Spookie u pulled it up yourself? Wow that a hard job. I don't blame u for liking wood floors, I only liked carpeting when it was new but then u'd have to try and clean those stupid corners and I hated that. It never looked good for long really, where as wood can look good easily.
It's getting dark out earlier and earlier but tonite I seem to notice. OK that's it.
-
spookie, I pulled up carpet from the steps...started at the top....guess what I ended up on...yep...good thing I didn't crack that tail bone..I bounced better then...lol
-
I've been trying to get DH to agree to pull up the carpet in our upstairs. It's probably just plywood underneath, but that could be painted. It's super dusty and hard to clean. The downstairs is oak hardwood and we just have an area rug in the living room.
-
Wrenn that's what I was trying to say it's like carpeting just attracts everything deep inside even cleaning it., My room in the whole house is an add on and it has wood flooring and I have an area rug in the middle, but the rug was here and clean no one seemed to use this room much, if I ever have any extra money (Oh I'm making myself laugh) I would change it, but it OK for now o forever. LOL

Love that welcome, holeinone. Chevyboy, you sound surprised like everyone else, including my doctors, this was not supposed to happen. I had my first in 2001, chemo, rads and lumpectomy, 10 years later, the other breast, lumpectomy and rads. One year later, after a false alarm, MRI's biopsy etc. I decided to have a double mastectomy with implants, to avoid all of this crap. Now, just 2 years later another diagnosis, lumpectomy and now just finished 7 of 33 rad treatments. I must say I am not handling it as well as I did the other 2 times. I saw a therapist today, it helped some.
-
33333333 I can't imagine anyone handling it well, once is bad enough--I feel so bad for u, altho we really can't do much for u, we can be here so u can say whatever u feel like it and maybe do some venting, or just talking whatever we can do we'll try to help as much as possible. This is a great group and we do get silly from time to time, but there is always some serious going on too. It's whatever u want to share with us. Most of us are pretty open books here and when u'r here for a while the feeling of care and support are so here. So I hope u get comfortable with us.
-
jwoo, sorry I late posting a pic. It's about 5 ft tall and about 25 lbs. Can you check with UPS about shipping costs or whatever method you want then let me know if you still want it.
-
wow, had to go back 2pages to catch up. Welcome 3, sorry to hear you're going thru this again.
Interesting about carpet vs wood floors. Been thinking about pulling ours up. We had the whole house done 2 years ago but it's not holding up well. Waiting for Costco to tell us what they'll do about fixing it. I was always afraid of having wood floors since we're getting older. To me it's seems like it would be easier to slip and fall. Any problems with that ladies?
Blessings, glad to hear you're doing better.
Whatever you guys decide, cards or posting, I'm ok with. Hope you're hanging in there FBB.
OH, I found out I have arthritics in the thoracic spine area but not down low in the lumbar region. At least now I know why it's been hurting. Guess it's a good thing I'm losing weight. Almost to 30 lbs. We start eating real food in 2weeks. Yeah.
Ok, most of you are in bed so have a good day tomorrow, back to the apartment for me. We're finally getting close to being done.
-
holy crackers! i take a break for a few days and you ladies put 10 pages on!
2nd, Hugs to you and your parents. Sounds like you are having a really hard time right now. Looking for work is never fun.
Chev- iTunes- when you close it, you shut the program down, so if you want to access your account again, then you would need to sign in. You should not have to sign in though unless you are purchasing something. The authorization issue - is this on your new computer? Let's PM this- I will need more info from you and can send you some articles. You don't need to turn your system off every night, just put it in sleep mode.
AussieS- that is probably the funniest stereotypical "Man" story I have ever heard! I bet your DH never asks for directions either? Glad your car wasn't actually stolen though.
Enerva- Canada sure is beautiful! Motorcycles! I've never been brave enough to ride more than a couple of times. But, if i had a ducati- i would ride it! You have a beautiful head and your curls are lovely. I hope mine stay around!
Sas- i like that, "splat"- i may steal it! Sorry you are having to give your new car up. I hope your back isn't too bad.. let us know when you have FFBs card thread up.
Susan- tomato toss sounds like a blast! Your SIL must be crazy. Where does she think her daughter would sleep? sending hugs to you right now.
PawPrint- what kind of app are you using? I have been thinking about getting a FitBIt or something similar to track my sleep as well as my movement throughout the day.
Cam- hope you are not washing away! You can send that rain on down to Texas- we need it so bad. Smellin' like peaches, eh?
Nettie- that pilot joke was funny!
Luv- I get pedis once every 4-6 weeks. Your feet are usually neglected, and you deserve it. I'd ask around for referrals, but you can almost always count on an Aveda salon to be clean. I stayed away from them while in chemo though. I just did not want to take any chances.
Spookie- cute car!
Patty- keeping my fingers crossed that your counts are not an indication of anything.
Holein1- Happy bday to DD and hope your anniversary was not too hard on you.
Tang - sweet photo! glad to see you are looking good! sounds like your rads tech is good and will be there for you when you need it. I got crampy in chemo. I am not sure why, as I was not having my period. And started taking tamoxifen before I started again, but every once and a while, I get cramps. I think our hormones are still cycling, just not at the same level. I should probably ask my MO
Smaarty- I will check on shipping costs- omg it is gorgeous!
Phylidilli- I hope that you are elig. for that trial! fingers crossed for you!
GG- enjoy your day tomorrow!
3rd time Steph- welcome and hope that your fibro stays calm and your 3rd gets gone!
4what? where you at?
Blessings- rest your brain- we are here for you when you can get back!
Wren- just pull it all up- carpet is so unhealthy! then you can paint whatever is under there and not worry about it.
FBB- thinking of you.
I've been super busy working overtime trying to save for my trip to England, and trying to see people and family, and trying to get things done around the house. I wish I could take about 2 years of (with pay) to just get chit done! ugh! Never enough hours or energy. Just started working with a trainer to get my butt in shape and get this fat off of me. I need to lose about 80 lbs, and it is time I started getting serious. Detoxing off sugar is HARD!
Hoping we end up with some rain this week. Things are dry and hot.
xoxo to you all!

Good Morning gals!
Blessings.. I meant to comment on your post
yesterday, but I SAH didn't!....(that's short for sure as
hell)............Anyway what you said was all about our conception
of how pain meds work!I have never taken anything other than
OTC...(that's short for over the counter) even when I had the Lumpectomy.... I
could just get by with either Aleve, or Xstrength Tylenol....Even for back surgery, I just took 600 mg of
Ibuprofen.... because I was just so afraid of what those other drugs would do
to my head!But with this hip thing, they gave me Oxycodone in
the Hospital, and I could take Tylenol in between the "every 4 hours" if I
needed to. It DIDN'T take away all the pain... and it plugged me up like you
wouldn't believe.So I just quit the prescriptions! Took Tylenol
or Aleve instead, and it worked well enough, and I didn't get plugged up, and
my head is still working straight.... shut UP Cammi!It makes sense, that when you have to take more,
go get rid of that pain, your body just gets so accustomed to that, and doesn't
help as much anyway!So do I have the general conception of what you
were talking about ... ?I KNOW you will say yes, but Cammi is over there
laughing her ass off!Something has to be DONE about her.
ANYway Blessings.... nothing wrong with YOUR
brain! Ha!Littlegoats! Good for you! I always call the
providers, like our phone, and Comcast, trying to get the best deals! Even my
Sprint cell phone... I don't get all the fan-dangled features on it, but I
don't need it anyway...The gal said, "I'll give you the program that my
Mom has.... It's $15 a month, for 150 minutes... plus 20 cents per text!"I don't even use THAT many minutes... because we
have a land line. So if we whine enough, sometimes it
helps!Phyllipretendingsheisnormal........... Yes, I'll
be with you in your new "party" affiliation... ! The "Know Nothings"... I like
that... Cammi is an automatic "shoe-in."We "Know-nothings" have to unite... It's a
political party, right? Okay, that's perfect.Okay Miss SusieQ..... Well Theresa said he was
St. Joseph, but I surmised hewas St. Christopher.... But I looked up statue
pictures, and he turns out to be St. Francis! And that's because he has 2
little birds on his folded arms!She has about 3 rosaries on him... So I am truly
going to be blessed.... I just KNOW it.Spookie, I use Bono cleaner for my Laminate... It
works really good.... probably as good as white vinegar and water.... I
think.You know what I love for cleaning? My Orlando
Daughter told me about that purple cleaner... Walmart has it for under $5 ... In
the Automotive section... I use it for scuff marks, and grease, etc. You
dilute it, and it works great...! It's called Purple Power, in a big white
container.I even use that on all my outdoor furniture,
etc.Oh Littlegoats! You made me laugh! NO,
damnit... and wait! St. Christopher is for travelers, that's why he hangs in
your damn car! "an armored tank?" Well, it FEELS like it! How about trading
your what-ever for my 99 Chevy Prizm with the damn stick-shift in it for
awhile? Heh, heh! I wish it didn't run so good... THEN we could go get
another one, if DH thought this one was on it's last legs.... like
me!AND we took up our carpeting, and laid down
laminate! I LOVE it!This is one picture, but we finally bought an
indoor-outdoor carpet, to set under the table and chairs! I mean you could
break your neck, bending over in those chairs, and sliding across the room with
those roller wheels.But I LOVE how easy it is to clean. It wasn't the
cheapest kind, it is cushioned underneath... and they "click & lock"
together....We pulled our carpet up also! And then cleaned
that flooring, and painted it, just because! My DD and I did the bedroom
laminate, but MAN, it is a little tough on knees, getting up and down, but we
were laughing so hard, trying to scatter the different lengths for fitting, it
sort of took the pain away.Wren, ours was just plywood also, but that's
okay! You just fill all the nail-holes, pull up that strip with those nails
that held down the carpet, and CLEAN up all that STUFF from the disintegrated
carpet padding! Then after I cleaned that floor good, I painted it with any
kind of left-over paint!Or Cammi! You don't need Laminate.... Just take
up the carpet, and paint that sub-flooring brown... Or any color you want! A
lot less work!And then you have to put the base-boards down...
it's even BETTER if they are NOT warped! I stained them to match the Laminate
first.So good to see you are posting here 3333333333!
You have gone through a LOT! I just can't imagine! Just take each day at a
time.... My friend Jackie said this when she was going through chemo.... "Just
give me 10 minutes... Then when that goes by, 10 minutes more"..... It's just
gotta be soooo hard!But oh no! Cammi says we get silly? She is
teasing! Never silly.... Maybe, oh well..... yes..... silly is the word. But
honestly, we talk about everything, even stuff we can't talk about with
family...!So give us the dirt.... we can take
it!Okay Smarty.... We never slip and fall on
ours... I do that in the alley!It is not slick, and we bought ours from a regular
flooring place, but you can look at samples on the Internet... I forget how
much it was, but it was a really good kind, but buying from a "warehouse" made
it a lot more affordable...I FOUND it! This is exactly what we bought! I
think we put it down about 5 years ago, and no chips.... of course, what would
walking around in Crocs hurt?Oh THANKS JWow! THANKS for telling me about
"sleep" mode.... And iTunes is now in my system try, and I can just click on it,
and it is there!I bought that book, Windows 8 for Dummies...
appropriately enough...Ha! But I haven't really started it...Been so busy setting up my stereo system our
neighbor gave us, and going through all their CD's and Tapes! I just LOVE the
songs we have now~GOOD GRIEF GERTIE! You talked to ALL of us on
your post! I'm impressed!Okay... onward and upward today gals!
xoxooxo -
good morning ladies. Feeling too much pain this am to respond to everyone. Hope everyone has a great day.
Hootie hoo

Good morning.. A few pictures I took yesterday
-
Good Morning u yakkers---Jwow u really have a memory, or u doubled screened everything, whatever it was great to get a nice post in the morning.
As for u Chevy, are u in competition of some kind to see who can write the most on a post?? Yes I know it rhymes. U spent 3 whole minutes on statues, when all u had to do is ask me-U know I'd know--Ahem--and yes we figured u liked u'r floors, right off that little bat of yours so I'm glad about that, otherwise u would have ranted about that. Sorry if I sound hard on u==wait no I'm not sorry but someone has to keep u in check.
Blessings I hope u got rest and every day u will heal.
FBB I hope u'r lurking and feel better.
OK time for me to open up my stuff for my crazy little job. after all I am a professional, and my 1-900 # is Oh no didn't mean the 900 number I meant another number--U know how I can't remember.
-
Now would u really think I had a 900 number, how could I.
-
Chevy....I believe St,p. Christopher. Our his saint hood....remember that from catholic
School. Ok,don't remember why.. Big surprise
Took a Valium today to,get through the day. Prob switching chemos next week, and after being sad, crying and withdrawing...I know, all positive things...I will return to mph normal self. I. The meantime I have to but on a happy face and do hair. Today, at this moment. Who cares about hair
,,,, can't let clients know that...don't I can let you guys know. As it's going prob have 2 more years on treatments...and I could care less about doing hair. Would like to exscape by my self...regenierize and come back strong and fighting.....but I need a break to refuel....can't tell the brides to find a new hairdresser,,,this is big in their world. Bottom. Of my list right now..so,tired of people KNOWING I will be just fine.....there is no FINE...there is living fully with what I have ..but fine...now that's a stretch .
I know my pics make me look great and so fun loving......its what I need to do to push through. But I can really use a hug. Ok,,, can't see through my tears....would love to meet some of you...your hugs will be so healing for me.. Love u guys

Susan I'm sorry u'r going thru this hard time. And I know what it's like to have loads of chemo, it's u'r life for a couple of years but they have some good stuff out there and u just keep on showing up when they tell u to, then one day it's over and they've accomplished what u wanted. Like I've said NED and remission are 2 beautiful words and u go on. Please don't look at it in the whole picture just go one trip at a time and let them keep track of it, and if u want to know the SE's of each one let them tell u--I personally didn't want to hear it and told them so. But whatever u'r going thru I hope u will share it with us, cuz sometimes we can help. I didn't come on BCO until all my junk was over, but I'm never sorry I've been here and wish I wouldn't have waited so long--there are beautiful people here. And when I had chemo I talked and LOLed with everyone and even tho I'd see them come and go I just talked forever --I think they were trying to really knock me out with Benedryll which I loved in my drip, but after a while everyone would keep me awake and I looked at it like therapy not chemo. A lot of people brought someone with them so there were more people to talk to, Personally I wanted to go alone--so it's up to you. But I know u will do fine, u've got a great outlook and this certainly helps. And use u'r humor as often as u can, it resonates thruout. I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm preaching but I guess I am---I just care.
-
cami,,young not preaching....but Ned and remission will,never b in my vocab. Not with what I have at this point. Buying time is my key phrase. There is always an adjustment period between switching treatments...obviously I haven't adjusted yet...lol. But I will in time.....would rather vent to you guys than worry my family to much with what I am feeling. I just called my mom and told her what was going on and she started telling me about her grocery list. I said I had to go and she asked why...I can't believe I said this,,,but I told her I was looking for empathy, not her grocery list....I told her I would call someone else......I am sure i am now on the you know what list with her....ahihhhhhhh
-
Susan maybe u'r mom didn't know what to say? Well u know u'r mom best. (((HUGS)))
-
group hugs for FBB and Susan and everybody else
Or
Take your pick. Which ever makes you feel good. (Personally I don't like them that muscular)
-
Morning gals,
First off, big healing hug to you Susan. I hate Waldo doing this to your body. It really sucks.
WJoo and Sas, the app for sleep tracking was found in app store on my iPhone. I noticed the FitBit is on sale at Kohls of all places. I have a gift card so might buy it to measure sleep and activity. Although, with iron deficiency anemia, not much activity going on these days. Today is iron infusion day, again.
Nice peaceful pics Enerva.
Wth is going on with these Malaysia airline planes? Just getting ready for work, turned on the news, and another Malaysia plane went down. Very sad for all those passengers.
-
Chevy, Your neighbor has so much going on. Sure the doc has thought of this, BUT she could have a heart rhythm problem. BP and heart can change in response to each other. If she is flipping in an out of a problem rhythm i.e any of the upper heart problems it would cause dizziness. There is a lower heart rhythm that also could be a problem. Bp would respond up and down or not be able to correctly read b/c the machines aren't perfect. Ideally she could be on a 30 day monitor that would record changes, but they aren't perfect either. This type of monitor does need the patient to be involved to some degree.
Regarding FBB--Fierce Bluebird----I'm checking with her to see if the thread shower is okay with her. We wouldn't be talking about her condition, we would just be doing the generic get well and we love you. AND be as silly/raucus, and thoughtful as can be. Once I get her answer I will let you know
. If it's okay with her , then I'll do the thread tomorrow afternoon.Visiting today at disney resort with a nursing school mate and family. I'll be back tomorrow morning
Regarding the car ---I got soaked on the money. I had the Prius 5 for 5 weeks. But OH WELL. Already know the Seinna is not hurting me. It will take weeks to months to correct one week of problems. But been through the hip thing before and know what I have to do to get back to pre-Prius level. Typical to most musculoskeletal problems, many body parts have gotten involved in the pain party.
DS was going to bring his new gal to disney today, but decided not too. The significance of this is---he's only ever brought two girls home. So this is a serious relationship. I would be delighted b/c I've known the family since 1998(?). Lovely. But I've not met her. But know she's wonderful. She's the older sister of one of DS's Classmates. As much as DS's friend and his sister were a part of ds's highschool years, it's amazing I never actually met her. But I feel like she's an old friend. Love the parents.
Waving to everyone. Three pages behind.
-
Susan. - sorry you got that response from your mom. Glad you responded quickly and hung up. It IS all about YOU right now. Empathy you want empathy you will get here. Buying time is a good phrase. Holding on with one chemo til something better comes out. I am not in that position yet so I don't know what to say. But we will gladly listen. :-).
-
Smaarty - I have not found what wood floors I've been on too bad for slipping but then not real wood either. Friend's plank laminate was fine but I had on rubbery soled sandals. My Pergo is slippy with one pair of dress shoes but about the same on the carpet/ceramic tile so it's the shoes. I know some homes around here must have real wood floors but I can't think of any right off hand. You will have me looking at floors now.
How tall is that lampshade? I had a lamp wedding gift. Looks much like it same color green but not as heavy or tall. It was about 34 years old. Dog caught herself on cord and broke it to smithereens. Maybe lamp would not be so bad to ship without lampshade but then again it may be the weight factor not the "bigness" factor. The barstools are kind neat too - so long as you don't have too big a bum!
JWoo - are you going to get the "frog strangler" rain we've had? Looks like it's moving west into your neck of the woods. Wise/Denton counties have had 10-11" of rain since about 3 am. We've only had about 2. But I found one of the downspouts shooting out backward towards foundation. DH took end off and it was filled with dead gunk. Also re-rounded it - oops I had stepped on it but it was the gunk stopping it up. I don't think any got it. Soil is draining well - we are more sandy loam out here not clay stuff.
Wish we had subflooring to paint. It's known as concrete. I lived for 2 weeks in a house with concrete floors in January when house flooded from ice storm/frozen pipe and carpet went to big-azz warehouse to dry out. Not nice. I would have to have big rugs. The den used to be garage has a big braided rug; that's the room with the ceramic tile. That floor is cold in winter. Chevy - love your floor. If we ever win the lottery ---
Susan - we love you any way you are. Gripe all you want to us. Praying that in a couple of years more there will some more treatments come along. One step, one day, one hour. Your mom - don't know what to say. Was she stalling for time to reply decently? I may be grasping at straws. Big old hugs from here. Don't they look peaceful?
Pawprint - I'm afraid the FitBit would yell at me to get up out of the chair.
Heck Sassy at the rate Chevy's neighbor gets "dizzy" I bet a 24-48 hour Holter monitor would do the trick. Patient involvement - anything more than pushing the event button and noting it on a log/BP if she took it? Been a long time since I've seen/had one. Well, not to send monitor thru washing machine or step into shower. Maybe I'm giving neighbor too much credit.
I love my computer because that's where my friends live. So true.
-
Luv that is so cute about loving u'r computer and it's true. We are all here for each other that's the whole idea isn't it.? And this is a great group.
-
Yes Cammi! Our friends ARE all here!
Okay you guys.... yes, maybe a Holter monitor or which one is for 24 hours, and which one is the weekly one? I have had both, when I used to have those spells, and nothing wrong with my heart! Just stress from all that was going on! Thanks Sass and Littlegoats!!!s! We too often just take what the Doctor says, without any more tests! They have given her MRI's, on her head and chest, but nothing showed up that was wrong.... Going for her eye test today, AND the beauty shop....
But I'll ask her to mention this to her Doctors! That's a great idea! They will probably shrug off that idea, because they have tried the usual suspects!
Went to see Tammy with my DD! It was sooooooo funny! But I think I was the only one laughing, out of about 15 whole people in the theatre! We were happy as clams though! Eating our lunch she had picked up from Tokyo Joe's? I think.... Nice bowls of rice, and veggies & a good dressing! And of course Popcorn and our Starbucks!
That other one with Camryn Diaz coming out looks good too! I KNOW.... but it looks good, even though it is called "Sex Tape" I think! I'l probably be the oldest one there!
Have you gals thought of taking the lamp up to a UPS store? I know they will pack it.... because we had them send one of my folks vacuums to my Daughter.... I forget how much it was.... but they packed it great, she said.
Okay, let us know Sass about Miss Fiercly! We will of course carry on as if we were sort of normal..... or not!
-
Chevy - I think JWoo is going to get an estimate from UPS/Pack 'N Ship etc. b4 Smaarty goes any further. A 25# 5' tall lamp is a doozy (bet 3 ft is lampshade alone). Well a vacuum had to weigh a good bit too.
-
smaarty, My fake wood and real wood floors aren't slippery unless I accidentally get some endust on them... Then it woooops......
Went back and read my posts....oh man....don't take a Valium and then post... Wow......I sounded pathetic...lol. Sorry guys....no drugs and typing for me anymore.....ha ha
-
Chevy that sounds like u had fun with u'r DD and I'm glad all the people that were there were whole people.
That movie The Tape does look cute about what goes out on the internet that wasn't supposed to. Plus I like the stars.
I think that lamp will cost quite a bit to ship even without the shade, but it's still cheaper than buying one maybe.
-
Littlegoats! I forgot to tell you....! They have passed a law that says we can keep 3 little goats in the city... I think Wheatridge? They are so darned cute!
Susan..... We don't care WHAT you say.... about ANYthing.... So if you know what your Mom's likely response will be next time, just don't even get into it. I know what to talk to my Orlando Daughter about, and what NOT to, because she tends to try and pound her point into my head, if I dare to disagree. If your Mom acts indifferent, just don't tell her things you KNOW will turn her off....
Sometimes we just can't talk to family.... but you can say anything here with us.... It just makes us feel bad, when we get either no response, or a negative one!
Okay, I'm going to try and figure out why I can't post pictures today!
Now would u really think I had a 900 number, how could I.
