    Ducky---you bet we (I) am praying for her daily....She hold a special place in my heart.Im sure the other sistas feel the same way...when it comes to kids everyone opens their hearts...

    Tried to go for a short walk today but it was really cold.I forgot my scarf so it became shorter!!!!!

    brought me back to my workin days.standing waiting for a bus to go to the train to go catch a beating as soon as i got in the door.everything came flashing back.I never had an easy job and im so grateful that i was able to retire at the ripe old age of 66 1/2.

    gonna go play cards now...be back tomorrow.huggggggggs everyone K

    You too Granny...........................you can do it girl..................we're better then we are given credit for.............I outlast most of my daughters when it comes to "sleepless in Pa.".........................they will never have the energy we had................they do good, but they will never outdo us.

    With our cloth diapers, wringer washers, no cell phones, black and white TV, and 1 car per family .....if you could afford one...............hanging out the wash, and ironing........................although my girls, well at least 2 out of the 3 still iron..................I would hang them if they didn't....................I would watch the kids get off the school bus when I took my Grands, and think "ok, where was your Mom when you left for school this morning"...............soap, water, a comb, and an iron are not that expensive.............oh well, I'm gonna go find the Vodka, and get an early start.........................HAPPY NEW YEAR.......love ya all

    Well we kind of started out 1/2 italian, and the rest split...Irish, German, and Scottish.............once the kids started marrying, we cut that Italian down to very little.......................1 son married Italian (that is the one with the wife who has left him 4 times in the past 3 years).................other then that, most have married spouses with Irish, some Irish/italian.........Irish/Polish, so you can see the Irish have kind of taken over the family...................Not that it matters, cause they are all great people, and are wonderful, wives, and mothers, and fathers................except the bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she should rot in hell................

    So yes, my family consists of a lot of Mutts.................but I can't think of a better group of Canines I would rather be associated with.................love them all.............and you should see the beautiful grandchildren those "combination nationalities" have produced.................You mix italian with anything that is "fair skinned", and you get gorgeous...................not that I'm partial................hahahahahahaha.  Have a great day Granny..............................we are getting hammered here in Pa. tomorrow with what they are calling an Artic Blast.................................thanks Canada..........love you guys....just kidding.

    I am 69, so would love to join this group of oldies but goodies!  I had my last chemo on Dec. 13 & have my first radiation consultation on Jan. 26.  I'm glad I'm retired because chemo really left me feeling fatigued - & I hear radiation will do even more fatiguing!  Just wondering how you other gals around the age of 70 are fairing with all the treatments.  I am to undergo a DIEP reconstruction 6 months after radiation on my left breast.  Sometimes I wonder if all the seriousness of that major surgery is worth it at our age.  I plan to do it, but am thinking I'll be the only almost 70 year old getting a tummy tuck, breast reconstruction, & lift in the unaffected breast.  Maybe I'll wind up looking better than I have in decades - ha!  The guy I date is encouraging me to definitely go with the DIEP.  He emailed me on match.com at the time of my diagnosis & I told him I was taking myself off the market because I just found out I had breast cancer.  He wouldn't take no for an answer & has been a great support through my mastectomy & chemotherapy.  We're not "serious" but he sure has been a sweet & uplifting support.  Just what I needed....of course I do have great support from my family (3 daughters) & great lifelong friends.  Just wondering how you others my age are

    Welcome Sharon to our little "oldies, but goodies" group......................No need to be 70 to join us, since we're all young at heart, and age is only a number...............

    The ladies here are the best..........you will meet the greatest group of women you have ever met.....we have all been around the block several times, and have our outrageous stories to tell..............

    I am 76........diagnosed last year in Feb.........had lumpectomy, and Rads........I did well with Rads....a few bumps in the road..........fatigue the worst...............but got through it fine...........I am on Femara, which I call the "devil", but even with that I am doing ok, compared to some of the other ladies...........

    No one can really tell you or advise you what is best, but we certainly tell you what our experiences were when we went throgh it.

    They did not recommend Chemo for me, since my Oncotype score was 8, which is considered quite low..............they actually told me I could forgo Rads too, but my RO, and BS absolutely did not agree with my MO on that one...................so I did it..............36 treatments.........5 of those were boosts, which were not bad either..............

    Well welcome, and come back often..................we love having you here with us...............hugs.
