This is to let everyone know you put us over the top on getting expenses caught up and we don't need anymore donations. I owe a debt of gratitude to my Signs101 family for your generosity on my family's behalf. Those of you who commented about all I've been through with a six month hospital stay...

As usual - Jilly knocked it out of the park

I have the same plotter. It would never function until I hooked it up to the parallel port with a null modem. Good luck finding one of those. I just happened to know an IT guy who had one laying around.

I went with my brother in law yesterday to help him arrange for my sister's memorial service. I was overwhelmed by what it costs to bury someone nowadays. He dropped over 11 grand for their "medium range" funeral. Fortunately, he had adequate insurance to pay for it. I long ago decided to be...

Starting out with a hot dog smothered in jalapenos is actually good for you (well not so much the hot dogs). Jalapenos, however, actually aid digestion, and unfortunately, elimination. I felt like I was crapping a chain saw blade with my first real dump in 6 months.

Thank you sincerely. I haven't seen you before, but I appreciate your concern. As far as I'm concerned, my sister received the ultimate healing yesterday. My son wrote this shortly after his aunt's passing:"The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity". I envy you for where...

"weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"

That is some advice I wish a few people on here would heed.

We spent most of last night keeping a vigil at my only baby sister's hospital bedside. She needed surgery to replace a nearly non functioning heart valve, an outcome of congestive heart failure. First though, they had to take her gall bladder out. The first attempt ended with them having to...

Something I dreamed up after about 3 months in a hospital bed with no food, just IV nutrition. It was a hot dog with a slice of bacon on each side of it, sliced jalapenos, relish and mustard. Talk about a HOT dog!

My worried wife's nerves are finally settled as she will soon get to sit down at the computer and get many expenses caught up in full due to the generosity of Signs101. First off, I owe Colin a debt of gratitude for suggesting it. That was amazing to me since he is the only member here I've ever...

Jilly don't worry - I, as others on here, are certain you have NO COMPETITION in your neck o' the woods.

Going Nuclear I have a nuclear radiation test this morning at 11 to see the extent to which the fistulas have invaded my bowels. Gotta drink about a gallon of revolting barium heavy metal shake and go under the fluoroscope. They need to determine how much bowel I can spare if they do a...

Thanks for the laughing fit this comment gave me this morning - I need all the levity I can get! When the ex bitches you out tell her a genuinely nice guy superceeded her need for the money haha.

Guess I owe you some undying gratitude. Any amount of money right now will go a long way towards helping us catch up on finances. Just got a bill the other day from an infectious disease specialist for $1300.00. I never had an infection so his services were never required. He charged me $130 per...

I don't think so. It was Fred who made the offer via PM.

Look son, I'm sure you had to tell a few fibs to get registered here. You were raised better than that! But you being who you are, I'm not surprised you did this. You have a big heart to match your physical size. Your mom cried when I showed her your post. I appreciate your gratitude on my...

I hear ya Marlene. When I came down with massive internal bleeding from a ruptured birth defect in my small intestine years ago that was my first surgery. I nearly died from the blood loss. At that time, we had been in our new house lesss than a year. I had a hand in designing it. I even erected...

I feel an update is in order since Fred is making this very generous effort on my behalf. I went to Dallas yesterday to see a fistula specialist surgeon. He didn't give me good news. He said he wants to wait at least a year before attempting a 17th surgery so close to numbers 15 & 16 which were...

Fred posted a link a few years ago to a desktop timer you can put your hourly rate into and let the customer see the meter running. Wondering if he still knows what that is and where to find it? <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy"...
