Now if I could just figure out how to grab that lift on the way by next time. It looks lots spiffier.

Glen, if Rick got the trifecta Beth might find him laying in his own pee (passed out happy).

Okay this is too good not to share.
About a month ago this little old lady comes in with a TPMS light on, the quick lane guy finds a screw in her tire, over by the shoulder, "Sorry M'am but you need a new tire that one can't be fixed".
She comes back in and wants the screw, because someone stole her screwdriver and they must have used it to put the screw in her tire, she is calling the cops.
Yesterday she comes back to have the locks and ign switch changed on her car because someone has the keys to her car. She knows this because when she goes to church someone rearranges all the stuff in her car. It is the same person who broke into her house and stole her purse. She knows it was stolen because when it was returned it was put in a different room in her house. She also wanted us to find the tracking unit that is in her car.
I think Granny needs her meds reevaluated.

Rick, you know some local LEOs right? Might ought to call a wellfare check in on this lady. See if you can find some family members maybe? She sounds like she need to be under close medical care.

And now for my big news time! I've been hinting at this for a while now...

Today was my last day with my employer. I've been gearing up since July to quit my job and start working as a Realtor in AZ. I will have my license finished up next week. I wasn't planning to quit so soon, but life happens, which is the second half of this.

Mom started chemo last week for breast cancer. So next week I will be hoping on a flight back to OK to be there for her second round of chemo, and then to help dad out with a few projects. From there we will see how she is responding to treatment, and I'll probably go back to OK a few more times before the end of the year. Its been a wild month, and I have a feeling the next few will be as well.

And glen, we'll have to grab lunch or dinner while I'm home!

Sorry to hear about your mom. The big C is scary. Will tell you what I tell everyone I hear about getting the big C...

First, have your Mom take Nutrilite XX daily vitamins. Take 4 to 6 times a day instead of two. Nutrilite is sold by Amway. Made all my Mom's lumps and bumps go away. Even the mammogram technician noticed Mom's lumps disappeared. My housekeeper's daughter had a similar experience with the cancer disappearing taking the Nutrilite XX. Brother took it for 2 months between discovering he had prostate cancer and getting proton therapy. When they did examination to start Proton therapy they couldn't find the cancer.

Second, DO NOT let them put her on the drug Tamoxifen. They say 80% don't have cancer return, but they don't track the side effects or the number that die from strokes. I know because I filled out the follow up forms and the only information they were interested in was if the cancer returned, not any side effects or anything else for that matter. Stroke are the first side effect listed for Tamoxifen. After two going on three strokes we had to tell the doctor Mom would rather have cancer return than have more strokes to get the doc to take her off it. Her Alzheimer's is really post stroke dementia caused by the Tamoxafin enduced strokes. My friends wife is a hospice nurse and she confirmed most all of her terminal patients that were on tamoxifen were having strokes and the strokes stopped when they took those patients off the tamoxifen. She also gave me some symptom diffences that point to post stroke dementia instead of actual Alzheimer's.

damn, that is a lot of life stress at once, sid.

good luck with the new career. real estate will never die. people ALWAYS need a place to live and call home.

i feel for your mom, having been there myself. i hope she recovers and all is well.

as always, you and yours are welcome at my house, anytime. (and that goes for the rest of you hooligans.)
