TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Hi Ladies!

Warren's play was fantastic, he did really well and all the kids were just cute as buttons. Long weekend with my family up, and my poor sister ended up getting stranded here due to the snow.

I think I'm going to try to do some reading, as Warren is at his Dad's tonight and I finally have some free time. Might even break the old Notepad out and take some notes - what a concept!!!

Hugs to all,

Colleen

Lucy:  OMG, I only Wish I had that kind of talent!  I'm only an admirer and posting anothers beautiful work! 

Colleen:  Hey girlfriend, so nice to see you here!  I've been wondering about Warren's play.  I remember how worried you were when he couldn't remember his lines early on for practice.  So glad he did well! 

SoCal-I love that!

I have an onc follow-up tomorrow and blood work. Praying for happy results and a continued dance with NED.

Holy Smokes!

You nailed it Naniam! The only problem would be that the 'bad guys' won't recognize themselves! They have an agenda (kinda soap opra) and have totally lost sight of the target. They are the 'operate behind the scene' email/pm'ers who just love chaos.

I've been a observer of late, know the importance of 'support' because it got me thru.

Jeeze people, don't make me name names!

All my heart,

Deese

MB you went to Niagra Falls?? Was there snow on the ground?? how much.  Inches or Feet?  I bet it was cold.

Colleen, we want pictures!

Brenda, you mentioned there was an increase in posters here.  I know several people who are no longer allowed to post at the Hamptons so I imagine that would account for some of the extra traffic.

I know that cassieruns is NOT Cheri.  I don't know why so many of you are so quick to blame her for everything. 

I really don't know who is my friend here and who isn't.  That's probably why I don't post much anymore.  This is no longer the circle that I loved and supported.

see ya.

MB:  How I wish I was at Niagara Falls with you!

Lisa:  Good pic!

Jas:  LOL

BMD:  Praying with you my friend

Susan:  I hear ya.  Good point about the increase in posters! 

I'm feeling blue and weepy tonight.  This is supposed to be a support site for breast cancer survivors.  The game playing is very old and tiring.  The bashing of certain people over and over is ridiculous.  I just hit my 10th month since my dx and I'm still shocked and amazed at the way some of the sisterhood behaves. 

There's a thing called accountability.  The Miriam Webster dictionary defines it as this: 

an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.  So what does Account mean?  A lot of things but the one that applies here is this:  3 a: a statement explaining one's conduct b: a statement or exposition of reasons, causes, or motives  c: a reason for an action.   What does Responsibility mean?  A lot of things and I'll list them all:  1: the quality or state of being responsible: as a: moral, legal, or mental accountability b: reliability; trustworthiness 2: something for which one is responsible: burden <has neglected his responsibilities>

Moral ... now That's a Good word.  What does it mean?  1 a: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ethical <moral judgments> b: expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior <a moral poem> c: conforming to a standard of right behavior d: sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment <a moral obligation> e: capable of right and wrong action <a moral agent>

My point is this.  Those people causing trouble here and those stirring the pot need to just go away.  I'm not here for this.  Only a handful of you are.  Just go away.  You have your place to post and leave the rest of us alone to be here for the right reasons ... to support one another and be supported as breast cancer survivors and fighters.  I am so stressed out over all of this.  I trust the moderators are paying close attention and I thank them for keeping this board safe.  We All deserve a safe place, not just the popular posters or the oldies or the ones who claim they are here to support and love.  In fairness, not a single one of us breast cancer survivors should have to put up with the troublemakers on what is a support site. 

Now can we get back to why we're all here please?

Good morning all...

Have a hectic day today. Work from 9am - 9pm. I get 2 hours off for lunch/dinner, so I am going to take it together to visit a cousin who just had a hysterectomy. She is a bc survivor too. She had a fast growing fibroid in her uterus that was larger than a grapefruit. She goes faithfully to her gyn appts each year...but they never saw it, or so they claim. In Oct. she couldn't urinate one day...went to urologist...did a scan and saw this fibroid. So naturally she changed gyns' and hence the hyster. The urol. said the fibroid was leaning on her bladder.

Brenda/BMD good luck with onc appt.

Deb, cool going to school on a snowmobile

To all...have a wonderful day

Hugs and prayers,

Candie

"Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could.  Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." - Mother Teresa

Good Morning to a New Day and to all of you

Candie:  It always amazes me how large fibroids can be.  Is she on Tamoxifen?  I understand that can cause very fast growing fibroids in the uterus. So sweet of you to visit your cousin in the midst of your long work day. 

BMD:  Thinking of you today and sending positive vibes

Love and hugs to all,

Charlene

Lisa....NO SURRENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never stopped totally posting here but in November I am one that found myself in the "spot" of having no where else to post.  There was no one here and often I felt why continue or why care as everyone was off posting elsewhere.

At that time many were posting only at one of the other places and some occasionally at both the other sites from when the changes were made here.  Then one day folks started to arrive and - it was like a tornado went through.   There are lots of us that can no longer post at all the sites that were started - either by our actions or our choice.  There is nothing wrong with the increase in post - when folks come with the purpose being a warm and caring, nurturing nature.  

BMD - thinking of you today; I've got the hot chocolate ready. 

Good Morning sisters!  A very cold 20 degrees this morning!

NEESE>so it was just a coincidence and not the same boy or related!

I slept in a bit this morning so was a little late in taking pics for a change. There was a dusting of snow in the sunrise this morning.

wow...I would love to make this photo my desktop! It is georgeous!

Wild/Jan:  That's lovely.  Our earth is just a beautiful place and thank you for reminding us of that with your pics Jan!

We're expecting that cold white stuff today too with sleet and ice to top it off!  Yuck!

I was surprised the AccuW mod didn't pick that picture for today...instead he/she picked this one a dusting of snow patterns on the roof. I least expected this one to be picked...I'm sharing the smaller version here. As I expected though he/she is looking for something "different" from me.
