Nothing but a little story about a $20 ring.
This was my Dad’s ring. My parents were married in 1951. This ring was a Christmas gift to my Dad from my Mom soon after they were married. In the spring of 1952, my mom secretly went to a jewelry store and put this ring on a Christmas lay away plan. This ring cost about $20 originally. My mother had to pay the jewelry store $2 every month throughout the year to have the ring paid off before Christmas. I was born in 1959 and throughout my life I can remember my Dad wearing his ring whenever an important occasion occurred. My Dad passed away in 1992 from cancer. My Mom gave me the ring. Throughout my life I have upheld his tradition of wearing it to significant family events. I have worn it as my 2 daughters got married. It was with me for countless holiday family get togethers, numerous high school and college graduations, grandchildren's births, anniversary dinners and also at various random occasions that I just felt had some merit of one kind or another. This ring is absolutely priceless to me. Well last night I got the ring out so that I could wear it today to my last throat cancer treatment. As the treatment ended, I thought about my Dad and how he was probably smiling right then about me and his $20 ring. Thanks to everyone for their care, concern and words of support during my journey for the past 3 months. I certainly appreciate it. The ring will come out 12 weeks from now when I go to get scanned to verify that I’m cancer free. -Spoiler Last edited by Spoiler; 12-03-2019 at 10:27 PM. |

Wow. I can't believe you're done with treatment already. I'm sure it seemed a lot longer to you than it did to the rest of us. I am so happy for you that it's done. Hoping for stellar results in three months.
What's the ETA on taste bud recovery? That has to be NOTHING but a great thing to look forward to. Let the cheese tasting begin!

I actually haven't had nothing much to eat other than watered down small curd cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, some tapioca pudding and sips of water for over 40 days now. I’m down about 35 lbs. (*I only add this last bit of information as a caution for anyone who happens to be standing in front of the refrigerator door when my appetite returns... they may want to consider moving to the side a bit.... ) Last edited by Spoiler; 12-03-2019 at 04:00 PM. |

I have some bad news though. That 35 LBS you misplaced I think I found some of it. I love the Story of The Ring. So thrilled for you and Mrs. Spoiler. |

Good Morning. I think I'm gonna NOTHING but call out today and spend the day doing other things. I saw a post today about many different areas of The Villages being JUDGED by someone new and instead of fighting I'll let someone else handle it.
If you are a Praying person how about a little favor and send a prayer for a dear friend in NJ who is really lumped up physically and for all those who are hurting. Thanks. |

Yesterday at the Oxford, Walmart got Blu-Rays for Argo, The Departed and Black Mass for $5 out of a bin full of $5 DVD or Blu-Rays. NOTHING but quite a buy. Three Blu-Rays for $5. Argo (2012) - Rotten Tomatoes
Remember talking a lot about Argo with the people at Doggie Doo Run Run when that movie came out. Quite a lot of opinions involved. |

WATCH THE DEPARTED FIRST. It is amazing! You may have to watch it twice. It's a little complicated even for the formerly criminally-minded! At least that's what I heard. |
