Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Betrayal, I would love to hear your bird sing. But I don't think we can post audio.
This morning the temperature was in the 60's, I think 68. We opened up the camper and circulated fresh air inside. When I came inside to take a shower about 3 pm, I closed up and turned on the a/c. It's still comfortable sitting on the deck with the box fan blowing.
DH had his appointment today with the wound care nurse. She tended to his leg and gave him more supplies. It was such a good idea to go to her. DH wore his new size 40 shorts. He's down from a 42 and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down another size. I did mention to him today that he has to consume some protein. He has been eating mostly salad foods and melon because they taste good, while some other foods have lost their appeal. I'm wondering if one or more of his meds might be affecting his taste. He does have eggs for breakfast. I am eating less, too, trying to drop some pounds that I can well afford to lose.
Jackie, when you can manage it, post a picture of Lil Red.
Thinking of Puffin and Harley. And hoping Sandy is doing well, just busy.
Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Unfortunately, that has been true for a long time. Since he generally does nothing for them (looking out for himself is his business) I'm not sure why they have held on so long. He is also a mental dullard and I presume that helps many of his followers hang onto him. The others are in it for the money grab and power.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Sondra, someone fussing over you is probably the thing you needed without realizing it. Moms certainly can fuss over you like that for sure. I am glad you are out of hospital and glad your husband is happy being fussed over as well. In pocket for less pain as well.

I don’t subscribe to the NYT, but I saw this headline from it:
Trump and his allies adapt to a new role: fighting for attention
"In the days since President Biden ended his re-election bid and passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, Donald Trump’s campaign has been crowded out of the headlines."
Good.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Minus, The spinach sounds delicious.
Dinner tonight was leftover salmon with cauliflower.

FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Bold Plan to Reform the Supreme Court and Ensure No President Is Above the LawJuly 29, 2024
From his first day in office—and every day since then—President Biden has taken action to strengthen American democracy and protect the rule of law.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has overturned long-established legal precedents protecting fundamental rights. This Court has gutted civil rights protections, taken away a woman’s right to choose, and now granted Presidents broad immunity from prosecution for crimes they commit in office.
At the same time, recent ethics scandals involving some Justices have caused the public to question the fairness and independence that are essential for the Court to faithfully carry out its mission to deliver justice for all Americans.
President Biden believes that no one—neither the President nor the Supreme Court—is above the law.
In the face of this crisis of confidence in America’s democratic institutions, President Biden is calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability:
- No Immunity for Crimes a Former President Committed in Office: President Biden shares the Founders’ belief that the President’s power is limited—not absolute—and must ultimately reside with the people. He is calling for a constitutional amendment that makes clear no President is above the law or immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. This No One Is Above the Law Amendment will state that the Constitution does not confer any immunity from federal criminal indictment, trial, conviction, or sentencing by virtue of previously serving as President.
- Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices: Congress approved term limits for the Presidency over 75 years ago, and President Biden believes they should do the same for the Supreme Court. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy that gives lifetime seats to its high court Justices. Term limits would help ensure that the Court’s membership changes with some regularity; make timing for Court nominations more predictable and less arbitrary; and reduce the chance that any single Presidency imposes undue influence for generations to come. President Biden supports a system in which the President would appoint a Justice every two years to spend eighteen years in active service on the Supreme Court.
- Binding Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court: President Biden believes that Congress should pass binding, enforceable conduct and ethics rules that require Justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest. Supreme Court Justices should not be exempt from the enforceable code of conduct that applies to every other federal judge.
President Biden and Vice President Harris look forward to working with Congress and empowering the American people to prevent the abuse of Presidential power, restore faith in the Supreme Court, and strengthen the guardrails of democracy. President Biden thanks the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States for its insightful analysis of Supreme Court reform proposals. The Administration will continue its work to ensure that no one is above the law – and in America, the people rule.
Re: Abemaciclib Verzenio for Stage IV
@intolight I hope you get to remain on Verzenio for longer. I hate to say that because of the SE's but it is what we're used to and moving on to something else can be intimidating and cause unease and stress. Try not to think about it! If you get to a point when they start talking to you about it then I'd start doing the research just like @dulcea. Having the information from this group is so so helpful to me and I'm grateful for it.
