Thats awesome that you beat it!
I was very fortunate - it was diagnosed early. Some surgery, several weeks of radiation and a couple years of follow-up testing. All things considered it could've been a whole lot worse.
I'm glad that you had a good outcome, Bob....I would have missed not knowing you.
yep.... me too..

Feeling's mutual, Wayne.

Right back atcha ..... and some day we'll get to meet (not meat) in person.
There's a funny story that goes with my "ordeal" (well funny in a kinda twisted way). I was in the hospital the week of Thanksgiving. Some of my co-workers decided to have a plant sent to my hospital room. In what I assume was an attempt to make the planter a bit seasonal, the florist included ...... wait for it ......
walnuts and a nutcracker! A few of the folks who sent it were mortified when they found out. I thought it was one of the funniest g.d. things ever and laughed myself silly. Laughter really IS the best medicine.

((((((((((((((((Bits))))))))))))))) I am so glad you are here today too! One of my most favorite people her on BN!!!!
and LMAO at the walnuts and nutcracker!

A couple of years ago I accidentally spit on my peewally while taking a leak.
My brother and I went to a private christian school for one year in high school. We robbed the snack machine every morning before school. Probably still paying for it.

Though most of you don't really know me anyway this has been fun to read, here's my two cents...
A few years back, at least 4 years, we had a thread on here about 10 things to do before you died, (I looked for, it I think it would've been interesting to see what everyone accomplished).
At the time I was a courier, and on a daily basis I would visit with the receptionist of a dealership I delivered to. Anyway I put on the thread that one of the things I wanted to do before I died was that receptionist
![coolup [smilie=coolup.gif]](./images/smilies/coolup.gif)
. As of january we have been seeing each other for 4 years
![happydance [smilie=happydance.gif]](./images/smilies/happydance.gif)
, bummer part is she does belong to someone else, so to speak
Umm.. I'm a hopeless romantic and own a copy of The Notebook, to loosely quote the movie.." people ask if I've lived a good life and I can honestly say I've loved someone with all my heart, and to me that's pretty good."
I'm a huge Star Wars geek, I have a leg sleeve of the major bad guys on my right leg(I have to portraits to finish my leg completely) and a mandalorian symbol on the back of my head.
Also, I briefly met Tiki Bar at the Margaritaville in Vegas during Club Trini,( the 10/27 show) but due to shyness and lack of drink to curb said shyness, I didn't venture to the table to meet anyone else

Growing up I had a pretty big birth mark in the center of my back and for as long as I can remember she would tell me that it was a sign of Aztec royalty

. Now that it's barely visible and at no point in my 35 years did the aztecs come looking for me to lead them, I think my mom read too many historic romance novels
