    Surgery Monday Morning at 8:30AM

    So, I report on Monday morning to the Camden, SC hospital for a cholesystectomy!


    FINALLY! of joy!

    Tim, if I die, you have to mentor my kids about life decisions. I'm serious. I'm not fishing for "you'll be okays" here. With my dad and my grandpa dying recently, the worry is there for me. I don't expect to die, but I wish that my dad had written out a few things, told certain people things, etc. before he died.

    If you're the praying type, I could use them; if you're not the praying type, keeping this complete stranger in your thoughts and positive vibes pushed my way can't hurt.

    Now let's just hope that Lingo isn't a prophet.

    Consider yourself prayed for.

    Best of luck, friend. Get better soon, dammit.

      Good luck man, I have no doubt you'll come out fine. And know, should I be wrong, that I'll be more than happy to help Tim since he hates kids.
      There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

            I have mixed feelings about this, as physical and mental torment have led to superb artistic achievements (Ode to Joy, Starry Night, BYU 24 Michigan 17, etc.) from others, and I assume have been a prime source of inspiration for Wuap's best work in the past. Will relief from the agony reduce Wuap to journalistic mediocrity? I guess I'm willing to take that chance and will send up sincere petitions for his well being. We'll all look forward to a favorable report early next week, but will watch warily for a drop off in quality in the months ahead.

              Despite the amusing image that conjures, I still wish Wuap the best.

                  I look forward to your return to the board after Monday with great anticipation. I will pray the experience doesn't dull your great wit.

                    The board elders have spoken Wuap, you must cancel this surgery. We just can't take the chance.

                      I'm happy for you wap. Now just take your laptop to the hospital and logon right after your surgery. A few posts while the surgery anesthesia is wearing off would more than compensate for any future loss of creativity.

                          Don't forget to save the organ! Have your kids eat a big bottle of pickles beforehand so you can have some pickle juice to put it in.
                          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                          Dig your own grave, and save!

                            I don't think our relationship is at that stage yet.

                              Good luck, wuap.
