Hi! I'm Linksron. Please sign in on my guest book. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
If you want to say something just to me, I'll keep it private. But, I'll assume that it's for public display unless you tell me that it's just for me. Then, it'll be kept as our little secret.
Well, I found out, after I wrote this post, that, while your posts can be kept private, my quotes can't. And I can't respond either. So, just remember that if you want to discuss anything, you can keep it private on the post, but, you'll have to message me in order to get back a private reply. Sorry about that. Just didn't know. Limitations of being a standard member.
Are you cool with that?
I knew that you would.
This Guest Book is free and open. Say whatever is on your mind. I'll answer any/all of them. But, it they're private, I can't answer privately.
If your question is naughty, if gets first response.
If your question is cerebral, I'll think about it.
If your question is physical, I'll act on it after I think about it.
If your question is personal, I'll personally take care of it.
But, what ever you do, do sign in. Tell me about your self, if you please. Tell me where you are from, if you please.

Used to be active on this site. Then, had to check out due to health reasons. Was in hospital and physical rehab center total of 5 months. That was 5 years ago.
At that time, before the health issues, I had some friends here on this site. I'm wondering if any of them are still here and active. I know many of them are no longer on here, but, don't know about all of them.
So, I'm wondering if there is anybody still left who remembers from back in that day? Not really looking for an encounter hookup, but, would like to hear from anybody from that time.
Of course, new people are always welcome at my place. Do drop in sometime and say hello.
Every time I use that phrase, "do drop in", I'm reminded of a bar in the town I grew up in called the "Dew Drop Inn". Always wondered what went on in that place. Please remember that I'm talking about a time when I was, at most, a young . Of course, now I'm older and know what goes on in local establishments such as that one. But, still wish some how I'd been able to visit that place. Think it's gone, now, so even if I went back there, I couldn't find out. Oh, well, such is life.
As I say, Dew Drop Inn... |

I'm wondering why some people who write blogs. never answer, or even respond to, my entry on their blog. It just seems like common courtesy. I responded to their blog. Why can't they respond to my comment. Hell, if even just to say "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard!"
Am I the only one who thinks like that? I kinda don't want them to feel obligated to respond, but, damn. Why does it happen so often. Many bloggers do respond. I don't always get the answer that I was looking for, but, at least they responded.
So, why can't others?

How about a party?

Well, after a long time away from FriendFinder-x due to health problems, I've decided to return. And, to celebrate that, I've decided to give a party!
And, you're all invited!
So, come on, come all. The party will be BYOB and a potluck. So, tell me what you want to bring to the party. It may be just yourself, or, it may be a dish of food. What will you be drinking that you'd like to share? What do you want to do and who do you want to share that with?
Or, who do you want to do? And, will I be invited to that?
The party is at my place. I have many rooms for private "showings" or activities. Bring toys, if you'd like. Bring others, if you'd like. Or, just bring a towel! Your choice.
I'm sure we'll have fun. After all, isn't that why we're here in the 1st place? Didn't you come to FriendFinder-x for some kind of fun? I know I did.

This ole chemo got me down...

I know that this past week, I've been remiss in talking to friends and responding to blogs and email. And, I know that this isn't the usual playful banter that one learns to be appropriate for A.F.F. But, this was the 1st week of my chemo therapy and I really hit me pretty hard. Much harder than I expected in the 1st week. But, chemo is a bunch of chemicals being pumped into my body, so, I guess it shouldn't have come as such a surprise. But, it sure did! The feelings that I've had have ranged from just extremely weak and tired to almost depression. If I had to do this thing alone, without family and friends, many of the friends I've gained here, I can see how people would get very depressed. But, people have been good to me. I'm sure it will continue.
Chemo therapy started on Monday. Continued for 4 days and got taken off of it on Friday. Body feels strange in many places. One thing a little strange to me, they told me to wear shoes at all times. Well, after trying to walk just from the bed to the bathroom in my stocking feet, I can see why. I can feel all of the little bones that make up my feet! It is readily apparent that my feet are a network of those bones held together by flesh and blood. Now, that might not sound so weird, but, it really feels weird! Did not expect that, when they said to wear shoes at all times. Not sure that I'm explaining myself here, even with being off chemo for a couple of days, now, I still feel the effects of it. And, I'm taking antibiotics that give me a buzz. Nurse says that they shouldn't give a buzz, light headed, maybe, but, not a buzz. Well, I get a buzz off of them. And I don't like it! After about an hour to an hour and a half after taking them, I get this buzz. Or, at least, in the morning. I take them twice a day and the night time is just before I go to sleep. So, I'm thinking that the night dosage doesn't come on until I'm asleep. But, the morning one does come on. And, I'm sorry, Nurse, but, it's a buzz! An uncomfortable one, too. But, maybe it just comes with the territory.
So, now I have 2 weeks before chemo starts up again. They do it in 3 week cycles. A week of chemo, 2 weeks without, then repeat. And, eventually, if this is working, radiation will be added to the mix. Nobody said this would be easy. They just said that it's effective. Certainly hope so! Would hate to go through all this just to find out that it didn't work. That would really suck! But, Dr. is very upbeat about it. So is nurse! Have also met some other nice people going through the same thing that I am. So, I'm not going this alone. Family is behind me. Friends are behind me. People I hardly know, some through here and some not, are behind me. I've told people that I have so much support that I can't fail! And, I believe that! |

Actually, I've felt better. But, the responses that I've been getting from friends, and some new friends, here on A.F.F.(am I the only one who doesn't like how the site takes those inititials and expands them into the site name?) has been overwhelming and humbling. I won't start naming people, because, I just might forget one and feel bad about that.
I've gotten emails from people who I've met, I've met people through emails. Same thing with my blogs! The other night, I just signed on for a few minutes to check mail and blogs. An hour later I was still responding to both! People, you are amazing! I tell a few people and I'm inundated with responses! Just amazing. Can't begin to tell you how much it means. Makes me feel special. Makes me feel wanted. Hell, just makes me feel damn good!
This week has been a tough one. Monday, my chemo dr laid it all out on the line. If we didn't do some things now, the cancer just might spread to my lungs. In fact, he expressed worry that it might already have. And that was how my week began!
Wednesday, they put tubes in me. One in my arm for the chemo to be put into my body intravenously. One in my stomach for getting nourishment in my body. Hey, I'm gonna wear a feed bag! Right now, both are just there, but, they had to be done before treatment could be done. Without the one in my arm, treatment couldn't start. The one in my stomach probably won't be needed for a while, but, get it done now. Seems like chemo dampens the immune system and surgery becomes very risky. One point, here. They don't refer to these as "surgery". They are "procedures". Yeah, right. To me, it's a "procedure" when it's done on someone else! When you cut me open and stick a tube through the slit(see, girls, I have a slit, too, now), to me, that's "surgery"! But, WTF! It's done, now. The stomach one still gives me pain. But, with pain meds, I'm handling it. And, they give me a buzz, so I'm a little high after a while. Can't drive, though. Could run into a truck and wouldn't even care! But, my , and a very special lady, have helped my out here.
On Thursday, I had 2 teeth pulled. Had been to dentist on Wednesday, as per chemo dr.s orders. If I had any teeth that even remotely seemed like they could be a problem, get them out now! And start a fluoride treatment. Dentist said the one for sure, and, the other probably would cause problems before chemo was done, so, yeah, pull it, too. They gave me laughing gas and local Novocaine. And, a very pretty dental assistant. Well, the didn't give me her, that was my fantasy while under the laughing gas. She was pretty fine young lady! (No, Nan, this wasn't the one that I lifted her skirt!) Dentist had trouble with the one that was probable. I felt it break off! SNAP! Felt nothing, though. Oh, I felt it break, I just didn't care. Actually, I think they should call that stuff "You just won't give a damn!" gas. I really didn't beging "laughing" at all. Just didn't care. Which is what dentist said would happen. Won't feel anything and just won't care. But, on that broken tooth, he had to remove all three roots individually. I could feel him using grinder and tools to make something to get a grip on to pull them out. Again, just didn't care. (In my fantasy, me and the assistant were getting it on, anyway.  ) Finally, the last root came out. He sat back and relaxed for a bit. I said to him something like "that was a tough one, huh?" He said that yes it was, but, we got it. The other one, the one that really needed to come out anyway, I didn't even feel it come out. He worked on it for a couple os seconds, it seemed. Went back behind me, heard something clink in a metal tray, came back to me and said that we're done. I was surprised and he said that he knew that one would be easier. I said "You got it already?" He smiled and said that it came our real easy. So, now, I've got 2 less teeth. They were both back teeth. I know that eventually, my back teeth will keep coming out. The real problem isn't my teeth. It's my gums. I'm a classic case of that old joke, "Your teeth are fine. It's your gums that have to come out." But, for now, done with them.
So, we get to Friday. Oh, those days, my lady friend took me to the dr/dentist offices. She also did a lot of running around placing meds orders and picking up what she could. On Friday, we thought that I'd be able to drive up to the hospital since it was for just a check up on the arm tube and new dressing on it. But, with the teeth extraction, I'm back on the pain meds and the pain from stomach is more than I was told it would be. So, I can't drive. Well, my comes to the rescue. She'll pick me up and take me there. Of course, she'll have to bring along her , my granddaughter. Like I'm going to object to that! And she did. Got up to the hospital, actually, one of the medical buildings alongside the hospital. Granddaughter fell asleep on the drive and they stayed in the car. I told her where I would be, in case the little one woke up and they didn't want to just sit in the car. The actual appointment went smoothly. While the nurse(Not her, either, Nan! Don't listen to everything Pammy tells you!) was nice and explained to me the maintenance of both tubes. The one in the arm, will be dressed at weekly intervals by them. With my chemo scheduling, that will be scheduled, too. The one in my stomach, she didn't know much about, not her area of expertise. But, that if I had any questions, to just ask the ones that put it in. Since I'd already talked to one and gotten some pointers, figured I'd just play it by ear, then. After the new dressing was put on, she said that she'd see me and that if I had any questions, to just ask. We did talk a bit about how am I going to shower. Seems like I can't until the stomach one heals enough that they remove the bandages. The one on my arm, just wrap my arm with Saran wrap and it should be good. Hmm... going to have to keep a roll of Saran wrap in my bathroom. Wonder how many people do that? Do you? Went out to the scheduling person, a very attractive young lady, and she said that scheduling would happen with my next visit with my chemo dr., which is on Monday. Then, ready to go. Out to lobby and there is my and granddaughter. She's standing holding on to mommies leg. But, she sees me, smiles, says "papa'! At this moment, they could have pulled all my teeth, put 47 tubes in me and I'd still feel good! She just last week started calling me "papa". And I LOVE it!!! 
Well, that's how my week went. Well, that and trying to keep up with emails, chats and blogs. Again, you people are amazing! I'll not you. I love the attention! And, I usually don't like becoming attention grabbing. But, now, I know that I need it. And you have responded! I'm overwhelmed and humbled. I've recruited you all into my support group. My granddaughter is the official leader of that group, though! Others, most of you know who, are very high officials. And, I love you for it. But, the one who calls me "papa" is the highest! Ok with that?
I knew that you would... |

- I Got It
- As requested by my friends..... For those who are on my friend list...I totally have to agree with all of you who say people are getting fake in here. So I gave in and let's see who really reposts this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. It serves to eliminate people who are trying to add "friends" like its a popularity contest in High School. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and repost in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are.. Repost this if you are a friend.. Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "I Got It
I got this in a Network Bulletin. Am I a fake if I refuse to re-post it to my Network? Am I a fake if I think this is a nasty bit of chain mail?
My first reaction was to be pissed off! One of my friends sent this to me? Why?
My second reaction was to post this blog. Let others know what I think of it. Let others say what they feel. But, what if I'm wrong? What if the number of fakes is so large that people feel the need to "out" one and all of them? Is this the right way to go about it?
What do you think?
Should I post it to my Network of Friends?
Should I react at all to this bulletin?
Should I have even made this blog?
Inquiring minds want to know...

As the New Year approaches, many peoples thoughts turn to one thing. BOOZE!!!
What's your drink of choice?
Personally, I like ale. Especially fond of Alaska Amber Ale! But, been know to tip a beer now and then, also. Just prefer ale. Gimme my Alaska Amber Ale and I'm a happy camper.
But, what's yours? What do you prefer? If we don't have it, we'll get it! All you gotta do is tell me.
But, remember, either Drink and Don't Drive, or Drive and Don't Drink! They are out there and they are looking for any who Drink and Drive.
But, if you stop by, and have just one, on the house, I'll call you a cab. All right! You're a cab! Now, what cha want to drink?

When is it time to take down the tree?

Every year I have this question, when is it time to take down the tree?
As a , Mom always made us take down the tree on New Year's Day. To me, that interfered with football! But, there was usually a game that I didn't care as much about as the others, or at half time if I cared about them all. More often the latter rather than the former. At half time, usually of the Cotton Bowl, as it was the earliest and we could get it over with sooner.
Don't remember when I was with my 1st wife. But, I'm sure that our had some consideration about it. Although, he was very young, at the time.
With my 2nd wife, it wasn't her that ever complained if I wanted to keep it up later. But, my always wanted us to keep it up for her birthday. Her birthday is 28th of January! We just couldn't keep a tree up for over a month! One of my regrets is that I never insisted that, at least 1 year, we do an artificial tree so we could keep it up for her birthday, but, my love for a real tree always over came that. And, a real tree becomes such a fire hazard when they dry out. One year I placed the tree in our burn barrel and had my watch me burn it just so she'd know why we didn't keep it up for her. Have you ever done that? Burned your Christmas tree after you took it down? It turns into an inferno that is amazingly hot! But, it only burns for a couple of minutes. It doesn't burn long enough for the trunk to catch fire! But, it is hot! We could feel the heat about 15 feet away from it! She saw what I meant, but, she still wanted the tree kept up the next year. Now that she is married, she talked her husband into keeping the tree up for her birthday one year. Their first Christmas together, I believe. Even she got tired of it! I couldn't believe it! My complaining about the tree still being up! But, she did it and she did it in a small apartment where the tree was using precious space.
So, when do you take down the tree? New Year's? My 's birthday? When is the right time at your house?

Went to a blog. Very interesting blog. Read several comments. All interesting comments. Got down to the bottom and found out that I couldn't comment on it as only friends could comment. Kinda disappointing. Really wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth. Oh, well.
Went to another blog. Title sounded interesting. Couldn't read anything on it as it was reserved for friends. Well, shit! This ain't no fun.
Went to another blog. Kinda interesting, and I could comment, but, read that nobody but people close by would be considered. Wound up not commenting. Tried to comment, saying how disappointing that was, but, turned out like a rant, so I deleted it.
Went to still another blog. Somewhat interesting. People's comments were funny, witty, interesting, sexy, arousing,... So I made a comment. But, found that I really didn't have anything funny, witty, interesting, sexy or arousing to say. But, what the hell, I'd actually gotten to a blog where it seemed like someone might just listen to me. But, it turned out that I didn't know what to say. So, just left a message that I'd been there and found the blog interesting.
Ever get days like that? Ever feel like that? Or is it just me...
Taking another tack... What about people who don't respond to your post? Personally, I love it and miss it when someone doesn't. Of course, I do have a couple of posts out there that they responding by rendering them unreadable by anyone else, but, maybe I was inappropriate to that person or post. But, what about people who just don't respond to your post? Do you miss it when they don't? Or does it matter?
Incidentally, this post is open to anyone, friend or not. Was going to say friend or foe, but, I don't believe that I have a foe on this site. A few friends, but, no foes... Or, if you consider me a foe, let me know.

Had surgery earlier in the week. Prostrate and bladder tumors had been found.
Yesterday, I went to the Dr. for follow up and get the results of tumor testing.
Prostrate tumor was benign! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Tumors in bladder were malignant. BAH, HUMBUG!
But, they got them all and they were not invasive. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
But, these have a tendency to return. BAH, HUMBUG!
Taking meds more than I eat! But, they are helping.
Pain killers are working. Won't go into details here. You don't need that image. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
But, because of the pain killers, can't drive.
Can't drive, can't Christmas shop. BAH, HUMBUG!
Biggest negative? No sex for a month! DOUBLE BAH, HUMBUG!
No alcohol because of pain killers. BAH, HUMBUG!
But, pain killers carry a neat buzz! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
No driving, no alcohol, no sex! Like some lady was going to call me over to her house, ply me with booze and screw my brains out...
But, next month she can...
Sooo, MERRY CHRISTMAS to ME!

Holiday Do's and Don'ts...

Found this on a music email list a few years ago. I've sent it out in one form or another every year since. I love the idea behind it. But, just letting you know that it isn't my creation...
I hate this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced frivolity, but because it's the season when the food police come out with their wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without gaining 10 pounds. You can't pick up a magazine without finding a list of holiday eating do's and don'ts. "Eliminate second helpings, high-calorie sauces and cookies made with butter," they say. "Fill up on vegetable sticks," they say. Good grief! Is your favorite childhood memory of Christmas a carrot stick? I didn't think so. Isn't mine, either. A carrot was something you left for Rudolph. I have my own list of tips for holiday eating. I assure you, if you follow them, you'll be fat and happy. So what if you don't make it to New Year's? Your pants won't fit anymore, anyway.
- About those carrot sticks: Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
- Drink as much eggnog as you can and quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So, drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an egg-nogaholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
- If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
- As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim milk, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
- Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? Remember college?
- Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
- If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. You can't leave them behind. You're not going to see them again.
- Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat? Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
- Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards mate.
- And one final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Reread tips 1 through 9. Start over. But hurry! Cookieless January is just around the corner.
Happy Holidays!
