I am so saddened to hear about the loss of this young woman.  I read about it yesterday in Commemorating Loved Ones.  There is another picture posted on that thread.  Jodi appeared to always be smiling and you can see the love and pride she had for Zoe.  Again, I am reminded of how much I hate this disease that tends to take the young ones much too often.  My love and prayers to the family during this trying time.  Hugs,  Janie

Mary,   afraid not!!!!!!!!  Cannot dance a lick..... have two left feet and the few times I have tried to dance with a man, I tend to try to lead.  Does that mean I have control issues?   Way back when I was in some musicals, I did learn a few dances like the Charleston....... but that was with someone telling me the exact steps to do.

I do enjoy that show however, and can appreciate those who do dance well.  Wish I could do that.  Maybe some of this blubber would dissolve. 

I read up on the vaccine after reading your post.   Yes, we are lucky to have been dx'ed when we were.  Those who came later are even luckier.  Perhaps someday nobody will have to have surgery or chemo and will not have to put up with lymphedema and other things, and most importatnly will not die from the beast.

It is supposed to be cold here all week.  That will be a change.  I have not had to wear a jacket very often yet.

 Hugs ladies,

Janie 

Mary,  I guess it is time to wait and see what happens.  Sort sounds like the story of our lives these last almost five years.

Went into the GA mountains today.  The leaves are breath-taking.  Had a good little get-away.  I needed it.  This week will be totally insane at work.

Hugs to all,

Janie 

Hey ladies,

Did you all have many goblins?  I did not have as many as last year.  Another week winds down.  I am glad it is the weekend.  I should not wish my life away.  Mary, I figured out I have about 646 marbles left, if I am lucky.  That really puts it all into perspective.

Our schools do really good for the Thanksgiving and Christmas lunches.  But that is about all that is good for the whole year, except on the days they do bag lunches for early release or something.  Not much you can do to a PBJ sandwich.  Actually, it is not their fault.  They used to serve really good food, but now it is dictated to them as to what they have to serve, and I am guessing, they are cutting corners on the suppliers, just like everyone else.  My elementary school used to make the best stromboli I have ever had, bar none.  But they have not made that in years.

Have a great weekend ladies,

Hugs,  Janie 

Oh well, he tries.  He is just a man after all ..... you know how they are ......... clueless.

Hope everyone is doing well.  PJ, have they had any interests in the sale of the paper? 

Mary, did you survive the lunch?   There was a recent announcement at one of my schools that parents could no longer carry in restaurant food to kids in the cafeteria.

I usually eat at my desk while typing ..... I know.... they say that is bad for indigestion ... but so is my neighbor's yapping dogs during dinner.  They seem to know when I sit down to eat and  bark the entire time.  There are 4 of them.  No wonder I have gastritis. 

I had a list of things to do this week and have done hardly any .... still the last of the great procrastinators.   I am off for intersession this week.... needed to do a lot around here.  Send toolman !!!!!!!!!!!!  On second thought ..........................

Later ladies,  janie 

I used to watch L Welk every week too.  Loved that show !

I am trying to think of whom I have actually met in person myself.... hmmmm that would be Paul Revere and the Raiders (all of em), Conway Twitty, Frank Sinatra .... Junior (sorry, had you going for a second didn't I?)  Seems like I am forgetting someone ...... chemo brain still sets in sometimes.

I was on a stationary bike all of about 5 minutes yesterday..... guess that is my contribution to exercise for the week.  If toolman had waited a couple of months for the flashing lights, he could have said he did on purpose for the holidays. 

Mary, you are one brave woman.  Know what I am referring to?!??! Sure you do .... school lunches in the cafeteria !   I eat them twice a year .... the one they have for Thanksgiving and the one they have for Christmas.  Those are great...  The rest of the time ...... I just can't do it ..... and I am not that particular when it comes to food.   So, suck it up and go fearlessly into the chaotic lunchroom....I will be with you in spirit and pulling for you to make it back out alive with a stomach that is not beyond repair....... you go girl !  Take one for the grandkids !!!

 Later ladies, 

Janie

Hey everybody!    Snow? Nancy Lee?!?!   It is still very warm in Georgia.  Hard to believe the drastic weather differences.  Bundle up!  Meanwhile, I will be going to work in short sleeves again tomorrow.

Mary !! Congrats !!  You go girl !!!   Did you wait until you finished to pee, or pee and then finish.  You made me want to pee, the way you were talking about it.  Of course, that is not hard to do, epecially since I took a fluid pill today.

Our local Relay for Life made big bucks last weekend too !   Sounds like it is a success everywhere !!!!!! 

Awesome Janis !  You go girl !!!!!!!!!

Hugs,  Janie

PJ,  Good luck with the new regimen.  If they regrow breasts, they would be new, so I would think they would be perky!  After I saw her on Ellen,  I saw a toddler on the news that had been given her own stem cells that had been stored at birth.  She had CP and  is actually improving !  It was remarkable to watch the before and after videos. I don't know if I will see it in my lifetime, but I bet down the road, there will be no end to what they can do.

Mary,  if you walk in laps, you could always say you have to visit the restroom and will meet the walkers when they come around again!

Have a great Mary!  You too come back in one piece!

Do you walk around a track or over hill and dale?  The relay for life deal here is a track that you walk around and around and around.
