I can understand looking at the odds and deciding that the amount of time chemo and radiation might buy you isn't worth it. However, if someone has a cancer that has a good rate of survival with medical treatment and chooses coffee enemas and carrot juice instead, I'm going to argue until I'm sure there's no chance of changing his mind. I also think that television portrayals of cancer treatment usually reflect the state of cancer treatment 30 years ago. If I have one message for people from my experience, it is that chemo and radiation is not that bad.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Hil, I don't know if the weather will cooperate, or what your budget is, but they do sailplane rides at Julian: [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That looks like fun. I'll look into it some more.

OK, I think I'm going to drive out to Bedford either Saturday or Sunday. There's some historical stuff, covered bridges, pretty mountains, and Gravity Hill [link]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
That looks interesting , Hil . and I wonder if I would be as adventurous as you are. I always claim that one of my biggest 'faults' is that i really get to comfortable with my ruts

I'm not sure that Bedford, PA, really counts as "adventurous." It's the home of the National Museum of the American Coverlet. (Seriously. [link] )

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Really? The COVERLET?
I read the Internet. I thought nothing could amaze me.
I was so wrong.

Coverlets are cool, and the punched cards of Jacquard loom were the first step towards computers.

It is the out and about that is adventurous. Like I said - i like my ruts and routines
but a coverlet museum is ... not adventuresome, but it might be cozy
