Cock-a-hula-f\*\*\*ing-HOOPS! It’s **aha**! I thought of you twice last week, funnily enough. The first time was when my SO was listening to some kind of compilation album that had Western Union on it. I said “That’s the Five Americans, isn’t it? One of them posts on the SDMB, so I sort of know him”. The second time was when I thought I’d shit my pants. Turned out it was just a fart with abandonment issues. You know, the kind that you can feel hanging about right next to the arse instead of dispersing. Enormous congratulations and WOOHOO on beating the cancer. ---

Hey, **aha** - I missed you too. Glad to hear that you’re doing ok after getting the big C. Make up some excuse to come down to Dallas soon, and we’ll have a mondo Dopefest! {{aha}} - take care, sweetie! ---

congrats on kickin cancer’s butt **aha**. Somehow I missed out on “Western Union” being yours. Course I happen to like the song and now got an even better reason to sing along at the top of my voice when I hear it. Partner’s gonna be so happy for that!😃 Welcome back! ---

Congratulations on both counts. I have had to deal with the fear that a relative of a cancer patient has and can only imagine how absolutely shit-dropping frightening it must be to hear the test results when they pertain to you. I hope the fear of the first test results were matched only by the releif when hearing the final results. Glad you’re back. > [@](#): > > don’t worry girls of the SD I still have my hair and am as handsome as ever Of course, most of the girls are wondering if your tongue still “works” ;)😉 say no more!

Hey ladies my tongue is working just fine ( thanks to radiation only as opposed to surgery) and bless you all for caring. But Let’s speak for a moment about something more serious. I just wanted to say that I was disappointed in my last thread a year ago when many many of you denied or just ingnored the fact that you had at one time or the other shit your pants. Maybe we can revive that thread and you guys could be more “forthcoming” so to speak. I know it would make a better person out of most of you if you only admitted it. Or maybe not.😛 buttons buttons so many buttons ---

aha! We’ve missed you! I’m so glad you’re well! I haven’t seen Vanilla Sky, because I figured it’d be a horrible movie, but I may just have to see it, since they played your song. ---

Great news about beating the beast! I had an idiot doctor jump the gun and use the “C” word in a diagnosis about 18 years back - scared the puddin’ outta me. Thankfully, he was wrong on so many levels! But I remember how I felt so I can imagine what you went thru. Very glad it all worked out! \ ---
