Smeggie

So sorry to hear this @baldie.  Positive vibes coming your way!

Yesterday I took my wife for pre booked tests at the hospital. And after having an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy the Doctors discovered my wife has Bowel Cancer.
At the moment we are just numb and trying to get our heads round it, Donna is a woman who has never smoked or drank to excess (the odd glass of wine) and teaches PE at school. So she has always been fit and healthy. And in ten years has only been off work twice due to illness it just makes no sense.
We have now told all the family which has been very hard on everyone. This woman is my rock for over 22 years we have only ever been apart 3 times in all those years. I find myself having to be the strong one telling everyone its alright mum will be fine, while cracking jokes and keeping a smile on my face when in reality I just want to scream. 
It is now a waiting game for more tests and the results from the Biopsy. We have a full body CT scan booked for the 4th of next month to see if it has spread and only after those results will the Doctors decide the next step.
I do not claim to be a religeous man but I prayed for the first time in a lot of years. Not for me but for my wife who is the most wonderfull kind and gentle woman you could ever wish to meet.
I only post this to remind everyone, hug the special people in your life , tell them you love them today. Because you never know what tomorrow brings.
Wishing everyone the best

Yea I would destroy those potatoes

German Potatoes minus the onion cook in lard. Was going to make Curry Ketchup but stuck with regular turning them into French Fries or Chips. I cooked in a Cast Iron skillet using my cool Induction cooker making this a very healthy meal. Iron makes it all better.  
  
I was going to make the Cheeseburgers but ended up diving into the potatoes instead then passed out before Sunset. Woke up at 11:30PM yesterday been up since... so I'll cook the burgers tonight. 

done

You all just need me on your team.  I have no problem abandoning all you frozen IDIOTS in spawn.  Of course that usually leaves me the last man standing and we all know how well that ends....
