  what is the abbreviation for:

  Pretending you have cancer, letting everyone believe you have a limited time to live, letting them send you flowers and well wishes, some to the point of grieving.

  Please post answer, I'm sure grace will use it FREQUENTLY.

    No one that I know of has ever pretended to have cancer, and if you are referring to the trials I have had with with cancer are pretend? Well guess you can pay all my medical bills and tell my doctors that they only dreamed of all the operations I have had and that the chemo was totally un neccessary.
    I do not know what I ever did to you personally for you to hold a chip on your shoulders that you gleam such pleasure to follow me from one ladder site to to three other gaming sites and now here to just to throw more daggers my way.

    I never pretended to have cancer. I did not come back 100% but I am doing good and I thank God daily I beat the odds and I am still here today.
    Have a great Day :)

      grace get over yourself.

      you went so far as to telling people you had 6 months to live.

      every time someone challenged you on the boards about tourneys you ALL OF A SUDDEN had some type of physical set back.

      you know the saying: you can fool some of the people some of time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

      Nuff said

      I'm sure you have better things to do, like introduce tourneys on ladders that don't want them.

        You know that is what the doctors told me. I cannot help it if modern medicine had advanced and the treatments were effective. I thank God I am here today and that I have been able to watch my children grow up and have gotten to know my Grandson every day. I never asked to get that sick, and I am thankful the doctors were able to help me. Now it is time to let things be and live in peace and just enjoy life to its fullest whatever each day may bring.

        Have a good day and smile enjoy life :) I will.
