    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    Yes I am, with alot of them, and one is actually more of a sister to me, as I dont have a sister and she does not have any siblings.

    My Dad's side of the family is very close.. all of his cousins are more like aunts and uncles to me and their kids are like 1st cousins.

    The person below me still has living grandparents or great grandparents ( or had know a great grandparent)

    Hi Molly,

    Welcome to the board. Sorry to hear about your grandmother. She sounds like she is a fighter.

    One of my friends from high school is an oncologist at MD Anderson in Houston, but he is a Gynecologic Oncologist.

    Good Luck to you and your Grandma.

    Oh Man Patti, What a day you have had. BUT GOOD FOR YOU GIRLFRIEND!!! You stood up for yourself and although it may make you feel a little bad a first, hopefully the message got through that yes they may be busy people, but the patients deserve quailty time with their docs and should be told everything they want to know. I can't believe that your Doc doesn't go over the films with you, or even give you that option for that matter?!! Dad's doc always had the films ready with a printed copy of the report for us to take.

    Hang in there girl, your doing a great job!!!!!

    Signs of Dying?

    Lillee,

    Sorry about the decline. When my Dad was at the end, the confusion started about 3 weeks before he passed. But in those 3 weeks, he had days that were great! We finally knew it was the end when he started to fall whlie walking, or getting out of bed, and then eventually couldnt get out of bed and then became pretty much unresponsive and then the final stages signs started to appear, as in slower respirations, very low BP, low or no urine output and skin becomes mottled and cool to the touch.

    The fact that you Dad is still getting out bed is a good sign. Like the others said... say what you want to know, I knew that I needed to do that, and never took the chance to do it.

    Thoughts your way

    Court Case

    ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 ---CASE OF THE

    PREGNANT LADY

    A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed

    the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another

    seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man

    seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she

    complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

    The case came up in court.

    The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to

    say for himself.

    The man replied, "Well, your Honor, it was like this.

    When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She

    sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I

    grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment

    will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a

    deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I

    could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a

    sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this

    Accident'... I just lost it."

    "CASE DISMISSED!!"

    important investment planning

    IMPORTANT INVESTMENT PLANNING FOR HARD TIMES NOWג€¦ג€¦ג€¦.!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.

    If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.

    If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.

    But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for

    Recycling refund, you will have received a $214.00.

    Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

    A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

    Makes you proud to be an American!

    Thoughts going out your way!
