Big coffee big coffee diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke diet coke and then decaffeinated diet coke decaffeinated big coffee and decaffeinated big coffee for me on a daily basis.......:D

I figure Coke, Pepsi, 7 Up and Fanta are the most popular. Thank goodness we also have Schweppes as well! Kinda makes up for not have much Dew. Thai iced-tea and iced-coffee are to die for! Coconut juice is well liked too, and soy milk.

You're a good man Chak. God bless you.

I feel a multi post coming on, but I need to get some sleep. I'll go check out the kanger coop kids in the (later) morning. Just got done changing MIL's diaper, ugh. and sheets and showered her. Sorry TMI

Night Army.

Well just go ahead and PM him anyway and start it in a concilatory manner - Dear Shriek, no I meant Dear Shi*, no that wasn't it..Ah. Got it! It's Shrek right? ...... Hey, I'm numb from auditors so it's the best I can do tonight.

Sorry Dusty! It just really irked me the way he acted in the last thread. He could pm me if there was something he wanted to discuss. Sorry that you're having to deal with it. I can't say I'm surprised that you are getting the PM's and not me. I just don't understand how he walked away from what he did in the original thread without anything happening to him

Again sorry my man :)

Wow! Keep us updated and if anyone hears from our wonderful Stanley the Frank.....

Sarge has been missing for the last month or so. He wasn't keeping too well, and then dropped off the radar.

We haven't been able to track him down since, and we're all getting more than a little worried about him. :(

ROFL - I reached that conclusion myself before you got to the last sentence.

My stomach is a free cycle that breaks down the proteins in tonight's chicken breast dinner. But I wouldn't call the end result a 'database'. That I understand, but I have no clue what Dusty just said....

(I think I may have inadvertently redefined 'download' :p)

AH yes - that was me who posted that - it was meant to be Chak the only man at one of the ladies PJ parties but I'm glad it warmed your heart for more personal reasons.

Yeah you are absolutely right, Bronze. I will still double take when I see people that look like him.

Someone here posted this picture a while back and I saved it because it looks exactly like him after he found out he was terminal

I mean EXACTLY like him, to be honest I'm not sure it's not him. He flew out to Vegas to spend his savings and have a good time in his final weeks and this is exactly how I figured he would be spending his time. I couldn't get work off without losing my job so I didn't go with him. I regret that decision every single day.

His cancer started out testicular but he was to afraid to go to the dr until it was too late. The doc said it was the worst case he had ever seen and he was immediately sent to surgery. They weren't able to contain it and it spread like wildfire to his stomach lymph nodes and eventually his brain. It was one of the hardest things to watch happen.

When he came back from Vegas I ended up quitting my job and sitting with him all day everyday until the day he passed. I was right there with him when he took his last breath and even carried him out to the hearse when it was all over with.

Man I miss that guy

RIP Mikey

Hey Mr. Lion and Slim too! Good morning to you! Any dates this weekend King of the Den?

Not just yet. I had one last night with a new girl I met at a WaWa (of all places). She was fun and interesting. So far (2 dates in) it is going pretty darn well and is much easier than I had imagined it. I think having zero expectations is the key. Anyway, I have a couple days to get something lined up for tomorrow or Saturday...I suspect I will find something to do. My buddy has a birthday party (#45!) Friday at 9, so maybe I will just chill and go to that, it has been a while since I have showed up at something like that alone. He has been single for about 4 years now and claims he is stoked about me joining him in the fold, but he just started dating this girl who he gets all misty eyed when he talks about, so we may have missed each other!

Meh, whatever. I prefer to hunt alone, anyway.

I lost my best friend to complications from Lung Cancer the day after Christmas in 2011. He was one of the best men I have ever known. He was a great and dedicated family man, a hard and conscientious worker, and possessed a quiet strength about him that was something to behold. He taught me so much about life. He helped me to make peace with my relationship with God, and to understand so many other things. I miss Mike every day, but it now is more of a comforting feeling and I feel honored to have known him.

It looked like he was a goner in 2009. He was clotting and could not even begin chemo when we discovered what was wrong with him. He shrunk down from 175 pounds to 140 in almost no time. It broke my heart to see him, but I went every day so I would not regret it when he was gone. His saint of a wife searched day and night for alternative treatments and found this experimental drug doing trials in New York. Sure enough she got him qualified and took him to start the treatments. Miraculously, his tumors shrunk, and he returned to his old self in a few months. His wife's efforts bought us two more years with him. It was the greatest gift I have ever gotten, and I will never be able to repay her for it. Sadly, in the fall of 2011, the effectiveness of the treatments began to wane, and his health quickly deteriorated.

All he wanted to do was see Christmas that year, and like the warrior that he was he ground on and made it (I am sure more for us than himself-he knew where he was headed when he left). The day after Xmas he got up to go to the bathroom, felt dizzy when he got to the door, called to his wife and collapsed. He had viral meningitis and that is ultimately truly what killed him. Cancer could not make him another notch in it's bedpost in the end, at least.

LOL - that's me on the left and the middle all at once. Just finished for the day and it's 11 pm. Audits. Hate audits - there's 6 auditors in the team with wish-lists and "want to do it a different way" and "would like to see the original letter/ticket purchase form/donation letter for these items [presents me with a very very long list].......and 1 of me. four of them are working fulltime in our conference room with 2 computers each. You can figure the rest

I sure wish that for profit corporations and GOVERNMENT underwent this amount of detail. Sheesh.

You work for a not for profit organization? I went through 2 audits for a Quaker organization. My first one..... I had just started the job and had to find everything. The person that I replaced was NOT organized :blink: At least they used the same auditing company every year and basically asked for the same things each year. All financials and contracts etc... The next time I went through it, I already had most of what they needed in binders.

Ugh! And then you still have regular work on top of all that.

I cannot like this post yet it deserves acknowledgement. Truly a warrior.

Slim and Edd, you both deserve praise for standing with your friends as they battled yet ultimately lost. :cry:

I feel your pain Lion, our stories are pretty damn similar right down to the name. Sounds like your Mike was a great guy also. Sorry for your loss brother

Thanks Robin, that means a lot. :)

I'm not an emotional person at all. I've become numb to a lot of things over the years. Last night I shed a tear for the first time in 8 years (Mikey's funeral) my gf has never seen me emotional and it scared the hell out of her, she thought something had just happened.

I'm really thankfull for all of you guys in this thread. I think I've had a lot of things just buried away. The chat with bronze really helped me and got me thinking about things and sort of removed the numbness that that I've had for so long. Thanks Army I appreciate every one of you :) and another huge thank you to the General, our talk meant more to me than even I knew.
After I logged off for the night I spent the next few hours going through a bunch of pictures and remembering a bunch of great times we had that I seemingly forgot about. Thank you my friend :)

I'm an expert at going numb. I'm so good at it I have it wired up to a toggle switch. Know what you're talking about Slim.

But enough of that...enjoy your day and have a few laughs. :laugh:

Lol I have that switch when it comes to the gf :)

Good morning everyone.

Hey Mr. Bronze, I tried to order all the flavors you suggested from QnJ, but when I was about to check out I noticed they didn't have PR in the list of provinces/States. :( That's a shame, since I had chosen 8 samples (your 5 picks plus 3 of mine) and was already pumped up about it.

I emailed them about this and got no reply. I called them yesterday, left my phone number but was never called back. :mad: I've encountered this same issue with a couple of vendors in the past (Ahlusion, MOV, NLV) and they simply added PR to the list, no problem at all. Part of me is dying to try these QnJ juices, the other part is saying screw these guys. What do you think? Should I call/email them again and say The Bronze sent me? ;)
