My brother came down with an odd one called retenites pigmentoza and went blind is his early twenties. Then about a year ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, out of the blue. They said that the double hernia that he still has, is causing problems for sure, but not some of the symptoms he was having. So, my brother went through some wicked chemo, and on my birthday this past February was said to be cancer free, which I understand means his cancer is in remission. However, this week is his 4th round of chemo since he was found to be cancer free, as preventive. Soon here, he will go through another petscan, they want two successive petscans that show no growth or spread of cancer. Then he will begin some sort of maintenance that will continue throughout the rest of his life to prevent the further spread of cancer. Now, another problem that he is having, besides his still double hernia, is the nerve damage caused by the chemo, nueropothy that doesn't seem to be correctable. He can no longer feel his feet and at least fingers.

I've been blessed. My only problem is that I have type 2 diabetes by choice. I'm over weight, and know it. I could lose 50 pounds and never deal with low level diabetes again. The warnings are there. Keep playing with fire, and just might get burned. I'm a type 2 diabetic by choice. My brother, and others like yourself did nothing to earn your fates, and I on the other hand, bought and paid for mine. Doesn't seem fair does it? I have to hope that he has plans for you, good plans, while when I get to the pearly gates, St. Peter will slam them in my face and and laugh hysterically as he hands me a note from god that says, "I.O.U with extreme prejudice". And you want to know something? I would be perfectly happy with that, so long as he lets you guys and women in.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
