TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Love the friendship poem paprika

Lisa, could we ever forget Mazer.  See that as the anniversary approaches we all kind of drop in and we are flooded with memories.  We still have heartache for those we have lost and those that continue to have problems and trying times.  Had our laughs too.

Welcome Saskie.  May this thread help you through some troubled days as it has many in the past.

HollyAnn - so many lost jobs for so many.   I pray a job opens for you.  No one would hire me because of my age - that is for sure.

Tossing on another log - kind of stormy right now but should pass soon.  Bring your afghan or blanket, a chair and come sit in the circle around the fire.  I dont' get here often but tonight is a night for memories and wrapping our arms around new folks that have found their way here. 

Blessings to all

I am happy i tune in to this site.  There is lots of support and a bit of fun and joking because laughter is the best medicine.  you need a sense of humour to get through all these treatments and their side effects

I have just thawed out some hot dogs for a light evening meal for my hubby and I while I am cooking them over the campfire I will pretend i am sitting there around the big campfire enjoying conversation and laughs with you gals.

Love Saskie 

 The Circle was formed to support and encourage many who were going through difficult times.  Prayers are always welcome here but are not forced to someone who is non-religious. I read that the circle was to be an exclusive prayer thread. Prayer comes in many different ways, beliefs and acts.  Many who come to the circle pray; many who come aren't.  There is nothing wrong with either group. 

Starting a Prayer Circle was a wonderful idea.  I'm sure you will have many come and post there.

The prayer circle is for anyone, religious or non religious....I revised my post on that..I did not make it clear to start..Thank you Cheryl for pointing that out........

I pray too liz.......

I have not excluded anyone for any reason   You say no one is ever excluded but it certainly sounds like you want me to be excluded.  I am amazed no one has been posting here but mostly footie and its like you mock her religious rights.  I'm not missing any point, what we had here was love and support.  I don't know what you mean by excluding anyone but I do know when I am not wanted and not welcome.  I really thought the past was water under the bridge but I think some people just like to cause trouble but Ok, BinVA you got it.  I will not be back.  Thanks for you underlying love and fundamentals.

Bren,

Well said, my FRIEND, with a heart of gold.

Lisa,

I didn't realize we were dx'ed the same year. Yes, nine is a good number and going strong. And, by the way, I loved the pics you posted of the Midway. My BIL served on it 1987-90. I spent three weeks in Yokohama with my sister in Feb '88 and had the most wonderful time. Martin referred  to the Midway as the "Skidway". I'm not really sure why, so I'll have to investigate that. Thank  you for all your wonderful pictures.

Tossing another log on the fire.

I've been reading this thread for awhile and enjoyed it very much. I have even read back through some of the older pages and it seemed like such a nice place with plenty of camaraderie at some points in time. I've read enough of it to see a pattern that made me feel as though I had to post. It appears that when some people make themselves comfortable here and become quite inspiring to others they suddenly delete posts and leave. Perhaps I missed the page that contained the rules for posting on this particular thread. I was dismayed to find a particular poster suddenly leave after I had enjoyed reading her postings. May I suggest that some of the old timers, as it was put, read back through the pages and take a quick refresher course of the fundamentals themselves. I will take my leave and with disappointment will not read here again. Thank you for your attention.

I must comment on the irony that has played out here in the circle the last couple of days......the one person that has to be one of the kindest persons here at bc.org would be asked to leave a thread that she has been a member of from the beginning............the one person that has stayed completely out of the foolishness and mayhem that erupted here in the circle and many other threads and as a person that chooses not to be a believer acts more Christen then most of the women here that proclaim their faith including myself.....................now see my Christen sisters it is this kind of behavior that makes nonbelievers wonder about what is really in our hearts.........

I personally have not been a very good circle girl in more ways then one.......but this thread is the foundation of my breast cancer survival..........and yes I am bad about posting on a regular basis but this is the one place I always return when I am lonely, scared, wondering what my future holds.........I find it reassuring and comforting.........I don't post much but I always read.........

so please ladies don't come in and try to change our wagon circle.....it is a place for believers and nonbelievers alike...........for women and men that have breast cancer or for someone has a loved one that has been dx and needs someone to talk to..........this is a place for finding others that understand what they are living through........

And of course pictures of our Cowboys that help out around the campfire are never a bad thing........Shokk

Hey Spice girl good luck today..........may your markers come down and all reports are encouraging...........we all (heart) you............Shokk

I think I will bring some fried okra, fresh sliced home grown tomatoes and some purple hull peas........but Jo there are some Yankee girls here so we have got to bring them something.......maybe some fresh sliced Salome and rye bread and a bad attitude.....(just kidding)..............ha.........Shokk

No one was running anyone off this thread. Nannie asked for clarification on a certain post, and it was taken the wrong way.  Ladies, come back.  No reason to act this way.  I have my own beliefs.  Jesus was an alien.....it's the only thing that can mesh science and religion in my mind, but then again, I'm a kook with a wide open perspective.

Jo the Civil War is over????????????............................not down here below the Dixie Line..........

 Hey Blue don't worry........I think everyone knows that they are welcome..........so what are you bringing to the campfire.....let's see......you are an Italian Canadian..............maybe some Poutine with a side of spaghetti...........ha...............Shokk
