    Thanks for the tip, AmyJo.  I'll pick up some kiwis tomorrow!  I'd have never thought of that and I'll be glad to stop floating in V-8!

    Hey you lot this is a kiwi

    This is a kiwifruit 

    So  I always do a double take when you talk about kiwis - the fruit. Also we refer to ourselves as Kiwis. So Kathy what sort of Kiwis are you going to pick up??? How about these two?

    DH has just reminded me that our dollar is also the Kiwi.

    3jays: Happy dancing right with ya, girl!  Thanks!

    Lyn: Glad to see you back and that your surgery went well and congrats that there was no node involvement (same for me!).  I think the oncotype score tells them whether or not chemo will do you any good.  The lower the score the better.  Hope your drains come out quickly! When my last one was pulled, the stitch that was holding it in place had actually ripped my skin about a quarter of an inch by the time I got it out.  Guess it was from the weight of the fluid and how many time I bumped it or accidentally pulled on it.  It feels so good to have it out!

    Alyson...many moons ago when I wore a green gymslip, a 'pork pie' hat and big baggy dark green bloomers !! I was at grammar school in a very nice town, and we were all a flutter when the All Blacks arrived, and took up residence in the hotel dead opposite the school.

    There was much 'catching an early bus to school today', and 'coming back on a later bus tonight' from us giggling girls, but as far as I remember non of us managed a date with any of them....but there was much hanging around the hotel gates in hope!!!

    Isabella.

     Thanks for the kiwi lesson Alyson.  After much thought, I do believe I would prefer the black-shirted variety of kiwi fruit.  Looks ripe for the picking to me.

    And Lisa, since it was my potassium that got us into this discussion in the first place, I want the one on the right, too!

    You look great 3jays.  Sounds like you had a nice evening.  My DH's birthday is September 30th.

    Thanks for the kiwi lesson Alyson.  Auckland looks like a beautiful place.  I found a list of the 50 Must Dos in Auckland.  They all look great.

    I'm hoping Phyllis that my drains can come out soon.  I can feel them pulling at times when I do stuff.  I'm happy for you that yours are all out.

    3jays:  Nice photos -- thanks for sharing. 

    Alyson:  I kinda like the kiwis with the shirts too!

    Finally got a full paycheck again!  Must pay bills today and start catching up on things.  I have had some unexpected pain in the left side, the one that had the last drain.  It hurts when I take a deep breath or reach for something, like when I close the car door behind me.  I see the PS on Monday, so will ask him about it.

    Great picture 3 jays.

    Phyllis - my last drain came out 2 weeks after surgery. That was 4 weeks ago. I'm just now getting comfortable laying on that side. The area is still tender to the touch and there's one spot that when I press on it really hurts. With the amount of time your drains were in, I think you're going to be sore for quite a while. But, definitely check with your PS.

    thanks, girls.. im fat; 1/2 bald, and draggin....but I'm HERE!!like lisa said.. making lemonade outta lemons. the problem is learning to deal with the crap in your life, no matter where it comes from...

       i din't have GREAT skills bf bc; but don't have any now.. cry at the drop of a hat. i'm sure if they can get the thyroid straightened out, it'll be better. but, with the MS; the question is: will i tolerate anything for it... more to be revealed...

         i remember, having the drains in for weeks, and weeks, they actually grew over thrm. and i have the thick, red, itchy scars to prove it, too. hope your'e all done with them, now.......have a great sundAY, ladies.....3jays

    Where is everyone. Most of you have no excuse but we do in this part of the world, we are so busy watching sport in this case rugby (and some league and netball) I am exhausted from all this activity.

    Can't wait until Chrissy gets here and will take her down to see all the 'fan zones' and other activities that are going on. Raeinz is coming as well.

    Its a sunny day after very heavy rain so might help me get going today. Have had a bad dose of bronchitis which I can't shake.

    Do hope you are all having a good day.

    Hope you understood what was happening - I have no idea about American football. The US and Canadian teams both played well this world cup especially Canada. There has been a great improvement by the minnows in the last four years. Time will come when they will give the major rugby countries a real fright. It has been such fun. DH has managed to get to two games.

    All three of my sons played soccer and I coached for a couple of years ,,,,

    I did end up as a voluntary referee  for 20 years, so I do know a bit more about that than

    rugby..

    I'm here, too - just fighting what I suppose is a UTI... Have been busy with getting-ready-for-winter chores and probably didn't stay hydrated.  But the chores are mostly "done."

    Alyson, have a great time with Chrissy & Raeinz - how fun!!!  Hope you post pix.  I suppose you are getting on to summer now, just as we begin to turn on the heat...

    I can't add anything to sports talk, except admiration for yet another of Lisa's many talents. Voluntary referee for soccer for 20 yrs - wow!  

    I hope all the recovering sisters are feeling better. Drains out, wounds healing up, fatigue easing, and energy returning.

    3jays, lovely pix. You looked great.

    Hi all--been away due to computer problem.  I now have a Mac but haven't yet learned what all the icons mean.  3Jays your pictures were great!  So good to know what people look like!  If I ever learn this computer I'll post one of us.

    I just got a dress form and am now sewing with it.  I truly love it.  Have decided to make the whole family's clothes from here on and I just can't seem to fit anything in the store and it's not very well made anyway.  I'm basically built like a boy with boobs--not much hips, a big waist and medium on top (after reconstruction).  I probably should shop in the teen boy section!

    Craving of the day:  macaroni salad.  A couple of ribs would go nicely as well.  Is that meal on the "preventing cancer" list of stuff to eat?  I check after I finish eating.

    Love to all,

    Dragon

    good to "see" you dragonfly. i only use the avater , cause its a momy feeding her 3jays. maybe i should change it, since they seem so distsant; but i stubbornly keep it. i'm not afraid for anyone here to put a face to the name. i think most of us , should. if just long enough for us to copy it.. it IS nicer to have a face to put with the name. over a few yrs, i have quite a few now. some ple don't want their pics out, tho, and thats ok too.. a little "mystery never hurts..hahaha ............3jays
