Dunes, the blueberries make your dessert cancer-fighting.  No worries. I am hungry for apple bars like Hubby's grandma would have her housekeeper make for us everytime we drove out to PA.  I have the recipe.  Now to find organic apples, will work it out with maple syrup and stevia etc, glutern free flours, I can do this.

RiderGirl, have the store bring those jeans to you.  Hope you found some and had a decent day anyway.

If I left all the typos that result, you would understand why I am going to throw this keyboard out the window.

Anyway -

Ducky, that is very special for him to take them off the shelves for you.  haha, you simply must takea stroll down main street at the mall or ton and hit all the stores about something  I bet you would end up on the local news or a you tube video.

Fuzzy? Whatcha been doing?  Painting your fingers again?

Am supposed to be sleeping but had to pay billsand order some stuff for protocol.  And from my craigslist ad to sell a door I got two porno emails just because I answered one little question.  So off on tangent to report the basturb but hotmail is microsot and they are not easyto get into. bleh.  I need the gumption of ducky and granny.  I know I am done w craigslist.  Will just use ebay, it is safer.

Later

LoveEssa.....your eyes are getting veeeeeery sleeping...listen to my voice....when I count to three, you will be fast asleep...a one.....a two.....a three....

How'd I do? First time working my hypnosis skills....

chabba

fuzzy, try your magic on me please.  I'm very tired but a bit wired and not sleepy. Just took a melatonin and am heading for bed.  Just hope it works but I bet you can help.  

Thanks for establishing this Room.  It is definitely one of my most favorite and you are the one that makes it so.  And you have gathered such a wonderful group of women, all of us here with troubles and pain of both body and spirit but lending support and giving love to each other.  Thank You!

MamaV

Hello dear Romper Room sisters.  I just want to pipe up and give hugs and love to all.  I'm having a crappy day and just feel like saying so.  Blah blah blah should be happy to be alive and that I beat BC, but sometimes I wonder, beat it for what?  To do the 9-5 grind (in my case it's 7:30-4 actually), but you get what I mean?  There's just gotta be something more than this.  I don't have time to go on and on, but here's a quick snippet ... hubby needs shoulder surgery (probably both shoulders) - we can't afford him to be off work for long, good friend diagnosed with ovarian cancer last week, good friend got in an accident and totalled her car Sat night (she's ok, but a mess considering she filed for divorce 3 days prior), took my MIL to dinner last night (she's 85 and is down to 80 pounds) and the dimensia was evident.  She will not give up her 3000 square foot house - lives by herself with a bull dog, who shits in the house.  Ok - forget it, I'm not going on and on, there's more but it doesn't need to be written all down ... you all know how I feel.  Sometimes things just suck.

Thanks fuzzy. Can I just echo what Chabba said? You really are the sweetest. Thank you for letting me get to know you and about this wonderful thread. No bullshit, no divisiveness, no segregation.

Vicky, I hope things look better tomorrow. Beat it for what? Because hubby, friends and MIL all need you.

Hugs to all.

thefuzzylemon

Oh my gosh. You all are so sweet. Chabba, Gracie....we are all one. I love you. I need you. I feel it. Thank you for being here, being who you are and sharing your greatness with me.

Mama-i feel like there's a lot more to what you are saying. Can you get a vacation? Get out of reality for a bit? It does suck sometimes. I'm a big fan of rolling the dice on occasion and seeing where it goes. Big hug for you Today. Go home "sick". Take the day off. Fuzzy says so.

Tonight....I will extend my hypnosis skills to the whole room!! LOL

duckyb1

I'm in Fuzzster............I need hypnosis for my "fat ass"............think you can do it for me. lol..............we could not do it without you..........you make us laugh, and sometimes cry..............we love you.

Hey Fuzzy - could you try to use some of your magic for me today? I need to get my kitchen back in order. Its a nightmare in there. I could also use some of your magic tonight too. I can't sleep either. 

Nothing new to report. The breast looks better when I am on the antibiotics and warm compresses. My stomach is queasy and I don't feel like eating. 

I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Gina1 - so good to see you here, and you got that right and you know exactly what I mean.  It is such a releif to have a haven like this. I have pm'd you too.

Fuzzy - I too appreciate the time you devote to this thread, even on your rough days.  It is an easy placeto be even when all the shit hits the wall for everyone.  And you hypnosis helped I think.  HAHAHA I went to bed at 2:30 I think.  Before going to bed I decided to do Bowen therapy again for Danny Boy, he hurt his neck.  I decided to use a feather for the first time ever on the animals.   He did not like the feather, kept looking at it sideways and walking away, damn dog.  So I went to bed w the feather and did Bowen in the air while imagining his body for I don't know, two hours, kept falling asleep I think.  But between move sections I have to wait two to 10 min anyway, would wake up and do another.   It wold have been 40 min otherwise.

Went to PO w Hubby and coffee and now working while he sleeps after midnights.  I will go to bed on time tonight.  

MamaV - I have been there with the questions.  I know we have to find the beauty of single moments, right now, for me, I have Pandora singing to me some music I really like while I work at a job I love and write some messages to people in my bco community.  There's nothing extraordinary, it just feels good, for once.  There have been months thogh, not so much.  A few weeks ago I had a 'dream' that changed my everyhing.  Still takes the breath out of me.  I realized that with moments like that when one's heart is broken, there ar those minutes, hours, days when you can think you are no goo for no one who loves and needs you, nothing at all.  I had to HAD TO find the reason.    Found two them, to get as far as I can thorough bc on my own terms in my choices for healing...... and doing what I love to the last breath, promised myself.

Ladies - MOVIE NIGHT SUGGESTIONS ABOUT LIFE

For a movie with a message, Into the Wild.  Depressing, maybe totally.  But this brings to the forefront the questions we do ask.  What for?  Why still here and struggling?  The answer, for me, is not about who loves me but what I love, awhat I am made for. 

A kick in the pants about accepting and appreciating one's life is in the movie THE CHANGE-UP.  If you don't mind some light raunch and a movie that is actually LOL for most, this is it.   The best part is in the middle when they try to tell her.  The hardest part for me was the beginning, if you get past the first 10 minutes, you're in.  Hubby and I laughed and laughed, and I never laugh at comedies.  It got two stars, but I really liked this one.

Let's share movies we loved  the sad, ridiculous, funny, ones that changed you forever.  Let's try to watch as many as we can for whatever our individual reasons.  I have so many but those are my two for the moment, though I watched Into the Wild a few years ago, I did just hear the soundtrack so reminded me.

((((MamaV))). So sorry that your day is not going well for you... Hope things will look up for you real soon.....



((((hugs)))) to all...



I actually got some good news today. I have been out of work since December 2010 when I was diagnosed with BC. I had every intention of going back to work after i was done with chemo but ended up in April of 2011 in hospital with blood clots which led to a fashiotomy and now my right foot is numb and hurts most of the time.. I have a hard time walking... The good news is I applied for disability in June of this year and found out today that I was approved. Now don't get me wrong, I would rather be out there working and feeling "normal"... I was so surprised as you usually get turned down and have to hire a lawyer to get disability. Whatever the reason I am so glad I did not have to hire a lawyer to get it... I am just glad to have some good news for once!!!!

thanks Sis....love you too.........................

Crog, Congratulations on getting disability! I used to think they acted like the money would come out of their personal pockets. For mental health, it seems to be 2 turn downs, then a lawyer and they get it.

crog234

Thanks Wren. I have a friend who has PTSD and she got turned down twice and then hired a lawyer and got it.. She also had breast cancer... I just assumed everyone got turned down at least once and had to hire a lawyer..... So glad I was wrong!!!!



Cindy

WHOOOOHOOOOOOOO CROG!!!! One for the good gals!!!!  I am so so very very happy happy for you!!! 

It's just really wonderful that we all collect here.  I can't wrap my head around it belonging to one person...it wouldn't be what it is without everyone here.  I was just fortunate enough to have the most wonderful people in the world come here and make it theirs. 

I'm so in a funk right now.  It's a weird sorta thing.  My DH didn't go to work today and I just want to kick him in the ass.  I think he may have some jealousy that I'm not working.  Now, this doesn't surpise me as I have known him for a long time...doesn't make it less irritating...and he's the only one making an income...I dunno.  And...maybe this is a little too much...but I really have no interest in being intimate - at all.  So add that to me being irritated and it's just a weird funk.  I want reconstruction so bad.  Ugh.

Mama...honey...how you doing?  Nancy my dear...what cha up to?

GG....XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX  how are the meds doing? 

Movies....oh yes....I have to stay away from tear jerkers...I was totally sobbing at the New Jersey mom who talks to people who have crossed over...I'm a pile of mush.  But, I have watched the movie PAUL at least 5 times.  It is obnoxious (it's about an alien named Paul and he swears a lot) and I laugh out loud every time I watch it...oh, and Bridesmaids - tacky but really funny.  Then there's Bronx Tale - oh I like that one...all mobster and shit.  I'm such a dork....George of the Jungle (only for the lead male role, really)...

I'll be Hocus Pocusing everybody tonight!  La-La Land for everyone!!  And, just for giggles...everybody better be nice to my sisters this week...I can't be held responsible for the consequesces if they're not!!  Sprinkiling fairydust...sprinkling fairydust....BAM!   Special dust for Veggy....the kind that doesn't need to be cleaned up!!

Thanks for the cheering up all.  I'm feeling a little better tonight.  Sometimes we just have to let ourselves have a pity party once in a while.  I have a wonderful life and am blessed to be given the gift of waking up every day.  Doesn't mean I can't be grumpy I guess.  Just feeling like I'm in a funk.  I'll be better after this week - DH has been working 16 hour days (11pm - 3pm) and then is sleeping so I haven't seen much of him for the past 2 weeks.  Luckily he's done with that after Thursday and we can see each other again.  He's my BFF as much as my DH and I miss him.  I'm always grumpy when we don't see each other much.  Plus my stupid thyroid levels are off and that always messes me up.

Anyway - it's a beautiful night - ha ha - it's pouring rain, but Monday is over and that means we are one more day closer to the weekend.  Thanks all for being my support!

Love and hugs,

Vicky

Will be.raining here by morning then i think. The funk thing just sucks, sometimes cant even say why exactly just feel down. Anyway ladies finally started my effexor tonighy after staring at the bottle for a week. Lets see what that does. Funny i had a harder time starting that than the tami, just seemed more -optional- i guess.

HUGS to MamaV and all other sufferers who are lost in their sadnesses.  So, I shall tell a few things halfway amusing.

Today I am supposed to take the car in, at 8:00 a.m.  So, what do I do?  I wake up when I NEVER wake up, which was 8:30 a.m.  I stood in the kitchen for a couple minutes, fed the dog, and picked up the phone and told the car people I was late, perhaps there was another day I could come in?  Why yes, tomorrow would be fine.  And like an idiot I say I'll be there about 8 or 8:30 a.m.  WHAT WAS I THINKING?  I could have probably chosen 10 a.m.  Oh, well.  The MAIN thing is, on this blustery rainy horrible day, I DON'T HAVE TO GO NOWHERES!!!  And I worried about this for two days now.  Now I see how silly I was to worry. 

Then, you see, last nite I went to bed around 11 p.m., finished watching a fair movie "Very Loud and Fast" or something like that with Tom Hanks, and fell asleep on the bed as soon as I laid my head down, and when I woke up, the sun was coming thru the windows, and I thought that I really needed to roll over to the other side, my back was hurting, you know.  But BAM that's when I remembered the car needed operating on.  So, NOW, since I didn't get in any rollover time, even tho I'm free for the day, my back is KILLING me.  I just took my morning meds, tho, and that usually takes care of it, plus sitting in this fab chair with a big pillow in the small of my back, my legs up, and I do good.

But unlike you others, I don't have surgery or chemo coming up, I haven't lost any friends or relatives recently, altho the ones I've lost linger, and I'm not irritable, but VEGGY I jus gotta tell you this one.  I spotted your new avatar, and it reminded me of this glass paperweight I treasure.  I found it in an antique store or flea market ages and ages ago.  It's rectangular, and on the underside is a picture of Grant's Tomb you can see thru the top glass, and then floating in the clouds off to the side is a picture of Grant, cut out just like your avatar, most amusing and delightful.  I even left the price tag on it, a sticker that says $9- something like that.  HA!  Yes, Veggy, you are floating amongst the clouds in your new cut-out "look." 

I remember Woody Allen (the scoundrel) was in this documentary about him and the Asian girl going on a concert tour in Europe, and they were walking around in a very large hotel suite, and he explained to the camera that he had to have his own bathroom.  He goes, "I have to have lots of room to spread out all my creams and potions to achieve this look I have."  HOHOHO.  He's some kinda funny.

Let's see, I have been talking TOO long, but I wanted to get in on the fav movies thing.  Now, just a few hundred pages back, we all talked awhile about some fav movies, and believe it or not, for years I actually had a "Top Ten" movie list, which I sometimes changed from time to time, but it stayed kind of the same.  Now, these days, I cannot access my brain files (where the hell is that key???), but let me have a think, and I'll try a list.  Thinking............

Oh, there is a non-top ten that is a comedy, "What's Up Doc" with Barb Streisand, VERY funny slapstick, it goes on and on with hilarity.  Also, in case anyone is even remotely interested, I'm listening to Elvis right now, "Are You Lonesome Tonight."  Still thinking.... HOW ABOUT A TOP FIVE?  That's all i can think of right now.  Chinatown, The Natural, Tender Mercies, Black Stallion, Blackhawk Down.  Most are rather serious, but Black Stallion is rated G, as far as I know.  The Natural (Robert Redford, my man) isn't sad either.

Well, ladies, I'd take you along on more stories, but you'll have to wait until my book of fiction short stories comes out.  I posted one on James Frey's website (A Million Little Pieces) a few years ago, "The Way Old Men Walk," it was a very rough draft, but the book of stories will be entitled, "Ripple City."  So, look for it in a store near you, probably could get them done in maybe three years, if I'll just set my stooopid mind to it.  I've sort of finished two or three (can't remember), and I have maybe five pages done on another two, plus some character studies and research notes... and the MAIN story, Ripple City, is what my neighborhood was nicknamed when I was in college, and it's about Vietnam.  That story has been floating around in my head and rewritten several times, will bring a lot of baby boomers right straight back to hippie days.  WEll, bye bye for now!  Love always, Gail

Morning all.

Oh, movies.....my favourite past time. I watch very little tv, other than "Breaking Bad". I could go on forever about my favourites, but when all is said and done, my very favourite movie is "Gone Baby Gone". I could watch it over and over. Who knew Ben Affleck would be the most amazing director?

I usually don't go for the feel-good movies, but "Millions" is a special one. It's so heart-warming at the end.

...and romantic comedies....blech! I've never been able to sit through an entire one. If I watch one because there's nothing else, I usually end up falling asleep. I'm more into horror/thriller/drama. I love, love, love independant British and Australian movies, like Harry Brown, Fish Tank, Wolf Creek, Rogue. Kind of make a point of seeking out the quirky independants. Weird, I know.

Going to check out a movie today (think I might watch 28 Days Later, or Sunshine for the umpteenth time). I love seeing that Cillian Murphy guy on screen. He's just so cute! Or maybe something with Jude Law....yummy! The Alfie remake with him is pretty good. He looks sooooo sexy in a wife-beater.

Hugs to everyone going through a difficult time. Hope things are starting to look up.
