  1.  

    Rholio, I have a book I'd like to give you to read. I think it might be worth your time/trouble.

    I can send it through Kindle, but need your email address. Can you PM me it?

     

    Appreciate it man, already have a stack of books people want me to read. I can barely put a post together...


  2. No surgery, again. My blood is too thin. There's some factor they use, but basically don't cut myself shaving. Or, standing. Or, in a dream. Normal is a 1, on blood thinners is a 2, I'm at 4.04. Liver is getting worse, and I should bleed to death long before the cancer is an issue.

     

    Starting singing Christmas carols to the wife on the way home, because she wants me around at least through Christmas.


  3. Started the new meds. Still haven't touched the morphine, but it's been tempting. Current weight: 215. Went from CBF status at 267lbs to 215lbs in 2.5 months. My 'normal' weight for a couple of decades was around 225. Gained about 10lbs, then quit smoking 4yrs ago and gained another 30. Didn't come off until... recently.


  4. Nah, that guy is a fighter. I got $50 says he'll be celebrating Easter at home with his family.

     

    Just didn't want someone else getting him first. An actual Geek Bored Geek, there's gotta be some sort of bonus there. Plus, it'd be a little awkward at the water cooler... "Hey, Jerry." "Hey, Ron. How you feeling?" "Yeah, you'd like to know that, wouldn't you?" *backs away*


  5. Hey rholio, a suggestion if I may, and I've been thinking of this for myself should I get sick. Let your wife have your login info here so that if you pass on, she can come tell us. That way we can lie to her about what a great guy you were, and we all can have some closure.

    All she'll need is to grab my tablet, logs on automatically.

     

    Down 51 lbs now. Just signed on with Hospice, got new drugs. Haven't tried them yet, using up the others first. Methadone, morphine, etc. Not thrilled about trying morphine.


  6. Whereabouts?

    Parents had a ranch near San Bernardino when I was born. Moved to West Michigan, home for both of them, when I was 6 months old. Doubt I'd make it out there, not feeling up to travel already. That's not likely to get better.


  7. Rholio-

     

    Just tragic news. Thank you for being a fun, conscientious board member. The world need more of you. Definitely hit some of your bucket list items (if one of those is visiting napa/sonoma let me know).

    Born in California, that might be be cool.
