An easy, non-confrontational subject: Hobbies are GFMPH, what is yours?

logo, didn't entirely understand the last part of your last post, almost sounded like a riddle, I don't usually get those, lol. Our lives are much more than any of our cancers, and while in my case, my cancer is causing physical limitations to my body, it will never, ever control my mind or who I am as a person

That's all very very good stuff there, devasted. all sounds good to me.

prior to me experiences with chronic fatigue and chronic pain, I never took naps, thought they were an utter waste of time. these days, my daily nap is one of the most important parts of my "treatment" as anything else. I usually crash most days between 3 and 4 pm, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, I don't always sleep much, but I get off my feet and chill out. I am offered free massages anytime I want at PT, but so far, haven't taken them up on them, because with the pain I feel, the last thing I would want is to have someone rub or touch me, makes me cringe just thinking about it. it would probably help me if I could get over that part.

grand kids absolutely add a new dimension to our lives as we get over. mine are 9 and 11, no longer babies.

Purgatory, the hobby thread is "talking story" from folks who happen to have PCA. No "talking stink", has occurred on it. The other threads are the traditional threads with folks who have PCA and is about PCA and the problems it presents. As we have observed recently and before, those threads have had episodes of "talking stink". Talking story and talking stink are pidgin english used in hawaii, and expresses good conversation and bad conversation. My point is it would be difficult to talk story one sec, on the "free thread". with you for example and then go to a normal thread and talk stink with you. I thru the politics and religion in, counterpointed by PCA , for irony. As I expressed in another post I do like riddles, but I know their place, this was not an instance of that, nor would a post to a newbie that would be detrimental to his situation.
I have a difficult time explaining my thought process but there is a logic, there, and do the best I can. Also a lot of my postings do need to be read carefully. A lot of writing is like this. As I stated in another thread , we all communicate differently, but usually someone will chime in, PeterD, is excellent at this, and put it on simpler terms. We all try to do better, but we must keep "who we are, who we are" as long as it is benign and this is decided by the the initial communicator, rightly or wrongly. I hope that helps, and so back to hobbies and less cerebral matters, regards, Logo

TimG , when you see your Dad again, tell him thank you so much for your service from a grateful recipient of the benefits of that victory. Thats quite a military family you come from.

Logo - this time, I got what you meant, and we are in agreement. We all have different thought processes and means of communications. I am the worse person to talk to on a phone, you would think I was touched in the head. I just don't like being on phones, ask any one that has tried to reach me, it can be quite an ordeal. My cell phone is either off, or on "silent", and if I don't recognize a number, it won't be answered.  Even though I have a smart phone , Windows 8 HTC, most of its features are wasted on me.  I text if I have too, and answer if its important.  I would rather always write as my means of communication.

Al,

Don't worry , the Pat's would have to close down as a team, before I would become a Raven's fan, just saying if I had to have a back up team. More chance of a blizzard in Hell today then me supporting any NY sports team. On the Pat's FB page, we take great delight trashing Rex Ryan, more than anyone else, if you hate the NY teams, that page is worth checking out, especially during season.

Bill B. long term decisions and manner still give me great faith in our team, I trust him. We have lost some other good players the past 2 years, but it always seems to work itself out. I remember well when Randy Moss was convinced that the Pat's couldn't live without him. He was so wrong, despite his amazing record.

Season can't open soon enough for this fan. I have a beautiful custom car tag for my main tag, promoting the Pat's. I love it here in SC where most trash the Pat's, because we win so much, doesn't matter what the poor losers say, lol.

You mean the state where the northern intrusions finally became too much? I like to think of it as the second tea party

Yes, have long been involved with the Hunley recovery.

@142  I'm sure there were bad apples in my family; we've had a couple of bad prostates, too. 

@logoslidat  Thanks for your kind words about my dad's WWII service.

This doesn't count, strictly speaking, as a hobby, but I enjoy traditonal shaving using a double-edged razor, shave brush and lather.  I got tired of high-priced cartridge razor systems and never liked electric razors. My beard is too patchy to look decent, so that route was out.  I get a closer, more enjoyable shave nowadays. 

Heck Purgatory you autta grow it it you'd be a hit with the younger generation. lol I always liked the barber sharpening his blade on the leather strap. Milkman, barbers, vegetable vendors, radio shows, like suspense theater and lights out were all part of my childhood memories. On my street, we even had a iceman come by and all the kids would rush to him just for the free shard of ice he would give us in the summertime heat. Don't get me started on wintertime fun…….

yooper - I remember the original road runners quite well. I always wanted a 1969 GTO "Judge" in that orange color. Couldn't afford it when they were new, still can't afford one now, lol

logo - I could grow a perfect full beard on the right side of my face, that would be a new look for me, and be clean shaven on the left.

gunfighter, that is one huge pike, didn't realize they got that big. haven't actually seen one, other than pictures, imagine they can put up a fight

david

Andrew, if that is the case, you would love talking with my daughter, she is really deeply serious into literary theory, to a level, that even as a published writer, is way over my head

Dave/Purg and Andrew "In the Shop"
Dave--I read Andrew's blogs about 4 hours ago and just now discovered that he has a degree in English...He's a pretty good writer! I may be mistaken but I believe that is your forte also..yes, I hate to admit it but many moons ago I received a degree in English..maybe the schooling helped me in writing staff studies and general war plans in Germany, but it was of no assistance when I was drilling 16,000' oil/gas well in the Texas P:anhandle
Northern Pike--Same family as muskys. Many people don't like them for various reasons but that is my personal game fish!
