STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

GmaFoley

Not very well - they seem to make me so nauseous that it makes me throw up. And then I'm still dizzy and nauseous.

Gma, maybe you should try drinking! It makes me dizzy sometimes. Maybe it will make you undizzy

Seriously though not trying to make light of your troubles. Hope they get you on the mend soon!

Ducky, that's awesome news about Grayson. I don't know the background but think I get the gist of it. We had a big scare when our third was born and part of his brain is missing. Told he might never walk or talk. "take him home and enjoy him. Oh, and make sure he keeps breathing!". It is awesome to see any progress.

Hi Lilgoats, baking anything lately? I have to run for buttermilk. Making a white choc cake with raspberry curd filling and flamingos on top for a 40th birthday this weekend.

4......briefly.."she is an identical twin, and so is her Mom......when she was born, she was the 2nd baby, or BabyB.....first one ....normal delivery.........her, feet first presentation......he should have done a C-section....he pulled her, and her head was still inside.......he continued to pull, cause now she could not get air, and he tore her spine.......she was rushed to CHOP, cause they knew he did something wrong....spent 2 weeks there, and was diagnosed by specialists......she is just now sitting, can't walk alone, or stand.....crawls on he floor by pullin with her arms.....

He is being sued.....a c-section, and none of this would have happened to her........ I want to kill the bastard every time I look at her.......oh he will pay big time, no matter how much she improves......it is 2 1/2 years..........he will never do this to another family, or child.........pure neglect, and malpractice...

Hi 44444 and Jackie! Just messing around..... cleaning out cupboards..... xoxoxoxo

Teka

I am about to relax in the recliner while snacking & watching a horror movie.

camillegal

Hi Ladies oh and Chevy

Lilli that was beautiful, really like that one and I never said that either.

I cleaned out 3 of my jewelry boxes and I took tthem out--they were put away now I have only a couple left, I wish I had real stuff Wow. So I did something today and it's raining here which I like on a day to watch scary movies.

duckyb1

Cam......I have plenty of real stuff.....trust me it doesn't change your life.....you just sparkle a little more in the crowd...

I would trade everything I own in the "real stuff" category for a pain free existence......today is awful.....the only thing not aching is my head.......better shut-up before I jinx myself.......f/n cancer....f/n arthritis......f/n Letrozole......I hate my life.....and the "real stuff" cause who feels good enough to go anywhere, that you can wear it.......oh well enough bitching..........just saying......sorry you all don't need to hear this crap......hugs

Chevyboy

Teka and Cammi! Watching horror movies! I love that!

Cammi, I AM a lady..... aren't I? I THOUGHT I was anyway.... I've given a lot of my jewelry away, to my Daughter's....

Flashy/trashy jewelry is more fun anyway, than the real stuff! I use it sparingly.

Di2012

Ducky....I am really sorry for your discomfort....Sending you l-o-n-g distance hugs!

Some days I hurt all over, too many surgeries....the only drug right now that I take is a RX iron capsule twice a day, besides a ton of vitamins, but always hurt in my left hip....when it wakes me in the night I curse my damn doctor for not giving me a cortisone injection....

I have a little "real" jewelry but I never wear it and want to sell it....Wanted to sell it last year this time when I was first DX but so many doctors and test and then the price of gold dropped...and dropped.....and dropped.....so will wait to see if it goes up a little....I don't wear it as I always feel uncomfortable and vulnerable when out and about with the real stuff, and believe me I don't have really BLING BLING stuff....When in different countries I wear NO RINGS or jewelry, or carry a purse.

marywh

I just don't wear jewelry that much anymore. I have a few good pieces that were my moms and grandmas, dds ex-boyfriend who was a drug addict (and we didn't know it) stole my 2 best pieces. Never found out what he did with them,pawned them Im sure..They were my moms.It broke my heart. Could never prove he did it though.

duckyb1

Mary...how awful.....

I have a lot from my mother who loved jewelry, especially diamonds......now the only thing I wear is the ring my husband gave me on our 28th anniversary....It is 3 rows of diamonds,,,20 pts. each, and there are 15 total.....it is 3 bands together..........when I die the 3 will be separated, and each of my daughters will get 1 band......he had it done that way.....the ring is 3 carets total weight......only thing I wear......I have a beautiful engagement ring that is 1 caret, with diamonds around the band..........I want to give that to one of my grandaughter's to use as her engagement ring............probably will piss others off, but her mother was getting it anyway............don't want to start a feud....and it will......

I was an only child, so I got everything.....I have 6.. and 18 grandchildren....big difference...

Mary, that so awful about your MOM's pieces. It's hard t let go of the feeling of being violated that way, so sorry.

Anyone that has old pieces from the 60's and before they can bring in a bit of money depending on who signed them. I 'll bring a link you can look at to get an idea. AJ Jewelry.  I've purchased several of her pieces for gifts.

A great thing to do with old clip earrings is to them give to little girls for dress up. I found a pair at the thrift store that were perfect for a Ariel costume Verdegris star and beads. I've been collecting them all year for Christmas. The screw ones would be difficult and likely dangerous. BUT the clip on are great. Wish I'd thought of this several years ago.

I purchased a lapel pin that had two stags and crossed guns in pewter. I was going to send it to PALIN. I liked her independence. Not many could survive in the wilderness. No me for sure. Decided to see if I could find it's origins. I did. It was a Natzi officer collar pin. So it's in the drawer any ideas?

I liked Madeline Albright's story about her lapel pins. Originally she just liked them. BUT one day a reporter made a big deal about what she was wearing and WHAT WAS THE SIGNIFICANCE RE: THE MEETING WITH SO&SO. When interviewed later in life  She thought it was funny "It just went with the outfit". BUT from then on she put thought into it and intentionally wore a pin that would give a message.  Cool . Woman Power.

Teka

Yes, she was known for her pins!

duckyb1

got 2 large jewelry boxes full of costume jewelry also my mothers with numerous pins from way 50's to 70's even the old fashion marquisite, and rhinestone sets....the woman had it all, while I was the opposite......never wore jewelry.......more tomboy, then lady..

sas-schatzi

Rhinestones are making a big comeback!  Also costume jewelry depending if it's signed, and even unsigned pieces. All things old are new again. Besides can be purchased for less than new stuff and can be more exciting!

flat13good

Duckyb1 Do you crochet or knit??? You can make a purse then felt it and use them as decoration. I put pins on the flap to help keep them closed. They make great holiday gifts.

Wren44

Flatsy, you reminded me of the pin my mother made for me to wear to school. It was a felt duck, blue with a yellow bill. It was actually a little purse that snapped shut and held my lunch quarter.

Shellshine

My heart is so heavy, but happy to hear that Grayson took her first steps.

camillegal

Sas u have any German friends> sorry u know I was going to say something about that pin.

I had a (I thought) a beautiful gold huge ring--I have big hands--made with my moms and aunts diamonds and my ex-husband took it when he left A/H and insisted I lost it. BS and I knew it. But I do have big fun jewelry signed and everything looks so real and one of my GF's makes gorgeous jewelry which I can't afford, but she sends me a piece every so often that she knows I'll love. But I've never worn a watch, no reason for me ever. hahaha

Ducky I'm sorry u'r feeling so poorly, it sucks bad, sometimes we get so much crap from this rat bastard after--it's hard to feel good. I've pretty much resigned myself to pain meds--which I never took---it just eases things most of the time but I hate when others are suffering it should be over I think.

Wren that sounded so cute about u'r lunch quarter.

Who's getting what done on the 26th, I can't go back a page, isn't that the week of Thanksgiving??? Geeze

luvmygoats

DD did that for an invention convention thing. I had her brainstorm what she carried to school everyday which was a backpack and a lunchbox. She came up with the idea of Velcroing a tiny change purse into the lunchbox for milk money and I'll be darned she won a prize for it. I think I did the Velco placing but the idea was all her's.

Wren - I bet that ducky was very cute. I still have my Camp Fire beads and my "Bluebird" pin.
