any job nibbles?

actually wrote that- not autocorrected.

sorry about your dad. has he had any treatment for the cancer (surgery, seeds, whatever's latest and greatest, etc)? 

how's the house holding up? that's gotta be about ready to be finished, right?

Lots of nibbles, but no job.

My dad had radiation treatment 19 years ago and it seemed to knock the cancer out pretty good, but his PSA levels have been rising recently and the cancer has spread some. Prostate cancer is slow-growing, so it may not end up mattering. Unfortunately radiation treatment harms tissue and he recently experienced a ruptured bladder, probably related to radiation cystitis (a side effect). I don't recommend rupturing your bladder--seems unpleasant. So he had major surgery to repair that and currently has fun external bags to collect urine from tubes coming straight out of his kidneys. Also not recommended. But he was well enough to go home today from the nursing home/recovery center. My ne'er do well sister lives with him, which helps some, but I still have to be the adult in charge of getting him to doctor's appointments, paying his bills, and whatnot. He is going to get new tubes installed internally from his kidneys to his bladder on Tuesday. They are artificial tubes that replace the ureters. This, also, does not sound like much fun to me. Urology is neat.

We've lived in the house for a year on Saturday. It is great, but it remains 97% complete, which is exactly where it was a year ago. Being unemployed doesn't help. Nor does a five figure dispute with the contractor. The good news (or the silver lining to my idiocy, more accurately) is we don't have a contract, so that ####bird can get ####ed. But he isn't exactly beating down my door to rectify the remaining issues.

Did you ever talk to the guy I referred you to?   I can't remember.

I want to like it, but I'm all liked out.

Sorry your dad's going through it. cancers bad enough... Ruptured bladder? Ugh.

Hoping the work thing rights itself soon for you... Sucks. If there's anything I can do, let me know. Other than liking post, cause as I said...

 
Sorry to hear about all your dad's issues. Mine has been fighting bladder cancer for 2 decades. Found it in the ureter a few years back, and they couldn't take it without taking the whole kidney. So that happened. And when you get old and have arthritis and whatnot, all the things they want to give you are REALLY good for people with only 1 kidney.  

They've been trying to talk him into removing the bladder for years, and he refuses. Definitely not fun stuff to deal with. Thoprawishes to pa redleg.

This is already well documented.  Anything like that furls posts can pretty much be written off as the raving falsehoods of a cheese-eating heathen.   "Can we imagine", indeed.

it's a delicate dance.  one that i, completely f'd up, after my acl surgery.  i had a nerve block for the surgery.  so, felt no pain afterwords.  8 hours later, the pain was OFF THE CHARTS.  no amount, even brett favre amounts, of vicodin could get ahead of the pain that first night.

 bonus!!  since i took so many opioids the first 3 days, i had the worst constipation, EVAH!!!!  had to stop taking pain killers, so i could poop.  the constipation was worse than the surgery pain.   :banned:   good times

Okeechobee? Doesn't get a lot more BFE in Florida than that (I'll be spending Xmas there with in-laws)

That’s true.  Clewiston, Belle Glade, Moore Haven, and any other town near Lake O are your quintessential bfe Florida spots.  I am actually much closer to Tampa.

I honestly don't know how anybody here in suburban Maryland escapes a deer collision at some point in their driving careers. And in talking with people, it seems that few of us do. I don't know if there's even a viable solution to a common and fairly costly problem.

Same in rural/suburban MN. 

I have hit 2 deer in my 20 years of driving. Technically one of them hit me...

Have had that also.   Like giving birth.  

 
I mentioned floppinho just started middle school at public school here in nyc that's music based (special music school). they're routinely the top test-scoring school in the entire city, and more importantly he loves the school and his classmates, so it's all been gravy so far. his first grade-wide recital was today, so we weren't sure what to expect (copied the below from the concerts thread).

more floppinho shows coming up...

his first actual school performance is on friday morning (just the 14 kids in his grade). we've recently found out that some of these kids are already touring europe and asia playing (piano and violin), so I have a feeling dis gonna be good. it's all individual performances, not ensemble. the school focuses on individual- lessons and performing- ensemble stuff is extracurricular, other than chorus... and we have his first chorus performance friday night.

hfs.

I played piano until I graduated HS... was in my HS orchestra, did smaller regional competitions- was serious, but not overly so (practiced 1hr/day, not 4 like my teacher wanted).

these 11yos are so far beyond what I was doing and capable of doing as an 18yo, it's insane... and that's just on piano (lots of chopin etudes). there were 5 pianos, 5 violins, 1 flute, 1 clarinet, 1viola and floppinho on percussion (scared the #### out of his classmates and parents with the first couple hits- they're not used to hearing something that loud). there was a tiny little girl who wandered out to play violin... so small I felt immediately protective of her in case she messed up. ended up being a virtuoso superstar. I can't believe my kid knows these kids, let alone goes to school with them... compltetly  blow away.
