    Nettie, glad you like this thread!  We're all a little nuts.... well I mean just a few are, but we have fun pretending we belong...Ha! 

    Yes, I love fresh eggs also!  I went to visit the chicken gal next door, and she had let the "girls" roam the yard, so when a few of them saw me coming, they ran over, and I broke off a piece of cookie I had taken for the 2 little girls, and they ate it right out of my hand!   I didn't know they would be "tame" like that! 

    CammiMasterChef!  Oh?  So I add Ramen noodles to my SOUP??  YOU who are ITALIAN would say that???  Oh, so do you use ketchup to make your spaghetti sauce?  Someone said you did....  so I was just wondering.  You know what is good?

    DD told me this.... Just go buy a jar of Ragu TRADITIONAL spaghetti sauce, and add it to 1/2 # of fried, browned chopped Italian Sausage...  Add about 1/2 jar of water.... And I add about 1 T of dried sweet Basil, Oregano, and chopped dehydrated garlic...!!!!!  Cammi..... "dehydrated" means dried....  just thought I would add that....YOU, the ITALIAN one, could add FRESH chopped garlic...  Garlic is the bread of life for you folks...... So I know you have plenty of it...  Cammi probably adds garlic to her cereal..... 

    Dutchess!  I told you, if you snicker at her, she will just fuel up, and get even worse!   I didn't watch the Voice last night, I watched Dancing with the Stars!  The judges on the Voice just crack me up!  They are so good together!   But did any of you see the gal with no legs dancing?  Oh man, it just made me feel so sad!  I mean watching her with her "new feet" being twirled around by Derek, was just amazing!  And her DAD???  Oh wow!  Such a heart-felt story!   But what a powerful story!

    That was such a kick, about the Duck and the Swan!  Did you just make that up?   Swans are just like Chickens you know... So are ducks.  Only you can't catch chickens swimming.

    A Pee test?  For the Camster?  Just do it at home in a Tupperware, and take it in.  Same thing.  Maybe they are looking for some sign of a disruption in your inner area...  and they can fix it.  DON'T CANCEL THAT APPOINTMENT!!!  You have been known to DO that!

    Flatsy, glad you came over here!   Hope we don't scare you...  See, I'm one of the older ones, so that means these young gals are afraid to mess with me, and I can say anything I want...Ha!  Me and Cammi...   Well, your breast cancer sounds under control...  Now we have to work on your other stuff...  Can you give those folks another call?  And ask them what is the hold-up?  Tell them you are in dire straights....  I've heard that somewhere...

    Your family sounds beautiful!  And your baby GIRL!   Yes, a miracle baby!    So your name says it.....  Be not only "flat" but FAB!!!!!

    Ziggypop(Lil-shit)  Yes, that video was beautiful....  Makes us think about how much we have to be thankful for.... 

    Oh Teka!  YES!  April Fools' Day!  ...  And that cartoon was hysterical!  I sent it to my Daughter's! 

    Morning 2nd!  Everyone else must be sleeping!   Hope you rested well last night....

    Yes, where IS 444444444444?  Probably baking 5,000 cookies for someone!  Love you guys! xoxoxo

    Good Morning all.

    Oh Chevy I like that black cat-fuuunny. And Yes there is a cereal called garcereal for Italians--very healthy and u don't have to be around people--u know I like that part.

    U know Chevy years ago u could just drop off u'r pee, now u have to go I swear there is a camra in there to make sure it's u'r pee and u get this stupid thing to pee in--It was easier at home.

    OK Today is April Fools day and I didn't get a picture printed, but we all know we're fools so let's just take it for granted that today we all get honored.

    I hope everyone has a decent day and feels good. and it got colder out

    Hi owlettes. Just a quick update. Had an appt.  with a specialist yesterday who didn't leave me feeling too positive. Wants me to have whole head radiation, and I'm already scared of the gamma knife which is one day radiation.

    Lots of critical decisions to make and not strong enough to make them. Keep praying for a sign to tell me what to do, but so far no one's listening. Or more likely I'm not listening.

    In Philadelphia yesterday got stuck behind a stripper bus. Pretty sure I saw Chevy, cammi, and ziggy twirling the poles. Those girls just have too much energy.

    Ha!  I'm on page 368 and don't stand a chance of catching up!

    Just wanted to pop in and say Hello!  I was thrilled to see good scan and test results lately!  I hope all is well with everyone.

    I will ketchup and be back later.  Spring break for 4's Four, so keeping busy.

    Have a beautiful and blessed day.  I'm clueless about anything else!

    Editing for FBB...big prayers!  The decision making part is tough. You will figure out what's best for YOU. Hugs and more prayers...

    Bluebird how do they really expect u to make so many decisions when u just had extreme surgery. This is so important for u. Are u talking to other Drs. and what about u'r family. This isn't something not everyone is familiar with either. There must be a couple of Drs. there that will have the options of what would be the best for u. I'll make sure  special prayer to guide u in u'r decision. And sometimes there is a deep feeling inside of u that gives you an answer so be aware of that. (((HUGS)))

    Sorry u got caught behind our bus, but some of us still practice Chevy not o much, she's been doing this so long she can do it with a broken hip.

    Good Morning all, rainy & cool here

    Bluebird, happy to see your humor is still in tack..wish there were words to ease your mind, do you have a Dr. that you trust ? We are all supporting you & sending love...

    4sewwhat...kids on  spring break, it was what I looked forward to every year. We always took our big family vacation on spring break, as I wanted out if the cold. Best family memories. 

    Shellshine, good to see ya pop in. 

    Chevster, that video was amazing...made me want to move...

    Cami, Did you pee in the cup? Kinda makes ya feel like a felon, huh. 

    I have my ultra sound in a few hours...no big deal, but I do not want to go, see little Camster has rubbed off on me. Plus, I am no longer worried about that stowaway node. I had a tantrum about it during radiation, so RO scheduled it. Now, I think it's a waste of $.....

    BBL...

    Hi everyone-----hello newbies Flat and Nettie,,,,,,, and oldie Shellshine dropping in :)

    I caught up on reading in the middle of the night, So, that means I've forgotten most everything by now. Love all the cat and dog pics and talk. 

    DBF's court case on child support is tomorrow. This thyroid decreasing sucks......talk about brain fog, and feel like I have sandbags on every body part. How much is related to the stress and how much is related to thyroid, I'll know after case over. 

     May not see me for a couple of days, or if I throw my hands in the air and say cluckit---you'll see me back.

    Nettie most men when they get sick are so much of a baby, it's laughable--no one is ever sicker than them.

And Hole see what I mean about tests, every time they wat to take one, I'm tired just thinking about it and I do have mre radiation than the nuclear radiation center. Which I know I have mentioned that u u add certain things together in nuclear med u can make a bomb--so this is what goes into us a lot. Just so u know.

    Thanks for all the wonderful comments. My  doc appointment is April 9. Have not figured out how to post pics here yet!! Chevy not sure who you wanted me to call,  if you mean the section 8 waiting list it can take 2-3 YEARS here in SC. I read on one of the web md sites that colon polyps and low vitamin d go hand-n-hand. Anyone heard about this?

    Flat, Hadn't heard it about colon polyps, but it's related to breast cancer so that would make sense. I know a lot of people here tested low and have been given prescription vit D to get their levels up. Mine was low normal, but I started taking 1,000 per day in addition to what's in my calcium, and got it up to 80. I was amazed it was normal since I avoid the sun. I've had skin cancer on my face and burn in 15 minutes.

    Flatsy....  I think I meant for you to call anyone that you have called before, like SS?  Are you old enough to ask AARP if they have referral numbers for you to call for temporary help?    I mean if you could even call your local senior center, or even a woman's shelter with your questions?  I was just trying to think of what I would do in that situation....   

    Do they have local food banks in SC?  I know they do here....  Even women that have no-where else to go, can go to the Treasure Trunk here, and pick out anything they need, at no charge... It is a thrift shop for everyone else, but we donate everything to them....    Would your local Police Department have any other answers for you?  

    Now if this was Phyllidink, with the ankle bracelet, they would KEEP her there, if they heard from her!  Ha, ha!

    I qualify for food stamps and go to a food bank once a month. I have Medicare/Medicaid so most of my medical bills are covered and presciptions. I know where to get help with my electrical bill and I am blessed to have a roof over my head. I am able to pay my rent but it is almost 2/3 of my disability check so section 8 would really help. The financial impact is that all my credit cards in colllections and one is taking me to court. My credit is shot and it will just take awhile for me to qualify for any kind of loan and credit for awhile that is what I meant with the long term financial issues. Don't get me wrong I am truley thankful I have food on my table, kept the power on and a roof over my head. When I  first diagnosed I found a place for free wigs, hats, ensure drinks, gas card for radiation treatment. I was turned down the first time I applied for Medicaid and appealed the decision. The same with disabilty appealed twice and went to court to get approved. I go to Salvation army and thrift store for clothes and household items. Also go to yard sales and flea markets and have gotten a table at flea market and  sold alot of my things since I had to downsize.

    Flat I'm glad u did as much as u did do, good for u, bt it must have taken a lot out of u to keep up with all these rules. Have u tried bankruptcy?  I know there's a lot of work involved with that too, but it's just a thought.

    Cami I have checked into bankrupty and it cost alot to file. It is crazy I know. The statue of limitations ran out on all of my credit cards here in sc except the one that is suing me in court. So they can try to collect but they can not take me to court.

    Holeinone great news Happy

    aly asthma is scary ,my jungest son had it when he was little and then he just grew out of it.
