Not surprised at all. EBay is the king site for gouging people, and without any integrity. I remember that a single can of Lysol during the Covid-19 pandemic was $75 for a $5 item on EBay.

Went to my Oncologist today!! No MRI and Chest X-Ray results!! Results are on hold!! This can be due to that the results are released to the doctor 4-5 business days after test were concluded; I had this tests last Monday March 23rd!! Doctor should have results this upcoming Monday!! I’ve a follow-up at April 10th!! Oncologist asked me if I was taking testosterone shots!! I said no…never!! So she pokes and probs me here and there!! She says my testosterone level is at 486…last blood test was at 276. She says that that can indicate that maybe the cancer came back!! But I reminded her that my PSA is at 0.06, she says cancer can return even with a low PSA!! The older men get, the lower the testosterone gets!! Maybe my cancer did come back because while my testosterone levels are high, I’ve not been able to be intimate with my wife for many years; doctor said that I should get a blue pill because I’m getting older too!! Hhhmmmmmm?!? She also says that there’s activity in my liver!! But she believes that that’s a typo because it’s better to have activity where the hole in my head is than in my liver!! I just want to die of old age from natural causes!!!!

No, we didn’t forget but apparently the NFL has forgotten…and don’t care one way or another.

Maybe NHL players might want to start wearing a concussion helmet like they do in the NFL!! AJ Geer slap on the wrist sure doesn’t fit the crime. I wonder if the NFL penalizes the teams owner with a very stiff fine for things like this?!?

The hardest thing I find is keeping still, especially for 1.5 hours. My arms and my upper body for the most was pinned, and I hate being restrained in any way. Sure the back and sides are wide open but they put part of the MRI right over my face. I was holding some small ball that I can squeeze, technician would stop the procedure and get me out. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted the heck out of there. Thank you for your prayers; means everything to me. I too pray for nothing but good results.

Has any KF member ever had a MRI?!? For many, an MRI can become an unpleasant experience. Being very extremely claustrophobic beyond the Nth degree, I not only consider an MRI very unnerving but also invasive, no matter the critical importance for one’s doctor. Well, I had 3 MRI’s back to back this morning; 1.5 hours at the mercy of the technician and that enormous contraption of a machine; with all of it ungodly sounds right in my face. An IV was administered because the procedures required with and without contrast material; a dye of some sort so that the images are much more sharper…technician was super smooth with that. Even though the MRI was conducted on an Open Air MRI machine, it didn’t erase my anxiety whatsoever. For 30 long never thought it would ever end minutes, the technician placed a CAGE around my head in order to take images of my big fat head, I voiced my thoughts. The technician suggested that I just close my eye and listen to the piped in music, easier said then done!! MRI’s I had: W/O & W/Contrast Materials… 1) Brain Brain Stem (PET Scan showed a golf ball size hole in my head over my left ear) 2) Spinal Canal Thoracic 3) Spinal Canal Lumbar 4) CR Chest 2-Views X-Rays I’ve still to do a Nuclear Test to do on April 9, 2026 from 10:15am to 3:30pm!! I’ve follow-up with my PCP doctor on March 26, 2026 at 8:15am and a follow-up with my Oncologist doctor on March 27, 2026 at 11am.

Thanks, @KarateKen!! Heat stroke is nothing to take lightly. I was raised in the San Fernando Valley, so while the heat is unbearable at times in Las Vegas, my tolerance for the heat does have its limits, especially at my age. Humidity made summers in Houston ugly . Thank God for the invention of central HVC. From today to next Tuesday, Vegas temps will hover around 80-94 degrees for the highs.

I’ve always said this, concerning what KF means to me is this… ”KF means everything to me because it has always allowed me to escape away from the Shindokan bubble that I’ve been part of for the past 60 years.” Even today, this still bears true!! Great members abound here at KF, of which, many have become great friends.

Chuck Norris passed away at 86!! His family posted this on Instagram Friday morning, March 20, 2026… "It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace." While in Hawaii, Norris was hospitalized after suffering a “medical emergency “. To his family and friends, I want to express my most heartfelt condolences for his passing. RIP!!

I hope you DO get to write about KF and how it’s impacted your life; I look forward to reading it.

Congrats @Zaine; well deserved!!

You’ve every right to be proud of Kenneth throughout this season. He had some ups and downs but Kenneth has matured in every way both on and off the mat!! This last tournament was one rough son-of-a-gun against bigger players and such. Kenneth seems to be at home on the mat across the board. Go for the freestyle/Greco tournament…heck yeah!! Maybe one day we’ll see him on TV for WWE, and why not!! Great job, Kenneth!!

I passed out the Century MA catalog, every single type, like candy to everyone, even non-students; I had a wholesale account for as long as I can remember!!

I definitely remember that!!

Aren’t the Raiders just a hoot?!? Can’t decide if I admire Raiders trying to improve them as a whole or not!! Let’s see what happens next season.
