Janet

[mockingbird812]

Janet,

Please wish Verne a speedy recovery from all of his sYc buds!!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Tell him I can sympathize Janet. Had the same thing about six years ago. Just another bump in the road to the Golden Years!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Janet....tell Verne to get well soon!

[x Baldwin Motion]

Sorry to hear that Janet – it’s good he has you covering the board for him while he’s down.
Give him our best for a speedy recovery!!

Here is wishing Verne a speedy recovery. I understand a detached retina can be caused by rapid acceleration!!!

Paul

[WILMASBOYL78]

Verne...get well soon...we need you old 409 guys around!!

wilma

Happy Birthday, too

[markjohnson]

Also cause by rapid deceleration and even sneezing. I remember several years ago when this happened to Don Garlits after he put two larger than normal parachutes on a new dragster. They blossomed that hard.

[ORIGLS6]

More likely to happen under deceleratiion. I think that was also the major factor in Joe Amato's retirement.

[Verne_Frantz]

cumby, please call me.

[budnate]

409 guy says Cheers... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Happy B-day Verne! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks guys. I think I know who that guy is in that picture up there, and sure ain't me.

Every birthday is a blessing. In 2000 my cardiologist told me a had about 5 years left to live. Somehow I seem to have healed myself. Now he says I can expect a &quot;normal&quot; life-span (unless it decides to get worse again). He agreed that I'm a onepercentilier. I congratulated him on being wrong and he said he was glad he was, which was the only time he was wrong about a patient.
Now it's on to more projects and life <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif
I have another 409 car that needs to get done by the summer.

Verne, I think you should sue that doctor for malpractice. He said you had 5 years to live back in 2000 and you're still going strong, 11 years later.

In my lawyer book that equals 6 extra years of pain, suffering and emotional distress you have had to endure so far, after being forced to exceed that 2005 expiration date. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Happy Birthday, fellow Joysey Boy!

It's funny that you mentioned that one item. One of the things I told him was, &quot;I guess you'll have to cancel that expiration date on my birth certificate, huh?&quot; He paused for a couple seconds then said, &quot;Yeah, we can cancel that now&quot;.
