    hi all, Chabba, this may be gross, but if there's a male around who you can convince to pee, yes, pee, around the outside of your garden every now and then, most deer will stay away.

    we have deer, fat groundhogs, raccoons,and tough little squirrels who come right up on my deck to eat strawberries, or whatever they can.  you just can't scare them, i send my 5-year-old out with a pan and a spoon, for fun, or we throw ice cubes, but they ALWAYS come right back.

    Maybe it's the peanuts and sandwich ends we feed them, haha.

    Human pee isn't as effective as dog only I can't get the dog to pee on the steps to the deck.  We have a rose right beside the deck that the deer leave alone.  Yoyo marks the bush every time we take him out.  One time a client commented on the roses and asked how in the world I keep the deer away from the roses and I told him.  When he came back for his taxes he told me that since he had no dog he tried marking the roses himself and it didn't help.  Knowing him I actually believe he tried it.

    sure hope his roses are growing in the back yard!

    I'd been deck-gardening, this year i am going all out in the backyard, as everything on my deck gets eaten, anyway.

    I will have to fence, but am also researching natural ways to keep critters out.

    Or just plant enough for all...

    This reminds me of a fav and true story -

    A man decided he would have his dog pee around the perimeter of his property, then one day decided to join him and pee too.  They did this often, keeping deer at bay.  But one night the man had to crap.  Wife was inside asleep, so the man thought, wth and he crapped at the far edge of property in dark.  He was then peeing around the garden here and there, not noticing that his dog had gone bezerk, running in circles.  Then dog decided to roll in the man's crap - and he did.  Then the dog ran circles around the man and ran to the house to crash against the door and wake wife to show the wife the juicy new smell they had.  Man tackled dog before it woke wife, hauled dog to the water hose, but found that ineffective, so in his prized truck, he hauled dog to the car wash and sprayed all of them down with foam brush and rinse, man, dog and truck.

    I always warn hubby not to pee w the dog and remind him of this story.

    please do not crap around your gardens, as the neighbors may be unhappy.

    I mean, unless you feel like it, or you hate your neighbor.

    Hey hey hey!  Totally missed the grammy's ... but, I catch People magazine and a re-run of the red carpet!

    I'm kinda freaking out.  I have a mid year performance review tomorrow...big doctor appointments all week...several big projects underway with deadlines nearing...I'm weak...

    I had a mamo today and that was F'd up - they only do the good side?  I wanted to pee around their perimeter alright...I said "please" just take a pic of the other side...nope.  No point.  No breast tissue.  Dang it.  Showed a bright white spot but she brought me off the ceiling with that one.  So glad I asked or I would have been pissing myself for sure.

    Got some biggies during the rest of this week too.  Terrified about a lot of things.  Belly is not happy with me being all worked up.  Sigh. 

    What is the MUGA?  I can't eat or drink for four hours and I can't remember what that one is like. 

    Any thoughts from my Romper sisters?

    DR Sheila is here.

    I had Muga test twice one before the A/C chemo and another one mid Herceptin.

    I can't explain in medical words but it's done to check your heart. sometimes that count whatever it's called can go low and they have to stop the chemo.

    Herceptin & A/C chemo is on the top of the list.

    Let me find a link for you fuzzy.

    that's the one, where they shoot you up with stuff, you lie very still in a concave sort of bed and they run some sort of scanner of sorts up and down, slowly.

    not painful, but for a stick, and i believe it comes pretty close over your face and head, slowly.  just close your eyes, and breathe deep.

    sheila..................I'm still taking Femara..................still taking it.........just considering trying the generic, but really don't want to..........................I might try 1 month when my Femara runs out..............I did get the ok, to continue with it....needed permission from my Dr. so the insurance company would approve it.........Medicaare isn't covering it this year without a special request from your onc................got that, but it will cost me $200 plus for a 90 day supply, so I might try t;he generic, but it it gives me a problem I will absolutely go back to the "brand"................problem is I hit the donut hole the last 3 months of the year, buying the brand, and then it cost $1,500 for a 90 day supply.................

    Bone scan tomorrow, full body.  Probably should be sleeping. 

    Hoping no one will drop the ball this time.  I will be hard to get along with if they don't do as requested by doc.

    Today is the day, I got the call to come back for a "redo" Mamm............today was the day I met my BS for the first time..................today this time last year was a lot of 1st's that changed my life..........Who can forget those words..........YOU HAVE CANCER..........I can still see myself sitting there is disbelief, and for so many days after thinking........"I am going to wake up from this bad dream", but it was not a dream, it was real, and I had to deal with it everyday.......I was consumed by it, and lost 15lbs in 1 week......................The commercial that says that exact same thing is the most honest commercial I have ever seen...............Probably the worst day of my life, except the day they said the same thing to my husband...................I feared cancer more then anything else in the world, and that is saying a lot.............had a mild heart attack, and was scared..........but not like I was of cancer. 

    Well it is 1 year since diagnosis, and almost 1 year till my surgery.............I am hopeful, but I never let my hopes get too high...........do I forget sometimes I have cancer, and I say "have" because I don't believe you are ever rid of cancer................I just believe you do the right things, pray a lot and with the help of God you might die of something else before cancer gets you again..........call me a pessimist, maybe I am, but if I don't look at it that way, and don't look over my shoulder, I might get "lax" at taking care of myself, and fighting this "beast" with everything available to me.............

    So far so good.....I know a year isn't much, but its 1 more year of life, which I am grateful for.............So I celebrate my one year...........Today is a good day.............I'm alive...........Wink

    i've been reading all of these posts....i'm ashamed of myself for my tears and long term  (14 yrs)depression over losing my sister.  i had a dbl mastectomy for a pre cancerous breast condition 6 weeks after my sis lost. my tears are not for myself, but i still feel so selfish. is it survivor's guilt?

    Dear bryannasis,

    Please try to be kind to yourself.  We all feel what we feel, and I am working on accepting what I feel without shame, I hope you can try to do that for yourself.  You are not selfish, you are human.  Xo

    Oh I am so glad I found this!!! I have been wanting to rant to someone but don't think it's fair to go off on someone who doesn't understand. I am 3 weeks post BMX with TEs and still laid up in bed for the most part. Most of it is pain and uncomfort, but I think there's some depression or feeling bad for myself peeking through. Everyone is saying "get out of bed. You should be doing more. Do some exercises. Don't cry". Really - don't cry???? Noe one of these people found out they had cancer and had their breasts removed all within a 4 month time frame. I still don't think I've come to terms with everything but I'm getting there...



    I cry but I can't explain to anyone why. It's nice to have a place to vent.



    Thanks, ladies, for listening. 💓

    thank you for your gentle words.  sis's bd just passed....it is always so freaking painful.  been on a crying jag for a few days now. her fear is still so palpable.  she was pregnant at diagnosis and left young children behind who are now young men.  wish i had words....strength...to go past  our loss.
