off topic: anyone heard from Dan / Mailman1971 ?

[Monkey Man]

Sorry about Steve, man; must've been tough on ya. Went to a family funeral on Friday, so I think I know how you feel.

Great to know you're OK at least, brudda.

 

[Mailman1971]

Thanks monkey!
Kinda weird.
You hear the story of the Phoenix rise from ashes.
Feels like that for me. Total ‘get up brush your self off!!’
And I’m cool with that.
?

Lot of things happened.
But this is life.
Just grateful to be alive these days.
Been playing once a while.
My rig?
The Kamikaze and Diezel Herbert that both came from Steve.
Sounds amazing and will take this set up to my grave.

Just got diagnosed with skin cancer!
Doc froze off three spots.
If your outside a lot. Got a ‘mole’ or sore that refuses to heal...
Get checked out!! I had spots on my arm. Like 4 years.
That was cancer. Dont take It lightly

Good to see you back Dan. Glad you got that taken care of...it's easy to ignore a weird shaped mole, maybe it itches, maybe not...the only reason Melanoma gets people is by NEVER having it looked at, for years sometimes.
By then it might be too late.

I thought that ^^^ was Charvel Dan...

it is.....

 

[Mailman1971]

Thanks my man.
It’s just not been a good 2019 for me.
I roll with the punches. Lot of elderly family issues I carry around on my shoulders.
Brothers ..... if you have been ‘in charge’ of handling a elder relative please chime in
Been driving me nuts.

As you said 'though, we've really no option but to roll with the punches, considering the alternative...

PS... Was I right about the pool boy and Thailand?

 

[Beyond Black]

Glad to hear hear you’re alive and kicking, Dan! And glad you caught that melanoma, and that you stay on top of things like that. Keep on keeping on, Maleman!

Sorry to hear about your year so far.

No experience I can share but there's probably loads of info out there that can help.

Good to see you back in the saddle man As for elderly thats a rough one. If it has anything to do with Alzheimer's or dementia it's worth taking a 2 hour class to learn more about it and how to deal and approach it. I learned simple things like how to just walk with them but in a way where you guide them just by how you hold their arm... things like that. Usually a Geriatric Dr. or their counselor can point you in the right direction... or just buy more amps and guitars and crank that shit up

 

[Mailman1971]

Yes!!
It’s like that!
Just simple walking around.
Sounds easy but Not.
