Quiet hero goes under the knife today [Purp]
— Open Blogger

At least one good thing will happen today.

College athlete cuts short his senior year to be a bone marrow donor and save someone's life. DNA said he was a perfect match, a 1:5,000,000 shot.

No. Hesitation. All may not be lost if we're still producing young people like this. Prayers and fast recovery for the both of you.

There are many of us that wish for the pillow soft orbs most huge with a finite nipple surrounded by limped brown areol most large

such is the "BREASTUS!!" of our desires....

8 Nice uplifting story Purp, thanks for sharing.

Lets just keep the chat up and swing the conversation where the wind blows

Did I hear something about Mergovin's wine cellar? CDR's weight room???

Posted by: Richard at April 23, 2013 11:44 PM (y401u)

10 I can only assume you guys are on the left coast. No other good reason for you to be up at this hour. If I have to go back and read the ONTo I will, but what's the deal with with CDRs weight room? I spent 20 years in the fitness insisted.

11 Hospitals are open all night, every night. Left coast, East coast, everywhere.

12 some people work 3rd shift in places other than hospitals.

21 For my fellow nightwalkers; spectacular views of Venus, Jupiter and the elusive planet Mercury together in the WNW skies May 24-29. I'm sure CAC will note this but I wanted to beat him to it.

23 I just put Windows 2000 on an old machine.

That was a damned fine release. If MS had done nothing other than add device support to it I could have been happy forever.

NT4 was solid but spartan and lacked PnP/USB.
Win98 was nice looking and started adding decent PnP and USB.

Windows 2000 was the best of each smacked together.

26 Utah man comes to the aid of a neighbor with a katana. One look at the sword and the attacker fled. He chose, wisely.

30 I got up to let the wee dog teetee and saw the paper guy in my driveway. Now I'll have to spin up my blood pressure by looking at the 'news' though I won't read the paper when I can read aos, and besides who else can bring the appetizers like PA? I wonder if we have milk in the fridge? BTW, raining in east Texas.

31 Okay, the Day Shift is here! I am going to the main office today to renew my 1st Aid CPR Certificate. You all will just have to wait for the mouth-to-mouth until I get back this afternoon.

40 Two years ago one of the girls in my brats class had chemo and came back to school with a wig All the girls in the class and most of the moms donated to locks of love

41 There'd be a lot more if they were allowed to be paid for giving their marrow.

I understand the arguments but to me they're stupid and baseless and condemn thousands to death because of the laws.

Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at April 24, 2013 02:58 AM (Kpn/z)

42 41 Bitter Clinger,

it all goes back to the fucked up, mutilated, and malignant "morality" of a system that thinks Gosnell went just a step or two too far but that money is "evil"

--I agree. The ~~donor~~ vendor should not only be allowed to sell, but choose the ~~recipient~~ buyer, in the event he prefers the precious tissue/organ go to someone responsible or grateful. I say this as someone irresponsible with his liver.

Posted by: logprof at April 24, 2013 03:14 AM (+iA5G)

44 If you can sell blood, why not marrow?

46 This is one of my beautiful American people.

After I read about him, and the mother and daughter in the hospital together in Boston, and all the support they are getting, even from those wonderful, courageous Marines, I'm in tears.

Now all we have to do is get the government to do their part: stop the attackers before they hit so we are not called to so much heroism.
