    Thanks Barb, but I think it is lost cause.  I guess I don't have as many friends as I thought I did because there are only something like 10 votes cast as of this morning.  Oh well, I am going on a trip anyway even if don't have miles to pay for it with.  Finally got all my stuff submitted today and think I better go soon....called to find out the CA27/29 which they forgot to run Wed., but the nurse said they could still do.....2,709!!!!! Ouch!!

    Barbara, I'm glad you found your copy of our Mt. Everest picture.  Mine seems to have gotten lost when that band of gypsies invaded my home a while back. Remember that? Oh well, bygones :)

    Lisa, doesn't matter what pictures were already posted here, please continue to share your personal favorites, they are truly worth seeing more than once.

    Oh Marybe, for the first time ever, I wish I had joined facebook; I'd vote for you too.

    Lisa, we're happy with re-runs of your pix!!!

    I forgot about Mt Everest trip...  Sorry to hear about the band of gypsies Marlegal -- maybe Isabella's friends can get your copy back for you.

    Eph3.....no, 2,709 are what my tumor markers are, the CA27.29......it would almost be better if it were $$$$$s we were talking about...but I am hoping this new chemo takes them back down. 

    I totally understand about not being on FB.....I am only on there with some of the BC gals and know I make some other people mad, but not accepting their invites to be friends. but I hear from people who never even talked to me in HS so what do I want to be friends with them now for?  But thank you all for saying you would have voted. 

    Lisa, you can post and repost pics any old time.   I am serious about Bruges and again ran into someone today who said they had been there when I was talking about it.  On my bucket list for sure.

    LostCreek, thanks, I'll wait and see if Isabella sends me the contact info. I mean, it wasn't just the pictures, it was also my youth and looks that they stole!!!

    Hey, just because I have stepped , very briefly, into the world of gypsies, I don't know where those old pics got to !! Tho' I'll have a word with my friend the gypsy aka Elvis  (hehehe....his REAL name)  and see if he could help.

    It is a full week since I went to the gypsy wedding, and I am still not caught up. All I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep. I never touched a drop of alcohol either....must have downed about a million Coca Colas though, seemed to be on a permanent trip to the toilet. Probably, in the end, it is down to age !!!

    On my way to bed early, AGAIN, and its only 11.30pm here. I fell asleep onto my screen last night !!

    Isabella.

    Bella, those away weddings take it out of me too, truly.  Of course, I do enjoy a few drinks when I'm being social (no comments ladies...Bella doesn't know me well!!) and I know that makes the recuperation even worse, but old dogs/new tricks and all that.

    Joni and Lisa, I think if we ever catch those marauders we'll find lots of beauty and youth among them!!!!

    Teklya - glad you found us!  We welcome you to the party!  No RSVP required.

    Marybe - Praying that the new treatment brings those numbers down, down, down.

    Barb - I am selling it to DM for her DS birthday.

    Those marauders may have taken my youth but I seem to have found a lot of weight they left behind.  (I still have my beauty..hehehehhehe Innocent )

    I love those windmill shots, Lisa! The reflection in the water is so cool!

    Makes me want to put on my traveling shoes!

    OMG, I took a break from my genealogy research to take my car in to have the clutch fixed - $1690.00!!!! I said, you gotta be kidding me - I was expecting maybe $600. He said, well they have to take out the transmission to get to the clutch, and I said what kind of engineers are they?? It's a Saab. Oh my gosh, I don't know what to do...with everything else that needs to be done it comes to about $2500, but the blue book value of the car is about $6400 soooooo.....I don't know.

    HnS, I had a Saab also back in the 80's and every time I took it in it was $600 or more. I got a Subaru Outback and in ten years, spent around 1K. Have a Lexus RX350 now and it is way cheaper than my Saab. Just sayin'. (Dirty secret - LOVED my red Saab.)

    AmyJo, that is so sweet of you! Bry will LOVE it!

    3jays, prayers going up that this guy will be 'the one' who can really help. I have everything crossed! Let us know how it goes.
