i might have a few stories here and there about Kelsey...i hope i'll be indulged...this one feels like it just has to be shared...before Kelsey came along, there was my wife's yellow naped amazon from pre-WU days...it's name is Kiwi (i call it "it" because we can't figure out its sex!)...Kiwi has a habit of saying "bye-bye" in a sing-song voice a few times before we both leave the house...it recognizes the signals of gathering keys, shutting windows and shutters, gathering jackets or hats...Kiwi also became adept at mimicking my wife's call to Kelsey for his dinner or his walk...it calls "Kelsey" in a sing-song voice followed by a whistle or two...my wife says that on Sunday, Kiwi called out for Kelsey a few times then said good-bye a few times after that...it nearly broke my heart to read the texts that she was sending me (i was out of the house at the time)...i know it may be coincidence that the bird put those phrases together like that, but i like to think Kiwi was actually saying goodbye...these guys turn us into sentimental old fools...

Wow, that's awesome! [:)]

Here's one that I expected Leo to find:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/19/us/ohio-a ... 1&iref=NS1

That's about 40-50 miles from my house. Got my camera ready just in case. [:D]

Morning Guys, well I am back from my hospital check-up.

I am deeply humbled by the posts of support from you chaps, and thank you all very much (even T, my grammar teacher). My Oncologist is very happy with my progress, the latest tests show that the tumor is still dormant, and that it is not producing any more nasties at all. He is so confident about my condition, that he does not want to see me till February next year.[8D]

But the Chemo injections, and other dugs have to continue at the high dose that I am taking them, so the down side is the side-effects will continue. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, as the side-effects are no-where near as bad as what the tumor was doing before I started treatment.[;)]

I did admit to my Specialist, that the only side-effect that really annoys me is the one that effects my eye-sight. The problem is that some days for up to six hours, I get blurred vision, and the lose the ability to focus my eyes. This I told him, means that I cannot do my E-mail operational wargame turns (AE-PBEM).[:(]

But the prognosis looks good, and I am going to be around for a few more years (PBEM-turns). So I am a lucky boy (touch wood), as I have dodged the bullet this time. I have a second go at life, so I'm going to make the most of it. [:)]

Thanks again Guys, and have a nice day, cheers Des.

Edit: Now I am going to have a nap, as I am shagged, see you later.[:D]
