I have only read a few posts but wanted to inform you that I did get an adapter to put in my tape deck to play cds in the car so Anne and I can listen to ABBA while going to Asheville in 2 weeks! My sister was having a yard sale and her sister-in-law brought some items over and there was the whole shebang - tape player adapter, cigarette power adapter and no-skip car cd player. I mentioned at lunch yesterday that I couldn't listen to cds in my car and my sister said that she thought there was one in the yard sale and if it didn't sell I could have it. I got it all for $10. She would have given it to me but her husband has been laid off and is going to school full time and working part time, and she is working full time at a day-care center and working part time at Little Ceasars pizza to make ends meet.
Got to get back to work, quite a few orders today! I will catch up later.

Hello Sisters!!
I am back. Sorry I have not been around! I went away for the weekend!! I went with my favorite sister who is here from Arizona..and her son Andrew who is 10, and my older brother Frank, to his cabin in the Alleghany forrest in PA. It was a wonderful, relaxing, fun weekend!! Beautiful weather, wonderful company, worked out, did some work around there, relaxed, had a few beers, good food...just couldn't have been better! So I got back later last night..and I am off work today. I am going in a little while for lunch with my girlfriend and sister, since she is going back to AZ tomorrow...:(. I will miss her soo!!
I read thru the posts, but I know I won't remember all. Karen, love the new pic!! I love Rusty!! OMG..he is adorable! I hope your Dad is doing better. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Mel....we have to set a date in August!! I want to meet..and if we don't set it...we won't do it!! I am spending more time with MR. Wonderful...but that won't take away from a day with you!!! Anne...omg..on the bear stories!! I would be like Mel...running as fast as I could!! I took a run on a trail this weekend in PA..and there are lots of black bears there...and I swear I heard one...and I ran back towards our cabin as fast as I could!! I thought...there is not a soul around...to help me!!!
Sue....honey...you do not have bootface again!! Please don't worry! Your aches and pains are from working so darn hard!!! Slow down girlfriend! Judie..sorry to hear that you have been feeling down. I know that little guy of yours should perk you up!! He is so beautiful! I hope today is a good day for you!
Val...how are you and UB doing? Enjoying all of the great weather we have been having?
Nancy...hope your doing well...do you have your chemo this week? I had my tx's split up like you. I had a pause inbetween last summer. You are very strong..and have done so well with it!
Fumi..sorry to hear about the rash...hope it's better. How is your special guy doing??
Love and hugs to all...Shirlann, Jane, Mel, Ulla, Sue, Nancy, Sheila, Fumi, Anne, Karen, Judy..and anyone else, I may have missed.
My relationship with Dennis is going very well. He is in NYC on business this week. But he calls me several times a day. We feel so connected. But he knows I am being cautious..and understands and respects that. I am a little scared, and somewhat overwhelmed by my feelings for him. It just all seems too good to be true. I have never had anyone who treats me so well, and respects me on all levels. It feels great...but there is that side of me that is holding back. But he is a patient man...and said...we will take it as slow or as fast as you want. He said if things progress as he hopes..he wants me to pick a place I would like to vacation..anywhere..and he will plan it and take me away! wow!!
Ok...enough of my love life..haha.
Off to get ready. Wishes that all of you have a blessed day!
xoxo

Honey, I so forgot that it was July 25 or I would have sung Christmas songs also. Our Choir director made the comment Wednesday night that he needed to get us some music ordered for Christmas so we can start working on it.
Anne, I can't believe that he came back for seconds! When I was a girl and living in Ohio, we would go to Minnesota for 2 week vacation at a fishing camp. We had cabins that we stayed in and one year they warned us that bears were in the area. We did see their footprints in the mud next to the lake. My dad would go out night fishing and take an afternoon nap (he snores). One afternoon when he was sleeping, we told our cousins that we had the bear trapped in the cabin and he had fallen asleep and was snoring in the cabin. they believed us, then the next morning when they were sleeping late, my dad took a rake and scraped it on the side of the cabin and growled like the bear and they were up like a flash trying to get away from the bear! Hopefully the DOW can help get this bear away.
Judie, My son had one of those marble games and boy did that keep him busy for hours even when he was in 7-8 grade. He would try and plan the most complicated routes for the marble to go. I need to do some cleaning, I still haven't touched John's room and he will be home in 2 months. Don't know what I am going to do with the stuff he has in storage now (left from his divorce in HI).
Shirlann, You should see the NC Zoo in Asheboro. They have worked hard to make the exhibits as close to natural as they can. They even match animals together who would naturally be together in the wild. They have large areas for them to roam around.
Sue, Just relax like the other woman have said, you are over reacting from stress. Please take time and relax.
Karen, Love the puppy. Penelope won't have anything to do with water sprinklers, she runs as far as she can from them. I was hosing off the sidewalk which is next to her cable run and tried to splash her with the hose and she ran to the far end of her run and wouldn't come back until I turned off the water.
Fumi, sorry to hear about your reaction to UV rays, guess you need broad sprecturm sun block now.
Need to get back to work, Love and hugs to all.

Ah, what a warm and fuzzy set of messages greet me this morning.
Karen!!! You didn't tell us you were getting a puppy, did you? Was this impulsive, planned, or both? Rusty is absolutely adorable. I'm so, so jealous. Love the new pic. The video was awesome. So much so that I was very skeptical, but checked it out and it's genuine. Wonderful. I'm so sorry about your dad. It's so hard to see our parents decline and face the fact that parents aren't forever like we thought. Hugs coming your way.
Sheila, I have always wondered why those marble games haven't been more popular. It's something everyone can have fun with...all ages. But then I've always been a Rube Goldberg at heart. I'm so excited about you and Lisa meeting. I expect a full report from each of you!!
Shirlann, I absolutely love Cleo! The avatar is great, but a bit jarring to see a stranger when I look for your sweet face. But who am I to talk when I use a bird to represent me! My grandchildren grew up in a flash, too. I have a total of 8 ages 2 to 20. Connor was a late add-on. The next youngest is 11. Don't you wish you could preserve each one at their cutest stage? Having my own last child so late in life has meant that I missed out on a lot of grandmothering. (My oldest grandchild is a year older than Devin.) Connor has been an opportunity to feel like a real grandmother.
Lisa, thanks for hanging in with us. With someone like Dennis coming into your life, it shows us how much you care when you take time to share. I'm thoroughly enjoying your fairy tale.
Then there's Fumi...not so warm and fuzzy today. OMG, dear! Yes, one wonders when enough is enough. But you must realize that you are a hero to many women who are ready to throw in the towel but keep going because you did. You have a purpose in life that is very important. Let that purpose lead you and inspire you when weeks like this come along, as they surely will. (((((Fumi)))))
Sue, how're you going? I hope things are lightening up for you. Facebook reinstated me with apologies...how about a game of Scrabble to celebrate?
Val, I did slow down. All is well. Devin came yesterday and we hung pictures. He said if someone had told him how hard such a simple task was, he would have laughed at them. After three hours of intense work, he is a believer. I rewarded him with my famous biscuits (no, Sue, not your kind. baking powder biscuits that you eat hot out of the oven with a meal spread with lots of butter...what do you call them?) He had mentioned how he misses them. I wish I could send Connor to you to hug for a while. Connor hugs are fantatstically healing band-aids.
My apartment is now finished. Lots of organization of small stuff remains, but that can be done over time. It's out of sight and I can find what I need.
My walls are covered with too many pictures and look totally tacky. But they surround me with the good of the past...family photos, artwork purchased on meaningful trips, (one painting by Henk Guth of the Macdonnell ranges, Jane...do you know of him? Small but lovely oil painting) and a great deal of my own artwork that has been stored in a box for years. Not great art, mostly sketches, but the years when I was immersed in art were some of the happiest for me and seeing them brings good feelings from that time. So tacky is good right now. Later I might decide to consider style rather than comfort.
OK...I'm spent. Gotta rest. Love to each and every one of you!!!

Judie, thanks for the comment about the games, I am meeting Anne next month. though I wish I could meet everyone. It is funny how Anne and I got connected. On the old format I had my location as Foothills of NC and she sent me a pm asking where in the Foothills did I live, when I said Lenoir area, she said that she graduated from Hibriten High in 1977. I told her that we did not move here until 1983 but our organist is a long time Algebra teacher at Hibriten and I gave his name, She said that he was her Algebra teacher. Her father still lives in the area and she is coming in for a reunion of sorts and we have arranged to meet while she is here.
My son said that he missed my biscuits, gravy and livermush for breakfast. as well as grits. I can't wait for him to be home for a while, it looks like the end of September.
Sheila
-
Ooooooooooohhhhhhh...Sheila. I should have known you would be a biscuit expert by where you live. I grew up in southeastern Idaho, so I came by my biscuit addiction differently. My grandma had to cook breakfast for the workers during potato harvest...sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes, and biscuits. She taught me how to make them. But livermush??? I'm sorry, I'll pass on that one, though I do like fried liver. I learned about grits later, but it was love at first bite. At the same time I learned about sausage gravy to go over the biscuits. Now I'm hungry, durn it!!!
-
((((Fumi)))), so sorry that you have a UV allergy. I used to get the same thing on my chest, neck and upper arms. It's horrible. I don't sunbake any more! I hope your groin pain goes soon and that you are able to get your bike and car back on the road quickly.
Sheila - wow! You cook things that I've never heard of! I've heard of grits but your biscuits are different from biscuits here and I've never heard of livermash! Sounds interesting... You must be looking forward so much to John coming home. It will be wonderful for both of you. I love reunions!
Lisa - so good to hear from you! Sounds like you had a great time with your sister, brother & nephew at the weekend. I love hearing about Denis - he sounds wonderful and I am just so happy for you. I agree with Judie - it's so great that you still post when you have so much happening in your life.
Judie - I'm thrilled that your son helped you and that you have most of your things unpacked and even pictures on the wall - Wow! I love Henk Guth's paintings. He has such and interesting life too. I know what you mean about the happiness of being imersed in art. When I was doing it at college, it was so great! Sometimes frustrating and hard work but I remember one day when a couple of us went out with our art teacher to paint beside the sea and it was such a wonderful day. I leaned that there is nothing like being out in the elements to help you get the atomosphere into your painting. You need to get immersed again Judie - throw yourself in and revel in it! I want to jump in too!
James & William (eldest & youngest sons) are in Norway and say the people are great there. They are currently at a music festival in Storaas. Heath (middle son) is flying off to meet them in about 2 weeks. James will probably go back to London before too long as he has a girlfriend there and work to do but I think Heath & William hope to visit Russia and eastern Europe. William plans to teach in the UK until the end of Novermber and then work on the ski fields in the US and Canada for a couple of months before flying home in January.
Love to all of you - Fumi, Sheila, Lisa, Judie, Shirlann, Karen, Sue, AnnNYC, Ulla, Suebee, Kaloni, AE & UB, Melody, Wren, Jule, Nancy, Ann and anybody else I may have missed.

Hi everyone...recovery continues. And I don't know if I mentioned the best news...my son got a job! A real job, not a stop-gap, just-to-pay-the-bills job. He's working for Technicolor (the film people) in NYC. He's always been interested in film production and this is right up his alley. He started a week ago and so far he's been loving it.
I go back to work on 8/6, so this is my last full week of surgical disability. My energy level is about normal. The only thing that's not at the stage I'd like is the pain. Still very sore under my arms and the skin across my chest.
Anne - a bear in the house! Yikes! We've had a fair number of bears coming into the area the last few years, but so far, none have gotten into anyone's home.
Karen - I'm saying prayers for your dad. I hate to say it, but as they get older, things get harder. Now on the other hand that puppy is adorable and will bring you hours of joy. That's just the kind of puppy my brother wants to get.
Fumi - Ack! That's too many things going wrong! No more! There just can't be. I hope things have changed for the better.
Lisa - I need a weekend away, too. Great idea. Maybe I'll plan something for Labor Day weekend.
Judie - so glad to hear you are comfortable, at last.
Hi to Mel, Sheila, Shirlann, Sue, AnnNYC, Suebee, Kaloni, Wren...and everyone reading this thread. Tx #5 this Friday, but I'm ready for it!
-
Nancy - I remember you wishing that your son could get a job in his field of interest... and now he has! That is such great news! He will no doubt excel at his work.
I'm sorry to hear that you are still in pain. Could you possibly get a little more time off work? I know that going back to work is very beneficial for some but perhaps you need to heal up a bit more first...?
-
Hello to you all,
Karen, your new puppy is adorable... and I loved the lion video!
Fumi, I'm sorry so many things happened all at once but maybe now a buch of good things will come your way to balance it all out. I sure hope so.
Sue, please go get checked out so you can feel better. I am sending good wishes your way.
Judie, that's great that you are more settled in now so you can relax a bit.
I can't remember who had the bear twice, but sheesh, I'd be staying with a friend... LOL...I can't imagine what that would feel like. I just know I wouldn't want to be home alone.
Nancy, you sound like you are getting a little better every day. The pain will eventually diminish, but I do know that for me, the less I moved around in the beginning the less swelling and pain I had, but then later I needed to stretch and get physical therapy and massages. Take it easy when you return to work!
Shirlann, I almost didn't figure out that was you with the kitty in your photo now! It's cute, but I miss your smiling face too!
Ulla, check in when you have a chance. I miss you.
Hugs to you all.
-
It's been a busy, busy day and it's late. I just had to check in with a couple of big hugs for Fumi and Nancy. Gosh, Fumi! That sounds absolutely miserable! I know it isn't quite the same as having someone lend a shoulder in person, but remember that we're always here for you. Did the dermatologist give you any sort of cream or medication to help with the rash? Hang in there, sweetie!
I'm sorry that you're still in such pain, Nancy. Having had a lumpectomy, I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be in your shoes. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice by not having a mastectomy. Sheesh, I'm so flat, I probably wouldn't even need a prosthetic. LOL!! Take care and definitely take it easy when you go back to work.
Hugs to everyone!
Karen
-
Oh! And congrats to your son for getting such an awesome job, Nancy! I imagine you're absolutely thrilled!
-
The puppy thing was definitely not planned, Judie. My dh came home one night with pictures of a couple of pups from Rusty's litter. A lady he works with is friends with the breeder. Once the kids saw the photos, the decision was pretty much made. When we saw them in person, that was all she wrote! So much for waiting until we get into a bigger house.
-
Ulla, didn't you have a scan on Friday? Any news, honey? Please check in and let us know how you're doing.
Love and hugs,
Karen
-
I figured I would get your interest up with livermush. It is a regional food that can be served any meal. Here is a link that talks about one of the local producers of livermush and sausage. http://www.neesesausage.com/default.htm I was raised in Ohio but moved her in the 70's and fell in love with livermush. I will fry it up with an egg and put it on toast for any meal of the day.
Check in later.
Sheila
-
So, do you slice off a piece and fry it like loose sausage? What's the consistency like...sausage or pate?
-
Yes, you slice it and fry it like sausage or you can eat it cold out of the refrigerator (though I don't like it cold). You buy it in a block because of the mold it has been pressed into (think loaf pan size), and there is a layer of cornmeal on one side that was covering the bottom of the mold. It is softer and moister than sausage because of the cornmeal in it. When you slice it, it holds together without any pressing together. They do call it the pate of the south. The taste is definately unique, not strong liver taste but the spices (sage) make it good.
-
Fumi, honey, could you have Shingles? Sounds peculiarly like Shingles. Might check that out.
Yeah, I miss my face too. hahaha
I ate a lot of liver as a kid, and I love chopped chicken livers on toast with onion, ymmmmm
Yes, Nancy, so happy about the job your son got, I remember realizing I would never be completely happy until all 4 kids were set. It was a shock.
Ulla, honey, check in and let us know how you are doing. I don't think you are getting much emotional support from your facility. This happens, but you do need someone to just say, "You are going to be just fine". Now, they don't know that, but wow, does it feel good to hear. My onc said that every time I visited him.
Hugs and kisses to all of you, Shirlann
-
Hmmmm...the livermush actually sounds good to me. I'm sure the rest of my family would be gagging at the thought of it. My mom used to fix liver and onions a lot when I was a kid and being German, we ate tons of liverwurst.
Hugs,
Karen
-
Sheila,
We can't get livermush out here. I am so looking forward to a livermush sandwich when I get to NC. It's about the only time I like mayo on a sandwich (besides garden tomato sandwiches--it's a crime not to put a healthy dose of good mayo on that!)
The bear came back for a thrid visit this weekend. Tore the screen on my office door to stick his head into the trash can I had close to the door. I caught him licking a candy bar wrapper. He ran off, but not before we peppered his butt with a rubber buckshot blast.
This guy's sweet tooth is starting to tick me off. Ammonia is not a deterrent. Time to call DOW again.
I hope everyone is doing okay. I'm worried when Ulla doesn't show up. Fumi, I agree with Dr. Shirlann--sounds like shingles, but you saw a derm guy, right? Love the puppy, Karen. What a bundle of fun and mischief.
Anne
-
Anne thanks for backing me up on how good livermush is. The funny thing when my son was growing up he did not like my beef liver and onions. I fix it where it melts in your mouth but he loved livermush, he never connected the fact that it was both liver - one beef and one pork. After I married my current hubby, he told John that he would eat what I fixed for the family, none of this fixing something special for him and he then would eat the beef liver. After John first moved to HI we tried to send him a care package in a styrofoam container with dry ice in it but it melted before he got it. I should have sent it overnight priority instead of priority and it would have gotten there safe.
I think that there are only about 5 companies that make livermush. When my hubby's uncle (legally blind) would send us to get his groceries he only wanted 'Hunters' livermush. One time I couldn't find Hunters and got him Neese's Livermush and he gave it to me and refused to eat it.
Anne, hope you get the bear problem straightned out before you head East.
Sheila
-
Popping in to see if Ulla or Sue have posted. Check in ladies, please!
AE

Shirlann, I heard there was just a pretty strong earthquake in Southern CA. Did you feel it where you are in San Diego? Portia's on the phone with her dad, who lives in LA.
-
Well, she can't get through to him and now she's freaked out. I don't miss living there when I hear about this stuff. I was there during the Northridge quake and it was really freaky! Wait--he just e-mailed me. Gotta run!
Karen

Hi Sisters xxx
Firstly I am loving the new avators ...Shirlann I hardly recognise you with black ears

Did anyone have this after chemo... I have had it for 6 weeks now... far worse than when I was on the wretched thing...it is turning out to be a nightmare.... and is frustrating me.... I have had to up my pain meds ...
HOWEVER I WILL NOT GIVE IN...I WILL NOT TAKE ANY SICKIES...

I am finding everything so difficult..... I am thinking people dont like me without my spirit .... I have been so happy go lucky ...but there is a cloud over me ....
What is wrong with me ....xxxx
-
Sue you are recovering from breast cancer and all of the treatments that you were put through. It is an emotional recovery as well as a physical recovery.
I hope that you start feeling better soon, if not I will come over there and look after you myself!
Sheila
-
Dearest Sue,
Your final comment confirmed something I have been concerned about. Your spunk and intensity about everything good or bad is what sparked the formation of this whole community. We think we are giving support to you, but in reality we depend on your spirit, too. It is time for the rest of us to carry the load of spunk and let you rest for a while. You are Sue with or without your spirit. You are loved. You don't have to sparkle or fume.
A sickie does not mean giving up. I know you don't believe that, but I would encourage you to take time off...not to give up, but to take some pressure off your body while you tackle something else that is meaninful...outings with the boys, friends...whatever is stimulating without being brutally physical.
I love you, dear sister. I'm so sorry the Emerald City has yet to gleam for you. We'll all work on polishing it until you are ready.
Judie

Oh Judie ...you brought a tear to my eyes ....
I posted over on chemo forum ..... do you think I have inflammortry b/c oh my good god....
I just think it is post chemo...my body doesnt know if it is coming or going or gone and come back HAHAHAHA....

(I am worried now after posting on chemo)
Goin to google GRRRRR XXX
-
Anne ...OH MY GOD ....your bear!!!! what a story xxx I hope he doesnt bother you anymore !!!
-
I wish I could tell you there is nothing to be concerned about, but no one can at this point. You are taking appropriate steps. It is a good sign that you are feeling better with the penicillin.
You are weary, and for good reason. You have many, many backs to ride on if you can just jump on. Remember, though...worry is for "shit". It won't make the outcome better or worse, but it makes you miserable. No way can you be Pollyanna, but please try to find ways to unwind. Waiting is the cruelest torture of this ugly invader of ours. It was tough for me, and you have had far more of it. I understand.
How can we best help?
Judie
