I learned about Neurofibromatosis.

I looked that up when I saw this "Elephant Man' documentary. It about a man who has that disease and has about fifty pounds of tumor on him. It sounds impossible, but if you look it up, you can see him. The disease frightens me, and I hope they find a way to cure it soon.

My dad, will probably have a heart attack soon. He has PAD and refuses to get treated. Smokes at least a pack a day and drinks idk how much. It's a real shame when people don't even want to help themselves. Sorry about your father. That's great that you are dry! :D

It's quite possible that my dad smokes 2 packs a day. I don't really see him anymore. No gambling though.
 
I learned today that I can keep a 2 inch shot group at 50 yards with my CZ-52.
 
I have learned that I have no idea if it's a good idea to buy unlocked iphone from US.

It would be cheaper to do so but not if it turns out to be useless when I try it with Australian simcard.

Hmm :hmm:
 
I just have learned that New Zealand Passport have changed again and I wished that I could have waited a few more months longer of my old expired passport to get this new one... but darn oh well as I already have a renewed New Zealand passport and it's nothing like the new one.

Have to wait next 5 years later then renew it again.

My father was a heavy drinker, heavy smoker (rolled his own cigarettes and also smoked pipes and cigars) and a big eater. He was 325 pounds when he died. All in the belly. He brought his heart attack onto himself, and sad to say, it was a blessing for my mother after he passed on. She wasn't as neurotic and was actually able to grow her fingernails and lost weight and ate healthier. I never really realized how unhappy she and dad were. They loved each other with a massive passion, but just had a lot of bad situations. Mom was always a person who tried to be careful with spending and saving and dad went through money like it grew on trees.

My brother has realized how much he had screwed up with his drinking and is doing so much better.
 
I have learned that my nephew divorce was finalized today. His marriage lasted a whole 6 months.

Not a problem - thanks. I think the family is doing much better without him around.
