Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 01:13 am  It would appear not....hope you have a good night Xenia--take care. |
Xenia | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 01:30 am  Oh crap...I missed you Roger. I just finished a RR visit and came and saw your last two posts. Hopefully, we can catch up with each other for a few minutes before I get booted tomorrow. Have a good night. |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 04:32 am  Good morning Roger! I just wanted to say thanks for doing such a great job with the challenge reward. I admire the fact that you are staying true to the game and didn't want to see polls and RR conversations. I think you gave us a nice objective report and we appreciate you! I'm sorry I wasn't around last night to hear it firsthand. I had a very LONG day and when I got home, my parents called to give me an update on my aunt who is going through chemotherapy for lung cancer. It's not looking good...I was very sad and depressed so I went to bed at 8:30. I felt really bad this morning for not being an active participant yesterday, but I just couldn't get the energy up to sign on after that phone call. I hope you all understand.... |
Vykin | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 07:14 am  HiMay10ns family always should come first. Best regards for your aunts health |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 07:19 am  Thanks Vyk sweetie! I'm feeling much better today! I want you all to know that I am committed to being here with you. Please feel free to ask me anything you want to know about me. I'm an open book.... |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:31 am  Hmmmm... mornings seem to be slow in here... I guess I´m the only houseguest that´s a morning person! Hehehe... Anyone around? |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:37 am  Hi Luke! I'm around....how are you today?? |
Zebulon | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:45 am  Hi everyone! I posted a new discussion topic. |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:54 am  Morning May! Morning, Zeb! Zeb--where did you post the topic? All I see under discussions at the top is your limerick page... |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:54 am  Morning May! Morning, Zeb! Zeb--where did you post the topic? All I see under discussions at the top is your limerick page... |
Xenia | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 10:19 am  Zebby my sugar plum! I responded to your new discussion topic! Go have a look! |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 10:51 am  Hello all!! Just checking in quickly. I saw the new banner. I know many truths!! lol I believe I've "fessed up" to the ones I'm aware of. If only they would be specific......I wonder what I know about??? Could they be screwing with me??? That gruop of folks?? LOL May---so sorry to hear the news of your aunt. |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 10:52 am  Thanks Roger and don't worry about the banner! We'll know EVERYTHING in due time. |
Zebulon | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:05 am  HiMay, I can only imagine what you are going through with your aunt. I think I've spoken about my friend and mentor, Jim, who went through the same type of treatment. Also, my own aunt battled liver cancer (and she even didn't drink) for over a year. Do you know if she has large cell type or small cell type and what stages it's in? Chemo is very tough to go through, but I really pray she gets through it and beats the cancer. If you prefer not to talk about it, I certainly understand. Cancer seems to a growing problem and I hope some of these doctors will find alternative forms of treatment besides chemotherapy and radiation. I've heard stories that the herb from the Maitake mushroom can prevent and in some cases reverse the cancer process. Again, I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through HiMay. I can only imagine how worried you are. Just make sure you visit and talk to her and keep her spirits up. |
Zebulon | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:28 am  I guess nobody is here. I'm off to keep entertained... |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:47 am  Thanks Zeb...I appreciate the kind words of support. My aunt is 87 years old. She discovered a malignant melanoma on her arm about a year ago. Surgery was done immediately but the cancer had already spread into her lymph nodes and eventually went to her lungs. Aunt Jane never had any children of her own and her only sister, my grandmother, passed away years ago. AJ's husband has passed as well. She lives in an assisted living facility in Montgomery, AL. I feel so bad because she is alone. My mother and father are really taking good care of her. But I feel pretty helpless being so far away. I've sent her cards and gifts, but I know she would much rather have me in person. I'm considering taking a few days off in November and spending Thanksgiving with her. It's amazing how I take my good health for granted.... |
Moondance | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:58 am  Good Morning all! May … you have had your share recently haven't you... I am sorry, and I hope that you do get to spend some time with her. I believe she can feel your good thoughts and energy even when you are not there... My love & prayers are with you! |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:05 pm  May... Hang in there... I´ve been down the chemotherapy road with a loved one before. Although it may bring little relief to the pain and concern you and your family may experience, I do offer you my love and support. |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:07 pm  Hello my dear Moon! Last night before I went to sleep, I did take a trip around your fansite... My dear, you are one beautiful person! And from getting to know you in here, I can truly say that your beauty is interior as well as exterior! How is your day going? I was in meetings all morning... and am now settling down again at my desk. It's Friday--TGIF!!!! So I can pretty much say that the majority of my attention this afternoon will be on these boards rather than on my work! hehehehe |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:08 pm  Moon, I've been wanting to talk to you about all this. You are such a sweet spirit and your words have been so uplifting to me. Sometimes its hard to admit I am sad or depressed when so many people are counting on me. I have to put on my happy face every morning in order to motivate my employees. Sometimes I just wish I could pull the covers over my head and hide from the world. It's been easier for me to talk about this in here. Everyone has been so understanding. |
Moondance | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:30 pm  I love you Luke ... if you weren't so perfect for my friend... I would make change teams Thank yo so much! I am glad you are around today ... there are some good discussions... I like the one May started "If" May ... you are so sweet as well. I keep thinking that for you ... when it rains it pours! But just think of the flowers afterwards. I know things are difficult but as you can see we care and Luke is great to get insights about this too! Seems like he has been through the ringer himself. I am going to miss "us" ... I have come to depend on the friendships here. I hope to keep you guys close though when 'the game' is finished |
Xenia | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:34 pm  Including me, Moon? LOL! |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:38 pm  Just checking back in---hello everyone!! It sounds like it's a typical Friday afternoon here in the house, with the exception of May's aunt, Vyk's neck, and Moon's virus. Let's hope the rest of us don't get sick or hurt!! LOL Being the oldest, I reserve the right to physically fall apart at any given moment for any given reason. Now mentaly--that is another story...I don't know quite what the story is...I just know it's another story!  |
Luke | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:39 pm  Roger! Roger! Roger! ARe you going to be around for long? |
Moondance | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:43 pm  Hi Roger... being the second to the oldest can I have that right too? |
