Well, my dad's other lung has a malignant tumor.  Ugh.

They are setting up radiation. I've got to stay positive.

Oh dude... so sorry to hear that.  :brohug:

Cancer can suck it.





So who wants to come in and work for me right now?

I wanna go home.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I don't want to go to work. I hate it! I want to go back to bed and maybe sleep. Maybe just zone out for a few hours.

All my best, Joe. Thoughts and prayers.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Thank you everyone.  I'm so frustrated right now. First he's battling lung cancer, His MS is progressing fastest every day and is dementia is getting worse as well.  He had a plummer coming over.  My brother and I told him not to go down cellar.  My sister in law would be there for the plumber and there he was down in the cellar.  He's so physically weak we are afraid he will fall down the stairs.  He doesn't listen to us.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

It's so sad to see our parents decline as they age - mentally and physically.  Mrs.jingle has seen her mother go downhill mentally and emotionally over the past couple of years, and it's killing her.  No real diagnosis like dimentia or anything, but she clearly doesn't use her brain or wits the way that she use to, and just makes the most asinine comments and decisions.

Musically tight.  The banter between songs was amazing.  James struggled but I expected that.

I figured that, too. I give him credit for agreeing to do the album. I'm sure he knew from the beginning that it would be a struggle. I'm sure JP knew that, too, but it could not have been easy for James to prepare doing the album for a whole tour.

And I'll be there as well.  :metal

7th row JP side.  Going solo to that one so I'll be around to meet up at some point, if not before, then during intermission.

I'm working that day so I'll probably get there just before showtime. I'll also have my ex's daughter with me. I've promised her for years that I would take her to see Dream  Theater. I have to check and see where are my seats.
