    My son lives in Bradenton and works in Tampa. He and his girlfriend are making me a grandfather again in September so I plan to be down there around early to mid month. We can do the brew thing. Hell I may even start practicing this weekend.

    I'd kill just to SMELL chips and salsa.  You just set up my dreams for tonight (been dreaming about food for the last few weeks).

    Let me know where and I'm there......

    I lived on watching food network! I even wrote down recipes that I wanted to try once eating began again.
    I promise you it comes back!

    That sounds great! Now who owns a hotel?

    All kidding aside, I think it would be amazing if we all really could meet!
    I can just imagine all the fun things we could do and all of our families could come too....ah what an event that would be!

    Of course we wait for hubby and everyone to finish treatments.
    This all started as a silly "let's pretend" thing but I really wish it could really happen!

    I have a hotel!!!!

    I don't own it, but I manage two hotels and an RV park.....you all can stay with me!!!!  If you want to see how beautiful McCall, Idaho is ...just google it ...maybe John can post a link or two :):) ....

    but it has to be at the end of June or Labor day weekend ...July and August this little 3,0000 town swells to 10,000 almost daily....

     

    ..and I'm not half kidding about anyone, anytime ever needing a room ...I get a certain number of comp rooms a month to use as I like (perk of the biz) and I personally pay no housing (my housing is included in my package) and I will always have room for a H&N friend. 

    Do you all realize I have only met ONE H&N survior...Eric Statler is the only one ....I crossed paths not too long ago with a family of a H&N patient at the same place I got my care, but I did not get to meet that person personally bc he was in radiation at the time...

    Somebody really should come see me!!!  :)

    Hey Tim,

    What a coincidence, My sister had Eric Statler do a talk on H&N cancer to a group of dentists she manages, then was promply diagnosed with tonsilar cancer, I had been in treatment for about a month, and even though she shared Erics info with me we didn't meet until just a couple weeks ago. What a nice guy he is and he has had a real fight. What a small world. When I get some energy back, I just may make that trip to McCall, beautiful country. Small H&N world......

    Hey Joe

    Remind me here... have you lost your sense of smell?  You just reminded me that one of the things I did during treatment, when my diet was the equivalent of stinky baby formula, was to shove my face into everybody else's plate of food and just inhale the delicious smells.  Later on, when the mouth wasn't so sore, and the taste was coming back and the swallow wasn't, I'd actually put pieces of the food into my mouth and chew on them for a bit, and then spit them out. TMI, I know, but if you really miss the Salsa, shove your face into a bowl of it and see if you can't at least inhale some yummy.

    Deb (who STILL can't eat pepper, but delicious Mexican salsa flavors came right back)

    I'm in central California, in the Sierra foothills.  Several nice State Parks in the neighborhood, and Yosemite is about an hour south of me. Tahoe is a couple hours to the north. Plenty of room to park campers and motor homes in the driveway.

    OMG

    So do I.  I have Good Eats set for automatic recording even though they're all reruns.  I've got so many recipes that look sooooooooo good.  My family and friends are reaping the benefits though.  It is a bit distressing though not being able to sample the food to make sure it tastes right.

    I'm in - plenty of NorCals here

    Hi Deb,

    I know there are at least half dozen of us in the Bay Area and more including several hours drive like up where you are and Sac area. A nice spring picnic would be cool in a central location.
