  1. Yeah. I think I heard 25% chance of needing pills and 25% chance of needing pumps or whatever-even in a case of early detection where there aren't external tumors/swelling. So 50% chance of natural boners. Still better than cancer, but that is why I ditched private practice urologist in favor of a SOTA teaching hospital.


  2. So why did you choose surgery over radiation? Where are you having the procedure done? Do the use robotics?
    Consulted with radiologist but radiation sounds brutal. Huge risk it frys your rectum so they have to insert a protective gel/spacer into your taint that stays there for the months you are having radiation 5 days a week. Also can radiate after surgery when it (inevitably) recurs, but can't get prostatectomy after radiation as I understand it.

    Surgery scheduled at UT Southwestern in Dallas. I believe all prostatectomies are robotic now, but I expect a teaching hospital to have the latest and greatest gear.

  3. Haven't caught up on the whole thread, but I will to see who the prostate cancer crew are.

    I got a stage 1 prostate cancer diagnosis earlier this summer. Highest of the Gleason scores was 7.

    In my 50s and no symptoms other than elevated PSA, so it seems like they caught it early and it is immensely treatable right now. Scheduled surgery at UTSW for AFTER TX/ou, but recuperating during the holidays this Fall is going to suck.

  4. About to make a $14k non-business purchase and I wanted to get an American Airlines travel card, but haven't ever grabbed the in-flight offers they hock. It looks like the offer links are locked down pretty tight online/reddit for some reason. Can anyone flying AA now/soon help?

    Only fly AA and wanted to build up some status with their card. Any other card ideas though?

  5. What state? HOA? Are slabs limited because of impervious cover rules-slab probably gf'd. Complete new construction of shed shouldn't be gf'd (he should leave old frame and "remodel" - prob gf'd). BUT unless city requires building permits, they probably won't care. Think it is civil matter that will require you to sue neighbor.

    I would not be ashamed to mess with him if he is a dicc, esp. if absentee owner.

    Maybe CYHMWT is better subforum for this tho. GL!

  6. Guaranteed fight with wife every April 14th. She say she just gives them money to get them to stop calling but it just guarantees more calls each year (or month).

    No matter how worthy the cause/service is, I won't engage any phone or front door solicitation.

    I've settled on the Foundation, my Church, and St. Judes pretty exclusively and I hope they are worthy enough.

  7. Interestingly, he tried to have himself killed, but the attempt failed.  He paid his drug dealer to kill him (this was after the murders), so his surviving son could collect on life insurance. 
     




    Are we 100% sure the plan was for cousin Eddie to kill him?
    I'm wondering if the plan was just for Cousin Eddie to shoot "near" him to make it appear as if someone was trying to kill Alex, too, but the shooter screwed up and accidentally grazed his head.  
     


    Thought speculation was that Alex tried to set cousin up and they struggled with a gun and Alex got grazed? Wasn't there evidence of $9,999 checks to cousin too?

  8. Assuming cl fence is on the exact property line-what are the rules about ownership?

    Assume that an earlier owner of his property paid and installed fence-would it matter?

    Seems like he has as much right to the line as you do.

    Developers I know would wait until you are gone and replace it anyway. What are you gonna do about it really?

    I like to piss in the backyard way too much to have a chain link fence...
