In an earlier post I listed several questions my daughter had for an anthropology assignment. Here is the result of the answers for those who participated. I found it quite interesting. My daughter wanted me to pass along her thanks.

I can float people off the rear pews when I play it in church.

Old Fender M80 head running thru a refrigerator size Peavey cab with a 15" and two 10's.

I saw this baby in a pawn shop the other day with the ridiculously low price of $189.00 on the tag. I figured someone put the tag on the wrong instrument. I knew it to be a new Ibanez Premium Series bass that retails for $1249.00. I ran back home and got a bass I paid $100 for at a yard sale...

lemme outa here!!! It stinks in here!!!

This is my last post concerning this matter. I already feel as if I never had a 16th and 17th surgery. Abdominal pain is almost non existent and I'm functioning totally normally. Almost feel as if I'm suffering PTSD from having those vile leaking fistulas on my belly - it was a gross time to be...

I just dug the old Roland out of the garage and am trying to set it up again to cut with CorelDraw. I have it hooked up exactly the same as before. If I recall correctly, there were some port settings I might need to change. So far it isn't communicating with the computer and won't do a test...

As one who has recently been on the receiving end of these well wishes, I can't stress enough how much it means to the afflicted. To know sooo many people outside your local sphere of friends/family are thinking about you is powerful medicine. Al, I don't know you but have a real damn good idea...

Add me to the list of well wishers for the bestest most awesomest forum owner on the internet!

Same here bro. Next time we're together I hope we have the time to break out some brushes and have some fun kickin' it old school.

This time a week ago I was back in the hospital. I had gotten home at around 5pm the day before and was thinking the events of surgery #17 were behind me now. At a little after 1am I began vomiting violently and had excruciating abdominal pain. I immediately knew I had an intestinal blockage...

As it turns out, the plans to eat an entire bottle of narcotics have been permanently scrapped. Surgery #17, while the most complex of all of them, has had the most remarkable outcome and fastest recovery I've ever experienced. The day after the surgery, my wife commented that I've never looked...

Uhh... I dunno what that is, but it sounds erotic. Therefore, I'm ALL IN!!!

Two days after surgery and no fistula development so far. This specialist Surgeon cut out remnants of all prior scars, which was essentially A two inch tummy tuck. It's funny but I am recovering from this major Wallop faster than any previous recoveries. Only complaint is inadequate Pain med...

Thanks bob, I knew I could count on you my friend. A life without food is as marginalized as you can get IMO. With every surgery on my guts I've had I've feared waking up with a colostomy. What I have now is as similar as it can get - a bag of intestinal bile hanging off my belly - for over a...

"Thou almost persuadest me"... (haha, tell me the circumstances of that quote for extra points). Well put sentiments my friend. None of them , however, address the quality of life in an eating culture where you are forever forbidden from partaking. I had seven months without so much as a...

Thanks Doug - that's awesome and I'm already feeling the goodwill. I can't stress enough the trepidation I'm feeling facing this surgery. It WILL be the last one (finally) and the rest of my life hangs on its outcome. I don't want to check out, but I WILL NOT live a life entirely devoid of food...

Since I got out of a six month hospital stay in December of last year, the two fistulas on my belly I was left with have opened up more than ten times. The skin excoriation from intestinal bile (hydrochloric acid) is always making a quarter size crater next to my belly button that burns like all...

They are ABSOLUTELY terrific for a fact. I don't remember ever enjoying house guests more. My wife (fortunately) feels the same. She said it was a lot of fun having them here. Dave said the highlight of his trip was a little incident that happened at Billy Bob's Texas (worlds largest honky...
