    Susan! you never had a Mallowmar??!
    Oh I must send you a box- pm me your addy!
    They only are "in season" when it is cool because they are a cookie with a big marshmallow on top covered in chocolate. They melt really easy so they can't tolerate hot weather.
    A couple of years ago I asked the manager of the market if it was "Mallowmar Season" yet. And he looked at me and said "What are they? DEER??"

    Vivkie, so glad to have you back! Don't be lonesome - you are in the circle girl! As for poor Trenton and his mom... i would like to THROTTLE that Nancy Grace!

    Cheryl, I am so sorry you back is still hurting. I find that heat is always the best for mine. back pain is just the worst. My heart goes out to you.

    After I have my shepards pie I am reporting for duty.

    Does anyone else here wish BCO had a spell check feature???

    Good morning everyone. I cant believe I woke up late. I missed the sun rising - its already daylight!

    Liz: Im so glad you came to the circle. We have already put you in the middle of the circle. We have a special place here for you. I know you are still overwhelmed with everything. But we will be here for you. We are strength in numbers. And we are embracing you right now.

    Vickie: so glad you had a good time. I have been watching TV about Trenton. I hope they find him soon.

    Im waiting to find out what kind of sausage Carrie and Denise brought back with them. Thought it would be great to have that for breakfast. We could also have flapjacks and fresh maple syrup. Just collected some from the trees, right near the circle. Oh boy its gonna taste so good.

    OK! there are so many here now. Hard to mention everyones name. But I sure am glad you all are here.

    I'll be sitting at the campfire waiting for you all to wake up and have some coffee with me.

    Got the results of my tumor markers. Both the CA15-3 and CEA went down! Happy about that - no further testing for now. My big dilemma today? My husband is entertaining at a party and wants me to go with him! Ever since my bc diagnosis, I have isolated myself here at home. It feels safe. I am already having an anxiety attack just thinking about being around a bunch of strangers! In fact I am already thinking of reason to tell my husband why Im not gonna go!! I used to be a big party person! So if I do go, maybe I can take some of you with me.

    Oh I just had a flashback of a very good friend. I miss Sheri very much. What a true inspiration she has been to all of us.

    So Sheri, if your reading this - good morning. We miss ya gal! Seems we have put the same person on ignore. Glad to know Im not crazy!

    Im hoping you will come down to the campfire and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with me. Have missed your conversations and whit.

    Have a great Sunday

    Nicki- go to the party, I always say "any excuse for a party" Have fun, especially if your DH wants you to go, enjoy!
    I saw Sheri's post in debate and was so happy to see her, although I wish she'd come to a happier place, like this or the drinking thread.
    It seems Rhymeee haters have risen up again. I told her I would stayed gone the first time, but she is stronger than me. Let's all play nice, please.
    Off to the place where I pray, so as not to mention my religion and piss some people off, but I will think of each and everyone of you.

    christine: you have twisted my arm. I am officially going to the party this afternoon. OMG - Im gonna need a xanax! My husband is thrilled. First time I have gone out with him since Diagnosed last April 2005. Ahhahaha I feel like it's a 1st date or something.

    Anyone want to come with me? I may need someone to kick me in the butt if I decide to go sit in a corner and pout.

    Im not gonna be here for lunch, but I have just made some homemade bread. Have all kinds of sandwiches for everyone. Ham, turkey, tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, peanut butter and jelly. Also made a great opened face sandwich with chopped home grown tomatoes, basil, a little olive oil, onions and garlic - for all my friends that might be vegens! (have some optional Romano and Mozzarella cheese to go on top for those that eat cheese). Got homemade cole slaw. And a special dessert (for Mena) chocolate cheesecake.

    Hope you all enjoy. Probably wont be back until tomorrow morning so hope you all have a great Sunday.

    HELLO ALL, I think this posting of praying to God, is just a problem for a chosen few!!!!Most of our sister's Know We would never insult them, only send them the BEST We can, and to Some of us God, is the answer!!To some, it is the beauty in the Earth, and to Some, it is Healing Light, and Many More, beliefs. to Me I welcome, ALL because i know whatever My sister's send Me is from the precious Love, they have for ME!!! Rhymeee, is one of the Sweetest sister We have, and when She sends me Healing Light, I FEEL THE LOVE. So, to any one that Hurts Sweet Rhymeee, and My Precious Sherry, I feel You have lost out on knowing two of the BEST on this board!!!!!! NOW, please pray for Me, or Whatever, your Love is, tomorrow i need ALL I can get, if my heart passes, then they can try and figure out, WHY, my nodes are so swollen. AND HELL, pass the da#n biscuits, i'm tiered of this stupid diet. debbyfive (Puppy)

    Niki - So glad to hear you are going to the party ... and yes... I'll go along - just slip me into a bag or something ... and when you're feeling uncomfortable or someone asks you something stupid... or makes one of those comments ... just smile and think of all of us in the circle that are with you ... and who understand you. I hope you will have a wonderful time at the party.

    Thinking of all our sisters who are in need of support ... sending positive, healing energy and lots of support to each of you!!

    Hugs,
    Doreen

    Ya know, I don't know why I bother reading the rest of these threads (except for inspiration/prayers) My friends are here. All of you are great. I'm in awe. How do I get across in words how much I mean that!!! Such a gracious, supportive group of women and once again, I feel honored to be a part.

    NS I will pm you my address. whatever a mallowmar is, I want to try one.

    Nicki can I go to the party too? I think I'd like to hide in the bag with Doreen. I'm not much of a party person myself these days.

    Newvickie glad to see you back.

    Debbyfive, I'm going with you to the doctor tomorrow. So don't forget me. I hope you got sleep last night. I'm on a diet too. ARRRGH

    Robin, so glad you checked in. I know what you are going through sucks but you are such a sweet wonderful lady. Please crawl in the middle, here's a nice down blanket. If you need anything let me know. I'll be your gopher. And will dfintely be going along on the 27th.

    Lisa, same for you. Come sit by the fire and we can chat and get to know each other. I'd love to hear about your beautiful children. Forget the stats. You are special.

    And Miss Sherry there is a place waiting for you by the fire if you want to come and have a cup of tea with us.

    woohoo

    Hey circle girls. Did anyone notice me wandering around the hills lost for the past week? Well I've found my way home again and ready to sing and dance with our sisters.
    I met Mena today!!!! What a sweetheart( and a fun one)
    Since I came back so late, do I need to pick anything up?

    Hi ladies.
    Gonna hang out in the middle of the circle tonight in my dreams. Wandered a week in Florida and home again now but wishing I weren't. There should be a law that your children aren't allowed to live more than 3 hours away!

    Hope everyone is doing well...haven't had time to catch up but I've been thinking of you all daily.

    Big hugs to all.
    Vickie

    Thanks Lini, NS, Chemosabi, Peggy, Susan, Robin, Tgirl...oh gosh...thanks everyone. Have cried constantly since coming home but I can come here and feel better. Think maybe I need to pack my wagon and move to Florida...anyone want to ride along?
    I have always loved my home until BC...I can barely stand to be here now for some weird reason. I spent so many months sick on the couch with chemo...alone after mast...alone during rads...I just can't bear to even sit inside anymore...will this go away? I can't imagine a long winter cooped up in here!
    I'll have to spend my winter online!!!

    Trenton update: Saw this at 2 am this morning but went to Jersey get together so this is my first chance to post:

    There's a $5,000 reward for anyone with news of Trenton.

    If you see a Silver Mitsubishi Eclipse with this Florida plate, call 1-800-Call-FBI. The plates read: T21 5CX

    Btw, two men were in the house with Trenton's mom before she killed herself. They saw no sign or heard no sound of Trenton, as if he wasn't even there...So, there may be someone else involved.

    The mother's refusal to cooperate with the police and take a polygraph are somewhat indicative of guilt...

    The mother had been having musings about funerals, and her friends didn't even know she had a baby.

    The FBI has the mom's computer hard drive and hopes to gain a lot of info from that.

    In an interview I heard with the mom, she sounds way to calm when her baby is missing for over 1-1/2 hours...she said he was "hiding," although she looked everywhere and couldn't find him. The commentator admitted she sounded to calm and as if she didn't even care...I imagine she was ill and couldn't cope...

    Please continue to pray, etc...the likelihood of finding Trenton alive is slim. But keep an eye out for that car with Florida plates. Again: Silver Mitsu Elipse: T21 5CX...

    I'm exhausted...went to the Jersey get-together today, which was awesome, but required 7 hours of driving round trip...I may or may not be back...Everyone stay well and safe...Mena...xo

    Hi guys,
    I met Mena earlier today and she told me about this thread! I would like to join you as I am just beginning this journey and can use all the support I can get! Plus I was a Girl Scout for 10 years and I can make a really good campfire! Anybody ever eat Banana Boats? Mmmmmm...banana, marshmallow, chocolate, wrapped in foil and melted in the fire....I will bring enough for everyone!
    Hugs, Kristin

    Thanks Peggy...sure did! Had such a wonderful week with my daughter and son in law in Florida (other than the stress over Trenton) and I just can't shake the "missing her" thing I have going on right now.

    Trenton info...Melinda was alone when she committed suicide...there were two men at her house the night that Trenton disappeared who never saw him. Praying still that they find him safe but yes it is looking unlikely. Melinda's note left no clues either.
