So a little bit of good news.
That cancer, that made it to my brother in law's lungs, well it's not cancer.
Yeah, that cancer, turns out it's just scar tissue from years of smoking pot!

Now, he still has stage 4 colon cancer but his chemo treatments are working on the tumor. Eventually he'll have surgery. In the meantime they gave him his life back.
I wonder if he'll be looking for another doctor.

Fuck cancer!

That is some good news bud! Hopefully more manageable and at least I'm sure a little less stressful for now:hug:

Nope.
It's possible that the girl the bear was so interested could be on her period which could cause it to act like that.
I'd never let a live bear get and stay that close - lacking a weapon of some sort I'd be kicking/screaming/punching like a lunatic.
Did you note the little nip he gave her on the thigh? That shit's dangerous!!!

An old neighbor has an amazing story with a few cubs and her toddler. Mom bear was watching and let her come get her kid. Cubs and the toddler where just sitting and hanging around.......my friend who was pregnant at the time, said there was a motherly connection and no issues. Still made her crap herself! Crazy!

All it takes is one time & it's over.

Do yourself a favor & do not go go looking for "final pictures of treadwell", they are NOT for the faint of heart.

That dude was a idiot......nothing like my neighbor......her son let himself out. She had no intention doing that......the "motherly connection" was the only way for her to explain it. She was pretty shooken up.

Obviously that was a black bear but in my book they are more dangerous than Grizzlies or Brown bears. Getting charged/attacked by a Griz or Brown is most likely the humans fault. Stumble on a meat cache, getting too close to cubs, startling the bear or simply territorial. Black bear is different, if the encounter is not cub related it is mostly likely a predatory attack and they typically won't stop until their belly's full (of you).

Really? I guess I grew up around black bears....don't want anything to do with griz or brown. I've had many encounters with black and it was always like both of us just didn't want to be there. LOL once my buddy and I where having a few beers in the shop.........garage door was open....I had to take a leak and went out around the side. Mid stream....out of the side of my eye, I saw something move through the light coming out of the shop door. Fuck! A bear! It turned towards the shadow I was peeing in! Man I got loud and big so it knew I was there....it took off! I went back in the shop....my budy was like.. WTF! dude did you see that bear? I guess it went to go into the open shop saw him and went to go around the side. I probably pissed everywhere LOL

We had one visit our cabin in Gatlinburg. Was eating our trash outside the kitchen window. Trash was in a cage, didn’t matter. Super cool, literally on the other side of window then walked across our porch. First time seeing one in the wild. I was sketched going outside the rest of our vacation. Lol

My first unit in the CG was an isolated LORAN station in the Aleutions. Fresh outta basic I was a scullery bitch & clean up boy - one of my morning jobs was to raise the flag & on my way out through the (dark) mud room still half asleep I bumped into something waist high & very solid. I hollered while running back into the main building & looked out the window of the galley to see a Brown bear standing in front of the building looking confused.

I checked everything before hoisting morning colors from then on.
