Fair enough Doug, but not all smokers get their backs up, I know quite a few.

In a recent meeting at my adult son's day care centre this topic of smoking by staff came up. Most parents wanted to inforce the rules, which is, no smoking anywhere on the premises including outside away from any buildings. I argued against this rule, as the staff can at times be under extreme stress and some leeway is required. So now occasionly you'll still see one or two or three having a deep suck, and when I drive past I generally make a smart arse comment, knowing that they will just have a laugh or just brush it off without a thought, and we all get along happily ever after. Yes I do appreciate that for some it is a real challenge.


Anyway the main thing is you're in the clear, lets hope it stays that way.
As I said before, I'm really pleased for you.

Cheers
Richard

Doug, What great news and a huge relief.
I spoke to Ken after the camp and he told me about the procedure that your were in for to see just what it was and I honestly have to say that I have had you on my mind everyday since.
I can't imagine what you must have been going through leading up to it and not knowing.
I'm so glad that you have the all clear and things can get back on track, especially in time for the march camp.

All the very best wishes from me and look forward to catching up again at SV.

Cheers Daniel.

Just got the full set of results today. No cancer detected. Need to do a few things which sort of sound funny but will follow the directions. A few worrying signs but at the moment it all looks very good for the future.

I think I'm still breathing out. What a releif. Thanks everyone you are all really something else.

Pete, slow down, breathe deep. I'm still alive. Helen worked out my super etc and I have now spoilt her plans. That will cost me.


Cheers
Doug
