Morning All

Had a really lazy day yesterday, and trying to get back to myself today - we'll see how it goes!

Nicki - the first picture is of me with long hair wearing a navy blue sleeveless top and Warren wearing a tan suit, it was taken in May 2004 on his First Communion, exactly one year before I was dx. The second picture is a close-up of Warren and I, I'm wearing a blue tank top and bald, it was taken in August 2005 and he used it as the picture on his first Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising website. Both pictures have a lot of meaning for me. The long hair one because there aren't a lot of pictures of Warren and I together (don't usually have someone to take the picture!) and the second one because we both have huge smiles on our faces, despite the circumstances.

And just typing all that is helping to give me the kick in the pants I need to get moving. I was kind of down all week, probably just tired from my travels, but then had kind of a situation with what used to be my best friend (she couldn't handle my dx, and we are just not close any more, it makes me feel sad, and yet I haven't done anything to bring it up with her and change the situation), not a fight or anything, just had it happen one more time that I called her and it was busy, and then when I called again 3 minutes later it rang and went to voicemail. This happens more often than not now (and this is someone I used to talk to at least once, if not twice, a day!) Just really bummed me out. And then of course the whole Tim e-mail kind of sent me over the edge I guess. I think it's probably a good sign that I'm feeling really sad and lonely (means the shock is wearing off), and Lord knows I know first-hand there are far worse things in life then being alone, but I've just been kind of down about it and feeling sorry for myself.

So, need to cut that out right? LOL

Hope everyone has a good start to the week!

Good Morning Ladies and hope you're sleeping well Peter...

It's bad enough that they have my road closed while they do construction on a bridge next to my house but they have to start the hammering at 7 AM. Woke up with a terrible headache today and the constant racket out there isn't helping any! Strong coffee for me today!

Jasmine - Sweet, funny girl..I missed you in my post last night and just wanted to say how much I love reading your hilarious posts.

Cheri - wow, what do you do with all that corn?? I'd be happy to take some of it off your hands for ya! You sure know how to make a girl feel good, thank you for what you said to me. You're a dear friend. I see a beautiful sunrise (or sunset) over the ocean as your avatar. Very peaceful.

Nicki - I chose delayed reconstruction so I'm just starting the long process and having the expanders put in on Friday. I've heard them referred to as "the iron bra". Steering myself for what that has to feel like. Good luck at work today! Oh I'll definitely be popping in here as much as possible. I've gotten board withdrawal so bad at Audrey's 12 hour tournaments that I've used my cell phone to access the website to see what's going on here!

Marsha - LOL I was just singing that song to Ava yesterday and she complained to me! We moved on to Row Row Row Your Boat and she was much happier! Okay, now get That out of your head! lol

Eachday - Laughter is so healing and along with all the love and support it is a main draw for being in this circle group. I can't even begin to say how much being here has helped me.

Jankay - loved your funny today!

Vickie - hugs back to you sweet lady

Shokk - where've you been, love reading your posts

Well the coffee is doing something, my headache isn't so intense any longer. Wishing everyone from Amy to Z a lovely day!

love and hugs
Angel

Good Morning everyone..We had company in for dinner last night so I spent the day gettng ready..it was fun but late before they left and now there I go...

Good Morning Dears. Good Night Peter and Jezza. And hi to Jezza. I think I missed you coming in. Also saw another new name floating around. So hi to Lucy as well. French fried legs are feeling better this morning. Guess I didn't put enough sunscreen on my thighs since nothing else is burned.
Don't see an update from Amy yet?

Cheri, to funny on the boot story. Served the bumm right.

Jan, thinking of you at your appt today. Hope they changed the posters on the ceiling.

Vicki, hope you get your printer working.

Denise, Yehaw! WooHoo! and Hot Dog! Your coming to Pinkstock. Were gonna have soooooo much fun.

Laura, give Luke and Dominic a smooch from me. I've been getting the "I'm being ignored" vibe from hubby too. So I'm spending my evenings watching cars go in circles or guys beating each other up. Mostly I'm falling asleep on the couch. So much for keeping him company.

Cherryl, a perfect way to spend a sunday.

Welcome home Tricia. Glad you had a good time. Did you win millions so we all can retire?

Charlene, bet Audrey loved the fireworks. We have always lived where they are not allowed so my kids never got to experience them unless we went to a show.
I'm proud of me too. Last time I had on a bikini was probably 20 years ago. I had been sick with some nasty stomach bug and lost a lot of weight. Saw a picture of myself. I looked like a refuge from a concentration camp. It was horrid. And no one told me how bad I looked. Said to myself then...Self you will NEVER put on a bikini again. Took me this long to get up enough nerve to wear one again.
Wow your gonna have a houseful. I will be praying for you all week and most especially on friday.

Jaz, I love Janet Evanovich books. She cracks me up.

Z beautiful words as always. Strength for your week. No going Ghetto allowed. Just smile and walk away.

Cheri, I was indeed snoring away. Could your knee be a bit atrophic? (is that a word), from lack of use? When do you start PT? I see a sunrise/sunset on a beach.

Nicki, that picture is too funny. When I went to Chicago to see my boys graduate from boot camp we took a walk along the lake on Lake Shore Drive? I think that was the name of the street. Is that Lake Michigan? It was beautiful.

Vicki, lots of coffee and have a good day. When is your doc appt?

Jankay, too funny. And excellent response to the snippy thread. I think we've all done an excellent job at keeping our panties untwisted. So Kudos for us!!

Good morning EachDay.

Jaz and Marsha....PPPPPPPPSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Colleen, I am sorry you are down. Great big squishy, sloppy wet kisses and hugs just for you.

Charlene, poor baby. Have some aspirin with that coffee. O no wait, no aspirin cause your having surgery. Darn, got any good drugs? Internet on your cell phone? wow!

Off to work out. See you all later. I pick up the quilt at 10 today. Very excited and nervous to see how it turned out.

sherloc

Have a great tennis game Socal.

PS, today is my first day of straight decaf. So far so good. Not tearing down the walls.

So, you admit to using a alias account. I'm reporting this post to the bco moderators. It is against the rules of conduct to use multiple accounts and your post makes it clear that you and/or your associate created this account for the sole purpose of deception. I do not accept this apology where you try to rationalize your actions. There is no excuse.

Anonymous

Buffalogal .. I don't understand. You made someone up who had breast cancer? Do you or your associate have cancer? Do you also have another identity here? Just trying to understand this. Appreciate your apology but I'm confused and maybe others would like to understand better also. It's hard to forgive such deception.

Anonymous

Jaz - way to go. I'm beyond myself that anyone would do such a thing. What a terrible thing to do.

jasmine

If Buffalogal's apology was sincere then they would reveal their true identity or account name. The fact that they refuse to come clean just shows that they are not really sincere.

If she had an issue with posters in the circle or felt someone was being mistreated, the proper course of action should have been to notify the moderators to handle things. Instead they chose to be the 'board police' and in fact broke the conduct rules themselves.

sherloc

holy smokes, I was here 5 minutes ago. What happened? Who is this person?

shokk

Alwayshope you know "buffalo's" apology is about as sincere as she is and everyone knows that there was one main person that had a hugh problem with Gina and is acting like a freaking 7th grade girl in some kind of popularity contest.....its just so stupid.....brb........

shokk

Anyway don't even want to give her any recognization because I believe she is mentally unstable.....its this kind of person that Gina needs to protect herself like using a po box from psycho chicks like her........brb.......

Biker54

Well, I missed it yet again! Buffalogal is an imposter? Kinda thought that myself.

Laura, so glad the new grandbaby is doing well.

Tricia, welcome back for vacation. Good luck with your fill!

Margaret, I could never do a boot camp!! Good for you.

Marsha, there is no excuse for a nasty PM. Why can't people just shut their mouths and mind their own business.

Eachday, welcome!!! Now I've got that silly song in my head also

Charlene, good luck with your expander surgery. Can't give any advise since I had immediate reconstruction with implants.

Peter, how's the infection?

Z, I absolutely LOVE Maya Angelou! I have read a couple of her books and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Cheri, geez, 100 ears of corn???? And I crab if I have to husk 12 ears! There is nothing better than fresh veggies. I see beautiful scenery in your avatar. Is something hidden in the sky?

JanKay, good for you! You explained the circle perfectly! I liked your jokes!

Colleen, I don't know why friends pull away when bad things happen. Some people just can't handle bad news. You have every right to be bummed out. Feel free to vent whenever you need to. Thank goodness you have such a wonderful son to stand by you.

Amy, any news on your dad? I'm starting to worry.

I have to go get ready to go to the gyn and get probed. Ugh! It almost feels like an alien abduction, lol! I'll check in when I get home. Hugs to all from Amy to Z!

nosurrender

Shokk- don't worry about me!

BTW- I have had the PO box LOOOOOONG before I ever had cancer! I don't get my mail otherwise!

cmb35

Shirley - thanks for the sloppy, wet, kisses - that made me smile!

No clue what is going on with the fake user - what the heck? I did read the post before it was deleted, and I wasn't sure I really understood it. She created the fake name for a friend to see what would happen if she posted, and then felt bad when she was welcomed with open arms? Huh?

It's funny, due to the goings on this weekend, I was reminded of the original thread I posted on here - the July 2005 chemo thread. I tried to find some of the women I remember from that thread, and found that there are a bunch of "x date chemo" threads still going strong. (I remember the July 2005 chemo girls moved the thread to one of those web rings or something? I didn't have the technological know-how to follow them!) So honestly, this has me even more confused - I think it's wonderful that they are all still connected and supporting each other, but how come no one gets upset about that? (Or do they and I just don't know about it?) I'm baffled!

sherloc

well I really want to hang around and see if this drama unfolds. I'm like one of those sorry people who stop traffic looking at an accident. But alas I have to go work out and pick up our beautiful quilt. I'll be back later.

Gina how are you feeling today?

Getting worried that we haven't heard from Amy or Cy

sherloc

Colleen, you are very welcome, sloppy wet kisses are my speciality. Just ask my grandson as he wipes them off his cheek. He says...."EEEEWWWW grammie, your kisses are WET!!!! hahahahahahhahahahahha

shokk

((((((Gina and Alwayshope)))))love both of ya'll......anyway Colleen my little triple neg single mom co-hort........my advice is just give Tim back the stupid ring and move on.......let him give it to his next victim..........you don't need the reminder of what might have been.......you deserve better and I am considering selling the king size bed that the ex and I shared......don't need it and thinking of getting a queen.....of course my oldest thinks I should just get a twin because I'm not "getting any" anyway......don't want to have that conversation with her......geez.......Amy hoping things are peaceful with you today......keeping you and your mom in prayers........also Tucker.....he seemed to have a really good relationship with his grandpaw......well gals some days it seems to be pretty exciting around here and not really sure why but for some reason it usually involves Gina.......hmmmmmm.......the newbies aren't exactly going to know whats going on but believe this its so stupid.........ok sweet chicas going to read and really try and catch up during lunch.....love each and everyone......can't believe how early our CA girls get up........anyway see ya later gators.......

marshakb

Rats ass, LOL one of my favorite sayings.......

Well seems everyone knows I have radiation at 10:50 am everyday cause that's when the drama seems to happen. I'm standing on the side of the pickin' street with Shirley!

shokk

Sherloc you're a sweetheart.......just think back you'll remember..............

Anonymous

Shokk - you're right, I sure can't believe Anyone could have an issue with Gina! It Has to be something stupid!

shokk

And Marsha our little free spirited thespian don't even think about leaving or just lurking.....we need you here........

nosurrender

OK- i read the post and my name isn't even mentioned. So Buffalochip has issues with the circle and not with me- or maybe with me because I am part of the circle.

All's well that ends.

Love,

Hey Family -- Hope you all have a better Monday than that dude up top.

If you feel a little lost today:

Let me find you
Where you hide
Behind closed door
In your lonely room.
Let me brush aside
Your tousled hair,
Wipe the tears
From off your cheek;
See into your lonely heart
And lift the pain.
Let me find you.

Let me find you
Standing in that place alone;
Crowds around you -
No one seeing,
No one feeling.
Let me look into
Your lonely eyes -
Make them smile,
Reflecting mine;
Make them shine.
Let me find you.

I am your friend.
I am your gift
To lead you up
From out the night.
Don't give up.
There's someone out there
To fill your cup.
Let me find you.



Have a wonderfilled day!

zazette15

G - You have been on my mind a lot and I just wanted you to know.



Have a good day and no surrendering.
