    LOL!!!  Now I get it Diane.  I am a little slow tonight due to the dessert, LOL!  That could work too.  Do you have ideas for the acronym for your last name?  Journey? 

    It is still freakin snowing out!

    No school tomorrow already.  Guess they don't have confidence in the snow plow people.  Or do they need more time to clear their own driveways? 

    I guess it was a record snowfall for us - most snow in a 24-hr period - a little more than the record in Feb, 2006.  I don't know - I feel as though we had snows like this when I was a kid....

    We had white Christmas, New Years, who knows maybe white valentine's Day.

    I have a feeling this snow will keep coming and coming......

    Me too Chris.  We definitely had snow like this!  My youngest has a one hour delay and my oldest school has not posted anything yet.  I am going to bed and will deal with it all in the morning.

    Sweet dreams everyone!

    Cowgirls, LOL.   Kinda like the mammo techs at my prev. place of employment,  at halloween,  ya know pinktober.  one year that dressed as bees, (boo bees),  the next year they dressed in pink camo outfits ( mammoflauge).  I thought it kinda tasteless then (before BC), now I see it as really, really, absolutely tasteless. Or is it just me. I'm sure they dressed up a time or 2 before or after those 2 times, but chemo brain won't let me remember right now.

    beccad - I think it would help me take my mind off the great BC to encounter mammoflauge or boo bees - I need all the humor I can get to fight my way through this. We are thankfully all different and that makes the world a much more interesting place than it would be otherwise.

    BTW, Cowgirls does not refer to mammaries in this case....though I can now see that others may see it that way.

    I have to think that those mammo techs were all to familiar with BC and the women it touches, so maybe giving some levity to it was their way of saying they care.  We do need humor through this ordeal.

    Some of their patients thought it was funny and some came to me crying.  I was doing thier bone scans on the same day.

    That's a shame.  You never know how that sort of humor will be received.

    I love humor in most everything that's how I survived my BC and so many other things life threw  on my face.

    I'm really grateful to all my friends here where i can wake up in the morning and proudly say I belong and get cranky like this morning.

    I have a long day dealing with my fathers's extreme crankiness.

    Please think about me. Last night when I spoke to him wasn't very pleasant. Okay everybody's saying he is an old man.

    If I'm gonna become like him I don't want to be an old woman

    Sorry for the venting

    Good Morning♥

    It is your sweet self that you need to take to that hospital room and Mr. Cranky.  You will do fine, have faith in yourself.  You won't be a nasty old woman, I am sure.

    Have a good day Sheila, Meece, Linda, Deb, Chris and anyone else on here....

    I have rads, DD to the orthodontist, trainer, young woman who needs help with her applications, then taking a 21 year old for her first legal drink.  She grew up as our neighbor and this will be fun.  Then the girls - the 21 yo, my DD, and the sister of the 21 yo are all going to pedicures at the all natural place where on Thursday nights they serve wine and play movies.....

    Hope you are digging out!

    Will be thinking of you Sheila.  ((((((((((((((((Sheila)))))))))))))))))

    I think you need to do what my DH does.  He says it's "their problem."  I hate that he always puts everything off on everyone else, but in this case, I think it's warranted.  You be your sweet self, help him as much as you can, and if it's not enough - that's his problem.  There's nothing more you can do.  I hate that you are going through this.  :(

    I'm pretty cranky now - so if I get old - watch out!  just kidding

    I can see both sides of the mammoflague - boo-bee issue.   I think it's kind of clever, but I can also see how it could freak someone out.  It depends on how fragile their emotional state is at the time.  Personally, I like to laugh at as much as I can.  And depending on my mood - the darker the humor the funnier.  But if you aren't in that kind of mood, it can be offensive. 

    I am/have been? a cancer patient and I still have no idea what to say to people;  people take things so differently.

    "I am/have been? a cancer patient and I still have no idea what to say to people;  people take things so differently."

    I agree.  You just have to test the waters.  Once the ice has been broken it is easier to know if you can joke with the person.

    Hi everyone!  I think your sweet too Sheila.  Everyone here is!!

    Have fun with the 21 year olds.  Busy day.

    I have a busy day too.  My son is getting braces at 1, then guitar lessons then the awards banquet.

    I still hate snow!

    I love to watch it snow, and to enjoy seeing it when I can be inside, but hate to be wet and cold from being out in it.

    They got him out faster than they got him in!  Good luck Sheila!  Keep us posted.

    Window repair of yesterday was hugely unsuccessful - leaking worse than ever.  Oh, the joys of a brand new house.  Mfr blames builder, builder blames mfr.  Another great day.  I feel like I need that magic orange juice from the commercials where everyone provides a rundown of what the day ahead will hold and it is all made better by OJ.

    Ugh - new houses.  they just don't build 'em like they used to.  We still have rooms we haven't painted because we have to fix the walls first and haven't gotten up to motivation to get them all done - in 17 years!  Talk about lazy. But if they had been done right in the first place...

    Hope your day is going well, Linda.  How are the teeth?  Hope your DS doesn't hurt too much.  I rescheduled my son's braces 'til the 26th because of the concert. Now we don't even know when the concert is going to be!  Watch it be the 26th! 

    Hope Deb got good news from the doctor today.  Hope things are going smoothly for Sheila.

    I am waiting for my MIL to hear from the doctor about my FIL so I can go bring her to the hospital to visit him.  Now does that make any sense?  She is stuck home all day waiting to get info from the doctor when she could be AT the hospital visiting the patient.  I hate how screwed up medical care is.  I think it would be better if she had a cell phone - but you know how older people can be about things being too complicated.   Then again, I was having trouble figuring out Facebook!  Waaaah - I'm getting old!

What a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He said see you in 5 yrs.  I'll be 64 yr old by then.

    I mentioned to him that I woke up and saw the removal of the polyp and putting the clip on.  He said he prefers to put the clip to stop the weeping rather than have ppl come back in for another check up. I have pictures, wanna see em? LOL

    Deb.....Happy Happy Happy for the good news. lalalalalalala

    Hi All. Its been a long and stressful day.

    My father is doing well, but he never admits he is okay.

    I was there 2 hours, tried very hard to remain calm and told him he needs help.

    Now Hospital called me that he is ready to be discharged this was around 6 this evening.

    They must be kidding right. Nurse said no when I asked.

    Anyway i said you cant discharge him without proper notice. He is coming home tomorrow and home aide will be there in the afternoon.

    I hope everything works out with the girl?????????????

    Its so sad he is a very unhappy and unappreciative man and pushing everybody away from him.

    My conscious is clean. I did everything possible.

    Now i take care of myself.

    I join Diane for desserts laterWink

    And its so cold outside my cheeks became numb. Taxi one way and walked home needed the fresh air.
