My tribute to my friends on DU

As my surgery date approaches,I have been reflecting on the effect DU has had on me.I joined DU when my son was on his 2nd tour in Iraq.Du has seen me through that,and all that it entails.DU saw me through my dad's illness and death.DU saw me through my failed marriage and relationship.And DU will see me through this.As crazy as it sounds,I feel a connection with many of you-especially since there is no one near me that is even mildly progressive.As my tribute to you,I offer this beautiful video.Thank you for your friendship.

I know your surgery will go well. Listen to your doctor about taking it easy after the surgery and things will be fine.

We'll all be there with you. :grouphug:

That's a beautiful video!

You don't know me, but I feel as though I know you from reading some of your many posts over the years.

Please accept my wishes for your success with your upcoming surgery. I hold you in my thoughts and prayers and hope and have faith that all will turn out extremely well for you.

Thank you for the beautiful video clip - it's beauty and inspiration brought me to tears.

Love, prayers, and best wishes to you for your surgery and beyond.

First it was rheumatoid arthritis that hit me like a ton of bricks, burning up with fever and barely able to move. Next came diabetes like a 1-2 suckerpunch. Many are the times I wish the aches would go away and let me just be normal again, craving even six straight hours of sleep without waking up. It's not fun, but I'm just lucky that as a Federal Civil Servant I have adequate health insurance. And it angers me that millions of people in this country STILL are forced to go without it. That is why I'm still fighting with California One Care to pass single payer again. I'm not going to stop until Arnold is out of the way and that steroid junky can no longer prevent the will of the people. I won't give up the fight. Not when it's this close to a win. I won't give up. I will not stop until everyone in California has access to world class health care.

"Give yourself whatever gifts of time and rest you need to feel better - and know that you're surrounded by caring thoughts and prayers and heartfelt wishes. Rest easy. Get well."

Thank You for that awesome video. I loved it. It hit the spot.
If you can, request that your surgery team say only positive comments while you are unconscious. Tell them you want your sub-conscious to get to work on healing ASAP, STAT.

I believe in prayer, wishing, manifestations and miracles and the good ol'placebo effect.

Ba Ba Ram Das says when we close our eyes we are in the room with everyone. We are all here.

Some of the kindest and well wishingest people in the United States are sending you love and healing.

God Bless You
and God Bless DU.

PHIL: This first slide here shows Madge and Bill standing right there in front of the New York Space Authority building, ready to start our trip. You can tell it was a pretty nice day on account they're not wearing any protective clothing except for goggles and a mask. The old guy got hit by our taxi–that was some wild driver we had–and the kid's playing a trick on him. Cute, hah?

MADGE: If he hadn't of done it someone else would of. CLICK.





PHIL: Now this here was some lucky shot. I was going to take a picture of Billy there, when this guy steps on the Hijacker Sentinel and pow, huh? What I mean is it really got him good. I asked why it done it and they said it was on account of he looked suspicious and if you study the expression on his face you can see how they got to wondering about him.

MADGE: It turned out he didn't have no gun or bomb or anything.

PHIL: Look, all they can do is the best they can and I'm glad they got those things up there protecting us, anyways. CLICK.





PHIL: Just a day out from Mars they announced everybody had to come and see the indoctrination lecture, and I hadn't been looking forward to that. It was something those stiffs at the United Nations had whipped up to teach you all about the Martians' customs and way of life and even their goddamn religion, for Christ's sake. But then I saw it was our social director, Earl, going to do it, and I relaxed right off.

MADGE: That Earl!

PHIL: You see, those UN creeps had given Earl a whole bunch of pictures and graphs and stuff he was supposed to teach us with, and I guess they'd bust a gut if they ever saw what he done with them. Here he is pretending to explain the sex life of a Martian; can you beat it? Only they don't have no sex life on account of they haven't had any babies in thousands of years. He sure had us all laughing. CLICK.





PHIL: Right at the space port they got these weird Martians trying to sell you pots and statues and stuff. Nothing but a lot of junk, if you ask me. Anyhow I was taking a picture of one of them when Billy did this here. It's a good thing those Martians can't talk or this one here would have really given the kid a couple of bad words I bet you.

MADGE: It's not that they can't talk, it's that they've taken an oath of silence. Don't you remember the joke Earl made on that, honey?

PHIL: Well, anyhow, the way that stuff broke up, he had a nerve trying to sell it. CLICK.
