I can't believe it. My father had lung cancer twice before he died. We just got through burying my SIL with her lung cancer and now I find out, mom just had a chest xray and there's a spot on her lung. She never smoked but she lived with my father for the 40 years he smoked. Does this seem just too cruel???

We're now on that lovely roller coaster ride, trying to keep our emotions in check while the back of our mind is running rampant with what this might be and what she may have to face while we await the cat scan results which seems interminable.

Damn!

Age brings its rewards. Good luck tful.

well that's bs...i just tried it and it said there is no one in the us with my last name and that's simply not true. I've looked in enough phone books to know....

I'm sorry your rollercoaster hasn't settled yet with the new year, Thoughtful. I'll be thinking of y'all and hoping for the best.

thanks arky.

T'ful, I'll be thinking of you and yours. I agree, it just doesn't seem fair at all.

Toys?

20993. Ms. No - 1/26/2007 3:48:27 AM

fuckety, code search in progress.

20995. Ms. No - 1/26/2007 3:50:59 AM

Woo-hoo!! Success!

20996. Ms. No - 1/26/2007 3:55:05 AM

There are 0 people in the US with my name. Ten thousand with my first name, which has an unusual spelling, but none at all with my last name which doesn't surprise me in the least. Even if I look up my birth name there are zero with both and only 2300 with my last name....which is likely all of my relatives.

20997. wonkers2 - 1/26/2007 7:32:12 AM

My wife came up with the same result--0 people in the U.S. with her name.

20998. wonkers2 - 1/26/2007 7:34:08 AM

And I just did her maiden name and got the same result--0 with her first name and 3800 with her last name.

20999. wonkers2 - 1/26/2007 7:37:00 AM

Mine was 422,956 with my first name; 3,300 with my last name and 5 with my full name. I wonder who and where the other 4 are?

The millennial?

21001. Ulgine Barrows - 1/26/2007 12:36:41 PM

Well done, concerned!

21002. Ulgine Barrows - 1/26/2007 12:39:08 PM

BTW, there is none of me on that how many of me site.
It seems suspect.

21003. Magoseph - 1/26/2007 1:21:27 PM

Maybe the reason some names don't show up is because they never were in the U.S. Census Bureau statistics files?

What do you think?

Good job, concerned--it was exactly three years ago when Wabbit made me the host of this thread--we had then about 6500 posts. We didn't do too badly, the four of five of us...

21004. Magoseph - 1/26/2007 1:22:40 PM

Thinking of you and your mother, thoughtful--a spot taken early may not be life treatening, I sincerely hope.

21005. thoughtful - 1/26/2007 3:41:35 PM

Thanks, mags. We take it as it comes. Not like we can do anything about it anyway.
