I am preparing for my productive visit through the PORTAL. If I’m not back before the shipping cut off date for Christmas delivery, please reach in and pull me out.

Parker, I was not aware of your daughter’s fight with cancer. This sounds like very good news. Yes, thank God for the research that brings us new blessings each passing year. What a gift it is! My best wishes for a complete recovery for her.

I echo the sentiments of all who come in praise of neo. It is a place of reasonable discussion in an unreasonable world. A place of learning as well.

Merry Christmas to neo and all her loyal readers and commenters.

Parker,
That is truly great news. Have a fantastic Christmas.

Neo,

I’ll try to place my order (for US relatives) this weekend.

“Hope your daughter is doing okay.”

Thanks for remembering Curtis…. the latest news is very good, in fact its excellent! The various scans show no further cancer beyond the one breast & one lymph node (extracted) AND the pathology results show the tumors had a protein on the cell membrane that a reliable chemo drug attacks and destroys with 99% effectiveness.

She’s in for a hard 9 months of chemo, just to make sure, plus reconstructive surgery; but all in all we are going to celebrate a very merry Christmas and happy new year. We are thankful for the ‘miracles’ American research provides. Let no one doubt the life saving benefits provided by the capitalistic American medical/health care research paradigm.

As a family (and our circle of friends who have strongly supported us during this crisis) we give thanks for this positive news and recognize it as the best gift we have ever received. Across 3 generations we have decided that no presents will be exchanged this season as each family member will be donating to cancer research as best as they are able. (My grandson, age 6, is donating $5.68.)

“Parker: thanks so very much!”

You are more than welcome neo. I am so fond of your blog as to call it love of this tiny landscape in the digital world. So thank you Neo and all who post their ‘treasonous’ thoughts at neo-neocon. You are a unique and distinctly knowledgeable group of people. I discover so much info and gain a greater perspective of the world (past and present) at this outpost in a world of insanity.

Bless neo and each and everyone who posts here.

I think your right, Parker. I’m a stingy Irishman so you know if I’m contributing, there’s naught aught but gut.
