Good Evening Everyone: Well I go home early enough to check in before Im off again. Its been a very long, hard day and I'm tired. Cancelled the appt with my PS. Just too much to do in one day.
Well, just like everyone else is experiencing, the boards are slow again today. Im having a hard time posting.
Susan: The secret pals sounds like a great idea. Count me in. What do I have to do?
Denise: Well Vickie put you on the map, and I put you on the map. So there are 2 of you. On the bottom of the screen you can click "contact us" when you are having issues. They are pretty good at fixing things fast. I never thought about notifying them we are having issues. So I will do it when Im done.
Robin: I will put you on the map too.
Beth: I remember when I was waiting for my surgery. Although I was anxious, I also couldnt wait to just get it over. The next 11 days will go fast - it will be over - and you can move on with your life.
Debc: This one is for you. I know just how you feel.
Colleen: My contribution is a 3 layered brownie. Chocolate fudge, cheese cake, and chocolate mint with chocolate frosting and shaved white chocolate to top it off. Oh my - the calories!!
Vickie: Didnt you know that Im standing at the door and greeting people as they come to the fruit cake tent. I a nute case.
Liz: So your report sounds alot like mine. Just had increased uptake in different areas. Sure sounds like Degenerative arthritis. Ah the frustration of getting old. Have you had a dexascan? My PCP said the same thing to me. Make sure the onc looks at it. Well he did, and from an earlier post that I wrote, now he wants to go look at the x-rays himself. Gotta love it!
Oh my! Time has run out. So many more of you to talk to. Guess Im gonna have to catch up with ya all in the morning.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a new mother!!!!! Yep I am screaming. DW just got home from school and she calls me screaming in the phone saying oh my gosh, Lucy had a baby. Heck we didnt know she was pregnant. She was our donkey rescue that we got. I mean heck we both said she was fat but I mean heck I'm fat and I'm not pregnant! OH my gosh! I am just in total shock as if you all could not tell. I cant wait to get home and post pics. Dw said she is all dry and drinking from Lucy. Oh geesh, gotta name it and dont even know if its a boy or a girl.
Amy0 -
Amy!
Can't wait to see pics!0 -
Pics are here but not the greatest cause DW just sent them from her cell phone to mine but at least you can see.
Geesh come on clock I gotta get out of here.
Amy0 -
Oh How Cute! Can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl.
0 -
Congrats, Amy.....if it is a boy....maybe Ricky (like Lucy and Desiee had Ricky)...I know, I know...crazy....
0 -
Madison -I was thinking the same thing! LOL
0 -
I cant wait to find out either. Mom wouldnt even let us touch her when we got her but these past few months she has really come around and now you can brush her and love on her and kiss her nose. Not sure how she will be with the new baby but one way or another I am getting my hands on it.
I actually guess its great that we didnt know she was pregnant cause we would have been stressing totally about her and she apparently did just fine. I cant believe she had a baby.
Amy0 -
Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....Amy congrats to you and your so......do we know yet if ya'll have a little filly or a little colt....do we get to have a naming contest???????

Evening all! Just time for a quick post before dinner.
Mena, hope all is ok. I tried to call but got no answer and no machine. Send a pm or email if you don't feel like talking. I understand.
Margaret, thanks for the kudos on the pics posting but it was all Tracey's doing! She taught me!
Puppy, hi there sister! I see you have been very busy with the pics. I need to get back at it myself. I will take pics on Sunday with my gal pals. My best friend Carol is getting our friends and my family together for what she is callign a "bye bye to bethie's boobies" party. We are going out to the movies, a chick flick I'm sure, and then dinner where the guys don't want to go. And we all have to wear pink! The dh's and so's are going to be at our house playing poker and whatever they do when we aren't around.
Nicki, thanks for the encouragement. I really had not thought about it all day. And I am getting rid of the anxiousness by cleaning! Who'd have thunk it...I hate housework.
Vicki, can I have a marshmallow to play with instead in the hot chocolate? You know when you mush it around till it gets like taffy? I also like to toast em. Burnt and then pull it apart. Too many campouts with scouts.
Jankay, waiting for the info from mom's pt guy. I will call his wife next. She will know right off the top of her head. Men!
Denise, the Visa bill, hmmm. If you don't post for a while shall we send out a posse?
Amy, Congrats! A new baby of any kind if a welcome addition.
Shirley, when dh was out for 5 months after knee surgery I had thoughts of either suicide or homicide and it changed daily! At least when i dropped him off at PT I was alone for 2 hours. He made me nuts. He rearranged my can closet...alphabetically!
Susan, please count me in on secret pals! It sounds like when we did Secret Santa in college.
Gotta go....timer went off on oven. Love to all of you!!0 -
Amy....I think she should be called "circle girl" and can I have one??? Please??? Be good for Ted, calm him down. She's beautiful.
I just realized none of my last posts (yesterday & this am) never went through, so you're all going to have to guess what I posted. hehe
Niki....where do you find all of the great pics you send?
Z....WELCOME!! this site is better than seeing a therapist!
jank....loved the earlier joke, but so true.
Ns...hoping today is going better for you and mom.xoxo
Anne...so wish I could just come and give you hugs.
Cheri...I went for my teeth cleaning today and watched a video on gum disease to smoking and I will never kiss my hub again...well maybe after drinking. So glad you're really trying this. YOU GO GIRL!!!
Gotta run...walk Ted. Love to all xoxoxo0 -
Nicki - yep had a DEXA in February of 2006. It was exceptionally good for my age. LOL That's what my onc. told me. We'll see what he says. Yep the joys of getting old. But hey - I'll take the arthritis.
I contacted support about the site being slow. They replied and said it wasn't slow to them but they couldn't dismiss the fact that it could be their server. Everyone else might want to contact them since it's not just me thinking it's slow. Just an idea.0 -
Amy: Distorted Humor is running around. He wants to know if its a girl?
That baby donkey7 is just so darn cute. What is Mazer gonna do? Hmmmm what if its a boy.
Nicki0 -

Vickie0 -
i would love to do "secret pals"!!!!!!!
I already do the "chemo angel" thing and i just love sending things to my "chemo girls" ........ i've never met any of the recipients or even had any correspondence with them, but i just have a blast always being on the lookout for nifty little gifts and gadgets to send!
it would be even more rewarding to send stuff out to the gals around here!
i just love stuff like this ......... i was always the secret santa organizer at work ......... count me in!
gina?????? how are you holding up? let us know how you fared today!0 -
Oh my, secret pals..count me in.
Okay, a bad line of thunderstorms is almost on top of us...so I'm heading home.
Be back later (weather permitting)0 -
I'm back -- not sure for how long . . .
I would love to do the 'secret pal' thing. During chemo I had my 2 chemo angels and loved getting their gifts and letters. It was especially nice if I was having a bad day, week, month, etc.
Well, I had my colonoscopy, endoscopy this morning -- no cancer or internal bleeding -- just a big hiatal hernia and diverticulosis. My GI dr told me to stay on fluids for another 24 hours (is he kidding???). The last 'real' food I had was yesterday a.m. at 8:00. I am truly liquidated. My onc still doesn't know where the anemia is coming from.
My daughter is having her c-section Monday, so DH and I will be off to NYC. She'll be in the hospital until Friday. She and her DH got a suite at the hospital, so he'll be staying there every night and I'll probably come home Monday night and DH and I will drive directly to CT (they live in Rowayton) on Friday and I'll stay and help her out for about 2 weeks. I'm sooo excited - it's a boy!
I'm too exhausted to respond to everyone individually, however, my thoughts are with those of you having tests, pain, emotional difficulties and sadness. And to everyone, I send my love.
Sue0 -
Congratulations!! New life is always exciting.

I can keep a secret! I'm all in for the secret pals, sounds fun.

jankay0 -
Feel better and take care of yourself.

Count me in on the secret pals!!
Vickie: You sound much better.......hope you're feeling better.
Amy: That Baby is the cutest thing ever!! I so want to come to your farm..I love animals1
Nicki: Thanks for putting me on the Map. Just what the world needed....two Denise's!!
Sue: A new Baby on Monday, how exciting! Glad your tests showed no Cancer...But bummer on the other stuff. Good luck!
Cheri: Any news yet?
Well, DH has been home for 1 1/2 hours and I still live!! Vickie, thanks for your offer to bunk with you in the Fruitcake Tent....you may see me there regardless! He knows the bill is here, but guess he isn't to anxious to find out either!! Hey, it's no more expensive than belonging to a couple golf leagues, right?! I have no hobbies, except SQUARES......
Hugs,
Denise0 -
I am all for a campfire where they or we have lobster and steaks. Never been to one like that!
How about if i start sending a joke a day to cheer people up. I have bunches
jankay0 -
I'm all for jokes...anything to laugh...heres a campfire joke to get us going...
Viagra Coffee
This elderly lady went to the doctor for a check-up. Everything checked out fine.
The old lady pulled the doctor to the side and said, "Doctor, I haven't had sex for years now and I was wondering how I can increase my husband's sex drive."
The doctor smiled and said, "Have you tried to give him Viagra?"
The lady frowned. "Doctor, I can't even get him to take aspirin when he has a headache," she claimed.
"Well," the doctor continued, "Let me suggest something. Crush the Viagra into a powder. When you are giving him coffee, stir it into the coffee and serve it. He won't notice a thing."
The old lady was delighted. She left the doctor's office quickly.
Weeks later the old lady returned. She was frowning and the doctor asked her what was wrong. She shook her head.
"How did it go?" the doctor asked.
"Terrible, doctor, terrible."
"Did it not work?"
"Yes," the old lady said, "It worked. I did as you said and he got up and ripped his clothes off right then and there and we made mad love on the table. It was the best sex that I'd had in 25 years."
"Then what is the problem, ma'am?"
"Well," she said. "I can't ever show my face in McDonald's again."0 -
HMO in Heaven
An eye doctor, a heart surgeon and an HMO executive die and are in heaven. God asks the eye doctor why he should be let into heaven, and the doctor explains to God that he helped people save or regain their sight. God says, ''Welcome to heaven, my son.''
God then asks the heart surgeon what he had done in life that should allow him into heaven. ''I saved people from death from heart attacks and heart disease,'' the doctor replies. ''Welcome to heaven, my son,'' God says.
God then turns to the HMO executive. God asked him what he was, and the man replied that he worked for an HMO. ''Welcome to heaven, my son,'' says God, ''but you have to leave in two days.''0 -

Funny joke Miss Vickie. The interesting thing is last year my company changed our insurance from UHC hmo to an HSA/PPO plan and I would give anything to have the hmo back!
