I just listened to Waylon and I'm pretty sure he says "Just the good ole boys". I could have sworn it was "just two good ole boys" too. All I'm absolutely sure of is that they're making their way the only way they know how and that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

I'm usually pretty open about my health. You guys know I've been sick for a while now (about 2 1/2 years). My doctors and I assumed it was my autoimmune disease because the symptoms were indicative of that. So, we've been treating it that way. I wasn't getting any better though. So, last December, I insisted that my GI doc do an endoscopy to check on some issues. Well, on March 13th, she informed me that one of the samples she had taken for biopsy turned out to be neuroendocrine cancer (the bad news). Turns out neuroendocrine cancer, which is rare, also has a lot of the same symptoms of my autoimmune disease. I saw an oncologist and he ordered a PET scan, which I found out yesterday showed the cancer had not spread (the good news). Also good news is that they caught it early, it's a slow growing cancer, and it's just in the right spot to totally avoid chemo and/or radiation. I really didn't want to talk about it until I knew exactly what I was dealing with. It has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. I'm mostly upbeat and positive, but there are times when it's incredibly hard, especially when the severe fatigue and GI symptoms hit. I'll be having surgery soon to remove the tumor and recovery might take a few months. You're in good hands with Hoss looking after the place though.

Uh oh. Looks like I've gotta update/redo the theme. I hope not. Thanks for the heads up.

I just updated the forum software. Everything looks good, but if you find any issues, let me know!

Yeah, it's nice to have you back here, dukesonline! We hope you stick around a while.

Ours went forward a few weeks ago. I still should have used that as an excuse as to why I didn't have time to put together the moderator guide.

I guess this means I can go on that long vacation I've been dreaming of now. And that reminds me, I totally forgot to put together that moderator guide last weekend...

By the power vested in me as the owner of HazzardNet, I hereby declare HossC as the newest moderator of our forums. Many of you know he's a long time veteran of HazzardNet and has been keeping a keen eye on the forums in my absence, so I figured we'd make it official and give him moderator superpowers to toss any spammers and riff-raff in the hoosegow.

Congratulations, Hoss! Remember all of us little people when you're famous!

I watched Cool Hand Luke the night before he died. He was one of my favorite character actors.

Man, that crash... 18 cars. That looked gruesome. Glad everyone's ok!

We got 6" of snow last night. More is expected tomorrow and 8-12" of snow predicted for Tuesday. We've never gotten this much snow ever. We're not going anywhere for a while...

Oops. I posted on the FB page, but not here.

Hmm... that must've happened the last time HazzardNet was hacked many years ago. Thanks for the compliments, Roger. I'm not a hero, but I'm glad HNet has brought you such happiness over the years.

I am rooting FOR the Rams. As a California girl and someone who grew up near L.A., I'm a long time Rams fan. Loved the Kurt Warner years. I was hoping for a Chargers/Rams Super Bowl, but that was a huge longshot. My family lived in San Diego until the early 70's and I still have plenty of relatives near San Diego, so I've been a Chargers fan for a while too. They were my grandmother's favorite team.

Guess who turned 20 years old on January 11th? Completely slipped my mind. I started HazzardNet on 1/11/1999. I want to thank everyone who has helped make HazzardNet what it is and who've stuck with me all these years. I know I haven't been around much lately due to health issues and stress from work, so I'm incredibly grateful so many of you are still here keeping the spirit of the Dukes alive.

I know there's a state park named after some of my distant ancestors in NY, Letchworth State Park. Jimmie had ancestors with the same last name in the same county in the same time period as mine. I would be willing to bet that with such an uncommon name in the same area in the late 1600's/early 1700's, Jimmie and I were probably distant cousins. I just haven't been able to find a connection yet, but I keep looking. That said, I wonder if there's a castle somewhere named for or belonging to my ancestors.

Jimmie was fond of limericks. Some of the ones he told me, I can't repeat here.

I love that show. I found it on Netflix and watched all the episodes they had over a weekend.

You guys.

My sister takes the tree down the day after Christmas. We leave ours up at least halfway through January. I don't like it to end either, Roger.

I'll look into it. Looks like there's an update to the software, so I'll try to get that done this weekend to see if it fixes any of the issues.

I'm acquainted with Boxing Day. We have a lot of Canadians here in Washington state. I usually take a week around Christmas off and I don't go out into the hordes of shoppers (too many germs!).

I'm more Scottish (mostly from Ayrshire) than Irish and I only know a bit of Scottish Gaelic. "Ciamar a tha thu?" And I'm more British than Scottish and Irish put together. I have a tiny dash of Native American. Research suggests that one of my 5th great-grandmothers was Chickasaw.
