fuck cancer. the mother of a mate of mine, who I went to army with, just passed from cancer. gone in a flash...

what started as ovarian cancer which got removed and cleared came back and spread through the lungs. was gone in 3 weeks.

@Brian it only got up to 37°C here in Regional Victoria today, but I share your pain. Especially when Australian builders seem incapable of constructing a house that is suited to the climate.

@louisbosco I feel your pain. I lost my mother to cancer eleven years ago, my father is (probably) in remission, but an aunt has recently been given twelve to eighteen months. All three are probably younger than your friend's mother, but it sucks in all cases.

@Matt I said the exact thing about it yesterday. I'm DONE with it. Ready for spring already. Fuck you Punxsutawney Phil.

Groundhog Day is such a ridiculous superstition. I love the movie with Bill Murray, but probably thanks to it, I can't stand the tradition. It's absolutely preposterous.

[endo]

C'mon, that's real science.

[krebsy]

As a native Pennsyvanian, I've grown to mostly view Groundhog Day as the world's yearly reminder that we're a bunch of hicks. But hey, it's also just a bit of silly fun!

[louisbosco]

@Graeme from what my mate told me, I think the worst part was that she had her ovaries removed but then it relapsed/ spread about a year later. my grandfather, thankfully, is doing good many years on after they removed part of his liver due to cancer..

[Graeme]

@louisbosco I'm glad that your grandfather is doing well. The liver can regrow, so it might have regenerated the removed portion.

Guys, don't get carried away. We'll all die. It's a matter of time. Cancer, depression or special military operation. Drink vodka, have sex with a woman and wear an Iron Heart!

If you are on vacation, remember the people who are serving you are not. Don’t be a fucking asshole….they’re just trying to make a living like anyone of us are.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I take it not everyone at your hotel/resort is as considerate as you?

[Jett129]

@goosehd Where did you guys go this year?

[Matt]

Tell Laura to take it easy on those guys.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 Turks and Caicos, but it may be our last time in this specific location. Love it for the convenience and because the people/staff here are beautiful (big hearts, beautiful smiles, and kind). For that we love it…

For the other travellers/tourists I can say they are better mannered than last year but there are a few standouts for the wrong reasons.

[Matt]

I have zero problems telling rude patrons to where to go. One time I yelled at a group of high school girls in line a Chick Fil A because they were chatting loudly instead of moving up to make their order. Fuck all the rude people.

[flannel slut]

I’d pry give up a less loved UHF to have been a fly on the wall for that Chic Fil A experience

[Matt]

My admonishment was sharp and loud. You could have heard a pin drop afterwards.
