Can you guys do me a favor? Later this evening, when you're getting ready to eat your dinner...grab your plate of food, come on this post, click on the link, kick back, enjoy, and have an extra bite or two for Ole IC.....and just for kicks, let me know what I ate
"Hey Ted, can we have a little dinner music for my friends?"
Dinner music{sorry dial-uppers, you might not get the same effect}
"Nurse...ohhh nurse, can I have an IV bag of your finest chemo?...ahhhh yes, a vintage 2007. Excellent choice !" {as IC turns up the volume, puts on the shades, leans back in his chair, props his feet up on the table and puts his hands behind his head} Nothing quite like a dose of "Stranglehold" to instill a little chemo-cancer azz kickin' attitude. Ahhhh yes, life is good.
"Oh man! Can someone please get RJ and Miss IC down off the tables....this isn't that kind of establishment. And Miss IC, put your top back on......hmmm, on second thought, I think Miss IC and myself will be skipping dessert with you guys "
You got it, IC. In fact, I'll take "Turn it Up" on my iPod, and I'll turn it up, in your honor, too!
Ahhh, Nugent. The boy went to the same Catholic high school as my older brothers, about half a mile from my house. "Journey to the Center of My Mind" by his Amboy Dukes is still one of my ALL-TIME faves.
LOL. IC, you're a nut ! Before I get to what we're having here at work for dinner, I want to say "thank you IC " Thank you for giving a warm new meaning to chemo today and yes I'm going to expose your softer side to these folks....it was beautiful
We were sitting in the reception room waiting for IC's time to get his treatment and this young woman came in with her little girl (we later find out she's 5 yrs old} The little girl was there for her first chemo treatment and was screaming and crying and basically scared to death. Her mother couldn't do anything with her...it was really sad and added even more to an already somber atmosphere in the room.
I'm not sure what IC did, but he got the little girl's attention and he immediately struck up a curious interest from her. It wasn't long before his little conversations with the girl had not only her laughing, but had her mother, and the rest of us in the reception room pretty much in tears...most from laughter and some from seeing this grown man with his own fears and trials..connecting with this little girl and trying to ease her fears.
After a little IC persuasion, all four of us ended up going into the room for IC and this girl to get their treatments. No more crying from the little girl as her new "silly friend" was there with her. Her and her mom both gave us big hugs before we all left. Come to find out, she is a single mom that lives fairly close to us...we exchanged numbers and her and her girl are coming out early next week for dinner with the IC's I'm sure our kids and this little girl will hit it off right away...I can't wait
IC, just when I think I know all the cards you're holding...you come up with a wild card that makes me fall in love with you all over again...thank you !
I'll be home soon, but here is the dinner request that you wanted from us all...Kind of ho-hum, but we ordered pizza..had to fight off my co-workers, but I got an extra bite or two for ya.
IC, you had some movie popcorn and then a rotisserie chicken sandwich and a couple of high-powered cocktails and some apple crisp. And a really hot date, if that helps.
Hang in there.

IC, I am putting the following on your thread...a joke I came across for the HD men here:
A woman went into a store to buy her husband a pet for his birthday. After looking around, she found that all the pets were very expensive. She told the clerk she wanted to buy a pet, but she didn't want to spend a fortune.
'Well,' said the clerk, 'I have a very large bullfrog. They say it's been trained to give blow jobs!'
'Blow jobs!' the woman replied.
'It hasn't been proved but we've sold 30 of them this month,' he said.
The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and what if it's true...no more blow jobs for her! She bought the frog.
When she explained froggy's ability to her husband, he was extremely skeptical and laughed it off. The woman went to bed happy, thinking she may never need to perform this less than riveting act again.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of pots and pans flying everywhere, making hellacious banging and crashing sounds. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, only to find her husband and the frog reading cookbooks.
'What are you two doing at this hour?' she asked.
The husband replied, 'If I can teach this frog to cook, your ass is gone.'
RJ...Pink Floyd fan huh? Well, there's still time and plenty of room on the Nugent, free for all band wagon
So RJ, how have things been going with ya? Last few things I heard, you were wrapped up in a cuddly robe and flashing your husband with the black lacies whenever the kids weren't looking Mr & Mrs IC love ya !
Choc, One of my favorites as well..I'm a guitar nut, so any song that has a little guitar attitude to it...it's on my playlist
Kett, Awe Thanks, I love apple crisp...any vanilla ice cream to go with it I hope I didn't drink too much...Doc RJ orders Soooo this hot date...Did I get lucky?
PS. Southern Girl, wherever you're at...big thumbs up to ya on getting the anti-nausea meds in sooner
