137 to G***H

Not that I'm counting. Now what could I be talking about?

GFMPH Yankee Style!

Now don't get all excited - We all do have time to make plans.


I'll be updated the subject line of this to reflect the number of days to!

Your kiddin'. You have a date already?

I am doing bake sales to pay my way to GFMPH Yankee Style. It will be a grand road trip from Alabama to Worried Guys place, who else wants a road trip with me?

Terry ( I will get there before Raddad)

Just Googled Hershey to Rochester --- 5 hours 6 mins.

Got room for my Miata and me?

Jerry

Sure we've got room! We also have water and electrical hookups for RVs - even a Miata if you want to fill it with warm water and take a bath.

Jeff

Oh Oh! Did someone say they were bringing their miata?   I was considering doing the same. Mine's too "squirrelly" to be ever caught being roadkill, though.  See you guys there in September. Less than a two hour drive for me.

Skate (Jack)

You guys keep that up and I may have to drive my vette and show you a real sports car!.. :)

Cajun Jeff

Jerry:

It's a black with tan leather '94, with about 160,000 Kil. on it. Bring on the Vette Jeff. Two on one.

Jack

Wah wah wah ...

You sound more like a Lincoln owner.

I'll give it a try.

To start - Nope. GFMPH (Good for Mens Prostate Health) is not just for guys. At Cajun Jeff's this year we had 21 guys and 8 spouses.

From the Urban Dictionary
Good For Men's Prostate Health
1) Used as justification to have any request, no matter how outlandish, satisfied by a significant other.

2) Any desirable toy or act that a man can somehow relate to prostate health.
"Dear, I heard that chocolate is GFMPH." "Would you like me to get a box for you now?"

"Dear, I heard that engaging in amorous activities while swinging from a chandelier is GFMPH." "Would you like me to wear the nurse outfit again?"
"Man, this new snow blower is GFMPH. It works so well my wife does the driveway."

From what I understand one of our HW brothers actually came up with the term GFMPH :)

So what are the GFMPH gathers and why should you come.
Just imagine how great it would be to actually meet those of HW who have become such a part of your journey. To be in the same place, share food, drink, laughter and yes even learn stuff. Stuff from guys and gals who have been down the same path you are or maybe going.

What kind of stuff? Yup medical stuff, also more importantly - life stuff - how to deal with all the foo that comes to us with this crap we are all fighting.

GFMPH Cajun Style 2012 was the first one I went to. Honestly I was really not sure what to expect.
My experience;
Bayou Jackal (Cajun Jeff's brother) and his lady picked me up at New Orleans airport (was funny as they had GFMPH signs on the car). Now remember I had never meet Bayou Jackal and had only spoke with him twice on the phone. The three of us spoke like old friends all the way from New Orleans to Baton Rogue.

We get to Cajun Jeff's - I meet (in person) Cajun Jeff and his wonderful bride. We Hugged , laughed - it was like I had known them for years and we were the bestest of friends. - That was right on meeting them - no awkward moments at all.

As the guys and gals rolled in - some had known each other from past GFMPH's - everyone greeted each other as if they were old friends.

Wow that had never happened to me before. 30 people - many of them total strangers ....well thats not really true as we all had become part of each other's lives through Healing Well - meeting, hugging, everyone totally comfortable with each other.

A experience NOT to be missed.

More to be said, I'm sure others will chime in. NOW we have to get to our job! Going to spend some time with Gigi!

Bud

Bud,
Thanks for that detailed information. One last question, where can I find out where and when these gatherings take place?
Would love to try to attend.

Zimac

Hey Jeff:

Forgot to mention that we have two little bits of Hawaii, by way of Louisiana, at pool side now. Just flourishing in the sun. Thanks again.

Just yanking your timing belt about the vette, LOL.

Skate

Yes, as well as in Tennessee. My wife was thrilled with the gift and is carefully tending it. I've been having to carry it in and out of the house these last few cool below 50 nights. But worth it, as they remind me of the connections that brought it to us. Thanks
