We're in new territory here, dude. Let's boldly go forth and monitor the shit out of this thing. Roll our own rules and get the docs to smoke 'em!

Seriously, though, I love seeing all the "normal" and "within normal limits" in your report! The "mild degenerative changes" to your spine and hips are only to be expected from the karate. Assume last blood tests were fine and dandy?

Let's live like we have many years ahead of us, like our friend Eric would say. Because we just might.

YES NFUP it IS .... BUTT it is YOUR idea 'cos y'all recall some of the "heat" I took wayback when I ...
" invented a new stage .... 3.5 "
when I was a liitle less Zen and more Shaka Zulu

yeah bloods were good and still livin' Eric's motto as best I can ....
BUTT hey .... this IS me after all ... so doing my best approximation of best I can !

lovin' the

Let's boldly go forth and monitor the shit out of this thing. Roll our own rules and get the docs to smoke 'em!

Eric would approve my friend !

Cheers and Harmony y'all
thanks for the posivibes

I shall endeavor judiciously to stay off the doctor's shitlist

Sometime during this week ..... OR last week, or maybe next week ?????
Isn't that just about how a CRC patient's schedule works ?
I registered, joined and logged into this very forum in February 2008.

I even posted my first post

I was less than a week away from temp ileo takedown ... BUTT a veteran of surgery / chemo / radiation ... SO I just wanted to hang out here,
being a CRC veteran, and an old guy ... just wanted to see how folks were doing on forum.

MOLLY and Sergei founded and ran the forum and we had a CRC survivor as Moderator, and a whole buncha' folks who were linked in and sometimes online. The forum was pretty casual, homey, laid back, interesting, topical ... butt .... BUTT FIRST AND FOREMOST

THIS FORUM WAS AND IS ... the BEST SUPPORT forum on the internet.
I was into and out of a lot of them. Many had good vibes and good folks, BUTT none had the level of discussion this one had.

Now you might say : "Yeah sure CRguy you are a Mod so you gotta say good things about the forum "

In FACT : I was the enfant terrible pain in the ass jerk we would all wish to avoid ..... UNLESS
you were dealing with a life threatening illness, which we were.

Some how
Some way

I survived both CRC and my early days HERE, and eventually was invited to become a Mod

I still think there was kind of a vibe " nobody could be worse than CR, so if we bring him on board ... he will protect us from everyone else LIKE HIM !!! "

great thinking, 'cos since then I have spent more hours nuking hackers and spammers and just plain A-HOLES, than I have just being a CRC guy with all the rest of you / us / me.

No matter, 'cos we all have a role to play here and in essence ...
We are ALL just real folks trying to survive the tsunami we have / are / will face .... CRC
We are all just real folks

THAT is what keeps me coming back, day after week, after year, after decade ...

Being here in my capacity as Mod gave ME a new purpose in my Journey and I hope to share that with all folks here, with whom I have the honor and privilege of interacting

past

present

future

We all have our future and CRC, with all our efforts ... WILL NOT have a future.

That is my dream
that is my WORD !

Love Peace and Harmony to ALL
On the Journey

Thank YOU for keeping the idiots away and thank you for not thinking I was an idiot.

This forum ROCKS as do the people that reside here, past and present.

Can't wait for the day that this forum is no longer needed.

One of the best things about this forum, besides CR Guy and all the other great members, is the search function. I don't know of any other groups (including FaceBook groups) that have a search function that works as well. There is a wealth of information and experience here.

The collective wisdom HERE over the years since I first joined is = EFFING AWESOME
we have / have had ... researchers / doctors / nurses / advocates / caregivers / newbies / friends / supporters / patients / politicos / media / business gurus ... who make the difference
the list goes on so if I have forgotten anyone it is just because there are SO MANY great folks, I just kind of take it for granted that WE are the best
AND I do agree ... the SEARCH is actually a very good implementation ... BUTT also because we can search all the great folks who contribute !!!!! (WORD !! )

lovin' the Harmony
Thank you
to you ALL who have made my own Journey way more meaningful, insightful, supportive and pro-active than I ever thought it would be ...
way back in 2007

I loved that bad dude! He was (and still is) honest, caring, defensive of people's right to be heard, a peacemaker and a troublemaker in equal measure. There are times you just gotta act up, CRguy! It's in your DNA. (I'm sure there is a mutation for "wicked sense of humor" somewhere in your genetic test results!) Remember when I didn't want Kenny objectifying my Bosch 36 Volt Litheon Hammer Drill and he demanded a photo of me in my bikini. Ah, those were the good ol' days.

Amen for REAL people. Don't need no goody-good mod. Need a real dude with real emotions who is strong enough to nuke the spammers and a-holes and keep them away from our little spot!

CRguy wrote:THAT is what keeps me coming back, day after week, after year, after decade ...

You are our north star, our warrior with the light saber battling the cyber wars, our zen poet whose heart breaks when he loses any one of us. You are one of a kind. You are my kind of hero. And truth be told, we'd be lost without you.

Congratulations on 10 years. Totally AWESOME!!!

Major milestone,

Lee

Thank y'all ... stu, Lee, Atoq
I plan on at least another TEN !!!!!

juliej ....YES I do
I recall the KWT bikini Bosch incident very well

truth is I am STILL that bad boy with all my wicked genes intact ..... BUTT

I am more into using that less like a sword now,
and more like a shield

same weapon
different purpose

YOU know what I am talkin' about

I agree with mypinkheaven.
Another thing that I think is good here is the signatures, haven’t seen that anywhere else.
Love you CRguy, congratulation on the 10years!

Thank you homie !

Cheers and best wishes to you
