Hm. I'm sorry. Ya know, if I were in your bucket I'd take a flier. I mean go to the Phillipines or some damn place and seek out someone really alternative. What have you got to lose?

Strange things happen. People are cured of terminal disease through procedures that aren't recognized by modern medical science, with enough regularity that I'd take the chance. There are also spontaneous remissions that remain unexplained.

I'd rather you stick around awhile, David. We've had our issues, but I consider you a brother. Take some radical measures, even if it just means a few days in the tropics, is my advice.

Dave, I sent you enough books to last more than a few weeks, I'm not pleased. Heading out to Barnes and Noble, maybe I can negotiate with the stacks of books on this issue.

damn, Damn, DAMN!

This is a joke gone really wrong. I'm totallly embarassed! :( I apologize abjectly to all.

The bad news is for all those tub thumping scat in the hat right wingnuts that are going to have to put up with being roasted for a good many more weeks... hopefully, many, many more weeks.

You see, the new chemo, after only 3 days, seems to be working! I'm pretty much off of O2, breathing much easier, coughing less, have an appetite and even feeling a bit frisky (:eek:). Really too soon to tell if it's going to last, but things are looking up. Made my doc's day when I told him.

Again, I'm really sorry if I upset anyone and hope I may be forgiven.

The Erster roast will continue until mortality increases. ;)

Wow, you had us scared there for a bit. However, under the circumstances I am quite willing to forgive you!

Up with chemo (and bring on the elections)! :D

Well, that's a bummer. When your number comes up... as it will for all of us someday sooner or later. I'm sorry to hear the news, of course. I hope to meet you again on the other side. Time to make plans for the next phase in your existence, I guess. When you get up there, Buddy, remember us all waiting behind you in line down here.

Bob Cleek

10-24-2006, 08:47 PM

Well, I'm certainly glad to read your latest post, you asshole! I actually was feeling sorry for you. No question, only the good die young. Glad to hear the chemo is working! Maybe our prayers did help!

You've got an invalid haircut
It hurts when you smile
You'd better get out of town
Before your nickname expires
It's the kingdom of the spiders
It's the empire of the ants
You need a permit to walk around downtown
You need a license to dance

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

From the President of the United States
To the lowliest rock and roll star
The doctor is in and he'll see you now
He don't care who you are
Some get the awful, awful diseases
Some get the knife, some get the gun
Some get to die in their sleep
At the age of a hundred and one

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Maybe you'll go to heaven
See Uncle Al and Uncle Lou
Maybe you'll be reincarnated
Maybe that stuff's true
If you were good
Maybe you'll come back as someone nice
And if you were bad
Maybe you'll have to pay the price

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Oh, golly. Given recent postings I thought you'd gotten a prognosis of a few weeks.

One thing amongst a few that stuck with me from my analyst. We were seated across, as we always were. I was thirty, madly in love with a new woman, about as vibrant a physical presence as I ever will be. He was fifty five, a bit wizened for that age, but I listened to him. We were talking fate and life, the way. How important we imagine ourselves to be. He said, "We are all dying."

Damn it, is that right? Yep, he was right.

I was thinkin', "Well at least he's gonna make it through Nov 7th and maybe that'll cheer him up enough for a few more months."

By God, we'll all celebrate 11/7/08. :D

You did that to your friends, to make a negative statement towards Republicans!? I'm glad your doing better, but it seems to bring out a bad side of your personality.

Well how about that. I go to Barnes and Noble, get a Latitudes & Attitudes, a New Yorker and Harpers mag, have a sandwich and drink, come home and you're better.
damn I'm good.

Baaaaad 'kat.:D

I'm very, very glad the Taxol seems to be disagreeing with your nasty hitchikers, and apparently not disagreeing too violently with the rest of you. Except perhaps with your judgement ...

If you ever wondered how we feel about you ... well, you won't need to test those waters again.

Of all the low down, rotten things to do! :mad: You made this Kitty VERY unhappy. That can be quite hazardous to your health.;) I can't say it's the worst stunt I've seen a fourumite pull, but it is pushing the envelope.:eek: To think, I've been thinking of ways to keep you warm at night.:rolleyes: :D

Glad you're not checking out just yet.

Meerkat

10-25-2006, 01:13 PM

I actually did think you all would notice that I'd been bouncing around as usual and take it for the joke it was meant to be.

No, Brian, it wasn't just a way to take another jab at republicans. Neither I or anyone else needs an excuse to do that! Besides, I post a lot more than criticisms of the criticizable right.

The poison du jour is not taxol, it's called Sutent (Sunitinib) and a 30 day supply costs a mere $5787.40

Kitty! ooooh, hurry! This stuff makes my bones ache even worse! Meow! :)
