Friends of Budge, Budge could use some support tonight.

I've gotten word tonight that our FRiend Budge could REALLY use some support. He is down and could REALLY use a lift.

He is one tough cookie but everyone needs a lift now and then.

Pain is an awful thing. But sometimes it can just wear you down.

We had a pretty good scare recently with Budge. Thankfully it turned out to be Kidney Stones. Taking care of the problem wasn't fun but at least Budge will be ok. But now he has pulled some rib cartilage some how or another and those things combined have just taken a toll.

So if you could all just give him a prayer and some encouragement, it would sure lift his spirits MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!!

Thanks and God Bless!!

"Thankfully" it turned out to be kidney stones?
Oh my ... that says a lot right there.

Dear Budge ... I'll light a candle for you today. Please know how much you're loved and that you're in my thoughts more often than you'd guess but especially now.


(Thanks for the heads-up, T'wit. Those look awfully familiar ... =)

thanks for the heads-up.

Trust all is well with you too.

I happen to be the grandson, son, brother and father of lawyers, all good men. It's that other 99% :-) :-)

A good afternoon under the blue sky, speaking up for the right and being with friends, old and new. A special evening, to honor those courageous congressmen who stood against the tides of corruption by the media and Clintonistas.

I'm GREAT!!! It's "great" to see your screen-name. Seeing your name is such a good feeling. You're such a great person and such a good friend to me and of course to Budge. :o)

Hope your doing well too FRiend!!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Send it to him NOW. His ribs can take it!! :o)

Prayers and hugs being sent your way.

Just thinking of Budge and the dress (askel15) you wore at the WH protest. Budge, nice guy. The dress, Grrrrrrrrrrr.

[Askel5]

Hey! How have you been?!

I too had fun remembering that weekend when I saw T'wit's shots ...

[Budge]

I know I have missed pinging everyone, so please accept my apologies.

Still have not passed the stone. Pain remains constant.

If what they say about the pain of large kidney stones - comparing it with childbirth - then all I can say is a special GOD BLESS WOMEN!

I have decided to check with my doctor and see if he will do the procedure before a week from Monday.

I'll let you all know.

God Bless you all for the continuing prayers!

You ol hard headed, devoted conservative and man among men you! You can know I will pray for your recovery (from the pain and the remnant stone and sprained rib cage area, for sure!) Men of your stature don't stay down too long. Love all you do, will be praying for your speedy recovery. HUGS!!!

[GulfWar1Vet]

All right Budge...keep hanging on!

[fml]

Get well soon Budge! Feel better!

[r9etb]

Have you considered doing a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson (body blows only, please)?

Seriously, FRiend -- take care of yourself. Praying that you can get through this quickly!

[MinuteGal]

Good morning, Budge. I'm so glad that those pics were posted. I was there too! Now I'm able to match your face with your name!

Those were the days, my friend. Hope we'll all be able to reprise them for the upcoming President Bush inauguration.

Praying you'll recover in a freeper minute, and be rarin' to go to all the campaign freeps ahead!

Hang in there Budge .. I gave birth 3 times and I'll admit I cried like a baby cause it hurt ... But I survived and so will you.

Still sending prayers for you {{{HUGS}}}

[spectre]

Ouch! I'd be camping out at the ER screaming "do something" you idiots!

Be well soon, dear Budge.

Warm regards, sw

[Alamo-Girl]

I continue to pray for you, Budge!

OUCH. I know several people who've had these and they say the same thing. Male equivalent of childbirth.

Lord be with Budge, ease his pain, and dissolve this stone so he can be healed!

AMEN!
