I shared my double cancer diagnoses

and wanted to thank every one for your warm wishes and also reports of your own prostate and bladder cancers. It is uplifting to know that things like this can be cured. I am so thankful to all of you, and am thankful for all the hearts you have bestowed on me. I am profoundly moved...however from now on please save your hearts for those who do not have any...perhaps a heart from some one will totally make their day and lift their spirit. You all have surely lifted mine...please carry that forward to others. In Gratefulness Mike C

Really wants attention now

He’s definitely one of the more nasty DUmmies, but he should know better than to ask that group for prayers.

It's hilarious when a DemonRat, especially a DUmbAss, claims someone is lying or acting like a child. Is it hypocrisy? Is it delusion? Is it the complete lack of any intelligence whatsoever? Yeah, probably.

Posts such as this are why we watch the DUmmies. Pure comedy gold.

Well, my husband just got laid off

with two weeks' notice. He's one of 500 people being let go.

In some ways it's a mixed blessing. The job is so high-stress that I've worried he could have a heart attack. He works late nights, weekends, holidays. Last night he worked past 4 a.m. At least he's been able to work from home in recent years. Last year he couldn't even take time off for a vacation.

His employer contracts with the federal government. He has a top secret security clearance and manages databases for two US government agencies. When there's a government shutdown, his job is mission-critical so he has to keep working. He's been there about 13 years as a senior Oracle DBA. He was planning to retire after he turns 70 this fall.

Stress on a job isn't unusual. Especially if you're in a job where you have to deal with DemonRats. At the place that I worked before going into business for myself, I worked about 55 hours a week. I did get two weeks paid vacation each year; however, if something went wrong while I was on vacation, I was usually called to come in to deal with the issue. When I went into business for myself, the stress increased as did the hours worked. I haven't had an actual vacation since 2010.

Now that he doesn't have to work so many hours he will have time to get laid
