Hey oldie owlettes, and madhatters don't forget to keep our new owlettes.

Hi Guys I

m back on aromasin so sleep isn't in the picture like it was--chit. but I tried/

Dutch OK we're busy Mon, Tues and Wed===Thurs day we party again no matter what the results are.

Myra don't ever delete a post no matter what u say cuz if we all did that, there'd be no thread.

anita there is loads of ammo and after a wile u do get used to it (chemo) but sometimes u get in remission and u can just glide for a while, u just never stop seeing Drs. but u keep going. This is supposed to be a pep talk somehow it doesn't sound like one--but there's lots they can do.

And my pick for the day is tea but Long Island please----

So where is Chevy the tramp? I'm the Lady. 

ADJ

oh yes thank you for the pep talks.  My scans are just checking on my chemo.  On a happier note, my big sis is here from Chicagoland, checking on me, AND we get to play with my 7 week old granddaughter.

Anita

Myra, I agree with Cami.  Please don't delete your post.  There was nothing wrong with it.  You spent alot of time sharing your feelings, observations,  appreciation and empathy for loved ones.  esssss oh kay  Beautiful kiddo and momma too.  

dutchiris

Anita, have fun with that grandbaby.  My autocorrect tried to change the word grandbaby to handbag.  Babies are definitely more fun.  Sister are great too.  Mine went to all my appointments and helped me alot.

Chevyboy

Morning all!  So little Bluebirdfierclydefiant!  You changed your NAME!  And I took it upon myself to change it even further!  Ha, ha!  Keeps you on your toes that way....

That one Onc Doc needs a  few lessons on how to win friends and influence people...  Seems she has an attitude problem... We can take care of that for you.... just say the word.... okay?

Cammi has lots of connections... and probably so does this Vinnie Barbarino guy...  I mean NOW we have muscle in our midst!

And this Lilshit sounds almost NORMAL, I mean, talking about important stuff!  But HOPE does mean so much...  We all have to have "hope!"

Cammi is going on, talking like she knows what she is saying!  And DAMN!  She nailed it this time!  I mean about "every action in your body, has a "reaction" and that translates into everything we take for something ELSE, screws any other thing UP."    You got LOST in an office building?????  And then did a face-plant over a counter??   And what's a "cart?"  We have sooooooooo much to teach you! 

Sass wrote "conversely"..... aren't those shoes?  Is she talking about my hot-pink stiletto's?    And why do we have to talk about weight-gain?  When we get old enough, we just drop THAT subject....

Ziggerslilshit!  WHAT IS this with a tea-party stuff?  We've now surely totally completely "lost" it.    Is this something to do with some political insinuation?  or inclination?  But I LOVED tea-parties!  I had a picnic with my DD the other day.... Picnic with a movie in front of the TV watching Shirley Temple!  I thought I TOLD you this already!  No-one pays attention anymore........ sniff....

Morning Inspired!  Nice to see you... a new face.... a new beginning, Ha!  You must be a Doctor.... 

Smaarty, Yes, I will bring you some Coke, chocolate syrup, and lots of ice, and say to hell with the pain...  I'll help you... 

Oh?  Phyllidink heard "party" and thought it was one of HER kind that wound her up in the KLINK in the FIRST place!  Ha, ha!   She shows up with Big Alice?  Again?  Those two are just sort of rowdy, I think!

Thinking of you Tang....  Sheesh!  What next, right? 

And yes Maddy... Lilshit is right.... Sassy made us yell at her, so little Bluebird stood right up and went all Fierce on us, and let us know she was boss, again, so that's why whatever happened, HAPPENED!   And no you littleshit, I was NOT in jail....

See, what happened is.....  When we got home from shopping, and DH left, I promptly threw my cane to the wind, and went outdoors, because it was soooooo nice out,  and I cleaned stuff away from the North side of our house, and re-connected the hose, and drug it out front, and WATERED my lawn and tree!  SOMEone told me about my "roots" so I watered them!  THEN I moved a plant-stand across the flag-stone, to another place beside our garage, and swept all of that, and moved these planters to a better place, and made it look nice! 

THEN it all started to HURT like hell, so I gave that up, and rounded up my cane, and came in, and made a chocolate coke, and sat on the heating pad, and whined.   My fault.... Too much, too soon, too fast. 

Oh wait, I remember saying that once....  ...... 

Aren't those pretty glass vases BONGS????  You are going to get us ALL in trouble!!! 

4444444444!  Yes, you know I can't sit still for too long!  Gives you other gals something to talk about...Ha!  I need YOU to 'splain what I was doing, and WHY!    NO CAMMI, See, I just felt soooooo good, and it was nice out, and DH was NOT here to scold me, so I up and DID it!

Besides, I am better now.... Oh wait....  After SAS called, and scared the SHIT out of me, because I thought, "oh no, NOW what" I went to sleep and woke up, and the PAIN was driving me NUTS!  I got a cramp, or charlie-horse in "that" hip, and OMG, I couldn't fly out of bed FAST enough!  It hurt like a .... like a ..... I can't say it!  So I ran full-steam into the kitchen, took 2 Aleve, and sat there on the bed, and thought WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!   Okay, so I won't work so hard today.... unless it is nice out..... Pain is gone this morning.

So Phylli got a pass to take a trip with Big Alice?  I'd RUN if I were you  Littlegoats!  Those two are up to no good!    You SEE Debzy?  We are all nuts!  You can fit right in, if you like!   

Littledutch!  How did you know I drive a clutch?  Ha, ha!  It's still kind of hard on that clutch-leg.... but getting better.... I WANT another car, and I will GET one, some day! 

Myra....  It's okay..... we got it.....  and sometimes ya' just gotta let it out!  But don't delete!  Esssss okay~!

Morning Anita!  You WILL be done with chemo someday...  I said so!  LOVE the picture!

Cammi is the "lady"?  And I am the Tramp?  Yes.... I like that!  Tramps have more fun than normal people....

Have fun with the baby ADJ~!  I remember when my Grand-sons were mere tykes!  It was a beautiful time! 

Okay.... I should have taken up about a whole page by myself, by now!  Love you guys! xoxoxoxo

Oh wait..... Vinnie, are you still around?  We would like for you to hang with us girls, if you would like!  Only we would more than likely start teasing you too.... I mean just because you are a guy and all, doesn't stop us from  treating you like "one of the girls"......

Glad you're here Bluebird.  I hope it doesn't hurt when you laugh because ziggy and the girls are making us do alot of it.  Stay fierce lady!

vinniemyers

Chevyboy...

 TEASE ME? sweetheart I have been working in a tattoo shop for the past 25 years... I am over prepared for a bit of teasing but remember... I fire back!!! lol...

Bluebird...

 If you doc is saying things like that to you it sounds like time for a new doc! If as a doctor... that treats people everyday, he cannot show a little compassion or say nice things... BE A VERERINARIAN!!!  I don't mean to shout but that kind of thing drives me f-ing crazy!  I hope you are feeling better today and everyday... you deserve it ! And remember... I will be seeing you soon for some beautiful cherries on those cupcakes!!! And I know how to tattoo some seriously nice cherries!!!

 I have four ladies coming in today... six solid days of tattooing this week....41 women  in all... I hope to get to 50+ every week by the end of the year...seems hard to believe that there are that many ladies in need and that this is only the tip of the iceberg. VERY sad indeed!

 My sister is starting her fourth year BC free tomorrow...YAY!!!  She was not happy to hear that she will have to take the tamoxifen for an additional 5 years... she was hoping this would be her last year but now the doc is saying that 10 years is better... she wasn't too happy about that but as it stands now the tamox is her "breast friend" so keep on keeping on with it .... 

Off to the grind in a few... have a great day ladies... and bring on the teasing... I'm ready for it!

Teka

Good Morning!!

Teaaaaaaaaaaaa

Coffeeeeeeeeeeee

Chevyboy

Oh?  He called me "Sweetheart!"  that means he loves me more than the rest of you guys....  DON'T you Vinnie!    And are you telling Bluebird to become a Vegetarian?  Or a Librarian?  WTH?  Whatever!  I took Tamoxifen....  key word here is "took".....  SE's weren't all that bad, but something about that, and some gene I have, made me have a small "infarction" in my brain stem....(yes I have one) and so I lost my hearing.... but nothing a couple hearing aids couldn't fix...

So don't mess with me Vinnie Barbarino, cause I can HEAR you anyway....!  Sorry about your sister.... I'm going on 5 years out!  I don't mean out with YOU, but ..... oh never mind....   We'll have FUN with you!    And you almost said "f-----g"?  Oh yeah..... You fit right in!

Good morning owlettes, tea parties over. We are now on to Picasso.

Myra, blue wrote that she can see now so we can type regular, but thanks so much for doing it. It meant allot when I couldn't see too. Compazine heh. Phenergan took me out into a worm whole in the universe. just like in jodie foster's "Contact". 

Nice Hat debz, both a teacup and a hat, two for one very clever

Chevy, erhh that was the healing muscles, letting you know that even when DH's not aroung to scold ----they will. AND they get physical. Can you report them for domestic abuse. Wonder how the poor cops would handle the call. LOL

Vinnie glad you are staying, you need a place to be crazy. Let the teasing commence. "Full speed ahead"

Not sure what happened with my lovely reving up medicine. Sleep attacks very frequent.

Teka nice tea sets---------old and new

Good morning to everyone I didn't specifically say howdy too.

Dutch we will do something about the 2d6 testing, but must paint and sleep

Good morning crazies!  Man I miss coffee,  especially after 3 hrs of sleep, I'm pretty wired still from steroids yesterday so probably don't need it.

Feeling pretty good after taxol #4, 9 more left!!!!!  Woo!  Then let the wine flow!

My doc told me tamoxifen for life now... Unless recurrence then I'm onto mets, 30% in five for that...didn't even want to ask about 10 yrs, lol!!  Waevaaaaaa!

I missed a page in my marathon of reading so I think I will hook up the notification...ADD on chemo makes it confusing to use the bathroom.

I have been craving a spicy Bloody Mary with GG brought by my cabana boy sitting on the beach....ahhhhhh!

My husband and his nephew busted up in my bedroom this morning with all this camera equipment and the toddler...he has been trying to get a tv reality or talk show for the last year so now that peeps are noticing a little he wants to video everything...funny silly guy that man!!

Ok, off to kick my dd out to a play date, gotta keep her busy!  Wish I had a squishy cuddly 7 weeker to chill with, enjoy!!! 

Feel great today everyone!  Even Vinnie!!

I must get everything done for phyllywtihthebraceletsvisit--new bed for me and DBF. She gets the old beds, choice between soft and firm. I prefer firm. Her beds will vibrate. The Bathroom ( 1 year, 2 month and 15 days) is almost back in commission. I keep changing the end point by adding stuff. Now it's crown molding. I'll be marblizing the crown mold so that will take a few extra days. Faux finish. Driving poor DBF crazy. The TV works and it's fun having one in the BR.

Cleared visit with local police.

Smaarty

Teka, that was sweet. (See you can be nice) just don't over do it!

Anita, don't know how you do it, but hang in here, these ladies are nice, crazy, funny as hell, and most seemed to have been there, done that.

Chevy, I WANT more!   Ooooh! Can you come do mine? Calif weather is much better than yours!

SAS, (why does my iPad always caps you??) love the new avatar. I found out January 2012 that I have diverticulitis from a scan done for gallstones. My pg at the time didn't mention to tell me. Also said it wasn't the gallstone that was hurting. Yeh right, the gallbladder came out 2 months later. Want to be grossed out? I have a pic of them.

Hi to the new guys. Ok, I have to get ready to leave for a quilting class. Talk tonight. I'll post a pic if it turns out ok.

Chevyboy

I always prefer "firm" myself....  AND vibrate?    You GO girl!

Yes, I did "Faux" finish in my Living/dining room!  I ragged the walls, and they came out beautiful!

Smaarty

forgot to say hi Vinnie. I'll talk to you later.

sassy dropping bombs, is that your bracelet?  Who has a bracelet?  Sounds like a pretty stressful event occurred...remodeling and new beds, I'm tired just thinking about all that!

sas-schatzi

Chevy hahahahah-wonndered who would get that in the middle of talking remodeling. I was betting on 44444444 hahahahah

MYRA------------bursting men into your bedroom with camera's. Good lord, how did Dh know you'd have something on. The next time he does that have one of those realistic blow up guys...have a camera ready for his response. LOLOLOL. Does a 7 weeker mean a new baby yes new babies in the morning breast feeding in bed laying by your side. Nothing sweeter. So, you have a toddler and DD How old?

Let's have a check on who's in active treatment. Myra, Smarrty, Tang, Blondie, Blue, Dutchy, debz, 4444444, maddy, Anita, Gardengumby, Hole-in1. ziggy. blessings.littlegoats, spookie, Squishy, Nicky, Teka , wren

missing a few newbies MinusTwo, Meremere, Jwoo & carren

Not in treatment Chevy,sas, cami, phylianklebraceletlawbreaker, Vinny

Will have to look back a few pages. But what is newly thought of is there are a bunch with kids. Shitty*^%%^&& you are going through cluccking BC. YAY you have someone to share with about your little ones and not so little. We all will enjoy your stories about the kids. Keep them coming.

Maybe pain med is making me loopy.

Smarrty--it's a wierd thing how many people loose their GB after a stressfull body experience.

luvmygoats

Loopy can be good. I need the housekeeping boot in the butt big time - How's that for alliteration for you English majors? I have at least put a goat coat for those cold weather goat chores in the washer. My fav. thrift store had coats 1/2 off the other day. WooHoo - too bad I couldn't find a nice one but honestly I wear the goaty one more than a good one.

On oh about 3rd cup of coffee. I just empty out what DH makes and then start on hot tea. Damp/ugly here but will not get enough rain to matter any.

Yes Phyllis and I are planning a jail break tomorrow on her way through west side of Metroplex though I do believe it is snowing in Neb. today.

I'm brilliant---sometimes LOLOL. I'm so proud of myself, I just have to brag. This tile I chose for the bathroom is Roca Carrera Suite Lines. It is like a raised bead board, but it's tile.  Costly, 12 x 36 inch, but charged 12 x 12 @7.20(8.60) square foot. 

When the guys put it up, they didn't catch that there were two pieces that the edge of the below tile was between 1/16 to - 1/8 inch further out than the above tile. The tile is manufactured marble so has shades of off white to darker gray. When they grouted with white grout, that  small space made it look like a straight white line for 18 inches right in the middle of the wall and 4 inches in another spot. The 4 inch spot was behind the door. 

What to do with the 18 inch horizontal line? Couldn't remove the piece. Apparently, risk of all other tile on wall could fail/loosen. I'm painting the white line. First coat is a light gray. It's reduced the whiteness of the grout by at least 50%. Will add one more coat. Then paint a darker gray on the top of each gray line. Is that cool or what. I'm so excited. The disappointment was really a big deal, guys didn't think it was anything. Guys!

Suite Lines Carrara Blanco 12X36

44444 was out getting her truck or she SO would have been there first!!!  Told you Chevy and I were a lot alike 

Chevy, You really need to be careful when you offer/threaten to TEASE a BOY.  I mean, Their brains work differrently you know!!!  And then you throw in firm and vibrating!!!! Vinnie is gonna think you are stalking him!

No Active treatment here, just my Tammy.  Right recon starting over though.  Hey, I should ask Vinnie about that and what he has seen on the fat grafting stuff for rads reversal!!  I'm about to go debandage and see how bad it really looks now that it is flat as a pancake.  Feeling like Wylie Cayote here.  Around the drain hurts and guaze is stuck, think that's the hurt.

I got the bunch of kids thing going on though!!

Spookiesmom

Um, I'm not in active treatment either. Just that damn pill. 

SAS do you still have my phone#?

When is Phyllos ETA?

myra104

not my 7 weeker!!  Someones grandbaby is visiting on here, i would just want a part time...okay like an hour with a newborn.  Omg that would be four, my DH will have to find another girl for that I'm fixed after 3rd (the toddler)...then DD is 6 and DS is 9.

Here they are:
