I was thinking about this thread the other day and could have sworn I saw him post. It wasn't until Deface posted this morning that I realized I was confusing this Mikey with the one that is 4dacats. Thanks for the legwork Daface and RIP, Mikey23545. [Reply]

I got along with him really well. I stayed out of D.C. But we had some really nice conversations over the years.

Everyone I've ever met IRL is top notch. As good as it gets. Without exception. I've determined that if someone is willing to meet face to face and probably do anything regarding real life, they're good people. [Reply]
There should a thread so anyone with a serious medical condition can post their condition so everyone can keep up with them & give them support.
I just got told tonight that a former co-worker & good friend has pancreatic cancer. He seems to be taking it well but that's a death sentence & I know he must be going through dark thoughts right now.

Yeah it sucks. It's what my mother had. She got the best care she could; went to see Dr. Evans at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee and had the Whipple procedure done, but it was a bit too late as there was already some cancer they couldn't detect in her liver. She died about 6 weeks after that surgery. If your co-worker has caught it early enough and it hasn't metastasized around the blood vessels yet, then I'd strongly suggest that he/she contact this team in Milwaukee ASAP. [Reply]
