OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

I sometimes will comment I hope you feel as good as you look...that is when someone truly looks good, but you know they are ill...generally this is well received....BUT I only think I learned this after being on the receiving end of dumb, stupid comments. It never ceases to amaze me the things that people say!!!

shep kitty

perfect response!!

Shepkitty, I love it. Made me chuckle, tks. Love, Jean

Shepkitty, that is so good!

My new comeback for stupid people in a situation like ours is: "Are you a medical professional?" or "Are you dealing with my situation?" Which is usually followed up with: "If not, please do the intelligent human species a favor and shut the heck up! Your lack of intelligence shows you were dropped on your head in a puddle when you were a baby!"

I need to keep those responses, dealing with new non bc stuff and hate to answer certain folks so pulling away from nosey people

Morning gals.... So when I logged on here, I was clear back where you guys and Ducky were talking about Angelina Jolie... Hah! Now the Ducky-girl knows what she is talking about.... I just laughed! She and I think pretty much alike... We think all these celebrity type of people are nuts anyway, and are only out there for the publicity...

And so Luna! Dang girl! So you ate those sunflower seeds, and they went down the wrong way and landed in your breast? Breasts?.... And they poked them from inside, and therefore you got yourself Breast Cancer! I'm surprised Ducky didn't sort that one out....

Yep, I remember waiting for that phone call.... I just sank to the floor, and went outdoors and cried on my Husband's shoulder. But then I came to my senses.... (don't laugh Ducky) and got on that "slow train" and came through it all. Been almost 7 years now!

Of course taking Tamoxifen for 1 1/2 years, and having that "stroke" and lost my hearing, was actually the worst thing that happened...SOME women with a CERTAIN gene, WILL have a stroke and go deaf. Others, it doesn't bother at all. But hearing aids took care of that....mostly.

The stupid things? When I told one gal-friend I was taking Tamoxifen, that ignorant dink said "Oh? So now you'll be growing a beard?" See, SHE thought Tamoxifen was Testosterone! I have to learn to choose my friends with more intelligence. But I've known her since we were little... so she is friend-by-default.

She also apologized for asking where I got so much hair on my arms, when we were kids! I mean how the hell do I know???

But now, she is 80... One year older than me, and looks like she is 20 years older than me!

Ducky! We should go get her, and drag her by her ankles over rocks and mud.... and tell her.... "See what you get for being so stupid?"

Thank you! And the older you get, the less patient you are with the ding-bats! Even if you have known them for years, sometimes they just get on your nerves.... Same with Husbands.... (just kidding)..... mostly.

Morning JazzyBug! Yes! Doing great...! Just working around the house, sorting and cleaning, and then working in the gardens, getting ready for Fall! I love this time of year.... but figuring out what to get rid of & "never do again" is a job....

Gotta make things easier for next year, and not try and grow so many things we don't eat...Or that don't do good with so much shade around here. But I love to do it! Can hardly wait to get outdoors every morning when it is just getting light... So pretty, and quiet!

Otherwise everything is good...How about you?

When I was trying to decide which type of reconstruction to have, I too heard that a lot. "Oh, I have plenty of fat to give you. Please take it!" They thought they were being cute, but people just don't know what to say. It's like when they say, "Just think; you'll have new, cute, perky boobs!"

I just chalked it up to ignorance. Btw I ended up getting implants. It is such a personal decision.

Oh Wow Jazzbug....You know, I read about that on the other thread... I'm so sorry! Guess you can't do stuff like that! Don't go bending over and fooling around. Maybe the brace will help? DAMN! Does age have anything to do with it? Or are your "parts" just loose and not stable? So are you using a walker or a cane now, along with your brace?

I don't have any trouble with my hip.... But with a rod and a couple stabilizing screws screwed into my bones, I think it is pretty stable.

I had a Dexa-scan, and my bones are really good! It was just that I fell like a semi, on my hip, and it broke at the femur-neck.... Sometimes those parts hurt, but I just can't sit too long in one place.... I'm lucky.... I'm so sorry you are going through this!

Maybe paint that brace some cool color? Or glue lace around that thing! No more pole dancing for you! Just take it easy little one! xoxo

I was just thinking... Maybe just ask if there is an internal way to stabilize? I mean with a plate, and/or screws? It's just a thought, but maybe that would help your tendons/muscles heal until they got stronger, and back in shape?

I understand the need for the brace, and walker... The surgery I had was ORIF...Open Reduction Internal Fixation.... I know ours are different, but it's just a thought...

Chevy, my main gal......how the hell are you doing................been missing you over at Crazytown.......................have been down the shore a lot of the summer so I was seen little on the threads...........stinkin IPad battery is acting up.............we just had a wedding too on Saturday for my grandson, so was out on the dance floor most of the night and now I can barely walk........took 8 Extra Strength Tylenol to get through the day into night

Back now from it all and not looking forward to the lousy winter......bare trees, brown grass, cold days, colder nights, and high heating bills.........aren't I just a bunch of HAPPY........I have some picture on Crazytown Chevy if you want to check them out......they are from the wedding.....none of me....but the family yes..........

Lila and Bobby were suppose to be flower girl and ring bearer..........Lila is 14 months old, Bobby 18...Lila is the Bride and Groom's little girl....don't ask, that is the new normal I guess........need I tell you how that went........LOL...........Lila had no clue what was going on so in a fog she made it down......Bobby a bit older, and a little wiser. when he got to the 5th Pew in a church with about 200 Pews to the altar......said.............Shit on this, I'm out of here, so he and his $25.00 tux.....his $30.00 shoes....the.$!$.00 Satin Pillow, left Lila in the lurch, and high tailed his ass in the opposite direction pillow and all..........well he did good in practice the night before.........he got 1/2 way down the aisle, decided to run and scream like a laughing hyena to the front of the church with Lila yelling and running right behind him...................Wedding day his said "I"m outta here".......

I warned them, but what does an 81 year old grandmother know, right.......LOL

Ok love to all my ladies, take care all of you...........hugs to all..........

Oh, a big hello to all you ladies who kept me laughing through my treatments. I had a hip replacement last February. Other than a lot of joint pain from the AI I'm ok. Ducky I bet that wedding fiasco will give a lot of laughs in years to come. What great stories to tell the grands. I also have a calendar full of med appointments. Hope you are all doing well. Love, Jean PS..What is Crazytown. Sounds like where I live these days!
