    I just wanna say, I have been so pickin' busy at work, with "the boss,"  my bro away on the Grand Caymen Islands celebrating his 10 yr anniv, I have not been able to catch up here. What's this madness, cheri is talking about?  I know nothing about false identities? Hoping it is not true!

    LET'S DANCE!

    Today's Message of the Day is:
    Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love
    truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance....

    Oh, today, I finally got a full new roof, a new car (as a second,just for fun)  a new cell phone and some new clothes--- sounds like an expensive mid-life crisis. I really should invest for retirement, I am not that logical!

    Ya'll are my inspiration, Let's play nice. Hugs to all.

    Good Evening/Morning sweet sisters,

    Just a quick FLY bye tonight as I have has been busier than a lizard up a drain pipe. Went to my GP and got the results of the echo cardiograph, all came back clear, which is great except still no closer to solving the problem. Also went for a CT scan on my sinus in an effort to find out why I am having breathing problems

    I read in one of the earlier posts that I have been breaking the rules by posting links.  Would like to let you all know I will continue to do that if someone asks for help and I am able to provide the information.

    Charlene  JanKay is on chat as I am typing this, and says a big Hi to everyone and will be posting again tomorrow.

    Candie must have been your good wishes mate, glad the rash is starting to clear up.

    Wishing all a wonderful Tuesday

    Take Care

    Peter

    Morning all.

    Candie, the descripton of your pic sounds pretty.  Did you use the right link when inserting the pic?


    Charlene, yesterday I checked the cabana and spent so much time laughing, I was almost late for work; today i might post.

    Bren, thanks for the prayers.  Jamie's sense of taste and smell is what brought him down here instead of the kaiser in his area.  The doctor up there told him how she was going to do the procedure and he might lose his sense of smell and taste.  He heard about the one down here and once he met with her and she explained how she was going to do it, it made sense to him and she was doing it that way to save his taste and smell.  He's glad he did it.

    Christine, sounds like you had a great day shopping.

    Peter, glad the echo came back clear.

     Nicki, see you at the Hamptons and the cabana.

    Margaret

    Good Morning,

    Cy, glad that you are home and please take care of yourself.

    Margaret, glad that your BIL came through the surgery OK.  It is so hard when our families keep enduring major medical problems.  Sending a bouquet of flowers, chocolate candy, gentle hugs and many prayers for all of you to enjoy and find comfort.

    Marsha - thinking of you too.  Hope all is well.

    SloanDeb - may the afghan make you feel warm and fuzzy on those gray days.

    BinVA - Hi.  Never did find enough gals to get together did we?? 

    Colleen - good to read your post.  Take care.

    Shel - was glad to see you pop in.  Not the same here is it?

    Christine - always enjoy reading your post.  Take care. 

    Nicki, Cheri - haven't got to talk in a while.  Hope your corner of the world is brighter. 

    Everyone, I came here in the beginning of the circle.  I posted many places on BCO when I arrived 2 years ago.   Anymore, I find it extremely difficult.  This new, improved, format takes so darn long to load; so many people with so many different names, post that are totally inappropriate, and quite honestly a feeling that you can't quite fit in - I've just about quit posting.  The board and the forums don't have a warm, caring feeling that they did a long time ago.  

    I came out of my breast cancer experience realizing that at my diagnosis, the word cancer you automatically think "death".  All of us, whether we realize it or not, have faced it and those two words "breast cancer" forever changed our lives.  I realized how precious this gift called life is and I just wanted to take time for my family and my friends and laugh and make happy memories with them; to hug all of them more, tell them I love them more.  Those folks that pretend to be someone else or post this inappropriate stuff - they must be just kind of lonely or miserable and need much attention.  My hat is off to those of you that can handle that stuff.

    I can't.  

    I wish the board was the place that I found it 2 years ago.  It has changed so very much.  I just wish the darn thing would load so you had time to post.  I just wish we all had what was here two years ago, right now this is not good memories.

    Today may each of us feel the warm sunshine on our faces, have hugs from those we love, good news on our test, a good post surgical day - just one of those warm, fuzzy, loved days.    

    Brenda

    Wow.....Angel42.....that picture is.....amazing.

    Hi Ladies, Traci here. Never been to this thread. Looks like I'm missing some good stuff!

    Can someone please tell me who I can PM or email for a suggestion on sending an ahfgan?

    I know Bimmer's wife Diane, could really use one now.

    Thank you ladies and I hope you have a good day.

    Hi Traci,

    You can PM Madison or Vickie, they are coordinating the blankies.  Please keep us updated on Diane and Bimmer.  I think about them many times throughout the day.

    Love, Brenda aka BinVA

    Traci ... hello to you and welcome to the circle!  Thank you about the picture, I thought that myself when I saw it! 

    You should PM Madison or NewVickie regarding the afghan.

    I want to tell you, I've been reading the "continued tissue expander pain" thread and I'm right there with you on the pain.  My last three fills actually had me on prescription pain meds and took me an entire week to start feeling better.   I've been wanting to post there but just haven't had the time.   I'll try and do that one of these days!

    Very gentle hugs to you.

    Thanks Ladies!

    Sorry about your pain Angel. Mine really sucks. This morning at 5:30....I was in bed just wishing I could take them out RIGHT NOW!

    Please do post over there. I don't want to off subject on this thread.

    Thanks again. I'll pm Madison and NewVickie right now.

    I just know Diane will love it and, appreciate it.

    Hugs, Traci (Gentle...hugs!)

    Hi Traci - I think sending Diane an afghan is a wonderful idea. Bimmer abd Diane are in my daily prayers.

    Brenda - I understand how you feel and often feel the same way. I don't have any trouble getting on the boards but am so often saddened by the strife when I get there. I have pulled away from posting many times because the boards seem unfriendly to me. I keep finding myself coming back because I wonder and worry about the great ladies that I have met here.

    I agree, the warmth and caring is often missing. Can I handle it? I'm not really sure to be honest. I do know that I find myself coming to the boards less often. Whether this is due to changes in me as I travel through this journey or changes in the boards that I am responding to I am unsure. I think a little of both.

    Hugs to you Brenda. May you have a warm fuzzy day also.

    Sue

    Hey Traci, I am an expander girl too!

    They tell me that once we get our implants it will be better.

    In the beginning I remember getting the urge to get them both taken out but then the pain eased a bit.

    I apparently do too much with my arms- like mowing the lawn and raking etc and that makes it worse.

    Of course, I have no one else to do those things so I bought a lighter weight vacuum and a light weight leaf blower and my dad came down the day I had to have one of my expanders replaced and mowed my lawn so short it never grew back! (read: KILLED IT)

    Angel and you and I will have to just hang in there I think!!!!

    Everyone is  mentioning other sites, mine included. Please know I will continue to post here and try to be as supportive as possible to the girls I meet and know here. Yes, it is true, this place has lost a lot of its warmth. I don't know why they made such drastic changes or how the order of forums were selected or why is it so hard to answer or read PMs.  But if anyone needs to find me, you can pm me here or visit my little place, and I will do my best to help in any way I can.

    Love,

    g

    CHERI>Yes I'm in NE Oklahoma

    CY>hope you are feeling better,  what DVD's did you rent? I'm a little behind in renting movies since we've been going full blast with tv seasonal dvds.

    MARGARETB>glad your BIL is doing fine!  

      I think alot of us have a hard time dealing with changes like this website because we've had to deal with so much life changing things since being diagnosed with breast cancer. Thus one more upset just jars us after getting used to doing/seeing things on the old website. I have decided to pull up my bootstraps and deal with it like everything else that has come my way lately.

      I didn't know there was a rule about linking to other websites...is that new or always been a rule?

    Wild/Jan -- there's no such rule about posting links to other websites.  If there were then I would have been modded for it.

    Marsha just called and she'd doing real well after surgery but her computer was down last night so it's in the shop today. As soon as she gets it back she'll be on to post. She sounded really good.

    Jazzy Baby, is there a Rule of Conduct about NO Fruit Flys? hahahha

    Have a good day,

    A warm healthy hug for all my circle sisters! ( ok a very gentle warm healthy hug from me)

    I slept in today which was nice. the pain is there but I refuse to let it rule me. But I hate sleeping on my back all night! I have a soft pillow that I just wrap my arms around and hug it all night. (Scott has very vivid dreams and sometime those arms of his go flying so I have to protect my chest with the pillow. I normally sleep facing away from him. He always wakes up if he does connect with me but my then it can be yoo late. He always feels so bad when it happens.)

    Collen whe don't care if your not here as often we just want to make sure you're OK. That goes for everyone.

    I know the changes around here are taking a bit of getting use to but stop in and let us know you're  OK or how we can get in touch with you so we can check on you. We just don't want any sisters hurting and us not know so we can give some comfort. That's why we are here so we can share with othewr that GET IT!

    Took me forver to get Scott to realize I hated my hair cause some was about an inch longer that the new stuff that's growing in. When he finally did get it he trimmed my hair for me and now I feel more comfortable going without my scarf outside! I don't feel like a scarecrow anymore!

    Let's see I got several movies as I haven't watched any in a long time  I got Eragon, Because I said So, Wild Hogs, The Holiday and the Conspirator. So far I've watched the first one.

    Thonk I'll go move the cat off my chair and watch another one her e in a minute,

    I'll try to check back later

    Hugs and Prayers

    Doing a fly by at lunch time.  Brenda, I agree with you.  There was a lot of turmoil going on around here, then the changes hit and I found myself not posting nearly as much.  I still post in both places because I want to keep in touch with all my friends.

    Traci, welcome.

    Cheryl, counting the days huh?  I would be.

    Cheri, thanks for the update on Marsha.

    CY, you'll like Wild Hogs; Because I Said So was ok.

    Wild/Jan, thanks for keeping him in your thoughts.

    Ok, time to post on the Hamptons.

    Margaret

    SoCal:  Yep, that was my biggest blunder of the day.  I woke up from a dead sleep to see the very end of that game.  What a heartbreaker.  Sorry they lost.Undecided

    CY:  Sorry your having to go through all of this.  I can see you not wanting to give into to resting!  Hope the movies are great.  I am definitely not a back sleeper myself.

    OK - it really is diner time, I gotta go.

    Hi Friends!

    Wow, Nicki......are we actually posting at the same time?!?!?!?!   I haven't read anything on either site yet..........seems to be the norm for me lately!

    Hoping I'll find good news on Cy, Marsha and Margarets BIL, along with the others going through procedures.

    I don't think I'll be doing much typing tonight..................I took a new client today.................what was I thinking.  More like, I didn't know.   Okay, I'm looking for sympathy here..................you all "understand!"   I have not been doing transfers/lifts for quite awhile.  The client protocol sheet stated......assist with transfers.  Anyhow, both of my hands are killing me........waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.  They've been pretty good lately, and I thought maybe I was beyond the hurting hands.  Anyhow, I won't whine anymore cuz I don't have any cheese to offer you.

    Hope everyone is having a good evening.......I'm gonna go read up and check the Hamptons.........hands permitting, I'll be back!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    BooSue .. Hugs to you. 


    Gina .. Hanging in there right with you! 


    Wild/Jan .. I think you're right about alot of us having a hard time dealing with changes.  Enough already!


    Jasmine .. Hi girlfriend, miss you.


    Cheri .. So glad to hear about Marsha.  'everynight' hahaha


    (((( CY )))) .. I wouldn't let Karl sleep with me for a week after each fill when I was in so much pain.  I just couldn't bear it if he bumped my chest! I'm not a back sleeper either and it sucks! With running to the doctor everyday for bandage changes and doing chemo I hope you're able to get enough rest.  I'm happy you're not working on top of it!  Enjoy your movies.


    Margaret .. I agree, Wild Hogs was a riot!


    Traci .. One great thing about the circle is there's nothing that's off topic.  We talk about everything here!


    Bren .. I think I missed something, what's the door prize from?  Hope it's a good one!


    Lisa .. thinking ... lol


    Nicki .. enjoy dinner!
