Tequila & I wish you ALL a very Happy & Safe Holiday season. And a special shout-out to Kaybli for starting this AWESOME Forum.
I ask that each of you say a Pray for the Following:
1. That God watches over all of America. Also pray that he/she helps US, for we are going through some Dark Times 2. That ALL citizens of the World, that one day, they might ALL enjoy Equality/Freedom for all of them 3. That God protects Mother Nature; for WE are but a guest in her house and she doesn't need us, but we need her. 4. That the Hungry, Poor, Homeless, Sick, The Lonely, etc. have a Good Holiday Season. 5. That the Yankees in 2019 go to the WS and WIN the WS.
Lastly, this Holiday Season, I ask ALL OF YOU to perform an Act of Goodness (help those in need).
Again, A Happy Holiday season to ALL OF YOU.
WE Really enjoy this Board (that's my Holiday Present)

I’ve been sticking to my pledge to do at least one anonymous good deed for someone each day. It feels really good...

2018 ended on a bummer for us. My sister back in MD was sent to the hospital. Turns out she has a brain tumor and had a mini stroke. The tumor is located in the left frontal lobe, the same place that my brother and my father got fatal, cancerous, and inoperable brain tumors that killed them. All we can do is hope hers is found to be operable and they can do something for her.
Don't want to be a downer, so yes. Happy New Year. We can't change certain things in life, and it goes on...Yet another reminder to live each day like it's your last, and try to do all you can to find joy in what you do...

So sorry to hear about your sister, hopefully she catches a break and beats this thing. it’s odd. My farther passed from his in 1998, and they told us that there was so indication that this is hereditary. When my brother got the same thing five years ago they said it was a coincidence. So here’s tumor #3... We’re hoping this one is operable. Some tumors are like a ball, and can but cut out, while others, the kind mybother family members had, sort of grow roots in the brain that travel in every direction. Those require aggressive radiation, and tend to be fatal. I’ve never heard of anyone surviving one of that type. We may learn what type she has today... |

Sorry to hear about your family, Inger. It's a pretty scary to see this happening to family members. I had cancer and the first question from my doctor was about family history. So much of cancer is genetics.
A similar thing happen in my family. My grandfather and two brothers all had esophageal cancer. My brothers both ended up passing within a couple years after the cancer moved to their lungs, but my grandfather lived another twenty years. Now, I get my throat checked on a yearly basis.

These genetics are so tricky aren’t they? I think you’re wise to have your throat checked. I’d imagine the doctors would refuse to give me an annual MRI, but my surviving siblings and I are all hoping we can dodge this bullet. My eldest brother passed at 64. Last night my 72 year-old brother said that the cancer “missed” that brother, but then again, it struck my dad at 67 and my older brother at 70 (My sister is 60). So we’ll never know if the eldest might have suffered from the cancer had he lived a few more years. One of the problems with aging is losing so many of your relatives. There were eight of us all told. Now it’s just me and one brother with three sisters. We range in age from 60 to 75. I have to go back to work tomorrow. I have an important meeting. Then I need to plaster a smile on my face and go out to sell. I need to remember to do good, and that my life will go on. To look forward to the morning and the abundant opportunity of life. I’m sure I’ll do it...I’m helpless to change Heidi’s fate...so I must affect my own... |

Thank you, my friend...I decided long ago that 2019 would be a better year...I can't let anything stop me from getting there. As it is 2018 was not horrible, mind you. I faced many challenges, and they seldom got me down...At 65 (soon) I still find myself searching for something, but I have little idea of what it is...There is a lot of joy around me, but sometimes I feel like I'm living a life dealt to me instead of choosing my own path. Perhaps life is always that way...Quitting my shitty job was a good start... (: |

Happy New Year to all you Yankee fans out there!
