Hello Everyone. I hope this finds you at your best. Thought you might like a couple pics from recent times. This next one is a particular favorite of mine. I consider it a special gift from God. Love Y'all Will

Hey Judy! Hey All! Judy, I don't know if you projected to me or not, but I ain't been here in months and had the urge to stop by this morning...hmmm. I so hope, everyone is doing the best they are able. I think that's all God asks of us, that we do the best we can. Me? I'm fit as a fine fiddle. I have one more treatment of Alimta and Carboplatin, scheduled for the 20th of this month and as far as I know, I should be getting back to normal life again once the effects wear off. The effects have not been bad. Maintaining white blood counts and avoiding infection has been the focus. Otherwise a little yucky feeling the day of and after treatments, nothing really to complain about. Been taking care of my wife more than worrying about myself. She had surgery on her neck again on the 10th of Dec. The surgeon put titanium plates each side of her neck bones from C-4 to C-7 because of pain associated with damage from hurricane Gustav and degenerative disease. She's still in an awful lot of discomfort and I'm afraid the healing process will be very slow. Unfortunately, during this time I have exposed to my wife that I can actually cook...had her fooled for 15 years. dangit! In my free time I continue to study on how Einstein and his entourage managed to mislead the scientific community for the past century and hope to live long enough to develop a method to correct that. I have a good idea bit not enough money... (send donations to... HA HA HA) Until next time.. I love you guys. Hang on as tight as you can, life is such a ride! Will

I updated the test page but the bottom line is that we'll cut it out Tuesday morning. I intend to make it as short term as possible.

Hi! Peace!

Cool!

Hi Friends! Last day in the gulf. Fall rolled in yesterday and last night and the temps today are a good 15 degrees cooler than yesterday. I go home in the morning. Spent 20 of the last 21 days offshore and I'm ready to be home for a bit. Got a little visiting to do, a little honey-do to do and Deer season opens Thursday. I'm so anxious to get in the woods. I absolutely love it there. I always feel closest to God when I'm in the woods. Otherwise, my health is good, PET scheduled for the 5th to be sure... I hope you are all enjoying the fall snap. Sorry, I know you girls in FL don't get it yet. It's coming soon though. Peace and love to you all. Will

Outside of trusting in God, my strength lies in the knowledge of two earthly situations. The first is in my ability to change the situation at hand. If I can change it for the better then I focus on the things I need to do to effect that change. If I cannot change the situation at hand then I see it as wasted time to repeatedly ponder that I cannot change it. (Not to be confused with reconsidering whether I can make a positive change). So I put my thoughts and efforts elsewhere. The second earthly situation is that I am the emotional anchor for a number of people, who will react largely as I do. If I maintain my composure and react smoothly, they will too for the most part and not that they don't have their own inner strength, I cannot allow myself to be the root or the catalyst for them to lose their strength. So to sum it up, If I can fix it, I can. If I can't, I don't worry about it. I draw much strength from my inner perception that I must protect those close to me, (whether they really need it or not). Will

Hello Phine Phriends! Skipping through the forum. Been working a lot lately. Judy, it's good to see you still bouncing around the country. Hope you're feeling well. Hope you all are being and doing your best. I'm still doing good...well, other than just about poisoning myself with too much raw onion on my burritos the other day. I'm still paying dearly for that. I had no idea onions could HURT so bad. I love you all. Have a great day! Will

Hello Friends! Just passing through here when I really should be working. I do so have distaste for data entry though. Ugh! I'd rather still be doing the physical inspections that I now have to enter the data about. Judy, best of luck on your scan, Hun. Y'all be cool! Peace and Love! Will

Cool for you, Denise! Hope y'all hit it off.

Good Morning! With all the rain last week, I need to mow again. Getting started... Have a great day!

ROFL! But, oh, so true...

We've had rain every day but one, I think. Judy, I saw what had happened. No big deal. Remember that the only rule for AIR is enjoyment. What title it carries or carries over, doesn't matter. I haven't a clue about your blood counts. Glad you've got the treatment behind you. Ann, it's funny that you mention someone counting down to Christmas. I thought my wife was the only person that started that early. Along about, I dunno, December 27th, she'll start counting down the days till next Christmas. I should've been welding on the frame for the pool cover today but I woke up with a crick in my neck and that's really not conducive to good welds on thin walled tubulars. So I've basically wasted the day... Hope everyone has a great evening.

Yep, had the wringer and heard the story to go with it. It was a feared machine.

Hope you have a tolerable treatment, Judy.

I do have some fond memories about clothes lines and the special feel and smell of a line dried sheet and such. Then... When I was a kid I had a 10 speed bike, which made me rather tall in the saddle. I remember a night time trek across the yard on, then off the bike because of a clothes line.

Hi,Y'all! Have a great day! Later!

Having grown more impatient with modern attitude and ignorance, I believe I would stare at the clerk and give them an opportunity to realize and solve the problem. Upon their failure to do so, I'd probaby walk away from the counter, leaving the clerk to work out why they were still holding the box of donuts. The down side of that is that some poor unsuspecting customer will come along and buy them.

9.9 Sure, I could stand to have a job I enjoyed a bit more, but really who loves their job anyway? I could stand to be richer, but everybody knows that money does not equal happiness. I could stand to have fewer chores, but the truth is that I'm grateful to have the ability to do them. I could stand to have fewer health issues, but I could certainly have more, so I'm grateful that I don't. I could go on and on, but the truth is that the more time I spend thinking about life's horrors, the less time I have to smell roses and watch butterflies. I absolutely ADORE my life!

Hi, Everybody! Got caught by rain the other day so working on the grass again today with an additional 3 inches growth. I guess better that than having to mow again in two days. Hope you have a good workout, Judy. Ann, um... Yes, I feel your bad luck pain. It passes. Keep your chin up. Will

Air!

LOL! To shoo us with. Not to ride on...

LOL! Hello, Darlin. Ann is gonna get a broom after us.

I buy one for the wife... She takes care of everybody else
