    That answers yesterday’s questions about a Jewish prayer of healing.

    What is called “chemo therapy” is essentially a toxic soup to see if the immortal cells (cancer) will die first over the normal mortal ones. Can’t wait for targeted therapy. where the organisms put in will only seek out and destroy any cancer cell in the body.

    The red bow tie is the greatest !

    Good morning, Vista Bill and all the Tracytown medics !

     

    If they caught it early Marge has a better chance. Will the surgery be followed by radiation or chemo ?

    If Chemo she will need some of this legal stuff to bring back her appetite !

     

    Gettin’ foggy here as I accidentally dumped my original post.

    Thanks to all yesterday who responded to my question about healing prayer. Yes, I was actually asking it in a serious tone for information, not in any way demeaning or negative.

    .

    My (limited) understanding of the Jewish faith is that there may be differences in positions, depending on the sect. Kind of like denominational differences in the Christian traditions. Some believe healings are for today, others, that the miracles ended with the Apostles.

    .

    Having been a party and witness to undeniably miraculous healings, you can guess which category I fit into.

    “NOTHING Fails like prayer …”-Oh boy, there’s going to be a lot of backlash today about this. So I’m just going to stay out of it and see what happens.

    At it’s most basic, prayer helps by giving you a positive focus, and let’s you feel you are doing something to help, instead of being helpless.

    Maybe Sail and Ghote will splice Margie’s dna with what’s left of Moon Maid’s and turn her into a Lunarian… naaaah, THAT’S just TOO FAR FETCHED!!

    depending on what stage they caught it in, she has a chance.. but my friend’s sister died from her breast cancer even after the mastectomy and chemo, and she was told that “by the time you find a lump, its already too late” (ironically, HER name was Margie as well..she died two years ago on November 2nd at only 53 years of age.. two years to the day of her other brother passing away too)

    Shouldn’t “v’nomar Amen” instead be “V’imru Amen”? (“And let us say, Amen”)

    It’s nice to know that spirituality is still an aspect that is being portrayed in the strip. With the crisis that Sam is dealing with concerning Margie, he needs something to help him cope. I don’t know if anyone has read earlier strips, but during the time that Chester Gould wrote and drew the strip, the elements of prayer and faith was present.

    Good catch! I had one, but no PEB and a tape player that wasn’t worth the magnetic particles it (tried) to write on. I finally broke down and got a loan to go whole-hog for an Apple //e when I went to college. The TI was actually quite powerful for it’s day. I still have fond memories of it.

    Loo-ah-ville? Ha! In our language it’s “Looser-ville!” It’s basketball team will never be UK’s equal (giggles)

    Sam, if she has to have s mastectomy, she needs to get in touch with the non-profit org called “Knitted Knockers” at knitted knockers.org. They make these to your specs for free. They are incredibly natural looking under your clothes, MUCH lighter than the silicone prosthesis and they do not make you sweat. Best of all they will not hurt scar tissue.

    I tried to find an online translation of the Hebrew and came up with this:

    May the Blessed Holy One be filled with compassion for their health to be restored and their strength to be revived. May God swiftly send them a complete renewal of body and spirit, and let us say, Amen.

    Where’s JPuzzleWhiz? He could verify if this is correct.

    Belief in prayer helps people psychologically. If the person dies they said “God took them” if they live they say “God saved them” and that overs 100%. It isn’t science, but it is human, all too human.

    Oh please, “PC” has nothing to do with it. What exactly does “PC” mean to you since you and others use it as a scapegoat for anything that displeases you. Unless you don’t like separation of Church and State which is Constitutional. I know those exact words were not used, but the meaning is the same. Nothing is stopping anyone from using them. Just not in public schools by school personnel is all. I‘ve got no problem with anyone using it as long it isn’t paid for by my and your tax dollars. Simple as that.

    I feel sure we’d all (except for the rabid atheists) pray for Margie, Sam and Rabbi Marmelstein. I hope she makes it. An untimely death in the MCU family would be a real downer at this season….
