Thank you

Hi all. I've been AWOL for a while. No particular reason, just getting caught up with stuff.

I wanted to send out prayers and hugs to all those having a difficult time right now. Hang in there. Seems we are challenged everyday with this disease. Come here often for the love and support that we all share.

Sending out happy faces and martini's to all those celebrating good results, happy times and meeting Ned!! Congrats to you.

I periodically thank my fellow friends here. And here I go again.

Thank you for a place to learn. A place to vent. A place to cry. Words of encouragement. Tears of sadness. Dances of joy. We certainly run a wide range of emotions in a single day or week. We are joined by a dreaded, horrible disease. But, somehow, we all rise above it and come here to support one another.

So, thank you. You carried me through some very very tough times. I count each day I am NED. Last year, this time, I was in treatment. March 2004 was my darkest time. Stage 3 Rectal Cancer.

God bless all my CSN family.

Hi Maureen

How are you?

You can have the banner, if I can remember where I put it!!

I'm looking forward to another Relay myself. I just got a job up at the high school. I'll be helping out the teacher that did most of the organizing for the Relay. Who knows, maybe this year, I'll be putting it together!!!

I'll be thinking of you come scan time. I should be doing a sig. really soon. Bloods Nov.16th.

Love to you,

Barb

Hi there Lisa.

Please, no thong police here!!( Funny, I did see some snazy Yankees thongs at the mall today)

Here's a little giggle for you. I thought of all of you sitting around the table at the Colon Palooza.( it's just a tad bit gross )



There was a man who loved baked beans...

There was a man who loved baked beans, but they always had an embarrassing and lively reaction on him.
One day he met a girl and fell in love. When it was apparent that they would marry, he thought to himself, "She'll never go through with the marriage with me carrying on like this." So he made the supreme sacrifice and gave up his beloved beans.

Shortly after that they were married. A few months later, on the way hame from work, his car broke down and since they lived in the country, he phoned his wife and told her that he would be late because he had to walk.

On his way home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk he thought he would walk off any ill effects before he got home.

He went in and ordered three extra large helpings of beans and all the way home he farted.

By the time he arrived home he felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!"

She put a blindfold on him and led him to his chair at the head of the table and made him promise not to peek. At this point he was beginning to feel another fart coming on.

Just as his wife was about to remove the blindfold, the phone rang. She again made him promise not to peek until she returned and went to answer the phone.

While she was gone, he seized the opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He had a hard time breathing, so he felt for his napkin and fanned the air about him. He had just started to feel better when another urge came on. He raised his leg and "Rriiipppp!" It sounded like a diesel engine and smelled worse. To keep himself from gagging, he tried fanning his arms a while, hoping the smell would dissipate.

Things had just about returned to normal when he felt another urge coming. He shifted his weight to his other leg and let go. This was a real blue ribbon winner, the windows shook, the dishes on the table rattled and a minute later the flowers on the table were dead. While keeping an ear tuned in on the conversation in the hallway and keeping his promise of staying blindfolded, he carried on like this for almost ten minutes, farting and then fanning each time with his napkin.

When he heard the phone farewells he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top of it. Smiling contently, he was the picture of innocence when his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had peeked at the dinner table.

After assuring her he had not peeked, she removed the blindfold and yelled "SURPRISE!"

To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated around the table for his surprise birthday party.

Hehe.

Aw Barb..thats cronically disgusting! lol! We are having about 40 people here on the 23rd oct. for Jen's 50th birthday. Your little joke here has prompted me to think about maybe doing something similar...not farting you understand..but maybe.....mmmmmmm
Maybe I should show an un-edited tape of Jen snoring in bed........nah...better not. Just a thought tho...lol!
Hey....welcome back and 'tis good to hear you are still fraternising with that NED fella!
Hey...the tears flow here too sweetie..for the good and the sad posts. I told you that kanga has a sentimental heart for you all. And it really does hurt to see our dear friends here suffer so. But joyfull tears flow for the good news too. I guess it is called "mutual love" in a very special sense of the word. Trust me...I don't tell lies.
luv n huggs, Ross n Jen
