    OMG, now he may be my favorite!  He's playing Lucas Davenport on a USA movie this week.  Love Mark Harmon!!!  I even like him with gray hair now on NCIS and Denoso isn't bad either.

    Good luck Yorkiemom.  Someone better hide the chocolate from me.  I still haven't bought Halloween candy or it would be all gone.  The same might happen in the pocket, unless I could be distracted with pix of Mark Harmon.  That has a chance of working!

    LOL Kitty - bring it! Wink Not sure I want to keep the cath though... Undecided

    My crazy 6-month-old boxer pup ate a sock a couple of days ago and ended up with a bowel obstruction and had to have emergency surgery last night. He's always getting into clothes and such and this isn't the first time he ate something, but usually he barfs it up. Not this time. Sad, tired, and about $3K poorer...like I needed that.

    Good luck to you Yorkiemom.  Make room in the pocket for me. 

    Well I am thrilled to know I am not the only chocoholic here.   I have to wait till 2 hours before dark to buy mine!  Last year we bought candy half a dozen times!  Maybe I should start buying the kinds we don't like?  Hmmm....not sure if there is such a thing.

    Zumba and Joni.......what a fantastic picture of the two of you.  So glad you got to meet up!

    Paula, thanks for the coffee.  Yum!

    zumba - What a nice picture of you two.

    Claire - Love Mark Harmon - he can be my doctor anytime.  I do have to admit, my MO is absolutely gorgeous and the nurses agree with me.

    Zumba & Joni - Awesome photo! :) 

    It cracks me up how this thread experiences these fun detours into all sorts of...treats, shall we say. We women sure know how to entertain ourselves! I'll take the white russian and some of those chocolates, and leave the aging naked rocker to y'all. :)

    I, too, have an automatic mom eye-twitch at the picture of the impending doom pictured above. She's totally going to slip when she lands, and certainly there are nasty bacteria in that puddle, and she's going to ruin her shoes, and her clothes will be wet and we'll have to go somewhere... This is assuming she doesn't fall over what is bound to be a dangerous ledge back there. Hmmmmmm, I wonder why my nickname is "Safety Mom."

    zumbagirl,  Thanks for sharing your pic.  Wish I could have joined you two.  I agree with mumayan.  Also, thanks for the tip about the vinegar/listerine soak.  I had not heard about that before, but I think quite a few get the nail problem.

    hawaiik,  I see.  In your case, it was good you had the option to wait on the surgery then. With invasive, we can't get ours out fast enough!  Glad your husband is recovering, a slow process, I know.  Remind us as your December surgery gets close.  We're supportive, but we don't claim to remember everything around here.

    kay1963,  I cannot buy chocolate bars for Halloween. Cannot withstand the temptation.  So, I bought some Airheads.  Have eaten a good number of those.  Bought the bag of carmel assortment candies.  Started off innocently having a few milk carmels with a nice juicy apple, progressed to eating every Butter Rum Royal in the bag.   I do have will power, but I have a bigger sweet tooth.  I guess I haven't met a candy I don't like.  What to do?  They don't let you give out horseradish or turnips.

    Oh, looks like I better find a new photo for the top, but aren't things supposed to get a little scary at Halloween time?  Steel yourselves!

    Barbe, You won't be able to join Sweet Tooth Anonymous with that license plate.  ;-)  You have totally outted yourself.  My confession would be that when I eat Boston Baked Beans, sometimes I just eat the burnt sugar coating and not the peanut inside.  That's pretty bad.  My poor teeth can testify to that.

    I LOVE Mark Harmon - he's my kinda hunk (as a matter of fact I just said that to my DD the other day when we saw an NCIS commercial).



    Well everyone I'm back in the living - only got BMX - surgery took too long (7 hours). BS. Had to do a skin graft but no pain so that's good. Thank you everyone for your well wishes and pocket handholding.

    reesie, Glad you are doing o.k.  The big question...how many drains are you sporting?   Guess the ooph will have to wait til next time, but that will be one more punch on your Free Surgery card.  What?  Your hospital doesn't have that?

     20+ years we've lived in the woods, 20+ years I buy lots of halloween candy "just in case" 20+ years I eat it all! Not one single trick or treater!

    No more sugar for this gal (just the virtual kind) so no more halloween candy.  DH said if they make it all the way here he'll give them a dollar!

    Nice to hear you are good Reesie.

    Mary's favorite song in the Poppins movie "A spoonful of sugar"  - must be Elimar's theme song!

    Yay-Zumba, you were able to get us posted.  Hope the neutrapena or however it's spelled goes quickly!

    I haven't bought my Halloween candy yet either....I'm going to wait until the last minute so I'm not tempted!

    I'm being bad and taking a break from my tamoxifen for a few days. It's been strange because even though I'm still premenopausal, I was beginning to have a few hot flashes and leg cramps at night the last few months so I expected the tamoxifen to just make those symptoms worse. Wrong!!! All my menopausal symptoms went away and my ovaries kicked in high gear. For the last two weeks the pain has gotten worse and worse every day; Tuesday night I woke up at 3AM and it felt like someone was putting a knife in my right ovary...ouch! Fortunately it didn't last long but it scared me so I told my darlin husband that I was afraid to keep taking it. It took me back to the days when I was on fertility drugs trying to get pregnant. Since tamoxifen used to be used as a fertility drug in the past, I guess it decided to ramp my ovaries up. I probably have more estrogen running around in my body now then I did before I started taking it. I remember how after I took the clomid, they did studies that showed that women who took it for more than four months in a row were at a higher risk for ovarian cancer. I was so glad that I had only taken it for four months! I don't need the tamoxifen to do that to me. So I guess I will end up having to do the lupron shots and take one of the AI's which my MO said we would do if I had too many problems with the tamoxifen; she said that tamoxifen has never been her first choice for people anyway. The fun goes on....

    Barb58, the SE are one of the reasons why I've opted not to do Tamoxifen. I've already been plagued with all the hot flashes and stuff, for a couple years now, so why make it worse? And at this point, it's been 10 months since the last time I had my period, so I think I'm finally crossing over to the other side.... either way, hope the pain goes away for you, and good luck with whatever you do.

    OK, I just have to comment on something that's been really confusing me here. There's Barb58 and there's barbe1958. You're both not the same person, right?? I think this is the first thread that I've actually come across both your names together. Whew! I really thought I was going crazy here... ok, back to your regularly scheduled programmming....

    Thanks orangemat! Yes, we are two different people and I didn't know about barbe1958 when I picked out my name so I keep thinking I should change mine so it's less confusing.

    Eph, are you sure about that?  It just might be Supercalafragiwhatchamacallit.

    Barb58,  I'm going to want to shorten that to ILC, and those initials aren't too well liked around here.  iloveC doesn't work either.   Hmmm, I'll think of something.

    Too many pages to read. 

    Zumba and Eph love the picture of you too thanks for sharing.  Zumba glad you got the picture thing figured out.

    Paula love love the stuf muffin LMAO too funny!

    Reesie so glad all went well for your sugery but too bad on not get the two-fer.  Think the next one should be free.

    ilovechirstimas--when I first went on tamox my estrogen kicked in gear and my sex drive went into overdrive.  DH was not complaining.  It has now settled down.  I have had cyst issues in the past but they have nto bothered me on tamox. 

    Go tomorrow for my 6 month screening, mammo and US.  Hate the roller coaster seems like I just got smashed and I am doing it again.  Not smashed on white russions either!!! Wine will do just fine and maybe some of that chocolate you gals keep talking about.  May have to make a trip to Walmart after work.
