INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Laughing myself silly over these jokes, especially the seagull! Hubby looked at me as if I was looney!

Rose - I feel priviledged to have known you in this journey. Sassy gave a forwarding address LOL. Thank you Sassy. I'll be holding your hand in spirit. You're quite a lady. Sending, you peace, love and comfort. And big hugs! You are loved by so many here.

rosevalley--shit! What the hell?!? I don't understand how that happens! I'm so pissed...for so many reasons! You are an amazingly big woman. Ok that should make you laugh. I'm typing on my phone and that was what auto correct came out with! Holy shit! You are an amazing woman. There I said it! I have so enjoyed you and your posts. Your perspectives always appreciated. I am glad that this is going to be a short stay in hospice. I pray we all go quickly and pain free. I will think of you every time I see a flower now. People may think I'm whack talking and smiling at flowers. It's ok. I talk to goats too while thinking of Terri. Much love to you and your family. I will be holding y'all close to my heart.

Thought this may resonate with you and your family.

So, what's the joke about the seagull? Almonds, rice, coconuts? Where are the seagulls?

Looking for double rainbows for the warm & Fuzzies thread

 Can't believe this was in the mix, kind of an oh my  moment

For those that are newbies and those that are new. FierceBluebird was/is a part of us

Loveroflife

Wow!

funny rafting pic. Once when hubby and I were rafting...we were coming up to a couple rough water drops. I got off the edge of the raft in front to hunker down and paddle. Timing is everything as they say. I hit the bottom of the raft in a very athletic way, and very quickly, and catipoled my hubby right out of the raft, with paddle in hand. Yes I felt bad for my hubby in the water....butttt it's not easy to raft through rough waters and drops either . Ahhhhhhhh,the younger days.

Smaarty: looked like me this morning--fell asleep with one of those fiber gummies in my hand and woke up with it in bullseye position on my surgified breast. Must have been the Aquaphor.

(hope you're feeling at least diverted or amused, Rose? though I cannot claim any real responsibility for that if you are)

Rose: first "met" you in Terri's thread. Enjoyed your posts and admired your generous love to your adopted children. Hope you are pain free and with peace. Love to you!

Love the picture sas, just beautiful!

Smarty - nice nipples . I hope you like them. You went with nude color? Thinking my next ones will be dark black. Keep em guessing come wet T-shirt time

loverly. - lol I mean why have them if I don't show them,right ? Now if I could just get something to fill out my butt. I've always had "back...as in baby's got back" but when I lost so much weight my butt disappeared. Thinking about getting one of those toilet training seats so I won't fall in. OK. Maybe that part is not true but hoping rose got a laugh from the mental pic.

Rose - Been trying to think of something funny.hmmm. here's my best shot:

Two 5 year olds were in a hospital room awaiting surgery. Timmy asked joey, " what are you here for? ". Joey says " I am having my tonsils out". Timmy replied " I had that done last year , was very easy I got to eat all the ice cream I wanted ". Joey asks " what are you here for ?" Timmy says "I am getting circumcised" . Joey says " oh no! I had that done when I was born. I couldn't walk for a year! "

Hootie hoo

PattyPeppermint

sas. 901 pages. Wow. Can't even begin to guess how many people have been helped. You rock

Chevy. - of course, we would just fall apart without your banter to keep us interested

OK old timers ( not age just those who have been on IT awhile). Who made our contact list ? I know 2nd ( Maddy) was going to be a 2nd in command so to speak but I can't remember who started it. I remember her bf got in a horrible motorcycle wreck and his mom committed suicide. Sound familiar ,? Think it was right about the time we lost our beloved fierce blue bird.

Hugs to all

Hootie hoo

PattyPeppermint

sas - several pages back I think you listed 10 of us that have been together over a year. Wow. That rocks !!! I see you started IT in 2011. Can you say ( without a lot of research) who has hung with you the longest ? My guess is Chevy. I also seen Jwoo,on your list. That's got me thinking jwoo made the contact list ????

PattyPeppermint

ok def feeling better : ChattyPatty back in action.

Rose : my ds1 says his favorite pick up lines Will be: A man says. Hey I am wasted but this condom in my pocket doesn't have to be. Or. Is your dad a military general because when you walked by my privates snapped to ATTN.

OK my humour is obviously lame and it sounds like I need to have another talk about respecting women to my 13 year old. Very happy that as of now he feels totally comfy talking to dh and I about EVERYTHING. Sometimes his questions embarrass me terribly but I want to keep the lines of communication open. I never had that with my parents.

sas-schatzi

Patty, I know all of us have been blessed to find each other.  Please, ChattyPatty,  ittty bit to me. Those that choose to be here find a reason. What's the line? If you build it they will come? What's the topic box say. A safe place. Lot's of laughing. AND we have Chevy

The person you are trying to remember is Jwoo. Our sweet Jwoo. Tooo much in a short time. Not good. Been there. Sucks. Sucks.

sas-schatzi

Patty, YES, Chevy and I go back to our previous days on STFU. Plus, Spookie, LMG, Oh goodness I can't see the list. But it's a good list.

All over the world has been my world here(BCO)..............(sleep attack)

RonnieKay

Ok Rose...I'm giving my 2cents worth, which would be worth a lot more if I could sell some of my dilaudids & oxycontins along with your ibrance!  So...  I've missed you already... guess leaving D & D was a slow, not so gentle way of not seeing, hearing you, and I did not like that...not one bit.  But...thanks to Sas, you are found & we are coming :-). Ugh...last year, when I told my onc that Anacortes Girl posted...and was gone 2 weeks later, she said that's how it'd be....I'd be fine...and then I'd die...how's that for bedside manner!  We've seen it happen way too much...and it doesn't get easier to accept.  Your saying it's what we do is true...and you've made us all look at this time in life with open eyes!  I'm sending my love from up the road...and I really can be there in 3 hours if you just say the word :-).    XOXO

Spookiesmom

Yes, STFU and Cure for Stupid. Then some general unpleasantness for ME, and I left there and came here. Much better!! Have met several from here in person, Loverely is next.

Spookiesmom

Sas, are you getting this rain?? Quack quack. Between 3-6 inches around here today. More to come, possible storm on your side.

MarlanaB

Spookie--I see you finally started to take your weather back..thank you.

Sassy--that raft thing is funny and I've done that exact thing except I didn't land back in the raft and I landed in a class IV rapid called "Pinball" on the Kern River...I was the pinball!

Loverly--the juice straight? Bleh. Mixed half and half with Crystal Light Pure, not so bad. It might also mix well with a margarita. If only I were drinking....sigh.

Rosevalley

You all make me smile.. love it. Now who is this fierce blue bird? Did she pass? You talk about her in the past tense.

Hi Ronnie- good to see you! I just figured D&D needed healing time and my presence brought out the conflict and can't have that. The thread serves many women not only me. I can do just a little drama but not for long.. too tiring and icky. I hope D&D heals (ironic..healing on a death and dying thread) and some folks stay off and others continue to explore their feelings openly.. fears too. I learned a lot listening to folks explore their feelings, share comments, thoughts, issues and emotions. Hope it continues.

Patty your sons make me laugh.. the one liners! I have prissy girls and grew up with nothing but brothers. what a difference in lifestyles and issues. I hope you feel better. Good luck on the scans and the new treatment plan. I was blown away and sad that all the pressure and bloating was solid and not fluid. I have only gained 2 pounds and yet here is this big gut thing.. maybe it's my liver but they didn't say that. This is too weird to have happened so fast. oh well.

well my ambien is kicking in and my typing will slur.. gotta go. hugs to everyone. Hi chevy, Mags, Wren, Hi1, Woo, Sass, Spookie, Mamaray, Momof2, Jazzy, Susan, Diana, Cling- I loved terri's thread. Goat sightings and so much fun. I 'm missing folks.. ((hugs))

MarlanaB

Patty--my brother used to tell girls he was a gynecologist and offer them a free exam.

Good night, Rosie.

diana50

liking this thread. Would not have found it without the "tip" 😎😎Rosie was here👍🌹

I love each and every one of you. Compassionate and strong. I get scared when I seeyself failing; it happens so fast sometimes. The curves this disease throws knocks me and my people off their feet. I hate it. I'm reading to catch up.

️️Hugs Rosie. Big hugs from palm desert California. You have people from everywhere beside you. ❤️❤️❤️ And holding you close.

December

Where is every one on this I can't sleep thread? I think I might be new to this thread...but here it goes..cuz it 3am (can't remember the rest of the words)

Just wondering I'm 5 months post dx...boobs, lymph nodes, hair, all dead. 55. Anyone here just ever break down and sob for no apparent reason? Anyone here feel so ugly that you know you are the beast...and not even close to the beauty...just wondering...if I'm the only sissy, hate myself because I have to live, ......and, for the 1st time, out of words...but I don't need words if you get this....sorry, but this time of night, where do you go?

December

I'm a "newbie" takes my breath away......I'm anxious to meet her...in the waiting life.

mostlymom

welcome december - you will get a lot of response on this thread - it's my favorite. be gentle with yourself and allow tears to fall anytime. cancer is scary and it takes awhile to tame the beast. i've always been sympathetic and empathetic but find i am even more so since i was diagnosed.

MarlanaB

December--it is scary. At first, I had crying jags but mostly now it's when people in my life show me support I.e. anyone hugs me and I lose it. I'm only 3 and a half months into this crazy journey but the ladies on this thread share a common crazy, irreverent sense of humor (Loveroflife will try to convince you that she's the saneone!) and they have kept me truly sane. They are full of laughter and love. The humor helps a lot. I've started referring to myself as Uncle Fester, especially after each round of chemo when I get dark circles so deep around my eyes that I look like a raccoon. Humor has a way of lessening the power of the bad. So come on in, embrace the bald and feel beautiful!
