    ((( Barbara ))) I'm sorry you're in a bad mood.  Sending big hugs. Do I need to get out my baseball bat?!?

    Riley,

    I haven't "met" you yet, but I searched your name & Hadley's to figure out what was happening - and PTO, and I'm still in AWE of how wonderful women on these boards can be - and I sure wish someone would SCREAM (yup, all caps) this to those folks making up "reviews" for bc.org.

    THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING A PART OF THIS WONDERFUL WORLD.  ISY, YSN - and it's getting cooler  in the northeast after the boomers...

    Morning Girls :)

    Go and look at that Review site - it's gone feral. Comments bagging BCO all over the place. They also mention a lot of us by our screen names on here - it there a law against that? Blue,Athena,Me and some others. Why on earth would they allow comments on a person's review?

    CS, those reviewes are very sad to read but it's quite obvious what's going on.

    (((((Barbara))))). I dunno what I'm having. Planned to have some Japanese food at lunch and then some fruit for dinner, but plan was foiled by the boss who called a meeting at lunchtime. Boo, hiss! So lunch was a whole wheat pita and the rest of a tub of hummus. Now I have to find something for dinner. Maybe leftover fried chicken? Or a Lean Cuisine? Athena, the sour cream & onion chips sound good!

    Sad. It hurts no one but BCO itself. As for the rest, who cares, really?

    Oh take screen shots.  That can be pursued.  The webmistress would have to cooperate regarding ip addresses and computer id's.  I can't be bothered, but it does say more about the writers than about the people they mention.

    Athena, I think all they need are 10 good reviews. It is a well known fact that people who are satisfied usually don't take the time to write a review.

    I actually wrote to that site and warned them and complained that they were using our screen names from here. I bet BCO wouldn't be pleased - talk about feral!!!

    I was really shocked by what I read at the Review site today.  What a shame to see so much vengefullness directed at BCO.  And the same negative comments are on almost every single review.  Apparently, there is no moderation at the Review site.  What a sad state of affairs.  I hate to see BCO so terribly wronged.  It's just not right.

    Especially since the mods are working so hard and have implemented some positive changes.

    Ladies....I just made my review and it was positive! I love BCO and am so thankful I found it right after I was diagnosed. I think it is terrible the way it is be portrayed. I have gotten so much information and support from here.

    I might write to the mods tonight to let them know what's going on over there - can't do it now as I don't have the link at work.

    One review that had given 5 stars had a comment added about how the threads were going crazy here yesterday. It seems they are adding comments to the reviews that are good trying to disprove them.

    Riley,

    Bless you and your generous gift to Hadley.  (I had to look up "PTO" as I wasn't sure what it meant.)

    Chips AND a hamburger AND a baked sweet potato (so that makes it healthy, right?)

    ETA: And lots of M&M chocolate ice cream

    Patty, it is a good thing that you gave a positive review. I looked and there is some strange stuff going on over there. Feral is a good word, C-S. Obsessive describes it, too. I really hate to think of some woman scared blind by a cancer diagnosis being scared away from this wonderful, supportive site by a bunch of women with personal vendettas against members here. Consciencelesss.

    PattyS, Hi.  I just visited the review site and I'm glad you posted a favorable review.  I can't believe that one poster posted the same strange comment on every review.

    Riley, I just read what you did and I'm speechless - what a wonderful heart you have!

    Dinner here was gluten free pizza with tons of peppers and onions and a little bit of ham on top.

    I had my stress test today (chemical kind) and didn't have any pain or strange symptoms during the procedure so I expect to get good news on that.  So maybe the combination of heat and asthma has just been kicking my butt.

    This shows how good always triumphs over evil. Riley's deed speaks louder than efforts to undermine BCO.

    Leftover store-bought fried chicken breast and a glass of milk, consumed while fighting off a cat who kept insisting her father FORGOT to feed her. Now I am staring at a package of Keebler Coconut dreams cookies, which are Keeble's version of Samoas. I am waiting for them to start jumping out of the package into my mouth. I may have to help them. I still have half a glass of milk left, and it needs company.



    R_R, I'm set up for a stress test (the treadmill kind) next week as part of my pre-surgery workup. I'll be thinking about you when I do it ... I sure hope you will have good results by then!

    *embarrassed* Hadley and I and another poster named Cindy met and had lunch. Hadley is good people, too; such a sweetie and we hit it off immediately. If we didn't work at the same organization (but different hospitals), I wouldn't have been able to donate time to her, so it was a bit of serendipity that she got that job here! It just felt meant to be, ya know?

    And then I promptly trashed all that good karma by having a large Quizno's sub (ham, cheese and bacon - my only nod to healthy eating was the artisan wheat bread, and that was only because it's SO good!) and a large Pepsi. And I may have ice cream before the day is done!

    HL, you just painted a picture that has me giggling.

    Good luck with your stress test.  I had one of the treadmill ones a couple of years ago and it was ok to do.   I just opted for the chemical kind this time because I've been so tight-chested and short of breath.
