    Let's remember we are here to help each other and some thing really should be done in private.

    Now back to the Circle of loving and caring sisters and brothers that I know we can be.

    The boards are loading very slowly tonight and I'm not sure I can sit long enough for them tonight.

    I went in Friday about this infection to the port site. My incesion for my port is still seeping and I took the last antibiotics for this round last night. They took more cultures to see if it needs a different antibiotic. The blood cultures came back ok. The think I may be rejecting this port. I sure hope not, cause that would mean the would have to remove this one and put in a new on which would interupt my treatment.

    I'm so tired of all this mess.

    I really hope they need to get me on a different antibiotic and this heals up once an for all. I never had this kind of problem with the first port.

    Got to see most of the grandkids this weekend. and am still tsying to get a time that I can get all of them together and get some pics of the bunch. Step daughter cancelled at the last minute otherwise I would have had them all together this weekend. Oh well. we'll try agin next month.

    Happy Birthday Liz I think I missed it!

    Going to go get things ready for work.

    Love to all

    CherylCY, I wish I could make this all go away for you. I hate it that you have to go through all this crap. You are so sweet and kind, one of the good guys, and this just should not be happening to you. I hope that nasty infection goes away and you don't have to have another port put in. I've been having some trouble with mine and I've had it since Nov.05 but just lately it's been hard to push the saline & Heprin through. I just choose not to think about clogging or anything that could happen. We are a pair to draw to.

    Hey to Marsha, Iris, Janny, Vickie, Jazz, Gina, Nicki, Odalys, Amy, Sheri, Suz, Tricia, Carrie, Deese, Brenda, Neesie, Jankay, Madison, MB, Margaret, Liz (hope you had a nice B.D.) Z, Jeannie, Cindy, oh gee, i feel like I'm forgetting..Susan, Christine, Donna, Boo, Gus, oh my I guess I'm brain dead but I can't think of anyone else I've left out. Thank you all for being here when i need a shoulder and know that I'm always here for you. Sleep well and peaceful.

    Charlene, tell me I did not detect a whine.... hahahaaha

    jeeeeeze!

    the drama AGAIN is just friggin ridiculous!

    ............ but at least i feel young again ......... like in high school, no make that grade school lol!

    while i feel for debby's dilemna i can't help but wonder why we are continually being subjected to this train wreck network of women who clearly need to resolve their childish, competitive, attention seeking issues elsewhere. 

    unlike cheri (who is a better person than i lol)......... i opted to shoot my mouth off because this situation is another prime example of why i too, seldom post!

    what a bloody damned shame .............. i feel disappointed and kinda lost ..... this was the only place left in my life that i could depend on ........ everybody else let me down over and over again, but i could always come here ............... now .............. well, why bother?  the repeated BS of a chosen few is just sickening and has completely detracted from what this place once meant to me (and others).

    i don't get into the "grand farewell's" anymore, i cringe when i see them ........ and the cryptic bantering back and forth is enough to make me lose my lunch!

    around this time last year "we" managed to run a certain someone off the boards for a whole hell of a lot less bullshit than this!  funny thing too ........some of the same players!!!!!!!

    i can't find the right word for it, i'm just so disheartened and actually embarrassed for this little group of adult women who are finding happiness in airing their childish power struggles here!

    well, go ahead and let me have it ................ i'm a sun lover so my skin is really thick lol!

    Cheryl I'm sorry you are having troubles.  I wish antibiotics worked the way they were supposed to.  Here are some new friends I found to cheer you up.

    Well, friends, have a good night's sleep.

    Going to surgeon tomorrow to have stitches out of knee and find out when I can drive and go back to work.

    Brenda, I hope your infection keeps up so you don't have to go thru getting another port.

    For the people who really want to keep this thread, just keep posting and ignore the BS. Thank God, I have no idea what it is all about.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    HELLO?

    IS THIS THING ON???

    ANYONE HOME???

    DOES ANYONE MODERATE THIS BOARD ANYMORE???????????????????????? 

    Read about Cy and the REAL LIFE PROBLEMS of someone enduring metastatic breast cancer

    Read from Shel who is also a club metster

    Read from those of us currently in treatment again

    And then we read about this NONSENSE.

    Susan, I thank you for trying to explain it all.

    Now it is time for a moderator, if BCO still has any, to MODERATE THIS FORUM.

    HOW MANY LETTERS DO WE HAVE TO SEND?????

    I am praying for ALL my breast cancer sisters and wishing easy tx, gentle procedures, and HEALING.

    When they switched the forum over did they also do away with all the rules of conduct?

    This has been a shameful display and I am sure that Dr. Weiss did not envision what has occured here over the past several days for her beautiful and generous website designed to HELP WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER.

    Good Afternoon/evening/Morning seem to get lost at the moment as to what time of day it is for everyone, just wishing all a happy and safe Monday.

    Have not read back since my last post a couple of days ago, and not going to, but just glad that on this page it seems to be returning back to the way it should be.

    All my sisters from Amy to Z 

    If any sisters are having any medical appointments or tests I wish you all the best, any awaiting on results I pray that they are what you want.

    Just want you all to know, although  I mainly hang out on Gin'a site because of computer issues that I experience here, I always keep every one of you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Take care

    Peter

    Good Monday morning dear friends.  A new week is beginning.  It's been raining heavily in this part of the circle this morning.  Can't go for a walk as I had hoped but will walk on the treadmil instead...boring. 

    Peter - I was going to post that same pic.  Ah....great minds think alike. 

    Best wishes to Gina and everyone else who is going for tests today.  Hope everyone has a peaceful day today.

    Remember, if anyone messes with you today...you can tell them you don't give a rats ass!       hahahaha

    Love and hugs to all my friends from A to Z.

    Good Morning Everyone, no time this morning as I'm rushing to drink my coffee and jump into the shower.  Taking Audrey to her well child checkup and then going to my Onc appointment.  Wishing everyone a Great day where they don't give a rat's ass about anything that's not important.  Love&Hugs,

    Charlene

    PS. Cheri ... not a whine, more like a whimper  hahahaha

    CY, Shel, Gina, Shirley, I agree with you all

    So I take it I am considered to be one of the "bad four"...I will tell you that I am not.  I was asked to do one simple thing to cheer a sister...I came to put a stop to it...

    I go out of my way to hurt no one...I don't believe my behavior was childish.

    Once again I am sorry

    Oh God Shel...I thought you all were referring to me in relation to the "others"...don't give up.  I am soooo not involved with this bunch.

    I love all my sisters here...this is the only support I have...the ONLY support.  I need to be here. 

    Can we please close the door on the troubles of the past week or two and start again?  Please...I would seriously beg for that to be.

    Love to all

    Good morning Campers!  Its a beautiful Monday here.

    Yesterday, I finally scrubbed up my pattio table.  Its been in a sad state of neglect for the past 3 1/2 years.  I used to take my coffee outside in the mornings to sit and enjoy while I let the dog out back.  After diagnosis, I just seemed to let so much go and that was one of those things.   Its just one of those white heavy plastic ones you get at Walmart and I really thought there was no way I could get it clean.  But I've become addicted to those lovely British ladies Kim and Aggie and they use white vinegar to clean just about anything so I thought I would give it a shot.  AMAZING!  I didn't even have to scrub to hard.

    Susan -- I'm sorry you are having some problems but you will get through this. 

    Nicki -- good morning.  I hope your day at work goes well.

    Gina -- I checked out your website and you did a wonderful job!  Looks fantabulous.

    Cheri -- how is the walking coming?  Remember, just a few more weeks until you go back to Iowa.  Doesn't your pt start this week?  Or was that last week?

    Jankay -- I got all the fixins for the pumpkin bar.  I couldn't find unsweetened pumpkin though.  There was only one pumpkin choice on the baking aisle.

    Sheri -- today is going to be the day that your son heads home.  I know it is because my fingers and toes are getting cramps from being crossed so long.

    Well, going to go hop in the shower.  Be back in a bit.

    I've been up since 3. How absurd is that. Went to bed at 8:30 so did get a few hours in. "They" say as we get older our bodies need less sleep. All I have to say to that is I AM NOT FREAKIN OLD!!!

    And did you know that Minesweeper set on expert is impossible to beat.

    Cheryl and Cheri, hope the port issues for both of you are solved soon. You both have been through a lot and need a break.

    Candie, hope you are able to drive soon.

    Peter, love that picture.

    Nicki, I'll take another cup of that coffee.

    Jas, who are Kim and Aggie?  I take it they are on a home improvement show.

    Everyone from Amy to Z, hope you have a good Monday.

    No time to read yet but Good Morning! Here is an amazing hand shadow show to see that was shared in a biker forum.  http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/66513/detail/

    We raised over $5,000 total with two biker benefit meals over this past weekend to help a lady biker who went down when she hit one of two dogs at the end of her driveway and had her shattered knee replace.

      Hubby got bit by a spider last night, bagged up the sucker and I need to wake him to see how its doing to see if he needs to go to the doctor instead of work. Not sure what kind of spider it is, doesn't look anything like the brown recluse spider that we have alot of in this area.

    They are on BBC, a show called How Clean is Your House.  I have become absolutely addicted to it.  They are two elderly ladies who go around the UK shaming the citizens for their dirty houses and showing them how to clean up.  I like it because they have some great cleaning solutions that are natural things you have in your home, no harsh chemicals.

    White vinegar is one of the things they use alot.  They also use table salt, grapefruit halves to clean the tub, and other good tips.  Plus, they are hilarious!

    WildJan -- I hope your hubby is okay.  We have alot of those brown recluse in our area too.  That was a really nice amount to raise and I'm sure the friend will so appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness.

    Sherloc -- it sounds like you may need to consider a new computer soon that is more up to date?  That may be why you are having so many issues with BCO loading slow as well.  I love Pogo, what a shame you can't get it to work.
