    Diane -- that really sucks.  Can't you file some sort of police report - can't your provider take some sort of action.  You certainly don't need this sh*t.

    Traci - my brother was in jail for 8 years.  He came out, got married, adopted her child from another relationship, had two more daughters and got divorced (his ex-wife's idea).  He got involved with another woman and had another child - a boy.  He has diligently supported all 4 kids and been a great father to them.  He is so devoted to his kids he works all kinds of hours to help them and pay child support.  He is not in trouble at all (of course he works so much who had time?).  His children adore him.  His middle daughter just went to college and the youngest one just moved in with him.  He drives 50 miles to pick up his son every other weekend faithfully.  He turned out to be a great guy and an exceptional father.  I just love him to pieces and am so proud of him.

Dh just said last nite--when I first told him about "m' boy"  he thought I was totally nuts, but after he spoke to him for just 10 minutes he agreed--doesn't matter to us what he did (or didn't) do--we know & love him as he is ---a wonderful guy! He called me Sat nite & I talked him thru making fried chicken---LOLOLOL

    Am I too old to run away?

    I'm thinking the Bahama's or maybe St. Croix...

    Nope, not too old...but you may need to acquire a relatively large piece of luggage so I can stow away and come along with you.

    I have a steemer trunk from my Navy days, I'm sure you'd fit quite nicely! I'm thinking if I tend bar somewhere that I also get a free meal...and sleep on the beach, I only need to cover getting a shower every day and I can probably just dunk in the ocean for that at least a few times a week...there has been some thought put into this plan already, can you tell ?

    I always threaten to run away to camp. A camp where I can sit and read all day, stopping only to eat and drink whatever they bring my way.

    I admit, I am a packrat. I still have a dress that I wore to a tolo dance back in 1978 (?). Can't believe I was that small (but I was sure I was fat!). The husband has two sets of clothes - real ones he can wear in public and the others that are good for painting, yard work, DIY, etc. At least he doesn't keep things on the off chance that they'll fit him again one day. Embarassed

    Diane - give 'em what for.

    jane - we can sometimes (rarely) get the city to replace a tire if proven that it failed because of a pothole. ????

    Frustrated with a co-worker who takes it all personally, a husband (otherwise lovely) who wants me to resolve everything, no matter what, right now, and my children - just because they're teens.

    I've been on Effexor for 3 months and Tamoxifen for just over 2. I sweat like nobody's business every single night. Having my first period on Tamox & it doesn't seem to be quitting. At least I'm not having much in the way of hot flashes during the day. It can be so cold at work that they can only help. Oh, and the exhaustion/tiredness. Is it the time change or the drugs?

    I called the City of Poughkeepsie today and they faxed me a claim form today.  It looks like they might reimburse me for the cost of the tire.  I'm also not the first one to hit this same pot hole and damage their car.  I noticed today that the pothole was fixed (somewhat).

    (((Navy))) What's the matter gurl????????

    Diane, you are F-U-N-N-Y!!!!!!!

    Saint, Kathleen, thanx so much. I hope with all my heart he will be o.k. I talked to him last night and I said "the only advice I can give you is that for awhile, until you get on your feet, you going to have to work...and be bored....that's it. You can't be running around partying and spending all the money you make." It's going to be tough given his age.....

    I just found out also, that his brother who is 23, has a girlfriend that is 6 1/2 months pregnant. I got the baby-to-be a little onezie (sp? never had a kid...) that says "Future Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader". lol

    On an even happier note; my brother is in town for 3 weeks and I am just loving having him here. He is splitting time between mine and our other sister's house, but I had him alone last night and while I cooked a good 'ol southern momma meal for him, he watched House. He was laughing and laughing. It was so great to hear my bro's laugh in my normally very quiet house. I'm so lucky to have such great siblings. We didn't have much growing up, but we sure had love and it has so stuck. We are all so tight.

    Pam, do you have a fan by your bed? When I feel my hotflash coming on....I let it brew until I just start to sweat (you know...about 5 seconds) then I uncover and let that cold air hit my moist skin and that really helps to put out the flames fast.

    Hugs everybody!!!

    Well to say the lease I am having one of those nights.  I is 2:50 am and I am up crying for no real reason but feel pissed off and sorry for myself all at the same time. 

    I have the tea pot on and hope that once I drink a cup and take a trazadon, I can go to sleep.  I had decided I was not going to take pills anymore unless I really had to.  Tonight or this morning, I really need to.

    Oh Pinky...I'm so sorry you were up like that...I know the feeling too and it sucks! Tea was a good idea (I hope) as it usually helps me. My cousing came this past weekend with her family - it's the first time she's been to my house in years and she thought it was so funny that I drink tea now in the evenings. I guess it seemed "old lady-ish" to her and she just couldn't picture it.

    Traci ~ it jus sucks when breast cancer comes along and one day you realize maybe your relationship isn't all that you thought it was before breast cancer. I'm starting to see bits and pieces of my mother-in law coming out and it's really (really) not a good thing. I'm hoping it's just one of those valley's in the whole "peaks and valley's" of relationships...but what if it's not? Apparently the post breast cancer me is not nearly as pretty or as fun as the pre-breast cancer me and that really stings. Like I didn't already know that right now? Ugh, enough...can't go there again this morning because I want to have a good day...no matter what else happens today, as of this morning at 5am I have lost 10.5 lbs of steriod gain!!! Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!!

    I hope we all have a good day...Diane, I'm still waiting for you to PM me that phone number ;P

    Hello to old and new friends.  I have been away for a while and wanted to pop in to say hello.  My IOS is simple.  For the first time in my life I woke up this morning as a Stage 4 cancer patient.  Still finding it hard to absorb!  Just numb.

    D*mn. Nicki. D*MN, D*MN, D*MN.  I am so very sorry to hear this. 

    I've been reading but not posting because I felt guilty for not posting but today I am irritated so I decided "what the hell."

    I moved to Cape Town which is be-yoo-tee-ful and sunny and very interesting and people are quite friendly. Cape Town, as I am living here, is the anti-Suck. It is the antidote for all that is sucky.

    Nevertheless, I am irritable today. The situation is not helped by the fact that there is this guy who sells squeaky toys on the street below my apartment. I swear, I want to pick up a chair and heave it at his head. If I decide to do this, I promise I will yell "That SUCKS!" as I do it in honor of you all and all of your IOS's.

    Nicki - again, I am so sad and pissed off that Stage IV has become a part of your BC experience. You'll be numb for quite a while probably - I know that is still frequently my condition. Let us know what/when your treatment is. We'll see you through this major SUCKAGE.

    Bonnie - WTG on the 10.5 pounds offa your bod! Once I'm not taking decadron every day, I'll be right there with you. {trying again to wean off it this week!}

    Rock - you make SA sound wonderful! Bet there you see mighty different flora from what you are used to in NYC. Is it hot? Could you perhaps offer a small financial incentive to get the street vendor to move up the block? Maybe make a bargain that you'll buy half a dozen of his nuisance toys and he'll move at least 100 yds. away?

    ooops, I realized on my way to treament I was remiss in saying how happy I was for Traci that she's getting to spend time with her bro' and loving every minute of it! I'm so happy for you Traci - I'm sorry I got wrapped up in my own goo and neglected to mention that part :)

    It's official...my weigh in at treatment showed 10.5 lbs lost (Thanks Lisa...) I find it to big to be a coincedence that a little over 2 weeks ago my hormones kicked in to the point where I got a period again and viola, the weight started coming off! I'm going to take advantage of it as much as I can before now and March 25th when I get my ovaries out - I'm afraid once I do that I will once again struggle, struggle, struggle...

    No IOS tonight, I hope not for any of us...Nicki, I hope you were able to have a quiet day reading the posts from all those who love you and are supporting you and lifting you up right now...(((Nicki)))

    I'm off to research Dave Matthews...he's on a music station I listen to at work now and I never knew I liked him so much because I never new what songs he sang...I want to see if he's playing live anywhere :)

    Oh, Nicki, that news of yours totally sux.  Major, big time IOS.  I was hanging out over on another part of the boards where you posted it and I was stunned.  Glad you're back, of course; but I wish you didn't have that particular reason to be here.

    I know it sounds silly, but I want you to imagine that all of your BC sisters (the good ones) are there with you.  We're brewing you some tea or cocoa or your beverage of choice, and watching goofy movies with you, and trying on your old clothes (the ones everyone here would have us throw away) and laughing at how funny we look in someone else's clothes...  Nicki, when things get tough, just lean really hard against us and we'll support you.  We'll listen, we'll cry, we'll investigate things for you, we'll just be there as your virtual sisters.

    Big hugs...

    I have always thought of you as that cute avatar... a warrior girl... tough yet still feminine.  And once you get past the shock.... you will blow them out of the water.  They thought I was toast, Stage 4, with mets to liver, lungs and spine and a smoker too.  They whispered 18 months.... and I am still here after 3 yrs.  Remember this is not the end.  It is only the beginning.  I will follow your progress and share your victories and cry when its too too hard.  We are sisters.
