    Sue, one way to help clean your keys out is to turn your keyboard upside down and shake it side to side. this should help disloge any crumbs under the keys. I even tap the edge of it on the table. You can also, with it turned off, run the vacuum dust brush over the keyboard to pull up any crumbs. Hope this helps from the IT Support Desk. I support more than people, I work on computers.

    I just finished watching Connie and I am sitting here with a big smile on my face and tears running down to my chin! What a darling! What a voice! Such a beautiful song. Thank you so much for posting that link Lisa. T

    I have been listening to Eva Cassidy singing "How Can I Keep From Singing" - so beautiful and uplifting.

    Sleep well everyone over the pond.

    love,

    Jane xxx

    Sue - I think on of the reasons we love the movie so much is because of lines like this.............

    Dorothy says
    Some place where there isn't any trouble.
    Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be.
    Not a place you can get to by a boat or a train.
    It's far, far away - behind the moon - beyond the rain -

    (Over The Rainbow)

    and this...............................................................

    Scarecrow
    Look! Here's someone who can help you.
    Dorothy
    Oh - will you help me? Can you help me?
    Glinda
    You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
    Dorothy
    I have?
    Scarecrow
    Then why didn't you tell her before?
    Glinda
    Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
    Tin Man
    What have you learned, Dorothy?
    Dorothy
    Well, I - I think that it - that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. And that it's
    that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard,
    because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?
    Glinda
    That's all it is!
    Scarecrow
    But that's so easy! I should have thought of it for you.
    Tin Man
    I should have felt it in my heart.
    Glinda
    No. She had to find it out for herself. Now those magic slippers will take you home in two seconds!
    Dorothy
    Oh! Toto, too?
    Glinda
    Toto, too.
    Dorothy
    Oh, now?
    Glinda
    Whenever you wish.
    Dorothy
    Oh, dear, that's too wonderful to be true! Oh, it's - it's going to be so hard to say goodbye. I love you all, too.
    Goodbye Tin Man. Oh, don't cry. You rust so dreadfully. Here, here's your oil can. Goodbye.
    Tin Man
    Now I know I've got a heart, 'cause it's breaking.
    Dorothy
    Oh. Goodbye, Lion. You know, I know it isn't right, but I'm gonna miss the way you used to holler for help
    before you found your courage.
    Lion
    Well, I would never've found it if it hadn't been for you.
    Dorothy
    I think I'll miss you most of all.
    Glinda
    Are you ready now?

    Sue - Hope you managed to get some sleep.  Better yet, I hope you stayed home!!

    Lisa - hope you are feeling better with each passing day.  We missed you so much around here.  By the way, I wanted to tell you.  I signed up to be a mystery shopper!!!  A lady on another thread gave me a ton of info on it.  If you are interested let me know and I will pm you.  I do my first one next week - McDonald's!!

    Karen - so sorry to hear you are having a difficult time.  I remember when I finished chemo I was struggling as well.  I kept thinking, OK, thats it - all the huppla is over - so I guess I'm cure???  I felt let down in a way.  Does that make sense???  It was a very strange feeling.

    Looking forward to hearing from Ulla this weekend, missed her as well.

    Well gotta get some work done,

    Hi Sisters,

    Sue...you have to be very tired to today!! Silly girl.

    AE, I will pm you for that secret shopper info. Thanks for all of the beautiful words from our dear Wizard of Oz movie.  I remember about the time that I joined here, shortly after there was talk about the yellow brick road, and I remember saying something about the Emerald City.  We would have to go back in the posts to early Nov. or late Oct. to see how it all started.

    Where is our Melody?? I don't think I have seen her here since I came back on?  If I did, it's my lack of memory..and I am sorry Mel.  I still feel tired, sore and very fuzzy.  I can't even bring myself to read my mail. 

    Sisters...I am very down lately, and I know that I shouldn't be and it will pass.  But I then got bad news this morning.  A woman that I have emailed with, who went through her bc journey at the same time I did.  Well, I have never met her, even though she lives not too far away (she is a business aquaintance of my brother, that is how we got hooked up), well I got an email from her today.  Please pray for her...they found cancer now on her spine!! I just started bawling when I read it.  She said they are not sure how long she has....years??  I just can't stand this...it's so damn unfair!! I am so mad, sad..........GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Why, why?  I feel like now, I will live in fear that, I too can have my cancer show up somewhere else!  I know she did not complete all of her chemo tx's...because she couldn't take it anymore..so she didn't finish them.  Would this have caused it?  Oh...I AM SOOOO SAD!!

    I am sorry sisters....I will go now....I just need your prayers and support now so very much!

    I love you all.

    xoxo

    Lisa

    Oh, Lisa- I am so sorry to hear about your friend.  I am sure the fact that she stopped her treatment certainly didn't help her situation.

    If there is one thing I know, it is that there are no guarantees in life.   Will the cancer spread is anybodies guess.   We are all vulnerable.  That is why we MUST live our life to the fullest and enjoy every moment.

    I HATE THIS DISEASE.

    {{{{ Lisa }}}} 

    Please know you have been through milestones recently ...and furthermore have a lot of feelings for your dear friends health..which in turn ignite big fears....in anyone that has been down our road...I am praying you will find something to hang on to and know these are moments.  No-one knows what the furture holds...we all only have today...nobody is promiseed tomorrow .... healthhy or otherwise....LISA THINGS WILL GET BETTER.... xxx I am so sorry to hear of your friend.... there are just no guarantees .... just abslolutely none ...very cruel...but Aunty Em ..hits the nail...LETS ALL TRY AND LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT WHEN WE CAN.    my mum would have and many others would give their right arm to be in our position...xxx

    Well Embarassed  I had 2 hours sleep ...and went to work an 8 hour shift without stop...it was so busy .... i just couldnt get away...between 9 and 5pm was like a tornado belt....and the close the staff did last night was so atrocious....well the air was blue for a good part of the morning...

    Oh god sisters...the journey is so hard ...for us all....emotionally draining and never really ending ....We have to learn to live with it...which can be absolutely impossible when we are so blinkered and weak from treatment and surgery.... but people do live with it...

    Heres what I tell myself....after chemo ..I will no doubt feel deflated...like A E said...but I am going to get back up...look after my health...and live live live.... in case it does come back ...and I missed a chance of happy times...xxx

    Sorry this post is wonky I been wired all day .... which my colleagues think is amazing... I also cut my spare wig into a nice bob like cut and have loads of nice compliments today ....oh my...if only they knew how dark thinking I am..... tears of a clown xxx

    Off for a bath and I am going to read up some more script ... of W of OZ...  

    Much Love xxx

    We may have Ulla back tomorrow .... Laughing

    ps 

    I have been eating loads of sweet stuff of late... is it safe to get dental work done ...given the treatment xxx

    Sue, there are times I don't want to realize how old I am and remember things that happened in the past. When I was a senior in high school a nephew of a member of our church came, he was in the Air Force and was stationed at the coast of NC. He came up several times to visit his aunt and uncle. We never had any 'dates' as such, only wrote to each other a lot. I stopped hearing from him for a couple of years - he got transfered to Alaska. Then on V-day about 5 yrs after I saw him last, he called to wish me a happy V-day. I was asking about what he was doing and he said that he was married and had a 2 yr old daughter. Boy did I go off the deep end, What do you mean calling me and you are married! Then about 14 yrs ago, he stopped by my parents house, he was out of the Air Force and driving a truck. I don't know what he wanted me to say or do.

    Just be kind to her, she has nothing to do with what happened between you and her father.

    talk about rambling about on this thread...

    Sue - to answer your ? about dental work - they DON"T recommend it.  I actually even had to wait a full year before my dentist even took xrays!! 

    The story about your ex's girl is tooo funny!!!  What a small world, huh?

    I remember when I used to do hiring and the applicants birth year was the same year I graduated from school!!!  Talk about old!!!!Yell By the way, talk, yell, cry, scream, spit on bootface all you want!!!

    Some day when I have time I will tell you  all the story of my high school sweetheart. He's still in love with me!!! Surprised 

    Back to work,I'm leaving in a few minutes, I'll check back in a bit.

    Aunty Em ... you spurned  your sweethearts love Surprised .....Kiss

    The first thing I do when I read a CV is to look at the birthdate and punish myself..with ...how old would I have been then ..etc... lol...the age thing justt creeps up from nowhere!!!

    Danielle the girl I took on is just so sweet...I would die of embarassment if she knew...and I am sure she would!!! I had to confide in Blaire .... she promises me she won't say a word..lol...but she was laughing...lol....

    I just found it all so haunting.. ...water passing so quick under a bridge....I am sure I was only 16 at the time.......it was like god...where does time go more than anything ...all the living all the happiness ...and the trials...all the work.. all the grafting... raising the bairns...getting married ...relocating countless times... deaths births... divorce....boys schools.... jobs....driving test....everything condensed into a solitary thought .....each and every path woven....xxx

    Now I really must get up and have a bath...I just fell asleep for a while before xxx

    Life is what we make it at the time....xxx

    Having bootface and being slapped in the face with mortality is a right big thing to deal with xxx

    BUT GIRLS WE ARE HERE...WE ARE FEELING IT WE ARE WITH OUR LOVED ONES...EVERYTHING CAN STILL BE WARM AND HAPPY IF WE LEARN TO LOOK RIGHT IN FRONT OF US...AND STAY FOCUSED IN THE MOMENT XXX

    Much Love xxx

    Sue, I find myself falling asleep while watching the tv at night and wake up an hour later wondering what happened! Of course that happened before the bootface showed up. so I have no excuse.

    I started dealing with my mortality when my aunt had cancer when I was 18 and she lived with us while undergoing her treatments.

    I never thought it so lovely to drop off for some much needed sleep as I do these days.... I quite enjoy the respite my body gets...xxx

    I never quite came to terms with mortality when my mum was dying at the time I was 17...I ran like hell from it.... I had a break down at 15 when I found out she had b  t f ce ....my dad came to pick me up from school...I just find it difficult to cope with mortality ...etc...I was traumatised and had the most lonliest lonliest feeling as a 7 year old when one of our dearly loved cats died....I am sure it stems somewhere from that frightening wave through my body xxx I remember vaguely wanting to speak out ....but I couldnt put it in to words...xxx

    I am now going to have a bath....lol.....and do next weeks work rota  Undecided  I am way behind at work....bcos I took Monday off sick... I think its way too much responsibility managing a store on my own that is open for up to 19 hours a day Yell

    Lisa the new about your friend is terrible,, Im sending my prayers to her and her family, it the news nobody wants to hear.



    Well I am officially a Single parent! I left my partner a few days ago, he is living with his dad. I just did not love him anymore, even though my cancer experience I didnt want his support or affection.

    Its going to be a big upheavel but I feel as if a huge wieght has been lifted off my shoulders. I can come home and do what I want and not have to keep anyone happy but me and my boys.



    It sounds really cold but I just lost the love...



    Hope you are all feeling good tonight
