I'm not a big fan of the iditarod, but I am a huge fan of this dude:



Nobody's ever been so dominant in competitive mushing, but he's fallen on hard times. When he was at his peak a few years ago, he was also fighting cancer. The other mushers couldn't beat him fair and square, so they tried to get him dq'd for smoking weed. But ak is a medicinal state so the race committee let him do it.

Legacy: his dad won by 1 second back in 1978, when the race was only 5 years old.

His little brother is in the race this year, and while he probably won't do as well as hid dad and big bro, he continues the tradition of being part of the coolest fucking family in dog mushing:

Most competitive mushers are dickheads but these guys rock :rockon:!

@Vicki Ti . . . awesome :tup: I just got the go ahead from my oral surgeon on my bone implant to head back to the dentist for a mold for the new crown. I'll try to get a copy of my x-ray I saw the other day that shows it in my skull . . .

Some days its all I can do to poke my head up, take a hit, and slide back under the covers . . . :zzz:

This is our oldest cat, Sable. She's almost 17 years old now. She has started to lose control of her bladder while she sleeps, so she now has to wear a diaper.

My surgery is tomorrow at 11:30 at the hospital. Maybe I'll see you on the way in @mvapes :)

Have you considered proin? My 100 dog year-old bitch has also lost control of her sphincter and I have it under control with half of the recommended dose for her body weight. She hates pills so I grind them up into a powder and mix it with her nupro silver-label nutritional powder. I've read the warnings but at 1/2 dose I'm not concerned because it has drastically improved the quality of what life she has left.

@Vicki - this is an old Jewish prayer for a friend before surgery.

I am scared, G_d. I feel vulnerable.
I don’t like feeling helpless.
I am worried. So before my surgery I pray:

I place my body and soul in Your hands. Please watch over me, G_d, in the operating room. Stay
beside me. Never leave me. Strengthen my will to live. Enlighten my doctors and nurses with the
skill, wisdom and insight to mend and cure me properly. Let this procedure go smoothly without
complication. Watch over my loved ones who are worrying about me now. Remind me that I am
resilient. That I can and will grow stronger each day. Bless me, G_d, with Your healing power,
protect me from all harm, shield me from pain. And when I wake, G_d, give me the courage and
passion to fight for the sacred treasure You have granted me: my life. Amen.

אני פוחד, G_d. אני מרגיש פגיע.
אני לא אוהב את התחושה של חוסר אונים.
אני מודאג. אז לפני הניתוח שלי אני מתפלל:

אני ממקם את הגוף ואת הנשמה שלי בידיים שלך. אנא תשמור עליי, G_d, בחדר הניתוח. להישאר
לצדי. אף פעם לא תעזוב אותי. לחזק את הרצון שלי לחיות. להאיר את עיניי רופאים ואחיות עם
מיומנות, חוכמה ותובנה כדי לתקן ולרפא אותי כמו שצריך. בואו הליך זה ילך בצורה חלקה, ללא
סיבוך. להשגיח על יקיריי שדואגים לי עכשיו. הזכר לי שאני
גמיש.שאני יכול ואתחזק בכל יום. תברך אותי, G_d, עם כוח הריפוי שלך,
להגן עליי מכל הרע, להגן עליי מכאב.וכשאני מתעורר, G_d, תן לי את האומץ ואת
תשוקה להילחם על אוצר הקדוש אתה הענקת לי: החיים שלי. אמן.
