well, folks.. we have now, once again, broken the brunch headcount record... now, we have..... 28!  :o  :o  :o

Phyl

Wow! 28 people attending!  For a tumor that's supposed to be rare, that's a whole lotta folks who have 'em.  I can't wait to meet everyone and I'm happy that there is an upside to having a tumor in my head.  Another excuse for Brunch!!!!

Look forward to seeing everyone.

I was just thinking that perhaps I could bring the journal down for anyone interested in adding a photo and write-up.  There don't seem to be any surgeries next week, and Lauralynn received the scarf on Saturday, so I can ship the journal to her on Monday for Wednesday arrival.
What do you think?

Nancy,
 
I think that would be a great idea!  But you have to find a way to add to the journal pics I posted.
 
Hey moderators (yeah, I'm talkin to YOU!)  Is it possible to have a post that anyone can edit/add to?  Not a thread, but a post so we can keep all the journal pages together.
 
I know, I'm a trouble maker and stirring the pot again.

Wondering also how one edits his/her own post?  I've seen that several times here, not just you moderator types getting in through the backdoor.

Ernie, you might want to watch that or Lori will accuse you of being a little too in touch with your feminine side again  :D

Answer to Nancy -  after you post something, you can use the "modify" button to edit it - and then you just save it again.

Sorry for the double hijack, Phyl.

Ernie - oh wait, Jan  ;D

Waaaaaaa!  Well, tell him Dave will have his uilleann pipes in the car along with flute and whistle, maybe even my fiddle, for his gig at a pub in NH on our way home after the brunch and can be begged to perform if anyone doesn't mind the sound of Irish pipes (not Scottish warpipes, don't worry).   So, it's his loss!
Phooey, really hope to meet him.

Ok, any other regrets? Does everyone know where they are going and when?

Phyl ~

All set.  We know the way and will be there by noon this Sunday (19th).  Hope I don't get lost in the crowd. :)  See you there!

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.
