    Surgery for Steve Bowers

    Many of you know Steve was having cancer surgery today.
    He popped into chat this morning, 20 minutes before his surgery (yes, he loves this place that much!) to say hello. I extended all the good wishes for a successful surgery, and for fast healing, and no cancer at the other end. I pray that God guides the surgeon's hands.

    Please add your thoughts and prayers.

    Steve is rolling in for his surgery as I write this.

    Git 'er done, Steve!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Prayers sent.

    Steve, keep your head held high and maintain a positive attitude. It is the second best help available. For the best help, see the first statement on this reply.

    Congress & the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution,
    but overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

    My Prayers are with ya Steve !
    I just spoke with Marlene...Steve is out of surgery. There were complications and a blood clot in the kidney so they removed his whole kidney.
    He is in intensive care now but he is stable.
    I will have an update in a couple days.

    Prayers for Steve's health to return fully.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Mooseman just called me, & gave me a update on Steve.
    Marlene says he is doing fine, and is stable in the ICU.
    We will continue to lift Steve & Marlene up in our prayers.
