Good question, but I'll play gross out from what I remember seeing here in the past. I had two pimento cheese sandwiches with extra mayo when I got home ... and a politically correct Dr Pepper. For all you pimento cheese haters, you should try some Pawley Island "palmetto cheese" - complete with the South Carolina state logo on the label. It's pretty dry - mostly cheese and pimento which is why I always add mayo. Just for Hog and a couple of you other heathens - I didn't have a dill pickle with the sandwiches - I've been known to swill a little dill pickle juice from time to time, too.

I would..and have...actually starve to death or eat the neighbors cat before I would eat that garbage. I sat at a kitchen table rather than swimming pool with the other kids for 6 hours due to pimcheese. Got the sitter fired fpr making a 5yo kid sit in a kitchen chair still from noon til bout 6pm when my mom picked me up. I knew i could never keep it down, so eating it just meant i had to taste it going both ways. Hell will rent ice skates first....

Tell my kids "cheese makes any food better 'cept birthday cake." Nearly a true statement.

My BIL who is a year younger than me...44..had a massive heart attack and was dead for about 9mins. His feet are black as the pit anout halfway up his calves due to necrosis. Drs said today he will never wake from the coma and its just a matter of when to unplug him. I love him like a brother...and due partly to age have more in common with him than my remaining living brother. He is a saved Christian who was keen on the Word and kindhearted. A decade plus of heavy opioid addiction is likely what ruined his heart. We adopted his teenage son a few years ago, now my wife will surely push to adopt his youngest 2 boys. They are 6 and 9yo...she already has them in the same Christian school as my other kids.

For those keeping score at home, in the last 3 years we have lost
My 25yo little bro then
My Dad 9 weeks later then
My Pappaw and shortly
My Granny so no more GPs then
My FIL to sepsis 37 days in covid
Now my 43yo BIL and...
I just got back from Ktown last weekend bc my mom had her 3rd heart attack since my Dad died.

My wife is in many ways a saint, and a beautiful person inside and out...but after several trips thru counseling and lots of prayer it looks like divorce is now a certainty. You would think 2 people who love eachother and have been faithful for 20 years could figure out how to make it work....but sometimes that just isnt the case. I will not ever draw up papers to divorce her, but when she does i will not be angry or bitter. Sometimes people can grow apart while in plain sight and often those we love the most make us bear the brunt of all their anger, stress, unhappiness etc. While i have to this day always been sweet to her and tried to make her happy, i have surely made my share of mistakes and sometimes been oblivious to signs right in front of me...i have always been a little awkward socially and very introverted. I have a blind spot to feelings and situations that apparently really piss women off lol.

Anyway, despite everyone i love thats older than me being either dead now, or my dying Mama...I have a job to do. My 14yo daughter said that i am her best friend the other day....and i will do my best to be a great Dad to my kids while starting from scratch again at 45. I left my wife the house and everything in it, save my clothes, when she asked me to leave. Material things have never mattered to me...and i want my kids, my BILs kids, and her to have the best of everything possible. Thankfully my biological 2 are older and will handle this OK...the other 3 dont care much anyway haha...i am at the house 3 nights a week anyway to spend time with the kids apart from my wife.

Anyway, the anonymity of this board affords me a chance to say these things out loud...which i would never do in public. We will be fine over here in NC. ..and i plan to stick around at least long enough to see my daughter...my love....finish college and settle with a good man who will love, honor, cherish, and protect her at least a little better than i managed with her mom. Then i can have peace. Yall pray for my kids tho Hunter and Hannah, and my Mom Cheryl up in Alcoa. They might need it. Appreciate yall and Go VOLS.

I sincerely hope that things turn in the right direction for you, Marcus. That's a lot to carry around - especially the marriage difficulties. Marriage is really tough for a lot of us. You are probably not so different when it comes to relationships than a lot of us. It's so hard figuring out the right thing to say to a wife, and usually somehow it seems to be the wrong thing. I think we are born to be problem solvers; and when wives go on a rant they don't really want feedback ... at least that's what mine tells me from time to time when I put my foot in it - which seems most of the time. Of course, if you don't say anything, then you can be accused of not paying attention. A lot of it is damned if you do and damned if you don't. The main problem is that men and women are just different, and we simply don't see things the same way.

Hey @kiddiedoc I have a question about a skin issue, no idea if this is in your wheel house or not. So after 35+ years in TX I finally got an abnormal mole which I got biopsied and it if course came back as basal cell. I’m not concerned and it’s a minor issue but going forward filling out paperwork does this mean technically I have a “cancer history” and merely need to explain it was a fully excised basal cell and there were no further actions or can I continue to say no? Thx in advance.
