    Re: Reporting in for duty, Suh'!!!

    A friend of mine in the SCD Demo team I get to practice with asked me if I was going to grow a "Wooffly" Victorian beard. I determined that this must be an official Scottish Country Dancing term for the grand facial hair sported by Victorian Gentlemen (Dudes).


    Cheers

    Glad to see that you are back in circulation, Terry.
    How is your health? – I recall that you had a bad time some months back.
    Regards,

    Thanks Mike.
    I still have my moments with my back, though in the end all the tests couldn't find anything. Since my absence it was discovered that I have a pretty severe case of Barret's esophagus, due to a few years of severe acid reflux. *IF* left uncheck /undiscovered it could lead to esophageal cancer, however a change in eating habits & medication that I'm taking should help keep it in check (prayers & healing thoughts help too! ).
    Thanks again for asking, my friend.

    Re: Reporting in for duty, Suh'!!!

    Here’s hoping and praying that the treatment will work.
    It can be very frustrating when doctors flounder around failing to diagnose a condition (shades of House!).
    A niece of mine has been having a trying time with migraine headaches, and was eventually diagnosed with sinusitis. On the face of it there seems to be no connection, but I suffer from similar headaches (not migraine), and have had some relief when taking sinus medication.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Exclamation Update: New Quarter Begins...

    Well, winter quarter began this past week (Wednesday to be exact) and its already a whirlwind, so just to let you all know that while I'll still be checking in (& keeping tabs on the Aberdeen Shipping Co.), my postings on XMarks may become less frequent for a time.

    I promise however not to completely disappear for two or three months at time like has happened before!

    WOW! Little should I have known as to tempt the hand of fate in my last post (above). Here it is, about two months since my last posting on XMarks!

    Couldn't be helped though, this past quarter was a real bear. There were times I wanted to throw in the towel. When it gets like that I just got to keep my eyes on the prize at the end!

    Well, a slight breather (Spring Break), then back to the grind April 3rd. Its hard to believe that at the end of Spring quarter that 1 year of schooling has gone by (with three more to go!!).

    Anyhow, thought I'd let my friends know that I am still breathing. I hope all is going well with everyone else out there. I'll try and not be a stranger {ahem!}
