FNC Alert: Fred Thompson announces he has lymphoma.
This is horrible for him; my prayers for a full recovery.
Oh, no. I pray that the improved treatment for this dreaded form of cancer will cure him. (My husband died w/lymphoma, but some patients do survive it.)
I gather than Thompson has known about this for years and has been in remission for some period of time. He was interviewed by Neil Cavuto and that interview will be shown later today.
So.....it is not a reoccurance but a condition that is under control? I pray that is the case.
Yes, it’s been three years, it’s in remission, and he says he expects to live a long time.
I think the media uses any kind of racial “slur” as a means of dividing this country. I heard some sofa company put a tag on their sofas that has put some blacks in an uproar. What it is, I don’t know. I also think there are a lot of people, not only those of the minority group, who are on a constant lookout for something to get ticked off about. But I blame the media for keeping this racial (black) thingy going.
Good Morning. I left my coat at home on Monday when I returned to DM for the week.
There’s a blizzard out there this morning. It’s slush falling from the sky. The roads are a real mess.
Bad news about Fred Thompson. If it’s in remission, I’m wondering if he’s not getting this information out there before he announces in order to let the public digest this. I can see the RATS using his health against him, but given that he’s been working for the past 3 years, it would seem he is well able to manage his illness.
This medical condition might also explain his previous retirement from the U.S. Senate.
Going into lurking mode.
I couldn’t quite tell, Carolinamom. I think it’s a condition that’s under control.
Lots of out-of-town errands with my husband today; bbl.
Yes, I'll bet that's true. No doubt the media will make a big deal of this in hopes of sinking his possible run for POTUS.
You needed a new coat, anyway?
I am pretty much ignoring ALL the stories on the candidates and will wait until I can see some of them in the debates before I make any sort of judgement at all. And even then I will probably remain on the sidelines.
I am tired of the press yanking our chains, and I refuse to play their game.
I bought 2 new spring coats last year. There was/is no way I can make a practical decision to purchase another one.
I am toughing it out. Fiscal Conservative that I am.
I will not leave home without my coat again until the 4th of July.
I am fast becoming like you, some ‘not expecteds’ are going come out....
Thank you for the links to some great articles again, Molly.
It’s snowing again in central MN. Forecast is for warming this weekend so hopefully we’ll see the last of this winter weather. I looked at my calendar for last year and noted I planted potatoes, radishes and lettuce on April 13th. Dont’ think that will happen this year.
Did you go to the dr.?
Your planting schedule...how far behind last years date, MN, do you think it'll be? 2 weeks?
The daffodils in the neighborhood are a little droopy, but otherwise don't look to bad. The earliest tuplips: No sign of them...I have a few blooms on my candytuft, and that may be it...
How're you today, lysie?
Now I've got the short book Calvin Trillin wrote about his wife Alice: "About Alice"....it's supposed to be good, but trouble is: he's a terrible Bush hater...so I guess I'll hold my nose...Interestingly, Alice died of heart failure on Sept 11 in a NY hospital.
Another book I'm reading is: The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett.
It's very fine...short portraits of a land - coastal Maine - and its people at the end of the 1800s. There is much that is human and lovely about the author's descriptions. Anyone interested especially in Maine should read the book.
Maine...love it. In fact, Greg is thinking of retiring there. Lobster, dontcha, know! :-)
oh yes! We were there briefly the summer of’74. I’d love to go back. Do you like it?? I have a friend who went there regularly for years to a reunion...now she doesn’t get there much and she misses it.
Oh! You do like it! I misread, and thought you were only referring to G.! Rain has started...not ****, but rain...
