Blaine's Progress: Hair today, gone....

Good Quotes...

Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable.

- Ezra Taft Benson

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.

-Phillips Brooks

You better not get discouraged!! Someone, somehow we have to keep a strong outlook. Nancy and I were in NY City eating dinner 3 blocks away when they tried to set off the bomb in Times Square on Saturday. They failed and we are still here!! The moral is near misses don't count. Trust that life will prevail. God is looking out for us.

-Vic St. Pierre

Hair today, gone....

I knew this day was coming. We've been joking about it for some time. Doesn't seem that funny anymore. Yesterday my hair started to come out in clumps. I think I have a few days before I shave it, but it wont be long. Dani's post about me be bald, about me looking like Darth Vader... well, we'll see. I doubt that I'll look cool like Vin Diesel or Bruce Willis. I guess we're about to find out. I'll try to snap some photo's, before and after.
Hey it's only hair, right?

Everything else is good; good energy, no fevers, sleeping well at nights. Next week is my 'Off' week- no chemo. Normally that's a good week, but I miss the Dextamethasome (steroids)- it gives me energy. But it'll be good to get a break from the chemo.

Hey good buddy -- in my world we call that shedding and don't worry, it all comes back. In the meantime, it's a hot summer (finally) and you're right in style, bald is in -- Daughtry proved it on American Idol. Glad to hear your feeling good otherwise. Enjoy your week -- Rocky

Confidence pulls off any look. That's Bruce and Vin's secret to bald and sexy - confidence.
Wear it with pride; as a sign of success not failure - you've made it to this point on your road back to health. Remember, the difference between victim and victor is only a small change.

Bishop Savage,

I am Wendy from Tunbridge, and I'm trying to find the Bishop of the Saxtons River area because I go to school there, and I am trying to find a member, or any one, who would be willing to allow an 18-19 year old Spanish Boy live at there house for the school year. He is willing to pay them for rent and things.. if you would e-mail me that would be great. angelbunny88@gmail.com. . . Thank you so much.

Wendy, I believe the Keene Ward is what you are looking for. They are located on 130 Summit Road in Keene, NH, and meetings start at 9:00 AM on Sundays. Not sure who the Bishop is since they are in a different stake. The number for the chapel is 603.352.7012. Start there, and good luck.
