    Barbe: Great news about the inner thigh, and I'd be more than happy to donate some of my fat.  I have plenty!

    TAB, thanks for the offer, but that's the one place I DO have fat left!!! I know there are machines at a gym that would work it off, but I've NEVER had luck getting rid of it!! I used to ride my bike for miles when I was youger, why did I get stuck with fatty inner thighs?? I have VERY strong, muscular legs.....sigh.

    Mostly, I wouldn't want a set of Ds for anything, but you are very sweet and generous to offer ;).

    I have looked into all the various methods and the only one I would even remotely consider is the one where they slice off the lower part of your buttock and turn it into a boob. Then again, I think of how horrible it would be if it failed and you ended up with a mangled ass on top of not having any tits. :(

    momine - thanks for the visual - too funny - not really, but in our twisted worlds, it is...

    Sherry - (not Sherry from Tx - a Sherry who often posts on other threads, but decided to check this one out since I note that barbe is a frequent visitor - Hi barbe!)

    Love the witch photo - I'm the one on the far left. I often use my index finger to get a point across to granddaughter - I try not to, but my mom did, so....Karma got me last week when my granddaughter used her index finger to get a point across to me! Little poo.

    Good Morning, Reality, and welcome!   I always knew the day would come when reality would rear its ugly head on this thread.  Not that you have an ugly head, because I have not seen your head and it could be very attractive.  I hope you are flexible, because I tike to twist reality now and then.  Wink

    marlegal,  I have been going to an annual Halloween party for about 10 years now and so had to come up with a costume, but since my efforts failed this was the third time I went as a witch.  You would think my mind could come up with new and fabulous costumes each year, and maybe it can, cut procuring those costumes seems a little like a chore.  That is why when I bought "bag o' costumes" on CL, I thought I'd have the next few years covered in one fell swoop.  Anyway, at this party, I was the third witch there.  Big year for witches.  There were a lot of "doubles" this year too...two sets of "bacon and eggs" and even two cavemen.  You just never know how it is going to go.  Two years ago, it was all pirates and wenches.

                                                                    

    Now that the two witches on the end have identified themselves, we only have to wonder who the middle two are.  I was the one snapping the pic (but you can see my 5th teacup on the table.)

    On a heavier note, I have been wanting to mention (since only learning of it about a week ago) that two women who had been posting on here some time ago had both passed away this past August, right around the time we lost Reesie.  I am refering to jenn3 (who had been on hospice since about the beginning of the year,) and ma111.  Ma111 leaves behind a GREAT and IMPORTANT thread, A place to talk death and dying issues which, no matter what Stage you are, has some really good info. in it.

    It is sad news, indeed, and others may have missed it like I did.

    The parties sound great. In my little town, all traffic is detoured around main street for two hours after school is out, on Halloween,while younger children and parents go to all the little stores for candy. It is so much fun to see all the costumes. Sometimes the parents dress-up, too. We also have a Winter Carnival every February.(Saranac Lake Winter Carnival) The prisoners from a local facility build a huge ice castle by our central lake. The carnival runs for a week and there are opening and closing ceremonies with commercial fireworks! There are fun, winter events scheduled all week, and almost all is free or low cost. That's when everyone dresses up as there is a theme each year. Wow - just realized that I have no idea of what the them is yet. Have a great Halloween.

    ...Just checked the net for the Winter Carnival Theme - last year was Aliens - people dress up all week - at work, shopping, at school - It helps us get through Feb. in the mountains - brrrrrrr. This year's theme is "Under the Sea" - I bet there will be lots of "the Littlest Mermaids" around.  Hmmmm- wonder what kind of sea creature I will look like by Feb? lol

    I know what you mean - community members take them hot chocolate and treats. We are not allowed to visit with them, but at least can say thanks that way, as they work hard. Bricks of ice are hand cut out of the lake and placed by hand, brick by brick to build amazing ice castles. We even had an ice spaceship outside the castle last year. The year before was Medieval Times - lots of fun! There was a  big ice table inside the castle with an ice boar on the table that kids could sit on - there was even an ice apple in his mouth - It took awhile to get used to it, but then it just became a mascot for the week - (wow, we sound really bored or reallly wierd). There is an axe throwing competition, frying pan toss, snow shoe race, talent contest and a huge parade through the middle of town. There is a big coronation of the king and queen- they are selected by the community for being civic minded. During the day it is family oriented - unfortunately, the eves. bring out different partiers and there are usually many DWIs issued to out-of-towners who do not take our warnings seriously about DWI arrests in our little town.

    I was going to claim the witch second from the left!! That is my dumb "smile" grin I do when getting my picture taken..sigh. I tend to squint up my eyes to look "happy" for some dumb reason and am learning to keep them open. Wow 54 years old and I'm finally getting the "hang" of portraiture!!! My grandfather used to take off his glasses and we told him not to, time and again. He finally asked why and we said that he didn't look like our grandfather with his glasses off!

    I think that the standard red dye comes from nasty insects...if you saw what you were eating most of the time you would leave it alone...if a food is highly processed like Cheetos, leave it on the shelf...I know sacriledge...but that food is nasty healthwise.

    Hello to all - missed you guys today - school let out early as storm precaution, so I was busy with grandchildren. We had a wonderful day painting, reading, watching movies and cuddling. An added plus was that so far, the storm has missed up. My best to those of you who were not so fortunate. 'Will join-in the thread again tomorrow eve.

    kd6, why is it bad to have bug's carcasses in our food? We eat dead cows and pigs, what's the difference with a dead bug?

    We had a two hour power outage last night starting at 8 so we just went to bed. I read by flashlight as my DH snored away....

    We might not hear from our B/C sisters in the path of Hurricane Sandy for a while, with so many losing power on the East Coast.  I do hope they have been kept safe from the high winds and all that water.  I cannot imagine having to go through treatment this week in NYC.

    Lost power yesterday, but got it back. There are still thousands here without power. You don't realize how much we depend on it until we don't have it.

    Last chemo infusion tomorrow Cool. Doing the happy dance. It was supposed to be today, but York Maine got hit pretty hard so they had to cancel it.

    I love the pumpkin house. Will be doing some carving with my 13 yr old tomorrow. We love that sort of thing.

    Hey guys been a busy week, trying to get ready to leave for TN on Thursday.  A much needed get away with DH.  Have noticed that I had developed a divot in the upper pole of my right breast.  Called the PS yesterday and he saw me today.  Not good news I am going to have to have surgery again.  It has only been 2 months since my exchange and in the last month my implants have decided to migrate south. I actually did not even realize that's what is going on.  I just thought he made them age appropriate and they still look really good. They have moved 1 cm but he feels they will continue to move south on me and feels we need to go in redo it and he is going to do lots of stitching and maybe more alloderm.  Said I would be very sore this time around.  He is going to place them high. I asked if I would look like a 20 year old this time and he grinned and said pretty much so. Was a bit disappointed but I do want them fixed for the long haul.  He did tell me this was a possibility and something he was concerned with because I have very thin skin.  I would have done DIEP but I am not a candidate for it unless I could gain about 40 pounds and then I probably still would not have the stomach fat.  oh well.  The implants look great and I do have faith in my PS he was the 3rd consult I got and DH and I knew immediately he was the guy for the job. Not even going to think about the surgery for now, just going to enjoy TN with DH.  It can wait.

    Diana hope you get to keep your last chemo tomorrow and be done with it.

    Reality love your name girlfriend.

    Eli that is a cool picture.  Where do you find all these?

    Sherryc,  Sorry you have to get a re-do, but I'm sure you want to look how you are supposed to.  We may not be able to look as good as new exactly, but no one should stop us from getting as close as we feel we should be.  Also, have a great trip to TN, you deserve a get-away.

    Here's a question:  Does anyone here (this would be the recon. people, I guess) feel they came out looking BETTER than before?

    The last pumpkin I carved (a couple years ago) had this on the back:

      I'm using the front as my avatar today.  Happy Halloween!

    Eli actually I do look better now than before.  DH thinks so too.  I had very small breast and after three lumpectomies were not very pretty.  Even though I have to have a re-do I have not regretted it all.  First I don't worry like I did before and 2nd I look better and my clothes fit better. I guess it was a good thing I went in yesterday because it never occurred to me that my breast were dropping.  They still look great I just noticed that divot that did not look right to me.  I'm glad my PS did not blow it off and realized right away what was going on.  Like he said no emergency but it is not going to get better until we fix it.
