Hey John, I may have missed it, how is your dad? I sincerely hope all went well. You guys are in my thoughts. BTW my mom is in rehab and they believe she got treatment before any permanent damage occurred. She still has a long road but she is a strong woman and my brother and father are taking classes on how to take care of her when she gets home. Again John please let us know how your dad is doing.

Re: Cleveland Metal

Hey bro, thanks much for having us in mind!

My dad went through the surgery last Friday very well, and is doing fine. Might even come home tomorrow or Saturday.

They had to replace what turned out to be a defective part in his knee replacement he had last summer. It was never right and caused him a lot of pain for a year and they blew him off all that time. Finally once they opened it up, they found it was faulty and replaced the bad part. Sigh...

He may even go for the other one if this works like it should. Scary stuff actually as he has a lot of health issues. Quintuple bypasses, artery disease, Diabetes, had mini strokes etc, and plastic veins in his legs that they say are a major problem for them when they're doing those total knee replacements. Easy to lose a leg they said. Always a huge worry when he's in the hospital for stuff.

Nonetheless, all went well. Thanks for asking man! Been a great week. He did good, and my recently ex-fiance and I are working things out it seems. Maybe things are looking up a bit here...

Awesome to hear about your mom, glad to hear they got to her in time before much damage was done. Strokes can be so debilitating. So glad it is better than it could have been. Much positive energy your way bro!

Re: Cleveland Metal

I'm throwing all my magick in the air for both of you guys..

Jack it is awesome to hear that your mom is a strong woman with you guys to help and support her...I wish her the very besy...and to you ...I wish you the very best brother..

John is seeing better days...He is much happier lately and to me that is all that counts...I just want to see John happy...cuz I love 'em..I hope he and his girl can find some peace and harmony...and learn to tolerate the small stuff...I will be there for both of them at all times...anytime 24/7..

His dad is doing very well and that kicks ass...he's up and about now...so it looks like he'll be fine..

it sucks watching our parents getting old and going to crap...and I'm right behind them...jeeez

I'm having a shit time with my brother though...my old partner is head of the fugitive task force..and he called me to tell me ....he and his men are about to kick in his front door to serve a felony warrant..yeeeeeshh..

So I took my bro downtown and had him turn himself in...my friends are going to see what they can do for him now...but he fucked up so much...there is not much they can really do....he did two years hard time and now he's going back...

I have to go in the morning to court ...then bail him out...and that is over a thousand bucks..

I love my brother ...but he is an asshole...he never learns and is a major pain in my ass...I bailed him out of so much trouble ..it's ridiculous..I'm getting really tired of this shit!

but I can't just sit there when I could do something about it..so what an I supposed to do.. [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Cleveland Metal

John and Jack, glad to hear things are going well for your mom and dad. Cherish them, my dad's gone 36 years and my mom 22 now. I miss them terribly still, you only get one set of parents...

Bill, sorry to hear your bro's still in trouble, I remember you've mentioned that before. Better you got him to go in than they kick down the door, people can get shot in that situation. I hope he sees his errors, sadly even prison doesn't always do that for people. All you can do is what you can do though, and then clear your mind and conscience. You can't make someone toe the line. Cherish him too, as long as he doesn't bring harm to your immediate family. My brother was not the perfect brother either, but I lost him last July. All the stuff he'd say and do that bugged me, basically being a know-it-all big bro and pulling a couple fast ones on me over the years, that means nothing now and I'd put up with it a hundredfold to have him back. I hope he figures out this time though, crime really doesn't pay in most cases.
