Bonfire of the Goddesses

I live in a 62 and over bldg.and i was not home while i was doing tx.when i came home someone told me we thought you were dead.people talk and we cannot stop it.I said while i was all dressed up with high heels and makeup on DO I LOOK DEAD?????those are the people who dont know anything about what I had.

old people (except me) have nothing to do so they talk.lets not throw them into the fire...they just need to get a life.Slowly Im learning how to detach.thank you Jo for this thread where ever it takes us....hugggggggs K

I'm telling you!  That bonfire is MAGICAL!!!!  Once you toss something in it and turn around and walk away, life somehow feels better!  And those embers sure sooth my aching shoulder too!

I am going to toss in the kind person who wrote me an email telling me that this was a sign for me....to 'offload' on someone? offload on her? I don't even remember which of my courses she was on...bless her for being kind but seriously....I want to throw in all the people who are talking about my health and then seeing me and saying "Well you look great!" as if they are shocked..how am I supposed to look? Like cyclops? are they expecting to see a brand on my forehead saying breast cancer? heart attack victim? or is it survivor....ARGH!!! in the well wishers go tonight...not in the mood for them!

It's the word 'now" isn't it or, he one I love ight now "Well (big pause), you LooK good " (with the intonation on look as if you aren't but the packaging is ok)...or looks can be deceiving?

I like this thread....had never looked at it until Voracious told me about it.  I am on my lunch hour right now but am sure given a little time I can come up with plenty of things to add to the blaze.  Luan, I think you should go right back to that grocery store and tell that nasty cashier This is the best I can do for now, or do you prefer this look?and rip your wig off.  Give her a sweet smile as she is standing there with her mouth gaping open and feeling like the little tiny worm that she is and walk off. 

I think you ladies should write the company and let them know how many of you use that shampoo!!! As for throwing in discontinued stuff..every time I find a soap I like or a shampoo, it is discontinued!!! no enough gray in my hair to worry but it is often a curly tangled mess so anything that gets through it is in my good books..assuming it does not have parabens etc!

Thank you, ValGal, for asking about Drugstore.com.  Yep!  We tried.  Nope!  They're out of stock! 

I'm going to also throw the words, "New and Improved" into the fire.  That's what the Jhirmack shampoo label said!  I don't know what the previous one was like..."New and Improved" is a gimmick just to make you buy a damn product.  If the old one was good...why improve upon it?  When thinking of "improving" some product... the word "Coke" should come to mind and everyone should just call it a day.

So, today...onto the fire goes "New and Improved."  It joins, if anyone has been following my posts,  "Again,"  "Recurrence,"  "Facebook," "NONSENSE," and "Discontinued." 

Yup, toss in all the cliches:  you look great; stay positive; well, I could get hit by a bus; are you okay now...

And while I wouldn't throw a person on the bonfire, I sure would like to put all the bad feelings associated with it there.  I'm now tossing my toxic anger at a friend who used to judge me about not being as great a friend as I could be, who said we were like family, who made my wedding dress, who wrote me thousands of emails and hosted me when I visited her country...who wrote and said "I trust all is going well with radiation" and when it wasn't, never wrote back.  That was five months ago.

I'd also like to unload my feelings towards our former house co-owners, who when we tried to sell our property when I got diagnosed, did everything in their power to slow the deal and make sure they got the most money possible.  

Oh, and how could I leave this one out:  my cousin who never bothered to call and wrote after it was all over "sorry I fell off the grid".  Well, sorry, you don't get a repeat to make it up to me, honey.

While we are at it and I'm in a crabby mood about the topic today, I'd like to throw in all the times  have to explain that my sh***y haircut you all know looks horrible, not cute, was a product of treatment.

I think the #1 thing I hate about cancer:  having to face the fact that people I considered close friends can be ruthless, uncaring, and narcissistic.

Yay, bonfire!

how about all the new and improved stuff that still have parabins and sulfates in it?????

what did they improve????

I have sooo much soap as now im only using dove for sensitive skin,tons of body cream that each and every expensive one has all thes wonderful flowers etc.and parabins.ALL THE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE PARABINS AND SULFATES IN MY APT ALONE CAN MAKE ANOTHER EXPLOSION......

stay away from the fire.im goin to the BS in a few min.im scared and mad....look out.

I need to toss whoever told an old colleague of mine about my recent 'health situation'....the person wrote to say "I know you do't want people knowing but I just had to write"...really? did you? If I have said I don't want people knowing until I ell them ...and someone tells you anyhow and you know....keep it to yourself....I know people are being kind...I know people are stunned by the news and feel they need to say something....I know...I know...I know....really, I know....but I did not tell you....so pretend you don't know....

then again...how the heck does anyone know I feel that way right? oh..I know....I told them! so in go the well wishers who can't keep their mouths shut....just temporarily..they can come back out if they promise not to tell anyone else.
