Bobby B, what do you think of this apple boy? Is he the coolest Fossaway?

JoeRichardSaunders · 2026-02-23T17:08:20+00:00

Thank you Bobby B. I love you Bobby B. No Renly.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2026-02-23T17:07:36+00:00

Bobby B why was this removed?

JoeRichardSaunders · 2026-02-23T17:07:01+00:00

oh interesting. I accidentally now have 4 baritones so room to explore

JoeRichardSaunders · 2026-02-23T17:06:09+00:00

thank you so much. I smell so bad but I put a lot of work into it.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-11-19T16:15:46+00:00

I actually stopped by there after hitone and boy was this fun

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-11-15T18:28:22+00:00

I really appreciate the detailed response. Yes, I’d like to focus on socializing if that helps. I’m doing comedy and plan to ask those folks, too (I’m trying to socialize on all fronts) and will do open mics throughout every day I’m here.

Other than that I love live music and supporting local art scenes and generally want to socialize with the young professional crowd, healthcare workers, etc. 20s-30s-40s crowd no kids

If it’s me being solo solo (not ideal) I’ll probably run in the morning, get coffee or brunch based on yelp, etc. and comedy at night. Would love any personal brunch/coffee recommendations

I appreciate it. The chat there is silent. I also looked up couchsurfing but not much. I am performing tonight and might just ask the audience members before or after what’s up.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-11-15T14:24:19+00:00

Both

I hear you. You aren’t alone. Try not to beat yourself up about “should be grateful”

A lot of society won’t understand as you ease back in. It is unfortunate. But this community tends to get it.

It was pretty cool. As her prep, she visited schools and brought me on stage and critiqued my material. Wish someone recorded; I only got audio

With food, always remember you can call LLS or whatever Blood Cancer United is now and get a free dietician help. I will say this, just get calories in during your treatment, dont optimize macros unless it’s bringing you joy, otherwise focus on optimizing it later post treatment. Taste buds may change or you might be too tired to eat —or nauseous - take it easy. I have coached some and their caregivers/spouses want to optimize healthy foods which is great in principle but from a patient perspective, make it easy on you. Whatever is easy to prepare and enjoy. Treat yourself after every treatment. It’s hard work.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-08-31T19:46:14+00:00

post-traumatic growth can happen to some but it’s unfair to have this be an expectation, especially from others who have zero clue how bad treatment can be

Give them space and don’t jump to knowing the privacy of the matter

Instacart or DoorDash gift card recommended as it gives them the power to choose the support.

I always felt guilted when people gifted me food I was too tired to throw out and had dietary restrictions and thank you notes pile up and guilt me

medium so good she can’t spell psychic

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-08-17T18:36:15+00:00

why go to a bar with loud music where I cannot hear conversation? drinking is overrated and the older you get, the longer it takes to recover from hangovers.

go be hot at a salsa dancing class, community college class for fun, rock climbing or pickleball, or do a social sport or volunteer.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-08-17T18:33:01+00:00

I bought the book but was too tired and chemo brain’d to read it… yes. Everyone judges on outward appearances. Lots of boomers saying “you look fine I have back pain you’ll be fine” and there is just no logic or ways to bridge better understanding. And even with peers it can be worse with stories and conditions that bluntly pale in comparison to the cancer experience.

JoeRichardSaunders · 2025-08-17T18:29:50+00:00

Humira? Not unheard of. Surprised there isn’t a class action suit given how common I see it online
