    Hello, I'm new here and found myself lurking since the steriods have me wired!  This looks like a fun board and then the Vinnie link completely sold me on messaging, very cool!!  My real fake tata's dont go in for another year though.  His work is phenomenal!

    Watching some Kimmel right now...has anyone seen Fallon's show?  Whatcha think?  How many of you have kiddos at home?  Whats been your toughest experience with them?

    I have 3 little ones and am always wanting to know different strategies for coping...I am curious how this may resonate with them as they grow older.

    Thanks!  Steph

    welcome Myra/Steph, 

    I bounce back & forth between Kimmel & Fallon. I like Kimmel style, very relaxed. Most of the ladies in our group are a little older, but several of the ladies that post have young children. 

    I have seen some of Vinnie work on another thread, it's impressive. I had a lumpectomy, so I am still solid, except for my name, Holeinone.....golf fantasy, one of the ladies thought it was a metaphor....No, l am not clever enough to think of that...

    Saturday 1:45am

    I wasn't able to public post this photo on the threads by clicking on the *mountain* in the triangle at the bottom of the page.

    I could public post photos Friday in the am by clicking on the *mountain* in the triangle.

    I had to try a new way to public post this photo to the threads.

    What a mess!!! Shocked

    AhHAH!  So "VINNIE"  IS a real person!  A "guy" in fact.... I just KNEW he was okay!  I mean anyone with a name like "Vinnie" HAS to be okay...  probably from the Hood, too!   Blessings, that is so good, that he is contacting you.... hope we didn't scare him off...  Maybe you should PM him, to make sure he knows you got his message.

    That's great that we can "talk" to others that can "help" us, or give further information, than what we can get here.... I mean I would LOVE to have our own dermatologist on board, or even an allergist!  I know we are not supposed to sell or promote anything, but since I don't know EVERYthing there is to know, it just helps to have someone with more knowledge than I, post.  How's THAT gals?  Shut up Cammi.... 

    I like both those guys GG...(golf-girl)....  (Hole-in-one)....  Do I HAVE to keep saying all those when I talk to you?  Ha, ha!  But I'm never usually away at that time...  Early bird here....  I mean to bed early, and up Waaaaay early.   But I DO wake up in the middle of the night, and watch TV sometimes....  I like the Spike channel, or I watch Cops, or those "Haul their butts to jail" shows.... 

    Yes, Good Morning Steph!  You guys, we have a new gal here, named "Steph"....  so you ones with kids, try and help her....  I know 444444444444 has a ton of kids, and is going through a LOT of treatment, so maybe she can help you also....I just know you will find these women can help you!    Looks like you are not "alone" raising these little kiddles....  I would just think, that your children are really worried about you..... and if this were me in your shoes, I would try and make them think, that everything is going to be alright....  even when YOU are down and depressed....  keep your kids close to you, but let them see the "fun" things in your life also......Maybe they don't have to hear the exact thing that is going on with you.... 

    You and your DH are all they know.... and they don't want to hear that one of you is "broken" or not feeling good....  They probably don't want to know all the details anyway...  just that you are going to be GOOD again, as soon as you get this treatment over with....  Your meds will make you think you are going bonkers...  But if you are really worried, about how you are feeling, TELL your Doctor...  maybe a change in meds is what would help?   Those meds will completely change the way you think....   And looks like your team is really fighting this aggressively.... and all that combination of "stuff" might throw your thinking for a loop.  Just don't worry....  We can just always be here, if you want to "talk"....  take care.... okay?

    Owlettes!! I am awake and still walking on the grassy side! I'm hoping to catch up with everyone's posts soon. Having some limited vision and hallucinations yet from the brain surgery. Oh wait, that's not a hallucination that's just cammi mad as hell she had to wait in the car. You're all in my pockets now and that's where I plan to keep you. I'll try to write more when I can but want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers and good thoughts and for finally beating the crap out of my medical team so they would give me pain meds! Long story.  But I'm home now and doing well and will continue to kick ass. 

    Love the bluebird avatars and pictures!  Wish I could have a big pajama party. 

    love you all! 

    Kristine

    just to let the rest of us INSOMNIACS know ...no offense was taken in any way... I never even considered it negative at all as I think posting ones opinion on boards like these is what they are all about. BLESSING20... I am glad to offer my opinion on the port issue... and thank you for your kind words about my art/work... it is awesome to be able to help any one that I can. Somehow God got me on this train and I am enjoying the ride in all its glory and sadness.

    Yay, BlueBird is back singing on her perch!

    Hi Vinnie, you were very kind and answered questions for me a while back too!  Bless you for your generosity, talent, and kindness you show the ladies that need you!

    I have read and read and have lots to address, but my DH just delivered my spinach omelette and fresh fruit!  Yes, I'm spoiled!

    BBL!

    bluebird, great that you're feeling better.

    Ok, I'm dense with the letters things! What's l, h & p stand for? Love, hate & patience? Laugh hard & piss? Love, heal, & party? Like that one. WHF! Got that one.

    Ok, yesterday DH got home and asked if I went somewhere. I said no, why? He said I was dressed! Yes, I put clothes on for no reason! I've been in pjs a lot. So he noticed. I'm trying to get back to "normal" and with the weather being nice (sorry ladies, sunny California), I'm putting my summer dresses back on. 

    Today, I'm working on another bridesmaid dress. Almost done, then only 2 left. Yeah!! This is the end of making wedding stuff. The 2 youngest GDs will just have to skip it. They're 12 & 8.

    Blubird we were all praying for u--Just rest and drink water and get waited on. (((HUGS)))

    Welcome Steph--Yes there are a few with kids and like Chevy said 4444 has a whole bunch and she's doing a great job. too.

    Tang I love 4 yr old little girls, they're so fun to do things with and so clever. I bet u looked great and if not u still had fun with u'r baby, So what do u care.

    See how nice Vinny is to come on here--that's a good guy that for at least a year I've heard about him. All Super too.

    Chevy we do have nurses that know more than u do, so we're lucky that way. U old hipster. OK my brother (who has a broken hip) is as goofy as u--he's not getting operated on til 3 weeks cux his grandson is getting married in 2 weeks--I talked to him yesterday and he drove and picked up their meds, went to the store, went out to dinner with friends--Goooofffy. He's having a hip replacement. He needs a new brain too, but that don't do that yet.

    OK I'm trying to catch up--was really busy yesterday with confusion and so far a little busy this morning.

    Smaarty - I think Sassy 'spained it one time a long time ago. Don't feel bad. I have to google lots of them. Lurk on eagle cams and they use SED when signing off chat. Took 4 diff. searches to turn up Sweet Eagle Dreams. Lol.

    Welcome "Home" little Bluebird!  So glad to have you back with us.... 

    And Vinnie.... seems like you have quite the reputation!  So glad you can help these gals! 

    Cammi, your Brother is either dense, or numb.... or maybe both!  Man, when I fell, and REALLY broke my hip, I could not MOVE it!  I could not even put my toe down on the ground!  It was cracked in half!  But not separated...  So tell your dumb brother, his is not really broke, just a little tender.  THAT should get him to the Doc's!   He should just probably put a band-aid on it, and go on about his business..... Not hard-headed at all, is he?    Man, he makes it sound like a broken hip is a walk in the park, under the cherry trees, with an ice-cream cone in hand.......He probably just bruised it......  Maybe I should just toss my cane....Ha!    I'm just teasing.....  sort of.....

    We just got stuck at Super Walmart!  Damnit!  DH's car would NOT start.... NOT that it is OLD  or anything!  It's an 89 Mercury Topaz...  !  It deserves a home in a lake somewhere.  But we have StateFarm Roadside assistance, so we called.  DD came to tote ME home, while DH waited for that Assistance guy....   I just felt so BAD leaving him there...  but 45 minutes later, the guy came, brought him and broken car home.  

    So we'll see how or IF DH can get this box  of nuts and bolts running.... I want to just get it out of here, give him MY car, and get another AUTOMATIC car, which I will drive.    Why is it Husbands do not ever want to get rid of anything of theirs, unless they absolutely HAVE to?  I mean clothes, shoes, cars or whatEVER!   Is it because they get older, and are afraid of not winding up with anything?  We can afford it....  It's like "things" are ingrained into their brains, or on their person!  And they can't stand to let something of theirs go!  I have to be smart about this....  I can't whine and complain about his car....  He has been driving us everywhere, and loves to do it, but I'm afraid to get in that ..... whatever it is.....  Maybe I could bribe someone to steal it....

    Chevster, an 89', that is old ! I think you, getting an automatic makes good sense. My car, which is an 09', was having battery issues for the last month. We got a new one, but don't ya just hate car issues?  

    Is DH a grease monkey....can he work on cars? My DH would have had it towed to the repair center or salvage yard....

    I need to get moving....I say that all the time....now I have that lost airplane mystery to solve, weird & sad

    Yes, he has always worked on our cars!  I just hope he can't "fix" this one....Winking  He thinks it is electrical.... It isn't the battery, because it keeps turning over....  I just KNOW he will work on it, but I'm going to kind of say, "Honey, let's just get another car, and you can have mine... (the 99 Chevy Prizm...)   I think he hates the hassle, but DD knows this guy, that she bought HER used car from, that will help us get a good deal....

    He has been a grease monkey, since before I even met him....  He even put a stick in the 57' Chevy we had.... and raced it!   These newer cars are not so easy to work on.  But that don't mean he won't try.... 

    Yes, I know!  That Airliner.... I thought a week ago, that SOMEone has flown it somewhere.... maybe even to another landing strip....  There were questions like why can't they use GPS to find where they are, with the passengers cell-phones....  But I don't know...  Hope it isn't the worst.....I know they will find out.... but it's just so sad.....

    Ok I'm back--and yes Chevy I told u my brother was stubborn--He saw the dr. and had tests it is broken-but he insists on waiting--I was laughing at him cuz I wanted to know what pain meds he was on (so I could take them) his arent' even as strong as mine-A$$--BTW both of my brothers are stubborn as mules--they take after my mom, and my sister and I (altho stubborn) not like them take after my dad. OK now for u'r car--an '89?? Wow it must have been well taken care of, maybe now it just wants to go, he's had enough. And it's stick? I forgot how to even drive stick--altho I love it. I can just imagine what else he keeps--Oh well on the bright side he kept you. So it's not all bad. But I'm glad u didn't wait for them and u'r DD brought u home.

    Hole are u talking about the news lost airplane or one u play with? Cuz if it's the news one it could have been hijacked and landed somewhere else--flying under the normal radar--so far I don't think they found any remains and I know pieces float up eventually. But I still think the whole plane should be made out of what the black box is made from, which is a lot of times red. But even bodies float up unless they're stomach is gutted to release air. OMG I watch to many crime shows,

    Spookie plan on an overnight or two--we aren't absolutely firm on dates. I even bought a new bed. Well, I needed to for 40 years. LOL it still in as new condition, but DH and I moved to a better bed, b/c it wasn't big enough for him, the dog and I. The bed went to the spare room. LONG story , but I just paid for and it's being delivered on the 24th. Ready for April. We'll figure where to put you. We will firm things up-----YUP you are included sweetie. If you can't stay here we will figure something out :)

    Tang sounds like a wonderful day with your daughter. A memory. I can never ever remember having a fun day like that at a young age with my mom. OH, cuz it was all so serious then. Fuck polio.

    HMMMMMMMMMM actually very good. Polio consummed our entire lives. My twin and i were 2 years 2months, and brother was 4 -1 month at onset, 1952. The rest of everything was predicated on polio. Don't remember fun things.  May have been some, but don't remember. So, these special fun moments are very important----besides fun :) 

    There is a thread Ma111's It's about Death and Dying. But the beauty of it that can be missed, is the things that women talk about as leaving for their children.

    May sound morbid, but these treasures are just what we would want to leave, make, design for our kids "even if we were normal". Lots of great ideas. I dropped out after about page 25.  Popped in as needed after that. But I know there were some very sweet ideas. Tang scan by-pass what you don't want, and pick up stuff that makes you happy. I'll bring the link :) sassy
