    Well, it was actually her wife.
    But srsly, I remember reading that and thinking WTF! She said she liked the idea of someone who's musically talented fathering her kids. Of the CSNY members, he'd probably rate the lowest on the talent scale IMHO.
    And the man is coyote ugly!

    What?!?! You didn't like The Hollies? :lol:
    (My prince has a Hollies Greatest Hits album. :shifty: :oops: )

    So it's interesting that the 2 least talented performed together. :lol:

    I'm guessing you're feeling a little better today if you can be on here talking trash about old musicians. ;):mrgreen:

    alright..enough with that talk of old musicians our younger readers have never heard of! :lol:

    I'm sitting here at the chemo place. it could be worse....it's mellow today and I have a nice mountain view from a comfy recliner. I've got an hour and a half to go and then they'll send me on my way. I do hate that fucking pump I will be leaving with....I tell myself it's way better than the 24/7 relationship I had with it for six months but, still.... :x I found myself in a bad mood yesterday, just knowing I had to come down here today. maybe the 24/7 was better, in that there was never any relief. These days, I dread getting knocked back on my ass....before, I was pretty much on my ass for nearly two months straight.

    oh well...enough bitching. when I get DC'ed on Friday, 3 out of 12 treatments will be done!

    Man, I wish I knew what to say. It sounds like chemo just plain sucks no matter how they give it to you. I'm thinking about you all the time, hoping you can just get through this latest crazy phase of your recovery. You can do it, I believe in you! :wave:

    Hey Rob,

    Did you or they play "Almost Cut My Hair" by CSNY when you got your hair cut? And who you calling young? :o

    You're a quarter of the way there with your chemo treatments and seem to be plugging right along. Reading what you've been through and if it were me, I think I would have crawled under a rock by now. Hang in there and know that I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Look for a duct taped box near you soon. Seriously though, BE WELL! (kind of like be the ball).

    Peace and positive Chi to you and yours.

    thanks, you guys.

    I forgot to mention I just heard that another fire captain I worked with (same shift, same station) has multiple myeloma (blood cancer) :cry: . this guy has always been kind of a bullshitter who never really gives anyone the real story about anything...so I don't know much...but I know myeloma is not good. it killed my across the street neighbor in vegas.

    so, since I've left the FD (last August) there's been me, the guy I just mentioned, another 48 year old with a cancerous brain tumor and a guy in his 50s who recently died from pancreatic cancer. this shit is beginning to piss me off, you know ;) ? All of our cancers are completely different and I think it's more a coincidence than job related. then again, who knows? at any rate, cancer sucks. I sadly think my long term prognosis is the best of us four...

    well, no, I didn't play "ACMH"....because there was no "almost" about it. I did cut my hair :lol:

    No Faithfull, yet :cry: . We get a lot of decent beer out here but, damn, I do miss the beer superstores (Total Wine, Lee's, etc) of Las Vegas.

    Finish up and go spoil that dog of yours! And be pissed off as well. You're right, cancer sucks as I've also known way too many family and friends who have suffered through. But you seem to be kicking its sorry little ass, short hair and all. Dunno what else to say but hang in there and stay positive. And spoil that dog!

    Do wish PJ would cover ACMH. It would be epic.

    Everyone's experience is different with cancer and when you hear about those less fortunate than you (can you believe I am using those words???) it can make you even more angry for so many reasons. You are going through hell...chemo saps every inch of life out of you both mentally and physically...you will have good days with acceptance, bad days with total anger and resentment, and days when you just feel like finding a way to forget abut it all. You share your roller coaster and let us in on such dark places and also some good ones too. You remind us of why we are lucky despite the fact a kid pissed me off today as I was teaching, or an idiot almost ran me off the road...Your story is important and I am so grateful that you continue to share.

    Try not to look for blame...people in the same type of job with different cancers is not an indication that the job can be a cause. keep your chin up, take one day at a time, empathize with others but try not to let their fight consume you...you ahve your own right now, and keep living life to the fullest xxx

You share your roller coaster and let us in on such dark places and also some good ones too. You remind us of why we are lucky despite the fact a kid pissed me off today as I was teaching, or an idiot almost ran me off the road...Your story is important and I am so grateful that you continue to share.

    Try not to look for blame...people in the same type of job with different cancers is not an indication that the job can be a cause. keep your chin up, take one day at a time, empathize with others but try not to let their fight consume you...you ahve your own right now, and keep living life to the fullest xxx
