VickiSam

Thank you for the warm Welcome, Middies.   

 I love turkey .. and try to bake several Turkey breast thru out the year.   My grandparents are from Russian .. so the Country of Turkey is close to my mother-land.

Any of you wonderful WARRIORS, live in Southern California ?

Vicki, many do ... check under the name on left to see location - some of us list it there.  I'm an east coaster myself, and more than 5 yrs out if that helps you at all!!

marlegal - let the party begin!

Vicki Sam - I don't live in So Calif, but am originally from Riverside.

Annette:  Thought I was on my way to Dallas to see the Chicago Blackhawks play the Stars but couldn't get a decent price on airfare.  DH and I were looking to do something fun/different and seeing the Hawks play somewhere out of town and hopefully in a better climate sounded good.  I picked Dallas because I have never been to Texas.  But we are going to Tampa to see the Hawks play the Llightning instead.   I still have San Antonio on my wish list of places I would like to visit.  So Maybe I'll get there in the fall.  Have a good night everyone.

wow what a cool way to see hte country and have fun doing something you're interested in at the same time!  I would be envious, except I hate that trait in people, so have a ball NavyMom!!!

I'm still trying to find out from hub whether he ever wants to do another cruise (we did one two yrs ago and I am frothing at the mouth to do another) or whether I should plan one with friends - one way or the other, I'm going, it's just a question of with whom!!!

and just to keep the party vibe going on this spring-feeling friday night in the northeast ... here's some warm weather flowery breezes for you all...this pic just made me feel springy, even though I know I have many many more weeks of winter till I get there

Sunangle I am just north of Dallas would love to meet you if you have time but will understand since you will there to see your friends.



Marlegal thanks for the cheetos and drinks on the beach. Makes a good start to the weekend.

NavyMom - If you do plan on going to San Antonio, let me know.  I lived there for 10 years and I could make some good suggestions on places to see and places to eat.  I could be your virtual tour guide LOL!

VickiSam

Simply website ... profiles, etc.   I get a bit confused with the posting .. as some go back to 2007, and posting on the subject continue ... ???

 Welcome newbies I was there not to long ago.  It has been a blessing to have them here in the beginning. I see my 1st oncologist appt on Mon but going to Maine tomorrow to see my sister cousin and niece before treatment.  I will try to forget about the big C for a few days.  I know once I have surgery and start treatment I will not be going anywhere.  I am going to try to get lobster for dinner I love seafood.  Have a good weekend and God Bless You All

marlegal

Lynniea, I hope you have an utterly wonderful awesome time with sister/cousin this weekend. Shut off the BC meter sweetie - you don't need  it for a couple days.  We're hvaing kids for dinner Sunday and have lobster in freezer - not as good as fresh, but still better than no lobster!!  I'll be thinking of you when we have that hon.  Hugs

VickieSam-my advice is to just go back no more than 5 pages on any thread you're interested in- that will give you an idea of the topics covered but won't be totally overwhelming.  I've never read a thread all the way thru except for the couple 3 I have been lucky to get on pretty much the beginning of it!  Good luck!

Paula,

Congrats on making it throught the first week, now celebrate with a long weekend I hope.  I think working has been great for me too,  Keeps my mind going on other topics.

Sandee you trip sounds wonderful, as does the girlfriend road trip.  My family and girlfriends have rallied so much around me it have been so great to have their support and the support of the ladies here.

Welcome to our new posters,sorry you are members of the sisterhood but this is a great thread with wonderful supportive knowledgeable women who know how to have fun and love CHEETOS!

As for Texas and Turkey, I have been in Texas, eaten Turkey and my DS has been studying Turkish in college and took an immersion class last summer in Wisconsin, on the edge but since we are loosely qualifying I guess it counts!

Feeling much better today, more sleepy this round, even with all those steroids, hate to see what I'd be like without them.

{{{{{HUGS TO ALL}}}

Ok, is it too late, I live in Texas and have a turkey in the freezer.  the past2 weeks that Turkey could have beenkept frozen outside for days and now today it was 80 outside.  Texas weather you gotta love it.

leisaparis

I'd like to join in if it's not to late. I eat turkey every year at least once. Have been to San Antonio Texas for my sons graduation in the military. He was in AIT training. We went down to see him graduate and spend some time together. We don't all get to be together much so when the opportunity hits we all try to go. Always have a great time.

beautiful picture on the beach...had to save that one,will make a great card

welcome all newbies....(((hugs))) to everyone else, you all are my rock

sunangel27

OH MY!!! Them chocolate covered stawberries look so yummy!!! BUT THAT BEACH LOOKS EVEN MORE YUMMY!!!!!!     I was talking to some friends and family yesterday on fb about wanting to get away to the beach SOON!!!!!     Living near the beach for quite a few years of my life and then not for over the last 25 yrs has been a shock to my system!! hehee When things bothered me when I was young, I would go sit by the shore and just watch the waves and listen to the crashing of them.........such a peaceful time........wish I had that now......

sunangel27

oh yeah.........I forgot the turkey/Texas thingy!! heheeee

I USE to live in Texas, for about three months!! and I have family and friends in Texas.......and I have a turkey in the freezer at work.......(our boss gave us turkey for Christmas, but because I had my surgery I couldn't lift it to get it home!! hheee) so it is still in there!!  So....does that count??? heheheeeeeeeee

Thinking tonight when I go to work I will make me a note to bring the turkey home......maybe cook it for the crew at work next week.

sunangel27

lynniea

Sandeeonherown

beccad-Never too late for Turkey!!!

Lynia- good atitude...you are right.your wings will be clipped for a wee bit while you wait on appointments but you will travel again. I did school campling trips etc. all summer as i knew my surgery would be at least 6 weeks post mammogram so....i planned things on the weekends...for me the fall was hell asi had no idea when rads would start and end...they were a month behind and since i was not doing chemo, they were able to put me off abit...felt grounded...but now I am on the move again so...not to worry! Enjoy the lobster!

sunangel27

I sure will

NativeMainer

Lynniea-what part of Maine is your family in? Hope you have a great visit! Watch out for the black ice this morning.

Mariegal-lobstah is good, no matter how you get, enjoy! Lots of melted butter necessary, and big bibs for the mess. Don't forget to suck out the meat in the little claws.

VickieSam-Eph is right. I've been on a handful of threads from the beginning, and the discussion tends to wander around the main topic quite a bit. As people come and go some things get discussed more than once. Start a few pages back, 3 to 5 is a good number, and you'll pick up the thread of the conversation (pun intended). Welcome to the club no one wants to have to join. You'll find lots of help here.

JeanH-YUMMY!

Mariegal-the perfect place to eat lobstah-make all the mess you want then go swim it off! Thanks for sharing.

Beccad-sounds like Texas weather is getting as predictable as Maine weather!

Sunangel-I grew up on an island and used to do the very same thing. I really miss it now that I live inland. And ocean fog smells soo good, river fog just isn't the same. I still drive to some of my favorite spots when I'm really stressed and have the time and can afford the gas.

I have a turkey in the freezer that has been there for at least 3 years, and through at least 2 unintentional freezer defrostings, does that count? I'm afraid to eat and too parsimonious to throw it away.
