Yes my OCF family, this is it, my 1000th official post. As of this post I have shared 1000 priceless, deep, meaningful, insightful, amazing bits of wisdom (and or BS, as an American we can never tell judging by our political leaders...) on these forums. For that you are welcome or I am sorry, whichever may be applicable in your case.

I have shared my ups and downs, joy and pain etc, etc...but more importantly I have shared your experiences as well and those have helped guide me through this crazy maze we call cancer. I have made so very many friends on these forums, people I truly care about...amazing to think I've only actually met two in person yet through these forums and Facebook I've been able to connect with many of you.

It is my goal to meet more actually in the years to come. I am planning to go to OCF sponsored awareness walks across the US just to meet more of the amazing people who make up these forums. This special oasis on the web that has brought so many of us comfort and guidance through our journeys. It is my hope that more members on these forums take up the torch and help to raise awareness like Susan Lauria, Elizabeth Sikon, Cathy Carpenter and so many others. I hope to meet those gals someday along with some of my other heros on these forums like Charm, DavidCPA, ChristineB and EZJim.

Anyways that's all the BS...err...wisdom I have for you today as the antihistamines are kicking in. Somewhere I've been in contact with something that doesn't agree with me and I'm covered in hives to where my eye is swollen shut. If I seem more delirious then usual we'll blame it on the drugs. Prescription and OTC this time

Live life, be well
