    aww, RED, love the little girls playing in their fort, berry clever of you. Is that a puppy or a kitty one of them is holding or a stuffed aminal? and thanks for your suggestion on seeing the doctor before I leave for vacation. I am really  in over my head and it is so unfair. In my earlier years, it was always bad but the pay was phenomenal back then.  The month that I settled on the home I am in, I raised my down payment by 20k which is the amount of commission I made in that month. things have changed drastically though. We are expected to do the same job x 3 and it is nearly impossible to make any commission which is why I am ready to bail out. The job has caused my vision to go from perfect to nearly blind. I have permanent damage from vessel attenuation in my eye muscles from high blood pressure. Going in, I was 40 years old, in perfect health with perfect vision and hearing which has also going fast. I hope and pray that you were rejected from working out over someting stupid, like a faulty device. I tink you gonna pass the fart test with flying colors. 

    Camille, my love, I hate so much that you have to endure so much pain. I say it often and will say it again, you are really a trooper, a warrior and a princess too. I see why Joey and also your family and everyone here jest loves you to bits. You are also much smarter than you give yourself credit for. 

    Aly, I know you made that gunpower rum dwinky for Cammi but I've asked the tenders to woop up several hundwed pitchurs of it for all of us. Come in and join the fun! 

    I am really missing our Bernie and Kathy. It is so quiet without all mese goils. And were is my Chrissy B hiding? 

    Lara, what you are watching today? And I am funcused - you have already taken a part time job. Are you tinking about adding the waitressing job too? I tink that will be too much for you, dahling. Please do take it easy. Again, I do not want you to end up having more surgery due to being stubborn (like this goil I know) and end up hurting yourself more. You have had a really crummy journey and I want you to be done so that you CAN get back to doing the things you love as far as activity. 

    Cyn, I am so furcited, I will say it ober and ober and ober and keep saying it while I am there with you making trouble. And I can't wait to meet our dear Julie!!

    I want to meet all of you. I had tentative plans to go to Chicago with Beckers to visit Camille but that was before my incision blew open and got infucked. Ya see, I do most of my traveling whilst out of work so that I do not have to stress over missing time there. I was so close to booking that flight but ended up hospitalized at the time I planned on going. 

    Cammy dear, you are still a berry high priority to visit and I will get there to hug ya in person and also hug my Joey (he is ours too ya know).  

    KK, got errands to do, have to make a bank hold up, a car wash, pick up some groceries and meet wtih my Willie man! hehe, jk about that.

    Have a GREAT Sunday girls. Sending prayers up collectively for all my breasties and sending a basket full of love to each of you as well!

    I read in some of the posts in this thread, that at least one oncologist doesn't think alcohol impacts BC but one of the links about what can be done to reduce risk is reduce or quit drinking.

    What is the prevailing belief here and what are you all doing, if you don't mind sharing?  I usually have a couple of glasses of wine after work but it sounds like I shouldn't.

    NC - if you let your doc know that you enjoy some alcamaholic beverages they will adjust your program accordingly. Not to worry.

    Some of us drink virtually, some in reality, but we all enjoy the HTL!

    NC, I refuse to let cancer get in the way of quality in life which includes daily alcahahol intake. It is a personal choice. If I were you, I would add another glass to those couple of nightly glasses if it helps you get through it. ((((New goil)))). Welcome, I hope you come back and have some fun with us berry crazy chicks!

    Good morning,
    Loungettes!How is everyone this
    MonkeyDay ayem?

    Goldie--the noseeums
    around here are gnats of some variety, I've never bothered to figure out what
    kind, all I need to know is that they bite and leave very itchy spots, right
    where you describe!So annoying.Praying for a quiet fire season.

    ORLA--I'm sure you
    won't faint when you get the nips and tucks done.Although I am amazed at what is done in the
    office these days.

    DorFarta--Wow, some
    scary stuff on that site.And the prior
    manager from he## will be right next door.So much craziness going on.I
    hope you make the best of your week of sanity with CynCynin Florida, and come back ready to fight or
    move, whichever is going to be best for you.Yes, the new nurses will be ready to help on weekends very soon,which will make a huge difference.Which reminds me, I need to look up the
    company policy about comp days for salaried workers.It would make a huge difference if I can get
    a day off during the week if I'm going to be working regular weekends.

    Red RH--adorable
    granddaughters!

    Cammy--I hang
    laundry out year round.When it's so
    cold the laundry freezes before I finish getting hung up it may need 3 or 4
    days to dry, but it is so worth it!Actually, the dryer that came with the house died many, many years
    ago.I haven't missed it enough to go
    through the trouble of trying to get it fixed.I also have a rolling rack where I can hangwet clothes to dry inside, which helps with
    the dry air problem in winter.

    NorthernCanuck--Welcome
    to theLounge!My take on the whole diet, exercise and
    alcohol thing is:Until medical science
    can completely understand a disease they cannot with confidence say that
    anything I do gave me the disease.Blaming the victim is just a ploy to divert attention from the fact that
    medical science cannot explain nor cure cancer.It's part of the medical mindset that uses the phrase "the patient
    failed first line chemotherapy" when the doctor's treatment doesn't
    work.Further, I've been through he##
    and back around treatment, and I am now going to live my life, and that
    includes doing things I enjoy, like having a drink from time to time, and
    eating food I like the taste of.OK,
    getting down off the soap box, now.

    CynCyn--Yup, Sadie
    loves playing fetch ALL DAY LONG on the weekends.I don’t' get much of anything else done!And, yes, she just LOVES mud season.She can make a 3 inch mud puddle into a 3
    foot one in about three tenths of a second!

    Well, finally I get
    to meet Surely!Oops, Shirley!Nice addition to the "service"
    staff.

    Princess Glitter
    Sizzle's DOTD is theFluffy Pink Slipper

    1/2 oz Cherry Brandy

    1 oz (Crushed) Ice

    1/2 oz Sugar Syrup

    1 oz Coconut Milk

    irections

    Simply
    shake/whisk/blend proportions of ingredients to taste and serve in a tall
    cordial glass. The more cherry brandy you add the pinker the slipper becomes.
    Whereas, the more you whisk the 'fluffier' it becomes.

    OH did anyone see me on de flore all day and all nite---I slept like 18 hrs. WTF is going on--dos drinks really help me. LOL

    NC like was said tell u'r Dr. u like to Drink Red wine---so good---as the girls know my sister drinks her red wine every nite after work and not after work and when we go out always red wine, never stopped (she's BC, too), my dad always drank red wine his whole life from like 10--so did we if we were sick and by the time we were 18 it was there for you--now he lived to be 96. But my mom didn't drink well BC came into our family whether we drank or not so who knows really.

    Lori u'r camping again, that must be fun for u--u love nature, cuz I don't think I could camp anymore ever. LOL

    I tink we all miss Bernie and Kat a lot  I pray for them so much, I hope Kat's DD isdoing all right or better. And Bernie has been blessed with a new precious soul so that wonderful.

    Lara, Lara, Lara please take care of u'rself--we're all nagging at you but we just care.

    Dork I laugh every time u post, this is terrible, cuz I laugh at u'r post, but the pic. is so funny. U guys are going to have so much fun and then u get Julie too WOWEE--- the three of u that's a winner.

    Red how many more rads? How are u feeling?

    We'll see  if I can stay awake today, I have to listen for the phones, so I can work. LOL

    Lara, you are having surgery in 2 weeks? And a tummy tuck? All done in the office??? And what do you mean, you are getting all red from 6 hours of work?

    Dort, SO GLAD you got that time off, and you said exakery the right thing. You have NOT had a baycayshun. So horrible what all you have been through, I really wish you could sue someone. Being numb would be nice, I bet!

    Awwwww Red, what cutie pa tooties you have there. And so sweet of your DD to want to pray for us. I would want her to pray for our gals that are in so much pain, physcally and mentally.

    Cami, we did have all the stuff we needed to fix her faucet, nor the time to do it the last time we were there, as we found something else that was wrong, hence this visit.

    Gosh Cami, I wonder why they don't put you on something for the RA?

    Aly, tanks foy letting us know about Ms Chrissy. And YES it's YOUR house and you don't hab to take that!!!

    Cyn, not going anywhere else, just to Laughlin on Thursday. I will let you lovlies know when we head out camping. As long as our nice weather lasts, it might be in a couple of weeks. Everything fit just fine! And how AWESOME that Julie is gonna spend the night you two. LOL, glad you found Shirley!

    NM, I think I have posted before, about the bug spray that I use. All natural and actaully I love the way it smells, BugBand. A day off in the middle of the week would be nice, eh? As for the dryer, I hardly ever use mine. Your splanation to de new goil is poyfect! So I second it.

    image

    Ha ha Cami, all dat sleep wuz fwom dat gun powder rum that Alyson brought.....LOL! And the fart attack! No camping yet, just gots all the stuff and waiting to go.

    Dofey, good luck today sweetness. I will get back to you later, Mondays are always busy for me.

    Love the giraffe..how in the hail did it get there?  

    I fed the giraffe's at the zoo in Phoenix..they have really bad breath. 

    So just a few minutes ago DS2 said.."so your friend is coming so I am moving out of my room.  Im not going to move back into it because I'll be leaving soon anyway so when Im done cleaning it its all yours and when your friend goes home then someone else can have it..whoever".  This my friends is good news.  I may just keep it empty and nice and clean for who ever comes next or whenever someone does come to visit. So who's coming to visit?

    On a darker note..I spoke to DD earlier and she said that she had not wanted me to worry but that she had felt a small lump in her right breast and that she went to the dr and they did an ultra sound and that they believe it to be Fibroadenoma (sp) which is b9 and they said quite common at her age.  She is 18.  They are going to biopsy it on the 11th and she can choose to have it removed. 

    just pooped in ..gotta go back to work

    ohmagosh Cyn. what a terrible thing for your daughter to face, she had to be so scared before seeing the doctor. I sure hope she does not need surgery. I am sure she will be just fine. I had a coworker who recently went through the same thing with her daughter who is about the same age as your baby girl. I said a prayer for her and for you too Mom! (((Cyn)))

    Good morning,
    Loungettes!It's 2ferTuesday!It's 2ferTuesday!

    ORLA--too many scary
    movies, indeed!After recon I remember
    being afraid the new foobs would fall off when the drains were pulled out.Funny what our brains will come up with,
    huh?

    Cammy--slept for 18
    hours?You must have been tired!We do all miss Bernie and Wahine.Praying things are getting better for them
    both and they will be back soon.

    ORLA--Crazy!

    DorFarta--Yikes, a
    fart attack at work, not good!

    Cammy--Toot,
    Toot!

    Goldie--BugBand-I
    will look for that.There is an all
    natural bug repellent sold around here, Bug Off, that is made locally, that I
    like the smell of and it works well, too.But I need more than one bottle, one upstairs and one in the garage, so
    I have room for more!

    CynCyn--I am so
    excited for you and DorFarta and Julie!

    ORLA--Please keep an
    eye on the redness, lymphedema and redness CAN mean an infection.

    Julie--Yikes!Now THAT is a pothole!

    DorFarta--oh, dear,
    so not fair.Talk to the docs and social
    workers at the hospital.Tell them you
    can't take him back home with you, that you may be about to lose your job because
    of the time off you need to take to deal with his issues.That will push them to place him in a
    facility that is set up to handle behavioral issues like his.Or make sure that the hospital folks know
    that you cannot take responsibility for his behavior any more.Ask if they can help your start legal
    proceedings to have him legally declared incompetent and to get a guardian
    appointed, and tell them YOU cannot be his guardian due to health issues of
    your own.AND MAKE DAMNED SURE YOU GO TO
    FLORIDA AS PLANNED.You need the break,
    and that may be just the thing that pushes the hospital to make a move towards
    getting him placed somewhere.If you are
    out of state, you can't take him home.If he's ready to go home and there is no one to pick him up the hospital
    has to take care of him without getting paid anything, and that motivates them
    to work very hard on appropriate placement.

    CynCyn--Hooray for
    DS2 moving out! Maybe he's growing up!Oh, dear, I am so sorry to hear about DD having fibroadenoma.It is common.A biopsy is a good thing for peace of mind.Praying, very hard.

    Julie--I am so
    excited you will get to meet CynCyn and DorFarta!

    Chrissy--so good to
    see you!Glad you are having a great
    time!

    Julie--LOL!!!!

    OK, I have been thinking I am going crazy, but looking back over this post I realize I am not, after all.  I hit the space bar twice after every exclamation point when I am typing in OneNote.  The spaces are there in OneNote.  The spaces are there when I paste my note into the reply box.  After I submit the post the spaces disappear!
