Well Lucy, the year ?? as long as it doesn't have all the NEWER electronic gadgets on it ( to hard to find replacement parts in Mexico ) sooo i'd say probably 10 yrs old ? ... i really don't know I do remember from the last time we were going to have a truck, someone checked into it ( I think JimmyMN ) and that was NOT a big problem at all and as far as the age ...The vehicle can be of ANY AGE i'm sure ( somebody correct me if I'm wrong )

HONK HONK !!!!! ... you want me to start my "Medical Term" of the day again ?

Molecular phylogenetics: The determination of the rates and patterns of change occurring in DNA and proteins in order to reconstruct the evolutionary history of genes and organisms. Two general approaches may be taken to obtain this information. In the first approach, DNA is used to study the evolution of an organism. In the second approach, different organisms are used to study the evolution of DNA. Whatever the approach, the general goal is to infer process from pattern: the processes of organismal evolution deduced from patterns of DNA variation and processes of molecular evolution inferred from the patterns of variations in the DNA itself. See also: Phylogenetics.

AHEM ! ........

Kidney cancer: Malignancy of the kidney, the organ that is primarily responsible for the removal of metabolic waste products from the body.

The types of kidney cancer in adults and children are different and distinct:
  • Adults -- Kidney cancer tends to occur after age 50 and strikes men twice as often as women. The most common type occurs in the renal (kidney) tissue that filters the blood and produces the urine and is called renal cell cancer (or renal cell carcinoma). Another type of adult kidney tumor arises in the renal pelvis where the urine collects and is called transitional cell carcinoma. The most frequent diagnostic sign of kidney cancer in adults is blood in the urine.
  • Children -- Far and away the main type of kidney cancer in children is Wilms tumor. It starts to develop in fetal life and may be large by the time it is detected (on the average at 3 years of age). Wilms tumor is associated with certain congenital defects including urinary tract abnormalities, absence of the iris (aniridia) and hemihypertrophy (enlargement of one side of the body), and shows an increased incidence among siblings and twins. The tumor tends to cause a noticeable mass and sometimes pain in the abdomen. Blood in the urine occurs in a minority of cases.
Kidney cancer is treated with surgery, embolization, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy, or chemotherapy.

If we can get a bunch of peeps together to donate some $$, Michael said we can go to the auction and pick up a vehicle there at a pretty good price.

ok, need help with easy fundraising ideas to collect some $$ so that we can buy a vehicle at the auction. Auctions are held every Saturday so as soon as we have a good chunk of $$ Michael and I will go see what we can find. OR if we can just get a bunch of peeps willing to donate some $$ for the vehicle, that would be awesome also!!
