Good luck Shel!! I'll be thinking of you on Thursday...you'll do great!

Rosemary44

Shel,

Yes, lots of luck to you but you won't need it. You'll be fine. I'll look forward to seeing your toast. I know, nothing will help those nerves, but once it's over, it's over. How's that for wisdom of the ages.

rondab

Pizza was good, beer was good, time with hubby & friends was great! We had a nice evening.
Laura, Shel - good luck to y'all!! I'll be waiting to hear your good news. And Hero - I never said a word! But best of luck to you too cause I know you're going to make that appt. That lady with the eyes in the back of her head could make it bad for you! lol! Ronda

Well this breaks my heart:

Dark soya sauce healthier than red wine: study advertisement
Jun 06 (Reuters) - Dark soya sauce, widely used in east Asia, may prove to be more effective than red wine and vitamin C in combating human cell damage, researchers in Singapore said.
Scientists found that the sauce -- derived from fermented soya beans -- contains antioxidant properties about 10 times more effective than red wine and 150 times more potent than vitamin C, Singapore's Strait Times reported on Saturday.

Antioxidants -- found in red wine, fruits and vegetables -- counter the effects of free radicals, unstable atoms that attack human cells and tissues. Free radicals have been linked to the aging process as well as a range of ailments including Parkinson's disease, cancer and heart disease.

The National University of Singapore study also found that the sauce improved blood flow by as much as 50 percent in the hours after consumption.

"There's a preventative aspect, showing that it may potentially slow down the rate of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

The nerve, soya sauce better then red wine??? They have to re-do that test. Tell me it isn't so.

I still think I'd prefer my glass of Echo Domani Merlot to a glass of soya sauce!!

Shel and Laura, GOOD LUCK! And Ronda, Wowee! I'm so happy for you! I knew we'd all have a celebration at the finish line. I'm at the library again, but going home to make the margaritas in celebration! Pam

Can you imagine going on a soya taste testing spree? Some research news just shouldn't be in print. And why did they pick on red wine to compare it to? As you can see, I'm not over it. I'm going to have to breathe in a bag or something.

pdgd

Go have a glass of pinot noir! PAm

Go breathe in a bag!!! Hang on Rosemary!!! And no -- a soya tasting spree is definitely NOT appealing!!

Soya sauce...okay, I like that in a stir-fry but I don't want a steady diet of it. And now no red wine and the antioxidants in my favourite fruits are no good either?!? But my heart...I use the red wine for my heart...which makes me think I'm going to have a very healthy heart in a very wrinkled, aged body.

I'm sticking with the red wine, I'll put soya sauce in my stir fry and hope for the best.

Rosemary44

"And now no red wine and the antioxidants in my favourite fruits are no good either?!?

Sherry, Heavens, don't even think that. It just has more antioxidants then the fruit and wine.

ooohhh okay...that's chemo brain for you, even months later..I still have shuttles that don't connect!!! I'm getting all confused on my free radicals and antioxidants...and if soya sauce has more, then tonight I'll have stir fry, red wine and blueberries for dessert...Pam's pinot noir sounds good, but I've got a half bottle of cabernet sauvignon....

Is there a difference between soya sauce and soy sauce?

Anonymous

Gee, I'm not sure. The bottle I have in the fridge that I cook with is dark soya sauce...anyone else???

2up

no difference, just "brand name preferences" i believe..........ya'll have a drink for me around 5 pm tomorrow ok? i'll be all hopped up on pain killers by then lol! good god i'm dreading doing this again.......yikes!

Anonymous

Shel honey, I will do just that...what's your preference? I know you like beer...how about a Keith's? Or something else??

2up

lol...........coors lite is always a favourite, plus that way you can have a couple since it's "lite"........but whatever you have on hand will do! thanks........man oh man i will NOT be sleeping tonight, thank god for my boxed set of "sex and the city" dvd's and thank god for you guys!

Anonymous

All righty then, a Coors lite it shall be -- or two if the mood should take me!!! The night before is THE worst is it not?!? You just can't settle to one damn thing...but I think a night of "Sex in the City" is a perfect pre-surgery choice...and YOU get to be Samantha you vixen you!!

2up

oh please have 2!..........and my husband is cracking up at the samantha parallel.........if you only knew lololol!

Anonymous

All right, if hubby is cracking up at the Samantha parallel then you've got to dish...seriously!! Kim's a good Canadian girl too you know!! Thinking about that -- I remember telling my "girls night out group" about my bc over drinks (there are 4 of us) and told them I'm now Samantha...they got that part, but in truth, they told me I'm more like Charlotte!! So I'll have 2 -- one for me, and one for you at 5:00 p.m. and say "here's to Shel, she did it, she's gonna make it" and if you tell me your husband looks like Smith, I will seriously be going, "you rock on girlfriend!!"

2up

bwahaha!..........my husband looks eerily like "sting".......no joke!...........i'll dish with ya later during my recuperation............thanks again!....i look more like curious george right now than anything else!

christineK

shel-try not to watch the bc episodes, although I've watched those over and over. You need something a little more cheerful. Well since you'll be playing Samantha, slip in an "adult" movie. lol. Then you and sherry will lots to dish about.
Seriuosly, good luck w/ sx. I'll be thinking of you.
edit: just as I hit send I realized the abbreviation for surgery, looks like a typo for sex. Ha Ha!

Anonymous

Okay, Sting is good...he's no Smith mind you, but...what can you do??!?! heee heee I will hold you to that "dish" when you are recuperating..I am very much looking forward to it. My dear girl..Curious George?!? Well all I can say is, you be very careful of that man in the yellow hat!! Go watch "Sex in the City"!!!

2up

thanks sherry and christine.........i'm goin to water my flowers, grab a "last supper" and then i'm goin to watch the "boob tube" no pun intended..........i will definitely steer clear of the BC season............i swear i'll dish later lol! talk to ya'll on the weekend, cheers!
