Here is a Dutch family that apparently couldn't find any tulip bulbs. OTOH, so far so good!
Didi Taihuttu, his wife, three kids and their cat bet all they have on bitcoin. The Dutch family of five is in the process of selling pretty much everything they own — from their 2,500-square-foot house, to their shoes – and trading it in for the popular cryptocurrency. They have moved to a campsite in the Netherlands, where they're waiting for bitcoin to really take off.
It's only been a few months, but the 39-year-old father of three says he doesn't regret a thing. "We were just like – sell it, sell it, what can we lose? Yeah, we can lose all the material stuff. Yeah, we can lose all our money. Yeah, we don't have three cars anymore. We don't have the motorcycle anymore. But in the end, I think we, as a family, will still be happy and just enjoying life."
Apparently this began last summer when Bitcoin was still languishing well below $5,000.
This is visionary:
The family decided to make the gamble on bitcoin this summer, after seeing its swift climb this year. It's already surpassed $5,000 a coin, and Taihuttu thinks it could quadruple by 2020. Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat, has made the same prediction.
$20k by 2020? C'mon, say something bold - Bitcoin spent five minutes over $19k on one exchange yesterday.
Good morning!

RG
I'm not a GYN Oncology specialist, I deal primarily with tumors of the bowel, but here is my take for what it is worth. after a quick literature search.
Main thing to look at in her records is the original stage. the original stage should give you a pretty good indication whether this was expected or unexpected
Stage 1 cancer has a good 5 year survival of over 9 out of ten patients living past 5 years.
the odds start falling off pretty rapidly after that with stage 2 having around a 2 out of 3 five year survival and there is less less than a 1 out of 2 five year survival for stages 3 and 4.
these numbers are with chemo and radiation therapy, which if your mother received them makes it sound like she had a more advanced tumor to begin with
the robot is just another way to do the surgery, it may have made her recovery shorter, but it does not improve the ability to physically remove all of the tumor or improve long term survival results.
The problem with a cancer like endometrial is that if it makes it outside of the uterus it can spread quickly.
think of your abdomen like a room and the cancer like an aerosol spray can. it is hard to know what nook or cranny the cancer cells will go to once they start getting released into the abdominal cavity. So while I might tell a patient or family I got the whole tumor regarding the Primary location of the tumor I always try to emphasize the other ways the tumor can spread especially for tumors above stage 1 and or tumors that have made it all the way through the full thickness of the organ where the cancer cells can be shed into the abdominal cavity, like rust eating through the wall of a metal can.
This type of spread is common for endometrial cancer.
The abdomen is a relatively big place and the cancer can be quite advanced before it is found, even with PET scans or other more invasive tests.
The survival for stage 4 metastatic endometrial cancer is reported at less than 12 months regardless of treatment. Given your mothers age I do not know how aggressive I would have been looking for recurrence as I am not sure she is really a candidate for further intervention.
AS far as hospice if you are around a hospital ask the nurses where they would send a family member.

Old Lurker do not despair, Rosenstein was confirmed by Senate 94-6 and Wray by 92-5 while Brand was 51-47 and Sessions had to put up with Franken's insinuation that he colluded with the Russians.
Trump , Grassley and the Freedom caucus know who they are dealing with and just slow walking it for the sound bites for the 2018 campaign. As I said the battleground has been drawn where the democrats are seen as obstructionists. So the democrats have shifted gameplan to protect their weak female senators like Stebenow, McCaskill and Baldwin and have gone to the extreme on this harassment issue.
It is going to bite them in the ass, since Fauxcohantas You did not build that , was the architect of the CFPB and its shenanigans will be exposed plus DWS and the AWAN brothers will also be revealed . So do we get competent individuals like Pompeo and Cotton or do we retain keep opportunists like Warren and Gillebrand who brought the mattress girl to the State of Union speech.

In a simulated war game attack on Pearl in 1932 the attacking side won big.
"The exercise was widely reported in the press and was observed by Japanese naval officers at the Japanese consulate on Oahu. Some 10 years later, the Japanese Navy would launch an almost carbon copy attack on Pearl Harbor, utilizing six carriers and double the air power used by Yarnell."

The value of bitcoin is based pretty much on the same principle as the value of those pieces of paper in your wallet: It comes from their acceptability as a medium of exchange in transactions, relative to the quantity that is out there. EXCEPT: Dollars are legal tender and more or less have to be accepted, and their value is pretty well established because of the sheer volume of transactions. There's a lot more uncertainty about how widely accepted bitcoin will be, so its value is murkier. On the other hand, bitcoin has (as I understand it), an absolute limit on the total supply, whereas our friends at the Fed can make as many dollars as they see fit.
The reasons for the uncertainty about bitcoin are, among others: Security concerns (there have been some hacks recently resulting in major losses, from what I hear); the possibility of competitors capturing part of the market; and just the huge range of possibilities for how widespread its use will be in the future.

Trump needs to start shrinking the battle space and soon. If you can't get them into a jail, at least get them out of the bureaucracy so further damage can be avoided.
I love MM's and RG's optimism, and read hopefully the yarns being spun by CTH, Wictor, Rex el al., but dammit, I need to see something tangible. Soon.
I think Khan's classic line from Star Trek 2 is applicable here. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Remember NSA Admiral Rogers met with Trump shortly after he was elected and the next day Trump moved his transition team meetings out of Trump Tower to his golf course. I am inclined to believe all the stuff we are hearing this week about FBI agent Strzok Trump and his team have known about since before his election. If that is true then what we are seeing now is Trump's strategic plan to release this information to the public.
Think about it. How did the info about Strzok get released to the media? It certainly was not in the best interests of those trying to destroy Trump for the info about Strzok to become public knowledge.
My confirmation bias is obviously kicking in but it certainly appears to me that Trump's plan for revenge against Obama and everyone else involved is starting to kick in.

WI AG answers fake news on John Doe:
“That’s dead wrong. They didn’t read the report,” Attorney General Brad Schimel...
“We plainly said crimes did occur. Unfortunately, the problem is because of the terrible record-keeping and security process at the Government Accountability Board, we can’t say which one of them did it,” Schimel added.
Local press claimed no indictment means nothing wrong. (Kinda like Lois Lerner, or effing Mueller).

More from the article:
If the nine John Doe officers named in the DOJ report signed affidavits falsely stating that they complied with the Supreme Court order to turn over all documents, they are guilty of a class H perjury felony, according to Wisconsin statute.
Schimel said he never considered raiding Falk’s home to search for John Doe documents or the missing hard drive.

Let's ask Beasts if there is one single voter in Alabama who has not already made up their minds and who would be vulnerable to any ads Evan might run. I suspect they are so sick of outside interference that ads might work the opposite as intended.

Dustin Hoffman, perv.

That really rock Wilson's bar tab.

From Henry's link:
These types of statements were addressed in the Claire Berlinski piece I linked earlier.

Henry and Extraneus, those actions are not "reflective" of who Dustin Hoffman is!!!
I find it "ironic" that while we LITERALLY have HITLER in the WHITE HOUSE, that you 2 can be concerned about wymynfolk being sexually abused and harassed by DEMOCRATS, who are "only trying to get us some PEACE".
Has DUST BIN HOFFPERSON pledged to take down the NRA yet?

More from the Fake News Network:
Sarah WestwoodVerified account @sarahcwestwood
So CNN misreported the date of the Wikileaks email that @DonaldJTrumpJr received, meaning that the entire point of the story -- that the campaign might have gotten advance warning of the leaks -- is wrong. Wow.

Some new SuperPAC called "Highway 31" is responsible for almost all of the negative ads against Roy Moore. I'm on the wrong side of 50 and the ads they are creating are some of the most slimy political ads I have ever seen in the 35+ years I have followed politics closely. It will be very pleasing if Moore wins next week to know they have wasted millions upon millions of dollars again.

Tom R, wasting perfectly good money on losers is a UniParty trait, both wings.
Didn't Jeb! blow $125M not getting nominated?
And then there is Hillary...

Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson 'scared to go anywhere' since her sexual assault allegation

Ext, that Berlinski piece was mostly on the money, but I was disappointed at her view of Trump and Moore. It seems out of line with most of what she wrote and suggests a bit of virtue signalling.

Retweeted Judge Roy Moore (@MooreSenate):
Boyfriend at the time says she lied.
Employees of the restaurant say she lied.
Customers of the restaurant say she lied.
Her step son says she lied.
Now she herself admits to lying.
Let’s count how many national outlets will ignore the fact that she admits to lying. https://t.co/9D5OYCVORx

You spend thirty million on a nit even mid term primary in Alabama, that is a firing offense.

Clarice,
Is Gloria Allred in any professional legal jeopardy for pushing this forged Yearbook case against Moore?
Rush in Hour 2 says Nunes, now fully cleared by the Ethics Committee, will be issuing a subpoena for Bruce Ohr later today. Yippie! Nunes is back in the game and loaded for bear.

One of my best friends' wife is also correct.
RG, make sure you read Ig's post on earlier thread at 9:43. It was for you, and insightful.

Yes, I agree, Jimmy. A bit jarring amid all the honesty. As she said up front, she was afraid.
