Happy Monday, Snugs.
Thanks for the update on your Dad.
It sounds like good news; hopefully they will find the cause of his over stimulation.

I will continue to pray for him and for you.
Take care of yourself and get the rest you need.

Hugs.

[Prayers for your buddy. Has there been a biopsy or will this be it.]

They will be removed Friday and then biopsied. Not much skin over the chest area so it concerns me. Thanks so much for writing L.J. and I will let you know when I do.

Well, it's not a mid-life crisis, but here's how things worked out for me this past week.

Married 48 years, took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 48 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 22 year old blond.

Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 70 year old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 22 year old blond, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed...
