Brilliant post Randy. Takes me back to the 70s and going to the football (soccer) with my Dad. Happy days. Tears in my eyes listening to this (just had my quarterly ADT injection which seems to trigger tears more easily). Tc

Tharze not one croaker on this group that hasn’t cried and more than once. I’ll make that bold statement….. tho it isn’t media stereotypical , men do cry too. It’s human to cry and cripes knows we are human.

It’d be my opinion that all guys rowing our boat would be prone to crying now and then, add in the extremely powerful , life altering , ADT drugs ….. that’s a whip a$$ combInation that will make anyone cry. Crying , occasionally, is good for me…. Gets “ stuff “ off my chest, kinda releases me , I think. Crying is OK ……but if you are doing it a lot ….it’s probably a good idea to check in with your medical support team. They have zillions of , new and innovative ways to help you or any family members. They see it and deal with it very effectively nearly every day.

Congrats to both of you. Dancing is certainly called for on a 5-year cancerversary. Kick up your heels and don't stop.

Excellent news Mouse and here's to the next 5. When my youngest son was between the ages of appx 4 and 6, we had to play Dancing in the Moonlight on repeat, in order to get him to sleep. Good luck.

hey quit whining and get outta there buster.

Look over in the distance ….thru the disposer noise and foggy smelly drain fumes , and see that kinda “ blob “ on the opposite side ……that’s me buddy …waiving at you. you’re not alone in here big guy. Lets us both get our behinds up outta this Dodge.

End of last week , before my latest Zometa pain train set in …. I went to a magnificent giant local Asian buffet … first time since before Covid started. And … I got out to a local Indian Casino where I lost a ship load of money playing 3 card poker and enjoyed the heck out of it. Buddy if I can drag my screwed, sick , butt up off my couch and go out ( the hammer pushing me in a wheeled chair ) you can too. It was good medicine , I didn’t think about being sick a bit ….might have regretted it the next couple days but the “ pain train “ was pulling into my station anyway. Yayahahahaya yayahahahaya

All that aside, I hope you start to feel better , that your upward trajectory hits apogee in space , over a Caribbean resort. Yayahahahaya yayahahahaya.

❤️❤️❤️

Pretty impressive K. Time to step aside Doc, there's a new party king.

Sounds like a good time. Glad you got out and about before the Z train left the station.

The strong spirit of some folks (you included) is amazing. I have a hike that I find challenging. The goal is to make it up to a lighthouse and the view off the cliff out over the Pacific is fantastic. Periodically I will be out there huffing and puffing and I then I catch up with this elderly lady with her walker. She does about 3-5 steps and then a rest, 3-5 steps, and so on. Amazing. I've talked with her and she loves the view of the lighthouse and it reminds her of younger years and of her husband. So, she packs up her walker in the car, drives to the closest parking lot, and makes the round trip hike. Her determination, and persaverance has inspired me many times to kick myself in the ass and get up and get going.

Your resilence inspires me in the same way. Tip of the hat

Awww, Mahalo nui loa Bruddah Kal💙.

We contribute to HU in our own ways, depending on personalities and there's a wonderful irreverence from some of us Croakers that makes us all laugh.

Love my HU "Band of Brothers" 😂 and so glad to be on this Journey with y'all.

I wanna be as much of a positive presence here to enliven/inspire in whatever way I can

Love ya Bruddah Kal

"Look over in the distance " Triggered this song:

Look over yonder

What do you see?

The sun is a-rising

Most definitely

A new day is coming (ooh, ooh)

People are changing

Ain't it beautiful? (Ooh, ooh)

Crystal blue persuasion

Wonderful QoL Bruddah Kal esp an Azn Buffet Yum Yum

Glad you had a Blast at the Casino despite the $ loss

Keep on QoLing on

That buffet has a dim- sum section , massive sushi layout , … a big desert section , rows of food and even a fresh prep counter if you want it extra fresh or want a custom dish. They’ll make anything for you but you might have to wait a bit. They were very nice to me, got me to a table ( in my wheeled chair ) and all ready to go effortlessly.

The casino was great too. Cudda quit with a couple thousand winnings but we don’t go there to make money, we go for fun gambling action on the casino floor. ( most casinos rate you by how many hours you spend on the casino floor. The more hours you last the bigger perks you accumulate. Free high end restaurant meals, free luxury rooms etc. )

Oh heck yea Dim Sum/Sushi Buffet - I'm so down for all that with a brew to wash it down. I'm not much of a gambler, I'd be in the Arcade playing video games LoL

This was Major Qoling and elated that you did it and had a grand time!!

Keep it up Bruddah, Live Large, QoL on💙

The site of us in the drain would make a good Twilight Zone episode lol.

I got hit with about 3 things at once but optimistic none will become the norm. Ended up in the hospital a couple days.

But yea slight improvements in all. My wife and I still planning/dreaming of another California trip when I reach some equilibrium.

Brother Kal you're the true warrior, McGiver to deal with this my hats off to you as I've told you before. Inspiration to us all.

❤️❤️❤️

Kaliber in reply toCAMPSOUPS

dang man , this stuff can be da chits can’t it. Sometimes it just seems like it’s one thing after the other ….. chain reacts destructively. I don’t feel like much of a warrior, since I’m getting my butt kicked so much yayayayaya.

I’m glad you got away from the hospital …. I hope you can stay out… that’s the worse, I hate that ….seems like you have a handle on things for now tho, that’s good. Thank goodness for our wives , huh.

Thank you brother … we’ll both hang in there too ….people can be very resilient .

❤️❤️❤️
