Generally a better outcome, but there are 1000s of other variables. I was a 2b.. I had tumors in my upper body. Under the arms, chest and neck. Nothing in the stomach, liver, kidneys or other goodies in the middle so that was a plus. 9mos of chemo, a couple surgeries to remove some of the bigger stuff and 3 mos of radiation. Essentially a year. It was not fun but I had excellent support. Good friends, good family, good docs and (remember I was 19) a ton of sympathy sex. If it wasnt for the damn cancer I would have been a great timefishmike wrote:gunsnewing wrote:Yea Fish glad you can look back on it 20yrs later. Man that's rough but for a 19-20yr old? I'm sure it gave you a much broader perspective on life to benefit from. Was there any correlation to the sudden growth spurt? It wasn't bone related right?na.. hodgekins. Thats lymphoma, so it hits the lymph nodes. It spreads quickly but also does well with treatment. Chemo is barbaric. You drip poison into your body under the logic and hope that it kills the cancer before it kills you. Im sure the cigs I smoked in my teen angst years didnt help.

Geez...
Here I am coming back to the computer, looking at how this thread has grown, and I'm thinking that it is almost embarrassing to discuss something as relatively unimportant as a draft pick after talk about cancer, and then I realize the topic has segued into gambling. No way to explain how the human mind works... EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

I really get a kick out of the atmosphere and excitement leading up to those 2mins or so Just imagine if every one did things moderately,like once and awhile, life would be so much different, and a lot of people would be out of work. Less cops, less doctors, less judges, less lawyers, less liquor, less crime, less drugs..the list is end less. THIS ENTIRE WORLD IS FCK UP BY ADDICTION,and survives off addiction. The goal is to do everything moderately and live a peaceful life, but that's a pipe dream. PHIL jackson looks like he's addicted to making head scratching moves,that he doesn't even know why he does it. But to add to the original topic, Between OK4 and Town, one of these guys will not pan out in the NBA, I cant say for sure but i have never seen 2 franchise players get drafted 1 and 2 in the same draft ES

Most of us have food and shelter and while the quality of those things may vary most in our areas have those basics covered, so we are driven by our feelings, our emotions. We feel "needs" but what are they based on? And why is it those things change so often?blkexec wrote:mreinman wrote:gunsnewing wrote:I really want to get into horse racing.

I really get a kick out of the atmosphere and excitement leading up to those 2mins or so The guy who ran my first baseball team was in AA and sober for many years. Ironically I knew him as a drunk in the resturant I used to work in. Bumped into him sober, started chatting baseball and ended up playing together for 10+ years. When I was going through my divorce I started drinking at a pace that only leads to one place, so I went to meetings with him for about a year. I stayed sober through that whole process. I will simply say this: Mental health is not an accident. You need to work at it. 12 step programs... not always a hotbed of mental health, but the principles are excellent. Help your fellow. Be honest. Be accountable. Take an honest inventory of yourself. Do so daily. Get a relationship with what works for you and what works against you. Those fundamentals will put you on a good path in life. On a happy note, my little Jayhawks won the title. Most on this board would appreciate our style of play... team defense. We easily had the best defense in the league and it was the only aspect of the game I really coached. With such limited practice time I just figured teaching them an offense was a waste of time, its all broken plays anyway, so our focus was always D, D and more D and taking care of the ball. We werent a very big team, but we had speed, and defense is the way to get all 10 kids involved and the only thing Ill take credit for is getting them to take pride in it. Well, I scouted out our competition and the team we played had the best scorer in the league. He could hit 3s and was a beast in the paint. So my message was simple.. make him beat you with jumpers, nothing in the paint, pack the middle, control the boards and sure enough.. he got frustrated when the paint wasnt open and he settled for long jumpers and you guys know the rest. Im more relieved than anything! My kids were all good kids and played their asses off so I was just so happy for them all.
