Hi Sue! You "boiled" your wig? I won't ask why.Were you thinking of bootface and dicided to take it out on your wig?! You crack me up...

I have learned sooo many new words from you! I love it. "I got my cob on ", yeaaaaa.

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! , STOP lifting things. Make the young studlees at work do it. Thats what their there for. Your the boss , do your stuff. I like Dr. Chan! Uppin' the anti-Ds. Good for him.

Thanks Sue for the jolly brussel sprouts card! How cute is that! Hope you had a nice relaxing bath.xxxx

Shirlann , look at the bright side. Your house is sparkling clean. You don't have to have Christmas at your house this year. You can go to their house , help mess it up for the holiday , and then go back to your squeeky clean humble abode. Hey , I bet the cat rescue lady will NEVER call you again!lol Oh Shirlann , you have to give Walt a BIG hug and do something nice for him. What a guy! A big hug to you Shirlann. In a year your will be holding your little sweetpea , telling her all the stuff you had to go through for her. And this will just be a bad memory.xxxx

Melody, Here we never know what to expect. Friday we had ice on the cars in the morning with low temps about 30. Monday, tues, and Wed we are having unseasonably high temps in the middle 70's. I actually went shopping last night without a coat. The ski resorts just up the mountains from me (30 min drive to the closest) wish that it would turn cold and stay cold so that they can make their snow. They opened up for Thanksgiving, we had a cold snap then but it warmed up so much that the snow they made melted and they can't make any more. I looked at my perpetual calendar where I write down important stuff year to year and in 2004 and 2005 we had an ice storm on Dec 4. Usually we get the worst part of the winter weather in Jan or Feb but if it snows it usually is gone in a day or two.

Sheila

Oh, and Lisa, pitch that wig, girl!!  You're never going to need it again!

Sue, The ice is in the midwest I live in the southeast in one of the coast states and they are saying the ice storm be a 7-10 day event. The storm is over but it may take that long for the power to be turned back on and some of the people may still be in the emergency shelters at the schools during Christmas. The problem is they may get the power turned on in an area but the ice is breaking the trees and taking the power lines back down.

I saw on the news that the salt trucks with chains on the tires were even sliding on the ice.

(salt truck - dump truck loaded with salt and spreader to distribute the salt on the ice to melt it)

I am originally from Ohio where they are getting part of this storm but not the brunt of it. I love living in the south. They did say that this past monday was the first time the temps reached 80 in December. Our normal high is middle 50's, normal low is middle 30's for this time of the year.

Sheila

Hi Sue! Yes , yes , yes. Absolutely ,100% chemo makes you more tired than you have ever been in your life! I remember crying , and telling my SO that I didn't think I would ever feel energy again. I truly believed it at that time. Nothing in my life ever made me feel as bad as chemo. I literally felt half dead. But when it was over , my energy is back , unfortunately my appitite , and I feel as good as ever. And thats why we went through it before you and Karen and anyone else , so we can reassure you it gets better when your done. So cry , whine , get mad. Its OK. We did all that too. Just remember you will feel better after chemo.xxxxx

wow Sheila , I didn't realize you can have severe winter weather there.

An x-Ohioan! I did live in Tennessee for five years. I just couldn't take the hot , hot summers! My mom and sister and her family still live there. I talked to them Sunday and they said it was near 80! And I like the change of seasons here in Ohio. But I DON'T like the ice storm that is coming tonight! I might just have a snow day off of work tomorrow.

Ha ha Karen and Sue , I got to see the picture of Lisa first na na na na na na!!! She does look so pretty. Hurry home Lisa. I hope you had a safe trip.

Oh Sue , that is fasinating about great grand-pop. I would love to do a family tree. I know I have relatives in England and Hungary.

How is your dad feeling? I hope all is going well with him.

I do not know what I would do without this thread.  First of all Sue, you nut, OF COURSE chemo makes you tired, most gals can't make both legs and arms work at the same time, let alone get out of bed!  And you are WORKING!!!!  Most of us would be UNDER the bed, if we were accomplishing what you are, they would interview us for SUPERWOMAN.

Ah my dear Melody!  You are so right!  I was sitting on my tush, in the garage, with my sweet little kitty on my lap, and I thought, what the heck am I upset about!  No one will come near us, I cancelled Christmas dinner, we are all going out, hahahaha, the best Christmas ever~~

I love all you lovely women, I wish we all were together in a snow lodge, with a big fire, and an egg nog in each hand, kids, gifts, trees, husbands, in-laws, all far, far away, with nothing but a single bed with a huge down quilt waiting for us!!!!!    Maybe this is a plan????

Love you all, and Sue, for God's sake, slow down and sit down and just maybe take a break in front of the fire for a few minutes.  I can see you were a dynamo, it is easier to get breast cancer if you are a couch potato to begin with!

Hugs, and hugs, and hugs, Shirlann

Oh, that was sweet, I know, it is hard to believe we are all so far apart.  Dang it!  If I was Bill Gates, we would all spend a week in a lovely resort, bring whomever you want!  Would'nt that be fun?  I would get to see you all, hug you still you stopped breathing.

Ah, dreams, I will buy a Lottery Ticket.

Thanks, Mamma Mia,  Shirlann
