    Wren44, naked bicyclists? At least they have the grace to wear body paint, I guess? Still, sounds...chafing.

    Patty, good to see you!

    Had to do some work on the house recently. We replaced the toilet, we think it's been here since the house was built in1927. Also had to replace the pressure release drain valve

    Morning gals..... Those kids were soooooo CUTE! Told them all to take a hand-full of that penny candy! All the Mom's & Dad's were with them too....But we only got maybe 30 kids! We had nice weather also......

    Earlier in the day, the Tennyson Street Merchants in our neighborhood all hand out candy/treats, and all the kids dress up, along with their Parents, and do the "Halloween Walk".... It's about 3 blocks long, with all kinds of shops, restaurants, etc... So I think most Parents take advantage of that... and don't go out at night anymore....

    We had gone over to our friends Rosie & Jim's house for a late lunch! She had her house all decorated, and does this every year... Our Daughter goes over after work, to help hand out the treats.... Rosie buys those cases of pop-corn from Costco, and 2 cases of Famous Amos Choc Chip Cookies, and BIG bags of candy, and the kids get THAT! And her porch is all decorated with those spooky moving scary statues! So it was just FUN to go over there...

    She had Salmon... and you know what she does? She cuts it up into portions, then heats a non-stick skillet, seasons them, then puts them in a hot skillet, skin-side up, covers, and cooks on med until they are done! They were sooooo good... Then in another skillet, with O.O she puts Asparagus, mushrooms, and fries them fast, turning so they don't brown, just get tender, and they were really tasty!

    She had Guacamole, and Hummus, with chips and a big bowl of this Orzo Salad! Then we took a lot home... Ha! I told her she spends more on Halloween than we do on Christmas... But she LOVES to do this!

    Mommy, that toilet was a museum piece!

    Chevy, lunch sounds like it was delicious. It was rainy here, so Halloween was pretty quiet. There's only a handful of kids in our neighborhood, anyway. Most folks either have grown kids or are younger and haven't had kids yet.

    Xena is adorable. Love her little glasses.

    Hi ladies- back from the hot springs with my friend from the east coast. We had a great visit from Wed evening through this morning, before she left to spend time with some family here in town before she heads back east. Girlfriend time featuring lots of soaking, some yummy treatments, good food, nice fall walk, leaf peeping, and some fun in Santa Fe yesterday on Halloween Day. Got home before the kiddies came (we turned off the lights and hid!). I will have some foliage shots for you soon!

    Favorite FB halloween pics below!

    The dog as a martini is hilarious. The look on his face is priceless. You can almost see him thinking, "Humans...."

    I don't know, Cubbie. The glass is empty, if you'll notice, that dog may be thinking, May I have a refill?

    Whoa..............Patty, I heard that shout out all the way down here! What a fun weekend. Rocket launch was picture perfect around 12:15 Sat. Us mere mortals can't figure out why no vapor trail. It was beautiful. Lot's of kids for trick or treat. Most creative was a kid dressed as a diver in a shark cage with a shark attached to the top. The cage was made out of paper tubes wrapped with duct tape.

    Have a GREAT week :)

    Morning everyone. Hope everyone had a great halloween/weekend!

    Sas-checking out those links now. They definitely need some work. I have an area mid chest that the Dr says may peel or become moist soon? Eh? So I just picked up some hydrocortisone cream cause it itches so bad and it's a lot more red than any other area in the treatment area. They keep telling me I have been through more than most when discussing the fatigue. I find that hard to believe, course I have no comparison except you guys and other people I talk to. They say most, by the time they hit rad's haven't had chemo, BMX, then rad's and working full time with 3 kids haha They're teens, but still kids. (once is 21 but such a pita).

    Spookie-love the pics! Guessing she is a bit spoiled? Love the decorations!

    I'll try to catch back up but whew, lots to catch up on here and everywhere else lmao

    Enjoy your day everyone!

    Chevy-hope you are doing ok.

    Sim, one morning during rads I woke up with wet nightgown. My skin broke and I was soaked. That got me a week off from rads, then boosts, then finished regular rads.

    I asked for, and got, lidocaine ointment. Numbed the itches. He also wrote a script for silvadine for the burn. That's good stuff!!

    saying goodby to an old friend. We used to have a pair that werebeautiful when they were in full bloom and made an arch across the steps. We think this one was about 25 years old. Was afraid that it would fall over now that the rains have started and it was diseased. All the kids used to climb in it over the years.

    Been very productive today. Clean house and baked some cookie waffles. Yeah me

    Oh Smarrty, loved a good climbing tree. One childhood memory sitting at the top of a very high & old pine, that I couldn't climb trees when I got old like 30. Lol still did. Now, I won't get on a ladder. Glad you shared about the trees. Old friends.............

    Simplicity, I'll link a thread that has info I wrote on how to use silvadene safely. I linked to page one, skim through till you find the silvadene info. It's a good link to keep in favs b/c it has info related to a lot of wound care info.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/44/topics/754935?page=1

    From the search I did the other day re: skin care. Use of skin care anything hasn't been done to rule out whether or not they do harm during active rads except for petroleum products. The links only mention not applying anything for two hours before treatment. There was one Scottish study that said they're was no difference to how skin fared with use of stuff compared to a control group that used nothing. But one study is nothing without backup by repeat studies. The gal I talked to at the burn unit was familiar with multiple cases of ladies that were treated at their facility for rads burns and she only worked there for two years.

    I had some other info here re: silvadene -----deleted it..............safety during rads is NOT established.

    Oh no! So sad to see a tree that old gone, even though it's not mine. I am coming over for the cookie waffles after work.

    Driving to work this morning was no fun. We finally have rain that lasts more than a few seconds. The problem with not having rain for over a period is that people foget how to drive in the rain. We had strings of accidents this morning so the commute was more than stressful. The freeway was like a parking lot and the surface roads were just as bad as commuters were trying to look for different routes to their destinations. Why did they have to chose the same road as me?? Someone needs to invent teleporting transportation. Was an hour late to work, but thankful that I came to work in one piece and that the IBS didn't act up while I was stuck on the road. That's my " broken coffee maker" story today😜

    Ms Spookie, yes they are the newly weds. Every year she has xena in different costume and of course,she is always the princess or the like. Xena always ends up being the "beast" or the bad guy

    O Spookie. That's awful. The PT lady told me my skin would become like paper mâché :/ Was it blood or that watery stuff from a blister? Bleh.

    Smarty, looks like it was a beautiful tree :( Sorry you had to let it go.

    Lol I feel ya on the driving!

    Sas-saw that. It's disturbing how little is known about bc and any affiliated effects like my AWS. Not much research. Why not? Ugh. Aggravating.

    Haven't been sleeping well and can't nap. Becoming quite bothersome :/

    Yes, it was just a clear fluid leaking, oozing. Messy. A sanitary pad would have been good to soak it up if I'd thought if it.
