Re: Fw: Wet vs. Dry

Hi taco,

I don't think about my cancer. I do at times think about the damn
radiation poisoning from the treatments I received for cancer. I am
literally speaking a "walking skeleton", very much like a P.O.W. would
look like. I don't know how many times Lance had cancer but I've had it
three times now, plus thirty years of Multiple Sclerosis, and a whopper
fall in a store that broke my right femur; which needed 20 " of titanium
rod to fix it! Ha! It's not healed yet, but it's getting better. I have
an alternative that works and that is why I am still here. The doctors
told me to my face that I would be dead in 2004 " No ifs and or buts",
but I'm the one laughing at them!

I will look at F/295 more. I'm already a member, I just lurking in the
background from time to time. I get on the computer when I feel O.K., and
that's not to often these days. I'm getting a pinhole camera for
Christmas, so don't feel bad for me, O.K..

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays!

"Keep on Pinholin'",
Tom
