Allan Bell Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 3 hours ago, Betty LaRue said: Bad news for me yesterday. My niece’s cancer has spread & she won’t survive it. She’s less than 10 years younger than me. As the youngest of three girls, I never had a baby sister, so my niece filled that spot. As a teenager, I often brought her to spend a day & night with me & spoiled her rotten. She’s the oldest of 5 & the only girl. She loved my attention & remembers to this day how much fun we had together in spite of her being 4-6 years old at the time. My sister said when I brought Pam home from being with me, she was insufferable for a couple of days! She’ll come home from the hospital in a couple of days & have Hospice (end of life) care. She lives a couple of hundred miles away from me. So sorry to hear your bad news Betty. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Currently without my desktop PC, it's away being diagnosed and, hopefully, fixed. Then the power supply to the laptop failed, so a computer free zone. Forced to watch TV, and, God forbid, read a book. But, managed to fix the power supply, so have some browsing capability. Currently listening to The Folk Show as I type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she was already stage 3 when it was discovered. Catching it early is so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stage two when my cancer was found and I am 23 years cancer-free after a difficult year of treatment and recovery. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Not really bad news, but inconvenient and expensive. My desktop computer has been pronounced life expired and needs to be replaced. It sometimes starts without a problem, but sometimes I just get a pair of blank screens and need to restart it. The guys at the computer shop reckon that the graphics card is running way too hot and that they can't get replacement parts for such an old machine. It's served me well, so I can't complain too bitterly, but the thought of setting up a new machine, navigating Adobe's site, reinstalling my aged software, transferring my LR catalogue etc fills me with dread. A job for next week methinks. Edited March 6 by Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family told me I looked poisoned. And I was. But so were the cancer cells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
