Ok now, that was funny right there.
Listen NN, if I upset you, I am sorry. Seriously I just really had no idea anyone would ever react that way is all. I am very sensitive to cancer and have lost loved ones to it. SO again, I apologize if I upset anyone. I was just trying got make a joke at Giant's expense. Which is one of my favorite pastimes. I should've have said so last week, so also sorry for the delay.

Forgive me, please? :culpability:

I think, perhaps, we do know this...as there is overwhelming scientific evidence in film...that nutty professor guy and his family, all old farts, cutting up at the table, the young getting into it too. What is his name? I forget. Eddy Something? Comedian guy.
I think you're talking about the Nutty Professor movies...

Na, It is ok Hoss.., ya big lug.
You did not upset me, the word does. I have never had anyone effected by it. It was just a shock to see it right out there like that. If I lose my ability to laugh at anything - then I would be upset.

OK, as long as we are good. I really don't like upsetting people for no good reason. Shock a little? Sure. Get you out of your comfort zone? Sure. Address racist, sexist, prejudicial, etc., comments with frankness not well received? Sure. But upsetting someone when not attempting to and then just letting it lie, is not cool. I am glad that it's all clear now, though. Another reason I love this group of oddballs around here. :)

Andy had cancer but I don't take offense at comments regarding cancer. I do support Cancer Care Manitoba - they have great T-shirts!

I will say that once he got the diagnosis they did do their best to help him deal with it.

I wasn't upset either, Hoss... it just knocked the wind out of my sails for a moment... and it was purely a timing thing.
My mum phoned late last week to say that her echo had shown that she has a 3 by 5 by 3cm tumour growing in her heart. She is also awaiting a CT scan (tomorrow) on her abdo' because of localised pain, severe weight loss and a low blood count. She is due to have open heart surgery to remove the mass probably later this week.
She's my Momma... and I just hit the wall a bit this week that's all... no harm, no foul though. :smile:
