    Hi Pattypeppermint,

    It's 15 degrees here but I live on the lake and the winds are blowing about 20 mph. The wind chill is bitter today, but the sun is shining and the sky is bright blue! It's pretty over the ice on the lake.

    I hope you feel a little better. When I melt down I try to indulge in things that make me happy. A bubble bath, new nail polish, fresh baked cookies, basically anything that Works! Take Care!

    HIO, I hear ya on the shoulder pain! OMD! Got a call back this morning from RO and we have a plan. Next week I will have the nerve block on Wednesday and see her Thursday morning for a practice run. If all goes well she will transfer me to a facility near me for the nerve blocks. In the meantime, she has referred me to their PT facility (it's in the same building) to try to loosen up the muscles. Hopefully the combination of tx will give me the ability to tolerate the rads. I told DH I wouldn't even be doing this if he hadn't been insistent, I would have just blown it off, since I am now NED.

    And this cold makes me just ache all over, my hands are so stiff.

    I got some good news this morning, my son PMed me that he may be coming to town for work for a couple of days at the end of the month. Haven't seen him since before surgery. At least I have peach fuzz now. He's mostly bald (my gift to him from my bald dad). It will be good to get a hug.

    Poor Florida gals! My son said it got down to 42 last night on the Space Coast. Very cold for them. It was 13 here when I got up. 19 now.

    Pepper, hugs. I can't imagine what you're going through. My son lost his adoptive mother to cancer just days after I told him of mine. When I asked him what I could do, his response was, Live. But he is in his 40's. (45 on February 8.) But my sister's husband lost his battle with cancer when their kids were 6 and 9. It wasn't easy for anyone. But my DH filled in as Dad for them, and they are now int their 20's and have survived. I know this is hard. But you are fighting, and they will know that. That's important.

    Patty, sorry, what are you taking for pain meds? are you taking them on a scheduled basis or as needed? Who have you talked to about pain control? Managing pain is a major function in managing depression.

    Chevy silly girl :) I learned how to do split screens with windows 8.1. You can do it too :)

    Open a browser. Google Chrome --any of them. Go to BCO, log in as usual >>insomnia page. Move cursor to top of screen. Click. It'll reduce it a bit. Move cursor to each side and drag edge to the side. Then do the same to the other side, move it to the middle. Leave window there..Then

    Open another browser. Go to BCO>>insomnia page. It'll cover the whole screen. Click on the top with cursor. It'll reduce it a bit. Move edges to opposite side of the first screen.

    You then have two screens/windows/browsers. I read on the left screen and write on the right. When you want to move the page down to read, click cursor on the left screen. When you want to write move back to other screen and click.  

    You can minimize these and reopen at will. They will reopen to the same position until you move them. Sometimes I'll have a bunch of browsers open if I'm researching and writing, minimizing and maximizing as needed.   :)

    Sass, I can't do it with aol.... Instead, most of the time, I move this screen over, then go to "write" and type what I want to highlight, copy and paste here.... but sometimes I just start typing here..... and realize that if I DO go back, this one is lost...

    When I do like you say, one covers up the other....

    Okay.... never mind.... I see what you do, but it is easier to type on a fresh "write" and paste it here.... There, also, it uses spell-check... which it doesn't here on AOL.... but it does on Chrome.

    And so I just have to ask.... WHO is this Charlie guy? Are you speaking in code again?

    Je Suis Charlie!!!!

    Chevy do you not watch the news??? I am Charlie - "We are Charlie" ---- ie; freedom of expression, unafraid of reprisal! Stand with the French! The non Islamic world will not be silenced by bullying and terrorism. Pen and ink will rise again!

    It is a balmy 48 degrees here and trying to be sunny. It is warmer in Oregon than Jacksonville and I am flying there in 10 days... ugh.. sigh.. no justice.

    Je suis Charlie. I think the world is done with the terrorism. I think the free world will not let this go. Not that all previous attacks weren't barbaric. This ones different. All free peoples will join together now in a way that hasn't happened since fighting the Natzi's or the Japanese in WWII. With 911 it was the  USA.  Many other countries may have supported us, but saw us as being to handle it on our own. Other countries had individual events that caused them to respond to there own countries needs. The binding of this event is world freedom of expression. The core to democracy. This will be the beginning of the end for radical Islamists.

    To all ---there's a very happy surprise coming, but it's a secret till it happens :)

    Rose lets meet in Tampa for lunch. I'm going to Moffitt around the time you will be going from Jax to Sarasota. There are some great restaurants in Tampa. It's easy for Spookie and my son lives in Tampa.

    Rose once we figure a visit date, I'll make my Moffitt appointment

    surprise, yes I am still alive :). lol.... Just started felling better. Long story, short, this last chemo beat me up pretty bad....really my fault...never told doc how bad I was doing. When I finally did he pulled me off it and put me on a chemo break. So now i am doing better, lots better, and started a new treatment yesterday.

    Way to difficult to go back and read, sorry....I don't lurk when I am not on, so I know nothing. Sorry if I worried anyone, just was a bad time for me.

    Sas called me today......in her warm weather in Florida.....while I was sitting by my fire place at a negative 6 outside.

    I am posting this next picture for her... Enjoy sas

    Hope everyone is doing well.image
