Abbreviations for newbies - updated

Anonymous

Jeanette, anytime someone posts to a thread, it "bumps" that thread to the top of the active topics list. 

It is important that this list never get "buried" too deep because it is such a wonderful resource for newbies and long time participants alike, so people bump it to the top on a regular basis.

Thanks Twin (JO). 

Jeannette - you are soooooooooo funny - a wonderful addition to BCo.  We need all the people with a sense of humor we can find.  Laughter absolutely works to ease the stress and tension.

Excellent job! Patoo! I posted sometime back about CMF and then forgot to come back and check on it. You had asked me where I saw it. I can't remember that either - chemo brain LOL. I think it is a protocol but I am not sure.  Sorry I can't be more informative.

Oh and just thought I would add

IDK = I don't know - this is very common among the younger posters. I got it from a 15yr old friend and use it a lot. LOL "Cuz IDK nuttin!"

Not a problem CM; I had forgotten about it as well.  Just googled it and since the description referenced BC I have posted that.

If anyone thinks it's something else they can let me knw.

Again, thanks everyone for chiming in to add.  I think we should probably try and stick close to terms we find in our reports or on these boards relating to dx but I had to add the IDK because most, if not all, of us were in that position when we were first dx.  There have been so much to learn and these boards have been a God-send towards that end.

Thanks Patoo!!!

Actually the IDK was just my sense of humor showing through, but you are right, we have all been there!

What is PFC

Anonymous

Perfluorinated compounds, or PFCs, have shown up in wildlife, drinking water supplies, and human blood.  Here's a link to full (unverified) link:  http://www.newsinferno.com/archives/3020

Story links the chemicals to breast milk.

Some women on the boards refer to things that happen Post F#@$ing Chemo by those initials.

I just saw the first snow flakes.

Meece

Went Christmas shopping all afternoon. The stores seemed too warm.  No jackets for us, mid 60s and sunshine.  Hard to get in a Christmassy mood in the bright sunshine.

Meece, want us to send some snow your way?  From the snow my glasses darkened as I shovelled because it is so bright.  But, I'd rather your "bright" to mine. 

Meece

I would love some snow.  Maybe then DH would let me have a fire in the fireplace.  We had  almost 1/4 of our annual rainfall in the last couple of weeks.

No fun having a fireplace if you can't have a fire!  Wish I had one altho I had one in a house 20 years ago, didn't know anything about flue's and the like.  Built a fire and evacuated because the flue was closed!  Hey, city gal here grew up in a NYC tenement.  Fireplaces don't come with instructions.
