A bit of info for the gals who haven't done the genetic testing counseling:
The BRCA 1 and 2 test looks for two specific mutations in the BRCA gene, cleverly named BRCA1 and BRCA2. These 2 mutations are associated with high rates of breast cancer and ovarian cancer (especially BRCA2). BUT, and this is a BIG but--this isn't the be-all end-all test. The test results can be
1. No mutations found.
2. BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation(s) found.
3. Mutations NOT BRCA1 or BRCA2 but of unknown significance found.
4. BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation(s) AND mutations of unknown significance found.
Getting results 1 or 3 places a woman in the "no known genetic risk factors" category. BRCA 1 & 2 testing is done more to determine what follow up a woman needs than anything else. BRCA1 or 2 positive status indicates the woman needs more intense follow up--mammos every 6 months, ovarian ultrasound at least yearly, or it affects a woman's treatment choices (mammo vs lumpectomy, oopherectomy or hysterectomy or both, going on tamoxifen if premenopausal to prevent bc). For instance, if I had tested postive for BRCA 1or 2 I would have needed ovarian ultrasound every 6 months to 1 year, or I could have opted for oopherectomy and/or hysterectomy, and my onc would have considered keeping me on hormone therapy more than 5 years. Thank the Good Lord Above, I tested out "no mutations found." I'm not sure it was pure bad luck in my case since I had a lump that was atypical hyperplasia in my late 20's and have had annual mammograms just about every year since, so I'm thinking radiation exposure played a role, but anyway,
Oh, dear, got up on the soap box again. My apologies and JOCK, PLEASE bring me a vat of something yummy made with Godive White Chocolate Liquour, I still haven't found a bottle around home so I need to get my fix here in the HTL!

LMAO,Dork that nickname is cool. I guess it's better than Undie when you put it in those terms,lol. And i'm onboard for buliding something. I've already been practicing on my home. When I bought it I hated it but I tore the place apart and started all over. Now it's so much nicer. GOLDIE-Thank you for posting that pic of Albino. We've nicknamed them all,probably not smart since we want to find homes for them. They say not to name them if you're not keeping them. SCUBY-All is good here,glad to hear you're feeling better. Love the beer name! Now to find it in my area. Beans-what's up? Have to get going,picking up DD to do some more work on my doors. I think it would be easier if he just put me in a bubble.

To all the girls stuck in cold weather today. Here's some cali sun to keep you warm. It's in the 80's here. Sorry to bump you Karen,here's another glass of wine. Hope you feel better soon. Now i've got to run. 0 -
Hello Chickadees,
Happy fried-dey and I am appropriately fried. We are having all kinds of wild weather today. It went over 60 degrees but is not already down to 42 and the wind is roaring. I am taking Stella to hang out at the outdoor pool, it is always a perfect temp outside the HTL. Ah, that is better. 82, no humidity and brilliant sunshine, THIS is why I come here.
Mema, me hopes your car ain't been dwinking too. And ha, Mr. Wiesel, a doggie. We thought you brought us a new tender. Does he bix dwinks for ya? Glad yer DH let ya sleep in, he so niceliest.
NM, as always, enjoyed your post today. I just love how approachable you are with your knowledge.Good point with the inflatable chapel, we will need that for our road trips. As for property values, many areas of the country are still in a severely declining real estate market. Maine has been stable since the big melt down and you are fortunate. All it takes is for one or two of your neighbors to have their homes foreclosed on and down goes your value. My client was in a stable market, just dumb luck that his home is being compared to homes that were built new and just four years later, resold by banks who sold them for much less than market value.
Chrissy, love the pic of you and that adorable lil sock monkey. You can borrow de Mr. Big for de weekend if ya want, mese don't tink de goils will mind.

.Tom, Dick and Harry were in the pub enjoying a few quiet drinks one night, when they decided to get in on the weekly raffle.
They bought five $1 tickets each, seeing it was for charity.
The following week, when the raffle was drawn, they each won a prize.
Tom won the first prize - a whole year's supply of gourmet spaghetti sauce.
Dick was the winner of the second prize - six month's supply of extra-long gourmet spaghetti.
And Harry won the sixth prize - a toilet brush.
When they met in the pub a week later, Harry asked the others how they were enjoying their prizes.
"Great," said Tom. "I love spaghetti."
"So do I," said Dick. "And how's the toilet brush, Harry?"
"Not so good," Harry said, "I reckon I'll go back to paper..."

A quick pop in before heading out to work.
Tidy--if you have one of the BRCA mutations, your children each have a 50/50 chance of inheriting it, unless the children's father also carries a mutation then the children have a 75% chance of inheriting it. If your daughter doesn't inherit a mutation her children will not have it unless thier father does. Genetic testing is done on the woman with bc with other risk factors (diagnosis before age 50, mother, sister, daughter with bc, family history of bc before 50, family history of pancreatic/stomach/colon cancer, especially before age 50) to determine if a genetic element is involved. If that woman is negative for BRCA 1 or 2 mutation, then her children are considered to be at 'normal' risk. When a woman tests positive for a mutation, then the children need to decide if they want testing as well. The benefit is that if a child learns that they inherited a mutation that child can start monitoring for bc and ovarian cancer early on, mammograms starting in her 20's or 30's, ovarian ultrasounds, CA-125 testing yearly, etc. Before having the BRCA test done you should have a session with a genetic counselor--that is required before having the test done. The counselor will go over all this kind of stuff, plus the effect the different results can have on employment and insurance coverage, if your insurance will cover the cost ($3k or more) and some other things. It's a big decision to make.

Good sunny Saturday morning Loungettes! Hope youse all are well! So happy to have a normal game plan for today, gym, grocery store, pedicure, then a partay tonight to go to. Kicking this cold to the street with the trash!
Tiedye, for the nips, they can graft tissue to give you the feel of nip/areola and tattoo it or you can do just the tattoos. They have pigment colored inks and can match an existing boob (if you got one of em, which I don't) or will suggest colors as well. My PS has a tattoo artist that does this, which would make it easy insurance wise cause it should be covered. There is a woman in NJ who does it free, DorKy, think you were seeing her. Anyway, start with your PS. There is a thread on here too. I will PM you a link for a guy in Baltimore who works with Johns Hopkins (big hospital). He has a ton of photos before and after to help you get a sense of it. You gotta wait 8 weeks at least after you get the permanent implants (do you know if you are getting TE, tissue expanders, initially)? For me, I am only doing tattoos, BUT, may opt to have real tattoos of starfish or something not nips. I also have talked about doing a shark biting my left foob since that's where the rat Ba$tard got found. I am meeting with my PS's tattoo guy in the next few weeks to clarify if there a special considerations for tattooing over the implants, the guy who does my tattoos is a very experienced tattoo artist but hasn't tattooed over an implant. Will keep ya posted! Whew...
NM, lovely to see you on a weekend! Hope it's a good day for ya! Like I said, I did have the BRCA testing, the genetic counselor was very good. But even with my grandmother, her sister and my sister all getting the beast fairly young, we don't got it. But if I did, then at least my siblings would have known to get their kids checked too.
Undercoverebel, love the drunk girls with hammers! Cracks me up! My DH and I did a renovation on our first house, 4 houses later, gotta admit, I write checks...
Bernie, loving the puppy pics! Thanks for sharing, we need a big pet area for the HTL!
DorKster, where's Stella? Me heard some rumblins that she is planning a partay or somethin, youse better keep a sharp eye out on her.
Hope all you loungettes are doing great! Cheers! Lisa0 -
NM, I hope your weather clears up for your weekend work travels. What is "handwriting recognition", never heard of that. OH DAYEM.......Mema, I'm comin to where ever you and dat fire is. NM, gots you some FINE........lemme say it again, some FINE fire fighters. Not sure I can even continue my reading and responding........WHEW! I was sleeping with one eye open, cuz I was afraid of what DorK might do to me, since I flipped her off her hammock and into the pewl while she was napping. Did you git your Plant Protectors?
OMG Bernie, what an adorable picture of your babies. Oh, just saw the rest of them. SOOOO cute. I have said it before, Calva just doesn't look real. (I don't mean that in a bad way) She (I think a she) looks painted, or just too perfect, or something. And her skin looks smooth as chocolate silk!
Thanks Scoob, the sleepless nights are a common thing amongst most of us. Especially those on AI's or Tamox. Sometimes it's night sweats, sometimes it's hot flashes, and sometimes just can't fall back to sleep. I have all kinds of sleep aides, otc, valium, melatonin. Have not taken 2 different ones together tho, and usually take something the night after a night of no sleep, to be sure and get a good one in. I also try not to take something every night as well. You kind of get used to it, but when it's a REAL bad night, I complain!
Hahaha, tank ewe Mema.....den I shall pass on da Mr. Weasle.
Tidy, glad that Mema showed you and it got your attention. Sure hope you can get it under control. Like I said, I just remember other girls talking about it. Mema, that was in the past for you, yes?
Howdy Ms Beans, glad to see you stick your head in da door. I will have one of da boys stand guard dere, so dey can gib you a quick dwink or 2 or 4, or.........
Karen, hope you got to relax with your wine, and can have a goot weekend.
Shannon, I mean Unde'Shan, you are quite welcome, not sure why you had the troubles posting the pic, as it's obvious you CAN! Nice beach photo. We have a beach here at The HTL, did you know dat? Lub the DRUNK goils wif hammers da bestest.
DorKiest, tank ewe for habing one of de Tenders rock me. But I see you got eben wif me. Jocks told me you paid him to flip me in da pewl affer I fail asleep. You dirty dog you!
I know I should be on in da ebening, but I sit at the freakin puter ALL DAY LONG. I try to get here sometimes in the ebening, but it don't happen berry much. Please don't be mad at Dme. I lub you. 
LOL, just reading your sign off Tidy, and you had said "Tits up", which is something that is said around here quite a bit. But it dawned on me that your could say "Tidy Up". I know LAME, but it just hit me in de head.
Scuby, your day sounds poyfect, ‘cept for the gym part! Just kidding, glad you are even feeling up to hitting the gym. I have heard talk about the "shark" tat, but must have missed what it was in reference to. NOW I know. Pretty cool idea to have it biting the BAD BOOB, and brave choice at that! Oh, and we do have a Pooch Park here, and they have their own Pooper Scooper, whom you can see on the video.
How about a DIRTY DOG, for our DOTD;
1 oz Hennessy® cognac
1 1/2 oz vodka
5 ozchilled orange juice
1 ozchilled cranberry juice
ice
Put ingredients into a mixing cup or blender, shake, then pour into a mason jar. Enjoy!CheerZ and Tidy Up! LOL!

Way back in the time of the samurai, there was a powerful emperor. This emperor needed a new head samurai. So, he sent out a message to everybody he knew for them to send a message to who they knew, and so forth.
A year passes, and only three people show up: a Japanese samurai, a Chinese samurai, and a Jewish samurai. The emperor asks the Japanese samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head samurai. The Japanese samurai opens up a matchbox, and out pops a little fly. WHOOOOOSH. The fly drops dead on the ground in 2 pieces! The emperor says, "That is very impressive!"
Then the emperor asks the Chinese samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head samurai. The Chinese samurai opens up a matchbox and out pops a little fly. WHOOOOOOSH. WOOOOOOOSH. The fly drops dead on the ground in 4 pieces! The emperor says, "That is really impressive!"
Then the emperor asks the Jewish samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head samurai. The Jewish samurai thinks, "If it works for the other two..." So the Jewish samurai walks in, opens a matchbox, and out pops a little fly. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH. A gust of wind fills the room, but the fly is still buzzing around. The emperor says in disappointment, "Why is the fly not dead?"
And the Jewish samurai replies, "If you look closely, you'll see that the fly has been circumcised."0 -

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'
'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.'
'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?'
'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat .
After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'
'Leave everything to me.. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'
'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'
'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.'
'My, that's a lot' gasped Mrs. Smith.
'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'
'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.
'Oh, my God' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with'
'She was difficult' asked Mrs. Smith.
'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'
'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?'
'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away..'
'Tripod?'
'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.'
Mrs. Smith fainted0 -
SCUBY-I always was interested in flipping houses. DH and I will try our hand at that next yr. GOLDIE-I can post because you showed me awhile back but it's not fool-proof as this fool cannot always do it. Or maybe it's not me,maybe it's this comp. It's in serious need of a tune up. That beach pic took 5 tries before it finally stopped showing an x. And that was only after I pasted it to an email and copied/pasted from there! KAREN-I'm wondering like 1vamom what did you drink and how much???
