please help

OMG sisters..had to log on quick to share!!!   I got a call from Mike (the guy from Monday)..he wants to go out again.  Then I got a text from Marlon (last nights date) and he wants to go out again too!  what to do?? advice..date both??

omg..when it rains it pours!! I am tickled!!

Go for it, Lisa.  You know if it were a man asking the same question the answer would be.....dah!  date them both!!  Have fun!!

Lol! Sheila - good advice to Lisa! And I like what Linda said too! Wow, Lisa - I think that's so exciting and great - 2 gorgeous men to choose from!!

Karen - how did the MRI go? I hope you come back soon and let us know. Hugs to you sweet girl.

How precious Cathi!  I donm't know who is cuter!

Hoping the best for Jacki.  Hang in there.

BTW, I think I remember Cathi and Barbe?? talking about bathing suits.   Well someone did, I think. Today I was reading an old Oprah Mag and found an article on swimsuits for breast cancer survivors.  It's a company called T.H.E.  and a website:     the-swimwear.com

I have not checked it out but wanted to pass the info along.  Hopefully it will be helpful to someone!

Linda, without even looking, I can tell you T.H.E. probably includes protheses! For some reason it has not occured to any company to make a flat top for larger women. Of course there are small cups and sizes, but those don't fit my broad shoulders. I just cut the foam boobies out to make it flat...sigh.

Thanks Cathi for the feedback!

Linda, I don't wear prosthetics (foobies) by choice. So I need a top that will lay flat to my chest without gaping (and giving someone a sight they didn't expect to see!)

Not a problem Linda! Any help is good....

Hello everyone!

So good to see you all here. Now , please don't be offended if I don't remember to respond to someones post. I love you all , and you are all in my daily prayers.

First , Wren , did you steal my "Charlie Brown cloud"?

When it rains it pours , and Wren you have been soaked!! With all this , and you still are optimistic! You are such a kind soul. And what a wonderful DH you have! He really loves you. That tattoo is proof! I love to here a husband do something for there wives , that the would never normally do. Sounds like a keeper to me. I glad to hear you are feeling better. Its sounds like you were in a lot of pain and discomfort. I LOVE red hair. But howdy dudy red , not so much! But it sounds very pretty now. I love strawberry blonde. Wish I could wear it well. I think as young girls , we have pinker nipples , as we age, have children , hormone changes , they get darker and more brown. So If yours are red , thats just a darker pink.Think of yourself as very young!!lol

I sure hope your daughter is OK. That sounds so scary. Hugs to her. She is in my prayers. Well , again , kudoos to your hubby. Its a wonderful thing you get to look at that tat , and know , without him saying a word , how much he loves you and how much you mean to him.xxxx

Hi Cheryl , I was just wondering how you were doing. Haven't seen you post in a while. Sorry chemo sucks so much. And a cold on top of it. We are all walking with you on the yellow brick road. You will make it! And we are always here for you. I'm not sure about other threads , but we have always been able to come here and vent our hearts out! No one judges you , or gives you a "private pm" telling you how you should feel or not feel. So please , if there is something you would like to vent , get off your chest , discuss , or just need to know someone is listening and cares , please do. Feelings of abprehension , scared , mad ,  sad , we all can relate sometime or another. I am a pretty optimistic person. But there have been times when I am mad , sad , depressed , and I have come here , and these ladies are always here for me. And we will be for you too! Hope your cold and pain lessen , and you start feeling better soon. Love you Cheryl.xxxx

Uncle Bill!! Soooo good to see you here! You made my day! You just keep on doin' the chemo UB. I know it SUCKS , but it will beat bootface back into oblivion and make many tomorrows for you and AE. I know nine yrs is a long time. But 30 more yrs. with AE and knowing all of us  is worth it! And as you are there for AE , she is there for you in this rough time. Believe me , it is definately worth it! You two rock! And number one on my wish list is for all of us to get together. Just think of all the great stories from you , Lisa , and me alone about "the good ole party days! We can compare black outs and how many brain cells we actually fried!lol

For now , you just rest and focus on one day at a time. God loves you , AE loves you , Dilbert loves you , and all of us love you. xxxx

Hi Lisa!!!! Wow! Look at you! You go girlfriend. You got them lining up! I shall varcariously , live through you. lol Honeygirl , let me tell you something , as I have said before , I have met you. You are a beautiful woman. Inside and out. If they don't call , let them fall! No second date? Leave'em at the gate! Believe me , if they are not interested , then they are not all about what you are looking for in a man. NEVER , for one instant think , its because of you. And I think you are going at dating in a good mind set. Because you are leaving all options open , if they don't call , you are moving on , and I think that is what you have to do , in order to find Mr. Right. I must say , I have a good feeling about Marlon. I hope you have fun on your next date with him.

Hope you are feeling better. I'll tell ya , I have had so many more pains since I started tamox.. I know it has put me into chemical menopause. That and the damage from chemo , I ache alot. Hang in there. If we don't make it to ninety , we do know what it feels like!lol Sorry , sick humor , I go there once in a while. Love you Lisa , oh , and yes , you better share all the juicy details like Barb said!xxxx 

Hi Sue ! Sorry you're feel like $hit. It seems like we are all feeling a lot of aches and pains. Thank you chemo! Remember , thanks to chemo , our bodies have "aged" more than they sould have at this point in our lives. So the aches and pain will be with us.

I loved your pics on facebook! You are such a sweetheart , I know those employees love having you as a boss. I just wish your company was more accomodating to you. When you finally have had enough , and you move on , they will surely miss you!

How are the boys doing? I hope they are fine and doing well. Hope you did take the day off. And are feeling better. Love you Sue.xxxx

Hi Sheila , So sorry to hear of your swelling. I hope it is not Ly. I can't believe all you are having to go through to get an appt! Man. I hope they can get you in soon. You sound like you have a great hubby too. Hope you are feeling better soon.xxxx

Hi Barbe! Hope all is well with you. Would love to be your friend on FB. Hope I can find you!

Don't let a rotten apple spoil it for you here. This really is an awsome place , and the ladies here are awesome. Its a rough road for all. Some more than others. What ever happened , I hope you will always come here. You are a fun and loving sister. I appeciate you alot! Laughter is the best medicine! Love you Barbe. xxxx

Hi Jane , I hope you are all cuddly , and cosely with little Blossom and your hot water bottle! Sounds like you had a busy Easter. Hope it was a good one. Have you done any drawings lately or are you to busy with the house? You need to get some "me time". Take care , love to you and your family.xxxx

Love you my down under friend.

Hi Cathi , how are you honey? I didn't see a post from you about your daughters path report. Did she get it yet? Praying for a good path report.Love the pics. No wonder Ed loves you sooo much, you are one beautiful chicka! Inside and out! Hows little Margo doing? More pics please! Love you Cathi.xxxxx

Hi Makraz! I will post more pics on  FB soon. How are the boys doing? They are so cute. You have such a beautiful family. Hope you are having a good start to the weekend. xxxx

Hi Judie! Connor is such a sweetheart. But I know what a handful that age can be. I always had my son "wind down" with a good book. I think the act of reading to them helps them calm down for a good nights sleep. And a "routine schedule". And why am I saying this to you... Not like you haven't done this before!

How are you feeling? Sounds like you had an awesome Easter. So glad. Have fun building presious memories with Connor. Love you Judie.xxxx

To all my sisters here , love you , and have a great weekend. xxxx Mel

Thanks Makraz!! My aches and pain have actually felt better tonight. Thanks for asking.

Wow , "ten yr. old melt downs" haven't experienced that in a while! But sure do remember those. Don't worry , tomorrow will be a great day for a harley ride. Your a good mom and dad to know he needed your attention. I am having a good night , hope you are too.

Mel, I know it was the right thing to do but I still want to go for a ride.  Wahhhhhh, I feel like a 10 year old!!  Not really, I feel like a 63 year old but I'm only 43!  It's been a really long week, teenage son giving me a run for my money!  BIL needing help with an addiction, I can only stretch so far!  Thank God DH and I are solid, otherwise, who knows!

So glad you are feeling better tonight.  Any news about the fires?  I think I told you I rent a cabin for 2 weeks every summer on Squam and I would be devestated if they ever burned.  My boys love to go to Meredith!

Oh, Honeygirl you are right!! Sorry about that!! It's the other Cindy that I'm confusing you with!!  SO sorry.  gott go to bed!  See you all tomorrow!

Whoo hoo, Lisa!  Those men have good taste!!!

My MRI went off without a hitch.  Won't have results until the middle of next week. 

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Love and hugs,

Karen
