    Well, Holy Get Wells, Batman!!!!

    Received the awesome "postcard of well wishes" today and impressive just doesn't quite cut it as a suitable adverb!!! Given the amount of time and sheer breath of moving parts involved it is an absoloute marvel!!!

    My wife, was particularly impressed by all the individual member "Get Wells". She knows I do something for a "charitable & hobby" benefit, but had no idea how many individuals were involved!!! Quite frankly, I don't think I ever bothered to take a moment to "count", LOL!!!

    What can I say? THANK YOU ALL!!!!

    You may rest assured that your intentions are well received in that I am inspired to step up my "PT" at the new facility I arrived at today. I think they refer to it as a "Sub-Acute" facility. Whatever, that may entail in the medical world, stationary bikes, weights and exercises seem to be a central compononent for the near future!!!! I'll have that "postcard" in the forefront as an inspiration from all the wonderful folks at TDT.Org!!!!


    Spoiler:
    Do not for a moment think that I have not noticed some of those members that put aside petty differences and did the bigger thing. Your gauntlet of good will is well received and I intend to do my best to reciprocate!!!!


    Again, Thank you all!!!!!! What a freaking web site!!!!!

    Hey Bill,

    I am thrilled that you are doing better and well enough to check in on us. I too notice the petty issues have been swept aside and the well wishes have been well stated. From day one I have felt this is a community not a web site and thankfully that has been proven to be correct yet again.

    Now with human nature being what it is most people are curious. I don’t know if it’s OK with Bill or not but here goes on what happened.

    Spoiler:
    As most know Bill is working on quitting smoking. Well the other day he picked up a pack of nicotine gum and popped a piece in and started chewing away. He then took a look at the back of the box and that is when things went downhill real fast. The gum was made be a pharmaceutical company in Boston. He instinctively spit it out but it was too late, the damage was done and we all know the aftermath. The horror of thinking something useful could come out of Boston! Thankfully things have turned around. I just shudder in my boots when I think of what the outcome would have been if he had grab a nicotine patch instead of the gum. I don’t think his Yankee love’n ass could have handled that.


    Ok so I may have made part of that up but….
    Perhaps I am simply a madman who dreamt of being sane for a little while.

    Never been so happy to see someone post a LOL - good to have you back Bill!

    Bill, if you are reading this, it's time you knew the truth...

    You have been lied to. It's 2115, you were in a coma for 100 years... Everyone you have seen since waking up is a hologram, they don't want you to know the truth until you have fully recovered.
    Thanks to advances in medical science, many of the members you knew are still around, I'm have had 2 full organ replacements and RF is on his 3rd Body. (He's gone back to being a man for the first time in 20 years). We have managed to keep the site running on an emulator to give you that early 21st century feel, these days we all use DCDT's (Direct Cortex Data Transfer) to communicate and get information.

    There some good news and bad news... SK has been kept alive as a digital construct and has just finished the 14th book on the Dark Tower, so you have a lot to catch up on. The bad news is you have missed out on the opportunity to buy the S/L's - sorry. Also you have missed out on the 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and the fabulous 100th anniversary editions of all the early books. both CD and PS publishing did some great work on these until paper became a scarce resource. Once you are up and about you can teleport down to the Carlos Detweiller museum and see the actual books (you cant touch them as they are held in time stasis to preserve them) but I can get you a special pass so you don't have to wait in line with the other 1000's that visit daily.

    Welcome back Bill!

    Oh and one last thing, I'll let someone else tell you about the Yankees, such a shame....

    There he is!!

    Welcome back Bill. Such a relief to see you back here.

    They should put a Sox punchbag in the hospital gym just for you, you'll be like He-Man in a week. If they dangle a Lettered firestarter infront of the treadmills they'll think Usain Bolt just walked in.

    Take it easy.
    Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!

    (Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)
