Mazel Tov, DarkScribe!

The collective was quieter while you were gone; it’s exciting to have you back among us.
I don’t always agree with you, but when I do, I admire your posts. When I don’t, I admire them and gnash my teeth.

Aussies rock!

Congrats, DarkScribe!! Time to fire up the grill – er, stovetop. Pancakes!

@fireinthepriory Grilled pancakes, mmmm!

Isn’t it ironic that DarkScribe is probably sleeping through his own party and will be partiying while we sleep?

Congratulations, DarkScribe! You definitely add dimension to the mansion expansion!

Congrats Dark Scribe, to job :-)

Darkscribe, so glad you came back. I really did miss you. Congratulations on 10K.

Congrats @Darkscribe! I remember when you first came to Fluther, you made a clever comment and someone mentioned how you’ll be a good fit here on Fluther. Obviously, that was true!

Congrats!

* * * Y * A * Y * * * CONGRATULATIONS ! ! ! GOOD WORK ! ! ! * * * Y * A * Y * * *

most excellent! congratulations

Thank you all very much, I appreciate the comments. (I did try to log in earlier in the evening Australian time but was greeted with a message that the Fluther server was being worked on.) With a little luck I will be able to stick around long enough to make the 20k jump. It is an interesting, occasionally frustrating, intriguing, sometimes aggravating, invariably entertaining, always supportive extended family in the Fluther world. I enjoy being here. Regards

Jeff

A few people have asked what happened, why I was absent for few a few months. A quick synopsis: I had recovered from cancer – Melanoma – a few years ago, and had reached a stage of pretty good health for a guy in his fifties, when last September I accidentally got severely sunburned. (Caught in the open without shelter or protective clothing for nearly a day in full tropical sun). A few weeks later the cancer came back, new tumours every day or two – it was what they term “aggressive”. It was a different form of cancer and didn’t intially respond to treatment.

I eventually managed to get it under control with a variation of the treament that was successful the first time. Most of the tumours have now either gone a shrunk to a non-threatening size. At the tail end of this, on Christmas day, an elderly family member died leaving his also elderly wife alone and injured. She was several hours away and we had to take it in shifts to spend time caring for her. My wife did most of it and I filled in.

All in all, since last October life has been pretty hectic – things only started returning to normal last week.A part of normal is me being able to spend time on Fluther. Everything is looking great now other than the necessity for me to catch up on an enormous amount of work that I have missed.

My main reason for mentioning all of this in such detail is to warn people, particularly those who are no longer young. Sunburn can cause Melanoma and Carcinoma – if you are young it might take twenty or thirty years to develop. If you have passed your forties, it can happen with incredible speed. Enjoy the sun, but be careful.

@DarkScribe; Maybe your my annoying BIG brother since you’re a few years older than me.
Take care of yourself! Do you need me to send you a funny hat?
So glad you seem to have fight and determination. Fluther wouldn’t be the same without you. Take care and stay in the shade. We lurve you. ya little brat

Thanks for the update @DarkScribe – and the warning.

Congrats on your 10k and welcome back!

@DarkScribe Thank you for sharing your story with us. It can never be said enough to be careful in the sun. I am glad you have fought and recovered.

@DarkScribe Crikey! I’ve always made it a point to stay the hell out of the sun. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you stay well.
I’ve enjoyed your posts.

So glad to see you back here. Your posts are always interesting.

Congrats on the 10K and continued good health to you. Thanks for the warning.

Sorry to be so late to the party.
