Nicki, apply for that job, but don't forget what you know about knees. I still want you to hold my hand.
JoJo, I am with you all the way today, hon. Good Results!!
Mena, will praying get rid of my fat ass? Hmm...never thought of that. Guess I need to pray harder.
Hi Rhymeee and Christine, was so nice to meet you in person. Now when I read your posts I can see you.

Please Pray for me. i have been so direspected in the debate, i went there to post on the never forget 911, and was sooooooo insulted. I was told i use my illness as a excuse for typing in caps. i just wanted to remind them, that 911 was why we were posting. (crying, goodbye for now, i love you all and i will pray for you all) debbyfive( also known as puppy given to me by my best friend mena)

I'm so sorry you were disrespected. You are always so sincere in your posts. I don't know what happened, but you are in my prayers, as are everyone in this circle. You may not believe in prayer, but since I do, I will continue to pray.

I cant stay long. Again, a very busy day at work. Just remember, the circle is a safe place. I tend not to wander so much - dont like conflict.
Glad we are all here. JoJo, how are you?
Nicki0 -
Here's my $.02. Stay out of the debate forum. The circle is much nicer.

has anyone heard from Jojo?
I pray everything went ok with her today!
I must say that this thread DOES make me hungry!
I am so happy we have a safe haven here from all the bad in the world.
the little things are annoyances and the mean things are truly a waste of precious time
because in the Circle, we have learned that it was created for the truly important and precious sisters we have who one day think they are dancing with Ned and the next turn around after a routine follow-up visit that they are in need of our love and comfort.
Unless we have walked in their shoes, I don't think we can ever grasp just how frightening it is for them... but what we all know deep inside us is that we could be them too so who better to put a warm blanket around the shoulders of someone scared and cold? Who better to offer a steaming mug of soup to someone who spent all day in labs getting scanned and poked and prodded? Who better to welcom to the red cross tent because their treatments are really wearing them out?
That is why we are Circle Girls.
Unconditional, open, never ending support, love and care.
Our journey in the Circle is filled with great food, wonderful stories, beautiful pictures and above all understanding...
Who needs to come close to the fire tonight?
Carrie isn't feeling well and she needs to come close...
JoJo will definitely need to be close when she checks in...
Mena? how are your treatments treating you???
Debby- come here and sit down and forget the nonsense.. because that is what it is. It is YOU we treasure. So don't worry about a thing.
How is Pennylane?
How about Tina?
And all our injured backs?!
And Denise? When do you hear anything?
Robin, don't wear yourself out on your week off girl!!!
We have to all get Nicki to get that job.. even if it means we all write letters for her about what a great support she is to us here.
I know I am missing girls, I am tired tonight... but after some coffee i will be able to start the evening watch...
Any cookies left to go with that coffee???0 -
Here ya go NS..
Hugs
P0 -
Aww! I knew I could count on ya Peggy!!!
THANK YOU!!!!0 -
Hey girls, lets make a little room here for a special visitor. He may not want to come at first, but his mom was a member of our circle and she passed away today...
To Karen's son Andrew,
honey, whenever you need us we will be here for you...
and we will be holding you close in our hearts during this sad and hard time for you right now. The Circle is waiting - just come on by.0 -

earplugs are available at the medics wagon lol!

(((((Andrew)))))

I can't sleep tonight. I can take over the watch for now.
Andrew I hope that you find the strength you need to get through this. I am praying for you.
lini0 -
Just realized that it's morning to many of you and you'll be rising soon. It's only 3 am here, but I'll rustle up some coffee and blueberry scones for you early birds. That should hold you over 'til the big fixins are ready.

Good morning! And what a sad morning it is, indeed. We lost our dear sweet Karen. Someone who I spent hours talking to on the chat last year. Poor little Andrew we have so much love here for you. The fire is burning brightly, Im sipping my coffee, and taking a moment to pray for Karen and her family.
The monsoons are over - hee hee. The rain has stopped. I can actually see the sun peaking over the horizon. I almost forgot what it looked like. It is beautiful. And yes, the crickets and frogs are singing once again. But not bird songs today. They have definitely left for warmer weather.
So we have all kinds of flavored creamers for our coffee. I also made a special pot that is flavored with Hazelnut. Oh my its tastes good with cream.
Yes, all this food we talk about makes me hungry. I remember waking up last night for one moment and raided the refrigerator. I call it wake up hungry. I must stop this, as this is where I get all my calories.
This morning for breakfast, I will contribute some poached eggs on homemade muffins with corn beef hash. Made the hash myself - so its pretty good.
You all are too funny. I havent heard back from my onc yet. I thought that would be a start. Dont want to apply for this job with my hat in my hand. But, I will call the CEO today. My oh my, what a resume I would present with letters from all of you. So today is the day. I will suck it up and try to find my old strong professional self - I seem to have lost that since I was diagnosed. Its a high profile job. I gotta be right on.
Will stop for a moment, and just reflect. We lost a wonderful sister. So sweet and so helpful to many of us.
Nicki0 -
Ok, my time is up. Gotta go to the lake and clean up, get dressed up, and get ready for work. And the water is freezing this morning!!
Its gonna be a late day on the ranch again. Dang meetings -I hate them. Its gonna be another one where the crap is flying. Think I might even take a xanax this morning.
So Im wishing all of you to have a wonderful day. And as you wake up and hear about Karen - well Im giving you a big hug.
Nicki0 -
Morning already? Just stopped by for a quick hello and am so sad about the news of Karen. I will reflect on my feelings and post more later today, as I have not been to sleep. All night at the ER, not really bc related but some aggresive lower ab pain. US, pelvic exam and transvag US, all they came up with was some fluid build up, maybe from tram flap, maybe an abcese.
Now I am going to bed, til later. My prayers are with Karen's family, we know that she, herself, is better now.0 -
ChristineK sorry to hear you had a rough night. Crawl into your wagon and we will keep the noise down so you can rest.
Such a sad morning as I awake to the news of Karen passing away and the thoughts of Andrew. Such a sad time.
Thank you nosurrender for the comments on this circle. I wont even try to to that,,your words were wonderful.
I head for treatment today so hope ya'll are up for a roadtrip. I can only imagine the look on my oncologist face as we all crowd in the room since I have to see her today before my treatment. Lets all suck it up and squeeze in because I need the support as I battle this reoccurence. I have only had one treatment of herceptin/zometa and the one cycle of xeloda but I know its working because my hip hurts less already. Everybody cross your fingers that this treatment is better than the first one and that I will be at work tomorrow. I hate not working!!!!!!grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Well, everybody get your horses and donkeys hitched up to your wagon as its about that time.
Giddy up,
Amy0 -
Just a quick check in!! Amy , sure hope your lower abdominal pain is better today; hopefully not an infection.
Amy, yes, we will all be with you today too. Come on over to the Red Cross wagon - the gals know just what to do.
Sisters, I haven't been here long so I don't know Karen as well as most of you. I too wrap her son, Andrew, and Karen's family in gentle hugs and many prayers.
Debbi, hope you had a good night and the sun is out where you are today - finally it is here.
Just gentle hugs to all who need them and prayers that everyone gets good reports or today is a better day.
Blessings, sisters, Brenda0 -

I stoped by for a quick hello. It feels so weird to be away from home. This condo is nice, but since I am the only one here the tiny space seems far too quiet and empty. I can't even get busy with chores, as I have none to do! I have a beading project sitting here that I'm going to work on. It seems almost indulgent to be beading while I sip coffee.
My treatment is going well, so I'm going to saddle up and go to Amy's appointment with her. Tell htat doc to scoot his butt to the side so we can all fit. I'm not going to eat any chili untilo AFTER we are all out of the little room though!
Christine- I hope that the docs find out what is causing your trouble. Rest up and feel better.
Nicki- GO FOR IT! You would be great for this job. All joking aside, would a bunch of letters from us help?? You certainly are great here....Good Luck.
Oh, one other cool bit of news. My Aunt is flying in from Michigan today to spend a week here with me! That will certainly be fun and help break up the time away from home.
Big hugs and prayers to all of you and yours.

So very much to say to so many today. I know it will probably require several posts as I am a bit forgetfull sometimes as there are so many in this circle to respond to.
First as to Karen my heart is heavy. I have known her for just a few days shy of 2 years and always found her to be nurturing, loving, strong, uplifting and a lot of fun. For Andrew and Sally, my heart crys today. I cant begin to express how I loved and respected Karen. Andrew, those of us that knew your mom will be watching over you as you grow and mature into the strong, fine man you will become.
Deb, don't you " dare " leave becaise of some who are " intolerant and judgemental " and dare to tell others how to type. It is unfortunate they are having problems understanding some very simple things..caps, quotation marks and yes even spaces serve the same in written type as the rising and falling of a voice ( also called inflection ) serves to emphasise certain words or phrases.
AGAIN, what people look for they will most often find....if it is offense....then they truly will find it.
NS, even though I did not participate in the 911 thread ( made only 4 comments at the very beginning of ONE of them ) it seems the very same ones who usually try and find fault and turn a debte into a slamming event again suceeded. What a shame.
Christine, sorry you had a rough night and had to go to emergency. Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing serious.
Susan AND Christiene, it was a pleasure to meet both of you ! Glad it finally happened.
Carrie is NOT feeling well......I apparently missed something on some threads. I will try and call tonight Carrie. Until then.....gentle hugssss my friend.
Deb, it must be stressfull being away from home. So nice you will have some company for a week. Beading? Please tell me more. How beautiful some beading is. Would like to hear all about it.
Typing very fast so this wont go poof as usual ( fast for ME that is )
NS, my powder is in fact dry and I am now riding the perimeter of the wagon train again. Our women and men and children will be watched over.
All have a safe day. Will check in later.
gentle gentle hugsssssssssss
