Totally sold out of all my listed, keeping the ones near and dear to me for the vacation we are going to take one day and the occasional long weekend blow outs here at home.
Mrs 123 is Wonder Woman in my eyes. Not one complaint, moving along as if life was normal making my job (mostly moral support and driving) so much easier.
She sends thanks to all for the support, well wishes and help with buying out my overstock to go towards her medical deductibles.
Big Hug from her, not me tho, I'm way too macho for thatLiar

Hey guys
Bad news here- Mrs123 is diagnosed with cancer and will begin chemo followed by surgery later in the year-hopefully no radiation. Good news is it was caught relatively early and the prognosis is very good. Bad news, her substandard health insurance has a 9800 deductible and some exclusions so we need to tighten our belts.

I'm gonna thin out my burgeoning collection and hope some things I have maybe things you want. Of course, I'm keeping and smoking all my gifted cigars which are very plentiful-please do NOT send me any more!

Also after I already got a crazy offer of just money- NO! Just NO. I just wanted to be doing something while she has to deal with fighting it. Makes me feel less helpless.

I'll list what I have and what I paid for it if I can find that info. I wouldn't pay full price on anything so I don't expect anyone else to. If I paid too much for something just give me a fair offer and I'll accept it.
If its an SFR box and you spend over $60, I'll do free ship
If its medium and you spend over $150- same deal.
I'm willing to split boxes.

UPDATED 3/06:

TOTALLY SOLD OUT
You guys are amazing- thanks so much for all the help!

think this will do it for me
PM if interested
Many thanks to all who helped out with wishes and purchases!

Thx Madspackler. Actually, you guys are more than acceptable on the spectrum of "internet buddies". Seen more kindness here than most places, it's why I was comfortable unburdening. Knew your thoughts and wishes would buoy me up so I can do same for my much better half.

Very sorry to hear. Also grateful to hear they’ve caught it early. If there’s anything I can do send me a pm. I don’t know you very well but I’ve heard you’re one of the most generous on the forum. If your boxes of smokes don’t move super fast I could buy one if it helps you out. I’m not really looking but I’m also trying to be helpful.

I’m never the guy that knows what to say so I often don’t say much. Best wishes sir. I am here

I’m sorry to hear this Benja. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. I am in the same boat as Jake, not particularly looking, but if they don’t move fast enough please let me know, I’ll grab a box. Take care of yourself.

WB,Streetrod and Jsnyder- truly thankful for your thoughts and prayers. The invincible Mrs123 is grateful for all the well wishes from this amazing forum, she's tired of reassuring me she'll be fine. No rush on my bakesale, I just feel more useful towards the cause doing it. Will put some new stuff/list up after I dig through the big bin.

so sorry to hear the terrible news about your wife...tell her that grammas are tougher than cancer....hmmm...betcha she already knows...

wishing her a full and speedy recovery and that you and your family stay safe and together through this trial...

hoping her primary oncologist is a George Clooney lookalike...I always felt better in the hospital when my nurses were easy on the eyes, especially the ones with low cut blouses...

Thanks Delta for the diversionary tale/tail?
I thought her oncologist was a nice looking guy but she said not her type. The surgeon who placed the port was even shorter than her and alittle too touchy for my taste but he seemed competent. She'll end up using a female surgeon for major surgery after chemo. She is very pleased with her team.
Thanks to all who helped me out here, both emotionally and financially-I edited the list and I'm in pretty good shape here so not pity buying please! only if you actually want them.

jjkilburn and delta- appreciate letting me know items received and thanks again for helping me out with my cigarfund. It makes me feel like I'm doing something useful, not surprisingly Mrs123 is more worried about the extra cost for deductibles than her situation so this helps her feel less culpable-crazy right? Not like she asked for this. First chemo went extremely well, she is having none of the side effects they anticipated.
iIzon, your message and thoughts are appreciated.

Delta sent you PM when you have a moment

Second round of chemo was a breeze. Only one day of stomach upset but she hasn't had to take any of the scrips given to alleviate symptoms. Appetite unaffected, great energy level and blood work is strong. She's surprised it is as easy as it has been for her and we are all very happy. Still have the above listed sticks if anyone is interested.

Thanks Clint, appreciate the well wishes and will tell mrs123. She is still doing her exercises but said probably after the 3rd round she would have to slow down.
