How about something positive. And post your own positive

[sreader3]

My son graduated from USC in three years and, even better, he has an amazing job that he starts in July! Oh--and I have two kids. My daughter just blew me away with her SAT score so I won't have to use the "side door" for her either and pay half a million to get her in somewhere. They are way ahead of where I was at their age. And I live in Colorado so get to use its awesome hiking trails every day. Life is good.

All kinds of awesomeness! Life is good! Always stuff to complain about but I love hearing these good stories. Congrats to you and your kids. Colorado rocks.

Sounds like a plan!

In the last 2 days I have been to literally 4 SMU ceremonies for my daughter's graduation. She graduated Magna Cum Laude and majored in both Statistics and Economics while doubling up all this year with Masters courses. So in 1 more year (of a 2 yrs program) she will have her Masters in Statistics from SMU...saving mom and dad a lot of money. And she was chosen for a fellowship (nicely paid intern) for her Masters year there at the Bush Institute. It is a proud weekend for us.

Stage 4 cancer survivor and I get to wake up everyday. Remission for about 3 and half years. Loving life, the wife, dog, and baseball cards. Listening to The Monkees on Youtube and playing on Net54 right now.

I hear ya Lou. I had a 25% chance of surviving 5 years, 10 years ago. Didn't worry about it too much. The chips seem to have fallen in my direction. Glad that cardboard isn't a distraction for the important things in life, such as Jonathan Winters on Youtube and blowing my sax like there's no tomorrow, which incidentally is the hope of my neighbors.

Awsome! My pride and joy is celebrating 5 years post chemo this weekend. She survived bone cancer and is keeping her promise to one day dance with me at her wedding. She took a quick trip to Hawaii to celebrate life and sent me this picture yesterday. Her smile speaks a million words and everyone of them melts her father's heart.

That's awesome!!! Back in 1988, I underwent an autologous bone marrow transplant for non-hodgkins lymphoma. At that point it was stage 4 and I was given 1/2 of 1% chance of surviving. I was in a coma for 3 months and was given my last rites 3 times. I've been cancer free for 31 years (just celebrated my 45th birthday) and am thankful every minute of every day for my wife and kids.

Congrats Leon. She no doubt gets some of her wisdom from her father. I rarely fail to be impressed how you arbitrate the petty disputes on this forum.
