DAMMIT!! If he just would have sent *ME* the $1K, I would have provided the
same miracle.

Good news, Ken. Congrats.

Dammit man, I thought for sure I could sneak that by you by
donating during the NC-Dook football game. You must watch all
the reruns too.

Great news! Hope you fully recover.

Sadly my kidneys are also failing. Saw a very pretty nephrologist
today. She was upbeat about everything, so I am much better
psychologically. Turns out the my diabetes meds (medforman) had
damaged the kidneys this past year. Looks like I am going to have to
go to insulin injections. I am told that one shot a day of a new type
should keep me ok.

I'm not in total remission yet but I'm heading that way at a
rapid pace. This ****ty disease is disappearing as mysteriously
as it appeared 21 months ago. I'm still trying to wrap my head
around this fantastic paradigm shift.

OBROFF: I wet a line in SE Minnesota's Beaver Creek for awhile
Sunday afternoon. The catching was slow but the fishing was great.

Excellent news, Ken!

Yes, it is - glad to hear it!

Naw, it couldn't be that...I mean, it made it through a horse's dick
without any known problems, so why not a horse's ass?

Glad to hear it, Ken. Here's hoping it continues to disappear.

As everyone else here my prayers are in your direction, good luck and
think positive. F/T

Thanks R, if I knew then what I know now I'd have taken you
up on those Rose Bowl tix.
