First let me say thanks to Scooby for his graciousness in dealing with my whinning. And for all the rest of you reading my posts, thank you for tolerating me.
I do need to explain a little further where I am coming from, not to make excuses, but just to make you aware of where I am coming from.
As I stated, I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed July 1, 1998 with non-small cell lung cancer, stage IIIb. It had metastisized to my lymph nodes, and was inoperable. The survivor odds were not great. I am extremely lucky to still be here into my 3rd year.
Recently I have been having some bone pain in my arms. Tomorrow is my routine check-up, the 1st one that wasn't a 3-monther but a 4-monther (what a happy day that was to hear I could wait 4 months before being checked again.)
Anyway, I won't know until tomorrow if the cancer is spreading or if there is some other cause for the pain. Dealing with this has made everything monumental and blown out of proportion.
I am still lonely for cases chisi....and miss everyone when I am on the road. I just got back this past Saturday after being gone for 4 weeks, and I go back on the road this Sunday for 2 more weeks. So on top of everything else, I am also tired, not sleepy tired, just tired.
For you backgammon guru's, I apologize for my whinning about doubling. I just never knew the rule existed. I should have read the rules to see what I didn't know.
Anyway, I hope the rest of you are as gracios as scooby in accepting my apologies and I promise not to whine about the doubling rule or this site again........at least not in writing where it can be seen :)
Hope you can understand where I am and have been coming from.
Thanks for listening.
I have been working on a home page periodically which include my experience with the cancer. Got a lot more to do, but my picture is there so you can get a look at me if you want. The url is
