    Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

    Good afternoon Cafe friends. Had a great fourth, the kids shot off fireworks, we grilled bison (very lean, hard to grill). It was good to be able to spend time with my family, no booze involved.

    Had some good news, the biopsy came back non-malignant. It took so long because it is a very rare type of lesion that will show up every time on an MRI looking like something serious, so the Doc's double and triple checked to make sure that they all agreed they hit the target and agreed on the results. So that's a load off, very happy about that. My wife is now trying to decide what she wants to do, and how this could affect future screenings / testing. Maybe just cut it out, maybe just leave it. It will take a few consults I'm sure before we decide on that course of action, but a much easier thing to think about and talk about than the alternative. My thanks to all who sent thoughts and good vibes our way, we both greatly appreciate it.

    I'm feeling well; confident in my stage of alcohol freedom. I tend to dwell on regret a little too much, replaying embarrassing or negative life episodes over in my head. But, I am also letting that feeling just pass on. It's there, I can't stop it, but I don't have to let it sit and fester. It can move on through my mind like log in a river.

    Anyway, thanks again everyone. 24 more for me please and thanks.

      That's great news about your wife's biopsy results [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION]! What a huge relief for both of you!

      Sitting on the back porch with my coffee listening to thunder rolling through the valley. It's raining hard, and I sure wish that I could send some your way [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION].

      Good job saying no to the booze [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]!

      24 more please...

            That's fantastic news [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION]! Hopefully the pressure is off now on making a decision on what to do with the lump that is there.

            What a beautiful place to view the fireworks [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]! Another reason to love your new home!

            Hopefully things went well at the dentist [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]!

            You can send some rain our way as well [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION] since we are kind enough to send our heat wave to the east lol.

              Another 24 hours please & thank you.

              Awesome news Big Al! Congrats on enjoying the 4th af, proof you can enjoy life without booze.

              Glad my “men suffer more” comment brought you a good laugh Rava! I once asked a nurse, after a minor procedure performed by her husband/doctor, if I could get a note for a week off work. Having heard my men suffer more comment, she said she could arrange a wheelchair if I wanted!

              Off to a medical appointment for Mrs QW this morning, first of several this month. At least we’re close to her doctors and don’t have a 45 minute drive each way like we used to.

              Great photo Ginger! Thanks for sharing. Techie, congrats on the house decision.

              Have a great af Tuesday everyone.

                [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION], that is fabulous news! Yay!!! Great job staying AF through that.

                [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], how's the tooth? I always say, I don't mind the dentist, I just hate the bill! Dang, that work is costly. Work is much cheaper in AZ because they have to compete with Mexico doctors/prices. In Mexico, it's usually 10% of what it is in the US but of course, they don't pay the costly malpractice insurance like US docs do.

                Busy day today. Happy to be doing it unhung. Hope everyone has an easy day! 24 more!

                  Good morning Cafe friends and men who suffer. Such wonderful news [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION]. Congratulations. I had the worst golf outing yesterday. It was the heat. Next week I will bring an extra liter of water w/ electrolytes. It is going to be extremely hot the next ten days. Over 100 f. So, as I sit in AC bliss it’ll be another 24 for moi. Have a great day folks. Blessings x

                    Late check in for me! I had to take Mr. D to a medical procedure very early this morning which threw me off.

                    Thanks for all the dental well wishes. All is well. I have a new crown and it is great! Lots of numbing ahead of it so I was OK. You may all now bow when you post to me and refer to me as 'queen'!

                    Such great news BigAl!

                    24 more please and thank you.

                      Good evening Cafe Friends. It sounds like everyone is busy weathering storms, enjoying coffee, and generally staying busy. I had an early meeting this morning that went into early afternoon. I must say that it felt so very good to be clear headed and on top of my work.

                      Tonight is a coffee roasting night. We ran out of the good stuff this morning and had to make a pot out of the "back up coffee" from the store. Ugh. I hope everyone had a wonderful day today. It is a blessing to be AF. So, 24 more for me please and thanks.

                        [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], how do you manage to golf in 100+ degree weather! I'd melt by the first hole!

                        Another stormy, hot day today. I'm starting work with a new client this morning, and I sure hope that she has air-conditioning!

                        I'm in for another AF day!

                              Big Al, I too would like to learn about your coffee roasting procedures. We support a local roaster but would love to be able to roast our own. Agreed, store bought, commercially made coffee is best for emergency back up!

                              Have a great af Wednesday everyone!

                                Good morning and happy Wednesday. Queen Dill I love that name!!! It sounds like everyone in here is doing well. I too am on the mend but convinced that I recently had the Delta Variant of the Covid 19. Scary, very scary. They don’t test for that particular variant. Wow. Makes me not want to go out in public. This whole covid thing is like bioterrism like we read in movies. With that said, I hope everyone has a great day and stay safe. No stinking drinking for me. That’s the last thing I need right now. Another 24 please.
