I was glad that Barney came after my kids were past the age to watch. They grew up on Sesame Street. I would have put a gun to my head if I had to listen to that all day.

Jan-My older two, now 24 and 22, did Sesame Street; but then I had one when I was 36, he's now 13. Came just in time for Barney. We have all of the Barney VHS tapes. I can hear still hear his "sweet" voice in my head.
And as a grand finale:
I love you,
You love me,
We're best friends like friends should be,
With a great big hug,
And a kiss from me to you,
Won't you say you love me too

Oh no not Barney.....and how about that sponge bob song...even worse.
Jan....I cheat and take one of my painkillers at bedtime and it works. 2 nights now haven't even go to the bathroom in the middle of night, but look out in the am. Get out of my way!!!!
Big bosses leaving today for a snow seminar in Wissconsin, and so happy not invited to go. I'm a little fish in the snow department. My next show is next month in Atlantic City and one night on a vendors boat for happy hour. Yeah baby...they can have their snow sh*t and I'll take the boat and blue drinks....0 -
MB...so dh is driving us to the falls on the little yellow schoolbus??

both of my kids did barney. I had all the tapes, books, stuffed animals and t shirts amd bookbags. My daughter would always cry after the i love u song and it turns out that she expected him to appear. she was and is a clever child she wanted to know in preschool why there wasn't ham on a hamburger. who'd figure?0 -
OOOH, Kristin, you go for it girl! Sending lots of positives your way.
Deb, how cool is all of this? I bet you win hands down! I would be walking on cloud 9 if I got to meet any of the authors I really enjoy reading.
Nicki, I would love to be able to get into a pool. I don't think it is a possibility for a while.
I called Mena and left a message so I will try again today and report back as soon as I know something.
Vickie, how nice of your neighbors to do all of that for you. I still haev a few here that are really wonderful.
Iris, need to send stuff back to Netflix and get more! I was thinking about BB too but can only afford one.
Cheri, hope every day finds you more and more healed and feeling better. Gosh, those are still puppies? They are really gorgeous.
Joyce, did you hear the final score of the Phils game last night? When we tuned in they were winning! BTW, did you know they are on the way to losing their 10,000th game? So OK, they are the losingest team in history but so what? Philadelphia fans are special that way.
Liz, Amy and Karen, how are the parental units today? Cyber hugs to all of them.
Margaret, you out there?
Z, glad the reveal went well. You come and let us knw whatever is on your mind and know we are here for you.
Jankay, gas up the scooter for today...I see the ps at 1 PM and dh goes to the gp at 4.
Speaking of which, the infusion nurse came and took out the PICC line. I had myself so worked up over it. The worst part was taking off the dressing. DH was there and i just hid my head next to him because I am such a wuss. Didn't hurt a bit. I am now on 750 mg of Levaquin once a day for 2 weeks I guess because of the results of the path report. Our prescription plan sucks for brand name drugs. It would have cost $175 for just 14 pills and the ps didn't have samples left. So I called the gp and they had enough. I asked if they needed something in writing from the ps but she said who would call out of the blue asking for an antibiotic? Besides, the ps copies the gp on everything. I still feel tired and the temp is hovering around 99 still. Ringo still draining but mainly becasue of the infection (I guess). Rehab for this guy soon! The bubble wrap won't last long as ds loves to pop those things!
I have a part of an email I got from JoJo today and please let us pray for her and send cyberhugs. She needs to go in the middle and be watched over.
"It's kind of funny, I was an "original circle girl" when the wagon circle thread was started, but as my pain continued to increase to the point that I could not read and write on the thread every day, or even every week, I started just trying to keep up with everybody as much as I could just by reading, and by the time I would read some, I would be in increasingly terrible pain, so I haven't been able to completely keep up either, but I try to read at least once a week, but you know if you miss a week of reading in the cg thread you miss so much. There are so many new girls in the circle thread, and although I feel like I know them, I'm sure most of them don't know me at all, and the ones that were there in the beginning probably don't remember me. There have been so many times that I felt like I was going to just explode with fear and pain, I wanted to pour my heart out to the cg's and ask for their understanding and prayers, but I really felt like no one would remember me so I haven't had the nerve to post on the thread."
I know she still reads when she can. Please pm her if you can or if you want to send anything snail mail, pm me. She really needs us guys. Only a handful of us still hear from her and I hope she gets a little relief soon.
Thanks for doing this. Love you all.0 -
scooter is ready and raring to go.
I got the catalog and made an order and had it sent toa friend.0 -
We're all "original circle girls".
JoJo-come tell us how you are. We'd love to hear from you. We're here to put you in the center of the circle for as long as need be.
By the way, has anybody heard from Peggy(Sige), Shel, what about Fancy2(does anybody have a way to check on her? she's has had a huge loss)? Hope they're okay.
Also missing Ronda(rondab) and Vera(evilelf)...
Check in and let us know how you are doing.0 -
First and foremost: whoever started the Green Acres thing Im after you. I was awake half the night with that stupid song in my head. LOL
Weve had storms here all night and more headed this way. Fortunately for Cheri and Susan, theyre all headed north. Look out girls in Kansas.
Robin focus on the PRE-melanoma. She may need additional surgery to remove a little more but Im praying all works out. You guys dont need anymore crap. Hugs.
Deb how cool for you. You are an amazing writer and you have every reason to be pumped up. Are you bringing some of your things to Pinkstock? Would love to read them.
Iris I would love to find money. LOL I remember finding money in a coat once. It was like Christmas.
Cheri you amaze me. You can remember so much. I have a hard time going to the grocery store. Thank you for being you. You are a real sweetie.
Marsha Great picture of you. Hope your anger improves soon. Hugs
Beth glad your picc line came out. Now to just get Ringo to settle down. Hopefully the Levaquin will get this infection and you wont lose the implant.
Amy go for the Oakleys you deserve them.
Nicki I fly into OHare on August 1st and arrive at 9:15 AM. I dont board again until 11:19. It would be so cool for us to meet. Ill remind you when its closer to that time.
Glad the pool is opened. Men are really clueless when it comes to things we have to get done.
Sher I printed the Kelly bluebook price and took it with me. Its their loss. I know they didnt care as that car wont stay on the lot long. I really looked good in it. LOL
Lini glad you got your surgery rescheduled.
Joyce your family and Kevin are in my prayers. I understand about being mad.
Gina let us know what the doc said please. Wish I were closer to help you out. Rest!
Denise congrats on the continuing weight loss.
Boo Im so sorry about your friend. Its very hard to say good-bye under those circumstances.
MB I cant wait to meet you.
Karen Sorry youre having all this added stress. Yes, its hard when our parents are ill. Go on your vacation. Rest and relax.
Kristin hope you get the job you want.
Madison When are you visiting your daughter?
Betty LOL I remember that song also.
Tgirl OMG! I cant tell you what I was doing the first time I heard that song. LOL I didnt do herceptin but I still have minor chemo brain. I finished chemo in Jan. 2006. Its slowly getting better I think.
Jankay I actually visited with mags, tink and gail yesterday for a short time. Theyre all doing well.
Jan now theres an idea. I could park my car where a tree might fall on it. Of course my luck, the insurance would make me fix it. Its a nice car just not what I want.
NO Barney. That purple thing drives me nuts. Fortunately my son grew up on Sesame Street also.
Everyone here is doing well. All the in-laws are home and have had good check-ups. Im trying to take time out each day for myself. I had a manicure yesterday. Not sure what Im doing today. Maybe sit and crochet and watch the rain.
Thank you guys for being here. I know I dont always post but I can come here and read and know that Im thought of and feel loved.
If Ive missed you, its not intentional. I have limited memory nowadays.
Hugs and Prayers

off and running this morning. Have vag u/s at 9, have to get bloodwork for onc before that, come home clean house so hubby can trash it while I'm gone, onc at 3, then I'm headed to Sacramento for the night. Daughter and I will hit the road about 5am tomorrow, which will hopefully put us in Portland early evening. We'll see traveling with 4 kids. Anywhos, have a great week ladies. See you next thursday.
Love you all to bits.0 -

Good morning CGs! Bet you all thought (hoped) I was gone for good! <VBG>
It has been a crazy couple of weeks, but I feel like things are finally getting back to normal. Im getting my energy back now that Im two weeks out from rads. I still look a little snake-like with the peeling skin but its improving.
Ive been a little blue with anniversary feelings (last Friday was 1 year from diagnosis), but am pushing that down. Ive had lots of doctors appointments, etc this past week. I get to have a colonoscopy (oh goody, goody, goody) and there is a place on my liver that they are watching and will re-scan in August. It seems like there is always something to wonder about.
My brother and I have been cleaning out my dads house and it has had its interesting moments. We found a pistol that Dad picked up as a war souvenir off of a German, which reminded us that there used to be another souvenir, too a live grenade! Neither of us is especially excited to start cleaning the closet where that used to be. You clean that one! No, you do it!! We remember Dad saying he was going to get rid of it, but dont know if he ever did. Anybody have a friend in bomb disposal???
Amy, Liz and Karen - Im so sorry to hear about your parents. Im praying for them and for you. Please take care of yourselves, and update us.
Laura Is the baby here yet? I have to disagree with Amy, noses are cute, but I love little fingers. Thats where my kiss goes, please.
Shirley Good for you on the weeding. I hate weeding. Flowering bushes and lots of mulch for me.
Beth I know what you mean about feeding all those boys. But I figured having my sons and their friends around was worth it because I didnt get ulcers wondering where they were and what they were doing. Boys can be so creative, and I mean that in the worst way!
Amy Im glad to know Im not the only one who has fun ring tones. My new phone was chosen specifically so I could have the Army Song and Anchors Aweigh for you know who and you know who!
Z Hugs to you, girl. Hows your mom? Remember the Circle supports each other you give and sometimes you take. Trust me on that one; Ive been on the taking end for a bit, and think Im ready to start giving again.
Robin Jazmine will be fine!! Pre means before remember!?!
Kristin Dont ya just love the doctor free days!! My fingers are crossed about this promotion. (Which makes me type funny)
Gina What did you find out about the lump???
AlwaysHope Hey! I like Barry Manilow. <VBG> Okay, Ill confess I like fruitcake, too. Mandy, and you came and you gave without takin
Deb Youre writers conference sounds like it was fun. Are we going to get a copy of your book when its published?
Cheri I like it when you ramble. Do you have any physical torture for your foot?
Denise Thats great about your weight loss. I want to know why my scale says I lost 17 pounds and the doctors scale only says ten? Ill see you on Saturday!! Hooty-hoo!
Betty I used to love the Brady Bunch, I was Peter (always getting into trouble) and my brother was Jan (super brainy).
Lisa Hope you are enjoying your trip!
Lini Thank you. At least Barney got the Green Acres song out of my head. Kay (Fancy2) has a memorial service for her DH this weekend. I have her address if anyone wants it, PM me.
I really should get to work now. I hope not to be away quite so much again!
Hugs to all,

Ok I just have one thing to say (well don't ya'll wish that were true) but this is to Joyce and the rest of us.....I get so freaking tired of people and I know they usually aren't being mean but Joyce for your MIL to tell you that God is testing you is just bullshit (sorry guys) but I get so tired of all this Dr.Phil advice from well meaning familly and friends like "there must be a reason you got cancer" or one of my favorites "everything happens for a reason".......I think if I hear that one more time I am going to have to get out my six shooter and say yea everything does happen for a reason....watch this........sorry guys but I really don't think my God tests us and all this crap that is happening to us and our loved ones.......Joyce it might be the Devil that is testing you but it is not God......he made you and he made Kevin......don't know why each copy that he makes is not prefect but for whatever reason it is not.......you can tell your MIL you have a friend that has a personal relationship with God and that he is NOT testing you or Kevin or any of us......he loves us........my neighbor down the street that had the stillbirth her grandmother told her that she was cruse because she was not married and God took her baby.........why in the hell would someone say that to someone else......all the babies being born into families where the parents aren't married which I think included Jesus himself I guess God missed them......oh geez brb..........

woohoo Shokk...way to go! You couldn't have said it better. I too get so sick of those comments. I really hate the "everything happens for a reason"...Anne...send that gun my way! Always wanted a pistol and now that I'm hormone deprived and miserable I want one even more LOL. Just kidding. My BIL is a cop...he collects guns but truthfully they scare the bejeezus outa me!
Listen up ladies...cyber party in the party thread starting today. Now...we had a tough time figuring out where we were gonna party and finally decided on Jasmines house...shhh...don't tell her...we are gonna sneak in tonight. You simply have to come join us and have a few blue drinks and share a few giggles. I'll keep my clothes on!
As for Barney...I'm not even going there!
I'm singing "You are my sunshine"...so there.
Love ya all..back to work!
Vickie0 -
Alrighty ....but just be sure to bring your'n own sears & roebuck catalog. We're low on toiletry supplies down here. Cheri, I'll run to the liberry and get you some good picture books.

Shokk - That's one of my hot buttons, too. I heard that a lot at Dad's funeral. Ticked me off big time.
I just read a great thing on how God doesn't cause cancer; biology gone bad causes cancer. I think it's on my 'puter at home. I'll look later and try to post it. It was really good.
Anne
P.S. I warned you all that I was back.0 -
Good morning all! About to run off to sons graduation, yea!! He made it through with a 3.000 gpa!!!
So just a quick post, I'll be back later, but this is for for cheri and lini (yall are a hoot), here's my worst favorite:
SLINKY SONG
What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs
and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky,
it's fun, it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun,
It's a wonderful toy.
It's fun for a girl or a boy.
Have a great day beauties.0 -
Good morning CG's - I am off today and had plans to take care of several errands after I took Miriam to day camp. Well, I got in my car and it won't start - well it turns over then dies. DH is working with his bosses today so not available and DS did not come home last night. So, stuck in the house waiting for AAA. I have no idea what it could be. Just had an oil change and new brakes last week. Lets see where my money is going this week (won't say spare money as there is none). UGH!!!
Heard from my mom. Dad may be released from the hospital on friday, but he will need to go to a skilled nursing facility. Doctor told my mother that this whole thing has been very traumatic and hard on my father. Since January, he has only been home for under two weeks!!!!
Deb - welcome back - good luck with the writing contest. Will you share your peoms with us?
Nicki - enjoy the pool - how big is it - I didn't realize that above ground pools were big enough to swim laps.
To all the other sisters, hope you are having a good day. I'm going to try to start my car again. Otherwise, its sit and wait for AAA - which they said could be up to 90 minutes. Poor Miriam is bored waiting to see if she can go to camp. Hope to be back later. Hugs, Karen in Denver0 -
NO NOT THE SLINKY SONG!
Come on you guys...I'm goin crazy with songs circling in my head here. ROFLMBO.
Karen...you should let Miriam read our last couple of pages...she wouldn't be bored then! Hope the car gets started soon and you have a better day...hugs.
Jaz...you have a library! LOL...just kidding but boy is this gonna be one wild party!0 -
hey...we can send Cheri on a skeet hunt!

Listen, my dh has a gun and he has even taught me how to use it. I see nothing wrong with wanting to shoot those nose-in-the-air holier-than-thou spouters. (PLEASE...I am really kidding) Life happens! It is how we deal with it is what matters. And on that note, as usual I feel the need to inject a little humor:

Hey gals, with all the posts I was behind on didn't have time to read and post! Love to hear how everyone is doing. I'm over the anger thing. After the whole let's change your tx thingy, and having to try and explain this to friends and family without scaring them to death. The rads onc said my other onc should have known back in Jan that I needed rads (5.2 cm tumor) and it was just cruel to let me think I didn't. So I'm still mad at them but not ANGRY. BUT I've promised myself to never allow them to make me cry ever again. A**holes! LOL
Anyhoooooooo.............BETTY dang it, with a name like Marsha and long blonde/brown hair, you do not even whisper the Brady Bunch song in my presents. HAHAHAHA
Beth, I don't know JoJo since I'm fairly new, but to be honest, I DO kinda know her since she is a BC sister. Come out JoJo, I sooooooooo want to get to know you!!
Shokk, My favorite is for someone to say "It won't be that bad, you're strong" I always think to myself, how the h*** do you know?
Why is you guys always want to Cyber Party on Wednesday night? Wednesday is BNO night! I know this young woman (25ish) who has had kinda a tough up bringing and she is just beautiful and so sweet. She works for a caterer and is use to going to big events, but always as a caterer. My girlfriend got 4 tickets to the Women of Worth Gala at the Hilton this Saturday ($100 each)and we decided to take my friend. We found her just the right cocktail dress (costume shop at the theatre) and gonna get her all dolled up. I feel so goooooood, she is soooooooooooooo excited. Will post pics. Still waiting for the pics from the NoMoCheMo party and will post those also.
Gina, watch your mail, I sent you a little something to cheer you up!
I'm thinkiing of all of you.......hugs, Marsha0 -
I've been busy hanging at the pool. I am seriously trying not to obssess any more, that doesn't mean I don't think about all of you, I do! I swim laps every hour when the life guards go on break and the kids have to get out for 10 minutes. That's when I think and pray about all of you and all the different issues in your lives.
We are planning our trip and trying to figure out which days we will be hanging around the condo. I'm thinking it will be Friday, June 29, Sunday the First and Monday the second. Marsha and anyone else in the Orlando area, you are invited to come down. We will sit by the pool, have some margaritas and maybe throw in a blue drink now and then. If you want to join us, pm me and I'll give you directions and my phone number.
I love you!!!!! (now I'm thinking the Barney song, you love me...)0 -
No please no...not the Slinky song. I had forgotten about that one.
