There is no good time to tell bad news
I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I had the biopsy last week. Got the diagnosis today.
It is what it is. I smoked for so many years.
I have to have a Pet scan next week to see if it has spread. They do not think so. They think I am stage 1.
I belong to a program 'early detection lung cancer screening" a lost dose cat scan. It was found during that. Not there in Jan 2019 but there now.
Sorry to just blurt this out.

Bad news indeed. Just know that we are all pulling for you.:wub:

Great, you can come help! We’re only halfway through prep. He brought two garbage bags home from the camp :eek:. Really sweet, small turnips grown in the Mississippi flood plains
I only had five pounds to deal with; two garbage bags' worth would be a huge chore. I hope you're not bothering to peel them, at least.

Thanks. He actually escalated the Dispute. I responded that he’s trying to get money that he never paid. What a scam.
PayPal must be able to see that the money never made it to your account, right? How can he hope they'll rule in his favor? (I know, I know: he's just hoping he can scare you into caving. The man is nothing but a bully, and a cocky one, to boot.)

Morning all. I've been on the road with my son on the way to the Tamworth Country Music festival. Saw a couple of great gigs last night and drank way too much beer. More of the same today and catching up with lots of old friends and colleagues. Drove through 40°C temps , thunder and dust storms yesterday. Luxotic, Vinci X and orion fellow travellers.
I read this morning that the fires are causing all kinds of weird weather. Great: they encourage thunderstorms, which then can lead to more fires.

THAT would be a job for the one who brought them home! He peels, I dice, blanch, shock and measure them out for him to vacuum pack. It’s quite the assembly line lol. Fill the bowl, work through it, start with another bowl.....
Hmmmm......wonder if I could get him to help clean and rebuild tanks :lol:?

You really don't need to peel them, though; the peels are even less noticeable than potato skins. But maybe you're planning to use them in smooth purées.

I pay very little attention to those likes, loves etc. I do give them but rarely check them. I probably would not notice if someone gave me an X and if I did notice I would think it was their right to disagree.

    I'm just going to blurt out my thoughts :wub:

    Sweetie, I am absolutely heartbroken that you have to go through this. If ever there was someone who has stacked up good karma points - it is you. You got the one diagnosis that we are all scared ....less about - and it's not fair that awesome, special people like yourself (and Charlie) have to deal with this horrible disease.

    I am thinking of you and your daughter - and I have everything crossed - including my eyes ;) that it has been caught early enough :wub:

    Completely forgot I ordered it in a kit, so I can't wait to build the Tobhino RDA. I haven't tried the mod out yet, as I want to silicone seal the pin first.

    I freaking love the firey resin colours :wub:

    want to silicone seal the pin first.
    Which pin exactly Ange? I read fleetingly about it somewhere. I checked mine yesterday for liquid but it was clean.
    Thinking about it, it can only be the inside top of the squonk pin. You just seal that off with silicone ?
    Oh I love the colour of the mod.

    The entire thing is ridiculous. I guess the only good thing is that I can’t use PayPal right now for my night time shopping sprees lol!!

    This sucks, I am sorry.
    We all, as former smokers, have this hanging over our heads.
    I see there wasn't anything in 2019 - I think this is really good - very early detection !
    Survival rates are improving every year.
    YOU WILL BEAT THIS !
