I definatly like the idea. I especially like Tina's idea of the Smokey mountains. I think we could get group rates etc. Wherever it is, I hope it is close enough for me to make it.

Here you are......Posted by Ann on January 14, 2004
And here I thought I was not computer savvy!
(I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired.)
This is a true story from the "WordPerfect Help line" which was transcribed
from a recording monitoring the customer care department.
Needless to say, the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he is currently
suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause."
This is the actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support
employee. (now I know why they record these conversations)
"Rich Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away"
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's a blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a
little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord
goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the
wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables
plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other
cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of
your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from
the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power failure."
"A power.......a power failure?.... Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came
in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was
when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Medicare picked up the bill for my mother and my brother. They both had LC.

Thanks for the update Frank. I also thought of PM you but like Bunny, I did not want to pry. Bet you didn't know Bunny and I were alike did you?
I always look for updates on all of you and now you know why I don't come out and ask.
Keep the laughter coming Frank and I will help Ginny keep the "Fat Lady" from heading your way.

Thanks for the inspirational post. Now go celebrate. You deserve it.

Sorry to hear about your mother. Stay with us and keep us updated. we will help you over the bumps in the road as we travel this journey together.

I also get the annoying coughs. I might mention that I also tend to get pneumonia easily. I am just now getting over a bout with it. I know how you tend to be on the careful side and want to stay ahead of the monster. We all do. I am always looking over my shoulder for it.
I am not saying to ignore the cough. I am simply saying to not worry about it until other symptoms develop such as fever, chills or phlem etc. Do mention it to your doctor tho and let him decide.
You have enough on your plate as it is so don't borrow trouble.

22 here. That darn soup can, FM dial and that little midget kept me from a perfect score.

I don't have any info on the cyberknife procedure to share with you. However, I do want to say congragulations on the results of scan. I know STABLE was not the news you wanted to hear. We all want to hear NED. Stable is good so grab it every chance you can. Keep us posted and we will continue to help you on this journey.

Gee, can't believe I missed this thread. I have been under the weather tho. I am a 3 year survivor here in Tennessee mountains. Scans show NED as of now. Come on out SURVIVORS. With 3000 plus members I know there are inspiring stories out there.

Gowsh Cindi. You sure know how to stir up trouble girl.
I agree with everyone else. Get that second opinion and if necessary stir up some more trouble and get a third until you get an answer you are comfortable with.

I posted this in the GENERAL Forum and Connie reminded me to post in this thread. Thanks Connie. Since I was not feeling well today, I was not thinking straight. Perhaps the outcome of my nodule will ease the fears of the "unknown" and help someone else. If it does then that is what my purpose is for posting.
Some of you may remember me talking about a nodule on my CT a few weeks back. Oncologist told me it could be anything from scar tissue to an infection.
Went to pulmonary doctor on Wednesday of last week for a broncoscopy. Thursday I started chilling bad. Temp was 100.5. Talked to Pulmonary doctor on Friday... my doctor was not in so talk with one on call. He said probably flu since I had no other symptons but if I needed to he would meet me at ER. Still toughed it out and decided to go to ER on Monday. Felt this was faster then getting an appt and such. By now my temp was 102.
ER doctor determined I had pneumonia. Also stuck that thing up my nose to check for flu. Believe that to be the worst test since dx. Anyway I am home with an antibodic plus the IV antibodic at ER. Never was one to run to doctor but I think from now on if temp reaches 100.5 I will go. Temp is down to around 99 today but still miserable.
My question to each of you is this... How do we keep from getting the flu or pneumonia besides staying indoors and hybernating for the winter. I don't go out much except to mailbox and occasional trip to store etc. I have had flu shot and pneumonia shot. How do the rest of you avoid this situation?

Glad the surgery went well. Tell her to take it easy as the road is not smooth sailing but we will help her over the bumps. She will do fine I am sure. Keep us posted.

EVER WONDER ....
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

How To Swim and Ride A Bike
in JUST FOR FUN
Posted
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of
Tampax and proceeded to the checkout counter. The man at the counter
asked the older boy, Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know how these are used?"
The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They are for him. He's
my little brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these, you would
be able to swim and ride a bike. He can't do either one."
