Let's hope for the best Blue. Whatever best may be.

 

Been through the same with my wife's breast cancer a few years ago. Scary as hell. But we beat it. I say "we" because it takes everyone around you to get through this.
Stay the course Blue. You have good support all around you. Let them be part of this and Team Blue will beat this.

 

Looking at low 90 deg temps today here in the low desert of the IE today


Bluegrass Taco ...... Thoughts and prayers going out to you !!

 

Exactly what happened with us. I've never seen my wife so determined to beat the crap out of her cancer.

 

After the initial shock, I'm already starting to dig my heels in and get ready to fight this. There are several reasons that give me extra motivation. Not least of which is my wife. She led a tough life growing up. I made a promise to myself years ago that I was going to do everything in my power to take care of her. And then there's the grand kids....3 of them don't even know their father. I have to make certain there's a positive male role model in their lives. Lastly, anyone who knows me will tell you I am the most stubborn person to ever walk the face of the earth. When I do go, it's going to be on my terms if there's anything I can do about it.

So....Enough of the feeling sorry for myself crap. Now the fight starts.

 

You got this!

 

Six Truths in Life


1. You cannot stick your tongue out and look up at the ceiling at the same time, a physical impossibility.


2. All idiots, after reading #1 will try it.


3. And discover #1 is a lie.


4. You are smiling now because you are an idiot..


5. You soon will forward this to another idiot.


6. There is still a stupid smile on your face.


I sincerely apologize about this but I'm an idiot and I needed company. You now have 2 options...delete it, or send it along to put a smile on someone's face today

 

Bad news Bluegrass. But it's amazing what they can do these days. Sister had stage 4 cancer of the liver. 2 resections and lots of drugs later, she's in remission for going on 5 years now.

 

still smiling

 

Ok....Go home from work, get out the lawn mower, step in a giant pile of fresh dog crap, argue with a cable TV salesman that decides to stand in my way while I'm weed eating, run out of gas on the cub cadet with about 30 seconds of mowing left......And STILL not lose my temper.

That's called self control.

Follow that up with 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

That's what I call a restful evening.

So....Back to work....This'll test the temper thingy....

Learn to smile in the face of adversity.

 

Good Morning All!

 

another beautiful day here in va! we need rain everything covered in a thick layer of pollen. have a wonderful day everybody

 

I can relate! Just finished Two and a half months of all kinds of pollen. It gets real bad Here! I just put a new cabin filter in. The pollen murders filters.

 

Morning all.

Trees are finally budding and coming on strong here ... we'll be greened up in about a day ... still amazed how fast it happens here. I think pollen is going to be heavy here this year as well. Doesn't bother me too much, but my wife has started up her Claritin ritual and says it's bothering her. Probably need to thatch and get some fertilizer down this next break.

Enjoy the day!

 

cabin air filters probably really good idea but wait until pollen done. 1 thing i don't get at dealer they wanted like 40 dollars and i found 1 at auto parts for like 17. i need to look at the reusable filter article on tw

 

mowed last week for the first time since surgery (daughter has been doing it) i'm just stuborn and i actually like mowing. i'm glad i thought ahead enough not to fertalize this spring though. i just tied a string around the handle and away i went

 

I replace mine twice a year and get it off eBay from Daytona Toyota.

 

hey now thats pretty cool thanks i'll have to check that out

 

I try to stay with OEM parts when I can.

 

me to. can't say enough about toyota so far i have a scion xb as a commuter i've never changed the oil myself it always goes to the dealer. at 190,000 miles toyota paid to rebuild the bottom end of the engine thats the only issue i've ever had with the car my dealer service dept is really good also
