INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

paw print.  How is Annie Mae getting along 

Nettie...sorry to hear..that's annoying. Do you know what caused it. I heard a few years ago one of the issues is the alignment of stones in your head. If that is the problem , one is suppose to lay head off side of bed in all four direction to align the stones. I knew I had rocks in my head...now it was confirmed.

 Hope you get a handle on it soon... Hugs your way

Tang..how's it going? Feeling better, getting better, dressing changing going ok?  Still got you in my pocket

Hello everyone else. Hope everyone had an enjoyable 3 day weekend.

Nighty night

Hi LeeA.....Long time, no see my Friend.

LeeA I'm doing fine. I'm one year pfc this month. Hair came back in curly. Still lacking energy. Or maybe just lacking motivation. How are you doing? The Bellas really miss you.

Paula

Woe that was a big ketchup

So many women get this thing way to early bit the no rules apply here too. Naturally we don't want out DD's to ever have this and mine go every year, but I'm sorry an Mammo (to me) is not always the answer so--I still worry about them.

Netti I think that's right about Vertigo, but can't they help you?

I'm just starting to revive from my week-end, hot, pool and I drank--need I say more---it was good tho.

Oh if I can I want to explain Chevy reasoning for going 180 mph---its ver simple.

Just passing through. Having a great holiday will be in Canada on Saturday

Did you see THAT you guys?  SHE (meaning the Cam) is assuming I lost all my marbles!  Not all, mind you, just some!  Ha, ha!  

I didn't REALLY go 180 mph...  just wanted to see if you were listening...  I went 179!   Besides, you are partially correct....  those "marbles" are similar to what are on the high-side of the track...  Little bits of debris, that the tires "push" up there...  You don't want to hit them, because they might make you slide, or spin.... which in either case is not good.

Nettie?  Are you still spinning?  Did someone assume you had rocks in your head?  Do I have to look that up too?  Being dizzy is just the worst!  Some sort of inner-ear goings-on, and it just makes you want to go out and throw up.... which I did once.  

Since I lost my hearing, it hasn't happened...  My Mom used to get that too.... always afraid it was "Menier's disease?  I don't think that's the right spelling...  I'll ask Cammi.

Sorry that so many women find breast cancer at your younger years!   Well that doesn't even make sense.... I mean it's so awful that younger women are finding breast cancer, being so young! 

I don't know what the statistics are, but I've read where the early Egyptians... the mummies.... had signs of breast cancer.  I know they didn't have all the treatments that we have now...  But hopefully the expected life-span has gotten a lot longer... 

Okay, I've figured out the problem.... After I go over my impending post, I find lots of mis-spellings, which I hurriedly  correct...  So's you guys won't take me to task.... Ha!

So MY main problem is I have to "proof-read" everything I write!   And that works if I know how to SPELL something, and the mistake is not my finger's fault! 

Susan, that cup of mocha looks so good!  And Morning Alyson!

Lee, what is PFC?  I looked in your DX, and didn't see anything like that!  I know AC means Air Conditioning.... and that PND is post nasal drip, but you guys, I just don't have a clue about all these abbreviations!  We should make a list of our own abbreviations...   So I have some sort of reference guide... 

Not spinning so bad this afternoon, but very sleepy from the meds!!  I guess I'm going to have to break down and get some blood work done, just can't seem to stay awake these days and I have no energy!!  I mean, I do stay awake because I have to work... but it's very hard as I could fall asleep sitting straight up at my desk!!

I have had vertigo before, went through treatment for it and I know all the exercises that are supposed to relieve it, however, this time they did not help, had to resort to valium, anti vert and Zofran!  blah blah blah!!  Leave it to me to be sick for a holiday!!  Had a houseful of people to top it all off, so therefore today I get to go home to a disaster as DH is absolutely no help.  He thinks since he grilled and "cleaned" up outside that his duties are done so the rest is left to me!  The company did try to help before they left, but there are just some things that can't be done until everyone is gone and that ALWAYS gets left to me, regardless of how I'm feeling!  Because for some reason, if I don't do it today, HE will just leave it and assume that I will do it when I feel better!  There were times during chemo that things got left for over a week!!  That's just how he is!! 

Well, wasn't that nice of me to just pop in and start a rant!  SORRY!!

Hope everyone had a much better holiday than I did!!   I'll catch up later, but not sure I'll be able to comment to everyone! 

I luv all you ladies and I'm so glad I have this place to come to when I need some "fresh" air!!

Hello Owlettes! Went away for a spontaneous Memorial weekend family gathering. It was wonderful.

I will post later, but couoldn't help but do a happy dance for Susan!  Yay!! 

Tang is getting better, (hopefully!) Annie Mae too, badger wedding sounds lovely, (love wood ducks!) graduations..(Congrats! DutchIris, raising a kid is no easy task!) Chevy and Cami are showering.... (*raised eyebrows*)  smaarty is too smart and teaching quilting. (It's beautiful!) Ziggy is too busy for us all, (miss you!)  Wren is lovely Wren and spookie is keeping mom busy.

Nettie needs to feel better, Teka still brings us great pics, 2TA is busy on the phone with bc sisters, (awesome!) HoleinOne is offering Proseco (me please!), and Sassinator is on every medical issue! Have a problem? She's your go-to gal! And Lee had some good advice too.

Brain ain't what it used to be.  Waving to anyone I forgot!

Hi Ladies- 

I've been crazy-busy trying to get things done around my mess of a house, working on cars, and trying to get out of the house more. I have missed a ton and will try to skim through everything later. 

Hope you are all doing well

pawprint. Glad everyone is doing well. Sometimes I have to reset the wireless connection for my I pad to work....

Tang and All Women With Daughters:

I am the only woman with maternal bc cancer diagnosis...my hubby 's mom also had 1st bc diagnosis in her maternal side. Because my daughter has a maternal and paternal history, my onc said she should get her mammograms at age 25.  

Nettie...just had to pop in and say that dh is doing the same thing...but his is bike riding. I'm happy he's doing something to get healthier, but honestly he make such a big deal of it on FB. It's annoying, not sure why, I think I'm partially envious of him doing something "normal". At the same time I know he needs something normal with all this cancer crap going on around him.

Anyway, just saying I can relate.

gnight ya'll

Oh I can't let THESE posts pass me by!

Just brings to mind when MY DH was going through something!  It was after he was retired, and was trying to consume every drop of Beer Coors could put out.

I was ready to retire, did not think things would go from worse to even worser!   But yes, they did!

I went "through" it...  You ladies might too, but something has to change.  I wrote once, how I had to get out of there.... and I did... like 5 times!  Not a happy time for either of us...

I just couldn't take it anymore.... the fights, drinking..... wait.... I didn't do the fighting.... I didn't say a word.... I just cried and finally got up enough nerve to run away.... 

Oh yes.... The big new motorcycle he bought.... !  A few more Tattoo's he wore! 

But then with me being gone,  our Daughter's ready to wring his neck, our Doctor prescribing him meds, and a psychiatrist helped get us back together.....   And a Church, and me praying my heart out.....

I couldn't have done it without my friends, because I was gone off and on for 7 months, and I could stay with them... 

We DID make it.... the drinking is down to maybe 3 beers a day, instead of a 12 pack....   So it's just us now....  But we were  64 by the time all hell broke loose!  

I can look back on it now, and think it took ME to give it up.... I had to "break" before we could come close to getting back together again.

So good-luck with taming those men of yours gals....  It takes more than a Village...    MY Dad was never tamed....  but Mom hung on for dear life....  and they loved each other no matter what he did.

jramick!  Thanks for posting!    That just makes sense...  Did you ever have the BRCA test?    I think that test is just for one type of cancer?

Smarty!   The pictures are so true....

LittlePaws!  We love Snuggs too!  She is beautiful!  My folks had a little Pekingese one time, named Peanuts... because he loved them so much!   So happy Annie Mae is doing good!  Snuggs and her will become best buds now! 

JWow!  Did I read that right?  Working on Cars?   What? Like rebuilding a transmission or something?  I can't do that.

Morning Littlegoats!  Oh?  I'm at the end of the posts?  Where IS everyone?  Okay.... I'll just fend for myself....xoxoxo

JWow!

Well ladies, I thought maybe I’d get caught up, but this thread moves so fast so I’m just going to jump in!

Tang, I’m glad I’m not the only one! But I will tell a secret here, I’ve become so annoyed by it that I’ve taken action! I guess I am becoming a b**ch! I have his password for his FB and so, when I see a post, I log in and go to his page and make it a private post so that almost no one can see it! Not sure how long before he realizes this, but until he does, oh well! I deal with the consequences if he notices! I just can’t take much more! And you know, I think for me, part of it is the fact that I get told over and over about so many different things that he “doesn’t have time”! Well crap on that, if you have time to run for an hour, then you have time to do some things I ask! Just seems a bit selfish to me! Oh, did I say that I usually ride my bike while he is running, however, I give out way before he does, but even so, I don’t go plastering it all over FB that “hey, guess what? I rode my bike for two miles today and I did it in 10 minutes!” or whatever the time may be! Guess it’s the difference between men and women!

Susan – happy for the good report!

Chevy, I know how you must have felt! However, both of my kids know what’s going on and they are supportive of me, but they do NOT want me to leave! But they just don’t understand how it feels! I have only hit on a little, but it’s really worse, but nothing like you describe, my DH has never been physically abusive, he is just verbally abusive or sometimes he decides to be so self absorbed that I may as well be living by myself! Except for the fact that I have to clean behind him! We do attend church, and yes he goes and that sometimes even makes me more angry because so many around us tell me how lucky I am to have such a “wonderful” DH! They only see what he wants them to see and no one knows what goes on at home! Sometimes when I see things people post about or to him, I just want to yell to the them, wake up people, this man is a jerk! Only his sister knows and thank God I can vent to her!

LittlePaws, I love the pics of your pups!!

Jwoo- working on cars?? Really?? When I was younger, I used to assist when things had to be worked on, but I would never know what to do on my own! I mean, I do check all my fluid levels and I know how to top of the transmission fluid, antifreeze and oil! I know how to check the belt, but could never change it! I used to be able to change a flat tire, but not strong enough anymore! I also was able to change my own oil but decided that it was easier to pay someone and I didn’t really save that much by doing it myself!

I’m sure I have missed quite a bit, I don’t think I read all the way back, you see, I’m one of those that starts at the bottom and goes backwords! I don’t know why! I’ve always done that with everything, books, magazines, newspaper articles! I’m just weird like that!

It’s raining like crazy here today, wish I were home sleeping, but at least I’m well enough to be at work, so I guess I should be thankful for that! Supposed to rain for 4 days! YUCK!

Happy Wednesday!
