New York, New York

thanks sweaty, knew u'd know the amount.  I totally agree that I'm sick of snow.  We never get snow like this at this tiem of year it's always later when we know it will melt.  Somehow I think this is going to be in my way for a few weeks at least.

cookie- nudge, nudge.  are you there????

so who do we definitely have for the 5th?

Hi Flash,

I have you all in my calendar. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. The only thing is that I am still undergoing chemo (1 chemo left on the 10th of February) and if I have nasty residual side effects on the Saturday of our meeting, I might not be able to come to the city at all. But I am thinking good thoughts and hoping that it won't happen. Meaning that all my side effects will subside by the time we meet. Though, the end of Ferbruary or the beginnig of March would have been a little better for me to meet, as I had gotten weaker and weaker with each infusions I had been getting so far, but I really really would like to meet you all and i'll try to pull myself together by then. -----Only one more chemo to go, hooray!

Thanks CityKitty. I hope to meet you and all the other ladies as well. I am really really really trying to hang in there, diarrhea and all..... Thanks.

I'm planning a trip to Bensonhurst for St. Agatha's booby pastries on Friday... can we get a head count? And isn't it amazing that we are actually meeting on her day, Feb. 5? 

Weather permitting, and if the LIRR is back up and running again I'll be there! I just love the pastry idea! Whoda thunk it with the get togeter being on St. Agatha's Feast Day! Here I thought it was only my brother's birthday.

so what do you think.  Are we going to have more snow on sat?????? geeeesh.  I'm coming into nyc come he.. or high water. Going stir crazy.

regards,

Looks like the weather is going to be a repeat of Wedensday! Grrrrrrrrrrr...........

I'm also starting to go stir crazy. I'm just hoping that the weather people are wrong. It seems like the only thing that I've been doing is digging out and going to work.

I am going to be at a pharma conference at the Javits in late March if any NYC sistahs wanna meet up one night...

I'm set for today! To confirm: 4 p.m., Lemongrass Grill, 138 E 34th St, should be near NYU cancer Ctr, correct?



Let's hope the weather doesn't get horrible! Can't wait to meet y'all!

At work across from Grand Central.  Restaurant is on 34th betw Lex and 3rd, just a few doors west of the NYU cancer ctr.  Rain (more like mist, really) in Manhattan.  No weather worries once you're here.

Tweety, if you can get to and from your local LIRR sta you'll be fine.

Edited to add:  HAPPY ST AGATHA'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!

It changed over to rain here, and with all the rain and snow melting there's a chance of some big time flooding in Bayville, and if I end up leaving there's a good chance that I might not be able to get back home. There's only 1 way in and out of town, that is along Oyster Bay Harbor, and they usually close that road down with any little chance of flooding.

I'll be taking a rain/snow check, and hope to meet up with you all at the next get together.

wohoooooooooooooooooooooooo. Thank you all for coming in.  I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.  cookie- you get the award for the longest commute!  so glad you were able to make it city and giraffe.  Kitchen and Sweaty, next time, I get to sit near you so we can chat more.

So, your mission (and this means all of you) is to find another place that we can take over and camp out for a few hours.  any ideas? 

hugs all.
