Since i started blogging in March 2007 I have made thousands of new friends. One of the first was a chap called Charlie. He and his wife Bonnie started their own blog and write about their cruise experiences. Well now Charlie needs your help.........and your thoughts and if you believe.........your prayers

He is such a friend, and will be a ton of fun on BC4. Oh yeah, I got over a 1000 hits after he posted this.

We have lots of blogger friends out the, more than we will ever know. These photos came from one of those friends from blogger cruise 1. It was a wonderful time and I am so looking forward to renewing all these friendships.

THIS NOTE WAS PART OF THE MAIL

Dear Bee,

Sad to see this news as Princess Elaine had mentioned on several calls Charlie was winning the battle, your message is heartbreaking. We send our sincere thoughts, prayers and love to you both and look forward to seeing Charlie with you on BC4. It was our pleasure to meet you on BC1 and will always remember Sarge who entertained us at dinner.

All the very best as the fight continues.

Yep, I was really into my magic trick……..

BLOGGERS MAKE GOOD FRIENDS

Holy crap, it’s Halloween

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

fresh supply on hand

What’s funny about breaking the law?

I can see November from my house

 

Do you want me to decide who will lead this country?

Remember Me??????

This was a happy day in my life, 2/26/10, the day I took my final radiation treatment for Lymphoma.

I was long past this point in 10/11/09 where I was hospitalized during my Chemotherapy.

Well, today I looked back through my blog to 5/18/10 for a post I did called “What, me worry?????” the following is a short excerpt from that post:

“She has a sparkle in her eye, yep, she sure has one. The problem is she has fear in her heart but is not willing to share it. I even know what it is, we are waiting to hear from my team of doctors about the surgical removal of my lung cancer, it could go either way, they may decide that I am not strong enough and want to wait. Miss Bee is not sure that I am strong enough to withstand the surgery either, we want to do it and get it over with but ours may not be the final decision.”

You see, when I learned about this problem because they found the spot in my lung when they did the final follow-up pet scan from my lymphoma, I told her I cannot do this again. Well now, Miss Bee then took charge, she called Dr Wacks and told him to do something, because I was ready to give up. I suppose that if I had not changed my mind she would have kicked my ass.

So here we go, under the knife, ready to have the upper lobe of my right lung removed to rid my body of cancer once and for all. My very good friend Jeter Harris still has this photo on his sidebar.

Well that is all over now and this past week I had a PET Scan to determine if the surgery was successful, NOT! Yep, I had been having pain in my left arm a thought I had a pinched nerve in the neck area causing my pain. Well it turns out that it was a nerve being pinched by a tumor growing on my neck and there is two other places on my back that is shows up. They did a biopsy on one of the spots and it is cancer related to the lung cancer, but now it is in bone.

You guys know Dr. Green, he had the displeasure of explaining everything to me and Miss Bee, along with our options. He informed us that once it is in bone they do not know how to cure it. They can radiate a spot, such as the one on my neck and kill those cancer cells but since it shows up in multiple places he said “there are three we see and more that we do not see.” Chemo goes through the whole body and will work on stray cells.

Fast forward to today: Holy crap, what the hell is this???????

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time,

and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha

Chief of Radiation, Palm Beach Cancer Center

Yes, it can get worse

Of course, there was one serious person here.

Jumping frogs, what the heck is that?

It is a mask molded to my body then allowed to harden, then they use to clip you down to the table and I promise you cannot move

Then they carfully aim a beam of radiation to the tumor and kill it. I will repeat this 5 days per week for three weeks, sounds like so much fun……….

And when they got done, there was trick or treat candy…….

The Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving I will see Dr. Green, having finished my radiation I will start Chemo again. It is supposed to much more tolerable than the last round. I certainly hope so. As I mentioned, Dr Green told us he could not cure the cancer but he can control it for as long as the chemo works. He said the cells would become immune to the chemo eventually, we did not talk about the amount of time this will take but he did answer my question in a favorable way when I asked if he was using his watch to estimate my time or a calendar, it is a calendar. Maybe we will talk about that stuff when the chemo stops working.

Life has not always been easy, but we made it to the golden years, I still have things to do, places to go, and one more hurdle to jump………..

Before this is over, I will tell you what I really think about cancer.

To be continued

Remember in November

Without your vote these can become this

 

Someday, the right person will step up and be a leader

YOUR VOTE IS A PRESICOUS GEM

She has no honor

I like this add, and I hope it works.   Miss She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has no honor, like Charlie Crist she is not willing to accept the will of the voters, if Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller fails to win Alaska, I hope the Democrat wins.

 

JUST FOR MATT MAN, SOME DIVERSITY

We’re going to punish our enemies

Our fearless leader on Univision Radio

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

A comment on the Article

As long as we’re calling out enemies, lets start with Obama.

Obama is rabidly pro-union, therefore an enemy to prosperity, capitalism, our ability to compete internationally, and to our children, since unions have ruined the schools.

Obama is an enemy of our constitution and laws. He is Defending and rewarding illegal immigration for political gain. He is destroying free speech and is against the right to bear arms. He is subverting the election process.

Obama is an enemy of white people, especially white men. He is constantly playing the race card, or having his minions do it, and shows a marked animosity towards whites, including our British allies. His anti-colonial Marxism is too strong to be hidden.

Obama is an enemy of capitalism and prosperity. He is using the power he has constitutionally, and the power he has usurped from other branches of government, to bully and steal from American companies and citizens in the implementation of his Marxist, racist totalitarian state.

Obama is an enemy of justice, as numerous incidents have proven, but most importantly, his policies at the DOJ of not prosecuting crimes against whites if they are committed by a minority.

Obama is an enemy of truth. The man is a chronic, pathological liar.

Obama is an enemy of the United States of America, in every possible way, and now he is encouraging non-citizens to see his political opposition as “the enemy”. Obama is evil. Pure evil.

YOU WANT ENEMIES MR. OBAMA, TRY THESE

What the old sarge thinks:  It is hard for me to believe that we have reached this point in our country, a president who like Nixon has his enemies list.  The problem Obama has is that his list includes about 60% of our people, keep it up, I can see November 2012 from my house……..

Special thanks to Joy Behar

Yep, the bitch from “The View” and her ridiculous  program on CNN Headline News has, in a big way,  stepped into the Harry Reid and Sharron Angle campaign for the Senate  seat from Nevada.

Behar who really let loose on Angle.

"I'd like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx," she said. "Come here, bitch! Come to New York and do it!"

Ms Angle was so pleased with with the idiots comments that she sent her a nice note and a beautiful flower arrangement:

“Joy, Raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Sharron Angle”

A toss up, you decide (smile of the day)

Another Senior Moment

Another blond moment

ONE OF THEM HAS TO MAKE YOU SMILE

Sometimes it is Bad News…..

The old sarge and his very good friend (1968/1969) Leonard (Chip) Soronen RIP-9/3/02.  I learned of his death through my blog apparently he did not find the miracle that I found in my life.  We were in Vietnam together.  I understand that he drank himself to death, so sad, rest in peace my friend, I will never forget.

Give Obama a fiddle and what will you get?

Union thugs at it again

• Los Angeles: Union Fires Worker For Wearing USS George H W Bush Shirt While Setting up Obama Rally Staging…

 

union thuggery hand tools

This guy’s son is a sailor serving on the USS George H.W. Bush and he was fired by union (Democrat thugs posing a union)

 

A stage worker setting up the stage was fired for refusing to remove his hat and turn his sweatshirt inside out and the reason? The shirt hat and shirt both had the name “Bush” printed on them but not just any Bush but, that of George H.W. Bush.

The IATSE (Local 33) union fired the worker even after he explained the shirt to his bosses. The shirt didn’t explicitly support George H.W Bush but that of the aircraft carrier named after the former President and the aircraft carrier his son has served on for the past many years and is currently deployed. The union worker was interviewed on KTLA Channel 5 locally in Los Angeles.

The stage hand was identified as Duane Hammet and a distraught Hammet can be seen during his interview very distraught as his support for his son and his service becoming the center piece to his firing.

Unions have outlived their usefulness, or maybe not……..
