Good Finally Friday Morning
 
Good Morning
Just one short appointment this morning and then the week is done :) Well, kind of done.

FanTC 2007-09-21 07:46 AM

Good? Morning

All I wanted to do was build a free site and go to the concert last night.
So about 3 yesterday afternoon I started on my free site when the phone rang. It was my cousin in Mo. My dad was in an accident at the farm.
Seems he was helping his buddy pick cotton and he was kicking cotton into the front of the picker. His pant leg got caght in the spindle and pulled him in. The spindles in the machine chewed his leg to hell and back from the knee down.
He was air lifted to Cape Girardeau yesterday afternoon and they did surgery upon landing but they couldn't save his leg and amputated several inches above the knee last night.
I'm waiting to talk to doctors and medicine types this am and then probably taking an extended leave. I've got an old man to take care of and there's 1500 acres of cotton in the field . I might have to take a crash course in farming.
In the mean time, I'm practicing what I preach. "When the goin gets tough, the tough get stoned"

Have a day. your choice of flavor.

FanTC - WOW! Good luck with that & I hope your Dad is doing OK.

Good Friday Peoples |buddy|

Sabres play a pre-season game tonight & I'm taking my mom. Other than that, I've got nothing.

My 1000th post. I just realized I was at 999. |bananna|

Enjoy your day everyone. |waves|

Ramster 2007-09-21 08:07 AM

Good Morning. Off to the golf course.

FanTC, damn I hope all the best. My Dad lost his foot from repeated blood clots in December. He is still adjusting to getting around but surprisingly in good spirits, it doesn't bother him at all.

Good Morning Everyone |waves|

Happy Friday Everyone!

Have a great day!!

Tekster 2007-09-21 08:41 AM

Good Morning All,

FanTC: Good luck with your dad, I hope everything will be O.K.

Nothing to report today, all the same here in the desert.

Morning All
 
Good friday all.

FanTC:Hope everything goes ok with your dad.

About two years ago both my wife's parents were in a motorcycle accident. An 80 year old woman just turned straight into them in Redbud,Ill. They were airlifted to SLU and my mother in law was actually pronounced D.O.A. They ended up giving her 36pints of blood in all. She did recover.My mother-in-law lost her left leg at the scene and my father in law's left leg was crushed so badly they had to amputate.

So my prayers are with you and your father.

Mornin' y'all,

FanTC: Sending along Texas sized good vibes for your Dad.

Temps are still over 90, but as the weather d00d said last week, humidity has been down. I've actually spent a little time outside this week.

|coffee is on, help yourself...

Simon 2007-09-21 09:27 AM

Good morning world |waves|

Damn sorry to hear about your dad's troubles, FanTC, and all good wishes for him to make a strong recovery.

Lots of things to get done here today, so I'll just say I hope you, and everyone else who wants one, has a better today than yesterday.

Time for more coffee here too.

Cleo 2007-09-21 09:41 AM

That terrible FanTC :(

Just more of the same for today. My life is really very boring and mundane.

T Pat 2007-09-21 10:13 AM

That bites FanTC, if you need any help keeping your empire up and running while your picking cotton let me know. My advice for anyone in severe pain is get the Doctors to switch you from the morphine pump to the daluadid pump.
just a normal workday for me

bDok 2007-09-21 10:33 AM

Morning everyone.

First... crazy shit FanTC. Good luck there.

Going to crank and get some Friday stuff done. Then packing and will be off to Las Vegas to watch a friend hopefully beat the crap out of the other guy. Then I'll be doing some gambling and I guess a friend has us setup for some club on Saturday night. Should be interesting.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Cheers,
B

JustRobert 2007-09-21 10:39 AM

Thoughts and prayers go out to FanTC and his father.

Wishing all a nice day :)

LeRoy 2007-09-21 11:22 AM

My prayers are with your father FanTC. I hope everything turns out ok on the farm.

docholly 2007-09-21 11:47 AM

Morning..
Well I thought i was having a bad day (got a sprint bill for 359.00 -- but got them to knock it down to 248.00) until I opened this. Sorry to hear about your dad, FanTC. If i wasn't working so much, I'd drive out and help. I used to pick cotton when I lived in 'Bama during the fall. I hope it all works out and your dad has a quick and easy adjustment. What a shocker.

Nothing much left to say.. but everyone try to have a safe and happy weekend. Equinox on Sunday. |thumb

I have the phone number for OJ's bail bondsman -- You Jail 'em We Bail 'em. Oh and take taxis.. the DUI patrol is out in full force this weekend here.

digifan 2007-09-21 11:49 AM

Good morning..
FanTC, these are terrible news.. good luck to your Dad and a fast recovery.

sue-fl 2007-09-21 12:19 PM

Morning!

So sorry to hear about your dad FanTC sending good thoughts your way.

It's a beautiful day here today with a nice breeze, time to get out of the house for a change|thumb

Enjoy your day and weekend all!

Emerald 2007-09-21 12:27 PM

FanTC - wow that is not good news at all... our best wishes to your dads recovery and good luck to you with cotton picking.. hope it all works out for all involved.

Nice day here relaxing after a full day at tourist trap Niagara Falls.. we had awesome weather and a great day but our legs hurt from all the walking.

jetpat 2007-09-21 12:41 PM

I was up and out the door at 5am to ride in my brother's hot air balloon this morning. A real big balloon festival going on in these parts. It was a great flight - fog hanging low, sun rising, hardly any wind and it took an hour and a half to go about a mile! I'm leaving Sunday for DFW for my 3 weeks of training on the new jet.

FanTC...I don't know 'ya, man - but good luck with your Pa and all. Peace.

Now to go mow the lawn one last time before I leave or my wife will kill me dead.

Preacher 2007-09-21 01:27 PM

Wow FanTC and I thought my yesterday was bad. Sorry to hear about your dad.

bluebrit 2007-09-21 01:35 PM

FanTC I hope everything goes well for you and yours and as emmy says we both wish your dad a speedy recovery.

As for today, emmy thinks were relaxing but i think we have work to do before we get to that.

Licker4U 2007-09-21 03:08 PM

Sorry to hear about your dad FanTC. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.
