October 27th. The day started with anti-nausea medications and four needles of radioactive material injected into my nipple. I didn’t have to wait for surgery. While I was in the pre-op room, the hospital chaplain came to visit me. Strange. There were many other people in the room getting ready for surgery, but he came to my bed like I called him. And left whe

I'm back home. Long story short, they punctured one of my lungs with the port and it collapsed....so they used a scalpel to slice the skin between two ribs, then shoved their fingers in the holes "to feel" where the tube goes...then inserted the tube, fished it up the inside of the rib cage to mu upper chest. My left side was augmented to match my right side, but there wasn't quite enough skin on the r

Cute kitty. I'm not a big fan of dogs. I just never really got into them. I dunno. Our cat, Finch, turned out to be my cat even tho we got him for the boys. No matter where I am in the house, Finch follows. I don't mind except he likes to SLEEP on the couch in front of me while I ride the cross trainer. Can you believe the gall? I throw empty water bottles at him as I'm s

[quote]Father, as I face this operation, I come to You with my fears and misgivings and ask You to put into my heart the needed courage to face the day with unwavering confidence in Your Goodness and protection. May the knowledge that You do not sleep while I am in a deep sleep, be an assurance to me that I need not worry nor be afraid. Calm my nerves, put my mind at ease, and in Your mercy, forgive me all my sins. Give to the surgeon a steady hand and the skill to do h

Sounds painful. Never been stung by a hornet. How the heck did it get in your house? Keep an eye on it. You may be allergic.

I was asked to say a few words at my Aunt Shelby’s funeral in September. She planned the entire event, from the Elvis gospel playing in the background, the suit she wore, the flowers she wanted, the casket, everything. So I was surprised and happy when my cousin (her only child) asked me to say a few words, read a poem, something. He knew she was a mother to me in so many ways. And he never resented the time she spent with me, the

[quote]I have to disagree. Recent history has not proved that to be true.[/quote] Ok, your argument is logical to me, and a good one. I can't stop thinking that the "swing" vote that was so easily "swung" for Obama, and have now temporarily swung toward Reps because the reality of Obama didn't live up to the hype. <span style="font-size:

[quote]I'm a member on a different forum that has fairly good moderators. If an issue gets too far off topic or the posters become too offensive and annoying, they either lock the post or ban the offensive members for a spell. It works well enough. As there are trolls out there who look for an opportunity to be annoying and/or offensive it is nice to have moderators who can render assistance when needed.[/quote] Hmmm, even at the height of JU's heyday,

[quote]Personally, I don't mind when the label is clear. But I do hate it when some people manage to turn every political/societal/economic issue into a debate about religion. It's annoying.[/quote] I do understand this point. Been on both sides of it...lol. However, there are people for whom there is nothing else (and I've seen this with some gamers too...noting exists but the game/technology etc). It's just that religion, fait

Herman Cain was here last week at the tea party rally. All this hype about elections, but the truth is, it won't change anything unless both Houses are won, and it may hurt Republicans in the long run if they just take the House (meaning 2012). If the Reps win the House but not the Senate, then Republicans will be labeled stone-wallers, lovers of grid-lock, etc for the next two years because the Senate will

Here’s a novel idea. You don’t like reading people debate religion? Don’t click on that topic! It always amazes me when people who label themselves fairly “open-minded” get all bent out of shape over a religious debate. Never mind the endless political, technical, social, and entertainment debates that occur here without a peep of prote
