Who are the old farts around here (and willing to admit it)

My thoughts and prayers are there for you for the best outcome, keep your head up and think positive!!!

 

You got it!

 

Prayers lifted up

 

Prayers sending to you! Stay strong!

 

Sorry to hear this! It will be a challenge (like others here I'm on a short leash w/my C diagnosis), be kind to yourself, allow friends and family to help you as necessary-they want to be helpful to and for YOU. As already noted listen ask questions of your care team, if you feel you are not getting the care you need get that second opinion...I'm sure you know all this, but sometimes receiving a diagnosis of cancer we can lose focus. If I may be so bold, write any questions/concerns you have for your care team and take the list to your appointment(s). We often forget or lose focus in the exam room and remember later...gee I should have asked...
Ok, off my soap box. Just know good prayers and energy to you and I wish you the very best for great health in 2026!

 

I do not know your beliefs but in my times of trouble I lean on this verse:
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27
Praying for you to have peace in your times of trouble.
Rich

 

Sorry to hear this.
Thoughts and prayers sent.
Hang in there.

 

Morning old farts 18* , the weather guy is calling for a warm up. I wish mom nature would make up her mind, 40+ next week

 

Checking in to see how the old farts are doing today.

 

We had a little ice here in west Jefferson NC this morning. Finally got the camper pulled up the hill and noticed another stage in my life has happened. I am on the upslope of the mountain but on the downslope to retirement. Life is good!

 

Woke up still old, still farting, and still above ground. So all in all, doing pretty dang well thanks.
Today my wife and may go out and look at the ubiquitous old fart acquisition...
Recliners.

 

Beautiful sunny day, tho 17 degrees...that late week "warm up" I'll appreciate as I didn't snowplow New Year's Day. In face I never left the house...It was great! My daughter's family came over yesterday and took "old fart" G'dude out to lunch. You can see by the photo I'm back at the "kids seating area"

Hope you all have a real fine day!

 

Thank you so much! This has been pretty overwhelming. I don’t have a lot of “help” around me so will be doing the best I can. You are right about writing things down, my head is still spinning. I wish you well for what you are going thru!

 

Good morning to all you old farts no snow removal yesterday my weather guy is teasing us with talk of a weather warm up

 

This is bad news. You'll find strength, it's only a temporary set back. My wife is a breast cancer survivor of 9 yrs., and I had prostate cancer a couple of years back, we understand your situation totally. When we were undergoing treatment, doctors and nurses alike said "the mind is a very powerful thing". Try to keep a positive outlook, and those prayers are coming at you 10 fold!

 

HA ha! Same here...it'll "warm the end of the week." Woke to a wee bit more snow this AM. Going to have to get a new snow thrower soon. My old Craftsman, of 36 years, is finally saying it wants to retire!

 

Woke up to 30* today, high today mid 40's. Supposed to warm up to the low 60's midweek.

 

You got your money’s worth

 

Woke up today to 28*. High today low 50's

 

Good morning old farts a warm up this week,

 

By Michigan standards, is that 30 or so?

 

I didn't get called in to work today, so I will hopefully be finishing the garden pergola. Mid 50's here and no rain until Thursday. Have a great week OF!

 

Yeah pretty much, possibly up to 40* but with rain. Ski resorts are pissed , they have had a few bad years in a row

 

I enjoy visiting the snow but I like the foothills of NC and the 4 seasons : )

 

We're going to get a "cool down" this week to 55/40 (maybe a couple 39s in there). Our place in the mountains is finally going to get cold. It's been 45/25 for awhile now, but this week it will get to 19/9. Hoping for snow.

 

THAT is for dang sure! I suspect the next one will out survive me! Ha!

 

I sincerely appreciate all your prayers that means a lot to me. I hope you are both doing well now. I find our tomorrow what all they plan on doing so I’m pretty anxious. Thank you again so much!

 

Good Morning to all the hopefully retired and spending there SS benefits old farts.

 

My Wife turned 62 today so that means the race to retirement is on! We both agreed to work till we are 67 to make the most from our SS, I say we just start selling our rental units.

 

Trying like heck to get there in 8 (maybe 6!) years.
