Update on me and mine.
« on: August 08, 2023, 05:39:32 PM »
I haven't been around much lately. My wife has been diagnosed with cancer. She's doing well, and the outlook is good right now.

However, life changes, and so do priorities. I am sorting out my gun collection, and most of it is going to help with expenses. I'll be keeping a few pieces I can't part with. The rest is going to be sold. I'll be posting here when I'm ready.

Very sorry to hear about your wife EM.    Hang in there.   Be grateful for every day.

Good to hear from you. I was hoping it wasn't something like that... :-[
By all means feel free to list anything you intend to part with in the BST section here. Prayers up and hope your wife kicks it's butt.

Was in a similar situation many years ago and I'm sorry to hear about yours. Will offer prayers for your wife--and you.

Sorry to hear, EM. Been there, know how you feel. Keep the faith up. It's most often doable.

Hi EM, my wife had breast cancer, now cured. Cancer is no longer a death sentence. I will be praying for your wife.

Regards,

Her surgery was yesterday. The surgeon said it went really well, and the caner hadn't spread from her thyroid. She's home now. I'm still selling guns here, as soon as I can take photos and post them. I haven't had much time recently.
