I'm bitchy, I moan, I groan.....anyway.

Kimberly,

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! I know my Oscar (in my avatar) is my best buddy.

That sucks!

((((HUGS)))
Diane

Awww hugs lovin----it is SOOOOoooo hard--our pets ARE family!

Prayers for all of you & big hugs.... 

Saint - for some reason he looks very regal in his pictures...maybe some "kingly-sounding" name?

Lovinmomma - my heart is with you; it's a tough spot to be in.

I'm going to try some Melatonin.  It can't hurt, especially if I keep its side effects in the back of my mind.

HI Ladies. 

Nicki, I am so sorry you got this crappy news. You will be in my prayers daily as you gather info and make decisions.

Have a question....What does IOS/SOI mean???

Saint YEAH!! for stable scans.

Handsome man you got there. My pick for a name is GYNORMOUS.....You could call him Gyno for short. ahhhahhahahahahhhah

Hubby dropped off my little Navy Boy at the airport in Sacramento this morning. Missed his plane yesterday cause the airline has idiots for employees. Two hours there and two hours back did not a happy mommy make. New flight left at 6am this morning so the man person took him this morning cause I don't do well driving in the dark.

Traci.....WTF is Poughkeepsie made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

Navygirl, we are never to old to run away. I do it on a regular basis. Every time I find myself contemplating criminal acts because I live with stupid men I run away to my daughters for a week or more. Nothing like a grandbaby fix to perk me right up.

Kujo....you wrote my story. tho mine started almost 5 years ago. I use Donnatal for hot flashes. It is my little wonder drug. I still have a few a day but they are very mild mannered. For sleep I use Ambien. It still works for me after 4+ years of taking it every night.

Diane, that sucks indeed....crossing my fingers.

Kimberly, squishy hugs to your kids and you. Losing are furry friends sucks buttermilk.

WTH??? OOPs I guess. Have no idea how that happened.

Sherloc..it is you

SoCal, it is me indeed....good to see you

Melonhead? Elvis? Shakespeare?  I like Romeo, he looks like a real sweetie, romancer, rather royal

I agree with dream - I would vote for Ferris!

Dh is LOL at some of these suggestions! My kids don't like Fergus--Tho.....another uncanny thing: I named one dog after a character in one of my favorite books & was thinking of consulting it again when dh suggested Fergus---who was in that book!! (he has no way of knowing that!)

Today we came up with Chops/Chopper, Ferguson, & Gigolo .....not sure how long this is going to take---last cat had a different name at each of his first 3 vet app't ! 

Anyone who would like can connect with Nicki at the No Surrender site------hugs! PM for the exact edress!

Almost time for Big Love-----be well & stay strong 

Wow I'm glad I found this thread.  I'm so tired of being positive so for just one minute I'm going to let it all out. 

I hate the fact that I'm through with treatment and I still feel awlful.  I hate the fact the I have nervopothy.  I hate the fact that Im never going to be the old me I really loved the old me.  I really miss my old body (I can't have reconstruation) I hate wearing fake boobs all day.  And if one more person tells me I should be thankful for all the things I have I think I will SCREAM!

Can anyone tell me why it isn't ok to say these things.  My sister will respond with are your meds adjusted ok.  This has nothing to do with my medication (which I might add I'm sick of taking).

I really feel better girls thank you for listening and not judging me

Hugs and Prayers to all

Lori 

Welcome Lori---This AM this thread reminded me of the classroom/office of one of my favorite co-workers when I worked with middle school special ed.

She was the speach pathologist &, lucky for me, her room was often empty when things got really bad (as sometimes they would-& it was almost ALWAYS the adults-not the kids!!!) I would step into her room, shut the door & say, "Do you mind?" & then with permission I would shake my head, stomp my feet & go ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! Once done I felt better & could resume my day on a more positive note---that is what I hope this thread does for all the suckage we encounter! 

I have 2 IOS's today---my neighbor had throat cancer & finished tx last year. I recently learned that it came back & she has had your larynx removed. I took some flowers over & her NEVER ruffled, retired-cop-swat team sharp shooter-coroner husband looked like he'd been pulled thru a knot hole! I almost lost it looking at this man who looked so defeated......& I haven't even SEEN her yet!

My past principal is one of the finest men I have ever met & easily one of the 2 BEST bosses I ever had. He was "daddy" to so many fatherless kids & a firm but gentle authoritarian with even the worst cases; a truly HOLY man. He retired early a year ago to fight his lymphoma. He had a bone marrow transplant in Dec & had been fighting host-graph disease/rejection since then..this AM I heard he is engaging hospice & coming home.....

THIS DISEASE SUX!  ARRRGGGGGHHHHhhhhhhhhhh....wish that helped.... 

Big hugs & a big THAT SUX--you choose-one from column A, one from column B or BOTH!

Be well & stay strong 

edited to correct spelling mistakes!

Gentle Hugs and my shoulder to lean on.   We all have our issues that may not mean much to others, but HERE, we know, we understand, we can say THAT SUCKS and no one is gonna chastize us for it.   Stomp, whine, moan, cry, and have at it.   You, We, I have earned the right to it.   Blessings,   Nancy

Ah, lovin', that's so sad! My heart goes out to you and your family....{{{{{{{{ HUGS  }}}}}}}}}}}}

Kimberly - I'm adding my condolences, as well.

I believe IOS stands for "issues of suckage".  Back awhile someone posted all the abbreviations we use here. It was amazing!

Saint - we call my kitty boy Sponge Bob, Splungie, Spongeena, etc.  And, he is just the lovin'est cat ever!  His favorite thing is to lay across our two out stretched hands, he on his back, belly up, stretched out full length.  Then, we call him "Sacrificial Kitty"!!

Rumple-teaser was a kitty boy who is no longer with us, but when my daughter was dancing, she did several solos from "Cats" and so we borrowed the name from the musical.  He ended up being just "Rumpie". 

 And I have Kliban (long "i" sound), named for the cat cartoonist, Ziggy, Marley, and Beebles.  Monet is with my daughter, but her brother, Claude, is no longer with us.  Their mom, Dijon also went to kitty Heaven, along with Tuna, Salmon, Perch, and Trout, the black kitties who would line up nose to tail, and follow me down the street.  Now, NOBODY goes outside. Not no how!
