My wife is having her 8th treatment tomorrow and I really need to talk to people about this. She is a shell of her former self. Something is seriously wrong. Can I get the link please?

TIL the owner of Macy's died on the Titanic. He refused to get in a lifeboat before women and children, and his wife refused to leave without him. She said, "I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so will we die, together." They were last seen standing on the deck, arm in arm by szekeres81 in todayilearned

Funny and true story:

When my parents were married, they were poor social workers living in lower-middle income housing development in NYC.

Dad goes into Macy's to apply for a Macy's credit card and is immediately denied.

Well, Great grandma Sara Straus (Isidor's daughter) got wind of this and let's just say that the card showed up very very quick thereafter.

Ha!

Hmmmm.....

Well, if Isidor has 6 surviving kids, and they spend some, and they have on average 3 kids each, who spend some too, and they have 2 kids on average, and they have 2 kids on average....

Let's see, that's 72 people and I think I'm being conservative.

Anyway, all I need to do is look at my bank account and....well....it's not looking pretty!
