Well that's another hospital that I can't go to anymore; I'm down to one left so I better get my attitude together once and for all. Luckily I have the best nurse in world. My oncologist had actually removed himself from my case over my last episode, but she pleaded my case to him and he re-instated himself.

Got another dose of chemo today and the Doctor said the chemo had nothing to do with my last episode; it was too many drugs - all of which I have stopped taking. I am feeling very good and even have an energy audit job lined up for the 14th.

When I'm completely bald I'm just going to tell my customers that I do it on purpose because it is more energy efficient, LOL.

That GREAT pick up Job.

I like that Hey guy I have less static on the top. SO going Bald is like switch from Flex duct to ridged you can pickup 33% efficiency

Feeling so much better; able to be a real husband last night - if you know what I mean. Big day today for my wife; bought her a used car she loves and a butterfly tattoo that she loves. Still no luck finding someone to buy my truck, but I'll be alright even if I have to let the bank take it back, so no worries there either. It's a shame, because it's a great truck at a great price; I'm just running out of time to sell it, because I just can't make one more payment on it, and I'll never live long enough to pay it off anyway.

Do you have disability insurance?

If not, as a patient in your situation, you can qualify for SSI.

Yes, but not SSI; that is for people who have not worked enough or at all in their life. I am 52 and I am on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and am getting $883.00 a month. It is based on your last ten years of work, so the last few years of not working much and trying to build my own business probably reduced what I would have earned, but it beats a blank. My medical insurance is covered through my wife, so I'm good there.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this Tips. You hang in there bro.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this Tips. You hang in there bro.

I appreciate the sentiment. At least things are getting better for the time being, and that's giving me time to get some important things in order for my wife.

Here's a pic of my wife's new tattoo that she just loves.

Good morning, Bret and everyone!

I'm riding my old bike enough now that I MUST get a new saddle. Ouch.

[A/C guy's chick]

morning Bret , Tip & all...nice tat for your wife Tip...I must admit I have no tats or even want one. Art go buy that new bike seat, I would buy a bike myself but hubby feels it would never be used but someday I'll just go out and buy one and show him it would...everyone have a GREAT Sunday !

Good morning, Bret and everyone!

I'm riding my old bike enough now that I MUST get a new saddle. Ouch.

It took me a while, but I've gotten used to the mountain bike type saddles.

They were initially rather uncomfortable, but either my backside has shrunk sufficiently or I've got callouses in the right places.

I did some reading on saddles, and I found some interesting points.

Gel is not always better for all riders.

An ARS saddle will preserve your ability (as they say on TV) "to be ready."

You can develop an ability to have your weight on the saddle without pain, but you may be affected as mentioned above, without pain.

Leather saddles and springs are making a comeback, because they can mold to your "sit bones," and which makes them very comfortable if you put in a few weeks to break them in.

I'm buying an ARS saddle on Amazon today.

Cool
what Make of Car?

Cool
what Make of Car?

A 1999 Ford Escort with 130K miles on it, but it's in great condition inside and out. My wife loves it and intends on driving it 'til the wheels fall off. Worst case pay off for it is the end of July, so she will have no car payments to worry about with that car.

'Evening Bret and everyone. Got the wisdom teeth out and got beat up less than when I had the #38 taken out (the dentists pliers slipped and hit the bone pretty bad).. #48 proved to be less trouble and #18 and #28 were easy as they were growing straight down, not impacted. Haven't had to take narcotic pain killers, just icing myself down and popping the antibiotics.

Tips, nice tat for the Mrs. Mine isn't into ink, while I'm probably gonna go for more ink work at some point. Good luck on the truck sale! Escorts are workhorses. My stepmom still drives the 86 Escort diesel that my dad bought used back in '96 and it's not like they couldn't afford to get a newer car (my dad could give her his spare Vectra that he uses for business trips, also diesel), but this one just won't quit as long as my punk little brother doesn't get to drive it. He had his '03 Accent for under a year and already had to do 2 engine rebuilds.

AC, get the bike sooner, rather than later If I told my wife she couldn't buy a bicycle, she'd probably dope-slap me. That doesn't mean I can't make fun of it (she got a hipster-bike lol). She also makes fun of my watches/wardrobe/gun habit
