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

Navy - the Safeway Grocery stores ask at the register during October - I always say I have contributed and puff out my chest (have not had reconstruction yet).

Nancy - good for your girlfriend!!!  At least safeway tells you how much they are contributing.

Rinna - you are correct - why not just give the money outright?  Instead of spending dollars decorating packages of stuff for October, save your PR budget and go straight to the charity of your choice.

Do you know that Panera Breads makes a bagel in the form of a pink ribbon during October --- pullese!

I use return address labels you get at Staples or Office Depot and print them out on my computer.   Bonnie, I will bring a LOT of stickers and we can have a sticker "walk".... lolol  !!!    Today I plastered them ALL over the store when I went for groceries - yes I go for groceries a lot !!   I had a 10% off coupon that was going to run out and got a few basic things.   Every single aisle has pink stuff promoting BC funding.   

Of course Renee!!!!!  This is the official free-for-all snark at the world thead! 

Snark away (((( friends )))).  I love you all,   Nancy

Barbe, you can contact them for more - they are very good - when I asked for a bunch to pass out to doctors and chemo infusion center.    And they will provide for a "display", like to "educate" others at a health fair or such.    I also hope you never need to use it.

Well it seems like I havent been here for a while - lots of reading  catchup.

So I will just throw out a universal - HELLO EVERYONE.

My COBRA ends at the end of this month.  They have to take me on in a private policy under HIPAA conversion.  You can go to any insurance agent and get health insurance.  You just have to convert from COBRA to individual policy within 60 days of the COBRA end date.  Of course, who knows what they will charge you for it and who knows what you will be paying in co-pays!  But you will be in Canada and won't care.

I hate insomnia. What's more, I hate being wide awake and hungry as hell! I'm dying for some banana pancakes  

Thanks Elizabeth - sometimes when she is just sitting in front of you with her head cocked she melts my heart.  She has very expressive eyes that always look at you as if she wants to ask you a question.  Thank you from Diva and me!

I took a vacation from the boards and haven't been able to catch up here--can't decide if I want to try and read all I missed or just catch up to the most recent. The best I can do today is holler, "THAT SUCKS!" to all who need it.

Rock, girrrrrrrrrlllllll........I might just have to visit eBay later and see if I can't find some more jungle animals pooping out pink ribbons for the pepto thread. LOL

I've missed "mah peeps"; you all have never left my mind nor my heart. 

((((HUGS)))

I am not perfect, no, nowhere near.  I will never be perfect, not while on earth here.

I am not perfect, and I haven't met

Anyone... anywhere ... on earth who looks perfect yet.

It's not that my anger just doesn't exist

I've found far too few positives to being snarky when pissed.

I've come a long way by watching a lot

To remind me of what family is and what family is not.

There are friends that I've had and left on the way

There are words that I thought about, but never would say.

I am a cynic, optimists leave me uneasy

I can't think of an end to this poem that would please me.

Welcome back.  THAT SUCKS as needed.   No use complaining much, as there is little if anything I can do to change it.  Just gotta learn to live with it.   HUGS,  Nancy

This clip, the musical finale from Monty Python's The Life of Brian, is dedicated to everyone who tells a person with cancer to "Be Positive."  (With sincere apologies to those who are going to be offended by it.  I mean no disrespect to Jesus or crucifixions or people's religious beliefs.  But if you are the type who might be offended, then maybe give it a pass....)

I saw this last night for the first time and nearly lost bladder control.

Rock ~ That's perfect! I laughed my arse off all over again watching it. Thanks for posting! I can't believe your year is up already, but welcome back!

Barbe...maybe we should just get tatoo's? Although seriously, with the state of medical care today - it probably wouldn't be enough!

SOI...Tramidol. My new favorite drug. Still don't know why...but at least I'm not being tortured while they figure it out. aaaahhhhhh.

My life is truly a mess right now, I am hanging on by a thread.  I can't talk about it, just yet...but I will.  Please pray for my sanity.      xoxox Angel
