    You're a damn fine specimen at 183!

    I'm more than a little glad to have met you and Codie.

    Hang in there, you should get Labor Day off, right?!

    2 years is a great anniversary! Like another birthday. :mrgreen:

    You know we are all thinking of Gracie and what she's going through (and you and Codie with her). So glad she has such a loving dad and mom to take her to the park, rub her tummy, give her treats as she deals with this cancer stuff once again. Gracie, you are my favorite dog that I've never met.

    Congrats, Rob. I keep wondering about how many people on here read your posts and went out and finally got colonoscopies. I've told friends (not on this site) about your story - actually my husband kept putting it off, too. Don't put it off, people. It's not that bad. And it can save your life.

    Hugs to you and your family and 2 WS championships in the past 3 years is still pretty damn awesome.

I could sit here and type all afternoon and never be able to convey my gratitude.

    EVERYONE who has ever sent me encouragement has helped me get thru this summer from hell. along with the hell, there have been some really special moments....this being at the top of this list. you don't need to wonder what I'll be wearing in vancouver on sunday night :mrgreen:

    I still feel the same about everyone who supported me thru that crap. I busted out the jersey in portland, even tho it was much too cold and damp to be running around in a jersey. but, as they say, "fashion first" :mrgreen:

    anyway, portland seems to be giants country :mrgreen: . by the end of the night, I felt like kim k. being chased by the paparrazzi. the jersey was a huge fucking hit (again) :clap:

    Jeez, I don't know why your screen name isn't imagiantsfan. :P

    Congrats on the 2 year anniversary! Don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. Your experience has inspired me and many other people you'll probably never meet. Friends that I told about you. People who asked about my "Save the Pooper" wristlet. :lol:

    When Glenn and I saw 50/50 a while back, out of the blue he said, "Do you think Rob's seen this movie?" Even my absent minded husband had you on his mind.

    I imagine that you rock that shirt. You have a great team (even if they had to beat my Rangers to win a championship :( ).

    Looking forward to a day when I meet you in person. :mrgreen:

    Wish I could have hung out with you more...love those Hippie Mike stories!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
