This thread is for those who want to step out of the day-to-day world that is consumed with Doctors, treatments, side effects, worry, pain, etc. and escape to a place that is silly and fun!
Anything goes, EXCEPT causing anyone more stress in their lives 
... so be cool!
ESCAPE to a place that gives you comfort and an opportunity to meet some new friends along the way..

Well good morning Checkum. This looks like a wonderful idea. Lots of times simply being at home gives me comfort but it's fun to imagine isn't it?
I hope you are feeling stronger every day. Gentle hugs, Sharon. |

This is a good idea. I have no plans for the day, but it is NOT dr or medical stuff. However, Thursday I get a herceptin tx and Muga scan. Can't escape it completely, but I am trying. Take care of 2 things while I am over there... Try as I might, I cannot post pictures, but bubble bath looks good. |

Hi Lefty... Posting pics is a bit of a process. Here is how I do it... first I do a search for pics of what I want to add a visual piece to... like I just googled "singing to the radio pics" Up comes a bunch of pictures... I find one and right click on it and save it to a folder Then I go to Image Shack and upload it to get the link that allows me to post it here Then you click on the little picture icon to the left of the smily face in this box and post the link on the line that says Image URL, then go down near the Dimension boxes (anywhere) and click so that the image size is loaded and then submit... that is really it... still sounds complicated though LOL Have you checked your boobs today?

The Dimension (size) fills in automatically - but you need it to fill in before you submit it so that the image posts correctly Have you checked your boobs today?

I just google a pic and either use the thumbnail or the larger pic if that works. Then I click copy, go back to the thread and paste. It's a bit harder than that but I am not very computer savy and can't remember all the steps. Only in my dreams, lol. |

I have a macintosh, which is much easier than others at times. But it does not like posting pictures. It could also be that I do not have windows. One of these days I will "get it" and you had better watch out... LOL. The Cherry Blossoms are almost ready to burst here ( i am near DC ). A stroll along the Tidal Basin is very peaceful. The bartlett pear trees are in full bloom and it looks like a bridal convention with white blooms filling the scenery. |
