3. Did you hear about the Lassie dog that loved cantelope?
Edited on Wed May-18-05 01:43 AM by uppityperson
Watermelon was ok, but cantelope, yum. That dog would do anything for a piece of cantelope. The dog's people gave the Lassie cantelope whenever they had any and the dog was really happy when the baby got old enough to eat it because she was always dropping pieces and the dog could eat them off the floor. The baby watched and watched and watched. One day when she was about 5 she finally asked her papa why the dog loved cantelope sooooo much. Her dad replied "it's a melon collie, baby".

Edited to add: forgot the most important part, why I wrote this. I couldn't think of how to make a joke about melon colon baby because it is too late and I need to go to bed.

4. Trust me...
... I was once in the army and have had twenty-three different jobs in my life and am living in the second Bush administration... I've definitely seen my share of assholes. And yours, up close and personal, would be one too many. :P

Cheers.

6. So you take your appeals to Free Republic
I'd bet there are any number of folks over there that would love to know they'd helped any one of the more outspoken DUers get a cold probe up the keester.

Or you could take your issues to Christian Underground. Tell them the image of the Virgin Mary appears in your sphincter polyps.

:7


But there are still more than a few of us who open our hearts and our pocketbooks without concern over whether we're being a sucker, and I'd hope if you ever needed help you would bring your burdens to those of us who care about you.

8. LOL
Hopefully I won't need it, but I think it's humorous that people will complain about how the lounge reacts to trolls then post about a guy's life in GD like he won't be reading it.

I'm more than disgusted with a few people after seeing the threads.

Bingo of the CEN-TUR-Y!!!

10. As I said on another thread
If the beneficiary dies in the near future, there's gonna be a lot of people eating their keyboards or searching their soul if they can get past their egos to find it.

14. But how will they know it's a streaming videos of *YOUR* colonoscopy!
Who's to say you wouldn't hire a body double, a body double with a raging case of colon cancer????

Yes, answer me that, will you!

That naked woman on the table only ***LOOKS*** like you, and meanwhile you are happily sitting by the pool in a Palm Spring resort ordering God Only Knows what kind of drinks and flirting with the illegal alien Mexican towel person.

18. Obviously, in this case, it is Medical Marijuana.
You will soon have the colonoscopy pics to prove it.

19. It caused me to look at a few people in a totally different way.
Astonishing, it was.

But if you ever have a colon issue, you can hang onto the colonoscopy video - I'll be happy to donate without seeing it!

20. Unbelievable.....
Not your post, just my comment on the situation to which you refer.

I'll take your words on your colonoscopy results on faith.

21. When I give what little I can to a cause, I refuse to bitch later....
I stand by whatever idiotic decision I made and suck it up. I truly believe, in this case anyway, there's a whole lot of over-reaction going on.

Keep a good thought for Andy when he goes to the doctor tommorrow......


he's a little nervous, suprise.....and he's hoping this man will agree to be his surgeon. he deserves a good one, and i know you guys move mountains with your vibes, so let's get to it.
if that doesn't work, i'll post the doc's fax number. nahh, i'll PM you with it.

andy is still looking at some very risky surgery, and a couple courses of chemo. so please keep a good thought for him. and if you can help:

https://www.paypal.com /

His Paypal account name is Andy_Stephenson@comcast.net

or:

Andy Stephenson
P.O. Box 25624
Seattle, WA 98165-1124

who don't know and love andy as we do, i'll let will pitt explain:

"If you have followed the push for election reform over the last two years, you have probably heard the name Andy Stephenson. Andy, who worked for a long time with the folks over at BlackBoxVoting.org, has been at the forefront of the fight to make sure that every vote is counted, every vote counts, and that our elections do not become a privatized exercise in electronic touch-screen theft....
snip.......

For the last several weeks, Andy has been suffering through a bout of Hepatitis. The word came down yesterday, however, that his situation is far more serious. "I apparently have a tumor growing around the bile duct where it passes through my pancreas," he wrote. "The tissue sample was consistent with malignancy; it could be benign but I am planning for the worst."

Andy has been out of work for several months; he gave pretty much his entire life to the cause of election reform, which doesn't pay, and is now unemployed, without health insurance and staring down the barrel of major surgery......"

25. Every group has a few asshats...
Fortunately they are atypical here.

Many will fall to i fortune and rue their previous behaviors.

Do have a pleasant rest of the week.

31. There were more threads in GD today?
I just went back to page 3 in GD and didn't see anything, were they deleted?

I'm really way out of the loop on this issue.

33. the problem I think is that bad things happen to all of us
And if we don't know how to handle money issues properly, we are all adults here, and we need to learn.

It is right and proper that a person requesting large sums of money account for that money in proper, legal fashion. No one is exempt from providing proper documentation when asking for charity. No one. We demand that the right be held accountable when soliciting for charity; indeed, David Duke was finally taken down because he made exaggerated claims for funds that turned out not to be based on fact. He took a tiny kernal of a claim -- that he was hurting for money -- and exaggerated it all out of proportion -- for instance, stating that he'd had to sell his house, without disclosing that he'd sold it for a healthy profit.

The people who said they cared about Andy did not care enough to help him get proper legal assistance when raising funds. Their huff and puff on the internet was about bragging about how much they cared. Their actions said they couldn't be bothered to protect him from possible severe legal harm -- even though every member of this site knew for a fact that he had a dangerous and irrational enemy eager to cause him trouble.

I would never solicit for funds without taking very basic steps to protect myself and my loved ones. If others don't care enough to do the same for their loved ones, that's fine, but they should not pretend it is because of any moral superiority.

34. That much is reasonable, but non-physicians parsing his
diagnosis is crap. Many things could have been handled differently but they weren't due to lack of experience on the part of players.
