    Hillbilly,

    What is "Rat Shot" that you used? Was it a reload? If so, what. I handload #6 or #7.5 shot for my farm needs. Be well.

    frkelly74,

    I am no expert on radiation treatments, but I declined the 5-day per week for nine weeks (OLD) treatment over 5 days over 2 weeks. Keep asking good questions about your treatment.

    Where is any Holy Week Message?

    As a Seminarian, I check into this site often and am sad there is no Holy Week Thread. I will do a church service his Friday. I am sad to see nothing about Holy Week here. Why?
