    Hi Cookiegal,

    I plan on coming to this get together. Omahagirl and I might come in together by car if my hubby drives us or by train. Please count me in.

    Thinking of you all as I dashed into NYU to get copy of my bone scan from last year. People looked pretty cheery as I sprinted down the sidewalks.  Holiday looks pretty good this year. Hugs to all.

    Hey Flash they were sprinting because it is so cold and the cheery was because their faces were frozen LOL  Are you getting all your holiday shopping and decorating done?  I am not shopping or decorating this year, as I am going home and one suitcase is plenty to pay for, so just giving gift cards because they travel light. Can't wait to see you all next month.

    Linda,Have a great trip home to Omaha and enjoy your family.

    Flash-- Glad things are looking up for you this year.

    Tomorrow I will have my family over to celebrate the second night of Chanakah. I can't wait to see my eight year old grand daughter . She loves helping me in the kitchen.

    Enjoy shopping ladies.

    It is sure cold today.

    Hugs,

    Francine

    Hi all:

    I am on Long Island and I would like to meet up with other survivors here on the Island, anyone?

    Hey Big App.....I used to drive to Mellville every day. I was just at the Hilton there last week. Most of my family lives there as well, and my husbands does some fill-in at News 12.

    How about some sort of summertime gtg, and the city girls could come out too!

    Maybe a nice lunch by the water on the north shore, or even the Riverhead Herb farm. Feel free to organize something before that as well. If it is on a week day I could maybe maybe even swing a friends place in Sag Harbor for the day. 

    Anyone else have a place in the Hampons or North Fork or south shore waterfront?

    Feel free to put something together before then. I know some LI gals are going to drive in for 1/21, the location is walking distance from Penn if you want to join us.

    Hey Cookie Gal:

    I have an office out near Melville.I'm actually about 30/45 min out of Manhattan. My doctors are all in the city and I have a fair amount of clients in the city, so city things are doable also.

    Thank you for the invite. I'll have to play it by ear for the 21st, I have a trial starting (G-d help me in Central Islip) on the 22nd, so I'm not sure how late I could stay out that night, given the trek out to Suffolk in the morning.

     Wendy

    I can try and put something together,maybe more toward Long Beach or Rockville Centre for the summer, (its a straight LIRR trip from the city

      Oh...I have been to CI court many times. Agape!

     On the SC side the arraignment side is hard to hear in, and the light is weird.

      It's not my favorite. 

    It's the windiest place on earth I think.

    RobinWendy from BCO is also an attorney, as is my cousin Wendy, so y'all could start an association.

    I have a car,as does my husband, and a lot of the gals as well, so we could caravan anywhere.

    One of these Saturdays I was thinking of taking my car to be serviced in Glen Cove where there is a pancake place next to the Subaru. Pancakes on a cold winter morning sound good.

    If you want you could even do something at your house! (I can't come if there is a cat tho.)

    If you have never been to the Riverhead herb farm it is amazing!!! I would love to have a group go in the spring.

    I have a case with one of the lawyers that is in that whole Agape thing. \

    I do civil stuff so I never get over to arraignments. When ever there is a high profile case, and the place is packed with reporters, there is nothing like people rushing around and announcing to the crowd that you are no one and they buzz back to waiting, it really outs you in your place.

    I do have a cat (an asthmatic with a cat brilliant right) he is mostly outside, but in the winter he hangs inside a lot more (wheeze wheeze)

    The Lawyers named Wendy group, I should start one on facebook.

    hey I'm never one to judge, but for me athsma+cat=attacks.

    You are always welcome on this thread, but maybe a Long Island thread would be good if you want to do GTG's sooner than the spring.

    I am (always) looking for inexpensive east end cotttages to rent, so if I find anything we could have a day out.

    Me too, it is a long story how we wound up with the cat.

    I did start a LI thread, but with surgery the end of this month I don't think I'd be up to anything sooner than the 1/21/gtg anyway, so I will play it by ear so to speak.

    there are a group of LI girls that get together (along with a few nj, ct and others.)  Another option for NYC crowd this summer would be a beach get-together near the Greens Farms station in CT.  Takes under 1 hr from Grand Central. Walkable from the train station.  I can check if people want.  It's a nice quiet beach and has reasonable facilities.

    The beach thing sounds like a great day get away.

    Have a great happy and healthy holiday.

    Flash that sounds great (though right now a swimsuit is terrifying my top shrunk and my bottom expanded!).

    There are 2 beach things in Ct on my list, there is some island beach you take a ferry to from Greenwich, and Fischer's Island. Yours sounds great too.

    Jones Beach is always an option in the summer...... My home away from home! Between Memorial Day and Labor day, the LIRR has beach service to the Freeport station, which is on the Babylon branch, then you can take a bus down to the beach. It'll let you off right at the Central Mall.

    I'll have to get my brain working to think of something else to do on Long Island before the summer. There's dozens of things to do here, but my mind is more on Chrismas mode than warm weather mode! Cry

    So Chelev will not be at the boat show....she would send us free tickets though if we like.

    I will probably be in the midst of chemo or at later part of rads, so, it's a toss up for me.

    I lean towards us still doing it, it would be nice to look forward to warmer days and it's fun to go on the boats, but it's up to you guys since I suspect I won't be feelin so hot by then.

    cookie, you may be surprised how you feel.  I bopped in and out of NYC when I was doing chemo.  Obviously you have to be careful about infection (wash hands, wash hands, wash hands) but cross the bridge when you get to it.  I would vote we still do it. 

    bone scan and spect results in next week but tec told me bones looked good.  Into NYU tomorrow for the annual gyn ultrasound, oh joy.  You think when there's almost nothing left that I could pass on that lovely task but Nooooooooooo. that would be too eassssssssssssy. Sigh.  Take care all.

    Hi ,

    I too would try to visit the boat show. Might to fun. Let's all hope for good weather.

    We could go earlier and eat earlier.

    Cookie..I agree that one does not know how you will feel during chemo. My first week  I was a little off but after that I was fine for two weeks. I assume you have not made your decision just yet.

    Flash ..Glad all looks good for you so far. Good luck at the gyno .

    Hugs,

    Francine

    I am mum on the boat show for now but would love to get together....I got a job!  I start Jan 4th!  I thought I would be working from home...but now I hear I have to show up in an office...sooooo...will have to see what time these people get out of the office.  I am lurking about this issue until I figure it out!

    Cookiegal....hope you are coming to some peace regarding a decision....

    God Bless!

    Ok...boat show is on.....here is the other option, the Thursday was based on Chelevs schedule, so we could really do any day we want.

    If we go with a weeknight, we still have to accomodate people getting off work, but for commuters a weeknight could be better than making the extra trip to the city.

    Will be towards end of rads by then. I think. Simulation is tomorrow.

    The Friday works best for me, but of course there is a caveat.I woke up yesterday with an infection in my rads side, and was admitted to Memorial Sloan yesterday, today they had to take the implant out and we are waiting on cultures, so depending on what they are doing to me.Hopefully I will be up to it.The earlier days in the week (anything before Thursday) don't work well for me, the weekend I like to spend with my daughter, she really took this setback very very hard, she has never cried since this thing stated in 2002, but she really lost it on this setback, so I am anticipating a lot of separation anxiety on her behalf.

    Oh big apple sorry to hear you are not well. I was just at sloan today, I could have dropped by.

    The Boat show isn't untill January....so hopefully you and your daughter will be feeling happier by then.

    I am leaning towards Saturday, but I will let majority rule.

    Just stopping by to say hello. 

    BigApple - you're the second person I've heard about in the past week who was hospitalized at Sloan for post-rads infection.  WTF???????????????   I thought rads was supposed to be easy!

    Seeing Dr. Karp today, I'd try to meet up w/you briefly Flash, but while he's an NYU doc, his office isn't at NYU.

    I hope to have a decision made by New Year's/early Jan - and prob won't be able to get into surgery THAT quickly - so will prob do the boat show gtg.  I'll check the dates.

    Wishing all of you the best.

    OK ladies, what if anything do we know about Nolan Karp (PS/NYU)?  I think I might go with Guth and Karp....

    Just bought snow booties at Century 21 (it's across the street from work), the place was a madhouse.  I hope I don't regret getting the lower height ones instead of the more knee-hi ones!
