Thanks Gail. Yes, I will get to come home, but that bus sounds soooo comfy I might just run off with you all. Then we can head for Kymn's, up in Canada. When my TE's were exch for implants, that was out-patient too. I DO NOT want to get personal with jp again....nurse wasn't sure if I would have a drain or not. Hope not.
Wow....lotta May b'days here. My SIL and G'dau are in May....22 & 24 (don't ask me which, I always get it wrong!). Good total for cookie sales!!!! Yay!!!
Ok, this is nite nite for real.

I have a question for you all. I only drink 2-3 times a year maximum and sometimes less than that when I get together with a group of ladies. It has been 2 years since I last partied. But when I do it, I do it up right. What are thoughts on how this might affect for a possible reoccurance? The group I hang with has a concert coming up in a couple of months and I'd like to let it all hang out, but not at the expense of it possibly contributing to a reoccurance. Same with sweets, I have a bad sweet tooth/soda tooth and wonder just how totally I 'should' be giving those up. Seems so many things are said to contribute to it.

Oh, I love sleeping on buses since apparently sleeping in my comphy bed isn't happening...
My daughter's birthday is May 21st. My uncle was so excited as the 22nd is the big birthday day in their family and I mean big and weird!! Ok he was born on the 22nd two of his children are born on the 22nd and his only son is born on the exact day... now it gets weirder I'll have to ask my cousin again but I think most of the grandchildren are all born on the 22ned and I think some of the wives/husbands too. So yes the grandson is also born on the exact 22nd of May as well - so three generations and all named the same of course! So when we adopted my daughter he was all excited as he thought with the time change she was also a 22nd but I think the time goes the other ways so she would have been on the 20th here but oh well he loved the idea so we didn't correct him.
whew didn't know I'd write so much!!! Gosh hope I can sleep and then hope I can hear the alarm!!! Good Luck Kathy - we'll be waiting for you and have everything ready you might possibly want - everyone is alerted and I can hear the pillows being fluffed as we speak! Night all
Just saw the Gale Storm --- Ha Ha ha!!!! Far too clever for me!!!!

Hi Anetnut, no one knows the full reason why we got BC in the first place so no one can say definitively that eating sweets or having a drink will contribute to a recurrence. Most doctors tell us all things in moderation and live as healthy a life style as possible. Life is meant to be enjoyed by each and every one of us and if that means you have the occasional bit of something that you cannot live without, then don't punish yourself, have it and enjoy.........just don't go crazy.
Love n hugs. Chrissyb

NM - You can do it There is an end in sight!!! I would imagine the next few days may be the hardest but once you have what you will be doing next all settled it wil be easier. Thinking of you!
Kathy--- Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as you are up to it!!!!

Dorothy, so glad that your daughter arrived safely. What a wonderful experience for her! I'll see what I can do about the pews, it's just trying to find the time. It's taken me almost an hour and a half to read and reply this morning!
Beans, love the job resume and the washboard! Ooooo la la! I understand about help in rural areas! Most of them here are afraid it will mess with their Gov. subsidy, so they rather not work! Love the TP holder....LMAO. And I'll have 2 bowls of that ice cream.
Karen, you are right. I live in AZ, we do not change time, nor does HI. IN I am not sure of. Sorry DD is having troubles with her party planning L ooohhhhh to be 13!
No apologies Kymn, we understand and you can repeat stuff as often as you like. But I really think you will do just fine. You shouldn't feel any side effects right away, they usually take a day or so. For me it was day 3 when I started to feel ick, it would last a few days and then gone until the next time. And then of course you have to deal with the loss of hair. That is what I hated the most. Don't worry about catching up with us, but do pop in for some drinks and just read. And remember, we will be there with you tomorrow. Is anyone going with you? That's it.......let it out!
NM, glad you are feeling better about the situation.
Chrissy, you got me with that splash! You know what they say about pay backs! Good to see you!
Claire, welcome bok to the living.
Stanzie, good luck to your son, I do hope he gets the part he wants.
Well, I'm not sure what the date is today and I thought tomorrow was Kymn's first treatment. I do know it is St. Patty's Day tho.
Forgot to comment on your avatar Gail. How creative, love it! I'll have to look and see what's available for Goldie! Just looked, got pages and pages of Goldie Hawn...imagine that!
Junie, HD? Where are you 2? Putting out an Amber Alert.
Kathy, you BETTER NOT be doing so much when you get home girl. You do too much as it is. Shame on you, working until your back is in spasms. What are we gonna do with you?
Girls, girls..........shhhhhhhhh, I think we're being too loud. Here comes the surgeon......oooohhh what a hotty. Wait til Kathy wakes and see's what she missed!

Good Morning, Blah. I am sorry I haven't posted. I too have been under the weather. I came to work this morning but will see if I make it. I hate daylight savings time on top of feeling like chit! Kathy, good luck today. I can't go on the bus as I don't want to infect the party passengers. Will join back when well. All the rest of you going through work, teen, and allergy problems....sorry. Kymn, I will be thinking about ya for sure! HD

Thanks girlz! Had a few min to check in here, since I CAN"T EAT OR DRINK....$hit! I will post after I get home, when I can. I am hoping for some nice, deep sleep. AND looking at those hunky doctors Lori posted....woohoo!!!! Oh, but Lori, St. Pat's day is on the 17th, always has been.....sawwy, but tomorrow is just the 15th. Maybe now you have gained a couple of days!!! ALso like the birthday hunk that NM posted...oooooo la la is right! HunkyD, sure hope you will feel better quickly! And nice of you to not want to infect the others on the bus. Besides, you need to rest when you get home! Ok, now I gotta get ready to see those yummy doctors!!!!
P.S. anetnut, I like your byline! And welcome here to the Hot Tatties Lounge.

Wahine - ooops, now today I realize I missed your post with the pink leopard ugs and jacket, I'm sawwy, those are sooooo cute!! Here's something I'm sure they'll let you wear today! You will look so sexy in your hospital gown with these!
Best wishes to you today and pleeze let us know how UR doing as we're all waiting on the bus for ya! Oh man, hope jp doesn't tag along!
Chrissy - glad the laundry hunk was there for you with washboard and all!
Dorthy - Such nice words for Kymn, and thanks for posting the chapel again. Fergetabout Monday, can we do like junie said and have happy Friday all week long again?
Claire - Hurray!!! So glad you're getting better!! Hope you are up for skiing again soon.
AStorm - What a great new avatar!! Gale Storm!!! That is so kewl!! Had to laugh at the phase where you thought they made a mistake - that was my first thought that the lab had screwed up - funny how denial works! I went around about that for quite a while and really didn't believe it until a different lab also found rat bastard in my lymph nodes. I also agree there have been some positives out of this. As my med onc pointed out people with this dx usually do some reordering and reworking of things in their lives. As you know, I've been having to cut some fam bs and focus on what I need to heal and survive and thrive from here on out. All the women on this site and some of my friends and fam have also been wonderful to me and helped me to focus on the up-side! I have been on the fence about building this cabin since '08 and damn it, yesterday I sat down and did the site plan that the county requires and even wrote a check and got it in the mail. Once I have that done which should be two or three weeks, then I can apply for a building permit and get rolling on this! (assuming the builder shows up - ha ha!) It feels really good to be alive and moving on - no matter what the future holds. At the moment I'm okay. Still dreading my next mamos in May, but heck I have two whole months between now and then yahoo! So much to celebrate!
Stanzie - How fun that your son is doing his first singing audition that sounds so nice, I do hope he gets a good part!
Karen - double nickels! That's a cute way to put it! We'll have a party for you in May! Good job on the cookies too!
Anetnut - Good questions and I wish I knew the answers. I think Chrissy has said it best. BTW, love your signature about tweezing!
NM - great pics and toons! I guess 10 weeks isn't too bad, hope we can help you through it and on to greener pastures.
Goldie - So glad to see what wahine's doctors look like, now I know she's in good hands!
HD - Dang sorry you're feeling chitty, but really glad to hear from ya! Rest up and come back soon!

Morning, ladies!
That drink looks yummy as usual NM. You know how to pick em! Hang in there... with what you have been through I'm sure you won't let some immature self-entitled twits who have no idea what the real world has in store for them ruin your day I always thought of my instructors as being charged with presenting me with the important things I need to know and helping prepare me for my certification exams. Some of them were very tough, but those are the classes in which I learned the most.
Well DH chose this morning to tell DD1 he thinks she should go to community college because she's not into school so I woke up to yelling and crying. She has been accepted to her top 2 universities and is struggling with a decision but community college wasn't even on her radar. I have tried to support my kids throughout their lives by carefully selecting their private school and then transfering them to public and then charter school as their needs changed. Frankly she has been lagging this year and there is some logic to his message but it probably wasn't delivered with much sensitivity and since the whole world knows she is on her period, you'd think he would know this was bad timing. When I mentioned this of course, he blames me cuz I'm too emotional too. I'm thinking that if he's seeing a pattern with women around him being "too emotional" maybe he should consider that HE might be a factor? So I'm at the lounge now and avoiding him until we cool off.
Bad weekend... first the potty incident... neighbor's obit finally appeared in the paper... DH being callous... and I couldn't sleep because I was writing that damn letter to the superintendent in my head all night.
Great post, Beanie. A cabin - how awesome! When my mother named me Gail, someone told her my life would always be a storm. There have been many storms, but also many rainbows!
I was always drawn to Gale Storm, because of her name but she also looks like my mother. I heard that Gail Storm passed away the day after my diagnosis. This did not bolster my confidence. Then, being the bean-counter that I am, I did the math and realized that she died at the age of 87. I was only 47 at the time, so that means I have at least another 40 years of storms and rainbows left. So Astorm is a reminder for me of those 40 years to come, and that I should live them with grace, elegance and beauty.
maybe I should get that on a tattoo?

Gale Storm - So sorry you hada bad weekend, crud! It was interesting to read about Gale Storm and how the storms always have a rainbow later. I hope the issue with DH and DD and college will turn into a rainbow story quickly. That is so neat that she got into two universities, so she has options! And of course community college is a great option too. I'm glad you're taking action on the potty incident and was sorry to read about the obit, that is so sad. I've been drawn to Jessica Tandy, tho I don't know that much about her, but she looked so much how I expect I'll look in my older years. Turns out she was taken by ovarian c in her late 80's I believe. I like the rainbow pic, so pretty and the tat is a great idea!!

Gail.... one of the guys I worked with in my corporate life has two sons, one was great academically and the other wasn't. From what I saw, the first one got a lot of perks and attention the second didn't get. However, ten years later, both have done super-well.
I am saying this because I think your daughter will be just fine. None of these things are fun, but we all live through them. I think your DH was questioning the value of an expensive college w/o structure and supervision if she has only been doing so-so. From what you say, she may not be in the best environment this year, so something to think about. The great news is that she has choices.
I would take this whole experience to go back and think about "fit" and what would be the best next step in that context. You want the next step to be a place where she will flourish if possible. BTW - I had a similar ass as principal in High School. He got promoted to superintendent. He also taught Earth Science. One day I asked him a question about why such different soil in Vermont where only feet away. I learned the answer 20 years later when reading a pamphlet about geology in Yorkshire, and discovered the same conditions due to glacial lakes.
He couldn't be bothered to research this. What an ass.
Back to the other issue, I am saying this from hindsight that my college choice was great academically, but not the right place socially. I am not sure what the best place would have been, but I think there would have been better choices. I could have used some help in that area.
Good luck. - Claire

Hello friends,
Happy Its NOT Monday night. I was just popping in to see if Kathy has posted. I still have to read todays posts. I overslept this morning and only had 30 minutes from wake up until out the door, dag gone that time change.
Claire, good to see you back and feeling better. Great words of wisdom re: higher education.
Kymn, hope you are able to smile and think about the good things in life. You CAN do this and you will do it with dignity and straight. You may break at times and that is okay. We are here for you and will do all we can to support you through these most difficult times. Just think of it as giving yourself the gift of longevity.
Beans, aka JTandy, always so nice to see you post. Seems that life is treating you much better these days and I am happy if you are happy.
G-Storm, great avatar and great story to go with it. When I google my name, of course I get the girl from the wizard of oz, what's her name.....?
Goldie Hawn, did you see me pop out in the OR, then get big and squeeze that cute docs a$$? Phew, sI was able to get small again before he saw me, darn, so risky but I could not help myself....they were all so cute. Here's hoping they took good care of Kathy today.
HD, I hope you feel better. You are a trooper for making it to work. Come and have some drinks with me, pleeeeeze?
NM, I hope the day was not hard on you. I admire how you took control of yourself so quickly and turned your plan into action. You go girl, you will do great in whatever you do. You are passionate about your job and will be that same great person when you move on and also be appreciated. Punk kids, who needs them?? Why, I AWWWTA..........
Stanzie, I hope you slept well last night. And wow, lot's o parties. I am coming to all of them, whatta you all think, we have a BIG month of partays!! YAY YAY YAY
oops, my font did that itself, I think I was aiming for the exclamtion point. well that is it, I thought I lost this post as I hit something and it took me back a page, I cursed then hit the "back" arrow and found it, now that is a first. Next time one of ys looses a post, try using the forward/back arrows...yay, did not looose this. Reason to drink.....PANTS????>

Gail....love the rainbow with the star...and 87....not too shabby of a lifetime....wishing you only good times in those 40 years!!!
My son went to the local commuter college (4 year univ) for 1 1/2 years after working for 2 years....this semester he is in HI and costing us big bucks....and its turning out to not be the place he wanted....he's worded it as a good learning experience.....I think he is going to go back to Metro State (commuter college) next year...he misses CO, he misses his dog and his local friends...he's not miserable in HI, just not the right place.....my oldest DD went to a very (very, very) small college and it was just what she needed...she blossomed so much in those 4 years....
Who was having surgery today? was it Wahine? adn Kymm how are you doing? Chrissy....I tell you, I need to go back and take notes because by the time I finish reading all the posts, I can't remember who wrote what.....HD....sorry today is not a good day...NM...will count the weeks with you.....Dorothy....I've never googled my name....is there really any famous Karen's? Growing up I never liked my name....now its just a name...the only one I've had all my life!!!
Came home with another massive headache...beginning to wonder if its when I haven't had enough to drink (water that is)....but I drank at least 6 or 8 cups.....hadn't had headaches for awhile and now almost every day for the past few days.....they are so draining!!! DD is feeling better and feeling better about her party....ordered her b'day present last night...she wants a Ripstik....sure hope she doesn't break anything riding it!!! But so many of the kids have one and I figured if it keeps her outside more, then good...her other option for a gift was gift cards to shops at the mall....her brother and sister are getting her gift cards...grandparents will send money, so whe will have $ to shop with!!!
Waiting for DH to come home from synagogue so we can walk....the scale keeps going up and up and up....haven't weighed this much since before Dx....I keep saying I want to take the weight off, but then I eat the junk!!! Need to loose 7 or 8 or 9#....lost 6 or 7# last summer and was right where I wanted to be...not as skinny as after Tx, but better weight than before Dx...gained the weight back since Nov...most of it when I came back from Israel....lots of nervous/emotional eating.....
Well, I see DH's car pulling up in the driveway......don't know if I'll get back tonight or not....so wishing everyone sweet dreams and a good Tuesday....Karen

Hi all, Was hoping to see Kathy's post..... hope everything is alright. Hey wasn't she the one who suggested another contact person if we didn't hear from her... I know hasn't been that long..... just miss her I guess.
Today was not a good day will write more but everything fell apart for my son and I went the the nose doctor and no good news on that front either.... I was up alll night last night so I'm readying and trying to fall asleep just wanted to check in about Kathy. Will catch up on posts tomorrow.... Night all Wake me if anyone hears from Kathy......
0 -
Wake up Stanzie, I am here, barely. May have to run and upchuck any minute though. Sorry your son had a bad audition,and that you didn't get good news at the nose PS. Please see another one, don't give up.
Well gals the day started well, and I happlly went to the hospital. Could picture you all there with me, up on the tv in the room, hiding in the linens, etc. Made me smile. BUT why don't they tell you that an 11 am arrival time means an after 2 pm surgery time? surg was an hr and a half, and PS said it went really well and i did really well. Didn't get to leave there till 6pm (got there at 10:30). Was nice to hear all the nurses raving about how good my PS is, and one even had him do PS on her. Each time I tried to eat at home (first was jello and crackers), it all came up. Not fun. So I have pain, headache, and a bit nauseaus. Maybe the hydrocodone (Loricet?) is not agreeing with me. Have to sleep upright in the recliner for several days which prob won't work too well. BUT no drain....yay for that. Might just try tylenol tonight. Told the recovery nurse about us having a drinking thread, and how I KNOW you all will drink for me for a few days! But bummed out that pau hana came and went without a dwink! But this teeny netbook is making my head feel worse, so signing off for now. Just wanted to let you know I was ok. THanks for all the nice thoughts and concern. Love you all, Kathy

It could be we are partied out.?!? Also hoping Kathy is fine.
My life is back to (almost) normal with a new tea kettle. Eating real food and drinking wine once again. The leftover lamb shank was delish, and still have enough for tomorrow's dinner.
Nude Klimt print for bathroom is a hard one to find a frame for, so returning the one I got today with tea kettle. Thought I would spice things up a bit in there. Or perhaps if they are wondering about the naked lady, they won't notice the mouldering cycling shoes underneath. Hmmmmmm........
I am amazed by giclee technology. Just the most amazing quality for dirt cheap. I can't wait to explore some other stuff. Thilled about that. I am saying this as someone with a MA in Art History. I think of the hideous prints my mother had which were considered treasures.....
Heading to bed soon with regular (not non drowsy) cough syrup. So glad to be back to wine.
Sleep tight everyone. - Claire
0 -
Kathy....just saw your post. Will need to finish the bottle now
Suspect you will be much better in the AM.
I had a 1:30 pm surgery which ran about 3 hours late. My take is that some poor woman got some terrible news which resulted in much more serious surgery than anticipated. I was supposed to be the difficult case. I wasn't.
Anyway, it's over. Major, major congrats. Sleep tight. - Claire

Thanks to everyone for your support. My friend whose daughter is at the same school said Poopy Pants yelled across the library at her daughter to let her know she was violating the dress code. She yelled back that she was not going to wear a turtleneck in 90 degree weather and kept walking. Her DD's boyfriend said that he had detention last year (before Poopy Pants came along) and they were allowed to use the facilities as needed. Mt friend is a teacher at a different school and she really encouraged me to write to the district, which I have done. DH called the principal as well.
College is such a hard decision. DH and I have been discussing the community college vs. San Francisco or Portland and we see pros and cons to all the options. We did discuss her readiness for 4-year university and I too have some concerns but it is a delicate subject and I thought we agreed to discuss the whole issue with her at an appropriate time - certainly not when DH was grumpy, I was asleep, and DD just had an awful weekend. The community college here is awesome - I have taken many classes there. She just wants to get out of town and frankly I could use a break!
Kathy - so good to see you here! I'm glad things went well. I almost always get nauseous after surgery. I'm sure it's the anesthesia. One time they gave me so much junk I almost didn't wake up... it was Friday evening and the anesthesiologist (the guy who gets the big bucks) was on his way out the door... now I warn them that I get really sick and last time I didn't have a problem. Maybe my system has learned to deal with it. You get extra pau hanas when you miss one so don't worry.
Claire - Love Klimt! Too bad you couldn't find a frame. I used to have a copy of a Gauguin on tile in the main bathroom. My SIL begged me to get rid of it cuz she thought naked women were inappropriate for a home with small girls. Our bathroom gets so humid it's hard to have art in there.
0 -
Gail..... you obviously need to add to your nudes collection before your SIL visits again.
At least, you didn't have Klimt's "Relaxing Nude" on the wall. Even too racy for my taste, as she is about to "really relax" herself if you get my drift.
Gaugin in the bath sounds just right. And then, take a glass of champagne into the bath with some heavenly bath potion. - Claire
0 -
Kathy, welcome home! Like Gail and yourself, I too am one that gets sick after surgery. I also can not tolerate any of those pain meds, hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxycotin......I get sick and dizzy and throw up. You need to eat to feel better, but if you can't keep it down? Hope today is a better day for you. Just glad that all went well.
Gail loved your story about Gale Storm as well and agree with Karen. I hope you have a wonderful 40+ yrs ahead of you.
Stanzie, sorry about your day as well.
Dorothy, hope you were able to make it into work ok today!

Wahine - Oh I'm so glad it went well and you're home resting, but so sad to hear of pain and nausea - bleck! I'm sure that will improve pretty quickly. I know how frustrating those delays can be. I had a blast on the bus yesterday drinking gin fizzes and Alabama slammers and being small and quiet - ha ha ha, had a great buzz going and was hooting and hollering, real quiet like for ya! I'm sure wishing you a speedy recovery and sending a bouquet of fragrant gardenias, ooooh hope they don't make you puke though. Anyway, glad you made it through and that you have a great PS!!
Stanzie - Sorry to read that your son had a bad time and also that the nose procedure isn't sounding too positive. I will wait to hear more, just wishing you the best!!
AStorm - Man that Poopy Pants sure sounds like a major A-hole! Hope someone sets him straight. The college issue sounds complicated too. I found high school so easy, then went straight to a 4 year college and wow was it a lot more work than I was used to. After my first year I took some summer classes at the community college and they were a lot more work than high school too. It would have cost a lot less to go to 2 years of community college, but I couldn't wait to get out on my own. Hope you all come to an agreeable solution soon. Now having watched so many of my nieces and nephews go through this decision making process I know how difficult it can be, and costly, and I wish you the best.
Claire - Yippee to you for feeling back to par! Great news! I'd lean toward Gaugin and a glass of champagne. Das cool you have an MA in Art History! That would be so fun...also wish I coulda spent more time in literature. One of my all time best classes in college was early American literature cuz my prof was so animated. He would almost act out the scenes from the book in his lectures, he was so fantastic and he had a booming voice and the most wonderful storytelling ability. I loved art history too!!!
Dorthy - Yes, I am doing better lately because I'm really focusing on not letting things get to me...the things are still there, but at least for the moment I'm not letting them make me upset. I'm so prone to meltdowns, that I can't say how long I'll be successful at this, but I'm feeling pretty effin happy and movin on with my life. You sound good too!!!
Karen - My DS was at UC Berkeley and she invited me to go to class with her one day when I was getting ready to go to college. It was so cool to go with her - huge lecture halls, huge campus, huge PE facility, etc. I ended up going to a small college, though, "Granola State" in Northern CA, which was much better for me. My upper division classes only had about 6 or 8 students. I really loved it. Sure hope that headache clears up soon.
Hiya Goldie Hawn, he he he, like what DorK said...hope you're doing well.
Well we had a lot of gravel showing yesterday, but now as the sun is coming up I can see we got a thin layer of snow again, ug. And it's snowing...time for my morning vodka...wishing you all the best boozy day and hope ya'll have great weather!
BIG CHEERS!!

Hi girlz! Well, I am alive, so that is good. Had a horrid night....kept getting sick till about 2 am, tried to sleep in recliner (tried both sides of reclining sofa)....did not sleep, just ended up with very sore back and horrid headache. Surgery sites are not bothering me, it is mostly my head, and whether or not I can keep anything down. I know I will get better soon....just wish it was "soon" already! DH still has to do a lot for me, but later today or tonight I will def try the bed, with lots of pillows, as have to be sorta upright. MY PS gives me TWO antib's (cause of implants) as well as pain med, and I will start the poopy softeners too.
Beans, Love, love, love your pictures! Thanks for the gardenia, I can almost smell it, and love it. The poopy pictures were kewl too, and so appropriate for that mean school VP. Can not tolerate looking at the champagne, but the cat with the invisible champagne looks good to me!
Thanks everyone for the kind words and concern. I sure enjoyed you all being there with me! Will try to be well in time to get on the bus to head up to Canada for Kymn on Thursday! I know our bus travels at lightening speed, right?
You gals are the best breast friends anywhere!

Yipeee Kathy is back and up and talking too!!!!! It is raining here and wanted to sleep in too bad I had to get the kids off to school....
Claire - I wasn't familiar with Klimt - loves some of this stuff a lot!!! Beautiful now on to the nude drawings..... ummm which one did you want to hang in your bathroom? Yours or for guests? I think most of them seemed either athletic or relaxed ..... so umm? And I like nudes a lot. I even have a lovely nude statue at my pool much to my kid's horror but I think she is pretty. Now if I had one of those.... nope can't do that but wow his different styles are amazing - some really beautiful works. Thanks.
So went to hear about what can be done so I can breath.... not good. May take 2 surgeries! Both complicated and my nose my look even worse... plus not covered by insurance... depressing to say the least.
Next poor Greyson! He was so excited and wanted a good part so bad. He said he got extremely nervous said his legs wouldn't stop shaking and when he sang thought it was alright but they said he was an octave too low so try again! Well, I had been helping him and I'm a soprano so I'm thinking we were singing it together and I can't go too low so ?? Something didn't seem right. Anyway he tried it higher and couldn't hit the notes and got embarassed so he was very upset. I'm just now worried he will totally give up
Ok, I'm going to put this in writing cause maybe it will make me feel better. After my mom died she had two silver tea services. One had the initials of my great aunt who my daughter is named for. Well after she died I was so overwhelmed and my sisters were being awful and mean and fighting me for everything... well the real estate agent who we were sort of friends well, he starts really badgering me for one of the tea services... And who knows why but I ended up basically giving him one - he paid me like 200.00. Well I had this woman come over to appraise some of my Mom's things and guess what the one I kept is silver plate and basically worth very little the one I gave away with my great aunt's momogram which should have gone to my daughter.... worth a bloody fortune!! I am just sick!!! He wanted it to give to his wife for their 10th anniversary so the chances of getting it back are nil. Just want to crawl under a rock - so so stupid.
So my Day isn't starting out great but liked looking at the art work so that helped.... thanks... Kathy so glad you are feeling better - yes I too get nauceous after surgery.

Stanzie, oh so sad about your Aunt's sterling tea service. You were grieving at the time,and that agent seems to have taken advance of your state of mind. At least you have one for memories though, even though not as valuable in $, is valuable in sentiment. Would have been nice though to have passed on that other one to your DD. When I had a choice yrs ago of a sterling tea service from my grandma or a silver plate tea service from my parenst friend (Winston Churchill's great niece), I chose the silver plate as it is very ornate and pretty. There is also a story behind it...one ot the heads of a big silver company wanted to copy the pattern , as he loved it, (when she was alive and had it), so she loaned it to him to copy. When he returned it, he added a set of sterling floral spoons, which I also have. But then yrs later when we divided my g'mas silver, she had several sets, and I ended up with the sterling one after all, but it is very sleek and I do prefer the ornate one! I really need to write down the history of things I have, so my kids will know. I hate the probs you are having getting your nose repaired, I still hope you will see some other PS', as maybe there is someone who can code it correctly to have it covered, since it was from an accident to begin with. OR can you call your ins co and explain how it was never fixed right to begin with???? SO sad for Greyson....I hope he doesn't give up! If it is any consolation to him, so many great singers and actors were rejected when younger and told they couldn't sing, etc. This is just someone's opiinion, and not a true reflection of his talent and passion.
Still trying to get this coffee down.... but MUCH better than I felt last night.

Hi Kathy....
Glad it is over, and sure things will get better very soon. Sounds like no fun at all, but suspect you knew that going in. Think of your new perky front just in time for T shirt season!
Beans (think it was you)......the Body Shop Moroccan Rose Body Butter sounds divine. I have their bath/massage oil. Haven't dared try the second use of it. Wonderful for a soak in the tub and leaves you skin so wonderful and scented.
I missed out on the pain meds fun as never needed them. I think this creeping crud experience is evening up the score though. Can't wait to be 100% as definitely dragging this AM. More tea will help.
Soooooo glad I went straight out and got a new electric kettle yesterday.
Beans.....still mid March so still time for more snow. Just beyond grey here, but at least no wind. Hoping for sunshine soon. - Claire
