What's in your wallet??

Good Morning,

The checks are beginning to trickle in!!!! Thank You for those that submitted checks to me here at The 'Burg. The replacement, when it needs to be, computer fund is now at $175.00. Woo Hoo!!!!! Almost 1/3 of the way to the target of $600.00. PayPal users can send funds directly via E-mail through kcfastlane@yahoo.com. Otherwise, checks or money orders can be sent via snail mail. That address appears at the end of this post. Again, Thank You to the contributors thus far. Your generosity is truly appreciated.

Fairly quiet week here at The 'Burg. Slept fairly well this week. The magic pill is helping, I feel. Hope it continues.

I've completely given up on the Reds for finishing well. Now the attention turns to the Colts. 2-0 on the young Season, though I am predicting the Cardinals to upset them this week. Too many key injuries. I hope to be proven wrong but if not, you heard it here first. Game is the Sunday Night ESPN game this week. Be sure to tune in. I did watch the Hoosiers nearly upset Michigan today (Saturday). VERY good game.

Look for some changes to the Blog this next week. New links will be going up. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say.

Well, that's my ditty for this week. Have a safe week and I'll see all of you here next week.

Cram for the test all for naught

Good Morning,

I was studying hard for the upcoming sleep study. Burn the midnight oil, drank tons of coffee, lost tons more sleep. Then they canceled the darned thing on account of my having a trach. Doctor should have known this prior to scheduling the darned thing. So, now I am back to square one. Unsure what is next. I have begun taking a sleeping pill. It knocks me out within 30 minutes but when I wake up to use the bathroom I can't get back to sleep. Although that was not the case this morning. Went back to bed and back to sleep and "slept in" to 7:00 a.m. Hopefully I'll start getting a better nights rest.

Now on to the computer fund Lee has graciously started. Lee, I'll use your funds for the inteded purpose in hopes of attracting more. I received an E-mail from Trilla, my 2nd Cousin, inquiring how she can help. So, here is what we'll do. IF (you) wish to make a donation to "Don's replacement computer fund", you may do so one of two ways. IF (you) have a PayPal account, funds can be sent directly to me via E-mail. The address for it is kcfastlane@yahoo.com. OR, if preferred, a check or money order can be sent here to me at The 'Burg. The address is at the end of this E-mail. Any donations for any amount will be graciously accepted and used strictly for a replacement CPU when the time comes. Also, I'll report each week the amount in the fund. Thank you, Lee, for getting the ball rolling. TRULY appreciate it. Replacement CPU fund sits at $75.00. PayPal adds interest Monthly, I believe it's 3% or something like that

Also, I've decided, after reviewing comments both here and in E-mail, to keep publishing The Sunday News. Just be aware that some weeks will not have much content. It's tough to have Pulitzer quality content each week. All I'll promise is SOMETHING from me each week.

Colts play Miami on Monday Night. Colts 1-0 on the season. Defense and Special Teams looked pretty good last week. Offense a little rusty and will be rough going with Gonzales out for ~3 games. Hope a youngster can step up.

All for this week. Have a safe week and I'll see ya here next Sunday.

Pizza Hut Delivery to The 'Burg

Good Morning,

I'm salivating I tell you, dribl'n all down the front of me. Why, you ask? Well let me tell ya. It's in anticipation of a delivery being made in approximation to halftime of today's Colts game, compliments of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Beam near Dallas, TX. The Internet is truly a wonderful way to spread good cheer. A Pizza Hut Pizza will be brought directly to me. Ordered from TX, delivered to The 'Burg. Cool, huh? It's been eons since I've had a Pizza. A true Blue honest to goodness Pizza. I can hardly wait. THANKS A HEAP KEN AND VAL!!!!!! MUCHO GRACIAS!!!!!!

Now on to Medical news. You all have previously been told of my trouble sleeping. Well, the night of September 22, a sleep study will be conducted. I've never had one before so I don't know what to expect. I finally broke down and began taking a prescription sleeping pill which helps a little. Still not sleeping the whole night through. Hopefully we'll figure out what the problem is. All I want to do is sleep but can't. :-(

Lee, my friend, I truly appreciate your effort in drawing folks attention to my pending computer woes. And what a woe it'll be too. I can't in good conscience keep the $75.00 you so graciously sent via PayPal. So, I will do one of three things; a) return said funds to you via PayPal. (You would absorb the fee), b) Make a charitable donation to the Non-profit organization of your choosing, or c) Dispose of funds as you desire. Please let us know what you decide. Again, I thank you for your effort.

Be sure to root for the Colts in Week One against Jacksonville. I've abandoned the Reds for the season. They make me ill. see ya all next week.

MRI results are in. Survey says.........

Good Morning, welcome to September,

MRI results are back and the news couldn't be better, NO TUMOR!!! For the first time in my life, I have visible proof that I am tumor-free. WHAT A RELIEF!!!!! Next up is to do some tests to see why I don't sleep much. Facebook couldn't be a factor, could it? :-)

No Reds update this week. I threw away this mornings paper already. D'OH!!!! Don't forget, the Colts play this Saturday, the 12th. GO COLTS!!!!

I must say I am a bit discouraged with The Sunday News. I had hoped for a little more participation. Come on folks, help me out here. Other than Lee, Dee, and Auralee, postings are non existent. It won't be but a few more weeks and I'll sell the presses for scrap metal and leave the blogging to the professionals.

Havea great week everybody and for now, see ya next week.
