    Thank you everyone, I love the posts.

    I plan to keep traveling also, like Faithie, but when I am old it will be with funky hair and perky boobs.

    Peace and laughter everyday,

    Cheryl

    chrissyb-I'm not sure there was a message being sent by mom, cause she & I have both been man-less for years & she wouldn't be telling me to drink wine because there is a famous family picture of me on the day after the last time I did serious confrontation with wine, approximately 25 years ago!  Like Meece though, I was reading it with all seriousness, got to the punch line & laughed outloud!!  Knew it would perfect for you girls.

    Dang it! I gave myself an earworm when I wrote the lyrics to that silly song---now I can't get it out of my head!

    E-love the cheerleader!

    When a song gets stuck in your head, I heard the only way to get it out is to sing the song all the way through.  Try it.  Let me know if it works.  Also, let me know how many strange looks you get.

    I had to edit the picture, to switch out Jiminy Cricket for the correct one of Uncle Remus, who sang "Zippity-Do-Dah" in Song of The South, Disney's racially-incorrect film from 1946.  The song did win the Academy Award for Best Song the following year.

    You could try replacing it with another song, something that makes you want to jump around.  Then sing all the words and hop around.  Might as well take advantage of a good song while yu got it.

    When i think of Zippity Doo Da, I think of Disneyland.

    Joni, if I'm going to be honest, I have to say that I was reading your post about that wonderful man thinking "oh crap, she's lost it ... there goes another one" and then I got to the end - the phrase LOL was created for that moment!!!!!  Despite my occasional bitching in here (usually after a few glasses of wine, by the way) I am also lucky to have a good guy, but luckily he's as far from perfect as I am!  PauldingMom, I am sooooooooooooo happy to read your news :)  Here's to you kid

    Paulding!! Paulding!! Paulding!!!

    Way to start our weekend.

    You made it through the waiting process. Harrowing. Now exhale.

    ****Elimar. I had an idea for you the other day.

    I wish that when you post a new picture in our thread-header, that you would also post it here in the 'body' of the continuing thread. Does that make sense? There have been several visuals that I miss when we move on to the next picture. It would comfort my silly nonsensical mind to know that those visuals were always here, for newbies to appreciate, for oldbies to roll back and bask.

    Just a thought.

    I'm easily entertained & I appreciate the effort you go to find us smiles.

    xx00xx00xx

    Group hug.

    faithandfifty,

    I completely understand your point, and have thought about putting that ephemeral top pic into the body of the thread.  I think I have done it only a few times so far.  One consideration to do it is that anyone actually reading thru' would see the pic people have made references to  (i.e.  Ha-ha, love the pic) and know which pic they meant.  Counter to that, sometimes I put up a new pic at the top when I wouldn't want to disturb the flow of the thread topic.  Like, "sorry you were put off over the weekend waiting on test results, but here are some jumping dolphins while you wait."

    Also, while I like "decorating" the thread at the top, I don't necessessarily want to dominate by having all those appear in the thread.   I enjoy when others take a hand in the thread pics and do some of their own "decorating."  You have posted some great ones on here, for sure.  Can there ever by too many pictures?  Well, some threads are almost all pictures and they wonderful, so no.  I've just tried to have the pics kind of balance with the text here, enough to keep it interesting.  I really didn't get going with the pics til you, Faith, gave me a tutorial.  Thanks again!

    So, I will try to double up on some pics more often, but probably won't do that with every single one.  Anyone who sees one up there that they just love, then right click on it and save the file onto your computer for posterity.

    Hope everyone's Holiday Weekend is off to a good start.  I plan to start mine by hauling some yard waste to the dump.  Good times!  Other than that, I'll have the grill fired up most of the weekend.  I don't think I ever went on about how much I love having a gas grill.  I truly use that thing all year long

    On a B/C subject, my SNB surgery was over a year ago and that site is still getting uncomfortable twinges of soreness.  Has anyone else noticed that also?  I'm going for a check Thurs. with the  RadOnc (substition for the check I should have had with my BS, but he is in Afghanistan) and will mention it.  Can't wait to tell him my ribs still hurt on the Rads side.  Anticipating his denial that it is Rads related, but I know from several members on here that the rib pain can hover for years, and is not too unusual.

    PaulingMom -  I am so relieved for you! It's about time something good happened! YAY!

    Elimar:  I've had left side pain off and on since finishing rads almost 2 years ago. I'm also convinced they overextended my left arm during surgery since I've had trouble doing planks and down-dogs in yoga. I know one rib went soft during rads and there's an indentation there. They weren't concerned, but every now and then, that area makes me want to rip my bra off. My BS is quite fond of reminding me that rads is the gift that keeps on giving. Beats the alternative though! Laughing

    Have a wonderful holiday weekend, all.

    Eli, I have soreness in my SNB site, and major soreness in my axillary node dissection site and I'm 5 yrs out (I just love saying that).  Not every day, but now and then and it catches me offguard and I think I did something, then I'll realize where it is and just sigh.  I also have an area in my radiated breast which continues to change 4 yrs after the rads finished and I'm told that's not unusual.  My BS keeps me at 6 mos intervals and has done punch bx, excisional bx, needle bx and multiple MRI's and a BSGI to make sure that rad onc isn't just dismissing it.  What fun we have, huh? On the flip side, I'm down the shore and the weather couldn't be more gorgeous ... sunny, breezy and 80 degrees.  Life is good :)

    Yep, that's what I am talking about...pain that kind of comes and goes in the SNB area.  That area has always been more sensitve than my lumpectomy site.  My theory is that it might be scar tissue adhesions onto the muscle there, and I'm always stretching 'cause it still wants to tighen up in that area.  It's not that bad, and some of you have had a lot more nodes out than I have, so I shouldn't complain.  Just kind of surprised that I'm not all healed even after a year.

    Eli, i remember coming to the chat room after my surgery and saying how my underarm numbness would stop after a few weeks, cause that's what my surgeon told me.  and all the loving wonderful women in there saying, gee i hope so, but just in case, don't be surprised if it doesn't.  and - honest to God - I remember feeling bad for them because they still had problems, but MY surgeon had said I would get feeling back, so I just KNEW that I would!!!!  when I said something to here a year or so later about how the underside of my arm was still numb , and my armpit still hurt, she said "oh yes, some people take longer" ... and trust me, I had one of the best surgeons in the Phila, PA area and I still love her to death ... but apparently they just don't want to tell us the bad crap.  thank God, thank God, thank God we have this forum to share and vent and share and vent and .... ok, I'l stop :)
