    Good grief.  I looked backward and saw I missed about 12 or so posts.  Don't know what my ancient computer was "thinking"!  Wondered about lots of references I didn't understand, and poof!  They had been skipped.  (ex--had NO idea there was a suicide thread.)  And, Lily, know this is a safe, caring group.  Experience abounds and everyone's willing to share if asked, yet no one is intrusive or pushy with do this/do that.  It's all in good intention and cushioned.

    Hugs to all.  Sorry to be confused a while.  (seems my normal state lately.)  Tongue Out

    whaevah--yes, with John Deere tractor at the ready.  Let the digging begin. 

    on that note (Irises are up.  Flowering almond in full bloom.  Tulip tree fading.  Forsythia still bright.  Garden to begin this weekend--tomatoes, squash, peppers...)

    thank you for the splainin'! (as my sixth graders say--sigh)

    Did Camille accidentally delete us from her favorites again :)



    Congratulations Laurie!



    If you guys are digging and shoveling can you come over and cut a gigantic sycamore tree down for me? It cracked and is leaning over the neighbors yard. Quote today for $1200 :( I think I need to go to school and learn a trade lol.

    Thanks for the reminder Teka!



    Welp I have some yucky news. They think my mom's breast cancer has came back in her liver :( Its really early but she had some scans today and apparently more tomorrow. She's been cancer free for 13 years. She had bc 2x and told me she was a year behind on her mammogram. She's 61yo. I'm a bit numb right now. She wants me to deal with everything since I seem to know more. F this stupid disease!



    Thanks ladies for all your good thoughts and support. Love you all.

    FBC - Markat so sorry you have one more thing on your plate.  It must be even worse dealing with someone who has the same disease ... I know my dad's cancer last summer was hard, but at least it was something else.

    Hugs love and prayers to you.

    Thanks bgirl and Teka. This sucks. I guess we will know more soon. I'm an only child so this is tough.



    Hope everyone is doing okay and having a nice week. I'm going to message Camille and see where she is :) maybe just computer problems.

    Teka I was the first 3 you listed....glad they can take my mind off of everything...

    am ok just sitting here, not only are the steroids ruining my sleeping but they are making me gaine the weight...whatever, made a slice of pizza hated it, am going to make something...it is hot here was 88 and tomorrow will be 60 and rainy....told the dr. we need to go back on zometa for the bones, lots of pain and he agreed so next week zometa back again...the port clogged so had to get cathflo and then it worked, got home 5pm and drs. appt was @ 1030, was there all day.....asked him if the chemo cumulative and he said it was, which makes sense about why the last time was rad....getting a PET scan next month i think and he did a tumor marker test with the blood today to check and see what is going on.....I am fine tho, just hungry and tired was up from 130 to 430, WTH....sorry...

    Laurie--happy, happy!!  I'm still hoping for my two girls to meet a wonderful guy...  A baby in December will brighten everyone's holiday!  Break out the cameras.

    markat--so very deeply sorry to hear your rough news.  It's difficult to face with one you love...  and... Wish we lived close by.  My DH would be happy to get rid of your tree for free.  Chainsaw ready, trailer ready, and he'd have it gone.  (Termite in a former life?)  :-)   Seriously, he'd set off for your house if he knew where to go!  He's like that.  Loves, loves to help wherever, whenever.  

    Hope Camille finds us again soon.  (Camille?  Hugs to you!  Hope you're ok!)

    Oh blondie what a long day :( Those steroids can make you crazy, well they made me crazy :) Have you tried microwavable mashed potatoes? That's pretty much all I ate near the end of my chemo. I hope you get some sleep!



    Thanks all! Skittle you're so sweet! Your DH is a definite keeper!



    I messaged Camille but I haven't heard back :( she must be out partying without us!

    Markat I feel awful about u'r mom,I don't know if this is useful but for certain kinds of liver cancer they have that cyberknife??? that u can get--I know one woman who had it and said it was a breeze??? and she' doing OK--she's in her 70's so hopefully they can help u'r mom with super results.

    Laurie--Grandma??? how wonderful they more fun then when u had u'r own kids, that's for sure---Boy will Christmas be extra fun and exciting for u'r whole family. Congratulations.

    Skittle get one of the chainsaws u used in u act when u were a st--Oh doesn't anyone know??? That's a lot of $$$ but I know it cost alot.

    Blondie I hope u get some good rest, nothing is good about this crap, well I did get strong nails cuz of it and straight hair??? But this still isn't worth what it does to you.

    I hope all of u have a great day tomorrow, It's still raining here and cold so it's not planting time yet not that I'm planting I was just saying...

    I't my sister's borthday today and she shared it with my Mom, same day so we kinda get a little glumpy around now -So I've been really herminating.

    Oh curve we'll miss u but I hope u have a wonderful time and store u memories so u can tell us how great it was. Be safe.

    OK Markat u'r stuck with me and my stories. This was told t us when we were adults. My aunt and mom when they were teenagers snuck out of their home and git all dressed up with makeup and hats and went downtown Chgo--which was close--and went to a stip club--and ordered a drink my Mm was actually 12 my aunt 17 and they didn't get caught--If u met my mom she was all prissy and my aunt would swear like a sailor (they used to say) so opposite and so very close=my aunt could always make my mom laugh so hard she's pee her pants-well both of them would -even when they were old so of course we inherited-my cousins too this abnormality in laughing so when we were all together the men would all wak away. What a family so much fun.

    Oh I have to tell u my grandson came in to kiss me goodnight and said Now if u feel sad or scared tonite u'r more than welcome to come to sleep with me, I'll take care of u. He's my love.

    Curve hope you have a lovely time at your niece's graduation!



    Blondie I'm not sure how you are, but I had a hard time concentrating on reading and watching TV during my treatments. Not sure why? I would get pretty nauseated I think. Just yucky from all the meds! Glad you got a little sleep. I slept on my couch for like a year because it was quiet and cool! Lol. DH has actually had a hard time adjusting to me being back in the bed. Might have to put him in the spare bedroom :p



    Camille that story is hilarious! Could you imagine a 12yo in a strip club lol! And Joey is such a good boy! We might need to hook him up with one of my girls in the future ;-)



    Quiet day at work. It is devastating what some of these kids go through and the struggles they face. I just want to adopt them all. Don't think DH would appreciate that lol. I like this school because these kids don't have to feel different and their classes are so small!



    Hugs to all.

    Mark and I am glad work was quiet but you are so right, people have no idea what kids go through and when they go to school as you know it may be the first meal they have had, someone who is nice to them, the first place they are warm, without little animals running around etc.  you are a special person.

    Thanks, it depends on the time and day, now tomorrow afternoon is really the worse day for me....have a meeting from 9 - 11 tomorrow and have to go to walmart to get food for one of the twins (the other and I went shopping for him) and then the conference on Saturday, I should be ok....volunteered to be a greeter at 8 til 9am it is til 4, home and then back on Sunday...wish I was staying at the hotel, last year someone offered the other bed in the room, it was awesome, this year no such luck....I will be ok, ya gotta do what you gotta do, and I am looking forward to it....
