 ;D Hi Phyl and all,   ;D

Phyl you are definitely the "silly" glue that keeps us all together...that piece of the puzzle that completes the whole picture for us... and although I've only needed to call you once or so I know you will always be available if I need to talk... and you so richly deserve the Volunteer Achievement Award you received at the last ANA symposium!!  :-*

Thanks also to all the other great people on this site who share of themselves with their time by posting replies as those are invaluable to us all as well!!!  ;)

Looking forward to our Spring Brunch... My next MRI is April so I hope to have conntinued good news to share... (new grandchild as well coming)....

Love, Mary (aka Grammy Mary)   :o

GrammyMary.. congrats! #2 forthcoming! Wonderful news!  :-*


Ok, all... you still haven't harrassed me for posting too much... I thank you for the nice words... truly.  Trying to figure out what mischief I can do (allowable in Mod-mode) for my 7000th ;)  Jan's gonna beat me to it anyway.... will see what she does.

thanks again all... very much!

Heck, I'm still inching towards 1000.  You ladies have me whipped for sure.  I'll still throw my own celebration at 1000, though.  Who's with me?  :)

Brian ~

Don't be concerned with comparing your post-count to other folks.  No matter what you may accomplish, even reaching a substantial post-count here, there is usually someone who will be ahead of you in some way.  So what?  Achieving 1,000 posts would demonstrate a real dedication to the ANA forums on your part - and I would certainly celebrate it with you, along with many others, including Jan and Phyl, I'm sure.  :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Brian - and Phyl - it's not a race  ::)

I'm just so happy that all of us contribute - and I hope (speaking for myself here - not you guys) that someone takes something away from at least a few of my posts.

I think it's very important for us "oldies" to keep posting so that the newbies can share in our experiences - and also be motivated to become "oldies" themselves.

Giving back is a wonderful thing; we all need to keep the cycle going.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Oh, I know its not a race and this thread took a direction I wasn't expecting.... initial thought was that you all would be busting me for "posting" too much as I have nothing better to do with my time except for chasing users around here... or that I need a life.  No race... and Jan is correct... we post in the hopes that others can take something away from it, nothing more.

Post on folks. Your experiences and knowledge are so very helpful to others that may just be starting this "journey" and what we can share may be invaluable to others.

Oh yeah!  Well, my post count is bigger.. wait.. Not a race.  Not a competition.  Heh..

I get that it's not a race..  I didn't mean to imply that it was.  I'm glad that there are those people who stick around and contribute for those that are newly diagnosed and bewildered.  I was there once.  Now, I choose to come back as I can and offer whatever advice I can to help.  I'm glad there are Jim, Jan, Phyl and others that do the same..  It helps to make the knowledge continue on.

I'm still throwing a party at 1,000 posts tho..  Heh.  :)

And we'll party right along with you  ;D

I'd offer to have Steve knit you a hat in honor of this milestone, but you already have one.

We'll have to think of something else  ;)

Well, if Phyl lets us in, it's only fair to let her party with us.

Just don't bring the bull whip, Phyl  ;)
