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.

Insomnia effects

Good Morning,

I'm writing this during Halftime of the Colts/Lions Preseason game. Colts on the losing side of a 10-7 score. Lucky to be down only by three. I fear a disappointing year upcoming for them. I've revised my thinking a couple times recently but will stick with this opinion. Ugly times ahead.

What do I do to pass the time away here at The 'Burg? Simple Computer, and thank God for it. Will be a crisis of epic proportion when it decides to crash. I hate even thinking about it. Most of the time is spent on facebook applications. Farm Town, Farmville, FARKLE, Backgammon, Mafia Wars, and my latest addiction, BINGO. I'm up most all night, every night on one or the other of these. I'm only sleeping from roughly 10:00 p.m. to 12;30 a.m. I can't stay asleep. I end up doxing during the day. Awful having days and nights mixed up. Feel like I'm on the midnight shift again.

Time to go finish watching the Colts game. I suppose I'll wake up with two minutes remaining. Oh, and another loser of a team, the Reds. A respectable 5-5 during their last Ten, but remain a distant 17.5 games behind the Cardinals and 1.5 games ahead of the bottom feeding Pirates.

Countdown to the MRI results. Another issue keeping me awake nights. See ya next week.

Clerical Error

Good Morning,

I was only off on my estimate $467.00. Total cost for the MRI is a staggering $2,267.00!! Oh well, that's why we have insurance. I won't mention "Obamacare" this week like last. I stay away from Political banter. I leave that to Danno, Ken, and Will.

I mentioned having an inkling how the MRI will turn out. I'm predicting a tumor will show once again, pressing itself against the brain causing the current aggravation of the same issues. As well as a few new ones. We'll see on the 4th. I'm gearing up mentally for surgery #5.

Next week I'll give you a rundown on my daily schedule. No, I don't send the kids off to school, nor do I head off to work. My schedule is nothing like that. Tune in next week, you'll see and truly laugh out loud. I'd start it now but I'm pooped. Make a few chess moves then it's off to bed. Have a great week everybody and I'll see ya here next Sunday.

The $1800 nap

Good Morning,

Well, it's Saturday evening and all is quiet here at The 'Burg. The only thing I have to relay is the MRI appointment was last Wednesday. Takes longer to get me inside the van than it does to drive across the street to the hospital. Coulda walked quicker. Okay, maybe not.

Now I'm a bundle of nerves until it gets read at my next Neurology appointment, which is September 4 at 10:15 a.m. Mark your calendars and cast a few prayers, or positive thoughts, my way. Any and all will be greatly appreciated. I must say though I have an inkling how it will turn out. Just hope for the best.

Your weekly Reds update: They're 5-5 their last Ten, 14 games behind the Cardinals. (Hold your applause, Bryan) Cubs have fallen to 4 back, but who cares? Reds are 4.5 games from the bottom-feeding Pirates. Stay tuned, the race for futility is heating up. See ya next week.

New Dr. in the food chain

Good Morning,

Neurology appointment was last Friday Morning. It went as how I had perceived it. It was basically a meet and greet session. We discussed my NF History as well as my current issues. He did a not so thorough once-over and simply said "MRI". So, between now and my next appointment I get a $2800 30 minute nap. Thank God the Obama Coverage hasn't kicked in or who knows what would occur. I'm not 100% certain the remnant's of the 2ND tumor have been completely removed. Needless to say my anxiety level is increased. Looking forward to viewing the MRI.

Reds update: 2-8 in their last 10. Places them 11.5 games behind the Cardinals and Yes, Da Cubs. 1.5 games ahead of the bottom-feeding Pirates. Can we stay out of the basement? Stay tuned.

All for this week. Catch ya all next Sunday. Stay safe....

Sunday August 2, 2009

Good Morning,

I am presently engrossed in a Reds game so this will be short an sweet. Just checking in with everyone to let ya know I am still around. The Burg is still here, running like a well oiled machine.

I'm still heavy into Backgammon, a little Chess, Mafia Wars, Farmville, Farm Town, and of course FARKLE. So my days are now full. :-) Oh, and I am keeping up on my reading, although I have slacked off substantially. Time to get back to the game. Have a great week everyone and I'll see ya next Sunday. Time now for the weekly Reds update:

1-9 in their last 10, 9.5 games behind the Chi-Town Cubs? What's up with THAT?!? The Apocolypse is near. 2 games in front of the Pirates who are bottom feeding. Who knows, we may be the Legion of Futility by next week. GO REDS!!!! See ya....
