I Want To Thank Nearly Everyone Here

[red states rule]

As most of you know, I have been off the board for awhile, and I have got many PM's from folks asking how I am

After a long talk with a close friend, it dawned on me what a wonderful group of people (for the most part) the members are here at DP

I have been in severe pain for many months, and so far the doctors can't determine why. I have had CAT scans, X rays, blood work, and have been of multiple meds. My energy level is low, and I am getting fustrated over the constant pain

Then I posted here yesterday and got the PM's from people I have never met asking how I was doing. It made me realize how lucky I am to be in the thoughts of so many. So if the worst case happens, I want to take the time to thank all of you

It is amazing how one life touches the lives of so many other people. How the actions of one person has a ripple effect. The PM's cheered me up, and let me know I am not alone in my battle

99% of the folks here have offered me their support and prayers (everyone except for our resident preacher and handful of others) and it does mean alot to me. To often we do not express our true feelings to the people in our lives, and I do not want to make that mistake

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and support. I will be seeing the Doctor in about 10 days, and if nothing is determined I will get another opinion on Dec 9th

[Abbey Marie]

Most people on here are really nice, regardless of politics. Ignore the few bad apples. You know you are always in my prayers, Red. The doctors WILL find the reason, and it will be relatively easy to fix.

[5stringJeff]

Glad to see you around again RSR.

I am here for now Jeff, and having fun. Which is what it is all about

Abbey and I, we keep saying the same. We want the one who says they wish him well, in a less than actual way to stop responding to RSR. From what I can tell it's only one and that negative energy we do not need. In reality, meaning 'real life' he needs no fakes. MFM, you are a fake of the nth degree. Even you should know better than to pretend to pray/wish well someone you've wished harm upon.

I pray for you, RSR morning and evening, along with quite a few others. Joan, you're always included.

Some that I pray for shouldn't be listed, though not for 'bad' reasons, simply don't need all of us knowing about them. Please if you are inclined, add them to the 'others' batch. ;) God knows who they are.

RSR, YOU ARE GOING TO GET BETTER! Got to find the right docs at the right place.

[crin63]

Keep us posted as things progress please so we know how you are doing. If new meds work or not and those kind of things. I think we really want to know. Its not just idle chat.

I'm praying for you as well.

Thank you for your prayers

You know it! I know it! Now kick those MD's butts! ;)

[Immanuel]

Hey, I didn't pm ya this time, but the moment I saw you posting I said hello and I was glad to see you. Hope you didn't take my lack of pm'ing ya this time as a "I don't care".

You are in my thoughts and prayers, RSR, and I had been thinking about you when I realized you had been gone for almost a week. I figured the election had just worn ya out.

Stay strong and above all keep the faith, my friend.

I will hang in there. The last thing I nwant is to have a bunch of DP members giving me a severe attitude adjustment

I had no idea man - I sure hope ya pull thru okay!

Fyi.. a gal we knew a few years ago had a similar situation - in chronic pain, low energy etc... same thing, x-rays, cat scans etc..

turned out to be lyme disease.. if you haven't asked about that (or they haven't tested for it) - I'd highly suggest it.. :)

[red states rule]

stay alive, RSR...this site would not be anywhere near as maddening without YOU, big guy ;)

Why thank you Virgil. In the same spirit let me say this. Based on your picture, you need to lose alot of weight (you have more chins then a Chinese phonebook, and you are not allowed on elevators due to the weight limit) and based on the issues you have with your ticker - you need to lose the weight

I am willing to help you in the gym, help you push yourself, encourage you to do that extra mile on the treadmill, and give to dietary tips

If anything would happen to you Virgil, I am sure many would agree, the board would not be the same without you

As I said Immie, my offer to Virgil is in the same sprit as his get well wishes to me

Also, I can give Virg the name of a great contractor. He does good work at a fair price. I understand Virgil has to replace his bathtub since his current one has stretch marks

Don't you think it might "pluck his nerves" even more if you were actually nice? :lol: Ever hear that old philosophy about how to piss off your enemy the most... be nice.

Give it a try. You might enjoy it. :laugh2:

I am being nice. I am offering my help to him to drop the weight so he no longer has to go to truck weight stations to get weighed

I thought we were still on topic?

Also, I didn't say that it was not in the same spirit. I've tried this with MFM and I will try again... with much the same result I must add. Now, where is that smilie that its banging his head against that wall?

gosh...in that case, maybe I should stay away from here for a while. I actually think spite really is bad for you, RSR... you need to forgive.

My stress level is fine Hull. Thanks for your concern

I find it hard to believe the preacher man has heart issues - I thought you had to have one before you had problems with it. If he spent more time walking and working out he would ease the stress on his heart and lower his food bill

Actually this probably is good for you. Something to keep your mind busy instead of worrying. But if mfm is obese, and he admittedly gets upset because of things said here, maybe it's not such a good idea for him.

I am hardly obese, hull. I weigh only 20 lbs more than I did when the avatar picture was taken 26 years ago.

And I used to get really upset at RSR...but now, I don't. I used to get upset at stephanie, but now, I just return her insults with insults... it's kind of a game. I used to get upset with yurt, but now I just laugh at him. I really am pretty mellow, all things considered!

It wasn't meant as an insult yurt. It was a statement of how I try to deal with the people that tend to make me angry. I try to laugh at you and not take you too seriously. It works.
