i was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. The treatment plan was for 30 days of chemo radiation, and surgery scheduled six weeks later. Surgery meant that I would nave to wear a bag, at least temporarily. A week and a half before the surgery date I went to the surgeon and he got me to do an MRI, as he wanted to see if the tumor had decreases in size. The MRI showed that the tumor had disappeared. He then did a colonostopy and took tissue samples and they biopsied as benign, no cancer detected. So surgery was canceled. My oncologist said that only about 5% of patients have their tumors disappear after chemo radiation. Two years later still cancer free.

doublecutter, God is good.

I have two. One is stupid and happened to me the other happened to my mom and I think about it often.

Mine. Hauling arse in a boat I’ve been hit in the head by a jumping mullet twice. Hurt like hell both times and the second one nearly knocked me out. Luckily I was the passenger both times.


My Mom’s. My dad died at the age of 57 of cancer 14 years ago. The only man my mom ever loved and she was having a tough go of it. About two months after he passed out of nowhere a cockatiel showed up and landed on a pool chair while she was sitting next to the pool drinking coffee. He wasn’t timid and to her surprise and shock he flew over and landed on her shoulder. She said she felt very calm after a minute of him sitting on her shoulder. She walked inside her house with him still attached. Once inside he flew and perched on top of the living room chair my dad always sat in. She went and bought a cage so she could take him outside with her and where he slept at night she would let him roam inside freely during the day when she was home. She really enjoyed having the bird around and was a welcome distraction and really helped her start to heal. 3 months or so after his arrival she went out one morning and he was not in his cage. The door was open and he was gone. Two weeks later in the local newspaper that my mom got (very small town so mostly human interest crap in it) there was a story of a lady that lived 20 miles away and her new best friend a cockatiel that had just appeared at her home one day. This lady had also recently lost her husband. I know this sounds like crap but I swear it’s true. The story of the other lady was in the DeQuincy paper.

My mom said Jo Jo (what she named him) knew he was needed more by someone else since she was feeling better.

I’ve never been to a funeral. I’m in my 40s.

This is kinda Redneckish but:

I killed an 8 point buck and caught an 8 lb bass in a 5 day stretch in 2020.


I've hunted and fished all my life and had never done either, nor have I since

I hit a Sasquatch, a Chupacabra and a Rougarou on the same road on same small bridge on same day a year a part.

Good night.

the first time i ever bowled i got strikes on the first 3 frames.

one the 3rd hole of the first round of golf i’ve ever played i got a hole in one.

im absolutely horrible at both golf and bowling still to this day, so it was obviously just ridiculous luck.

I went on one blind date my entire life, on my 23rd birthday and met my wife. We've had 2 beautiful children and are still married today.
