On what is proving to be perhaps the worst day to date of 2003 (just found out that my grandmother has cancer) - and after a string of really crappy days since August, THANK YOU to the Pickem guys for a morning laugh. I needed it. :yowsa:

Hey Pickem Players

DON'T GIVE UP! EVEN IF YOU SUCK! Last week was rough on most people playing the Pickem. It's called parity and that's what the NFL wants - 'on any given Sunday' meaning anybody can and will beat anybody else in the NFL.

I just wasn't expect the "Don't Give Up! Even if you suck!" line in there. Nearly lost my AM coffee on the monitor. Thanks for the laugh. And thanks for making the Pickem Challenge fun. It's been something cool to look forward to on the weekends - and made hearing hubby yell at the TV all day Sunday (he's a Chargers fan - enough said? lol) a little more exciting. :awinky:

That should have said, "Just give up, Shok will take it all this year"

Thanks Trev.... yeah, going to visit tonight so we can get all the details from her doctor about what type, plan of action, etc... Apparently it runs in the family - we just found out recently that all of her siblings had it but it was a "family secret" nobody wanted to talk about. Guess I need to change all my medical history information at the doctors. :angry:

Kath, my prayers and thoughts are with your Grandmother. My mom has been fighting it for 4 years. They gave her 6 months back then but she has never ever gave up :)

That's an encouraging story dan... best wishes and thoughts to you and your mom as well. I know I still have no idea what you guys must be going through - this is all still so new to me... but that's very encouraging. I will remember that no matter what the doctor tells us this weekend.

The e-mail reminder was from Mutt.... he is a funny guy. Not in a wierd way or anything.
