Chevy, candling's  done, my butt hurts and my legs are swollen, but unless someone can show where I screwed up(ha ha peer review), this shows how research is important. AND never assume anything.

I'm the one who called you guys wimpy about 10 pages ago - but I forget why. Maybe I should candle myself and see if that helps. Where do you put it again? 

Spookette I'm so sorry about what happened in the deli grocery. It probably was just stupidity and not intentional, but the employee that gave you the sick smile is an idiot.  And Phillistina, sorry to hear your counts are low. Crap you hoolies having chemo go through such hell, and with such grace and (in)dignity. You are amazing.

Now Nurse Sassette (rhymes with Crachette) is researching candling. Should be interesting. Sas- can I start teasing you  the way that Chevy does? It's a form of affection. 

Oh, and about the person who PM'd Sas about her medical findings - that was me in disguise.

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

I prefer not to have anyone seriously give anyone else a hard time, even to our visitors, for any reason. Giving a hard time unseriously is definately allowed - encouraged even. There are very few places where we have permission to be our crazy selves, where all of our offbeat personalities can manifest. I love that this is an irreverant place, where anything goes, silly, scared, tired, sore, frustrated, farted, funny, sad, fed up, STFU, and candled - anything except being unkind.

Chevette, the estrogen hand cream sounds ok to me. Use very sparingly on damp hands so it spreads easier- don't want  to absorb too much. Using estrogen cream (vaginally) releases lower blood serum levels than menopausal ovaries. I use it but not on my hands. Okay, TMI, if there is such a thing on this thread.

My interview went really well. I'm okay either way whether I get called back for the 2nd round of interviews.                      

Hope everyone enjoys some fireworks, chocolate cokes, hot dogs, root beer floats, or whatever lights your candle! ✨

Well Chickadedum that was a great welcome, boy would I want to stay after hearing about the wolves knawing at u'r bones. Good welcome for someone who hasn't started chemo yet.  At least we got u started slowly, but

With Phyloprisoner we knew she was tough so we told her straight out it was horrendous, she's used to that word.

BTW Chickie I'm really sorry u'r having a bad time, sometimes u get not so bad one but mostly they are, we know it's like u wish u were having a bad day--it would be much better. It;ll pass.

And who's leaving--again--no one is leaving and where is Chevy, the brat with the hands. I'm so brave when she's not around.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY to all you hooligans!

mostlymom

have to get my ^$%&*#$* whining out of the way....  went to an oncologist/obgyn today & will be neutered - ah, have a complete hysterectomy the 15th.  oh happy day - NOT.  it will be laparoscopic/Da Vinci procedure (had to look that one up).  it will be an overnight in the hospital & i'll probably be awake all night listening to an audio book as i can't relax in a hospital for some crazy reason (probably because of past experiences)....  not looking forward to it but will be glad to get it out of the way so i can go on to something else to worry about.  any night owls are welcome to come with me in spirit - i'll sneak in the m&ms - they won't melt.

Shellshine

Teka - have a good vacation and come back and hang with us anytime.

camillegal

I was so glad to hve it done, just not to have a period no other reason and it was an easy one--so that's good. Now mostly mom do u feel bad about it? If u do I am so sorry that it has to be done---and don't try to sleep in the bed-ask for a recliner it's much more comfortable and they put pads on it and u can read, doze off and relax muxh more than a hospital bed really--To me the beds are brutal and the chairs are so easy to get up from too and it doesn't really hurt, just uncomfortable----we're here for u.

camillegal

Bang, boom, crack---and gD wiping her little nose is so cute.

Phylocompletepill u sound pretty good today. Stil a good day.

Hey WTF everybody has Ice cream and u'r all skinny--I hate u all--figuratively And now that Blondie has her car and it stays light later vroom vroom--she'll be flying all over the place. I'm going to be alone taking care of my cat and dog for 4 days--no car--nothing. I really am not happy about this but they never go anywhere so they need to. I know--I could go to my other DD's on the 4th but let's face it no one will be sober enough to drive me home for the dog and I can't bring the dog--she has 2 cats, and a very dominating Dog--so and if I need something fast or whatever I have 2 nieces that live about 5-10 minutes from here.

Shellshine

Cami it's 4:30 am in Illinois - I just looked it up. Go back to sleep!!! Sheesh. I'll check in with you tomorrow, so you won't really be alone.

It's 11:30 pm here. Goin to bed. Goodnight!

Chevyboy

GrammieFoley...I just hope you are feeling better today...  When you are really down, that's when you can come back here, and just talk to us.  We might not be able to help you physically, at least I REALLY can't, but maybe kicking it around awhile with us will just make you feel a little better?

 

Phyllicrap-shoot!  You are going to live?  You had BETTER!   Does the chemo get worse each time that you go?  Man, I know NOTHING about THAT one!  Or is it the type of thunder-juice that they give you?

 

Sassywiththeinfo!  I read  and pondered, and looked up each link, and thank you so much for putting it all out there.

Yes, for me, and my whole family, they have helped, and removed wax, and we have been doing this probably since 1990. 

 

I can see how anyone could have a problem with a flame, same as standing too close to a flame of any sort.  But when you do it correctly, the end of the candle is no-where near any part of you.  The foil covered paper plate, with a hole in the center is where the candle is inserted.   And with a mirror, (if doing it alone) or when someone tells you that it is "done" you then take it out and put it in a bowl of water, or with me, I just put it in the sink, and run water over the 4" that are left.

 

It is just so much easier to remove the wax from my ear this way, instead of the softening, as with Debrox, etc. and then flushing. 

 

When I first TRIED this, after being told that I had too much wax, I did as directions said, and THEN I couldn't hear at all!   I think all the flushing moved it around, and closed up EVERYthing.....  And nothing came out! 

 

So then I went back to my ear candles...  The wax DID come out, as it always does.  But I never dreamed just how MUCH wax was coming out!  The first candle got the normal amount of wax out... but I still couldn't hear...  I was getting afraid.  I used another one, and even more came out.... but when I tipped my head, I could hear for a second....!  Then it closed up again.  So I tried another one.... THIS time I could hear a slight "crackling" sound, and I thought, IT'S WORKING!....  Still more wax!  I am not only full of schnitzel, I am full of WAX!    THIS time my ear stayed open all day!  But when I would go to bed, and wake up in the mornings, nothing!  

 

Eventually I used 8 candles in about 2 1/2 weeks? And every time I use one in my right ear especially, there is STILL more wax, but at least I can hear.

 

I know I could go to my Docs, and she would flush my ears, but when I did it myself, it hurt, and made one ache for about an hour....  So if this works, why not? 

 

I know I'll always have to wear hearing aids, but when even THAT didn't work in my right ear, you think WTF???   And when I kept using the ear candles, and it made a difference, I KNEW that I still had wax in there.  I could hear for a minute, then like a door closing, it was gone!  Then awhile later, I could HEAR....!  Same thing... it closed off.

 

But now my ear stays open!  And I can hear my normal 50% with my aids in my right ear!  I have "profound hearing loss in my left, but only 50% loss in my right"...  So that's what the aids are for.

 

Okay, I promise I won't talk about this again...  But maybe this could help someone else???  I could make this my dissertation if I ever apply for a job as an audiologist?  Ha, ha! 

 

Teka!  So this means when you go on vacation you have to leave us TOO?   

 

Cammi you little shit!  You are soooooo funny!    And you "pondered?"  (snicker-snort!)  Hah!   Yes, I'll bet Marywiththeporch is getting excited by now!  Ya' think?

And I don't have a CLUE, WHAT you mean when you say "my pin is coming out of my eyeballs, and blah-blah"!!!!  You mean your pin number?  WHAT the hell are you talking about?   A safety-pin?  What are you even DOING with something sharp around you?  You are going to wind up with Phylliintheclink if you don't watch out!

 

So miss Phyliintheasylem!  Yes, what would we do without YOU?  You are one of our dearest instigators!  Your post was so funny!  Who wrote it?

 

Morning Shells!   Yes!  Anything in my ear!  Sometimes it would itch so bad I wanted a long-handled Phillips screw-driver to scratch it!  I read that is from wax being impacted...  SEE?  Maybe that would work too, Ha!    Congratulations on almost being done with your schooling!  We will have a party for you... and serve punch. 

(you don't believe THAT one, do you?)  Plain punch?  Not a chance!  We will make a fountain of champagne!  I saw that once! 

 

Yes, wish Ducky would come back again!  She is worse than me, even!

 

So Peanutbuttergoats!  You WHAT?  You bought a planner?  And I suppose all your jars and cans are faced in the cupboard?   And you have labels on your drawers?   Actually I do some of that! 

 

Cammi!  You called Phylli that WORD?  Oh, she is coming after you!   She can open a safe with her acrylic nails, I'll bet!   And you told Teka you are sane?   Under what pre-text?  I mean on which day of the week?

 

Take care Beatmon! 

 

Yes Teka, I am coming after ALL of you hooligans with my candles!

 

Cammi!  No, I think possibly this time, maybe you are wrong!  Candling originated millions of years ago with whoever was around at that time!  Maybe the cave-men...and women!  See, they wanted to see who could come up with the craziest use for fire!  So that's how candling was invented!  

 

Chickagonelongerthanusual!  Would YOU hurry up and come back? 

I need you here, to straighten out these weaker hooligans!  Okay, go back to bed!    Drink a chocolate coke first.... and eat some gold-fish.

 

Man, this is loooooong.  Maybe I can take up a whole page for myself? Okay Shells.... Thanks.... I washed my hands, and did apply the cream, and didn't put gloves on....  I can only use it once a day, but in-between times, I use the creams with urea in them... No more new blisters!!!

Good luck with your interviews! 

 

Mostlymom!  Dang!  I was neutered too!  Just think!  No more periods!  I'll come with you to the hospital.... warn them.   So they are taking out the baby-carriage, but leaving the play-pen.  Think of it that way.

 

I've reached the end of the page....  I've almost reached the end of my rope!  Ha, ha.... just kidding!  Love you gals!  xoxoxo

Good Morning all--Happy 4th of July--I can't get my picture printed without the whole board going crazy so I keep on deleted it.  Oh well--so I'll just say it, Oh I did. OK My computer has a different look ??? It does this every so often so I'll fix it later. I let the dog out early and got an early start, but then I started watching a movie and fell back to sleep--so it's sunny and nice out and I have things open for some air and of course I have a blanket around me--I still think I'm sorry mom for making fun of u--- she was always cold--but she was much older than I am--so I don't get it.

I hope everyone feels good today and has a good Celebration. I'll be happy if the dog stops crying--my katie-kat of course is mine so she happy--she not thrilled with me giving our dog so much attention, but she;s dealing with it--OK I'll BBL

marywh

Well its sunny here for the first time in days and days, but being behind my own private bug bars, it really doesnt matter too much...Got an appointment fri. with an allergist...oh yipee-another dr. another med. but hopefully they will give me some answers. Was supposed to have gs for the day today, but other grandma wanted to take him to the 4th of July fair so I gave in. She doesnt get to see him too much because of problems with her ass-wipe son. (my ex-sil). So have to figure out something exciting to do. Youngest ds has a new girlfriend, so hes out of our hair....maybe we'll go to the movies, or out looking for NEW PORCH FURNITURE. Yay!!!!!Spending money you shouldnt is so much fun!!!!!!!!!xoxo

I don't post here....lurk a bit and read now and then, but one of my very, very, good friendds does and this is in her nonor:

Good morning all of you beautiful STFU-ers!  (pronounced stoofoo)  Haha, I made up the pronunciation part.  Could you tell?  I don't have anything to say so I'll just say it!  Cami, did you hear that?

It's a beautiful morning here with bright sunshine and a little breeze floating my flag around.  Temp is supposed to reached 94 today.  Not bad!

I've been reading patriotic quotes today.  Some of them make me so sad.  Others make me happy that I was born here.  I was LUCKY enough to have been born here so I personally never had to fight to leave another country, leave my family behind, never had to fight to get here, never had to fight to be accepted.  My ancestors did that for me.  It doesn't make me better than anyone else in the world, it makes me LUCKY.  Particularly today, I want to keep in my heart the struggles of the people in Egypt and Syria who are demonstrating and fighting for their rights.  And keep in mind all of the millions of others that lost that struggle and so would like to join us here and how we can make that work.

I think today, in order to wave my patriotic flag, I will watch the 7 part John Adams mini-series.  It's an amazing look at how we got here!  Or Fried Green Tomatoes, because I love it.  Or The Secret Life of Bees, because I love it!  Or all of them, because I'm a glutton!  Wait....I mean because I'm free to choose what I do today!  I hope this wasn't too political because I only mean it to be patriotic and the two are different things. (Hear that NSA?)

I realize I'm also LUCKY to have met ALL of you wonderful people here.  Yippie! 

Whew! My Photoshop Elements finished downloading.  I can also play with it! Again LUCK!! because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Love you all

blondiex46

phyllie you came with me I must have missed you

Sass you are always

have fun at the Casino!!

Shelll good luck with the interview, fingers crossed you will do fine

MEwent for chemo, temp was up, have bronchitis, they gave me chemo but stopped it cause my oxygen level kept going down every time I would go to the bathroom, cause I can't breathe, iit was 73 (that was the lowest) so they put me on oxygen I sat for a while.. the dr. gave me a z pack cause he is afraid of pneumonia, whatever got 1/2 taxotere. they also gave me 2 doses of steroids (another dr came in to see me, she is the one that gave me the other steroid and stopped the Tax saying that she thought it was aggravating it) Came home and slept til 3am was up til 7 and fell asleep and woke up @ 1045am..have to go to walmart and "speeding" from the steroids, will be ok....car is fixed so have to drive it been driving dil's car....oh and he ordered a PET scan so excited haven't had one since 2009, medicare will pay for one ever 6 months...been telling him I want one, so will get it before my next appt on my week on..didn't discuss pain management too concerned about me not being able to breath and my temp being elevated, he is trying to prevent me getting pneumonia.....

Teka,glad you came, I would have never said your name, accept to everyone here, just kidding. I love this group b/c they accept weird thoughts to be discussed. I sent my PM about candling at 11:13 pm last night , since your are something in medical field would have liked an opinion. I knew you were on the 12 mn deadline. OH well. Shit you would have been right at home , last post you used Damn. STFU that works here LOL. Would have liked to have known how and why and what AND how and why and what you can leave BCO at the stroke of MN July 4th, which the way you wrote it implies you have done this before Wierd and curious. Have a nice summer.

Teka

sas, I just received this public post from you in a private post.

Enough, move on.

sas-schatzi

Ckickapainsomuch, so sorry, call when the roids kick in, so I can give you my soapbox talk about fentanyl, Littlegoats may suggest something used in palliative care too. Let the Wolf Spirit protect you, might as well throw in the indian way too.

Littlegoats would you give a bit of an explanation of how we can use palliative care concepts to improve the chemo aftermath bombing.

Blondie your roids should have kicked in, hope you got what you wanted yesterday, you deserve something to be better. (just saw you posted)

Shellshiner I LOVE THE WAY you put things in perspective

Phyllymissyou, I was getting used to our daily talks, they were fun, twoyakkers. I had to force myself not to call you....Ha how's that, your habituating

Chevy, glad you were happy with the stuff. I'm mad at the government. If they committed fraud on this, what else have they fraudlently done. I say fraud b/c they had to be so careful how they did the linking. An effectual i.e.stupid person would have messed up the sequencing. Chevy, what should be done is an analysis of what's in the candle at the end, we all what at least one of the CSI shows, a Mass Spectrometer would show components. I know you are describing something. What the something really is we don't know b/c we now know, no good research has been done. I know the only time I had it done, I too had something happen. It was right up there with the worst ear ache I've ever had. The pain/pressure was relieved, I was driving home from the EITHER ER OR ENT's office(old one not new master), and nothing could be done. At least now you can say to someone i.e like me, if they try to debunk candling, you can talk there EARs off.LOL

sas-schatzi

Teka, LOL, the public post was C&P'd to a private post PM cuz , I thought you were gone till whenever. If you came back, you'd never see the post cuz we post allot. 236  pages in 6 months, should be 5-600 by mid sept. Seemed a logical thing to do...Just being friendly

sas-schatzi

Teka DUH I think I had a brain fart. Scary.  Visa Versa on the direction of post. PER the posting time it.has to be. HMMMm maybe, something, more too worry about. poop

BuT the intent was the same, and I know I had the thought last night. The scary thing is I don't remmeber doing it this am.

sas-schatzi

Shells, I live for the teasing.......go for it, I really like smiling, it feels so good---hmmm now I've been doing the funny stuff.....that just way into the 60's talk lol. The 29th sounds good YAY

sas-schatzi

CAMI ponder away and ignore tha old henwatcher.  When did youever have a "just do what you want" day? could be delicious.........

sas-schatzi

TEKA...CHITTTTTT this is getting wierder I remeber posting it now, I did it after reading Shells post about anyone being mean to each other. I wanted to make sure They knew you were welcome back... I knew you wouldn't be back cuz of your deadline.........so, right move on..........

CHEVY MAYBE TOO MUCH FUNNY STUFF ahhhhhhhhhhh""REEFER madness
