    I like Haagen-Dazs vanilla with organic chocolate sauce on top. Practically lived on that during chemo. I haven't had it in a while - since I started gaining weight on Tamoxifen! Not gonna give up my alcohol though!

    Okay - now I've decided to vent and everyone's going to bed!! lol

    I've been OFF this site since the beginning of August. Felt things getting pretty tense and then all of a sudden acouple of days ago I decide to hop on site and all sh*t broke loose!! Designing Diva gone (my mentor), Sige gone!!! And now this 'brat' stirring stuff up on Wagon girls thread!! I've never posted on the thread but I've read it from the beginning to present and I love it! It brings a smile to my lips and at times tears to my eyes because of the compassion that is felt between such beautiful people.

    I read Vickie's postings (on the wagon thread) and don't get it, don't understand why the brat said what she did?!? - must be the wine (only my 3rd glass?!?) going to my head or chemo brain!

    These people that write this negative stuff must be so lonely and terribly sad with their lives! There's not a day that goes by that I don't wonder when this bc will come knocking on my door again (and I'm still going thru chemo, my bc journey is still ongoing) and more and more I keep wondering how long I have to live in this beautiful but f*c*'d up world!!

    Life at home is NOT a PIECE OF CAKE these days - my DH (I love him dearly) and I are getting on each other nerves. Poor guy retired last year at 50 and wanted to travel. Lucky him, since then he's been traveling with me to the hospital for treatments, operations, etc. Life wasn't supposed to be like this, I should be at work while he's supposed to be enjoying retirement and cooking supper for me when I get home!!

    So I come to this site to put a smile on my face and forget about my 'wee' problems for abit. In the mornings I brew up some coffee and head straight to you women to see what's happening. I love reading all of your postings - Designing Diva, Sige, lini57, Poohrn1962, cthomason, teenw, donnak, Shel38 (are you Shelshocked?), JanisL from Chicagoland and her toy boys!, Ronda (where are you?) and the rest of you!!

    Okay on the what 5th glass of wine - I've read, reread my posting and I have one thing to say....

    .....Seems we just get started and before you know it,
    comes a time we have to say so long.... G'nite ladies!!

    Sonja...I put the brat on ignore she's history!

    Just got this so I'm posting it here.
    Mouse Story ..



    A mouse looked through the
    crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

    "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered -
    he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap

    Retreating to the farmyard,
    the mouse proclaimed the warning.
    "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap
    in the house!"

    The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and
    said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you but it is of no consequence to me.
    I cannot be bothered by it."

    The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a
    mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
    The pig sympathized, but said,
    "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,
    but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.
    Be assured you are in my prayers."

    The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a
    mousetrap in the house!
    There is a mousetrap in the house!"

    The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse.
    I'm sorry for you,
    but it's no skin off my nose."

    So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected,to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.

    That very night a sound was heard throughout the house --
    like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

    The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the
    darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake
    whose tail the trap had caught.
    The snake bit the farmer's wife.

    The farmer rushed her
    to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

    Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup,
    so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

    But his wife's sickness continued,
    so friends and neighbors came
    to sit with her around the clock.
    To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
    The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.
    So many people came
    for her funeral, the farmer
    had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

    The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

    So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you,


    remember --

    when one of us is threatened,

    we are all at risk.

    We are all involved in this journey called life.

    We must keep an eye out
    for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.


    REMEMBER:
    EACH OF US IS A VITAL
    THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
    OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

    One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend .
    Amen (how do you like that brat! oops, now I'm being combative.)

    Ah, Sonja. Thanks for the compliment. Stick with us over here on this thread. Knocking on wood.. we seem to be the least combative. We only discuss the important stuff like beer, wine, sex, and ice cream. Much more chill over here. Wow and let me compliment you on your post. 5 glasses of wine and I wouldn't be able to make such an articulate post, much less type one. Good job and G'nite. Pleasant dreams and do come back!!

    Wow Sonja- I haven't felt that good in a long time. Thanks for including me in such an illustrious group. This stuff is serious and there are enough threads to pursue that conversation. But everyone deserves a break- and I've not met anyone here who isn't trying to help our (unfortunately) growing community. I see my PS menana. First time since my exchange. Since I wasn't under general, should I head off our meeting with an apology for anything said under the influence? See ya in the garden tomorrow...

    Hi everyone - Happy Hour again tonight with gf's but it lasted til 930pm. Just catching up. That post from Brat, I thought was from Rhymeee. I even replied, decided not to send it. I just said,
    "your right, religion belongs on the prayer thread, just like the drinking thread would not want someone going there saying, don't drink or you'll go to hell or get recurrence."
    I didn't even realize it was just a sh(t disturber. But, hey, I haven't seen Rhymeee defend her words here. Who is this brat? Rhymeee would not stand for this defamation. Is that the right word?
    G' night chicas. I have a lil more catching up to read and a night cap to finish. Huuuuuggggggssss!
    P.S. Whenever you are all here having fun,I'm meeting my friends for a drink, I should stay home and drink w/ ya'll.

    Ahhhhh shoot! Looks like I missed another fun night! I live vicariously through your posts. I hope to join in one of these nights.... It occurs to me, since this is a morning post and I am noticing what fun you girls had last night...do we need to start a "hung-over" thread? Sure would be nice to have a place to go in the morning...the ole "hair of the dog" if ya know what I mean.

    If drinking caused breast cancer, bc would be a lot bigger problem.

    With this thread as long as it is hard to find the most recent posts. It is a fun thread.

    I'm still stuck on not offending people for fear I'll be sent to detention. Maybe we should rename the thread "The Garden". Only insiders will know we're talking about beer...

    Oh Teena...no one gets detention here! If we call this the "how about drinking" thread then all who would be offended should know enough to stay away...they should be thinking...uh oh, those are bad girls in there and if they come here and see we are...TOO BAD!! (although it could be fun for the shock value alone!)
