    Thank you Badger. I'm on the running 2014 thread.  I'm a stubborn cancer patient. My motto is "chemo won't win and cancer won't win today." It was hard for me to let my body rest to fight the flu. I have bad peripheral neuropathy, but I figure I will have to fight through it. I"m in pain if i sit or walk, so might as well start loosing that weight.

    It will all get better....  I'm just not used to hurting, and not moving....  glad you all are here...

    Thinking of you Enerva.... I'm sorry

    Oh?  I see a Farirydog?  I LOVE that name!!!  Are you real?  You are running?  Man!  If I could just WALK right now, I would be elated....!

    Thank you soooooo much Sass!  Glad I could talk to you and whine....  xoxoxoxo

    The picture is from Crestview FL north of Ft. Walton Beach and about 1/2 way to the Alabama border. Significantly west of Tallahassee. Snowon big island in Hawaii is not uncommon. We moved from Honolulu to El Paso in  Feb.1963 and parents had to send to the big island for antifreeze for their car.

    FairyDogMother - there is research that the bright lights of monitors and TV interfere with going to sleep. Worth a try. Some people it bothers not a bit and others sensitive to it. Are they fracking for gas up there? I see the earthquakes have moved to OK Guthrie area. We still have earthquake monitors out from SMU. Glad your client day went well.

    Chevy - good morning. Hope by now DH has been out and you have your pain med. Remember you ARE recovering from surgery major. No chicken sitting. You are to be waited on.

    Tang - just take one day at a time. Someone gave the advice and it's probably someone on here: I can make it thru the next five minutes. Wow - I did. Now I can make it thru 5 minutes more. Then as things get better make that a longer length of time. Make lists - put them everywhere esp. since you have a youngun. Did you get to enjoy some of this sun? I think warmer tomorrow and maybe some of this wind will die down.

    Tang - Maybe put a little Greek yogurt into those cheerios to bind them. Smoothies with it. Bland meat - chicken salad. Plain turkey. I remember in early preg. I ate deli turkey/white bread no condiments.

    Alyson - Yay for the stupendous news. NED is Good! Keep him around.

    Yes MNDeb - down for a pocket party on the 28th.

    Good morning Teka. More coffee needed here.

    sure thing, Teka, I have an extra cup handy.

    image

    I love coffee, I love tea
    I love the Java Jive and it loves me
    Coffee and tea and the java and me
    A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup 

    I love java, sweet and hot
    Whoops Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
    Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
    A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

    Oh slip me a slug from that wonderful mug
    And I'll cut a rug just snug in a jug
    A sliced up onion and a raw one
    Draw one -
    Waiter, waiter, percolator!  Happy

    Smarrty can't remember if I put the Replacements.com page link for your bubble glass by anchor hocking. It was easier to go back to replacement then to find it on our pages.

    http://www.replacements.com/webquote/AHCBUBR.htm

    Replacements.com was started years ago. It's a business with the intent to sell what they have to the public. What they have become though, is the biggest library of china , glass, silver, pewter, collectible bric brac. I use it as a major resource for identifying everything they track. It is the most current source also for pricing. Without them so much of our history in this regard would be lost.

    Pricing is relative. Value is established by sale price. I had 5 glasses in cobalt that I thrifted at the Spca for $10. I needed a 6th for the set. Found "one' On Ebay. I paid 23.95 for the one glass. So, the highest price for your bowl is $24. The highest sold I found was 34. What I like is to get something for a few bucks, then find it has a much higher price. Would I pay the higher price ---depends.

    If you can post some of your aunts other pieces that aren't Bubble. I would love to search them for you. it's a hobby

    What I found interesting is I have NEVER seen your pattern before. There are about 10 or so colors of it. It was produced for a very long time. Predictably, I should have seen it allot. Because there were so many colors and produced for several decades, it tells me it was a very good seller for them.

    Tang How are you? has friends or family come forward to help you and the baby? Try the local churches even if you aren't a memeber. Ask you insurance company for a Social Worker referral. They keep them on staff. They come to the house and review resources that may be available in all areas of need. Hugsand prayers. sassy

    LMG's don't know if it was me re: the 5minutes, but I did use the 10minutes --5 minutes when things would get sooo busy at work. When I'd say we can get through the next one minute, you know we were in choas LOL. Usually that was in ER. Glad not to be in that anymore, my adrenal glands aren't up to that anymore.

    LOL thanks Sassy, it's the Java Jive song.

    Here's a fun version by the Manhattan Transfer

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

    and here's the original version by the Ink Spots in 1941

    Two versions of my fav. coffee song #1 Frank Sinatra #2 Eydie Gorme. The Frankie one has the lyrics on it.

    Don't think I've ever heard the Java Jive before.

    Well, never got the extra coffee. Off to do that now. Have another puny goat - she's 10. But she's eating, don't know what her problem is. Last really puny one I had would not eat anything for several days. Not this one, will eat anything except her reg. grain/hay. Took her for walkies for dandelions, weeds and lovely dried leaves.

    Luvmygoats - Greek yogurt is a great suggestion. Protein is very important and Greek yogurt can have up to I believe it is...20g for some varieties. I had a smoothie this morning with unsweetened almond milk, protein powder (25g), and a greek yogurt. The shaker bottles work great for this. Super easy, inexpensive, and quick. I read somewhere that we should get 1/2 our weight in protein per day. :) Oh, and I love pocket parties...I'm in for the 28th! :)

    Hmmm, I used the ten minutes for getting through all my chemo.  Seems so long ago now, but it did keep me going very well.  I was not able ( just too icky most of the time ) to read here.....and just discovered it within myself because a couple of times.....going forward seemed too hard.  Of course, doing the ten minute thing kept me going  and I'm so grateful now.

    MNdeb---whats up on the 28th? 

    My thyroidectomy is scheduled for the 28th too. That thing with the polyurethane sensitivity, they already have a box labeled for me in the satelite facility. I'm guessing they have one in ER besides OR.

    Sas, 

    Will it be out patient? In and out in 6 hours? Is it a difficult recovery or long? Lots of friends on thyroid meds, but do not remember any one having it removed. 

    I think Deb might start rads on the 28th, not positive though...
