BS: My problem is back (from Kendall 07 Jul 04)

Subject: BS: My problem is back From: kendall Date: 07 Jul 04 - 08:38 PM Well folks, my E.N.T. has found another suspicious spot on my vocal cord. He doesn't know what it is without a biopsy, so, I'm going to see a voice specialist in Boston for a biopsy and surgery. He told me the worst case would be removal of the voice box, or if it is a cyst it must be surgically removed, more radiation is not an option; they just won't do any more. I could use some positive energy. Someone said the definition of time is "Just one damn thing after another." Lilly Tomlin said it is "The same damn thing over and over." |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Bobert Date: 07 Jul 04 - 09:22 PM What Deckman said, Kendall... Looks like I'm gonna have to lean on the Big Guy again, aren't I? I'm thinking cyst, myself, if that's okay... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: freightdawg Date: 07 Jul 04 - 09:28 PM Hey Kendall, We've never met, except through the 'Cat here, but I hope the best for you. I know the toughest part is in the not knowing and in the interminable waiting. Once you get your answer, whatever it is, you can chart your course and move on. I'm with Bobert. I hope its just a benign cyst that can be removed with no further complications. Peace, Freightdawg |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Tinker Date: 07 Jul 04 - 11:45 PM Damn it Kendall, it's been a tough week in these parts. But the Peruvian Painters have gotten up close and personal with the naked lady in my backyard. Her hundred year old body has been hand sanded and lovingly resmoothed and shaped in defiance of the ages. Now I want you to imagine that in just a few weeks in the full of the moon a handful of women are going to be cavorting about the yard celebrating the sacred feminine and sending out all kinds of blessings and light your way. ( Well, I'll start early and often) Love Ya Capt'n Tinker |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: LadyJean Date: 08 Jul 04 - 12:52 AM They found a spot on my mother's lung that turned out to be a calcium deposit brought on by living in Pittsburgh for 74 years. There was also the bone scan, that turned up something odd on her rib cage. It turned out to be a cracked rib. But we had a terrible worry over that one. My boyfriend had a growth on his hip joint, they were almost certain was malignant. It turned out to be benign. Of course the S.O.B. dumped me three months after the surgery. But that's no never mind. Another of my upbeat stories. Dr. Frank Gilmore was the first person to have a lung removed because of cancer. That was in 1933. He delivered my sister in 1956. |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Jul 04 - 08:45 AM What the hell is your problem Kendall? Why can't you just stay well? Yeah, it is one thing and the same thing and all of that, but just be glad the problem isn't with your thing. Guy goes to a Doc and says, "Doc, ya' gotta' help me.......I can't stop singing 'Greem, Green Grass of Home.' What the hell is wrong with me?" The Doc says, "You have Tom Jones Syndrome." The guy is bewildered, never having heard of it before and responds, "Are you sure? Do many other people have this?" "Well," said the Doc, "It's Not Unusual." bada-boom Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Bat Goddess Date: 08 Jul 04 - 09:35 AM Plenty of good thoughts zooming your way from our neck of the woods -- enough for a veritable dome of positive energy to surround you. You've been through enough, fer-pete's-sake (why? and who is Pete anyway?!?). If the gods are merciful it'll turn out to be a minor blip and easily remedied -- an annoyance, not a catastrophe. (Nearly had a CAT-astrophe this morning as a skunk sauntered across my deck between the pots of tomatoes and chives and down the steps just as black cat Sabine was waiting respectfully to use those same steps to come into the house.) We're cheering for you, Cap'n -- you definitely need a respite from bodily ailments. ("Out damned Spot!" as Lady Macbeth said to her dog just before he squatted on the rug.) Lotsa love, Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Alaska Mike Date: 08 Jul 04 - 10:11 AM Doctor asks his patient,"Where does it hurt?" Patient points to his knee and says, "Here!" The doctor examines the knee thoroughly and finds nothing wrong. Patient then points to his elbow and says, "It also hurts here." The doctor examines the patient's elbow but again, finds no injury. Patient then points to his head, indicating pain there as well. The doctor finally diagnoses the problem. He says to the patient, "Well sir, it appears you've broken your finger." Get well Kendall, I've been looking forward to us doing a workshop together at the Getaway and harmonizing with one another again. I promise to have some good dark beer. Best wishes, Mike & Tawmmie |

|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Rapparee Date: 08 Jul 04 - 01:24 PM A prissy old maid came into the doctor's office. "Doctor," she said, "I've having SUCH a problem with...well...silent gas. For example, since we've been talking I've passed wind three times. It's very embarassing. What can be done?" "First thing," said the doctor, "We're going to have your hearing checked." Let's get Kendall laughing. That'll do it. No malignancy on Earth can stand up to Mudcat laughter. |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Carly Date: 08 Jul 04 - 01:24 PM Me too. What they all said. (And most definitely hugs!) |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Áine Date: 08 Jul 04 - 01:57 PM Hey there, Yankee (my favorite one!) -- Sorry to hear your news; but, I'm beaming some real kick ass vibes up your way to help keep your spirits up and hopefully kick that damn node in the ass as well. Big hugs from your redhaired Texas lady, Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: GUEST,brucie Date: 08 Jul 04 - 01:58 PM Guy walks into the doctor's office. Says he's having a problem. Says the lights keep flashing and he hears strange sounds. Doctor says, "You're crazy." Guy gets upset. Says he wants a second opinion. Doctor says, "OK. You're ugly too." Drum roll. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Deda Date: 08 Jul 04 - 02:32 PM Maybe we could consider a new name for the thread, from "my problem is back" to -- "Everyone really loves Kendall and wants him well", or something. Any suggestions? Anyway Kendall, I'm adding my prayers, though we've never met. I've heard you sing many times -- I'd recognize your voice anywhere. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: CarolC Date: 08 Jul 04 - 02:45 PM I'm sorry to hear this, kendall. Best of luck with everything. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: kendall Date: 08 Jul 04 - 05:00 PM I thank you all very much. Just made an appointment with Dr. Shapshay at Boston Medical ctr. on July 22 at 10:40 am. Wish it was tomorrow; two weeks is a long time to sit on my hands. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: SINSULL Date: 08 Jul 04 - 06:30 PM Then get out and work on your boat! Keep busy, Captain. It will help. SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: GUEST,Clint Keller Date: 08 Jul 04 - 08:49 PM Right, waiting is the hard part. I've been there twice, and never got to liking it, but both times the biopsy came out all right. And if it's not entirely right, there's generally something you can do. My old painting prof, Mary Kirkwood, was dedicated to oil painting; she never married on principle,because she thought it would interfere with the painting. She didn't let anything interfere with the paintiing. One day she said "You know, every time I hear of an artist that lost his hand and can't paint any more I have to laugh." And she laughed a while. I was a little shocked. Then she said. "If you know where the paint is supposed to go you can put it on with your elbow." Best case or worst case, you can survive, and prevail. (I'll push for best case.) clint |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 09 Jul 04 - 03:52 AM More positive thoughts coming across the Atlantic, Cap'n. RtS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: GUEST,Keith A o Hertford Date: 09 Jul 04 - 05:14 AM Hope you will come back over and see us again when it's all cleared up. We were all talking about your last visit and wishing you well at The Great Eastern last night. (If you do come back, please do not beguile and spirit away any more of our female population. This is a small island) Keith. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Jul 04 - 05:50 AM Keith - when he comes back I'll be with him and he will have NO CHANCE of spiriting away any other female AT ALL. Spaw - his thing's fine and so will he be. Kendall has a lot of Maine 'legends' that, to date, haven't been recorded. I reckon that he should be doing some of that in the next fortnight. What do you guys think? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 09 Jul 04 - 06:50 AM Yes! Jacqui, I can see that he already has excellent medicine! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Gurney Date: 09 Jul 04 - 07:07 AM Kendall, best wishes from a long way away. I have no succinct jokes for you, sorry. But I loved Alaska Mike's. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: kendall Date: 09 Jul 04 - 07:31 AM Blimey! that Jacqui is a forward minx! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Jul 04 - 07:41 AM Well - I had a good teacher, didn't I! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Jeri Date: 09 Jul 04 - 09:49 AM You need a forward minx! Now, if we could just get you to stop picking up words from her like 'blimey'! (Must sound interesting with a Maine accent.) I'm hoping for a cyst or polyp or something small, and I'm wishing for you strength, and light, and love. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Jul 04 - 09:59 AM Jeri - he got that one himself, I think from Mary Poppins. I tend to use slightly more Anglo Saxon words when the need arises. And yes, it does sound interesting hearing a Mainer putting on an English accent to use a word like that - think Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Jul 04 - 10:15 AM yes - recording some more Maine Legends (BY a Maine Legend) sounds like a fantastic idea - hell - even if only onto cassettes! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: CapriUni Date: 09 Jul 04 - 11:22 AM Another vote for the recording of Maine Legends.... I'd love to hear it... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: GUEST,Art Thieme Date: 09 Jul 04 - 11:37 AM Kendall, You know you have all the good vibes we can send---and if those are prayers, so be it. We need and want your voice as much as you do. Your tales and songs are now a part of many of us who have learned and stolen, er, collected your material for years. ------- More than that---BE WELL and I hope this is absolutely as benign as anything has ever been that. Love, Art and Carol Thieme |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: katlaughing Date: 09 Jul 04 - 03:46 PM You continue to be on my list for lots of love, Light, and healing energy, Kendalldarlin'...keep your positive Spirit up and we'll help along the way. luvya, Kat & Rog |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Amos Date: 09 Jul 04 - 04:05 PM 1. Here about the new recruit on Team Kendall?? 2. No!! Who is it? 1. English girl, Jackie something, a real go-getter. Very compatible. Excellent team player. 2. Really??? What -- first string? 1. Oh, no question. No farm league material for the Skipper! World class stuff! 2. Well!! What position will she be playing? 1. Oh, the word is she can handle almost anything in that regard, but we're starting her out as forward minx. 2. Sounds perfect!!! Can't wait to see her!! :>)) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Jul 04 - 04:48 PM LOL I'm on profiles and photographs, and maybe at the Getaway if all goes well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: kendall Date: 09 Jul 04 - 08:46 PM I talked to my ENT today, and he said he thinks it is going to be ok. I was concerned that it is going to be two weeks before I can get this thing removed, and it might be growing in the meantime. It didn't change in the 4 weeks between exams, so...I just hope he's right. Keep those positive thoughts coming folks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Ellenpoly Date: 10 Jul 04 - 05:32 AM I can only add my own wishes for your speedy recovery, Kendall. My positive thoughts, energy, and prayers will be aimed your way. ..xx..e |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: akenaton Date: 10 Jul 04 - 06:16 PM Wrong Sinsull, but she is a close confidante. Who still carries a torch for Kendall despite the past...Ake |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Bobert Date: 10 Jul 04 - 08:23 PM You'll be fine, Kendall.. Lookin' forward meetin' ya' at the Getaway, 'er what ever that thing is... ...and plan on bringing yer guitar, too. Bobert |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Don Firth Date: 10 Jul 04 - 08:48 PM Right, Alaska Mike. But as I recall, ENTs are very old and wise. If an ENT says that he thinks Kendall is going to be okay, that sounds pretty good to me. Hang in there, guy! We're pullin' for yah! Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 10 Jul 04 - 09:06 PM No Kendal, this is not allowed! You have to get your confuser under control so I can hear you on Paltalk... Robin |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Nancy King Date: 10 Jul 04 - 10:16 PM Well, jeez, Kendall, you're just too damn ORN'RY to let this thing get you! Beat it back with boat-puttering and legend-recording, while the rest of us send positive thoughts your way! See you at the Getaway, no matter what! Nancy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Jul 04 - 05:40 AM Yeah, things sound better! Kendall, you really do need to record some more of those Or what about the story of the tinsmith who made whale oil lamps? No one had any access to whale oil and hadn't had in 50 years, but he was not deterred. He made more and more lamps. One night as he sleeps, his wife removes his asshole with a corkscrew and he decides to make bird feeders instead. Please tell that one! It's so Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: kendall Date: 11 Jul 04 - 07:10 AM Ok, here is an example of the stuff I'd like to record, but they would ruin my reputation. I'd be called a COMEDIAN instead of a humorist. Abner Larrabee is a lifelong country bumpkin from Machias. One day he went to the big city, Bangor, on business. While there, he decided to get his hair cut in one of them fancy shops. While he was getting trimmed, there was a beautiful scantilly clad young woman fussing about and he couldn't take his eyes off her. All the women he knows are so ugly the tide won't take them out. He didn't know that she was a manicurist, and he didn't know there was such a thing, so you can imagine what he thought she was. After his hair is cut, she took his hand and said "Would you like to have your cuticle pushed back"? He shrank back in great embarrassment and replied "Oh no dear, I'm afraid it's back as far as it goes." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Amos Date: 11 Jul 04 - 09:32 AM Oi love it!! That could actually happen in some towns! Spaw, what is it with you? You're on vacation from the Cat eight days out of nine and when you show up you turn in some damn drivel like that and call it a post? It barely reminded me of your salad days. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Jul 04 - 10:39 AM Simple, kendall-- record it all, but use a fake name! Sell them alongside your own stuff, with a "review" on the cover by "kendall" saying how funny it is! :~) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: My problem is back From: Megan L Date: 11 Jul 04 - 10:54 AM Waiting teaches us patience! ah so thats why i failed the first aid exam exam it seamed like a good idea to wear my tshirt "to hell with patience lets create casulties" Hope all goes well keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. |
