Cami – LOL at de kitty pic!
Lara – yeah! Here’s to virtual dwinking when we need it, Cheers!!! I virtually dwank gallons of wodka every day during tweetment to get me thru!!! Hope you do feel better and kick de inf to de curb!
This is no joke: I was on my front deck at Nanu saying prayers to the Almighty and I looked up and saw some bright lights twinkling and it looked like a faint 4th of July cascade of fireworks. I took it as a wink from the Almighty which made me smile ear to ear, but it could probably be explained "rationally" as a small meteor shower. Anyway, I said prayers for all of you and me and it was a special moment. This is an eve pic of my view at Nanu.
So hoping you will all join me for a dog beer or a gopher beer this eve by the pool. The hammocks are soooooo comfortable and it's nice and cool!
Sending love and hugs to everyone, hope you are doing great and will join me at the beach tomorrow for kite flying and body surfing - weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Cheers Ma Dears!!

Good morning,
Loungettes!Apparently the temps
actually touched 90 in a couple places in Maine yesterday, gonna be cooler,
with showers today.20 degrees cooler,
the weather guesser is saying.The sun
sure was hot yesterday!Yeah!No more frost and freezes for a while!HomeMom--It's only
been the last few weeks that we've gotten above freezing on a regular basis
here!It has been a very long, cold,
dreary winter, I've been running the heater in the car in the mornings as
recently as last week.Did turn on the
AC in the car yesterday for the first time.I would die in Florida!Cammy--Joey is such
a treasure!So wise for one so
young.Glad his party was a
success.Don't blame you for skipping
the ER trip this time.Good luck with
the tests and prayers for good reports.Goldie--I have
thought about container gardening, but the only good place for containers is
the back deck, and that's part of Sadie's yard.Sadie gets excited and running aroundand ignores minor things like furniture, walls, stairs, people etc.Anything not up against the house is
regularly knocked off the deck in her excited shenanigans.Unless you mean putting containers in the
yard?That is something worth thinking
about.Thanks for the idea!Garden is mostly in, got some seeds to plant,
maybe this evening now that it's cooler.Just too hot yesterday to play in the sun.Have fun answering e-mails!Mema--I saw that
shooting incident on the news, how horrible.All they were doing was eating a meal. At least they had enough
consideration for the rest of us to kill each other and spare us the cost of a
trial and housing them for the rest of their lives.Homie--virtual
drinking is a big thing here in the Lounge, too, so you can still
"imbibe"!ORLA--Hot is good,
humid is deadly for me, so glad that hot here usually is dry!Praying the infection is getting better and
the new Auntie B works better.Beanie--I can see
where fog could trigger SAD, too!Nothing like not seeing the sun for days and days and days and days . .
. I live the idea of the Almighty winking at you with a shower of meteors!How special!Princess Glitter

I am doing the Taxol after the A/C. I hear that is an easier road. I will go every 3 weeks for that one - four treatments. Then I have radiation and hormone blockers.
Right now I am staying mostly away from wine etc, until I'm finished. Sometimes it doesn't taste right and I don't want to "hate" it.
I'll be back!

LDB, that is a tragic story. Glad you are feeling better, and no hurls. I know you had so much fun with the kids, just a bummer that y'all were sick. Did AM get it too? We have doc appts. on Thursday and I get all mese scans. Won't be seeing my onc as they said I would be radioactive! I said, he's always seen me right after my nuclear bone scan. Oh well.
Homie, that wind will taste good and go down just fine in time. Oh, you can change your name. Those are the "cocktails" I did for treatments, 4 of each, all 3 weeks apart. Taxol is easier, during the A and C I did not lose my eye lashes or eyebrows, Taxol took care of that! I did have more bone pain withe Taxol and my Nuelasta shots. Do you get those?
Lala, glad to know that thing was neber ebber dere, but sorry bout the influckshun. Tooth aches are never fun.
Beansie Weansie, mese tinks you telling a fib, that you are enjoying the frigging heck out of hormonal treatment!!!! And I love your ride, will you take me for a spin. Are you traveling alone, or is DH wif you? Dribe/fly safe. The sunset is beautiful. Love the "wink from the Almighty".
NM, that is crazy about using your heater last week, crazy I say! I don't think I could handle FL either. It was rather chilly when I was there. I think summer would kill me. Containers ya, I guess you could put them where ever, just not in Sadies territory.
Yesterday was a crazy day for me. Still not totally caught up, should make it today. I also have some unfortunate news to share......Cami and Wacko are not going to get that face time. And both girls are beery sad about this. So lets all get together and have a part here, k? Lots and lots of drinks, willie for those that want and massages and pedi/mani's.......what else?

Hi Ladies,
Yea it's true its just not going to happen right now, I feel so sad cuz I was so furcited about meeting ERIN, but maybe some other time, I hope.
NM as usual the DOTD sounds yummy.
Julie always puts a smile on my face.
Oh Little Lara teeth hurting is awful, but the Auntie B should calm it down. There's not much else that can stop that hurt, those nerves must be the worst in our bodies.
Lori xoxoxoxox
Homie when I started too I couldn't think of any clever name so I ended up with an original stupid one., but u can change it if u want--I'm just to lazy
I hope all of u on chemo few SE's and not worrying, rest and plenty of water.
I just had a call from a man complaining about the cost of the work done--but here's the catch-He talked about 10 minutes and I understood about 10 words, I wanted to cry not cuz I felt bad, but he was so annoying and I wanted to charge him just for putting me thru what he did. Then I looked things up and found out what a horrible customer he was, but I know he will call back and they gave him a deal cuz he was so mean--so I'm glad I'll be at the Dr/ I let it go to voicemail and then call back when I get home.
Oh I lubs lubs lubs u guys, I know I missed special peeps cuz u are all so special to me a wonderful group of women that I have laughed with, worried with, prayed for and just my pleasure to be a part of, u have no idea how u al make me feel.

It seems like it has been months, not 3 weeks! If he is happy we get to do it again in August then hopefully get an expander back in and go from there. Long process but it's a work in progress so I am happy. Hope he is!!
NM, the garden sounds like it is coming along nicely!
Mema, fun with the kiddos and now you get to return them and rest!!

Sorry girls, I have been so busy. The trailer load of things from Myrtle Beach has been delayed due to rain storms. I am glad in a way as I have been so sleep deprived. As I always say, my life begins when my Dad goes to bed at night lol.
I am very disappointed that I can not make it to see Camille but you betcher EWWA's that I will git dere another time. I was able to cancel my flight and car and get full refunds. I buy insurance when I travel, tank God, for once it paid for itself over and over again!

Nurses, may i have yer attension please:

I was shocked to see what looked like the beginnning of a period since I am supposed to be officially post menapausal. My cancer was ER+ and I still have all of my goily parts. Nurses, should I be concerned? Me tinking it mightin be bcuz I have not been getting sufficient sleep?

O Erin how sweet. I lubs Joey too. Such good advice, and when he told me not to worry my pretty little self, well, he had me at hello.
Joey, my DH is also going to take a swimsuit. Like you said, you never know.
Lala, hope your tooth is better today. Hugs.
Genny, I like your garden and I'm going to copy it. I already have romaine lettuce, parsley, chives, raspberries and basil, but if I container garden it, I can also have Oregano, garlic and a couple tomato plants too.
MemaSue, so sorry to hear about those idiots down your way. What a senseless crime. Glad they took themselves out too, but I guess there would be a lack of closure for the families. Glad you are getting better by the day. Poor kids, DH and you.
NM, you did plant a garden after all. Yay! Excellent. I'm sorry your weather has been so poopy. I absolutely agree with you about fog being able to cause SAD.
Erin. I don't get it. Why you no go see Cami? And Joey? Did I miss someting?
Princess/Julie, thanks for the advice. You're both right. Italy probably does have doctors. Although I'd rather not need one. Lol.
Hi Homie, welcome to the lounge. Do you golf? Genny and I take full advantage of the course the tenders built back in November. It's only a 9 hole but the 7th is a b*tch! Then if course, we laze by the pool, being served real or virtual drinks. Oh and jello shooters. We like them!!!
Beans, I love your ride!!!! You've definitely got your traveling panties on, don't you? Pick me up and we'll party between appointments.
Cami, how you doing sweetie? Any better? {{{{Cami}}}} One day I hope to meet you too. Would gladly travel your way. It's only, what, 9 hours by car.
I know I'm forgetting people. Sorry, but you know I lubs ya all.
Hugs'n'kisses

Erin... I feel strongly that post menopausal bleeding should be addressed. I doubt highly it is related to fatigue.
You can wait for NM And Julie to comment. But I believe they will agree.
And sorry that I don't get to meet you and Cam.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!!

Hi Red, Hi Princess! Nice to see you ladies.
PRN, I had a feeling that the bleeding might be a problem. It is gone now and was only spotting but quite a bit of spotting over night, it covered my mini pad. ugh, now I am skeered as I should be. I will call my primary care tomorrow. I do not have an OB/GYN, mine was promoted to director of OB/GYN at a huge hospital system and it takes forever to get an appointment. I should find a new one but my Primary Care does my annual check ups and can refer me if needed. Thanks for saying.
0 -
Ok.. me skeered now.
When To Contact Your Doctor or Health Care Professional:
The following symptoms require medical attention. Contact your health care provider within 24 hours of noticing any of the following:
- Vaginal bleeding (similar to a period)

I have poison Ivy, ugh. It grew through my fence as my neighbor has a wood pile along their fence. We pulled down all this Ivy and unbeknownst to mese, a bit of it was poison. ughhhh. itchy me. ok rant over, love you all for listening while I talk about me. sawry! I tired.

and this is a pic of my puka today. looking good eh? I am seeing what I think is a few abscessed areas, one new area opened up at my naval. I just cant win.
0 -
Oh Erin don't ever be sorry, call u'r Dr. today, get this straighten out now, Oh this FURB screws everything up in our bodies. Now don't worry, cuz I have heard of this, but it's still the best to call to make sure. Just do it. At your age I still had my reg. period, so who knows. OK when I'm awake I'll be back, I had a little kechup to do, alittle??? loads and I'm not done--but I'm tired and I hear my SIL getting up now.

Good morning,
Loungettes!Sunny today, after cloudy
yesterday.Back into the 80's.And I'm stuck all morning in meetings.Sigh.Homey--Wise of you
to pass on the vino until the damage to your taste buds is reversed.Goldie--Had to use
the heater a little yesterday am, too.Will be needing the AC in the car today, though!I tend to think of container gardening as a
deck thing, but I saw some containers in a yard yesterday, and realized they
can go anywhere!Duh!Julie--there's a rug
I'd love to walk on!PRN--whatcha putting
in the tea?Hee hee!Cammy--some people
are just never happy.They are annoying
to the rest of us!4--new car and new
mortgage?Must be nice to have
money!Erin-with history of
bc, any vaginal bleeding after menopause probably should be at least discussed
with your PCP or gyno.Red RH--Yeah, I'm
happy with the garden and fence edging so far.Now to keep up the weeding and mowing!Erin--A good wash
with soap and water will get a lot of the poison ivy stuff off your skin before
it has a chance to start much of a reaction.I've heard that alcholol (rubbing, not drinking, kind) will neutralize it,
too.I've never had a poison ivy
reaction, my grandfather never reacted to it, I think I may have inherited his
immunity.I can't believe I never came
in contact with it.Erin--PUKA looks
good!Might be a couple of pockets left,
those can usually be handled pretty easily.Are you considering plastic surgery to make the area look better when
all healed up?Princess Glitter

WOWSA WOWSA, look at all of those hunky men! They sure take your mind off of your troubles!
Cami, I think your name is clever and definately NOT stupid. And you stay off of that trampoline, ya hear? I saw where your DD called Joey "Sauce", is that his nick name?
4, your going in steps for your surgery? Since there was talk of a "donor" site, I thought you just recently had the foob/s done on this last surgery. But I see you mentioning expanders next.
Homey, I guess it will be up to your docs as to whether or not you have to have the nuelasta shot. Damn thing made my legs feel like jello.
Red, when do you leave for Italy? And make sure your DH has his passport!!!
Prn, 17 pounds? Wow! That's awesome, good for you.
Good gravy Wacko. Vaginal bleeding, and now poison ivy? OMG, that is your tummy and that is suppose to be your belly button? OMG girl, you can't catch a break is right. Why don't you heal???
NM, bummer you are stuck in meetings on a nice day. Did you say you were taking a day off this week, Thursday maybe? And ya, containers anywhere. Would love to see a pic of your garden. Plastic surgery for Erin? That scares the crap outta me! Poison Ivy cocktail sounds yummy. I use a cinnamon creamer on occasion.
Heading out early tomorrow morning for Phoenix. Feeling a bit anxious. Will be glad when it's done.

Erin... Yes. See PCP. Puka looks a bit irritated. I always liked oatmeal soap for poison ivy treatment.
4... I need a new car too!

Good morning girls!
I will call the doctor about the bleeding but waiting until tomorree. That is because we are expecting delivery of a huge shipment from SC today. Dude was supposed to be here an hour ago. When I call his cell phone, it goes right to voice mail. My Dad and my sisters are nervous that the guy is going to take off with our belongings. The most precious item on the truck is dad's grandmother clock. There is also a hand made glass enclosed conestoga wagon set that is worth a lot. It was hand carved by an inmate at the NJ State Prison. It is really priceless. So ..... me must wait. Had a little more bleeding last night. I do not get it. I was pre-men before BC and took tamoxifen for over two years which threw me into menopause. I was totally shocked to see blood. Oh my nerves.
NM, thanks for the tips on the poison. I too thought I was immune. All my years of camping, I could touch it and never break out. It is not horrible, only on my arms. I used the rubbing alcamahol and that helped. Thanks for saying the puka looks good. I was told to look out for abscesses, they are not out of the ordinary.I am not sure if I want to get my belly bixed up. That would open up another donor site and that would def get infected. My body finds bacteria/infucktions, ugh. I think a lot of the absessed areas are from sutures that never dissipated. Glad to hear that you are having a bootiful weather day. Sorry you have to be in meetings all day. I hope you get home in time to enjoy some time in the yard with yer Silly Sadie. Give her a kiss from me, I jest love that puppy!
Lori, lol at Red not forgetting her DH's passport. OMG, poor Red, i remember that. I hope your trip to Phoenix is easy breezy.
PRN, awesome job on the weight loss, mese berry proud of ya. Is your treatment done? I sure hope so. You go girl, so happy to hear you feel soooo much better. this BC chit is for the birds. and bdw, why do people say "for the birds"? Camille, can you ask Joey?
Where is Genny? And Lara is MIA as well. hmmm, hope eberyting is well with them.
NM, did you hear about the person who was given the measles virus and it kicked the cancer to de curb? That might be a new breakthrough.
Cammy, my bootiful friend, I hope you had a good rest. It was cool chatting with you at 4am. I thought about calling you but not sure if the number I have will ring throughout your house. I don't wanna wake up the troops, I tink they would not like that lol. I hope and pray that today is a feel good dwunken fundey for you. I jest love you so much. Email me when you are free, I am usually close to my email. Once that truck comes I will be biddy for awhile,
Gotta fly, time to get prepared for mese Daddy's lunch. We are getting nervous over our cargo too. yikes, say a prayer that it arrives. tank ye all.
Peace, love and happiness and a cup or two of cheers! which bdw again, I loved the DOTD NM. Always apprecicated.
Ch ch chia cheers!

Good morning,
Loungettes!I am enjoying a lovely
leisurely ayem.Took today off since I'm
working the weekend.Lot of stops to pet
Sadie, who seems to be happy with that!Currently sipping cup of coffee #2.Love leisurely ayems!Goldie--Keep
thinking about those hunky men while you are going to Pheonix!I'll get some pics of the garden pretty soon
and post them.Too cloudy today to get
good pics.PRN--I never heard
of oatmeal soap for poison ivy, sounds better than washing with alcohol!Erin--Another thing
to consider is that you are no longer in menopause.After 5 years of lupron to shut down my
ovaries I should have been in menopause.Now, a year or more after finishing all that, no period since 2007, I am
having hot flashes again.NOW the blood
shows I am going into natural menopause!Will the fun never end?People
do develop allergic reactions to things they are repeatedly exposed to, so you
could have been immune and now aren't.I
did get out of the office in time to enjoy some sunshine yesterday.Sadie says "thank you" for the
extra kiss and cuddle!I have not heard
about the person who got the measles and cured cancer.I'll have to look that one up.Hmm, only 2 people, neither had ever had
measles or the vaccine before.One
patient had multiple myeloma, a cancer known to spontaneously go into remission
at times.The injection was a massive
dose (or overdose) of a genetically modified strain of measles virus.Quoting:
As part of an
experimental, early-stage clinical trial, the researchers injected both
patients with around 100 billion units of the measles virus – enough to
vaccinate 10 million people if it had been a regular vaccine virus – over the
course of an hour. Then they waited to see what would happen.What were the results?
Almost straight
away, the patients became feverish and unwell as their immune systems kicked
into action against the massive virus load. They soon got better, and over the
next few months the researchers watched as the levels of cancer cells in the
patients’ bodies started to fall and their tumours shrank. For Stacy this was
particularly noticeable as she had a large tumour on her forehead, which melted
away as the virus got to work.Although the initial
responses were impressive, the two women had very different outcomes. Stacy’s
cancer seemed to completely disappear, although according to Dr Russell in this video,
her forehead tumour apparently came back after around 9 months but is now being
controlled with radiotherapy.However, the other
woman was less lucky and after just two months her cancer had come back worse
than before, although at the time of writing she is still alive. The
researchers also managed to use the iodine-shuttling protein to see where the
virus infection had taken hold in her body. It revealed that the virus had
indeed infected all her tumours, even though it hadn’t managed to eradicate
them.From
<http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/05/16/could-measles-cure-cancer-uh-not-exactly/>So the miracle
"cure" lasted 9 months.Not
how I define "cure."I wish
reporter were more careful in their use of language.Cammy--I want to get
a bit more done, and have a sunny day before taking pics, but I will soon, I
promise!4--Yum!
