Both my grandmother and my dad had that--both lived for decades after diagnosis (Grandma was 101).
But then she was from Texas. So there. You're in exactly the right place.
16 million cheers for your wife! Tigers, as Kel would tell us, rule.
And adding in prayers from here.

I mean... with Pippin as your spouse, one would have to be very creative just to keep up! Better, sometimes, not to even try ;)

And I chuckled to hear how you sat to watch a bit of tv and ended with a bit of a nap. *points to my head* ME TOO! I do it all the time!
I'm glad the hectic part of your group's preparations are done and that you can relax. I also hear you on the virtual calories. I'm on a strict diet for the past couple of weeks and on until December 27 for some tests. RIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS! What's up with that!? *sigh* But don't watch after about 10am on the 27th. The pizza will be demolished!
I'm glad you're not trying to travel anywhere. I'm staying put, too. Have a wonderful Christmas, m'dear! :D

Now that does surprise me that it has been losing popularity! Mercy!
I am so envious of your trip coming up! WOW! Two weeks :D I hope the weather cooperates and it isn't as windy/rainy as it tends to be trending! How fun :D
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year! I'm thinking you're going to be a bit busy & distracted when the big 2025 hits... as you should be when on vacation! CHEERS M'DEAR!

Merry merry Christmas to you and Wonderful Wifey! There is no doubt that she has earned those stripes through perseverance and dedication. My wish for you both is that you can put your feet up now and enjoy a stress-free holiday season and 2025.
Best wishes,
Liss

Wifey is a super-tigress, please give her love from everyone here, and we know she'll make sure you're following all nurses' orders!
*Hugs* and hang in there, Darkstone!

Two weeks in Wairarapa! What a nice holiday! Will you be staying with relatives?
Coffee ice cream made with real coffee is the best kind (I could always taste if the flavouring was artificial). Alternately, put a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in a mug of coffee.
Safe travels, and may the sun shine for as much of your trip as possible!

*rummages behind bar and manages to find a mini can of Pepsi*
Meh, not good for the colon, but whatever...
*takes a sip and immediately spits it out*
Ugh... DIET... bleggh! I may be desperate for a drink, but not THAT desperate.
*wanders around aimlessly until finding bulletin board full of pictures of holiday Fiesta*
JACKPOT!
Let's see if there is any good blackmail material on here...
*disappointed*
Ugh, you guys are way too well-behaved to be any fun... except maybe gramma... who knew you were that flexible at your age...
... that high kick looks painful... maybe you should retire from dancing on tables.
(You're making the rest of us crones look bad.)
*sigh*
Alright, I'm outta here. Maybe I'll go troll Eowyn Shieldmaiden over on Facebook.
*wanders off muttering*
I wonder if the Grinch was just Gollum with a bad reaction to sunscreen...

*Hugs!* Here, let me mix up one of Annael's special eggnogs...virtual, so great for anything!
I think you're onto something there, about Gollum and the Grinch.
Hey, didja see that Darkstone has popped into Fiesta also? 
Okay, go wreak some holiday havoc!

You know the lights are always on and there's something behind/under/on the bar to quench your thirst! I've never disappointed anyone by being TOO good, so I'll bet you'll eventually find something to scandalize me with ;)
