| The "Welcome Back Lucky" Thread |
| 2004-10-28 |
| For those of you unaware, our own General Lucky has had a bit of trouble with his noggin of late; specifically a brain tumor. He's stopped by the 'Burg for a bit as he convalesces; all y'all stop here in the thread and say "hi"! From Lucky: "Brain surgery chemo, radiation and funky meds. I can use my left hand again, some, but it twits about, hard to hit the shift key. I've got a walker and I can gt in and out of the car, Woo hoo! Wheel chairs, give those folks some crdit. I've missed ya all,I saw angels, no bull, Someday I'll tell you all about it. Global prayers MAN! I'm going to hang out for awhile if my head stays cool" |

| #47 Hang in there, Lucky! I have a buddy in Minneapolis who beat a brain tumor! Fit as a fiddle now. The only permanent damage is he's voting for Kerry! ; -> You're in our thoughts. |

| #44 Did we tiff? Lol! Senility rules! I thought we wuz pals just practicin' for when we get the green light from the General to clean out Berkeley! And General Lucky, well, what can or should a measly private say about The Leader of Lucky's Legions - other than "Yes, sir. How high, sir? Dig the hole and fill it in, yes, sir." I've been lax and lost while he was playing with the nurses. Time to get back into shape! |

| #43 Mark---Looks almost like leftover cumulonimbus mammatus **shudders**, bad turbulence. Lucky---verrrry glad that you are back! Miss your righteous comments on RB. Eat plenty of blueberries, but not enought to s**t like a bear, heh heh. |

| #42 Thanks for all! Cingold, not sure I trust Dr. "we're going in" Nick. Mark, they looked like floating circles of white light, the size of a bagle, about a half dozen. My mom saw them also. |
| Posted by: Lucky 2004-10-28 8:14:28 PM |
| #41 Yea!! Lucky--glad you're back! It hasn't been the same here on Rantburg without you. I remember I was amused when your comment patched things up between me and one of my favorite guys, .com, during our little tiff way back when (You said, "Don't worry about .com. He's just ready.") Thanks. Now you eat your blueberries or I'm going to go on a rant and kick your butt! : ) Love, ex-lib |

| #37 This is turning into a TERRIFIC week... the Sox win the series, NYT/CBS get slammed *AGAIN*, Arafat's (almost) dead, and now Lucky's back at Rantburg! I could go with this trend, yes I could! Welcome back!! |

| #34 I can use my left hand again, some, but it twits about, hard to hit the shift key. And you still manage to do better than some of us here. Get well soon! |

| #29 Lol! Yep - That's my problem, too, JB... For me, Preview is just an annoying additional click betwixt the nirvana of a perfect thought and the reality of a world of shit. Double-heh. ;-) |

| #28 And yes it's good to have armed assistance. Especially when there's a shortage of quality throw Kofi in the Jailhouse Links. The Link shortages' root cause is a lack of NGO funding. The above is the kind of garbage we're stuck with until you come back fulltime Lucky. Remember quality links, zulu time. |

| #24 The rhythm, the patter, the spelling, the utter lack of reasonable puntuation, the raw Joycian syntax, the je ne se quios. Nope - never seen anything like it before, mucky... *recuperative period* I don't think I could take his homepage, lol! |

| #13 Lucky, I don't know you are but I hope you get well soon. I have seen a lot terrible situations in my life. But, "seeing" and "going through" are totally different things and I will leave it that. I wish you the BEST!!!!!! |
| Posted by: Poison Reverse 2004-10-28 4:10:53 PM |
| #12 ROFL!!! Words of experience - though I'm not sure there was anything "medical" about Ship's experience(s)... unless you wanna include his Carlos Castaneda moments... ;-) |

| #9 LOTS of ways to "employ" blueberries. And, in certain venues, blueberries is a vernacular term. |
| Posted by: .com 2004-10-28 4:01:04 PM |
| #8 Glad to see you back Lucky. Have a nice tall stack of blueberry pancakes! Blueberries... Blueberry pancakes.... yumm..... |

| #6 I'm all set, and wouldn't miss it, nope. So far so good Mike. Is Crikey a bloke? |
| Posted by: Lucky 2004-10-28 3:55:07 PM |
| #5 Glad to hear you're still kicking, Lucky. Here's hoping you continue to live up to your screen name in all things medical. |

| #4 Blueberries yasay! |
| Posted by: Lucky 2004-10-28 3:47:59 PM |
| #3 Lucky, do you need assistance in getting to the polls on Tuesday? Or can you vote absentee? |
| Posted by: Seafarious 2004-10-28 3:47:01 PM |
| #2 We've missed your creative comments, Lucky. You keep working on that recovery, and eat lots of blueberries. Blueberries encourage the creation of new brain cells -- and you have a hole in your head that needs to be refilled ;-D. Really, though, it sounds like you are making good progress. Carry on! |
