Weekender Thread 28th June to 2nd July 2018 Part 2
I celebrate the Fourth of July by firing up the grill and going to see fireworks. I LOVE THEM. Suggestions for grilling? Send them my way. Thinking of steak, because it always goes over well. I wish we could get some halloumi cheese here. My sis in law introduced it to me when we went to London in the summer. That was an awesome trip. So glad we will see her and her family end of the month! I read baby back ribs in here. MMMM... Going to spend some time exploring online recipes. Not good for my diet, but it must be done. Happy FOURTH.

Here’s something to occupy your brains in the torturous absence of the World Cup:
I just got the official news that I’ve most likely got less than a year to live!
I’m serious! It sounds like a joke, but it’s not.
I had melanoma of the eye in 2010, and the tumor itself was killed by radiation; however, there must have been some rogue cells in the bloodstream that went undetected, because now, eight years later, they’ve metastasized to my liver.
There is some effective treatment for stage IV melanoma of the skin, but none for ocular melanoma.
I started a separate thread about it here on the Newcomers’ forum called “A Different Path.”
I don’t want to hijack this thread with it, so please feel free to take the discussion over there.
I’m fine emotionally—I still feel fine physically, too.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! I’ll be hanging around SR as usual till I can’t do it anymore.
It seems totally unreal!

I am simply devastated by your news, Gilmer. I have left a message in your thread (as you know). I just wanted to reiterate how very much you mean to me and, I know, to so very many of us.
Sending you an abundance of love and uplifting so much prayer.
