    Some of the stories are hair raising.

    Going down the block she used to yell after us "stomach in - shoulders back -and chin up" just to make us mad- she'd kill me about my posture now. Very dry sense of humor- very funny. She tried to stay away from the really bad stories, but you're right chrissy.

    I remember some of the stories that my granmother used to tell me about what went on here in Aus and belive me, not matter what we think is hard now it is nothing in comparison to then.  The deprivation of the depression and the war years were absolutely terrible.

    Well, I just want to record this somewhere so I will remember it....I am one of these people who unless I write it down or it persists, I will forget it which is why I am not a very good one to ask about AIs and side effects....I say I did not have joint aches and pains, but that is because once they are gone I forget them, however later I did realize I probably was  having pain due to them and I had thought it was arthritis.  Something will happen to me and unless I write it down when I see the onco and he asks how everything is I say Oh, fine.  Well, tonight I am having aches all over the place....my little fingers, my shoulders, my legs, my artificial knee...you name it.  I think it is muscle.  So I woke up and am thinking maybe this is because I had a margarita and several cups of coffee at the wedding reception and I am dehydrated.....but wait, I also drank umpteen glasses of water because the waitress kept refilling my glass and when I am out  that is one good thing, I do get my water in.  So I do not think it is dehydration, but I am not sure what it is.  I had my lst halaven treatment on Wed. and so far not SEs, not even constipation really, but is this a SE?  It was not even listed under common or uncommon.  One good thing, it is the weekend and I can try to treat this myself if it persists....I have muscle relaxants, pain pills and Tylenol and will try them all one at at time and see if anything helps.  All, I know is It is bad.  Any suggestions?....I cannot go soak in a hot tub because I would never be able to get up and out of it.

    Just saying high as I checked the email. Had a quiet Mother's Day - we don't do big things for Mother's Day in our family but it was nice to have lunch with DD1 and then we went shopping.

    Hope you are feeling better soon Marybe. Big gentle hugs coming your way.

    ChrissyB LOL LOL your damn right. That's a classic.......Ahhhhhhhh may be we should have a thread for classics. They would have to be submitted and voted on. Then we make it into a book and the proceeds go to BCO. Now we need ten volunteers-------20----------30?

    wELL WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING. aLL THREADS WOULD HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE PROJECT. Then we would have to have a place on line for the submittals for everyone to review and vote

    Have you ever seen the Darwin Awards they have such a site. I don't know how hard it would be to set that up internally. BUT there are an awful lot of creative people on all the threads.

    Sas.....MInd!   I am flattered that you would add me to the novena. Thank you for your prayers.

    Thanks for trying to vote for me....think you have to have face book.  Hope springs eternal and I have not given up yet.

    Treatment # 2 is today and I am also seeing cardiologist and will tell her all about the clot if they didn't send her reports.

    Now that sounds like a grand idea.  I have read some of the relaxing let the stress go threads on here and some of the girls have me just about to pee my pants with there humour.  Maybe if we just do a post on eacj thread to start and see what sort of reception the idea gets.  What think you...MMM?

    Of course there is the fallaway problem.  Interest may wane. BUT we could do it

    We do a thread header stating what we wish to do, Then the vote thing if it can be done like Darwin Awards--------obviates any personal contact. A good one is put away until, the final talley of what need for a book or e book. then published as one unit and keep adding material and go on to do a 2nd e book Oh yes we must think of copyright with all rights reserved and all proceeds go to BCO
