The Wild, Wild West, Arizona and Cowboy Poetry
Updated: 27 April 2017
******************
27 April 2017 this web site was 20 years old, the 1st by a Carcinoid
patient!
********************
There is
HOPE for those diagnosed with
Carcinoid/NETS.
I've started
my 23rd year of active, full life: May 10, 1995 -- May
10, 2017.
April 27, 2017 was the 20th anniversary of this page;
the FIRST by a Carcinoid patient.

My story is
one many of you can identify with – an uplifting look at a life that I am
determined to live well, despite all the obstacles I have been dealt. At the
heart of the story is the idea of LIVING with cancer. It took eight years to
correctly diagnose my rare disease, Carcinoid/ Neuroendocrine Tumors. Then, they
said I would die in just a few more years. That was 18 years ago, and here I am!
How have I faired? Very well. Read the book to find out how I have lived a happy
life, even with cancer.
Would you help
to spread the positive word by telling your friends, by gifting the book, and by
posting a review for other readers on the
www.amazon.com page? We know how valuable a positive recommendation can be.

HAVE YOU EVER
MET THIS MAN?
by Dave Burch, printed here with
permission
contact him at:
Sparker@nvbell.net
Have you ever met this man?
-
He's bent and busted, gray
and old,
-
ugly enough to make your
blood run cold
-
Some folks say if you go by
today's trend
-
he's kinda weird but they
wish he was their friend
-
His sense of humor sure can
get twisted,
-
and his feelings about
patriotism are two fisted
-
Without even thinking, he
holds the door for women
-
no matter if their arms are
full or if they're just grinnin'
-
Too many kids will make him
holler
-
but he loves 'em all no
matter what color
-
When he's around, you best
respect Old Glory
-
Because any bad manners is
sure to make you feel sorry
-
He's got that set of
principles, them ones that are old
-
they get in his way, 'cause
they won't fold
-
A few times he calmly reached
for God's hand
-
when he needed His help to be
a stronger man
-
He did his time carrying a
gun
-
fighting a war that was said,
couldn't be won
-
He's happy around GI's and
lots of others
-
but the troops are like his
brothers.
-
A few folks say he's around
the bend,
-
but in my mind, he's my best
friend
-
Yeah, to city folks, them old
cowboys sure are strange
-
'cause for them, the only
place for peace is out on the range.
Cowboys have bullshit on the outside of their boots, not in them. They
won't wear their boots into your home. Politicians will never give you
the same respect.

I "Sunny Susan" was invited to write
a Blog
on the web site of the Arizona Republic
newspaper as they have liked letters I have
written to the editors over the years.
March 26, 2008 was my first Blog.
I stopped writing due to lack of time.
You may go to my Blog at
http://www.AZcentral.com/members/Blog/sunnysusan
May need to go to archive for each month on right side
below my photo to open older Blogs.
Since
1996 --- when I first located others with Carcinoid --- I have answered
every email sent to me, although some replies were delayed longer than I liked.
I am NO longer able to reply to all e-mails due to the volume and other things
going on in my life (all good). I do love hearing from others, but an unable to
reply to all individually.
This web site was 20 years old on April 27, 2017.
Since my husband "retired" I am away from my computer for days, and
sometimes, weeks at a time. Yes, there is wireless internet and we have
tried that a number of places. But, if I deal with email when we are away
from home then it is not a "restful vacation" for me.
