I love this cartoonist. She really understands a lot about nationalities and is always amusing.

There are few things less comfortable than being trapped with a Jesus freak. I once worked in a Goodyear tire warehouse where this Jesusfreak named Rene liked to trap people and try to convert them in the elevator. It was a slow elevator. Unless you told him to go to Hell or worse, he would not leave you alone.

He had been there for five years and never won a convert, they told me.

uhm
thats the reason I don`t talk about almost dying last year. Despite I`m already a baptist Alot of ultra -religious types want to recruit me when they know about my face to face with death. this is a new one on me

Which relative of yours told you to turn back it's not your time?

[kimba1]

oh no
nothing dramatic as that
I just had kidney failure and made it to the er in time for them to get it working again. the doctor later told me I could of died that day.
I was awake the whole time. I was soo messed up looking everybody lets me cut to the front of the line at the ER. I took a max dose of morphine for 3 hours before the pain went down another 3 for them to control my Blood pressure 245/133 everyone was freaking out on me.
I can honestly say I faced death and was too stupid to notice him. I was totally clueless that week. It`s kind of humbling to know I could simply be no more. I don`t worry about retirement as much nowadays.

So evangelicals want to recruit you as an example of a walking miracle?

I find that interesting.

People who get instantly ill and then just die, if course, are never seen as miraculous.

I recall that when I first came to Miami, Miami Beach hotels were filled with ancient people. Every hotel had dozens of them in rocking chairs, most of them smoking.

I recall a conversation in which one buddy who smoked saying "See? smoking can't be that dangerous! Look at all those old smokers!, and another who did not smoke said "The ones that died of cancer are no longer here to look at: they are buried underground or sitting in an urn somewhere."

yeah it is quite sobering when it dawns on you that you are mortal.

[kimba1]

sombering and a touch of recklessness. I`m less cautious now. knowing one solid punch can end me in less than a minute kinda makes me want to get into fights. no wonder they tried to push therapy on me.

I`m good ,really I am

I have the same situation going on. They are monitoring it closely.

My doctor has a hard time understanding why i refuse to drink 2 or 1 % milk.

My answer is that quality of life is more important than quantity.

She kinda agrees but has a hard time coming out and saying it.

What's funny is i quit making five year plans ten years ago. So you never know.

[kimba1]

I got less concern for myself and more into what I can do for my family. What little time I might have is focused on making as much for my grand niece college fund. My brother inlaw HAD no concern about his health til she was born and now focusing to see her junior high graduation. high school he says is too much to ask. that little girl is whats keeping this family going.


the real tough thing for me is no more energy drinks. In make stuff at least twice as strong as 5hrs energy. I miss all that power.

[kimba1]

a recent artyicle find most doctors when diagnosed with a life threatning illness will ikely refuse treatment the extend life but doesn`t help with quality of life. they tend to quit thier job and spend the remaining time with loved ones. Fairly opposite how they deal with thier patients.

[Xavier_Onassis]

So energy drinks make you ill?
Most are just shots of caffeine, sugar, guarana and vitamins. Too much can be bad for you, of course.

They tend to be hideously overpriced.

[kimba1]

Don't knw if it makes me ill, but was advised not to take them. The goal is to keep my blood pressure under control and energy shot is not gonna do it
