After my slight delay in posting i've decided that i'll be making a grand return to Crackberry's off topics section.
I really cannot post anything in the other sections as i am not using a RIM device now. I made the switch to Android, using a MyTouch3G running Android 2.1 w/ the nexus one icon overlay... basically i'm using cyanogen CM5... AMAZINGLY smooth OS, and with Swype it makes things super quick to type on.
as far as my mother in law from the last time i checked in she is doing well. They have her on a light dose of Chemo treatment just to help kill any cancer cells that still may be floating around. but they are just doing it as a "extra step" and they really aren't worried about anything.
so without further delay.... let the havok begin....
and thanks to @robkoogs for talking me in coming back.....
