      Hi Family, hope some or "all" is feeling as good as i am, that whole 9 yards of not eating for a week, vomiting, dry heaves was LIVING HELL as far as i could name it. Thank You to all who replied to my last post with love & support {May 31st} when i Finally stepped out of that hell,  and back to earth, i mean, knock on wood {or Faux if thats what you got} im feeling good, eating good, my whole being has returned & my wife hasnt cried in 2 days :}.. Like someone pointed out, i had to do what i had to do, and taking over the deceased mans Megace may have not been "legal" wich it isnt, but i was willing to treat myself & thank God after 2 teaspoons fulls & within 18hrs i was cured! That whole week was like i was possessed, and i was tripping that this was the end, saying to myself "So This Is How It Ends? i serious thought i was a gon'er…Im back playing my music, music has been my friend since i was 7 years old, its gotten me through tough "and" good times so, im actually right now  jamming SoundGardens last studio album {2012} titled "King Animal", what i call "part 2" to Superunknown album.and by the way, RIP to Chris Cornell {May 18th 2017} former singer of SoundGarden bless his beautiful soul & a voice that will live on….

       Take care MRF Family, we will endure all that is thrown at us, we will become NED even if its just for a short time, were not asking for a cure cuz there isnt, were just asking to stay alive for just another day or two or three….Love ya all, Mike..
