 Congratulations for not only surviving, but thriving!  Your "unsinkable Mollie Brown" outlook cheers up all of us.  Here's hoping that the last few remaining  "souvenirs" of your surgeries soon fade into oblivion!

Love the pirate penguins  :D :D

Congrats to you!!!!  We've got lots of milestones to celebrate with much gusto!!!!!!  8 years is a doozey and I'll just bet you're celebratin' in style.  Although I don't post a lot, I have looked to you through this forum to keep me smiling many many times - and you are always demonstrating to me that things can be downright crappy...and yet there are still ways to snicker.

Love to you!

Even with all those headaches you've never lost that great sense of humor. Now that's inspiration! Sure you're out of your mind a little but what pirate isn't, right? I'm sorry to say I can't remember the pirate name you gave me a long time ago but I did have brain surgery so I'm excused. :) Here's to another (tumor free) eight years and hopefully no more headaches.
