I also can relate. I lost both of my parents to cancer in the same year, two months apart.

He said nothing to me, but he did to his wife who passed it on to my wife a few days later. Well, that is how we did things in California, so that is how I assumed it would be Nationwide. Well it's not, and you would think I would be smarter by now. But it may cut down on my posting if I think I am eggshells all of the time. Can't win for losing I guess.
Mark please don't feel like you are on eggshells in here. We are all in here to have a good time and chat with friends, that includes you. I am sorry if my first post started any of this, that was never my intent.

I am very sorry to hear about all the family members everyone has lost to cancer, there is nothing worse than losing a loved one. I have lost quit a few myself and just found out my father in law has cancer on Friday. We should know more about what is planned for him by Wednesday.



Anyone watching football????? They all said Arizona was going to win but the niners just returned a 104 yard kick off This game is going to come down to who sucks the least tonight.

Cris, do you remember me saying last week that I am actually afraid of women, or at the very least intimidated by them. Not physically of course, but mentally. I once had a girlfriend tell me my largest personality flaw was I was far too sensitive. I truly worry about what people think of me as a man. I dress like I just fell out of a laundry basket. My wife would not let me pick out any of my own clothes because I have zero taste. I don't know, nor do I care what matches. Even when I was borderline wealthy, I dressed like a bum cuz I got a kick out of it. I walked into a Ford dealership in old holey shorts and tee shirt and flip-flops one night on my way to dinner and a half hour later drove out in a brand new $25,000.00 Club Wagon with all the bells and whistles back in 1993. I paid for it with my AX Platinum card, walked in looking like a vagrant and drove out with all of the salesman's mouths hanging open. All except for the one that took a gamble on me................LOL

Agreed. I'm a very visual person (as are most men) and definitely like some lights on.

Mark, if you're ever in my neck of the woods, feel free to get yourself a beer from my fridge. You're always welcome, my friend.

That's my plan. Kind of holding out for one to come out of a wrecked truck, as I can probably get it for free from my buddy at the dealership. With wintertime getting ready to set in and the Farmers Almanac telling us we've got a lot of precipitation coming this winter, there should be a few trucks in the body shop during the coming months.

Dang Cris, that sucks. That's news nobody likes to hear. What kind of cancer is it? If you need anything, let me know.

Game's on in the background as I'm getting stuff doen around the house. AZ is looking better in the 2nd quarter, but that 1st quarter was horrible. First two drives were 3 and out.

Thank you JT, you just saved what has been turning into a very grim evening for me. But you've indicated you'd like to come to North Carolina, and several cool members live within 30 minutes of each other here, so at your first sign of frost bring that beautiful new toy here for us to admire, not to mention ride in.

I do remember you saying that, now. I am also super sensitive, I worry way to much about what people think of me. I want to make everyone happy and 99% of the time I wind up making myself miserable. I had one of my best friends tell me last night that I needed to stop that, but I don't see that happening. Have to make everyone happy....... I have to dress Troy also so don't feel bad, I just think it is a married guy thing. When I first met him he knew how to dress and when we got married it was like that concept was thrown out the window. lol.

I would to have loved to have seen the look on that salesmans face as you whipped out the credit card and bought a car

You're welcome, Mark. First real frost was last night. The positive side of that is I think I won't have to mow the yard anymore this year. I'm going to try and make it out to NC for a few days sometime within the next year. I've been out there several times and always enjoyed my time there. I don't see it happening anytime soon, but perhaps next spring or early summer I can arrange a long weekend out there.

Nope. I'm stuck on the History Channel right now. Can't find my remote, and I'm too lazy to get up and change the channel. Which is sad when you see where my TV is compared to my desk.




Mark --> Help yourself to my fridge any time as well. Also, see that Miller Lite on my desk?? Happy 233rd, Brother!! Picture me hoisting it up in a toast to the Marines!!! Here here!!
