Ossa - glad to hear that all went well and you are resting now. Hope the healing goes just as well.

 Dianarose - sorry that you are facing chemo. Cancer really and truly does suck! It may take your hair but please don't let it ever take your spirit. One day at a time - you will get through it all with a the help of your friends here. ((hugs))

Ossa - glad it went well! Sending you healing vibes...

((((dianarose)))) - like someone else said, one day at a time... 

Ossa

A tree.

DianaRose.. Hang in there.. Chemo is doable. I look at it as a "bump in the road" in the great scheme of things.. Keep in mind They are doing it for you not to you..

Ossa I am so happy to hear everything went well and you are on the mend.  Loved the pockedt party.  I just love all those fun foods.

I love your chemo analogy....so perfect.  You are so right.  Perspective is an amazing thing.

Dianarose I am sorry you are facing it, but anything that helps to beat the disease is good motivation.  Like Eli said, donating the hair would be awesome.

I got the biggest, most amazing surprise yesterday.  Since moving here two years ago I really miss my family.  Yesterday my DH called me out to the driveway to "help" him with something.  I walked out, and there stood my son and DIL from Colorado!  Jenifer was holding a vase of red roses.  They flew in and rented a car.  I was floored, shocked, emotional.  Huge hugs and tears!  I have not seen them in nearly two years.  They are just here for the weekend and both have to work.  They are both geologists, they work for different oil companies in Denver.  Right now they each have a well they are supervising via the good old internet.  While they took breaks to work, we still had a wonderful time.  They took us to dinner last night, my choice.  I picked Olive Garden.  It is just a rare treat for me.  We had such a great meal.  Drinks, appetizers, and a huge meal.  DH and I brought most of ours home.  Tonight Adam informed me they are cooking for me.  I am the only one that does not like crab, so Adam is grilling me a steak.  He is getting crab for he and Jen and Chuck.  They are staying at a hotel.  Jen is really allergic to cats and I have three!  They are working this morning and will be here sometime early afternoon.  It is just such an amazing thing.  This will definitely go down as the best Mother's Day ever! 

I wish wonderful joy and happy surprises to all the mom's out there.  You have earned it!

How wonderful Janis! I'm so happy for you!

post hole?

I see the MP has generated some interest.  It won't be a hint if I say it is something very ordinary, but ALSO something very weird.  You'll see.  I can't wait for the reveal tomorrow.

Dianarose

mystery picture- hole in a tree.

Meece

Is that the home of a trap-door spider?

Paula66

Janis how wonderful to have a surprise like that!!  I'm so happy for you. 

Meece

Actually I think it looks like a hole made by an auger or post hole digger.

Dianarose~I think this is the link to the thread someone referred to.

To make something with your own hair.

Hugs.

If the link doesn't work it's called 'Make your own hair halo'.  Posted by Shera.  You can find it on the 'search'.  Wonderful idea and great instructions how to do it.

The pic looks like a hole to me too.  A drilled hole but a hole just the same.

Hello Mothers and Others,

Quite a few guesses...a couple people could not "tell their a$$ from a hole in the ground" but most of you did have the right guess:  A Hole In The Ground!

We don't know if it IS or is NOT a mining hole, but since Paula66 was the first to mention "hole," she gets to post the next weekend's MP.

But I told you it was unusual too, so here is the caption from where I got the pic.  See if you can unravel THAT mystery!

     

From the end of 1980s a strange phenomena is happening in some Russian forests. People find strange, deep holes.

They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can’t get on the car or truck to bring any device to drill the ground. There is not any soil that should be taken from such deep holes found.

On this pictures people go down to one of such holes but it just finishes with nothing. There are no any reasonable ideas on how these holes appear and what they are being used for.

I went to my MO this morning.  Low platelets.  Now I should worry about that, but I'm not going to.  Instead, I am getting it rechecked in three weeks after I come back from a long overdue vacation.  Isn't this just like B/C to try and spoil things?  Well, it can't because I won't let it.  Also, I plan on having normal platelets in three weeks.

Elimar - (( Hugs )) to you!  Enjoy the long overdue vacation!! Only start worrying about something when you KNOW there is something to worry about!!  I know, I know, easier said than done, but it does help to repeat it to yourself to be able to enjoy each moment!!  (It's what I TRY to do!)

Dianarose, I didn't have long hair when I had chemo but I imagine it would have been harder if hair had been longer. As it is, my hair fell out, I shaved what was left off, it grew back out, and now 3 years later, I've voluntarily shaved it all off again so my mom, who is battling Stage IV lung cancer with mets to liver & brain, won't be alone in her baldness (she had brain radiation & is losing her hair).  BC does suck!  Good luck with the chemo-it's not fun, but it is do-able!
