SIDEBAR #50 - Arias/Alexander forum

[GigiG]

My friend, Beau Biden has died of brain cancer. I am devastated. Beau is Joe and Jill Biden's oldest son. He has two little kids, Natalie and Hunter and a lovely wife, Hallie. I can still see him at 20, coming home from Penn and hugging his mother while we watched Ashley play field hockey. Very very sad.

Very sad. He seemed like such a nice young man. Please accept my condolences, Zuri.

I find Obama's words eloquent and comforting. I hope you do, too:

May 30, 2015 - Yippie, there is a ring around the moon..... again. I sat outside from about two until after four this morning. It was a nice and cool, then you felt the wind and the humidity increased and about fifteen minutes later it started lightening. It was pouring rain after that. Rained for several hours this morning. We did get the front yard mowed last night. Now I'm wondering how many shots of Centenario dh had with the lawnguy. It's mowed in a different pattern that I've never seen before. Not round, more like oval. And we still have standing water everywhere.

Its. So strange watching James Holmes trial--the pros. & defense seem so cordial to each other. They even joke and tease!--such a difference!

Real professionals.

I am so sorry, Zuri. Such a young man, filled with a promising future, and a good father/husband/son.
My condolences, sweet Zuri. :hug:

I am sorry Zuri. I read this on the news. He was so young.

Dear Zuri, I didn't know the Bidens of course but I think highly of Joe Biden and family. I am
so sad to hear Beau has passed. God was with Joe . I don't know how he kept up with Country with his son so ill. That's not entirely true. Amazing what you can do when you must. You muster
strength you didn't know you had. I wish I had a way to tell him how much I care. I wondered a few times
why Joe isn't running for President. I now know..I'm just so sorry..Take care Zuri (((Hugs))).:loveyou:

Doctor with cancer raises alarm about medical device

"...Reed's cancer was found after an operation to remove uterine fibroid tumors. Surgeons used a device called a power morcellator to shred the fibroid tissue so it could be easily removed through a small incision. But the shredding ended up inadvertently spreading cancer that hadn't been detected...."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/doctor-with-cancer-morcellator-medical-device/?ftag=YHF4eb9d17

I had fibroid tumors removed, but my MD cut an opening just like a ceasarian opening because my tumors were too big for the small incision one.
Gotta be so careful these days, but how would you know?

Fact about Nuts

Packed full of protein, nuts are a delicious, nutritious snack. Portable and not too messy, they fit in your pockets. Nuts are grown all over the world and come in many varieties. Here are ten interesting facts about nuts.

Fact 1: A nut is a dry seed that grows inside a woody shell.

Fact 2: There are a lot of so-called nuts that aren’t nuts, for instance coconuts and peanuts. A peanut is actually a pea. People allergic to peanuts may not be allergic to nuts.

Fact 3: Walnuts have been known to man for over 9000 years. Walnuts have long been associated with royalty. In ancient Rome they were known as ‘œJupiter’s Royal Acorns,’ and in Persia they were reserved for royalty. English Walnuts came from Persia.

Fact 4: Pistachios have been eaten by humans for almost as long as Walnuts. In China they are known as the Smiling nut, because of the way the shell partly opens.

Fact 5: Pine nuts have also been around for a very long time. Roman legionnaires carried pine nuts as provisions.
Fact 6: Although almonds originated in China, nowadays 80% of the world’s almond supply comes from California.

Fact 7: Pecans have been a snack food for a long time. George Washington was known to carry them in his pockets in case he was hungry.

Fact 8: The Macadamia nut originates in Australia and was known to the aborigines as Kindal Kindal. When it was first discovered by Europeans it was grown for ornamentation purposes only.

Fact 9: The Macadamia nut was named for John McAdam, the Scottish chemist who first cultivated it.

Fact 10: Black walnuts, which are common to the Eastern and Central United States, are harvested from wild trees.

Has anyone been following the Duggar fiasco?
So wrong on so many levels............

 

[Niner]

Hey everyone!

here's the latest update on my bro, from his girlfriend as related by my sister:

We just got a nice call from Terre.
Apparently, the surgery that was scheduled for yesterday, an endoscopy, did not take place until today. Jr. just came out of surgery, and Terre talked by telephone with one of the doctors who was in Jr.'s room at the time. Jr. couldn't speak, but the dr. said he gave a thumbs up in response to one of Terre's questions.
They had concerns about some heart murmurs, but after Terre advised them that he was physically active, they went along with the procedure and they had no problems.
The dr. said he has a very serious situation, including three large tumors in his liver.
He did not have to be transferred to the ICU, which is good. But in the near future, he will be transferred to the Cancer Center. Apparently, the endoscopy was just diagnostic. They were able to stop the bleeding without surgery. But they were not yet able to do a biopsy.
It sounds like he is stable right now.
Terre seemed happy to talk to Monik as someone who has gone through this type of experience. She said she will continue to keep us advised and is appreciative that we are in turn communicating the information to you all.
We told her we understand how difficult this is for her, as well as Jr., and we appreciate her updates.
That's all we can remember from the conversation.
We'll let you know if we hear anything new. Please do the same.
Appreciate every day.

three large tumors in his liver... :gaah: Hopefully, they'll do a biopsy soon! So you good thoughts and prayers are appreciated! :luv:


So, I'm here just watching tennis and reading my threads... nline:
