    kal - thank you for that great story! It must have been a very touching ceremony, so glad he was finally honored.

    Hope your Josie gets better soon. My little dog Molly has been sick the last few days, too. I finally figured out that she must have gotten ill from the Round-Up the landscaper sprayed on some weeds Tuesday. It was so hard to determine because her symptoms were seemingly unrelated, but I finally made the connection. It's been like caring for an infant around here. She is definitely getting better, but very slowly. I expect it will take about 2 weeks.

    Normally, after we walk her, she comes inside and licks her paws and grooms herself (she was raised by cats). But I figured it got on her feet and then she ingested it. Her main symptoms were hind leg weakness and difficulty swallowing, so we have been carrying her and feeding her soft food. She licks water from a dropper, but lately, once in a while I have heard her drinking from her bowl. And she eats her dry food every now and then, too. But it has taken 6 days to get this far.

    I don't know if your cat ever goes outside, but I was totally caught off guard about the dangers of Round-Up for little pets.

    heartansoul76 my gosh what a story!! my little josie has not traveled past the threshold of any of my doors, she has remained inside all her life but I can't help to think that my cold dank basement may have developed issues for her.  i hope that was not the case, i just want to be selfish and spend more time with her.

    I am so glad that i was witness to my friend John's ceremony today on Memorial Day. I could not have spent the day in a more fitting way.  He is one of the only persons that I know that has experienced war and is willing to share his stories personally; the love the atrocities, it was a very moving day!

    Is it just my defective brain, or did we never hear back from suzwes or mumayan on how that "Thrivers' Cruise" went?

    Just got back from Manhattan to see my BS and she couldn't aspirate because the seroma has a hard covering, she said it would probably just fill back up too! Darn it it is so annoying. We also had a long talk about my future as a high risk patient and I told her if I could just have one MRI that didn't light up then I will take a year just to enjoy and then have my DIEP and she actually didn't try to talk me out of it this time, that kinda of scared me! It made me very sad today to see so many very young women in her office so very ill, just walking in there always puts me close to tears, have I told ya'all lately that I hate BC.

    Well I have to pack so hope every one is having a good week, I probably won't be back on here for a little while.

    Hugs,

    Linda

    Eli and Joni, I saw pics of the cruise too, and comments from the ladies about what a great time they had. I'm on a few sites with them so can't say for sure which it was!!!

    OG, I hope the rest of your week is better than the beginning hon.

    Hmmmm.........some great looking housekeepers!!!!

    RE:  pets and chemicals.  I read an article about a year ago, maybe a little longer that we (pet owners) have to be careful about walking our pets or letting them outdoors, not only in our yards, but the yards of our neighbors because we don't know if the neighbors have recently sprayed or put pellets in the yard for weeds or pest control.  Our pets can get really sick by licking their paws after walking in or on these chemicals.  We've always tried to be careful in our yard, but in all honesty, I would have never thought of the chemicals in our neighbors yards. 

    I hope that all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend and the story of the award given so many years later was beautiful.

    Ooooh, it looks like the search for the "Perfect Man" is on again.

    [For newbies, and sort-of-newbies, way back in (what I call the Renaissance Period) this thread we put together the "Perfect Man."  When the project was all finished, he ended up looking like Gerard Butler (the actor), and was an expert at doing laundry wearing no clothing.  He circulated around to the Mid-Age gals that were feeling low and in need of his "household services," but he went missing months ago...]

    That bring us to the question, chest hair or no chest hair?

                                  

    Barbe, we know how you stand.  I say some chest hair too (but no back hair, please!)

    But don't forget, even tho' the search is on, we are open for the usual business of B/C info., support, and channelling any rants you might need get out.  The topics jump around on this thread and by now we are pretty used to it.

    Hmm.  Some chest hair is ok, but not too much. 

    This is ok: 

    This is NOT ok:

    Or, in the oiled/sweaty, shaved category, Christian Bale is a candidate.  As with most of the bare-chested hunks, he can grow his back in as you like.  Same thing with the facial hair...if he's a hottie, he can shave before he pays you a visit. 

                                   

    The only thing, I think Christian might be too uppity to pick up a toilet brush, and he might leave a sweat smudge on the windows.  On the good side, you can have him thin or muscled up hunk, your choice.  Normally rather thin, he put on 100+ lbs. (of muscle, dahlings!) for his Batman role, but had to drop 40 when the costumes would not fit.
