This forum is now my #2 most visited site in my history because of both the subject matter and the positive vibe. Yesterday’s doctor visit didn’t go so well and this is where I come to feel better. Reading good people talking about equipment and music in such a positive way, especially given how negative every other site seems to be keeps me a modicum of sane and positive even in the face of not so great news.
Sorry to hear the doctors didn’t go better, wishing you all the best with whatever you’re facing. I find all avenues of music incredibly healing, and having somewhere to share my passion is a godsent!
My brother was given 1.5 years to live around 5 years ago. Prostate cancer had metastasized to his spine and pelvis. He is still largely asymptomatic - you wouldn’t know he has it. So, don’t despair - you never know, and don’t believe everything they tell you.
Of course back then, they would be saying, “There’s only so much we can do” and now they’ll happily take credit for keeping you alive, both of which are not, strictly speaking, true.
umiami91…God can and does work in mysterious ways…Keep the Faith! Prayer can be a most powerful way of cleansing one’s mind to see what goodness we can experience within the compounds of our spiritual nature. Peace to you.
@umiami91 The hat is a classic! Hopefully you have a lot more time to enjoy this hobby and this group of people who for the most part really care for each other in a very un-internet way. There are a couple of flys in the soup but they don’t affect the taste enough to matter. We are all sending healing thoughts your way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brett - that pic reminded me of watching this Brit TV thing recently with Michelle Dockery of Downton Abbey fame. She’s SO much hotter in hippie-chick garb : )
