People and life are complicated, huh.

Psychotic.

The tattoos--she is psychotic.

Got to be the most bizarre amateur diagnosis of the week,

I liked your unedited statement better. You indicated great joy in Rufus' take on my statement. That is what we are doing isn't it, having fun?

My very first piano moving job was a piano from Liberace. He gave it (left to) Hank and Ray of antique faire on Market street. These two guys were long time antique dealers in philly. They started out as window designers for Macys in nyc. One day they sent Liberace a antique candelabra when he was performing in philly. They sent it with a note. A little something to sit on top of your piano.
2 years after Liberace's estate was settled. They receive a large wood crate along with a note " a little something for under your candelabra". It was delivered buy a freight trucking company. They refused to take it inside. They only drop things curbside. Lucky for Hank and Ray. I was scheduled to make a furniture delivery to them later that day. When i showed up hank was waiting outside in a panic. Telling me "Raymond is out back with a package we need it inside"
Around back is Ray with a snow shovel in his arms and tears in his eyes. He had the shovel to fend of would be thieves. Ray was 110 lbs soaking wet. that shovel was not going to help him. The tears were for the loss of their friend and the emotion of receiving a piano from him.
All i could think of was you got to be kidding me. I never moved a piano before. Hank and ray had a store packed full. Walking around in there was hard enough. They had no room for a grand piano. It only gets better. When i opened up that crate. There was a mirrored piano in there. Not only is it large and heavy it's F%^king glass. Ray doubles over in more tears. saying "it's from the time we saw him in (i forget what state he said) I got into their shop with no damage to it or their store. They paid me well and were very happy with how things turned out. The guy that was with then is still working with me. It's something we laugh about a lot. Our first piano was a half a million dollars in value. I only wish cell phone cameras were around then. Some of those photos would have been priceless. A glass Fu%$ing grand piano!

Regarding the editing, I thought the original message might have been interpreted as unnecessarily aggressive. We are at play, after all , though, at times, I am not certain.

Hi Robert, That is an outstanding contribution to the conversation invited by the Statement of a photo of Liberace . He certainly was an interesting character, particularly in those early days of TV, so having the glass piano episode added from your own life's journey adds a charming additional depth to what some of us may know about him.

Yet, she is a beautiful - exceptional, really - and a courageous woman. She had a double-mastectomy, as a preventive measure, and considering her profession and the premium it places on physical appearance, I am so glad she came out of the ordeal so healthy looking...

...Anyone who would undergo serious surgery on the possibility of what might happen is, in my opinion, a few bricks shy of a full load.

I hope you never have prostate problems, sir.

It is indeed. She has had a very rough time from childhood on. She blames her father for much of it. Jon Voight had an affair, her parents divorced, then her mother died of ovarian cancer. Angelina felt so alone in the world. She became a cutter. (Both men and women self-injure to "feel better.") She has attempted suicide several times. Brad Pitt, the children, and tattoos were stabilizing factors for her. Now that Brad is gone from her life, I hope the children and tattoos are enough to keep her happy.

Now that's one I like. Pure, innocent fun. I wish we could hear the music. I got to ride one of the big ones at Coney Island when I was a child (Steeple Chase Park). There are a number of restored ones in Michigan. One at Greenfield Village, another at Crossroads Village, I love the" Wurlitzer" "band" calliopes in the middles of he unit and the artistry of the carved animals.

Have you ever seen me take offense? I listen to the message hidden in the aggression and respond accordingly. Your joy at Rufus' comment did not bother me, I was happy to see you laugh.

The way you have it stated above indicates to me that there was NO CANCER at the time of the surgery. Sorry but I'm not going to start having body parts lopped off until there is ACTUALLY something wrong.

The odds in her genetics were exceptionally bad. Rationale was probably beats doing this later and then dying from metastatic disease.

Rufus is right. The lady did what she did, based on her genetics. It was brave - and smart. E7, you go ahead and ignore your genetics. You'll be the one "a few bricks shy of a full load".

It's usually only done when there is a history of an aggressive form in the persons mothers/grandmothers. By the time it's detected it's probably already metastasized/spread.

There was something wrong - her genetics were already so heavily predisposed to her having cancer that by the time it might be detected it would have been metastatic and effectively incurable.
