Ok, I don't know what is going on around here. If you want to fight, the circle is no place to do it. If you are gonna call someone out, the circle is no place to do it. Do it privately. Or do it in another thread. Please!

A few comments about new people. I don't think any of us want to be suspicious about new people but frankly we have been burned. The circle has been attacked from all over the board. We know there are members of BCO who create new fake identities and often try to start trouble. There are also people who come in to the circle, post like crazy for a couple of weeks and then leave and never come back. They may be well intentioned I don't know.

As someone who has been around since the beginning I can't gush over new posters anymore. I need to let people post for a while and then I can start to get friendly. It doesn't mean anything bad about you, it's just that when these spats start, I feel hurt. I no longer assume that everyone has great intentions. The girls that have been around a long time, I feel more sure of.

Gina and Nicki you are both important to the circle. I hope you know that. We know your ups and downs and ins and outs and we love you. Jas same for you. There are many of you that I have gotten to know and love. Until you hear otherwise, assume you are in that group.

OMG Denise - I have never laughed so hard. I HATE snakes and I know none of this was funny!

shokk

Correction.......Jas.........sorry sweetheart just hit the "z' key instead of the "s" because my freaking fingers are so fat now............

jasmine

Thanks Shokk and Susan.

Denise -- I'm thinking my lizards aren't so bad now. I'm glad I could add that extra bit of comfort for you!

I think you are alot braver than I would have been.

Madison

Denise, are you okay? Calling Denise!!!!

You WILL WIN the war with the snake.

I agree with Shokk (we both grew up hunting)...grab the shotgun!!!!!

Hi All

Back from a great weekend at my friend's beach house in RI. They have a little girl who's 9, and we had a great time. Tons of posts to catch up on, but taking a little break from work right now to do a little reading!

shokk - thanks so much for your words of encouragement! He's on is way to Florida with his grandma right now, and I already miss him (normally he would have come home after spending the weekend with his Dad last night.) He will have a great time with his grandma though. Love you too!

OK, need to read (I'm only at noon on Friday right now!) so I'll be back later...

Gus

Denise, you are too funny! Since I did not grow up hunting, the last time that there was a snake in the basement, he went to his final resting place courtesy of one of hubby's golf clubs! Hey, I wasn't going to use my clubs...

shokk

Hey Colleen if you are going to read back just be sure you have your seat belt on.............

Emelee26

Well..to speak for myself - I'm not a fake poster and I posted here after much encouragement - I will not post often but if something comes up and I need help - I will depend on you
Feel free to depend on me too - I'll try to stay updated and always encourage and support those that need help
Love always Marisa

I'm also friends with someone that used to be on the boards and it ended badly - I don't think she uses fake names though...that would be ridiculous and pathetic for anyone to do..jmo

P.S. I don't like snakes...yuck!

nosurrender

Susan you really summed it up so well.

I think if people followed the PM rule then this all would have been a rather quiet weekend.

I had people PM me to tell me that they wanted a picture removed from the video or to ask me where was their: Pet, Kid, DH, Car....etc. I tried to accomodate everyone and redid the thing.

But I think maybe the circle has gotten too large to include everyone in a short video.

Please note: If you posted a pic and it was easy to be found in this forum I copied it. I could not use avatars or we would have all gone blind.

I hope Nicki is feeling better today.
I hope that whatever is going on at Z's house calms down so she can start posting again.

As for new people? Everyone is welcome. Have we been burned in the past? YOU BET.

The only "rule" here is that everyone get along and be kind to one another.

Which leads me back to the PM logic... if you have a bee in your bonnet- PM that person. Leave the campfire and take it outside.

Brenda, I hope you are on your way to the doctor.
Denise I am still laughing at your post- even though I know you are flippin about that snake-in-a-bucket.

Shirley, I know this weekend was awful hard on you. I hope you can find some solace in the woods- I know I do.

I think we need to leave the drama that occurred and get on with what we do best: supporting and loving each other.

Life if too short to dwell in past negativity.
It is a new day, new week and forward we should move on.

Love,g

lv2cmp

Denise, you go girl. I knew you were a brave woman! 5 gallon bucket to the rescue huh?

Shokk-Toto we arent in Kansas anymore are we? I totally agree,,,wth???

Cheri-where are you this morning? Sleeping in since you dont have to babysit? Sure sorry that Amber lost her job though.

Colleen-sometimes its best not to look back and read and this is one of those times. Onward you go and you will be glad you did.

NS-Nice to see you this fine Monday morning. Did you make your deadline?

Susan-hoping I sure dont hear otherwise from ya cause I kinda like ya.

Madison-wow that was a long post from you. Nice to see you back and hope the move goes as nice as a move can go.

Amy

Hi Iris - I love seeing your picture!

Z - I'm so sorry you're feeling down. Read, post, do whatever you feel like doing here - we love you just the same!

Nicki - what's happening? I just keep seeing "post deleted" and I'm really starting to worry! I'm reading a page and posting in Quick Reply, as there are over 350 posts for me to read, I hope I see some posts from you again. I feel scared and worried to see your posts deleted like that.

Good Morning Everyone,

Oh my, very busy the past few days and did not get a chance to come on here - not one for conflict so I guess I am glad I was too busy. Just skimmed the posts -made me so sad .

Guests again this weekend leaving today. Busy getting my dd Sara ready to leave for college in one week and 5 days. Leaving for Pinkstock on Wednesday so have to catch up on my work - don't think anyone will be doing my work while I am there so lucky me will have five days worth to catch up on when I get back on Monday and then I will need a vacation LOL. Getting very excited to meet everyone. Put up the tent in the backyard yesterday - yep going tent camping at Pinkstock. May need a hoist to get me up in the morning, but it should be lots of fun .

I just want to tell all of you that I think this is the best thread on this whole damn site and I hate to see what has been going on for the past few days. I really hope it is just the full moon and things will go back to the way it was - a welcoming, friendly place where we can share our joys, sorrows, trials and just life with each other. It is too bad that there are people out there who will use multiple accounts just to start trouble. There are still a lot of ladies here who need our support.

I agree with DebC – she said it much better than I could – when you are just reading it is a lot easier to be offended when it was not intentional.

May I make a suggestion - could we all use the A to Z thing instead of listing names individually unless you are replying to a specific post. Realistically, the list is so long now that it is very hard, especially with chemo brain, estrogen deprivation, stress - to remember each and every person each and every time. Maybe less hard feelings ???.

Such great news about Puppy! So happy your procedure went well and it helped with the pain – many prayers answered!


Denise – I am ROFLMAO at your snake story. I would be scared to death. Yep, that looks like a garter snake. Googled snakes from Michigan and that is what it looks like – can be 2 to 4 feet long and have about 50 babies in the summer – watch out! Still, I would be scared to death. You were very brave going outside and putting a bucket over it.

Thanks Gina for putting the video up again – good job.

Nicki – you gotta know how much you are loved here. Give Gina a break – she is going through chemo – I’d have a hard time putting one of those together now – much less when I was undergoing treatment. I miss your morning posts.

Z – Praying for you – post when you can. You too are loved.

Karen – hugs to you. Hope you are feeling better.

Shirley - that has to be so hard - cannot even imagine losing one of my children. Sending you gentle hugs and sending up prayers for peace in your hearts. Camping in the deep woods and I am worrying about camping at MBs. Yikes.

Okay – got to get going and get to work or I will never get packed for Pinkstock. Wish all could come. A happy Monday to everyone from A to Z.

Hugs,
Suz

Susan and Gina very well said.....((((Amy))))) and Suz.....ok was someone sending hateful pm's to Deb because she was talking about pinkstock......surely not.......did someone say something about a cam........how great would that be......I know MB has dial-up there in the boonies of New York but do you think someone could hook up a cam.....for us not able to be there........it sounds like something a spouse might could do.....Deb your accountant husband is he a computer geek as well?????? Think of all the evidence and black mail we could do after the pow wow is over...........hmmmmmmmm.......really do you think it would be possible to set up a cam??????MB are you checking this thread........just a thought.......I don't have many.........

SheriH

To all my circle friends--Can we just blame it all on chemo brain and move on? I love you all!

purplemb

Suz...LMAO...where do you think I live....the city...ok the woods is about 400' from my house but....

Shokk...well if someone thinks they can hook us up I'm for it...hehehe yup I check in as often as I can,,,,...Verizon says there is someway to do it with cell phones? don't know but we do get Verizon signal....
hugs...back to work before I get caught...and have all the time in the world...

shokk

((((Sheri))))) yes we can blame it on chemo brain.....we love you too............

cmb35

Well, like looking at a bad car accident (which I NEVER do) or reading about the latest celebrity scandal (which I sometimes do! LOL), I did keep reading (thanks for the head's up shokk, didn't see it until too late), I think cause I kept expecting it all to be resolved...

Have spent way more than the time I had available, so I need to get back to work.

Am feeling kind of quiet, and certainly saddened by the harsh words. Am also feeling hopeful we can ALL move forward

Love to all, A to Z

marshakb

I'm gonna ask really nicely. Please can we leave the crap at the door? I am one of those still in treatment, barely out of chemo which is about all the poison I can take right now. My chest looks like it could rip open any time and I had a really bad "intimate" moment this weekend. I came on this morning to catch up, maybe get a giggle to take with me to rads and ended up taking a stomach full of knots with me instead. I really need the support. I don't have a local, live group where I live.

Here is websters definition of fraud: deceit; trickery; intentional deception; a trick; an imposter. It insults me to think someone would come on here and practice fraud. On a breast cancer discussion board. Shame on anyone doing that. If you have one shred of decency you will think about what you are doing.

I typed this out 4 or 5 times this morning and finally decided I needed to get it off my chest.

Marsha

purplemb

Ok Angel, I just went back to skim...so if you want a wish you were here card someone needs your addy?....
hugs MB...

shokk

Marsha ya we are all going to move on....we really are just like sisters.....there always will be disagreements and misunderstandings.......we are only human and to top everything else we are sick and sick of being sick and sick of being scared about being sick and sick and tired of remembering about being sick......anyway you get my drift.........ok sweet girls......Nicki if your reading please just remember how much we love you....of course your pm is full........I think sometimes we bourden you too much as well........come sit by the fire (will pretend its chilly) and rest.....you just need some rest.........ok girls I'm not going to pinkstock but I want to hear everything about pinkstock....I want to know what everyone is packing.....I want to know whose spouse is acting up......what to hear about snakes and delays and airport crap.....what to hear it all........love each and everyone so much.....we are the best.........

suzfive

MB - LOL -was referring to my lack of camping skills - not where you live! Would not survive in the deep woods of Georgia in a tent - think I can do it at your place - can't wait.

I for one will take lots and lots of pics and will post a link for all to view when I get back - not taking computer with me. Again wish everyone could come.

Really need to get back to work. BBL.

Hugs,
Suz

lizws

MB - I have Angels (Charlene) info. I'm bringing my list (which I haven't completed but will I promise after Pinkstock) with me.

Okay - off again.

Good afternoon all. I know everyone is getting ready for Pinkstock and I sincerely hope you all have a wonderful time. I go to the Ortho in Iowa this thurs. I sure do hope those exrays turn out well.

Brenda nice to see you posting again a little more often.

Jankay, thanks for the funny.

Amy, nice to see you.

Good afternoon to all..........Several have commented on the weekend.........I won't...........just want to say that many have posted wonderful words of advice. Leave the crap at the door....newbies welcome.....imposters goodbye!

Marsha: If you want a good laugh.......go back and read about my morning!

Now, sweet sisters, you want me to get a rifle and take the slimy thing out??!! I've never even held more than a BB gun! I'd probably end up in ER with my dang Foot blown off!!
Oh yea, Suz...Thanks for letting me know the slimy thing can have 40 or so babies!!!!!! Just remember that when you are sleeping on the ground this weekend and I'm in a Hotel!!!!

Gus: Never thought of that.....DH's golf clubs are sitting right there.......but you don't understand.........that would entail going near the snake!!

Madison: I think I'm fine............and I think I won the war with the snake.......but the bucket is in the way of me getting my car out of the garage!

Now I've got to decide if I take the broom and push the bucket out of the way (without it tipping over), or just gun the engine and get the Hell out of the garage!!

Jasmine: Lizards.......not sure about those either!! Do they multiply by the 50's?

Shokk: A rifle......I can see the headlines now...."Breast Cancer Survivor killed by pissed off snake."

Amy: Yup.........I be brave!! Need any help on the Farm!!!

Gina: Not 'snake IN a bucket' it's 'bucket OVER a snake!'

Love you all and wish everyone was going to Pinkstock! The webcam would be great.......don't know anything about them.....but they would still be great! If MB can't get a signal we can all pile into Madison, Liz and Jasmines room and give ya a good laugh!!

I'm meeting Deb and some of the MI girls in a couple of hours!!!! Can't wait..........but it does entail going into the garage, moving the bucket or gunning the engine!

Hugs,
Denise

nosurrender

Hey Denise! What you need is someone with a hockey stick... does anyone know any ice hockey players or coaches??? One whack with one of those and that snake is history!

But if you are meeting up with Deb, let her shoot the damn thing!

marshakb

OK Denise I am sending Bubba to get that snake for you! Tooo funnnnny!!

Whew alot happened since I last posted! We've been doing a "marathon" watching NYPD Blues this weekend. Man I cried when Sipowicz son Andy J died. I guess having my baby in Marine boot camp brought that on. Here's a picture of him...

he's in med hold right now awaiting surgery for a torn acl and torn cartilage in a knee. He's been there since Feburary, had pnemona twice, got hurt during cruicable week and been in med hold ever since. He may have to have 6 months to heal up after they do surgery then one more month of boot camp. At that time I guess they decide if he can stay in or has to be discharged. He was medically discharged once before about 2 years ago when he hurt his ankle badly. At that time they said wait a year then you can try again.

Had a really bad night last night. Everytime I had hot flashes I got to feeling sick and dizzy. I wondered why I felt so bad. Turned out hubby turned off the ceiing fan for once and it was making me too hot. I turned it on only to later wake up feeling the same way again, he had gotten up and turned it off again! I hope I don't go through another night like that. The heat already bothers me alot this summer, so much so I haven't gotten back on the trike since we've come home from our biking vacation.

Here's a picture of me and my brothers and my Mom taken June 07 while up in Illinois.


Here's a picture of me and my hubby...he shaved his head before I had chemo. Had so many compliments on it he has kept it that way. This was taken in Colorado.


This is our Goldwing with me on the day we bought it. (Late May or first week of June) Bought a used 05 Goldwing with 9,000 miles on it and had the dealership trike it out. Hubby had never driven a Goldwing or trike before! My t shirt says "Don't Mess With Me...I raised a Marine and Sleep with a Biker!"

This is my hubby on our new trike in CO, we got it 3 days before the trip to Illinois/CO


This is us with our other bike we still have (04 VTX 1800) and the trailer. This is the one we had the accident with June 06 two weeks before a Colorado trip planned that year and didn't get to go. We had gone with it in 05 though. Hubby is hoping to be able to get back on this bike yet.

MB - thanks for thinking of me for my addy, as Liz said she has it! Thank you too Liz! You both are incredible!

Denise - just gotta tell you again .. you Crack me up!!! Funny how your nightmare with the snake is giving all of us some much needed laughter right now. Stay safe!

BBL stayed up all night long reading the boards after getting home at 2AM. Like Deb I had a grand time relaxing and drinking vodka slushies with my sisters (and I Really needed a good day) and came home to a nightmare on the boards. Glad and hopeful everyone can move on now.

Big Hugs for everyone from A - Z
