    mnDeb, so agree, cheese and chocolate are two things there shouldn't be limits of (excuse ending a sentence with a dangling participle), and not eaten together of course! Ok, time to put down the Mexican hot chocolate and go clean up the kitchen. Hoping it doesn't take too long

    Deb, what are we drinking? I think a lemon-drop martini sounds tasty. They are strong but ohh so good.

    Holeinone - That sounds yummy! Never had one, but I love lemon anything. So, lemon-drop martini it is! Can I still have an umbrella in it?

    oh ya, but 2 my  limit....cause I have become a light weight, no alcohol for 6 months has turned me into a whimp... I tested out Friday night at my "done with rads party", good red wine, hit me quick, but was oh so fun to indulge a little.

    I think we should have all of the above! If that doesn't cure d or c then the heck with it! I'll be 64 tomorrow. I can remember loaf of bread at .39. When I was making $3.50 an hour that was a good wage.

    No alcohol allowed during rads?

    Mdngtdeb- I did not know about coffee opening up the airways. Will try that, thank you for sharing that!

    I am just now finishing work, got a lot done by working at home today. But a very mixed day as I have had two friends who have lost family members this past weekend, and one called today about one of those losses. I knew her mom well and knew her mom was failing and the mom passed yesterday. We had a good long talk though, which felt good. My mom passed two years ago this March and just know how hard it all is at the end. Writing sympathy cards and going to a funeral this weekend.

    But a nice surprise too, a friend from back east going to be in town and invited me to go up north to my fav hot springs in March for my birthday. Some hot spring soaking and girl time. I said "count me in."

    What a day, time for bed!

    mdnghtDeb, 

    Alcohol during rads in moderation, I think is fine. I did have a few beers, but was still feeling the after effects of chemo & trying to be sensible. 

    I have read here & on the Komen board that you are supposed to abstain from alcohol or limit yourself to 3 drinks a week....that is going to be challenging during golf season,,,

    Jazzygirl - Yep. The coffee works when in a tight spot. The caffeine is a bronchodilator (kind of like your albuterol)! Really can help wheezing when no meds around or just not doing the trick. 

    So sorry to hear about your friends, and your losses! Hugs!

    Hot spring soaking AND girl time...awesome!

    Holeinone - I can totally understand the being sensible thing! Especially if you were still feeling effects of chemo! WTG! I was just curious if alcohol was completely off limits during rads. I will be starting in a few weeks and just collecting info. Thanks! xo

    still on page 289... Catch up time.

    Hi1 - started on a glass of red wine (a rarity for me). I'll pass on the tequila (heart burn) but lemon-drop martini's   My limit is two, (it's really one but this is a special occasion). Yay for you! Any excuse for a party? 

    I have lots of leftovers: I spent time making something I don't usually make but no one here interested, boo. I have just chicken, chicken/cheese and just cheese enchiladas left and Mexican rice (lots). Oh well, tomorrow I won't want to cook and they won't want leftovers, too bad. 

    Smaarty, almost your birthday! You're just a sneeze older than me! I remember my first real job, was about $4 hour and that was something. Now it doesn't buy a loaf of bread.

    Chrissy, hoping you're doing ok. Saw on another thread about the fire, praying the weather brings some moisture. Sounds like your area is similar to where I live in regards to hot, dry weather and fires. While I love that we've been having great weather for winter, very scary in regards to fire hazards.

    Morning gals!  Mimi, I think we ALL like clowns!  And yes, that little invisible "dog" is really cute!  We've seen "them" at the shopping centers around Christmas...image   Oh?  You make mistakes?  So that means you REALLY belong here..Ha!  

    We were at the shopping center yesterday, and there were 2 women, that had to call for help!  It has been soooooooo cold here, that it is just hard on cars, and they both had dead batteries!   I don't mean they were actually yelling for help, but they must have CALLED for assistance..... thought I would add that.  I was busy drinking my Starbucks, and ignoring them. 

    Yes, we share.... so  stay here...  I just want to make someone smile...even when I can't...  And I always sleep well, except for last night!  Awake every 2 hours, just THINKING!  Why can't I finish it all in the DAYtime, and not have to wake up to think some more? 

    Enerva...  It sounds like they were trying to say Mississippi, and they got side-tracked, and called it Mississauga!  That's my theory anyway.  I'm so sorry about your Sister...   We will be thinking of her.... Sisters just have a special bond... Like my Daughter's do...  When is her surgery?  Enerva, That's a SONG, Ha! 

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBDF04fQKtQ

    Did any of you see that Tribute to the Beatles the other night?  It was soooo good!  I  even stayed up to watch it!  I think the music, and bands were better now, then when they were kids...  The other artists were exceptional! 

    GG, See if you can open this one...

    http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/fda-reconsiders-heart-safety-common-pain-pills-22443592

    They are just talking about all the drugs we take for pain, along with the Naproxin  in Aleve...  I think the whole thing, is just don't take more than recommended...  Can you use a cream on your boob?  Or hold the freezer door open, and kind of fan yourself with that?   image Wait.... do you have those little ice packs?  You can  put them in your bra?  Maybe, if it is burnt, you have to be careful... how about an Aloe Vera leaf?   I KNOW those help burns, cuts...etc.

    GEEZ Cammi!  You sat on your phone ..... AGAIN?????  What did we tell you about using that vibrating phone whilst SITTING on it!   Damn kids never learn!    WHO said you were quirky?  WE get to say that, not anyone else..... 

    Jazzy, "people that like the sound of their voice"....??  Kind of like the acceptance speeches, right?  You fell asleep?  THAT'S what you need when you can't sleep.... just record them, and play it when you need to sleep!  Ha, ha!    Then TELL them all, what a restful night you had, just by listening to their hum-drum little voices.   See what happens....

    Morning Teka and Spookie! 

    Oh Midnight, that is RIGHT!  Warm coffee!  Or my Doc used to say go outdoors if it is really cold, and breathe the chill!   He also said take all your clothes off, and go frolic in the snow, it will help Asthma... and he would be hiding in the bushes.  Oh?  Are we being serious here?   And you have never heard of a chocolate coke?  How old are you?  Evidently not a kid from the 50's?  Or Drive-in's?  Okay, go fix one... 

    All you need is chocolate syrup, open a coke, pour it all over ice, and stir slowly... otherwise the whole thing comes sloshing out over the sides and you have to catch it with your mouth.

    Sure Cammi, yes you DO have more to choose from.... Like Vodka, a little Jack, and any NUMBER of panty-looseners.  

    Yes GG, they WERE a nickel!  And served in a little plastic cone thing, that set in that black plastic holder!  And I would buy a little pack of those peanut-butter cheese crackers!  I was in heaven.  I would get that after my dancing class, at the corner drugstore, on my way to the bus... I must have been about 14?

    image

    Oh you guys are just egging that CAMMI  ON!    I can still hear you, you know...?  Oh wait a minute..... No I can't...!  But I KNOW you are there! 

      And yes Maddy.... Just add syrup to a chocolate Coke!  

    Oh???  Cammi finally got her picture posted?  Ha, ha!  I'll bet it drove her nuts.  And Maddy, a "dangling participle?"  WE wouldn't know what one was if it ran in front of us!  Are you kidding?

    Morning Teka...again....  Aren't you partying with the girls?  Did you get some rest? 

    Yes, Happy Birthday Smarty!  You little smarty-pants you! 

    Okay, I've run out of your posts!  How fun to find you all here...  And where's Sass?  Her owls are still running rampant on this thread!  They will soon take us over...  We need an intervention......

    Good Morning party animals, oh and Chevy. OK here's the scoop about alcohol.

    When I was getting chemo there was a women in her late 60's and always with her husband and we'd goof around a lot--well it ended up we all goofed around--but she was ONE that drank Jack Daniels, and our nurse would say can u just wait 24 hrs and let the chemo set in then go ahead and drink, cuz u'r going to anyway., And as the nurse walked away she'd always say oh yea 2-4 hrs. I can wait--and she drank everyday and she ended up fine, actually did well, I'm not saying to drink, but u wonder all these rules what do they mean, when no one knows what causes all of this. And it's funny cuz I got to know a lot of people cuz I was getting chemo like 2 yrs. so people come and go and a lot drank too. and they left doing well. Anyway I'm sure reasonably is fine, my sister has 1-2 glasses of red wine every night never stopped and she's doing better than most. Of course when we were 16 as long as we weren't going out--we could have a glass of red wine at home every day, and when I was anemic I had to have 2--my mom was not for this but my dad thought red wine did wonders and grapes that made the win. who could argue he lived to be 96 so who knows.

    Now it's someone's BD today, YYYAAAYYYY u have started celebrating just continue for the rest of the week, u'r supposed to.

    Oh miss Cammimakingsensehere!  Okay, I remember going over to my girlfriends house, when we were about 14 or 15, and her little Italian Mom would give us a shot of Annisette, for the cramps!  Ha!  I felt so risque'!  I mean if my Dad would have heard someone was giving away free booze, he would have camped out on her door-step! 

    I guess drinking while chemo'ing would be alright, unless you got totally sloshed, and were raising 3 kinds of hell...  

    It is Smarty's birthday I think...  I remembered it yesterday, but I was too busy posting giant pictures of owls for Sass! 

    Okay, I'll send her a birthday notice from me and you!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXOXO

    Hi Insomniacs- slept better last night after a busy day. I hope everyone has a good day whatever life is bringing you today!

    Two to three drinks a week is what has been recommended to me. I love my wine and do miss it sometimes, but mostly now just have it when I am out for special occasions. I had some blood sugar issues for awhile (better now), so I pretty much stopped drinking for a few months all together. There is some suggestions that drinking alchohol raises risk of reoccurrence. Anyone here who has a question about alchohol can talk to their MO about it.
