Here's what cheezed me off today

Good for you, apple! More people should do that.

LOL apple...that's great.  Sounds like a good episode for that TV show "What Would You Do"!

Thanks Sara!  Birthday was fun.  Went to see paranormal psychologists talk about their experiences.  The younger speaker was a hoot and even did some psych-type magic tricks.

apple, Good for you!  Some dip shits ruin everything in their dishonest behavior.  I'm a bad ass, but not sure if I would have had the balls in that situation.  My friend gave me some stickers for my birthday (she knows me well :-)) and maybe I would have went up to the lady and stuck one of these on her.

Kaara, stickers above apply to your crowd as well.  Hey, maybe we need to put these on cards to hand to the assholes who piss us off.  I remember back in the 70s we used to be able to buy cards that looked like business cards, but they said all kinds of things.  Heck, I think I may even have some left (yes, I save things forever :-)).

rohanna, thanks on the birthday wishes.  Sara outed me :-).  It was a fun day.  Chemo is chemo... yuck!  Treatment #3 is coming on Monday.  I'm eating all the yummies I can right now since the taste buds will be gone again.  Jalapeno chips and jelly bellys for breakfast! God forbid I mention my breakfast on one of the other groups.  There was some weird discussion going on for a bit about eating sugar.  I wasn't going to get into the discussion since TYPICALLY I eat very healthy, but from today until Sunday... watch out!

Decisions, decisions... I hate when I can't make up my mind,  Normally that is a sign for me that something is really wrong.  I recall standing in Target in front of the toilet paper for about 15 minutes once thinking, "One ply or two ply?"  Brands... hum... how many is the best bargain in the package, etc.  I think I was almost ready for the luny bin that week ;-).

RaiderDee, welcome back with your new personality!  Gotta love the Mods.  I'm surprised they haven't deleted some of my posts.  I suppose I am using my inappropriate language appropriately and therefore it's all in context.  At least that's what I tell my 13 year old ;-).

Thanks on the birthday wishes.  It came and went, but I did have a good time.  Since I'm just a few days out from treatment #3, I'm at my best right now.  Of course after Monday that'll all change.  Ohhhh, shiny boobs... sounds like a great birthday gift, all I got were cards and candy!

RaiderDee:  I'm with you....I would've done the same thing!  The ACS is, after all, a large corporation, run by people who, for the most part, don't exercise common sense reasoing.  It's not all that different from any large coporation.  

I used to have a sign on my desk outlining the six phases of a project that read as follows: 

 Excitement..Confusion...Disolusionment...Search for the guilty...Punishment of the innocent...Praise and awards for the non-participants!

Kind of like an episode from Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" if you ever watched that TV show. 

Well, I was such a good girl today, making sure not to cheeze off others. I needed to give a specimen because of a suspected UTI and when I put the cup on the back of the toilet a few drops spilled. I did a good job of cleaning it up, don't worry.

But the UTI cheezed me off and I can't even blame anyone!

Lulu22, never read anything about BRCA- ladies with cancer that could have been preventable.  I've read a lot about how to prevent, but most is common sense.  Don't be a smoker, don't be obese, breastfeed your kids and the list goes on.

I am trim, healthy and exercise.  All the bad crap (alcohol, candy) I do in moderation.  I had two children at a little past 30, nursed them both and have no family history of cancer.  I believe my only "real" risk factor was dense breasts.  They say 6x more likely, but NO ONE ever told me that one.  I suppose I should have been way cheezed that I was never given any warning other than getting fancier mammos with ultrasounds once a year.  Okay, now I'm cheezed!  Had I had even a remote idea that I COULD BE at risk... this whole business would have been a lot less of a blow.

I have "moderately" dense breasts and was never told anything about being high risk either.  I never had a bad mammogram until a couple of years ago, (I'm 71) and now I've been called back twice in the last two years and am now waiting for a biopsy.  I've done all the right things too, but I guess sometimes it doesn't matter, you get bc in spite of it all.  

Lulu22:  I'm so sorry that happened to you.  If I were you I would really be mad at that radiologist for sending me home.  Isn't there some kind of liability attached to that?  I think today if you find any kind of lump at all you have to absolutely insist that you get a biopsy.  We can't afford to place our health in the hands of some human who has no personal interest in the outcome.  What did he/she say.."oops..sorry"? 

rohanna, Wow!! I so get it, but that sucks harder then a Dyson vacumn witha clean filter!  I wonder if there are any other young adults at any of these parties that are the designated drivers who are just enjoying the party.

And now for the mini cheeze... my son and I were listening to a song from "Bye, Bye Birdie" on XM radio yesterday and I brought up the topic of how innocent dating was in the ol' days.  Not that I was around in the 50's, but there they were singing about asking girls out and getting pinned, etc.  The characters in the movie were supposed to be like 16 or 17.  My son has seen the whole boy/girl thing happening since he was in 4th grade at 10!  Thank g-d he is still into his academics, sports and music because who the heck needs their hormones and emotions messed with at such a young age!

And the same goes for 20 SOMETHING DIPSHITS WHO ARE DRINKING!

My daughter is a non-drinker as well. On Halloween during her college years, she volunteered at a community center that throws a party for the kids. Gave her someplace to be, and she loved having a ton of fun, in costume, with the kids.

Your daughter might want to try that another year. 

I was more than a little annoyed today when I called my DD to tell her that I had an app't on Monday with the bs to have an US and biopsy (she knows nothing at this point) but before I could get it out, she launched into her ongoing rant about her ex and the court battle over custody of my grandson.

 She has a competent attorney who is handling everything and there is zero chance of any success on his part, and he will be responsible for attorney fees as he has been before when he plays these games, so she should be moving on with her life, but no, she loves the drama and thinks the rest of the family is as caught up in it as she is!  By the time she was done, I had no desire to complete my discussion, so I guess she won't know until I get my diagnosis, and then she will yell at me for not telling her!  Kids...you gotta love em!

Rohanna-------who is Guy Fawkes-------I could google, but I'd like to hear your version? It's Monday nite so, you must have had the party. How did it go?

My DS's groups over the years have all had designated drivers--DD's. They are/were very conscious of it, but now he is getting older and they don't go out in groups. He's very conscious of drinking and driving. But I think I will get him one of those self test breathing thingys. It only takes once and many lives can be ruined. Even if were just him being stopped with a ETOH level at or one point above the allowable------he'd be ruined.

Just learned last night that from Law and Order that 17 hrs of no sleep can give you the reflexes equivalent to 0.05 alcohol level. Very dismaying b/c I go through periods of insomnia that longest has been 48 hrs. Also L&O said someone with sleep deprivation of +- 40 hours can show signs of psychosis. Love AI's----NOT. The full schedule for tomorrow just got less. I find there statement very interesting b/c I knew my reflexes and balance are affected by insomnia. So, all appointments are late afternoon, in case I have a NO SLEEP night. AND if I don't feel right after a no sleep night , I'll cancel appointments. But it was like a shot between the eyes, when they quoted these stats in the show. Bummer
