Joan you also should look out for falling trees if you go outside

Blue you should add a few other cancer checks to your list....the most important is colon cancer.....simple sample is a start but after age 50 should have at least a sigmoidoscopy or better a colonoscopy...you know thats the fiver optic tube up you know where....I just had that done...really not that bad

Also skin check for melanoma..this is a deadly skin tumor...any skin spot that is new or changes color or gets bigger deserves a look by an expert

a PSA and rectal exam for prostate is probably also worthwhile but screening raises difficult questions as many cases of prostate cancer have a benign long course so its hard to figure out who to treat once you have determined someone has it...ends up many more people get treated than is necessary

Techride: THE INTERVIEW part III by yor frend Jed

Mario: Good morning Jed!

Jed: Top of the mornin 2 ya young fellar. Boy da Elks are in rut at BLUE's howse, kept us up bugling all night long. Day only breed oncest a yar so when day is ready day are horney. Guess U will want to no da rest of da Techride story.

Mario: Yes, it was getting really good, BLUE had met Joan.

Jed: Yes dat wuz funnE. Joan had been postin wid da boys fur a whiles when BLUE notussed dat Joan might B a woman n not a man.
So BLUE asts her, OK, he pushed her 2 tell da mens.

Mario: Do you know why he did this?

Jed: BLUE wanted 2 make a point to da all guys on a board, dat womens can pics stoks as good or bettR den mens. Joan wuz just learnin bout da innernets an she wuz smart, a real fast learner. B4 U noed it, she wuz startin 2 pick stoks 2 n good 1s.

Mario: What was that board like back then.

Jed: Well, most peoples who were dar called it Camelot, n in ways it wuz. It wuz fur BLUE cause he wuz makin new frends while stayin home and for da firstus tine started talkins bout MRS. BLUE's and his Dad's cancer. Da whole tine BLUE wuz dealin wid it he talked 2 nobody about it, just his Ol' Yellow Dog. On da innernet he talked 2 peoples bout it 4 da firstus tine so dat wuz good, 2 get it out. So da board helped BLUE while he helped dem.

Mario: Well if it was Camelot then why did Joan, BLUE and others leave?

Jed: Well tings happuned. Sum of da saim tings that are happenun right now on SI. Da more people U hav postin da more chances R dat a jerk will show up. BLUE havin worked in Sy-chol-O-G spots em quick n on AOL dar wuz no SI Bob, idiots run free n when day came to Camelot BLUE got pissed. Reallee pissed. He built da board n dat took sum tine.

Mario: What upset him?

Jed: Peoples who talked bout Vietnam n nevar served a day in da servus of dar countree. Peoples talking bout Nixon, BLUE served 4 Nixon, n he nos whut 99.9% of da peoples don't bout Nixon so dat made BLUE bout as happy as seein Hanoi Jane Fonda.

Mario: Why would people talk about what they know nothing about?

Jed: That's whut got BLUE. Den he wuz makins so much monies on da innernet stoks dat he wanted to share. Back den U could make a killin on small floats so BLUE tried 2 teach peoples how 2 makes monies on innernets because da whole board whoodn't invest in dem. BLUE got attacked by 1 of da peoples dat didnt understand innernets so BLUE just stopped postin in protest of idiots.

Mario: What happened next?

Jed: This went on 4 a long tine, dummies who no noting bout innernets or da servus attackin peoples or sayin untrue, dumb tings.
BLUE had enuff 1 day, so he sent PMs 2 Joan, Sundanz, Moooooonman, n udders frum dat board n asked dem if day wanted 2 move. So day moved, BLUE napped a nudder board n AOL got pissed when day found him. So BLUE napped anudder board n Joan, Mooon, Sundanz n udders started 2 post n bingo day had a nue Camelot.

Mario: Well if they had Camelot again, how did they ever come to SI?

Jed: It wuznt long B4 da nasty, dummie peoples found da board, waited 2 the 2nd of the month n den day posted a insane threat on the board, pure harassment.

Mario: So what did AOL do?

Jed: Harassed n censored BLUE, Joan, Moooon, Sundanz n udders, pulled boards where they posted. BLUE talked to them, day wanted BLUE 2 take the gang 2 the ol' board n BLUE told dem 2 kiss his a$$ he wouldn't be told where 2 post or whut 2 post. He told dem day were out of control n had no right to censor or harass any 1, whicted AOL did, n BLUE n Joan printed da harassment B4 day pulled da boards so dar is proof positive.

Mario: I take it that is where SI comes in?

Jed: Yes sir, dat's where. BLUE talked 2 a guy in GNET's management who said dat BLUE could start a nue board on SI 4 his frends n not B harassed n day chood talk bout anyting day wanted.
U C dat is da C-rit BLUE found out long tine ago. Serreus boards are 4 peoples who R losin monies n were born wid a stick up dar a$$. AOL, YHOO n udder boards R full of peoples like dis n latelee day are showin up on SI.

Mario: So what you are really saying is SI may face the same problems AOL and others have?

Jed: Yes sir, whut SI has to realize is dat day have a golden goose wid SI. Peoples pay to make da content, dat makes da product, dat day pay 4. Jeff n Brad were vis-hun-arry, day made da purfect innernet business moddell, dats dar real place in history. If day lose da good peoples who makes da content, den day lose. Like AOL, BLUE has nevar posted dar again n peoples went frum AOL 2 SI. BLUE found dat talkin bout whutevar U want, makin monies n havin fun is whut makes a gra8 board, U can hav dat anywhair.

Mario: So the SI Techride, how did you come up with the name.

Jed: BLUE n Joan both racked dar brains n Joan who is smart had a millyun of them. Day both liked Techride 2 name the SI board.

Mario: Yes, it does have a ring to it.

Jed: U bet young fellar. Joan n BLUE dun da saim ting 4 a innernet domain name. Day went thru a pile of names n U no whut day ended up wid? Da same ting, techride.com

Mario: Is that active yet?

Jed: Nope, insurance is whut dat is.

Mario: So what are your thoughts on SI Techride?

Jed: It is a cyber home, mor den just a board. It is frends, peoples, good peoples who care bout each udder, people day hav nevar met, day really care bout dem, that is da beauty of the innenet n Techride in partickular. U gets 2 make frends. U know it wuz John Kennedy who said "life is not fair", n he wuz right it is not fair. So when life is not fair 2 U, it is nice 2 havs frends. Techride is reallee a family.

Mario: I see where BLUE started the cOUSIN SHORTY, TLC, Missing board. Why did he do that?

Jed: MayB to be funnE, mayB 2 make a point, U nevar no wid BLUE, only tine tells U whut BLUE is up 2. N-nee-way day are missin as any1 can C.

Mario: Techride seems to grow, what do you think it will become?

Jed: Hard 2 say. It is mor of a Camelto den da ol' board already. Good peoples flock 2 good peoples so Techride will always grow. BLUE picked sum Techriders but most pick demselves. No invite needed, da welcum mat is out 4 peoples who want to talk bout anyting, make monies n have fun.

Mario: I hear BLUE, his brother and you are going into the wilderness? When will you be back?

Jed: Hard 2 say, U nevar no wid BLUE, U just go. So mayB we will B bac in a week, mayB nevar. Dats why U have 2 B nice 2 peoples, U nevar no when U will look round n day will be gone.
