  The cancer has changed my wife

  by outoftheorg in

  we found out that she has pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver and blood vessels.

  she opted for chemo.

  although we have good insurance, we still have to pay quite a bit towards the $17000.00 bill every three weeks for treatment.

  My heart goes out you and your wife since I went through a similar situation with my wife. She died of ovarian cancer 10 years ago this month. She was only 46.

  So Donna decided to drop the chemo and life her life out with the use of pain releavers.

  That is what my wife did since the chemo was so devastating to any quality of life. She lived another 5 months after stopping chemo.

  Both of us seem to be easier angered and we sometimes have to apologize to each other. I really don't have any idea about what I will do when she passes away. I feel totally lost and confused about the present and the future.

  I notice the stress seems to be causing me to forget things,

  I fully understand. Until my wife passed, I had never been alone. I was lost and confused myself, with no sense of direction. It was shortly after this that I started seriously questioning my religion.

  It is an emotionally draining experience, and after it is over, I would advise looking for a support group where you can talk about all your feelings, frustration, anger and hurt. It worked for me and even though I am still alone, I'm surrounded by wonderful friends that I can count on.

  My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your wife.

  Jourles,

  You made a great choice and I hope you really enjoy your riding experience.

  As an old biker going back into the 1960's (when I was young)(and before I became a JW and threw my love away) and only holding onto the Harley or Triumph and BSA........and Norton attitude...........

  The new V-Twin bikes of today are fantastic.

  Until October 4, 2003 when I got broadsided on my Harley dresser (FLTC) and wound up in the trauma unit of the best hospital in Pittsburgh, I would only recognize a Harley as being a motorcycle.

  Now..............when I see what the other manufacturers are putting out..........I have changed my mind. The bikes that Yahama, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda are making..........at half the price and less............than Harley...........I am awed!

  And the bikes are more reliable than Harley's.

  I personally know a few old diehard Harley owners who are singing the praises of the "knockoff" bikes.

  What I really used to like was a Saturday or Sunday ride with a dozen other Harley's from my local HOG chapter. And now.......there are more rides being done by the "metric" v-twin groups.

  Could be that I might purchase another bike for the joy of the group ride once again!

  Have fun with your bike and "RIDE SAFE"

  What is a useful fact or information you know, that would help others?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i am always amazed that every once in awhile someone will tell me something, and i am shocked i did not know this information early or have it more publically known.

  do you know some information like this.

  if you call you credit card companies and say that you had a better offer with another company, for a lower interest rate, they will lower your interest rate to match or maybe even make it lower.

  Juicy Fruit chewing gum will get rid of those pesky moles in your beautiful flower beds and lawns better than expensive poisons that don't work. Just put a piece in each hole and depending on how large the mole family is.............they will be gone shortly.

  Seems that Juicy Fruit (and only Juicy Fruit) does the same thing to the mole's digestive system and Alka Seltzer does to seagulls.

  Mind Control Newsflash: Girl held against her will for 10 years

  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060323/ap_on_re_us/missing_girl_found

  the news story quotes someone who says "nobody will believe she was held against her will".

  this is because she was an adult, and was free to leave the house at certain times.

  The book Perfect Victim tells a similar story. Twenty-year old Colleen Stan was kidnapped and kept captive for 7 years before she was able to escape. I have posted several times about this. During her captivity she had many opportunities to escape but her captor had her convinced terrible things would happen if she disobeyed him in any way.

  The techniques used by abusive spouses. abusive parents, and abusive cults are exactly the same.

  Thank you Lee.

  This is exactly how this story is slowly coming out.

  What is pi$$ing me off is the narrow minded callers on the local talk shows condemning the girl and not saying much about the guy.

  This story is taking place less than 3 miles from where I live and 4 blocks from where I work. There is sooooooooooo much more to this than what you are hearing and reading.

  It will take a while to sort out all of the details, but this guy with the last name of Hose should do a lot of time for pedophilia,statuatory rape, and whatnot even though this girl is now 24. My mind conjurs up some really grotesque punishment for someone like him.

  Latest story in the neighborhood is that Hose is now being investigated in the rape and murder of another underage girl whose body was found in a cemetery just a few blocks from his house. This happend about 6 or so years ago.

  For the best local information........check out the local newspaper.................."The Mckeesport Daily News"

  True that, that's what makes Penton more interesting in that "Bill O'reilly kinda way". Penton lets his world view and biases skew his work. He needs to find a happy medium IMO. Ray Franz, if you can stomach the boredom, is a much more effective at letting his presented facts shape his conclusions.

  So then....................what you obviously are stating is..............................................................................................

  You really don't care about TRUTH!

  It makes my day when I read ramblings by another perceived "expert" on the feelings and experiences of XJW's.
