  1. Oh Ginny,

    I am so sorry for you in the Duke's final chapter. The time you have had with the Duke had to be wonderful. I could see it in all of your posts about the Duke and in your posts in support of others.

    I will have a glass of wine to toast you and Earl tonight with dinner.

    I wish you even more strength to get through this through trying time.

    All my best to you and your family.

    John

  2. One of the regular foursome was sick, so a new member named George filled in. He was very good and pleasant company so they asked him to join them again the following Sunday. "9.30 okay?"

    George said, "Fine, but I may be about ten minutes late. Wait for me."

    The following Sunday George showed up right on time. Not only that he played left-handed and beat them.

    They agreed to meet the following Sunday at 9.30. George again said, "Okay, but I may be about ten minutes late. Wait for me."

    The next Sunday there was George, punctual to the dot. This time he played right-handed and beat them again. "Okay, for 9.30 next Sunday?" one of the foursome asked.

    George said, "Sure if I’m ten minutes late…"

    Another golfer jumped in. "Wait a minute… You always say you may be ten minutes late. But you’re always right on time and you beat us whether you play right or left handed."

    George said, "Well, that’s true – I’m superstitious. If I wake up and my wife is sleeping on her right side, I play right-handed. If she’s sleeping on her left side, I play left-handed."

    "What if she’s lying on her back?"

    George said, "That’s when I’m ten minutes late!"

  3. A Blonde, a Brunette, and a Redhead walk into a bar. The bartender tells them that in the restroom, there is a magic mirror.

    If you tell the truth in front of it, you get the one thing you desire the most. But if you lie in front of it, you disappear and you can never come back. So, the redhead goes into the restroom and stands in front of the mirror.

    "I think that I am the most beautiful person in this bar." And the Redhead walks out with a brand new red car.

    Then the Brunette goes into the restroom and says to the mirror," I think Im the smartest person in this bar." And she gets a million dollars.

    Then the Blonde goes into the restroom and says to the mirror," I think..." POOF! She disappears.

  4. A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up. The gas pumper spots two penguins sitting in the back seat of the car.

    He asks the driver, "What's up with the penguins in the back seat?"

    The man in the car says "I found them. I asked myself what to do with them, but I haven't had a clue."

    The clerk ponders a bit then says, "You should take them to the zoo."

    "Hey, that's a good idea," says the man in the car and drives away.

    The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car.

    "Hey, they're still here! I thought you were going to take them to the zoo."

    "Oh, I did," says the driver, "And we had a swell time. Today I am taking them to the beach."

  5. Denise,

    It is nice to see you have joined. I hope to see you here often. This place was a great comfort to your brother and he was here often. I hope you find comfort here also.

    It was really nice to meet you in person. I look forward to getting to know you better with you coming here.

    Take care.

    When you start your full blast chemo. Tell them to keep a very close eye on your CBCs. I did well through rad/chemo but had trouble with the full chemo and my CBCs. If your veins are giving you problems ask for a Medi port. It is so much easier on you getting the chemo.

    Good luck. Drink lots of fluids and eat all you can take. You may want to drink the high energy drinks. It would easier on your throat.

    Take care John

  8. Frank,

    Now that I am a "Honorary Woman for the Distinct Purpose of Providing Jokes that Expose the Truth about Men" (HWFTDPOPJTETTAM). I can post anything I want. I will be in their good graces long enough to be able to post a few jokes on the Truth about Women.

  9. A man and a woman are driving down the same road at the same time.

    As they pass each other the woman leans out the window, points and yells, “PIG! ”

    The man immediately leans out his window, shakes his fist and shouts back, “WITCH!"

    They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he slams into a pig that had wandered into the middle of the road.

    If only men would listen.

    Frank are you still keeping score?

  10. A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his

    chicken

    coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old

    fart,

    time for you to retire."

    The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of

    these

    chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the

    two

    old hens over in the corner?"

    The young rooster says, "Beat it! You are washed up and I am taking

    over."

    The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you

    around

    the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire

    chicken coop." The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a

    chance

    old man, so just to be fair I will give you a head start."

    The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young

    rooster

    takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the

    farmhouse and

    the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches

    behind

    the old rooster and gaining fast.

    The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch

    when

    he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM!

    He blows the young rooster to bits.

    The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Dangit... third gay rooster

    I

    bought this month."

    Moral of the story...

    Don't mess with us old folks....age and treachery will always overcome

    youth

    and skill!

  11. David's family,

    I am truly sorry for your loss. I am wishing all of you the strength to get through his passing. David will be surely miss by this family.

  12. There once was a lady who was tired of living alone. So she put an ad in the paper which outlined her requirements. She wanted a man who 1) would treat her nicely, 2) wouldn't run away from her, and 3) would be good in bed. Then, one day, she heard the doorbell ring. She answered it, and there on the front porch was a man in a wheel chair who didn't have any arms or legs.

    "I'm here about the ad you put in the paper. As you can see, I have no arms so I can't beat you, and I have no legs so I can't run away from you."

    "Yes, but are you good in bed?"

    "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

  13. A few minutes before the church services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking.

    Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front

    entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

    Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without

    moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

    So Satan walked up to the old man and said; "Don't you know who I am?"

    The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

    "Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

    "Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

    "Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

    "Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

    "Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

    "Yep," was the calm reply.

    "And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

    "Nope," said the old man.

    More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

    The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years!"

  14. Kim,

    I have scans every three months. I had a pause in my radiation treatments to be evaluated for surgery. You can only have a certain amount of radiation and have surgery in that area. If a patient has too much radiation and surgery is done to that area the body does not heal very well. I an not sure the number of Rads a patient can have and still have surgery. I had two options on my surgery evaluation. Surgery was not an option for me so they continued radiation after my evaluation.

    Your mothers side effects and timing was about the same for me. I would have radiation every work day and low dose chemo on Wednesday. Friday night and Saturday morning where my worst time for side effects. By Monday I would be feeling a lot better. I remodeled our kitchen during chemo/radiation. I understand your mothers need to get back to work. It gives you hope for being normal again.

    Best of luck to your mother.

    John
