Cancer updates:
I hate writing them, but at the same time it is so therapeutic…sometimes it helps me realize I am worried about nothing, other times it prompts me to see my oncologist.
I didn’t have another appointment with my Oncologist until late August but recent developments have caused [...]
I’m back on the ‘medicinal marijuana’ bus again…..
Some people are idiots…
Like the ones who call pot a ‘gateway drug’
Sorry, but pot doesn’t lead to the use of harder drugs, if anything, it lessens inhibitions asscoiated with the fear of ‘trying’ other drugs.
Chronic potheads are just too damn lazy [read :stoned:] to care about other drugs, like; meth, coke, heroin etc. I grew [...]
Miles Levin has died
Miles Levin died yesterday. he left his earthbound body behind, hopefully off to bigger, better and even happier times.
I watched from a distance as he became a sort of celebrity, Larry King wanted to interview him. HIM. A gangly boy with a deadly disease.

New web poll Please take a moment
Okay
my husband and I are considering opening a business where we sell ONLY sugar free items it would be here in our local area in Wilmington North Carolina

…is there always a bright side? Or at least, a brighter side? Sometimes it is hard to tell when everything goes dark and your world is covered by a shroud of gloom and despair.
There is a lot to be said for the power of positive thinking and humor…humor….Did you know they call the funny bone [...]
Getting a cancer diagnosis
I think there are worse things one could be told by their Doctor.
[at least I am not terminal.]
