I can confirm! Made my heart leap with joy!

Today is Joe's birthday!

Happy Birthday brother!

He confided in me the other day about feeling bad when people from the planet came to visit, and due to his current physical state, he really wasn't able to fully enjoy everyone's company.

But he's doing much better now ( :) )and extended a invitation to the planet to come up to watch one of the remaining games, like a final mini bash for old time sakes.

Bugeater and I are going so let one of us know if you'd like to go and we can figure out which game.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, love on those you care about.

Happy Birthday, Nzoner you ol' 2$ whore!

And here's to many more: :toast:

If ya'll can figure this one out I'll let that moth fly out of my wallet and finally attend.

I'll still keep chirping up to the big guy for ya in the mean time brother Joe. If you keep getting better, we keep getting better.

Such great news!
Happy birthday Joe!
sec

Intrigued. I would like to meet some of you crazy bastards if I can.

If you guys pick a game let us know.

And happy happy birthday Mr. Nzoner

Intriguing.

I am open for any game. We'll leave it up to HayWire

Oh man, don't leave it up to me. You guys plan when is best for you since my chances are small.

I talked to the wife about it and she said go for it but I've got a list of "ifs" before I can make it. Don't plan around me.

Oh, we're planning around you

Ok, Joey has decided the Bronco game is the one

I could swing that IF.

1. First and foremost it will depend on how Nzoner is feeling.
2. How I'm doing (shouldn't be a problem since I've been doing good)
3. Probably the biggest hurdle will be I'll be by myself and the wife said absolutely no to me driving on my own. Not sure if anyone in my area would be interested in going. (I'll buy the gas)
4. Someone has to squeeze my ass if I make it.


Long shot in hell, I know. That's why I didn't want to pick the game.

Where you at? Joplin?

I will happily squeeze your ass btw

Just east a bit, right on I44

I was going to make a crass joke but thought this thread needs to stay posting about Nzoner. Might make a new one for those who don't check in here regularly?

I think cabletech is down that way, have his ass come get you.

Probably not a bad idea to start another thread

Damn, I'm going to the Bronco game and then going to Vegas for the Raiders game. Any chance we could do it for the first playoff game?

Well we don't even know for sure when that will be. But I'll come down for it too

Hope you had a happy birthday ‘zoner. Glad you’re having some good days.

Good to see everyone and hope your Christmas was bright and Merry!!

Good to see you are feeling better and posting on CP and FB!

God granted me seeing my 60th birthday yesterday and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to see some of you yet.

I also want to tell a little more about our new ministry and will do so.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE.

God Bless you brother!!

Best post I've seen here in a long time. I know we don't interact much or at all but I get the warm and fuzzies seeing you post something.

This is from the new website,please if you feel led to do so make a small donation and God Bless.

L.O.S.S.

On December 8, 2021, Joe Tracy, the founder of L.O.S.S., experienced a pain like he had never experienced before after he lost his wife, Kathy. Joe and Kathy had just celebrated 36 years of marriage together. The following March would find Joe in a deep grief and in prayer to God to help lead him through this journey of
grief. Joe didn’t realize, in what Romans 8:28 promises: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose."

Joe was introduced to a local grief program, and he devoted his time to the class and the workbook that was provided. Later that summer, Joe got an idea to host a Widow and Widower picnic. Joe and Kathy had been blessed with a large piece of land with a large home and office building which was a perfect location. The picnic was a success and the dream God had given Joe to create a retreat for Widows and Widowers was born. These dreams included picnics, Holiday dinners, game nights, bonfires, Bible studies, and other events to host any Widow or Widower. Meanwhile, Joe has since been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is on hospice. Thanks to his family and friends, who share his vision, L.O.S.S. is moving along at great speed. Your prayers and donations are much needed as the ministry grows. God willing, we can all see Joe’s vision of L.O.S.S. become a reality and help other Widow and Widower‘s along the lonely journey of adapting to being without their spouse.

Great picture. I'll be making a donation in honor of my dad. He just became a widower this year. It would be an honor to do so.

Thank you and God Bless.

A very necessary work. I'm glad you are doing it!

Is this going to be a thing? As long as Joe's up for it of course.

Loren went to watch the Donks, and I went up to watch the Faid game with him.

He's having trouble eating, so please say a prayer.

He also wanted me to mention that Kathy had a huge Jimmy Johnson collection, and if there were any Nascar fans interested, he would donate the money to the Ministry.

God bless, hope this finds you and Kip well.

Thanks for the update. God bless you Nzoner

Just noticed this sorry to hear about it. I don’t get on here very much anymore but I remember nzoner from when I did. Prayers for you, get well.

Is there any way to post the website in the OP. I'm helping some folks who are not tech savvy use tax software so they can do their taxes this weekend. Told them I'd do it if they'd donate an amount of their choice to this charity.

I added Joe's post about it - is that what you had in mind?

My bad. I didn't add two and two together. I was thinking their was a direct link in the body of the thread.

Thanks.

How are things lately?

He's starting to decline. I thought about going down for the Super Bowl but I decided against it after talking to him. Just sucks.

Shit - if you talk with him, please let him know how much his CP brethren love him.

Sending nothing but good vibes his way

Hopefully the Chiefs win it, but I'll call him after the game and let him know.

Appreciate you always being in contact with him
sec

Was just checking in. Sorry to hear he is declining.

Will continue to pray for him.

Ya I reached out last week and he didn't answer.

Called him last night and got to chat for a bit & can concur. I was glad just to hear his voice and tell him how proud I was of him, among other things.


:(

We need a SB win in Nzoners honor. Let's go Chiefs!

:thumb:

Let's win it for Nzoner!!

+1 on this. Godspeed, Joe.

:(

This is a difficult thread to open. Still prayers and prayers to Chiefs Planet especially those who knew him well.

God speed, Joe. Even those who don't know you personally can see that you have made an impact on many people and have tried to make the world a better place for those around you.

Prayers Joe, you're loved by many.

Prayers to you Joe. You're in good hands and hopefully you get to see the Chiefs win another SB before you go on the ultimate journey. You have nothing to fear, as you already know.

:(

Godspeed, Joe.

Prayers from Oklahoma.

Smitty's are sending love and prayers. Joe is a wonderful person and we're blessed to know him.

Prayers sent, Joe.

Prayers as well. The Chiefs winning another SB and Mahomes getting another SB MVP would be perfect.

Best wishes to you, NZoner. You never know what tomorrow holds, so hopefully your future days bring positive developments and/or happiness.

Pancreatic cancer is a bitch.

Good vibes sent.

Damn man, really hate to hear this

But if he goes, its awesome to know his Christian faith has never been stronger... he will be with his beloved wife again

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Solid projection/leap on the jump to conclusions mat.

Hoping you have a good SB day Joe! Go CHIEFS!

I'm not sure what your getting at, but it's probably best to just stop now.

Joe, today is your day. I hope you’re feeling well enough to enjoy the game.

I’m rooting for you more than the football game today.

Is Joe going to be watching the game?

I'd imagine so

Thinking about you Joe! Not sure if you remember…but we hooked up at your tailgate barbecue back in the Vermeil days! Chiefs vs Eagles. Take care brother! Humboldt.

There you go Joe

God bless you

Joe...this one's for you...:thumb:

What a game Joe, so happy for us as fans! Hang in there!

Man I hope you got to enjoy this. Thanks for being you. You were so kind to me and all my New Orleans misfit friends after Katrina. There is none finer than you sir. Enjoy the win.

Been thinking about you often, Joe. Wishing you the best.

Hope you enjoyed it Nzoner and please hang around for a few more!

Joe I hope tonight has brought you some joy over a tough couple years. God bless you. Me and all my buddies whom you welcomed with open arms into your home are thinking about you!

Hope you enjoyed that one Joe. Love you man!!

Joe, so glad you were rewarded with a victory to match your determination.

God bless.

All I kept thinking was win this one for Joe. Soooo cool.

Thought about you after that win Joe!

Joe posted a picture on FB last night after the game. Huge smile holding up one finger (the good one!).

So he clearly got to watch and enjoy the game. That makes my heart happy.
