    Default Bad Week

    2 deaths in the family, one was my cousin, only 48, healthy, vibrant, she died of breast cancer, and left her 7 year old kid and husband. She lived the healthiest lifestyle of anyone I've ever known, and had access to the best medical care, and her own body killed her.

    The other was my aunt, who died of colon cancer. Same deal. My pop's sister. She was awesome and she couldn't fight it off. My dad's devastated, as are the rest of us, but she was his sister, and he's old. I worry that it will cause him ill.

    And I found out that my uncle has terminal cancer as well.

    This world can be cold.

    What matters besides health? Does anything else really matter?

    My condolences to you and your family. That certainly was an 'awful week.' I hope there is comfort for you dad, your cousin's husband and daughter.

    This sucks beefy. My condolences.

    There's no telling who cancer is going to take. It's like the most insidious disease I can imagine. It cut my brother down, in the prime of his life, and he was a total health freak. Marathon bike racer, organic foods, and all that. It's weird. Cancer is about the worst way to go unfortunately, so the only thing of comfort I can think of, is that at least your relatives' suffering is over. As for the spouses, I hope they seek grief counseling if they need it. Losing a loving spouse in the prime of life, is one of the cruelest fate's imaginable. My sister-in-law was completely devastated, and hasn't ever recovered completely, I don't think. She actually turned to alcohol unfortunately; and chronic depression is a possibility for surviving spouses. So, keep an eye on the surviving in-laws and support them.

    How horrible Beefy.

    Im so sorry you and your family have so much pain to endure this year.

    Life is health and its pretty hard to be happy and move on without your health.

    Make sure you take care of yourself ,eat well, sleep well and remember we all arround here care about you and want the best for your life.

    If they had not taken as good of care of themselfs they may have gone earlier. They would want you and all the family to still try to treat your body right.

    Again so sorry to hear of your pain. Life is so precious.

    I'm very sorry.

    If you have your health, everything else matters. If you don't have it, nothing else does, so it really depends I guess.

    You have absolutely NO redeeming qualities as a human being.

    It can only get better, dude, keep on keepin' on.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Helath and family and friends are the most important things in life. Many think money and status is tops uintil it is too late.

    Support to ya dude, hang in there.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    It really is a heart wrenching disease. As a kid I spent time in the kids cancer ward in Farmington Ct. I lost a lot of friends I made there over a couple years.

    My condolences to your loses.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.
