Thanks Randy and Eric. I built a retirement home just can't afford to retire yet ! Just maybe work a little less and not as stressful jobs.
Judy I'm sure that you will have a great week and I'm sure Stan appreciates you going with him.

They are usually the best kind Judy. And what is really great is they would be in imperial measurements. This Metric system just came in as I finished school so I still prefer imperial.

You will have to share some of those canning recipe's with me Judy. Too late for this year but I will certainly have a garden in next year along with a greenhouse.
It is sunny here today but you can't see it. We have alot of forest fires in the area. Yesterday you could smell the smoke but the wind is stronger today and it is really bad. Just looking across the street you can see the blue haze in the air. Think I'll stay inside as much as possible.

Thanks everyone and you are so right Muriel. It was members on here and especially yourself that I have to thank for really encouraging me to do the adjuvant chemo. That is what makes this site so valuable especially to newly diagnosed members that are looking for answer's.

All clear !!! Now I will go to 6 month testing from the present 4 month's. This test was very important to me because now I am planning to move to the new house which I built on my little hobby farm. I'll just do a little consulting and management work and just enjoy myself.

Hi Mary
I was diagnosed with stage 1 b and had my upper left lobe removed. I had my surgery on Friday morning, was released from hospital Monday morning, and had a 1 1/2 hour flight home Monday night. On Tuesday morning I dropped into the office to see everyone. I only took painkiller's for a week or so after surgery. I had VAT's surgery and the recovery time is alot quicker than it used to be.
I also had 4 rounds of adjuvant chemo afterwards.

Hey Judy maybe that unknown animal was a buffalo ???? LOL

No ts I think most people here get the 2 or 3 weeks as well. But usually the longer you are with an employer the more vacation time you get.
-
12 weeks a year is a pretty good deal Eric. I actually get about 10 weeks per year but I can carryover 1 year's worth which gave me almost 20 weeks this year. Being in management I don't get overtime or lieu time and I actually lost 1 week of lieu time when I became Manager.
-
Well thought I should pop in now that I am back again. I have accumulated over 19 weeks of paid vacation leave this year so that is why I am not onsite as much. Just off enjoying myself. i still haven't gotten out fishing Bud but i agree it is a great way to escape.
Eric I love trivia books like that and i will have to check it out.
great to see you on here posting again Becky. still not sure about letting you drive the keg bus though. LOL
Judy in MI, you are just shopping away, new car, carpet, e-reader....
Judy in KW or wherever, nice to hear that you are enjoying this part of your trip.

We had a new member that recently joined our group, Deborah VF. Deborah is currently in the hospital and her Doctor, Oncologist, and Surgeon are putting a plan together to deal with a troublesome spine met. I'm sure everyone will join me in sending prayer's that this will be taken care of and Deborah can return home. Thanks.

Sorry you missed the fireworks Judy.
We celebrate Canada Day on July 1st and usually most city's have fireworks. Unfortunately when you live in the land of the midnight sun, it is not much point in having fireworks !!!
Little chillier than normal in the knife today but I have meetings all morning and hopefully it will warm up by this afternoon/evening.

Just wanted to wish all of our southern neighbor's a Happy 4th of July !!!!!

Congratulations on the all clear Annette. I just met with my Oncologist because I got the results of my last couple test from the nurse. My last test were just chest x-ray's and like you I was concerned and asked for a CT Scan for my next test. His reply was that a CT Scan puts alot of radiation into your body and he didn't feel that there was a big difference from a chest x-ray. He said that the first year he alternated between an x-ray and scan because he was checking for a recurrance ( sorry forgot the medical term for the area ) but now that wasn't a concern. I'm 2 1/2 years out from lobectomy. So that was his opinion and it put my mind at ease.

Great news Sue. Long journey but getting that NED result is so special.
-
Great news Cindy. Enjoy your summer !!
-
Bud I even get tired reading about all your activities !!! Lakes are almost open here now and then I'll be gone fishing as well.
Well just another sunny day here in the knife. Tonight is the Relay For Life here and I'll be taking part as a survivor. Especially enjoyful for me because my daughter is one of the main organizer's. Will be great to see all her hard work pay off.
-
Geez Linda our camping season started a month ago in the north !!!! I was in Alberta for the May long weekend and had the snow as well. Have a great weekend and enjoy the bug's, smell of campfire smoke and a few pop's.
-
Praying for another visit for Joel from NED. will be waiting to hear that great news.
-
No accent at all Eric !!! You stepped up and did something to get the word out and that is the most important thing. Great job.
-
Well another nice day here in the knife....and a Friday as well. Couldn't get any better unless it was a payday Friday.
Have a great day fishing Bud. we are just waiting for the ice to get off the lakes here to go out.
Enjoy the Relay For Life walk Annette. Last year was my first and our's is next Friday.
Judy in MI, hope you get all your laundry done without too many mixed colors like i have.
Judy in KW, it has been 75 - 80 degree's here for the last few weeks so stan wouldn't get much of a cooling off.
Now Judy I had a chuckle reading your post about climbing under the office furniture. I remember you telling me your height !!!! LOL
-
Hey folk's. Another nice day here in the knife. The beauty of living in a semi arid climate.
Judy in MI, I live in northern Canada. We are fortunate to have 24 hours daylight in the summer but not 24 hours darkness in the winter. it get's daylight at 9am and dark at 4pm in the winter. This morning at 2am it was 75 degree's and sunny. But in the winter we get the -40's and -50's quite often.
-
Well I'm back again for another few weeks before I have to travel again. Great weather here now. Sunny every day with warm temperatures and almost 24 hours of daylight.
Congratulations Eric. Sounds like you can really enjoy your summer now.
Monday's Air
in JUST FOR FUN

Well folks it is just another warm, sunny day in the knife. By warm I mean around 75 and not the high's that alot of you people get. Summer's here are great with very little rain, sunshine every day with temp's in the 70's and of course 24 hour's of daylight. Help's make up for the cold winter's.
2 month's with a shotgun rider Judy ??? Stan is my hero. Just teasing ya sweetie I'm sure it will be a great trip.
Bud, I've been debating this move for awhile. I make a really good salary here in the north and will definitely take a drastic pay cut moving south. But I have pretty well everything there now that I need with the new house, equipment, etc. I guess I will alway's have a "wish" list. But I think now my priority is changing from making money to just living comfortably and enjoying life more. I remember talking with my Oncologist at our first meeting and he was asking about my future plan's. i told him about my hobby farm and his word's were " do it sooner than later "
