Veggy so glad you liked your surgeon! Whatever your choice is will be the right one. You are the one that matters. You are the one that will live with it so please make yourself happy.
Dune I believe I "wouldn't think of him except to complain about..." his selfishness in this case. I hope all your paperwork goes smoothly and quickly!
Sas I'll be heading there as soon as I figure out how to word a world worth of intentions
There just seems to be so much going on.On the bright side, one more of my children graduates tomorrow!! She got accepted to the college she wanted, but has decided to go to a 2 yr college to get some of the core classes out of the way for less. She was so excited today she couldn't sit still

-
VEGGY!!! I'm so pleased with your new surgeon, very agreeable situation, indeed.
TERE, I'm happy for your daughter, she is SO wise to get those basics out of the way at a community college.
DUNE, hmmm, I know what Jesus says, "If a man asks for your shirt, give him your coat, too." That's the kindest thing to do. That being said, it is his same behavior that brought you to this point. For the Christ also says, "Don't throw pearls before swine." I look at this way, he is perfectly capable of hiring someone else, he is within his bounds to ask someone else in the bunch to cover him, he should not lean on you so much and then expect so much more. Look, it was arranged between you and HR when you would go. Tell him to take it up with them. We'll see how far he gets. Then just be honest if asked if you would LIKE to stay longer. "No" is the honest answer. It's not like he's starving on the side of the road and has no money and needs your coat. He is a pig, he is a hog, and LOTS of people go on vacation and it can be worked out. Now, ruin will follow me all the days of life now, and I will dwell in the house of Satan forevermore. SIGH.
FUZZALOOLA, my true sister, I love you so much, I hope you have a pleasant Memorial Day, and you are THE BEST. Always, Gail

XOXOXO
more to come....but wanted to Send out some hugs and kisses. Wow! What a week we've had!!!!! -
This is for everyone...

-
Apparently I am the trivia queen - the "nanny" from Brady Bunch was Alice. She was perfect - firm but fair with the kids, cook, clean, pretty much run the house. I need an Alice!
Veggy - so glad you are comfortable with your surgeon! I liked mine from the start, as well as the PAs and office people - all are so easy to work with and very fast to respond to questions.
Happy long weekend! Hot as blazes here in GA - spring is gone.
-
I thought I knew what I wanted... but right now I'm not sure. Maybe I am looking up too much information. How do you know what is the right decision? I have one breast that is trying to kill me and the other is fine. I just want to scream! I guess I should wait to talk to the plastic surgeon. I took an ativan to help calm down my brain. Thanks for letting me vent.

-
Madpeacock--isn't it so true we all need an Alice. Now we all so need the fella that played the handyman on the second series of the Bob Newhart show. He married Suzanne Pleshette(sic?). They are both gone now. But they both gave us many happy years. My handy man list is a page long. Found a handyman , now I just have to find the number he gave me--Duh --now where was that safe place????
Teresa-congrats on your daughter---A++ for her and the mom and dad that guided her.Yeah......... I know re: novena I have a hard time making it concise b/c there are so many to pray for.....we are formidable in numbers.
Veggy congrats on getting the doc you wanted---That is such a great feeling to have confidence in the doc and their team Yeah for you, I know it was such a battle for you to get there. Using the "Scream" in your post says much, took a few seconds to realize what it was.
Gail when you wrote "jocularity" One that pops into my head...... I first read it as one that poops into my head....Duh.... no that can't be right....Reread it right....but then I thought about it, we have allot of people trying to poop into (or on ) our heads LOL's for misreading.
Wren Hope your concussion is doing okay. I've had four. They are no fun. Takes awhile to recover. I hate falls, they rob us of our security about walking. Uneven surfaces are always looked at as the enemy.
Hmmm who else had concussions, I can't remember Hmmmm????
Dune I agree with Nancy about the dude at work. First , for him to call you at home , how self centered is that......he is toilet bowl ring.......first time I used that one , but he is. You should report this to HR. Let him sweat the consequences of that-----uck him. Check into when you can apply for Social security disability. Do it the day that you can , the clock starts ticking from there.
Lauren yes your son loves the nanny, but you identified that she doesn't pay as much attention to your daughter. Kids are smart, your daughter realizes it, even if she can't verbalize it to you. It could create conflict later on between the two kids. Besides she's not following your plan. If you were at work ,you'd likely replace her, so she's in your home ---why hesitate. She's undermining you, with your own kids---I say "off with her head" Oops watching/reading too much Game of Thrones. How about "out with her".
Nancy-Have you recovered from D.C.? Did the cat and all survive? Missed you.....and PM's. I did meet the deadlines that I asked for your help on.
Fuzzy---"more too come"? Can't wait........
Dinner out Friday night with friends at Disney Boardwalk at Kousinas. Special--benchmark ---pork tenderloin----Dh would have loved it.....
-
Something in my house is bleeping every minute and it is not my cell. Bleep! Scratching head but not getting up yet. Been here over a month and no bleeping going on ever... nothing is in there to bleep nothing......
Dunes, I would do it to spite his vacation. The old me would help him wash his car before he left, the new cancer me takes nothing anymore.
The sleep issue - I was one who stayed up all night all the time, working and writing.... not enough sleep in day to make up for it, and I knew better. I got cancer. One of the 500%. My 29 year old daughter had a night route delivering newspapers to two towns and relaying to other carriers... she loves her job, loves it! But I worry about the hours.
Bleep!
Have a funeral memorial tonight for one of Hubby's oldest friends and the funniest man I ever knew... he almost made it to retirement, had cancer and 'fell asleep' in his chair all alone, was not found for three days, people thought he was away on a weekend. He was a lonely sort, work and computer and gambling (Hubby is NOT like that at all) BLEEP... it's not a smoke alarm..... so I think he was better off to not retire because that was the way he got to see all the guys at work and it kept him happier. We will miss him.
Veggy BLEEP, crap, I don't know what I would do either. Am in same boat. Only they didn't get i all the first surgery when bx wanted to do a mx, radical even, and he SAID they almost never do that anymore.... but for me, no problem, he wanted to do it. I have been deciding ever since, re-excision, mx or double mx? or nothing? I continue to never let up on my own treatments and transitions, but it hangs over my head. I do know I want a master BREAST surgeon this time and one who uses BLEEP a laser.
Even the dog is upset by the new clucking BLEEP in the house. What can it be?

If I disappear completely, you can tell them there was this bleep, you have it documented.
BLEEP!
going to go in there now and find out, dog is coming w me.
-
D-Essa---May be you have a smoke detector unaccounted for, like up in the attic. or an alarm system that they didn't tell you about. Or an alarm clock that is battery operated that sounds when batteries low. I had a smoke detector that beeped only sporadically. It wasn't till I stood right next to it and it beeped that I got it--It went on for awhile, can't even surmise now, but at least a couple of weeks. Just a single Bleep. I even tested both smoke detectors and they worked, that's why it threw me off the detective trail.
-
Essa--but the real senario I agree is that they are about too beam you up and are testing your defenses.
On a more somber note ------sorry about your friend. As a retired nurse that has been with many who have died , plus my DH.......... I would much prefer to just go to sleep, have no thought of it, and no decisions re: it. That's why since Dh's passing I have tried to put everything in order. Tried too make son aware of everything verbally and my notes could be better. There is a post by Bon on a thread that I will go find and bring back. It may seem morbid, but preparing loved ones for our demise is smart not morbid. Whose to say I don't have an accident tomorrow. The worst happening regarding anyone's death besides the death---is that the estate is a mess and things can't be found. A mess can prolong recovery of dear ones by months and may even leave them destitute till probate is done. A dear friend had 18 months before he passed away, they thought they were prepared. One small detail, his wife was not a signatory on their combined bank account(she thought she was--her paycheck was automatically deposited). She couldn't access it for funeral expenses, groceries--NADA. Another family--he died of a cardiac arrest at 45 y/o with no will. Everything had to be probated. The wife almost lost the family home (3 young kids)until probate was done. I'll edit with link to Bon's preparation list link, Bon's info is good for anyone, not just us.

Nancynow, Good luck with turning him into an inside cat. I'm doing the same for a foster cat. He just had an eye operation and is wearing a cone. But the inside status is permanent because he's FIV+. I think he believes I'm the stupidest human on earth because I can't figure out why he's standing at the door meowing. It's day 7 now and he's much less insistent.
-
I am still here - it was Hubby's old cell phone, I turned mine off and left it on counter to go to wherever w his, he did NOT turn his off, just left it.
Darn, I wanted to go down the rabbit hole or something.
SAS - I always want to call you Sassy - I know the just going to sleep part is preferred, and in the movie with Myrel Streep called House of Spirits, she knew how to do so, alwaays envied that. Will be watching for the post.
NancyNow - your cat iss a drama king. Wow.... twenty-eight lives and counting. My daughter's cat was shot by neighborhood kids playing w their bb gun, on purpose. The other run over in the alley, on purpose. Inside cats have it better and don't know it yet. But sometimes they have to go out and stay out... one of ours long long ago would charge across all the table tops knocking everything off bcz I would not let him out. He got to go to the farm.
As most cat people know (I'm not one, I am a skunk person) when a cat at a new house gets outside they are not too likely to come back, they bolt too often.
-
Essa-just shows to go ya-------it's always something. At least it wasn't musical ear syndrome LOL's. I had cell phone ring the other day, I assumed it was my ears. YES, down the Rabbit Hole----a new adventure into the unknown. I'm just wishing for some asparagus.......darn I gave Dh's asparagus away. Well another day in Paradise----raining for hours. Schatzi keeps trying to take me to the closet. Anyone who has dogs knows what precious beings they become after about 4 and continues for the rest of their days. Before that they are precious in a different way. Schatzi this past 2 weeks has started leading me to the walk-in closet when a storm is coming. Previous to that she took herself to the shower or bathtub. But 2 weeks ago it was changed, she wanted me to follow--usually it's to the treat cupboard, food container, door, bed---- she lead me to the master bath-----She looked at the shower, looked at me, looked at the shower , then went into the closet. As if she realized it wasn't big enough for the two of us. I sat for about 15 minutes to see what would happen. Then told her I needed to leave. Three x's she took me to the closet that day. Now each storm since, she has taken me to the closet. I think I should set up Hurricane central in there.
Nancy and Essa I appreciate the cat stories, my sister had three( now one). One was a forest cat, the other two were indoor. She knew what she risked each time Maggie went out, but a cat of the forest was she. My DS's roommates cat recently fell off the 3rd story balcony(they had just moved). The cat was unscathed, the room mate had a couple of doubles.
Essa you can call me Sassy if you like , some do. We have three sheila's. So, it keeps from confusion. Isn't it amazing how Meryl Streep can transform herself. In her Oscar win this year, she gave special recognition to her make up artist that has been with her since her first film. It was so magnanimous and humble at the same time.
Essa --you are a skunk person, those baby skunk pics were yours? So, does that mean you kept some? I have heard they make wonderful pets when the scent bags are removed................??????????
-
Hello Gorgeous's!!! I'm loving Serial Killer Kitty indoors!!! Oh man he's got it good!!
I watched that movie with the rabbit hole...very interesting...
Veggy...its a hard decision girl. The right one is the one you keep Going back to....the one that makes sense before you start thinking too much.
I'm sorta screwed up right now I guess. I'm just in this sort of limbo and its Fing with me pretty bad. I did so good when I was home for a few weeks....I wonder if my health is ever going to be a priority to me and how I could do it if I stayed home...the whole frickin thing is just so unfair. So, if the bus is warmed up and stocked with goodies, could I get ya all to jump in my head?? LOL
when I read that ur friend almost made it to retirement, I got so sad. That's a panic trigger for me....who the hell decided on 5/6 day work weeks?? 40/50/60/70 hours??? What the hell is retirement age anymore?? I'd like to kick that Guy in the you-know-what's....
So...a happy note....I'm thinking about an Amtrak vacation!!! I Would love to hit NY & FL to meet my sisters for sure!! But, my babies need this...next trip maybe!
so I'm checking out Yosemite. Or new Orleans.
My baby puppy is in his usual spot..sleeping between my ankles! I thought for sure he'd stop doing that with my hot flashes! I swear I Can change the temperature of a room!! Does anyone take black cohosh? I've heard it works but also works like a hormone (bad for me).
Ok....crazy thought....a non for profit organization for sponsoring -
Oops....continuing....LOL
Sponsoring BC patients without Insurance. An actual "insurance". I thought I could contact providers to get thoughts and interest....then the press...and of course a foundation. Kinda like sponsoring one of the children in another country....Why isn't there something like this??? -
Fuzzy-your on a high flinging out there with ideas. Come on back and we'll talk
-
Oh Sas. ..I've got crazy shit going through my head all the time!! I'm going to start making Toad Homes this week, homemade cheese and Korma! Then, when I figure out the Toad houses, then I'll build communities!!! LOL I took a shot at whittling a few days ago...not my thing...
-
Fuzzy i'll wait till i collapse, pushing the refresh button constantly
-
fuzz --call me--i'll pm you
-
I will! Let me get up and find a quiet spot!
-
Life is wonderful------------- even in times that we don't believe
-
Maybe the bleep is a C02 detector hidden away somewhere? Though when the batteries on mine get low it is more of a SCREECH...
Good luck on the indoor kitty trials. Once the coyotes moved into our neighborhood, nobody lets their kitties out any more. Mine goes out on a leash.
My 13-month old boxer put a paw through a window yesterday wanting to come inside. Smash! Glass! Blood! Trip to the emergency vet! Not a big cut, but it wouldn't stop bleeding. I put on a pressure dressing (try that on a big, strong, wriggly dog) and it had finally stopped once the vet unwrapped it. He said I did good... a couple of staples and some antibiotics - $482. Yike. Hubby fixed the pane, so saved the expense of repairman.
-
FUZZEROLA, I remember husband and I years ago talked about when we quit working, we would take a train trip cross-country. He was a fan of photographer Ansel Adams, so I knew that would be our end point, Yosemite. So, I thought of a few places I'd like to ride thru, which there's a canyon I think in Arizona close to New Mexico, called Mt. Zion Nat Park. Anyhow, I'm not interested in that now. ALL I want to do is go to the beach.
PEACOCK, wow, I'm glad your boxer survived his accident with the windowpane! Our husky mix, when we moved to this house, he was an older dog even then, and he walked right through the sliding screen door out onto the deck! He was okay, but not that screen!!!
NANCYnow, we had to bring our older cat in at one point, she was maybe 17, I forget, and this mean cat down the street kept prowling by and would beat her up, our poodle at the time did her best to break it up, so finally I kept her in until she passed peacefully enough at age 20. She really didn't mind not going back out, on account of that bully cat. I'll tell you tho, I was so mad at that bully, I picked up the closest weapon, which was some pruning shears, and went hunting for that cat. Ha! Luckily I got ahold of myself before I got ahold of that cat. Love to all my sisters, keep those cattails and dreamy train rides comin'. GG
-
Hi ladies, been away for a few days to the seaside...
-
LOL GG - I just had a similar episode here ... there's a stray dog in the neighborhood (she has visited before). She's sweet to me but my baby puppy has been snapped at by her and oh does that get my blood boilling!! This stray is tearing up my gardens and messing up my pond ... now, I love animals and all and my baby puppy is my gardening buddy and perfectly aware of where he cannot step. But this stray is asking for my foot up her tail...
Nancy - You are too cute!! SKK may not understand how great he's got it right now, but my guess is he will soon! I had a nice picture of the party going on by the neighborhood rodents!! LOL Too funny.
I had a dog once (great dog) that we had to let in the house to take care of a rat that came in...not a mouse...a full grown angry farm rat. That pooch knew exactly what to do but...the rat had one last bite in it once Shadow had the upper hand....and he bit his tongue!!! OMG the blood that comes out of a tongue!! And then to have to deal with a dead rat on top of that....that was crazy.
My youngest has her awards ceremony for graduation tonight. I can't believe she's graduating. I can't believe my babies are both in college. I'm having a tender moment right now...pride and love that is out of control.
Terrible upset belly today...maybe I need chocolate
Have a wonderful wonderful day ya all!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Sommer....where did you go? Sny pics you can show us?
-
Hi Fuzzy,
I went to Dartmouth, with my gorgeous girlfriends, one of whom was 50! Lovely little streets with oodles of shops and lovely restaurants. I haven't put my pics up on my PC yet, we are all squabbling over them at the moment.
But I will, it was nice to have a break from thinking about breasts, that said, my friend decided to enter the freezing sea, with a very interesting bikini, that came off resulting in many cheers from a gang of young lads on the beach, not to mention a few husbands, who likely had a slap from their wives, she definitely got her tits out for the lads, as we say in the UK! Good girl!

-
LOL!!!! Sounds like you and your girlfriends had a BLAST!! Good times! I can't wait to see the photos!
I was just looking at Amtrak vacations....trying to make this special ya know! It's all so complicated (for my Fuzzy brain) so I think I'm going to have to call them and see what I can set up! It would suck to miss a train stop...or purchase a trip that I have to drive 2,000 miles to get on the train! LOL
-
Hum, that does seem a tad excessive, 2000 miles to board a train. Just demented!
-
Fuzzy - You must be smiling from ear to ear! This is for your daughter. Its all of us doing the "Congratulations! You Graduated" dance. I'm the fourth bear, the gray one!
