Men are such complete wimps when it comes to having their prostate gland checked yearly if they are 50 and above.My friend Bob and I had similar symptoms three years back,frequent nocturnal urinination.I had the fickle finger of fate exam leading to more conclusiver tests other than an enlarged prostate gland.

Bob chose to ignore those symptoms and blamed it on old age and BHP.I had my cancer diagnosed and treated while Bob still was lying to himself.I was in and out of the procedure room in a little over an hour as I chose the Thera Seed treatment where they implanted 53 radioactive seeds the size of rice grains in my prostate through the perineum.I resumed normal activity in 24 hours while Bob was beginning to suffer from increased symptoms.

Two years later I was still cancer free and Bob had his first rectal exam which quickly led to further examination and eventual treament by freezing the area and hopefully killing the cancer cells.My cancer metatisized to my rib cage but  we caught it early enough that chemo therapy was sufficient to stop it in it's tracks.My friend's cancer spread throughout his body to his ribs,femur and lungs.He is a shell of what he once was,waiting for the cancer to win out and take the rest of his life.

My story is not about Bob or me,it is about men having those prostate exams yearly after the age 50 and following up on the diagnostics.Nobody wakes up in the morning and says,"Dang ,this is a beautiful day,I think I will go have a finger stuck up my rectum".That simple test will tell your doctor if something is not right and needs to be examined further.It may save your life and terrible pain and discomfort.Almost every man will have prostate cancer by the time he dies but in some it  rears it's ugly head early and is aggressive.A simple checkup will prevent any fears of having the dreaded ,"Big C".

OK!Let's Attempt Something:It's 2:25 or 1425 hrs,06/29/2008

Just to see if peace on the blogs is possible,I am willing to stop all negative posts and comments,at least for the time being.Let's see if others are as willing to overlook small petty trite things that might otherwise be used as fuel for the fire.

The Sick Game Of One-Upsmanship

Defined as:

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)

the art or practice of achieving, demonstrating, or assuming superiority in one's rivalry with a friend or opponent by obtaining privilege, status, status symbols, etc.
  
Gbayemporium is involved with playing a game of one-upsmanship with blogers regardless of the content of his hateful,vicious message.He cares not for the feelings of others as long as he can stroke his frail ego.
 
Most of you have seen such  pieces of hate like accussing saenzmom of neglegently burnng her son when the truth was so far from  his vile accusations.It goes on and on with him needing more and more of his sick fuel to make him feel superior in a lonely spiteful world surrounded by piles of CDs.
 
Have you ever stopped to thiuk that he is on the blogs continually  except to sleep during the day.At least I have an excuse of being house bound for the most part.
 
If any of you stand by and allow this to happen you are as guilty as is he just by your apathy and lack of involvement.You are watching your blogging  frinds being verbally raped in the street while you  watch from the alleys and windows,peering out from behind closed blinds.

Having been single for seventeen years now i have become accustomed to certains benefits.My last years of marriage resulted in having spinal surgery for corrective attempts at spinal stenosis.I felt so good immediately after the surgery that I didn't need to take any pain meds other than Tylenol.And I checked out of the hospital 4 days earlier than what they would have liked.

Upon arriving home,my then wife felt so empathetic that she stated that I didn't need to lower the toilet seat as it was difficult to bend.Well folks,I am pleased to announce that it lasted only one night and after hearing,"*(%!#@%^&&* accompanied by a loud splash eminating from the dark recesses of the bathroom,I knew I was doomed once again to my time in hell.

Now that I am King of my realm,emperor of my domain and Commander of the Commode,my toilet lid has not been at the down position except for out of need situations and then it promptly gets raised to its proper level accompanied by a 21 gun salute for every man alive.So ye men of all nations,rise up in one accord,for equality in the powder room,not that any red blooded man would admit to using the "powder room".

Demand that the commode seat be left up an equal amount of time and if you have company over,demand also that they return the seat to its prior position.Together we will right this eon long wrong against manhood.

And for God's sake rip up that sign:

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle,
be a sweetie, wipe the seatie."

Well,You're A Doody Head!!!

The Bible,One of The Most Influential Books of The Last Two Millennia

The Bible as Philosophy

 

"As with any other subject that people are passionate about, religion has its reactionaries who subconsciously categorize interlocutors into generalized positions. There are Christians who will infer from your lack of belief in Christianity as a whole that you think everything Christian is necessarily false, bad, or useless. This is, of course, a logical fallacy.

If we consider, for the sake of argument, that Jesus of Nazareth was not divine, but rather just an influential man with a unique philosophy, what are we to make of The Bible? On the face, we can easily see that The Bible has been an extremely influential book over the course of the last couple millennia. It has guided monarchs, captains, housewives, and terrorists alike. The answer to the question of whether or not The Bible has value should be plainly obvious. An enormous amount of value has been derived from this collection of works along every step toward the development of Western civilization.

At this point the distinction between the believer and the nonbeliever can be drawn. The believer, in general, thinks that The Bible represents divine truth and embodies a supreme infallibility, whereas the nonbeliever may simply concede that it has philosophical value. It seems reasonable to claim that The Bible has a great deal of potential value when applied to the betterment of an individual or a community. The nonbeliever might say that it is akin to some of the great Greek classics — purposeful fiction with the goals of teaching lessons or leading by example.

Seen in that light, The Bible looks like an interesting object of study for the religious and non-religious alike. Too often the lines are blurred between nonbeliever and vehement oppositionist, leaving religious followers ill-equipped to have productive and insightful discussions with someone who happens to arrive at a different conclusion and who perceives different value from the same object. It would be nice to see a widespread decrease of reactionary and presumptuous judgments by all parties involved."

A pig'll jiggle if you act like it's mummy.
But a pig'll giggle if you act like a dummy.

Wazz Up,Pup?

Chorus:

What can I say that can make you more dear?

When I was in need you were always here.

In my heart you're always near.

That's what you mean to me.

 

My eyes fill with tears,

When I look back through the years.

You've  erased all my fears.

That's what you mean to me.

Refrian:

You're warm fuzzy whazits,are there just because it's

So  sweet that my  mind is so clear.

You wiggled,I giggled,I laughed til I jiggled

At your antics that  filled me with cheer.

Chorus:

People  stare ,they can certainly jeer

At the love that is more than just mere

A fickle, a trickle thought to endear.

That's what you mean to me.

THESE ARE GREAT Sayings

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

'Chicky Poo'

Photobucket

Chorus:

You're my little Chicky Poo.

In chicken talk means I love you.

No one in this world will do

That's what you do for me.

 

My heart is yours completely true.

Just do that little thing you do.

Let's show the world how chickens woo.

That's what you do for me.

Refrain:

Let's mix together our feathers,shuffling the Chicky Strut.

We can shout to the world and no body cares,we're just a couple of nuts.

So give me a hug,we'll be snug as a bug,and we'll shimmy our feathery butts.

Chorus:

You're my little Honey Pie,

No one needs to ask me why.

You make me want to fly.

That's what you do to me.

Yes,It's True,I Am A Troubadore and A Minstrel

Photobucket

My secret is out,I play a guitar as well as a banjo,ukelele and a zither.I have an immense repertoire of music specializing in folk music.And the shame of it all,I enjoy performing before other people and have done so all my life beginning on a trainride to Texas when I was but four years old.I sang for the passengers and I was paid handsomely with pennies.nickles and dimes.But in those days a penny was worth a trip to the proverbial,"Penny Candy Counter".

Photobucket The title of this optical illusiuon is,"Thingy",Go figure

Now for the coup de grace.What instrument do you play  especially after the 'creative' juices flow freely emanating from the heart or groin such as it may be?
