Wow John, that sucks. I am mostly going to see the sox play. Anything after that is a bonus.I was thinking about driving down around Portland maine for a day trip. I heard it is pretty nice there. Key west is on my list. How would you rate it John? It seems like a really laid back place. Which I would love.

I am a die hard Red Sox fan. Going to fenway park is on my bucket list. I have always been interested in American history. So, what better place than Boston? Thanks Chef, at least this advice is for something good. Is there any hotels anyone can recomend in the back bay? Is a safe area? I will probably be going by myself, so I would want a hotel in a area with stuff for a guy to do. Thanks everyone.

Thanks Fergy, i need to get out and start living. plan on keeping myself busy.Thanks KD in ct Lt. Dan. I will check out the back bay. Sounds like what I am looking for.

I am going to go to a red sox game this year, I know nothing about the city. I would like to stay somewhat near the city with maybe train access to Fenway park. I don't need a 5 star hotel, just a nice place to stay near some attractions near by. I dont mind doing some walking. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

thank you for your kind words and support. My wife and I have been blessed by so many friends and family. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. With the help of my kids, we planned her funeral arrangement. Without there support, I don't know how I would make it through this. My wife was a clerk for one of the judges in my town, she was so loved by them, the chief of police will have bagpipes and police escort for the funeral. She was loved by many.

My wife lost her 16 month battle this morning. She was surrounded by her kids and I. Her last few days in hospice was a real comforting experience. My sweet Beautiful wife is no longer suffering. I will wait patiently until the day I join her in heaven. I am not sure how I will get along without her though. She was not only my wife, but my best friend. This hurts really bad. Thank you so much for your support through this terrible ordeal.

I would like to take a minute and thank you all for your concerns and kind words. They all mean so much to me. My wife has taken a turn for the worse the last three days and her time on earth is almost over. Some day I hope to be a regular member of this board. But for the time being, I won't be visiting much. I may stop in from time to time when I have some down time. I need time to get my heart and head in order. Thank you all, you have been more helpful than you know.

Thank you all for your great advice. There has been so many phone calls, texts, e mails and visitors I haven't had much time to dwell about it. It's just times like now where it is just me and her alone, with her drugged up pretty well that are hard. There are so many kind and caring people on this board, they do help me deal with it easier. Now DCTom, I agree with your grumpy ass 100%. I respect you enough to take your advice to heart. I am not doing the same things when she was hospitalized in december. I go home every night and get some rest. Thank you Tom and everyone else. TBD is the best Bills board in the world.

Thank you all for your kind words. A tumor in her lung is pressing against her vocal chord I was told by the dr. She has lost the ability to speak. What I wouldn't do just to hear her sweet voice one more time. There is a malignet (sp?) mass in her bowels that is causing the blockage. It is inoperable. They said they wouldn't do surgery because her insides is loaded with cancer. They also said, if they could not somehow open the blockage, she could possibly have two weeks. Even if by some miracle they did open it up, she would have maybr two months. I knew deep in my heart that when I called 911 for an ambulance, that she was never coming home again. This question is for someone who has lost a spouse, how do you go on after there gone? I come home to take care of my pets and the house feels so empty. Will the pain ever go away? I watch her laying there, struggeling to breath, watching her waste away.Then I think of all the promises to her these past sixteen months telling her she was going to be ok. I knew they where lies. I never thought it would be so quick. I always thought we would have more time. Please, if you are still reading this. Don't put off that trip, vacation or whatever you and your loved one have been planning to go someday. Because sometimes tomorrow never comes and instead of happy memories, you have a big bag of regrets. Don't make my mistake. Tell your special loved one that you love them. Thank you for letting me vent.

To all my friends on TBD who gave me so much encouragement, I tell you with a heavy heart my wife was given 2 weeks to 2 months to live after her hard fought battle with cancer. would like to thank so many kind folks who gave me so much encouragement. Needless to say, my heart is broken in so many places. I wonder if I could ever put it back together again. I am still holding out hope for a miracle. Thank you once again.

Damn allergies. These cancer stories hit to close to home. Find Damn cure already!!!!!

This is what you need to do Pooj, take all of those indian spices and toss them in the garbage. Then get in your vehicle and go get yourself some good old American food like KFC or something. Just a little advice from uncle westie.

You combine bill belicheat, marsha brady and the refs. Thats a tough combination to beat!

I pretty much napped the day away.

All the snow melted.

I hope it is.

I wish Brady would be late to a team meeting.

oh yeah, we got hit pretty hard.

Thats jboyst highschool nickname. Sausage stuffer.

Who is Chimp Kelly? lol!

Your sausage is to easy to come by mrags.

I remember it well. I was a kid living in the city in Rochester. We lived in a ranch style house then. The snow was higher than the front door. We were unable to get out until our neighber shoveled the front door.

Theres nothing like a steaming hot sausage on a cold day.

Thanks Jboyst, to be honost, I didn't hear about this until yesterday. This is terrible! I sure hope those poor farmers will be able to recover from this disaster. My thoughts and prayers go out to those families. They don't get the respect they deserve. People seem to forget where our food comes from. It doesn't just appear at the grocery store on its own.

I don't know to much about Obama care, but I do know one good thing that came out of it is the out of pocket cap of $4300 starting this year. I wish it was in effect last year, I spent more than twice that amount last year in medical bills. I have learned how out of control the cost of health care is, The dr. office billed the insurance company over half a million dollars in charges, which in turn the insurance company said "no way!" and proceeded to reduce the cost to about half of the charge. I guess there is some contractual agreement between the hospital and the insurance co.
