The Support and Encouragement Thread

I'm so torn. Soulflower is so clearly wrong... but I have a real chance to kick TH in the shins by pretending to agree with her.

Everyone just needs to hang in Plug more.

I can butt heads with someone here on the board and then be rocking with them over a great tune over in Plug. Happened with SF very recently. Don't always agree with her here but I love her over on Plug. She always plays great stuff.

As long as everyone keeps the MB board and Plug separate it's all good!

I have a problem I'd like to vent a bit. I need to see a doctor about my elbow, which I've mentioned here, but there is one other thing that scares the living **** out of me. I have two lesions on my leg that look like beginning stages of cancer. I haven't told anybody about it. They've been there for a couple months, and they're getting worse. I've tried peroxide on them and they bubble up a bit, but it doesn't seem to help. My Dad went through chemo for two kinds of cancer (skin and colon) and is still kicking, but that's what frightens me. I watched as my ex-GF went through chemo treatments, and it's absolutely draining. Emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Is it cancer? Is it just some strange rash? I need to sign up for insurance, and make an appointment, and I'm legitimately fearing for my life everyday, and I try not to think about it. It makes me angry, sad, scared, weak, and confused. I want to be at peace again.

This week. I can't very well do anything about it right now, and it's not going to kill me in the time it takes to get insurance tomorrow, then set an appointment. I appreciate the concern Chula.

I've been looking at images of skin cancer, and it's pretty much a match for what's on my leg. When I first Googled it, my heart sank, but of course I am NOT qualified to diagnose anything on anyone, especially myself.

Oh man, let us know! If I was a praying man I'd be praying for ya, though I'm sure it's nothing. I'll ask Karen to intercede; she's big in with Jesus.

I had/have something on my back which scared the **** out of me and I left it for literally it must have been a year before finally gathering the courage to go to the doc. Turned out it was nothing. Not cancerous at all. But Jesus you **** yourself; the relief though when you're given the all clear. Worth it, and anyway if it is anything it can only be treated if they know about it.

Be thinking of ya man! Let us know as soon as you do (once you've let your family know, of course).

I'd also just like to point out that this is the only time I can remember when a member pursued another member into another thread to harangue them and carry on an argument. It's sad to see that Soulflower had no intention of offering support or encouragement here; her only reason for coming into the thread was to denigrate it and me, and carry on her personal feud with me. Instead of taking her grievances to PM where we could have discussed this as adults (maybe) she chose to spew vitriol all over a thread that had been created for the express purpose of being drama free. Hoping to get everyone to side against me (which nobody did, as after all I did nothing to be censured for, other than insult her which I have apologised for and which was only the one instance) she quickly lost it when nobody would agree with her and in the process made more enemies. Deja vu?

Whatever her problems with me, I think it was wrong to enter a thread for no other reason than to carry on a rant she had already been having in the thread concerned. In so doing, she managed to derail and bring down two separate threads, possibly a new record.

And what, in the end, did it achieve?
