Bill, I have a friend in North Bay, we talk almost every night for about two to three hours, except on Wednesday, when he plays cards during the Fall and Winter. He is now going through radiation treatments for the Big "C". He was in the Canadian Air Force, in the 60-70's. I just thought I would mention that, I guess because he is on my mind and in my heart. He is a GREAT GUY, and one of my closes friends for the last twelve years.

Johnny,
Heres hoping your friend makes a full recovery and beats the big C.....its a terrible disease and as we get older there seems to be more and more people striken by it.

I lost an older brother to it last year but he did manage to get a 2 year reprieve with treatment.

Regards + HH

Bill

First thank you all.

Oregon, I think that you have found God's Country. That is a beautiful place.

TGF, I also have it, but I have to live with it. Two younger brothers died with it and it was not a the way I want to go. One served four tours the other two, in Vietnam. I am ready to go.

Perimeter checked, over and out.

TGF, I will pray for your family. As for the road trip, I will have to take a rain check and only dream about it. Good luck with the court.

Joke of the day --Priest - Don't drink too much liquor. You will go to Hell.
Alcoholic - Will I? What about the guy who sells the liquor?
Priest - He will also go to Hell.
Alcoholic - Ok, what about the guy who sells pork tacos in the food truck outside the Liquor Store?
Priest - He too will go to Hell.
Alcoholic - In that case, I have no problem going to Hell.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

2GF,

I'm not familiar with family law least of all in Florida.....for what it's worth since you and your wife have been the primary caregivers to the Grandkids you can always plead abandonment on the part of the negligent parent/parents......just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Here's a link for laws pertaining to child abandonment in Florida.

Good luck.

Rather then bend your ear telling you stores about me life, I started writing a book, "Tales of a Dead Soldier".


From Chapter One: The Hospital Years


By the time I arrived at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas I had been in three hospitals and had my first dozen surgeries. I arrived in a full body cast and a long arm cast. I was taken to Brook General Hospital, Beach Pavilion, 4th floor. This is where I would spend most of the next years.


I was taken to ward 43A, the amputee ward, and the full body cast was removed and I was placed in traction. By the time they finished the only parts of my body not in traction were my head and right leg. A few weeks later, after they decided not to cut off anymore parts. I was moved to 43B, and my bed was the second closes to the Nurses Station. I had been on the ward for about a week and taken to the Cast Room for a new long arm cast. While I was gone, the head nurse of 43B, a male Captain, reported me AWOL. This started an almost constant battle between us.


I was later moved around the corner from the Nurses Station, out of his sight. My right hand was still in bandages and if I wanted to smoke I would ring the buzzer with my right knee and an orderly would come over. If he or she had time they would light the cigarette, I would take a few puffs and they would leave. One day everyone was busy any I poked my thumb and right ring finger out of the bandages. I grabbed my cigarette pack and shook out one cigarette, put in my mouth, picked up my lighter and lit it. I closed the lighted and put my flaming bandages out by beating them on the upper part of my cast. One day the Captain saw this and reported it the the main head nurse, a female full Colonel. Her reply was, "It is his hand".

Note: Later several of us would leave the hospital in our pajamas and go drink all day at Lone Star and Pearl breweries, switching each day because they would not let us drink for free two days in a roe. The Captain never said a word.
