(4) was supposed to be a secret.  The NSA must be on the prowl!

Once again the website bumped me out.  So, I did my duty and made four attempts before I persuaded the computer to allow my presence.  Yep, the NSA reported that event (4) to me.  Manning got 35 years for blabbing that one to the World.

Gerald slept here.  Home base for me.  I couldn't help noticing that no one dusted the furniture since I've been gone.  Where have I been?  I went to a mechanic and had him jack up my kidneys and drive a new body under those pee-makers.  It has been a rough road during my time away, as usual I made it back here.

Hey. Is anybody out there?

Once upon a time I got sick.  I got cancer, cancer, cancer, and cancer.  Then I had renal failure, dialysis, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary embolism, gall bladder attack, macular degeneration, and a whole bunch of stuff.  I'll show you my scars if you show me yours.

I am not on dialysis any longer.  I am one of the lucky ones to have survived that ordeal. So I left the forum thinking only those who are on dialysis should speak out.  However, the Head-Mama invited me back. I will discuss anything you wish.  You should expect some corny jokes from me along the way.

I hope I can brighten everyone's life.  Having been there and done that, I have some insight into the plight of those attached to the machine. I escaped and most cannot.  Good to be back.

Yes, but your old name should also be working - did you get my email with the new password? Or you can just keep this one.

Dear Boss-lady:
I assume you read all this stuff, so here goes;  A member sent me a personal message which I read.  I tried to respond but the system requires some extraordinary information before my letter is permitted - - how many freckles are on my nose, my great-grandmothers maiden name, and then as if I were young and tough, it asked me to read some sort of hieroglyphic that I couldn't sort out with a magnifying glass, a butter knife and a pair of tweezers.   This is more security than I saw back in my NSA days.  I promise I won't steal anything and I won't propose marriage to more than several of the beautiful young ladies on this forum.  Anyone under 75 is young.

I HATE those security words. I can't figure them out no way no how. Very frustrating when I'm just trying to email an article or something.

Still here.  Kidneys still at 35-40%.  Developed COPD with scarred lung and a pulmonary embolism.  Not doing any weight training, might pass out in the middle of a bench press.  75.

Sorry to hear about the COPD, but the kidneys seem to be holding steady.
