    OK…I have a few moments so I am going to try and do a bit of a catch-up post…

    Susan- I would love to be a secret pal…though I am afraid my post-mark would “out” me right away…So I guess I could be a not-so-secret pal

    Karen- good to see you post. Hope you got some sleep

    Good morning Vickie – how are your grumpies this morning? Mine seem to have been swept away a bit by some SUNSHINE this morning. Remember…every little thing is gonna be alright…..Thanks for the coffee and breakfast this morning…by the way your dance-dance revolution guy scares the crap out of me! LOL I had seen the boys taking their photo video before, but still laughed my butt off.

    Joyce- always glad when someone flies by with a NED announcement! WooHoo talk to you more this weekend..

    Beth – hang in there….try and stay busy.

    Jankay – thanks for the jokes. Hope you have a better day hon

    Amy – your posts make me want to build a big barn and get more critters! A neighbor has lamas and alpacas. They are beyond cute and have a wonderful smell to their wool. The neighbor swears they keep the bears away, but they are so cute and so much smaller than a brownie, that I can’t believe it works. Remind me to tell you about the cool soap I made with the felted wool covers. They would sell like hot-cakes if you are going in the soup business, and you would have an excuse to get your alpaca for the wool

    Shirley – hope your hubby is feeling better. There is nothing more stressful than a sick/hurting hubby…I laughed my a$$ off when you said you hated Kool-Aid. Heck, we can’t be a cult if ya won’t drink the Kool-Aid! ROTFLMAO!!

    Jasmine – I laughed at your Kool-Aid…but I wanted purple LOL. OK…something gross…have you ever noticed that if you drink a bunch of purple Kool-Aid it makes your poo green? How the heck does that happen??? And does it make you a little tiny bit scared to know I notice such things? LOL

    Gina – I have a PO box too. The mailman doesn’t come out this far. Maybe I can be the northern base for our cult. Sheesh…Glad you are feeling chipper enough to post. Just think, cancer cells are dieing as we speak! Better living through chemistry. Hang in there and don’t let stuff get you down.

    Yikes, I know I have left a lot of people out but I am running late. Hugs to everyone. AN extra hug for Cheri….

    Hugs

    Ladies, now that we have all corners of the US and Canada covered, I think its time to think GLOBAL! Yup, time to take our cult on the road.

    I'm with Peggy...let the others play there games and we will all stay here and take care of each other.
    Gina...they did break a lot of the rules. My guess is that the moderators are busy elsewhere but will clear this matter up in no time. Come to the center, have a seat, put up your feet and let us take care of you. We don't care where or what you post.
    Jasmine...I had forgotten all about PJ's, hugs and drugs! We were going to make bumper stickers LOL.
    Robin...what a beautiful baby...thank you for sharing.
    Cheri dear...where are you? Tried IM'ing you but your not there...
    Jankay...found a laugh for ya but you'll have to go back a page or two to find it...it's hilarious. Sending you a hug.
    Deb...the grumpies are subsiding...it is the weirdest thing to suddenly be so friggin down and have no idea why. I know that I am beginning to stress about my oncologist followup May 8th. I feel fine but I am really stressed he will want, for whatever reason, to run a full battery of tests since it's been a years since I finished chemo. Truthfully...I don't want too!!! He may not as I am really feeling great and have no symptoms. I hate anxiety.
    oh well...break time is over...geez...
    till later
    love and hugs
    Vickie

    Robin, I have all boys surrounding me between sons, stepsons and grandsons. We have one grandaughter so she is precious to me. SS #2 has fianlly contacted dh so we may even get to see her! BTW, I have a friend whose soon-to-be ex is allergic to poison ivy. She rubbed the plants all over his BVD's and let the fun begin! Seh even asked where on earth he picked up such a rash. We were ROTFLMAO after she told us!

    I have one thing to add to the turmoil and to pass on to the disease, exes, Evils, cysts, bad docs, miserable family members, nosy neighbors, irritable colons and whoever else needs a little razzzz:
    image

    No matter what, this cirlce among several other places on teh boards, have helped me with information and advice and support. I really am glad we have all found each other and can help one another.

    Gina, glad your first chemo went well.

    Shel, if we have to sacrifice something, let it be our exes.

    Cheri, all I can say is I am praying for B9 all the way.

    Shirley, dh in pain is not easy to deal with. They are the original grumps.

    Sheri, when our kids are sick it is so very hard to deal with but we are moms and know it is one more hurdle. Sending good vibes.

    Jaz, have no idea what else was posted but you are a strong lady and I love our Im's together.

    Tracey, where are the pics from your birthday? You have been so quiet lately. Write when you can.

    Mena, missing you.

    Deb, how are things in the muddy northern frontier. Every time I see something about Alaska, I picture your avatar!

    Puppy, no viruses yet!

    deb, you are right. secret pals would instantly know who the other person was by the post mark. if you send email, they would recognize your email. how can it be secret. I would need to start a secret pal web site. hmmmm.....with secret pal emails and post office addresses. oh i just went into overwhelm.....................................

    I'm all for "not so secret" pals

    Don't make it a crazy amount of work for you.
    It should be fun.

    Peggy-
    You are right...I am done. I was trying to make light and
    try and get rid of the stress. Maybe joking sends the
    wrong message. I will just ignore from now on. Thanks for
    the reminder

    Deb, I don't remember who posted it but it is so true, when the toddlers start throwing sand take them out of the sandbox. And I always use humor as a defense mechanism. I even used it during labor with ds when I told the dr that there was a lightbulb out in the OR overhead lamp!
    On anohter note, not so secret pals would be good. Maybe like having a sunshine club like we have at work. Keep us posted Susan.

    There are no headlines

    there is no tickertape
    no standing ovation
    sometimes it's all they can do
    to set their feet on the floor
    in the morning

    they go through their days
    the best they know how

    no rainbow need arch
    through the sky
    to inspire them
    they have a special courage
    shining deep inside

    they go through their days
    the best they know how

    Good afternoon CGs!

    Oh my goodness! I have missed quite a lot! This Circle is the most loving and forgiving place on earth. There is never any nastiness here. I'm sorry, but if that qualifies us as being a cult, oh well ! Enough said!

    Cheri, WTH!!! A cyst in your brain? I know it is not a tumor, but CRIPES!!! It was interesting what Jaz said about you being sick. Hmmmm.

    Amy, you should name your new little donkey, Maxwell!! "Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down on her head" . I'm not sure if those are the exact words, but you get the picture!

    JanKay, sweetie, you really do have a lot to deal with. If you need to cry, go ahead. You can use our shoulders, they are nice and strong. And afterwards, we can all laugh our butts off .

    Sherloc, I'm sorry your DH is in so much pain! That is hard on both of you. Hopefully he will feel better soon. I loved the pics of your kids and grandkid.

    Sheri, What is an FNA? I'm happy your son made out ok with it.

    Robin, great pics of the kids!!! Thank goodness everyone looks like you and not the EVIL.

    NS, I'm glad you survived your first chemo. It's gonna be tough, but you are a strong woman and you will do just fine. I wanted to thank you for all your well-written, from-the-heart posts. You have put feelings into words in a way that I never could. I always felt like you spoke for all of us! Thank you for starting the Wagon Circle!

    I have been so busy this week. Working extra hours and doing stupid stuff around the house. We are going to our oldest son's house this weekend to help him cut down a big cherry tree, in his front yard, that died. That tree was so beautiful, it's a shame to lose it.
    I saw my BS yesterday and he said all was well. No lumps, bumps or anything of that nature.
    I'll check back a little later. Hope all is well with all my friends today!

    Hey ladies I say that "Pink Pearl Cult" it is and of course our "signature cult uniform will be pink pearls"......of course NS will wear a strand for every member because she is of course our fearless leader and then us "followers" because we don't have a minds of our own will wear just a single strand....that way we will be able to recognize each other in airports and other public places....that way we can hatch our evil plans to force women to breast exams right then and there (because we will be carrying little compact mammogram machines)......and the poor women that indeed have "bc" will then be forced to join bc.org and become members of the wagon cicrle.......NS plans to overtake bc.org will continue.........ha..........

    Update on my teeth.....I have 0 cavities. How cool is that. Do need two crowns on old unfinished root canals (knew that already) and then we move on to braces. Doc said he won't do it till he is 100% sure moving my teeth while on aredia won't cause any damage. Hmmmmm

    well shoot howdy MB, thanks for reminding me. Have a package chock full of bras in my car. Hmmmmm who sent them to me???? CY I think.....Thanks dear in spite of my rudeness.

    Shel, you crack me up. Ummmmm you can send the fees to me. I'm getting braces. Do you know how much those suckers cost.

    Deb, very good point about your address. I think that would apply to a lot of us. Hmmmmm Maybe instead of "secret" pals, we can just have Circle Pals. Susan???

    Robin, awwwwwww aint grands the bestest.

    Time to take hubby to his appt. Say a prayer doc does something about the pain issue. Have no idea what but then I'm not the doctor.

    I love you all to bits. My PO Box is open for anyone who wants to send me bras, cards, buttons, CD's, whatever. I am especially fond of the green paper with pictures of dead people.
    O dear me I do hope everyone knows I'm kidding.

    ok, doing research for secret pals. there are websites where you can buy things and have it be from your secret pal. you could create an additional email address for yourself from yahoo, msn, or your current provider.

    snail mail will have city name. maybe ups would cooperate with the secret pal thingy, but in this day of homeland security, I'm guessing not. still thinking. if you have any ideas, please post them.

    note: a lot of the secret pal websites are focused on knitting/crocheting. whadayaknow
