Thank you Cindie.
This has been my perspective all along. I lost my wife of 35 years 27 months ago to cancer. Nothing Andy has done to combat his 'pancreatic cancer' has made one bit of sense to me. That is why I believe that if he does have pancreatic cancer, it has only been diagnosed now, not when they started shilling for the money.
Read some of the threads about this situation over there and the circumstances under which some of those people gave, it's heartbreaking how deep some of the them dug so they could send money to "save Andy's life". Quite a few could have used that money for their own medical treatment. I don't care what their politics are, no one deserves to be taken advantage of in that way. Cancer has or will affect just about everyone, either because of a loved one or themselves...it has touched my life many times. It's deadly and scary and not something to take lightly or be used as a stick to beat money out of people who don't have it to give. I don't care what his privacy concerns are...he made his plight public...proof should be public as well.
This is what I have a problem with. You say it so well, just like everything you've said. I don't like any scam, especially a charity scam. Also the hypocrisy about socialized medicine sticks in my craw.
bookmark... gotta see about cookin supper
Got it, thanks...I've got so many tabs open now, what's one more...LOL!

Ronald Reagan. The greatest Pres in my lifetime.
Born under Truman.
OOPs I just realized what you were saying LOL
note correction thanks.
I'm so sorry for your loss, especially after so long together. My husband and I have been together 23 years and I hardly remember what it was like before we were married. When my grandfather died, my grandmother was sick, physically and emotionally, for a year. To this day, I don't think she's gotten used to the emptiness. This is the first time she's ever been alone. In some ways, its been a good thing...she trades those sappy harlequinn romances back and forth with her friends, goes all over town on the senior bus (she never learned to drive) and even sleeps in some mornings (8:00 is sleeping in to her). She really loves her independence, but she'd give it all up in a heartbeat to have Pa back. Letting go and getting on with your life is the hardest part...death is always hardest on the ones left behind.

Interesting post at CU by KentuckyDurby:
"....The latest one is 'the evidence' provided by mr pitiful.
I am almost certain that 'the evidence' provided a couple of weeks ago, after the super duper test done at Johns Hopkins, that said, and I paraphrase, 'No previous information on this patient' (not exact but close) but mr pitiful's evidence indicated that John (sic) Hopkins had diagnosed cancer in April.
Perhaps you might have that information in one of your timelines in the Dummie Funnies to verify that and the exact words..."
gardencatz, did you catch this?
Thank you muchly.
I thought this bore repeating since it's been my position all along about this mess. Too many inconsistencies such as belting out show tunes after major abdominal surgery, access to DU within 2 days of his surgery, and too many others too numerous too mention.
I know what major abdominal surgery makes you feel like and it isn't wanting to sing along with the bouncy ball or posting on the internet or talking on the phone. Jeez! You don't even want to breathe deeply even though they bug you too. You use a pillow in order to hold your guts in, at least that's what it feels like physically.
Pathologist report taking almost a week? I've never, ever seen that one before.
No interim treatment before surgery? There are all sorts of different medications that can be used before surgery to help prevent growth or spread.
It may be cancer but if it is, he may have signed his own death warrant by delaying surgery in order to go to Johns Hopkins.
Damn right! To do otherwise is restricting Scamdy's freedom of speech rights!!!!
Did Scamdy have any news from JH? The last I heard he was getting ready to post something over there and I guess the thread got pulled?
Or as we Postal Service workers say "UAA" - "Undeliverable As Addressed"....
I haven't checked the Western Union web-site lately, but the last time I checked, it still had no "status;" not delivered and signed for, not refused and not signed for, not not at that address.
I'm getting a little confused here.
You'd think that the Andyites, who were so good at breaking into the mail room in the middle of the night so as to retrieve a missing $50,000 "cashiers" check, would be anxious to break in again, to find that telegram.
After all, until that telegram is signed for, no one can be certain the patient is actually there.
It appears he posted something but it got pulled. According to Melissa the Mod, what he posted was ok, yet there was a "zinger" he put in the post that got it pulled. She has been saying he can re-post w/o that zinger. Now AndyScam has posted 4 questions that he asked JHH and is waiting for a third party(he has one) to get back to him in the morning. There are two active Andy threads going at once, one in Best/Worst of DU and one in the Thunderdome.
Is the B/W thread saying anything besides "You did too" and "I did not"?
What are you talking about? Link?
No, that is where the 4 questions are and Melissa's reason as to why the post was pulled. No fighting going on there. That thread will be locked at 10PM EDST.
Skinner removed the thread that he posted days ago? I'm sorry if I am confused....CU has given me a headache....again!
