For those that are keeping tabs on CaringBridge (I thank you with all of my being), expect some sort of icky updates. Details are still being deciphered at the moment, but there isn't an ETA on when we'll get them at the moment.

I only post this here instead of letting those that are following get the updates they normally would is because if I'm edgy, snappy, or downright bitchy, it's because of this. I'm far from graceful when it comes to dealing with this kind of stuff. I don't expect you guys to take it sitting down, so feel free to light me back up, but I just want I guess fore-warn you all on a potential crabby-pants Formo.

That is all.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

formo I walked in those moccasins myself. Monday is the 5 yr anniversary since I lost my Dad to C. It still hurts and I am still pissed.

but at the same time I am extremely grateful to have had the time I did with him in his last few years.

I am glad you posted this here because I do want to show you and your family my support. I stopped going over to the other site because it is a bit difficult for me. I guess that makes me a baby.

Cancer patients become a family.

Not sure how I missed this thread.. now I feel bad about

you around lately.

You have me permission to rip me a new one if need be.. but you only get one shot.. so make it count.

All joking aside.. I will pass along my prayers for you and your entire family. If I can help in any way.. yelp.

Formo-sorry to hear that your dad is doing worse. I hope going back to the old chemo drug works. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Latest (you guys getting an 'unofficial' update before his CaringBridge will) is dad's doctor is getting the opinions from two other doctors, one a surgeon, the other another doctor. The fluid is coming from his liver (which is where the cancer had spread) and it's condition is apparently getting worse. We'll be making the trip up to the hospital tomorrow to further comfort him. Doctors have said that surgery (more specifically liver transplant) is not an option, but if direct meds doesn't do the trick he'll probably need liver stints. If that happens, he'll probably get that done at Abbott in MPLS.

Not quite sure if I have digested all this or not. I guess we're just taking this one baby step at a time.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

But I do sincerely, with every fiber of my being, appreciate the empathy. Not just from you, but Wayne and others as well. This isn't something I know how to deal with yet. I'm certainly not strong enough to being handling this.

i've been keeping tabs on the ole man via caring bridge & i'm so very sorry to hear the latest. takes me right back to certain moments with my dad & i cannot begin to express how much my heart hurts for you all. as you move forward in this journey, we're all here for you in whatever way we can be.

you will gain strength that you never thought you'd have & it will remain with you forever. one thing i wish i would have done was talked to my dad about his pain, his fears, & just let him cry with me. i was a little too strong & maybe missed some precious moments with him because of it.

love, hugs, & prayers to your entire family.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (5h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (7h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
