    I know!  How dare they! 

    I'm simultaneously eating a cookie and an apple right now, hoping the apple goodness will counteract the cookie badness.  Tongue out

    OK heres by bitch for the day and its not breast cancer related.  When you see the smiley central thingy on some posts.  DO NOT LOAD IT!  Not only did I get a trojan virus, I lost my ability to get my addresses.  Couldnt copy or paste songs etc.  It took me almost 2 hours to fix this.

    Thank goodness for McAfee virus scans and the uninstall button.

    Heres the song I was trying to post when I found out all of the above stuff happened.

    Mine got up with the damn dogs this morning. I awakened to the smell of bacon (!) and scones.  A couple cups of coffee, some marionberry jam, and.....Are you going to start the taxes?  Send in the 529 account checks? 

    My shoulders are killing me. I spent a couple of years in PT for frozen shoulder/bursitis/tendonitis. I don't know what I did, but there are sharp pains in both of them..time to start the mega-doses of Motrin.

    The skin/muscle between right chest and shoulder is tight.  I noticed this week that it didn't stretch as much as the left side. Must be a lingering SE of rads. Never thought about it cooking things up.

    Ah, but it's nothing compared to some of this stuff. It all sucks. My mom ended up with type 2 diabetes after her BC. She's now experiencing neruopathy in her feet. Who said it? The gift that keeps on giving?

    Traci - that cigar ash would end up in someone's bed if it twer me...

    (((hugs)))) all.

    Nicki, I've had smiley central in my Outlook Express for more than 5 years....literally...it might be like 9 years cuz I used it in business all the time to calm down pissed off customers and make sales....and I've never had a problem. Now there is another one, I can't remember what it's called (imagine that) that did corrupt my computer. Sorry you had that problem girl. Cancer is a bitch but computer problems are .... a bitch too!

     I'm sittin' at my computer on a Saturday cuz I HAVE to do my taxes......there's a bitch.....

    I was looking back at the posts cuz it seems to me that I saw an "advertisement" on someone's post after a smiley was pasted. Maybe that was the site. I can't find it now but I did find this:

    Photobucket

    Hi All,

    Heather, I am so sorry about your kitten. As I have no children except the furry kind, I understand how much pain there is with the loss of a pet. I lost my Pepper 3 years ago and after 3 days, I could no longer stand the pain and went and got Petey from a shelter 45 miles away because I could take him home that day. He did not take away the grief but he provided a lot of love and happiness that helped fill that hole in my heart. Today, He is the most unselfish cat (I know it's an oxymoron) I have. I think he feels my pain better than my husband. Of course we spend more time together. 

    I have been filled with pain and swelling legs and feet. My onc had given me some Lortab and I have been taking them, but can't stand how they make me feel and decided to quit them today. I am so sore (muscles, joints, bones, head). I can barely roll out of bed. I can't bend my legs because of the swelling (lasix is not doing anything).

    I was supposed to go to a pot luck supper tonight and have pot load of fruits for a fruit salad. My husband refuses to eat fruit unless it comes out of a can??????? So I'll be eating fruit for awhile.

    PSK07, Marionberries. I remember those from our trip to Oregon. We found a patch of what we thought were the biggest, tastiest blackberries in late season. My husband and I gorged oureselves sick. Yes he ate them. We were later told they were marionberries.....mmmmm......the memories.

    Well, hubby is home. He stays away all the time. Tired of my bitching. Gotta put on a smile...grrr.....maybe 1 lortab.

    ok...gotta get this out of my system so I can quite friggin bawling about it and feeling sorry for myself (which I hate!!)...I budget every penny I spend and do just fine for a single mom.  We have our own home and I drive a 2004 vehicle that has low mileage...a decent job etc.

    Anyhooo...the lovely price of fuel oil has risen so high that no budget in the world can cover it.  Soooo...I ran out of fuel about a week ago.  I have paid over 2100.00 this winter to heat my house.  I called to see about getting fuel...you have to order 150 gallons and the price is...hang on your hats ladies...638.00!!  Who the hell has a spare 600 bucks laying around.  So...I swallow my pride and go to the county and sign up for what is called HEAP...its an energy assistance program that we have here.  Guess what...I make 40.00 a month too much to qualify...tough shit...too bad...see ya later! 

    I am so stinkin disqusted.  I leave my house at 7am and don't get home till 5:30 every day of the week...I worked through chemo...I was back at work one week after my bilateral...I worked through rads.  I work when I'm sick, I work when I'm tired...I bust my ass and guess what.  Fall through the cracks.

    I know that I'm not the only one...do you know what they suggested...that I take a cut in pay as it would pay me more because I would have my fuel and electric paid for through them!  There are the very poor who can get benefits (and I would never begrudge them of that right)and the very rich who don't need them and then there are those of us who are stuck in the middle with no help at all.  IT SUCKS.

    There...I'm done..it was embarrassing as hell to have to go sign up and something I will NEVER do again.  I have heat as I am using our propane fireplace and we are using just part of the house till spring comes...its ok...I am tough and we will and are managing just fine...it just makes me so sad.  Why does everything come so damn hard and Lord knows what all the other people out there are doing that are in the same boat.Cry

    Hugging you all...

    Angel & Otter,

    Thanks for the advice!  I think the numb left LE hand could be from the LE... My LE therapist told me to NEVER wear rings again, but I have been feeling naked, since I can't wear my wedding rings again.  SO, I bought a cheap ring at Wal-Mart, and I think that may be what caused the numbness.  I am still having some tingling, but it is mostly just my ring finger and my pinky, so that seems to indicate that it could just be le related, and stupid me, for trying to wear a ring, when I was TOLD not to wear rings anymore.

    Thanks

    Harley

    Debbie,

    One more Lortab won't hurt ... we can go to rehab together.

    Vickie ... you have got to move SOUTH!!  Come down here by Brenda and me. 

    And another bitch .. I'm working my ass off today AND I got a nasty gram from the doctor I transcribe for this a.m.  I am seeing RED and beating the living hell out of my keyboard.  His office has totally f--ed up and they have blamed me for everything.  I know this, because his staff has repeatedly told me they are afraid of him and blame everything on me cause I'm not there!!!  Well, after 2 1/2 years of this I finally freakin' had it this morning.  I sent him a weeks worth of emails from HIS OFFICE to me with ALL OF THEIR mistakes begging me to get their mess straightened out.  From now on, I'm not the fall guy for his office TWITS. 

    I think next time he rags my ass over THEIR b.s. I'll have to mention that I'm no longer going to transcribe his stuff while he's peeing and drunk on the voice files!

    Okay... back to work.

    love to all with bigger problems than mine.

    Bren

    Bren!

    I have something similar at work -- among other things, in my department I am the "liaison" to a certain administrative office at a big university.  In that office there are like 6 women doing the work of 1, while I'm 1 expected to do the work of 6!  Anyway, I realized that they've been blaming all delays on me!  To the extent that their boss is calling my supervisor to complain about me!  I've never experienced such backstabbing -- now I realize I have to document every interaction with them...

    Grrrr!!!!!

    Ann - Yea buddy ... I document and save everything ... that way when they want to know why I didn't send XYZ report, I just forward the very same email I sent them the week before with the report.  Last week they lost the same report I sent FOUR times.  Doc wants to know what my problem is!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I said, Hey buddy ... ask your staff!!

    Just call me "CYA BREN"  Thank god I'm self-employed.

    Vickie, if you hurry you can get here at the same time as my mom AND warm up!!!  I know she'll love you and Nate.  And bring the pets too.  Got plenty of room.  Hell, we'll build you your own house in the vacant field!!!  I'm gonna email you the local jobs link. Oh, and you'll be closer to Sarah.

    I feel for you Ann.  Yell

    PS - We ran out of fuel for the tank last week too. I misread my little stick that I check it with. 100 gal = $385 = 1 month.  Poor Mr. Tim hates to be cold, but I really conserve and probably couldn't get by with that if we had children in the house. 

    Edited to read - I can't complain about our fuel cost after reading what you gals are paying!! Yikes.

    Vickie, I'll jump in on your bitch... We ran out of gas when it was the coldest, the company used to come out and check the tanks periodically but WERE bought out and threw out all of the route paperwork... It cost us $750 to come out and put in 150 gallons,,,

    so that lets us know that propane is as much as gas for out cars..

    Our house has a gas range, water heater and heat, we keep the house at 62 (I have my own little electric heater that I use religiously) we can go all summer with one tank but not during the winter...

    Heather sorry about your fur baby

    Nikki, I keep hitting and missing you  :-)

    Wow...just read in the local paper that in one day 97 people signed up for HEAP!  Now we are in a small community and thats one hell of a lot of people in one day!  Then I come and see that I'm not the only one here either.  I refuse to give the fuel companies one more dime than I have to!

    (((Surreal)))...now thats the saddest thing I've read in a long time.  Are you ok?  Come back and check in.

    Just have to second Vickie's sentiments about the fuel, and being a single mom.  Thanks Vickie...you spoke for me as well.  We do fall through the cracks...and then we are stuck!  The fuel to heat my house..and boy I keep the temp. low....brrrr...and the fuel for my 1999 vehicle..is insane!! I feel like that is where all of my money is going!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    Thanks for letting me rant!

But the thing I have to BITCH about is they had a "Survivor Tent" So I had my pink shirt on bout to walk in all proud cause people are clapping an taking pictures an this stupid 18 yr old Chick wanted to call her a different name but I wont who is letting survivors in puts her hand up an say Um excuse me this is a survivor area only an I dont understand why you have a pink shirt on you are to young to have breast cancer she said it in such a RUDE way just wait a couple more years lady you could be were im at!....... I than proceeded to lift up my shirt so she can see my radiated bi lat mast chest an she was so embarrassed! A fellow survivor sister walks up to her an says you should be ashamed of yourself breast cancer has no age an why are you working the survivor area volunteering an you havent done your research! Im so tired of people thinking that im to young trust me if I could of had a choice I wouldnt be apart of this "CLUB" Sorry I was just very very disappointed that they would put somebody there who is so uneducated!

    Oooooooh! If I had been beside you, girl, I would have knocked that little twit's teeth into her ponytail! grrrrrr! 

    I than proceeded to lift up my shirt so she can see my radiated bi lat mast chest

    Yes! That's what I'm talkin'bout! I'm so proud of you! I hope that was a moment that stays with her for life. I also think someone at Komen needs to know that their Volunteer Training ought to cover the fact that this is not only "your mother's disease". Shit. What a time and place to be dispespected - after all that we endure from the 'public'. Yell This was supposed to be a safe place for a survivor. I'll write them a letter if you don't want to.Yell

    Sorry I was just very very disappointed

    Hon, this ordeal SUCKED. Don't you even apologize for bitching about it. This little bitch deserves a good smack-down from a few tit-less or scarred-foob friends of yours. I'd sign up for the posse, but unfortunately my wrath doesn't quite extend to TX. However I can write one scathing letter.
