    Eph, Believe me, I noticed.  I know we commemorated the 100th page, then the 200th, then it kind of got off track when there was a celebration for the 250th page (?), and at that point we were celebrating any given day of the week, so I didn't even mention it.

    I will tell you two things.  One, I am celebrating privately, just me and my personal use Girl Scout cookies (pictured.)  I'm sorry, as you can see I got the bare minimum.  I did not get enough to share. I will borrow my buddy's extended cab pick-up next year so I can have enough to offer to others.  

                                       GIRL SCOUT COOKIESGIRL SCOUT COOKIESGIRL SCOUT COOKIES

    (If you read anything I write on this thread, just come to expect some embellishment.  If I were posting this information on the Elab thread, I might say I ate half of a shortbread cookie.  It's not really telling a lie, it's just writing for "a certain audience."  The actual truth about me and the cookies, is somewhere in the vast area between the two.  Hee-hee-hee.)

    And two, in my mind a REAL BIG milestone should be coming up in maybe a month when we hit 10,000 posts.  TEN THOUSAND.  They weren't all me, I swear.  I already have something in mind for that big shindig, and everyone will get their invitations well in advance so all will be quite ready to party when the time comes

    jo, Considering you joined 16 months after I did, I would say you did!  You are about to surpass my number of posts.  Pretty soon you will be giving Barbe a run for her money.

    Got my first hair cut post chemo last night.  Went to my hair dresser whom I have not seen in over six months had to check to make sure she was still there.  It was mostly a trim and got charged for men's cut.  Will post a new picture when I figure out how it all works.  Still working on that.  I read most post some.  Love ya'lls wittyness.

    Ah yes-Girl Scout cookies.  I remember fondly our discussions last February about the wonderful treat.  My NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR girl is a Girl Scout-I have UNLIMITED ACCESS until the ordering deadline passes!  Current inventory: in the big freezer 3 boxes of Thin Mints (1 sleeve missing), 2 boxes of Samoas, and 1 box of Tagalogs.  In the frig freezer-1 of each of the aforementioned!  Yummy!

    Got word on my Dad today and he has non-small cell lung carcinoma (Squamish) and it has mets to his ribs.  We all know here that is not good news.  I have to take him to get his simulation for his rads treatments next wed and they will also do a pet scan instead of ct scan for the planning and that will also give us the rest of the information we need like if it has gone to his lymph nodes or other places.  He has said he does not want to do Chemo, but I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.  I do hope he changes his mind, but I have to remind myself that it is his decision to make. He is not in good health and his first wife died of cancer so he knows what chemo does to the body and he says he just does not want to go through that.  I remind him that research has come along way and yes chemo is hard on the body but they have made improvements since his first wife died.  My mom is not taking this very well at all.  I think it is just way to soon since I was diag and she just is not coping very well.  She was pretty good about llistening to what I said about me and I think not trying to worry but now she keeps asking me over and over if I am going to be OK.  I keep trying to assure her I was early stage and I have a very good prognosis, but she still worries.  She has always been a take charge person and we all know how cancer does not let you take charge, you learn to cope a little differently so it is driving her crazy, the waiting etc.  Please pray for my family it has been a rough couple of years as my sister in law died a year ago of breast cancer, then me diag with BC  5 months ago and now my dad with lung mets.  I am ready for cancer to leave my family alone.

     Hi all I remember when my daughter was a girl Scout she was top cookie seller in her troop.  It is easy taking orders but when you have to deliver 250 boxes now that's a lot.  I am suppose to have pet scan done tomorrow but they havn't called today.  I am a little worried because insurance told we they need more info to see if they will pay for it.  Should I go or do I wait until I know I don't have the money if they don't approve it.  Need all your prayers that everything is done right and fast.  Thanks

    Lynniea-chance are they will probably approve it, but they are expensive.  I don't see what a couple more days of waiting would hurt and find out for sure if they will pay or not. If not then maybe you can talk to the social worker about your options.

    Lynniea, I would also say wait to make sure insurance does cover you.  Get on the phone and tell them you need a determination quick.  Tell them you have done a lot of waiting so far and it's making you crazy.  Can you sound a little crazy when you say that?  Also have the office staff trying to get the same information.  Between the two of you working it from both ends, you should be able to get the answer without too much waiting.

    Sherryc, I wish it were better news for you dad.  All you can really do is let him lean on you as much as he cares to.  Then, let your mom lean on you some too.  At least you have first hand knowledge of some of the treatment he will get, and can help talk him through his decisions.  I think A LOT of people's first reaction is to say "no chemo" but it is always something he could try and see how it works for him.  On the other hand, that type of LC (squamous) may not be one that is very responsive to chemo, so definitely look at the risks vs. benefits with him on that.

    VickiSam, I hope someone else fills you in on the pics.  I've got dinner burning in the oven right now, but if no one else pipes up, I can try to help in a bit.

    sherryc-so sorry about the cancer running rampant in your family right now.  I hope that your Dad is able to make the best choice for him.  VickiSam-click on your name & go to edit your profile.  There is a place in there to attach a photo from your computer's pictures-I am not a techie, but I was finally able to figure it out.  Maybe someone else can walk you thru.

    Vicki, Yep, that is how I put on my pic too.  Just from my own digital pic on my computer.  But for the other pics, generally I use a site like Photobucket and click on the link to "share" and then you have to copy the http line, and to put it in a post, you click on that little green tree icon above the box that you type your message in here, and you will paste the line in there to insert a pic into your message.  To put your own pictures into a thread, you have to upload them to a site like Photobucket to do it.  (Well, that is the only way that has worked for me.)  Play around with it a bit.  Good Luck!

    Sherry I'll definitely add your Dad to my prayer list.  Hugs to you too...the worrying and planning is so hard.

    Lynn I hope you were able to reach the insurance company and find out about the coverage.

    Vicki if I have a picture on either Snapfish or my Facebook account, I just right-click and copy, and then right-click and paste into my post and that works for me.  If I want to put in a picture from Google Images or something like that, the right-click choices for copy and paste work there too.  Have fun with experimenting!!

    Sherry - Will say extra prayers for your family.  So sorry the cancer beast has invaded your family.  Let him take comfort in your love and support.  He will make a decision based on what he wants. Everyone is here for you just know that.

    Lynn - You will be just fine waiting a day or two to see if your insurance will pay for the scans.  They are really expensive and you may have to look at other payment options if they do not come through.
