Whattsa matta lini? Shots no good for ya
anymore?...sorry about the anxiety...decaf is definitely a good choice, albeit a hard one I imagine. I went decaf years ago...caffeine hits me hard now...I stay away from it unless I have to stay awake and can't...
OK...my head is spinning...well, after being twisted on and off several times by Peggy and Puppy hahahaha....OMG...I left yesterday afternoon for the Yankee game and didn't get back to the Circle til now...and holy mama! I haven't laughed that hard since the last time I was, well...here hahahaha...
Oh btw, everyone...that's NOT my face...the BOD is real! Just wanted to clear that up...
Kathy, I love your idea for a party! I'm RSVP'ing now. Yes. I'm sorry hubby has to have surgery...but after he recovers, there's all the more reason for a party!
I know I'm going to miss some of our circlers, because I've got a rip-roaring headache, seriously...that head removing stuff isn't just same-day, outpatient surgery, you know....
Kristin: hope you are doing well, honey.
Carrie: geez...still praying...asmtha must be so scary...I can't even imagine...please rest and take care of yourself.
Amy: I already forgot what I wanted to say to you...Same goes for Chemosabi...
Who said I was "smart" for taking notes? NAH...quite the opposite hahaha...see the above comment, for example...(I'm not taking notes right now)....
Shel: Oh, you stay in the center as long as you need...gummy boobs and all...bring your percs...I hope you are feeling better today...
Jo: No mets! That's reason to celebrate! I'm sorry you have other problems, but it's NOT cancer! Woo hoo!
Where is Cookie/Rondab? Is she OK?
And Tina who just lost her dad? Anyone hear from her?
Tgirl, since you're so proud we're sisters, twins at that, haahaha...I think we'll have to put you up here in all your glory...you know I have the ammo...
Welcome to any new Circle Girls I didn't say "hey" to, and I had something to say to Silvergirl too. Dammit. You see? This is why I need notes...Sorry, Silver, when it comes back to me, I'll let you know...
Another gorgeous fall day in Jersey...and another busy, busy day at the Circle...
I think I'm scarred for life, however...I can't get that image out of my head...hahahaha...
Oh and btw, I didn't challenge Peggy, some of you guys did!!!
BAH! hahahah I can throw snowballs back!...Mena...xo0 -
Good Mid Morning circle girls,
I love the songs posted. James Taylor is always a favorite. I will bring my guitar down to the fire but somebody else will have to play it because my xeloda fingers cant handle it right now. Any takers?
Shel38-sorry to here about your crappy night. Men, cant live with them and well cant shoot them either.
Debbyfive-I am keeping you in my thoughts as you prepare for your surgery on Friday.
Nicki-I think you are the one that mentioned about the heartburn and constipation but lets just say xeloda makes sure that doesnt go on and leave it at that. I know TMI but its the circle and we can handle it. I also agree that we have a big party when AlaskaDeb finishes rads. We should have to go to Alaska though to give it because it would only be right. (I look for any reason to go to Alaska) Also great idea on the saving your comments as you go along. I knew you were a smarty. Now, get that resume ready and kick some A$$ at that interview. Don't make us circle girls get on you.
JoJo-I agree with the other girls, sorry to hear you are in such pain but dancing for joy that it isnt Mets. Hopefully there will be something they can do for you and the pain. Also glad you enjoy my donkey stories. Mazer the Tazer was a pistol last night as usual. I think the cool weather is effecting her. Her mom on the other hand is probably thinking it is time that she gets her own place. LOL.
Kristin-so glad to hear your chemo went well and I know whatyou mean about sitting back waiting for the sh!t to hit the fan. I did the same thing and also did it this time when I started chemo again. Not a fun feeling either but slowly you realize you are going to be normal. 1 down girl. Drink and pee,,drink and pee.
Geesh, I know I left so many out but quickly trying to check in this morning. See what happens when I dont take notes. Kinda like college when I tried to wing it at times.
Also the two of you contimplating nipples. I can only imagine what that would be like to make that decision. I am boobless so nipples arent a concern for me but just to think of another surgery, man I dont know. I was going to do recon but Hurricane Katrina had other ideas and I never rescheduled. Things happen for a reason though and it really doesnt bother me at all to be boobless. Comes in real handy when out working on the farm and dont have to worry about catching a boob in anything. OUCH! Been there done that before.
O.k. I am off to ride the circle with Lucy. She enjoys being a new girl at the circle and is trying to swap some of her teddy grahams for some of chemosabis horses apples. Giddy up Lucy, we got trails to ride and also got to ride down to be with Robin as she has her scans done.
Amy0 -
Two quick comments. For those contemplating nipples? Just had mine done last week with four other tweaks at the same time and I'd rate it right up there with getting a filling as far as surgery goes. Thought it was really no big deal one way or the other but, for me, it brought a sense of closure, as in, I'm almost done with this and can put it away forever.
Mena---the lights go out all the time with me but I blame it on the Arimidex. My SO says he can tell because one minute everybody's home and the next the porchlights go out behind my eyes! And then they come back on again---usually about 3 o'clock in the morning---and I remember EXACTLY what I was trying to say. Maybe your headache is making you forgetful!
Jeannie0 -
Mena-I'm pretty much de-boozed, too. Trying to go in to surgery healthy, healthy. No wonder I feel like crap, huh?

Carrie: Sweet Friend, I hope that you are better and are back at home again. It sounds like you had a terrible night. If anyone knows how Carrie is please check in and let us know. Carrie, keeping you in my prayers.
Nicki: Thank you as always for being there, and taking care of us all. The head massage was wonderful. BTW, I think I sounded gloomier than I meant to with the comment about "my options are limited", sorry I didn't quite mean it like that. Anyway, I hope that your appt with your PS goes well, and maybe sometimes it's best to just go with the moment. If you are in his office and that voice is still whispering in your ear to "get the nips", well go for it and get the nips, LOL. If on the other hand your gut says "no nips today", well I think that's the way to go. I know I'm no help at all, but that's how I would do it, LOL. I hope that the lump is nothing, even if surg., onc, and ps thinks it's okay, I know that it still bothers you, it would me. What is the saying.......the only good lump is a lump in a jar???? You are in my thoughts and prayers today as well.
Kristin : I'm so glad that your first chemo is behind you, and everything went so well. I think that you will find that many times you will have fun, talking with other cancer patients, they always gave me so much hope. You really do meet a lot of interesting people there. Hope that you have a great day with no side effects! You are in my prayers! Oh and thank you for the B9 cheer, and your kind words, I do appreciate you thinking of me.
Debbyfive: I am praying that you have a great day today.....NO worries, NO stress, just relaxing and enjoying your day. We are here for you, day or night. If you can't sleep, then come out of your wagon.....someone is always around for you to talk to. I want you to know that you are in my prayers, and that we will be there with you Friday.
Liz: I hope you got your commercials finished on time. Wish I could help, but as you can see, I can't write anything in less than a minute, lol. Thank you for your kindness, you never know I may take you up on it.......maybe a fireside chat one of these sleepless nights. Hope things go well with your in-laws.
Kathy: Wow, your party sounds like so much fun. I would love to come, and help you celebrate your 20th wedding anniversary and your 1 year anniversary. That is really great. I just had my 29th wedding anniversary, and my 2 year "treatment's over" anniversary. I hope that your husband will feel up to having a party, it sounds like it is something that you really look forward to every year. I hope his surgery will go well and your infection will be gone soon! You both remain in my prayers. And like Mena said consider this my RSVP too, LOL. .
Vickie: Still praying for Trenton to be found unharmed. Prayers for you and your daughter too. I know that this is heartbreaking for you both. Thank you for your encouragment, I am so thankful it's not mets.
Amy: You and your friend Dana remain in my prayers. I pray that she finds peace and comfort soon. I'm also boobless, so no worries about nipples. I agree with you though, it is so much easier not having the darn things in the way everytime you turn around. I love Mazer the Tazer, I can just see her kicking her heels up and loving life. I love it! Thank you for your kind words, I am very thankful that it's not mets as well! Oh, I love Baby James too, I couldn't get his song out of my head yesterday, so I thought I would share with you all, I was hoping that someone here would like him. I wish I could help you out with the guitar, but I have no idea how to play one, LOL, well I guess we could just gather round the campfire tonight and sing sweet Baby James songs acapella, LOL.
Mena: So glad that you had a good night, you certainly are looking great, LOL. Thank you for your kind words, I am so thankful that it's not mets, I'll be okay, I will learn to live with the pain, one day at a time. Hope that you have a great day! You are always in my prayers as well.
Deb C.: Wow, halfway done! Woo-Hoo! That's great, praying for these days to pass quickly and you can be home with your family.
Robin: We are with you today, please let us know how it went. You are in my prayers!
Peggy: ROFLMBO, Wow, I had no idea that was YOUR body! Once again you crack me!
Jeannie: I agree with Nicki three months is a LONG time to wait when you have a headache every day. I'm glad Nicki's horse Distorted Humor left the dr. a nice gooey little gift. LOL Thank you so much for telling me about your sister, that's really great news!
tgirl : Thank you for your encouragement, I will tell them only good news allowed, LOL.
NS: As always, my friend, you make the circle complete. You are always in my prayers!
For those that I left out, and I know there are some, I am sorry, it takes me forever to type, and even with notes I get lost and forget. But even if I didn't name you, everyone here in this circle is in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Love and Hugs,
JoJo0 -
Hi everyone. Another busy day here for me but wanted to check in on everyone.
Nicki, get that resume done girl! You'd be perfect for that job. I'll help you create one if you want me to. Oh, tried the Spicy V8 earlier. Not bad.
BeachCottage4Us, hope your breathing is better hon. It's so scarey when that happens. Gentle Hugs
Shel, Hope you rested well last night. I tried to keep watch over you.
JoJo, I agree with Nicki, a second opinion with a neurosurgeon might not hurt.
Kristin, How's day 2 going for you? Remember to drink and pee!
NS, I used to work for a local radio/tv station. They've asked me to write and record some public service messages for BC Awareness.
I'm making a German Chocolate Cake with Coconut Pecan frosting for everyone. I chose it because I hate coconut and therefore won't eat the thing!
I know I've missed many today. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll check in later as it's time to go to another appt. with the in-laws. Ugh.
Hugs
Liz0 -
NICKI.....what you dont have your homework finished yet...get that resume done....ok did I sound like you mom...lol...
Liz send your piece of cake to my hubby ...coconut "nut"...lol
the sun is out and thought we'd do foil lunches so we can be outside for awhile...extra blankets for those who are cold....
have new healing candles lit for all in need and prayers shouting thru the valleys..so everyone on the trail can hear...
Love MB0 -
Dropping in for a quick afternoon check to see if any word about Carrie and her asthma. I hope she is feeling better.
JoJo-Nice to know I am not the only boobless person in the circle. Not that I would care in the least though. I have several friends that can laugh and say they dont envy the treatment or diagnosis I went through but they wouldnt mind the boobs being gone. We are always joking about it especially when they have TB's (tender boobs). I always tell them I can faintly remember that feeling just to rub it in.
lini57 it might very well be the deboozing that is making you not feel so well. Just kidding and best of luck with your upcoming surgery.
MB the foil lunches were excellent. Great idea.
well so much for my short note. Just basically checking in to see how everyone is doing. I am making the afternoon rounds and shall return. Whats for dinner?
Amy0 -
Amy- Not the deboozing, definitely the caffeine. I was drinking a whole pot prior to de-caffing, went down to 1/2 pot, then 2 cups, then 1, then none. The booze is only one per evening with dinner, if that. Sometimes 2 on the weekends. Always been a cheap date when it comes to boozing. LOL!!
MB-Foil lunches? Are those the same as Hobo Packs? Ground beef patty or chicken breast covered in veges of your choice, wrapped in foil and cooked over an open flame?? Yum, my kids' favorite and easy, no dishes afterwards.
JoJo-I'm also boobless, but I really dislike it, so I won't be this way for much longer. It's been 7 months too long for me.
Liz-Honest truly that was the best German Choco that I've had in a long time. Now cut it out, cause I do like coconut and my belly can't take any more goodies.
We're still running the A/C over here in my wagon, so no blankets for me. Cleaning out the boy's closet and found all kinds of old cookies, candies, and snacks. No wonder his room was full of ants during the last heatwave. Wish me luck that I don't find any other bigger varmints in there.
Not sure what's for dinner tonight. I've been craving some of that Hot n Sour soup that Shel mentioned the other night. Maybe we'll order out.
Have a great afternoon ladies!
lini0 -
Good evening all! Just got home from work and appt with PS. My answer to him was easy, I said I dont know yet. So I see him in 2 months lol. He said the lump is definitely smaller and is probably fat necrosis. He also told me I looked cute today. Liked my new hair cut! But then again he remembers me bald.
It was a strange day here in Chicagoland (around the circle) Lini, I cant believe you are still using air condtioning! As most of you know, Chicago is right on Lake Michigan. When a cold front comes in, it comes in over the Lake. Its actually very pretty to see. Looks like mountains in the distance. So thats how my day started. While I was driving to work, I pretended they were mountains. It was cloudy, with lots of billowing grey clouds. Could almost play the game where you try and see what the clouds look like. I thought for sure I saw a grey poodle!! Anyways, the trees are definitely starting to turn colors, and there is a wind this evening. So there are leaves flying all over the place.
Ok and now this is scary. My next PS visit is the day before ThanksGiving!! OMG - before we sneeze the Holidays will be upon us. And another Holiday coming up for many of our friends. Yom Kippur. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it starts Sunday night doesnt it?
Carrie: OMG! I hope you are feeling better. Ive had asthma, I know what its like - and it aint nice. Hope you didnt get admitted. Please let us know how you are. I will have a nice steam bath going in the medic tent when your ready.
Lisa: So good to her from you. We here at the circle are gonna try and make darn sure you get the Abraxane and Avastin legs of that clinical trial.
For all of you who are going through chemo for a second or third time - man oh man - thats gotta be so hard! We here with you, for you. Whatever you need.
Lini: Oh it was so good to hear from you. So are you having the expanders put in or the exchange. You are being so good. Yes indeed, try and stay healthy. No caffeine, no alcohol, no smoking (thats if you do). We will be with you that day of surgery. I think the anxiety is normal!!
Ok! Im not done. But dinner is being served!! Shish kabobs. Will be back in a bit.
Nicki

Hi all-
Just a quick stop in before a much needed nap. I have managed for catch a nasty cold bug...so, what comes next? locusts? raining frogs? Sheesh!
I hoe everyone else is doing well. I'll try and catch up on posts after a nap.
Big old virtual hugs...It's a good thing my computer has virus protection so I can't send anyone this cold!
Deb C.0 -
Hey Wagoneers,(sp) just stopped by to say HAPPY trails to you, until we meet again!!! might have to go to hospital sooner, my blood preasure is very high, But wanted to stop and get a good meal, before i go. ( you know i gotta do this) (((((((JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL )))))))(((((HEALING LIGHT))))))))) Love ya , Puppy (aka debbyfive)
0 -
Ok! I'm back. Still have so much to say.
Deb C: Oh I told you to stay away from the tent I put my husband in. He is in Quaranteen. Darn cold. Hope you have stuff to help with all the symptoms and hope it goes away really really fast. Come on down to the medic tent. Rest, warm liquids - chicken soup!. When the rads are all done we will have such a party.
Jeannie and Mena: Im laughing cause my husband says my chemo brain is selective. I space out when I dont want to hear what he says. And, ahaha, I think he is right.
lizws: Oh my! how exciting to record public service messages for BC awareness. And German Chocolate, one of my all time favorites. Sigh! Hand me the string cheese as I see my piece of cake float by me.
PurpleMB: I know. Im just so bad and just so lazy too. Foil lunches. Hee hee hee - you do sound like a mom.
Vickie: yes it is just like high school or college. Taking notes. And I print - always have cause Im left handed and when I write I smudge things.
NS: Oh yes "SS" did make me a little unhappy to say the least. But she is a terrible actress! So why would I listen to her anyways lol.
OK! Its time to go. Just threw another log onto the fire. Keep it nice and warm here in the circle. And lini? we will just get you a fan lol.
Nicki0 -
Thanks, Nicki. You are always so thoughtful. It's 92 degrees today, so if you don't mind, I'll bring out my portable A/C. LOL!
I'm kind of teary today and that's not like me. I'm not even PMSing. I think I'm just hurting for my sisters today. Prayers to all.
lini0 -
lini: you just come on down here to the campfire and we can talk. I have an Air conditioned TeePee for you. We can roast marshmellows, listen to the sounds in the forest, and just talk about everything that has happened over the last year or 2. Its freaking amazing isnt it?
OK. Anyone with cold symptoms raise your hands right now! Scratchy throat? Little sore throat? Coughing to a tickle? This cold virus is going around. So be careful. Best prevention is wash your hands. Chemo or rads? Stay at home and avoid people when your counts are down.
Ok enough preaching.
Lini: Im waiting for you. Got lots of stories to share.
Nicki0 -
Hi ladies,
Thankyou so very much ! Nicki maybe that is what has set me off ? Got home around 2am after a loading dose of steroids and 2 more breathing treatments chest xray shows nothing but they are treating me for pneumonia incase. I go see my gp tommorow I am laying around sleeping drinking tons of water, I have (no fever) taking predisone some codine cough syrup and Z pack and I feel like crapola ! lol
Thank you so much as soon as I am doing better I will be by to catch up .
hugs&love
Carrie0 -
Puppy....only good thoughts and we are only accepting good results, nothing bad....
Alaska Deb...I know how lousy a cold is this early in the season. Mine really wiped me out last week. Take it easy please.
Picking out my outfits for Martha tomorrow...
Love to all.xoxo0 -
Evening girls, Am going to snuggle in by the fire as a cold front is coming in and I'm getting cool. Also avoid me because I think I may have gotten too close to the quarantine tent that Nicki put her hubby in. Sore throat, headache, earache, blah blah blah. Hoping it's allergies.
JoJo, no commercials written yet LOL I can't seem to write anything under a minute either. I think I'm going to record the basic info for the public announcement commercials and then go do a live morning radio talk show to go into more info.
MB, your hubby can have as much cake as he likes. I love foil lunches they were wonderful! I haven't had those in years.
Lini, thank you for the compliment on the cake. So does this mean you won't eat my special banana walnut cake with cream cheese frosting? I've been kinda teary this week too. Not sure why. We'll huddle up together and get it out of our systems.
Carrie, hope you're doing better this evening and let us know what your doc says tomorrow.
Debbyfive, oh my girl! Be sure to let us know if you have to be admitted early so we can load up and head your way. We're here for you.
Nicki, I may need to visit you in the tent for some nice chicken soup. Hoping this is just allergies. Hmmmm could it have been that spicy V8 I drank? LOL In all honesty it was pretty good.
All you girls who are going to the Martha Stewart show tomorrow have a great time! I don't normally watch her show but definetely will when you guys are on it. Be sure to let us know when it's going to air.
I'm going to throw another log on the fire and get a nice cup of tea. I'll be keeping watch and will be here for whoever needs me.
Hugs to you all
Liz0 -
Okay, Peggy needs to go into the middle of the circle...well, not so much the middle, but maybe just inside the outer edge with a nice chocolate bar & a flipping ice pack??
I started my tamox on Sept 1, I started ovarian suppression on Aug 26...I am sleep deprived...I am having so many hot flashes at night I'm awake all night...I have headaches all day every day (I'm sure because of lack of sleep) and my job is SO RAT FINKING STRESSFUL and BUSY right now I don't have time to breathe.
Okay, so I called my onc today and she's given me a script for Effexor. I'm hoping this will help because I am at my wit's end. Any words of advice?? And if someone tells me that I need to get used to it I will throw myself in front of an oncoming train.
End of story!
Hugs
Peggy
PS: And I hate whining & complaining so it took me a long time to finally do this LOL.0 -
today i made a soft and cuddly blanket for my tbytes...
she fights the beast so hard! and the beast continues to play havoc on her...
her family loves her, and she fights on...
she sleeps peacefully, so protected and cuddled and loved in my wagon...god, find her cure!
my dear tbytes....
ssssssssssoooooo in the inner circle are you with lots of love and light...
peacefully, llp0 -
peggy,
breathing is EVERYTHING...quite possibly
this is a time in your life when you need to just focus on your GETTING THROUGH THE DAY PEACEFULLY
nothing more...
i got the tapes and will gladly send them to you via snail mail or i-tunes files...
time to heal this!0 -
Peggy there is an articale at www.webmd.com/content/artical/127/116710.htm about rubarb extract for hot flashes. you might want to check it out I know I'm going to.
Sorry I don't know howe to make it a link.
PT put me through the wringer again today then this evening I went to message theraoy and boy did she find some spots, most of my back and buttock, that plain out hurt.
Hubby is trying to detox again and that makes him a grouch to be around.
Going to the Komen Bruch is a few weeks with amny of the gals that went to the retreat and some that are members of BC.org. Can't wait to see them.
The new grand baby should be here in a few weeks too! So it will be exciting around here.0 -
Good evening sisters! Just sitting here listening to the wind blow tonight - hope it isn't rattling your wagons too bad! It's definitely cooling off, so hope all y'all have some cozy blankets.
Debbyfive - let us know what's happenin, ok? Thinking of you!
Aah Peggy - don't worry about whining - that's what we're here for. Wish I had advice for you. (Loved your breakfast recipe on the other thread by the way!)
Liz - I hope too it's just allergies - but take care, maybe the chicken soup will help.
Kristen - good to hear chemo was ok, but where are you now? Has anyone heard?
For everyone I didn't mention specifically, please know that I think of all you gals every day and keep you in thoughts & prayers.
Sorry I haven't been around much - work is pretty busy & stressful these days. Oct. 15th is the last tax deadline for individual tax returns you know!
Doug & I are going camping this weekend - just a couple nights, but hopefully we can enjoy some peace & quiet, no stress, etc. Will think of all y'all everytime I put a log on the fire.
G'night all! Ronda / Cookie0 -
Cookie! We've been waiting for you...hollering thru the hills for you...I guess you heard the echos...happy to see you!
I am so sad after reading tbytes' post...can we please put her in our Circle Center and give her absolutely anything she wants? She said her onc said, she "should be here for Christmas"...
Imagine hearing that...I'm just crying...
Peggy, I'm coming with you to the Center...need some emotional rescue...but I'm bringing the A/C because (a) I'm still using it with the humidity and (b) you need it for your hot flashes -- btw, get used to it hahahaha....Hopefully, the Effexor will help...it does suck, Peggy...
Seriously, I'm also bringing to the Center Debby5 (with Jesus and His Wheel), my bc friend from here Deb, whose daughter, Sherri, was just dx'd with bc...let's see...AlaskaDeb needs TLC...Carrie...lini...Lisa40 (triple neg Lisa)...anyone I forgot? (not taking notes)...come along...It's after 1 am and time to bunk down for the night...Mena...xo0 -
I'm wired on Sudafed, so I thought I would sit and poke the fire for a few...
Anybody know some good jokes?? I'm tired of being sad. I need a good laugh to chase the boogie-men away tonight. Being away from home just goes to show me how much my family means to me. I miss them like crazy. My defenses are down to begin with, and top it off with a cold and other people's sad news and I'm a mess. Cryin in my hot chocolate is getting me nowhere, so lets look for a good laugh ladies I dont know about you all, but I need one.
Deb C.0 -
Hi Deb...I'm still up, but I can never remember jokes...and I wanted to share with you that when I had rads back in 2000, I went into a real funk. I just got sick and tired and wouldn't show up for rads. They'd call and coax me in...I don't think the public understands the toll rads takes on the body...and mind...hang on...we have you in the Center getting extra TLC...
Geesh! Where's Peggy when you need her? Or NS, or one of the girls that always cracks a good one...
Well, Deb, it is 2:10 am EST...so I imagine most are sleeping...try to rest...if I think of a joke I can actually remember, I'll be back...Mena...xo0 -
Deb I am up too here is one for you and I and our coughing.......
Outside a chemist in a busy street, a poor man is clutching onto a pole for dear life, not breathing, not moving, not twitching a muscle, just standing there, frozen.
The pharmacist, seeing this strange sight in front of his shop, goes up to his assistant and asks, "What's the matter with that guy? Wasn't he in here earlier?"
Assistant replies, "Yes he was. He had the most terrible cough and none of my prescriptions seemed to help."
Pharmacist says, "He seems to be fine now."
Assistant replies, "Sure, he does. I gave him a box of the strongest laxatives on the market...
hugs,
Carrie0 -
Hi Deb,
I hope that you are asleep now and resting well. I just saw that you were feeling kind of down and wanted some jokes. I quickly found a few, I don't know if they'll make you laugh or not, but just in case your still up and needing some jokes I'm gonna post what I found.
Love and Hugs,
JoJo
Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year.
Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs
ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 81
years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get
another chance." Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs
ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll
take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire
ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one
word, it's ten dollars."
Fred and Edna agreed and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of
twists And turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does
all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the
pilot turns to Fred, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to
get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Fred replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Edna fell out, but
ten dollars is ten dollars."
-----------------------------------
The Email
A couple from Michigan, who were both in marketing, decided to go to
Florida to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to
stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of their hectic travel and work schedules, it was
difficult to coordinate their flight schedules. So, the husband left
Detroit and flew to Miami on Thursday,
with his wife flying down from Chicago the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was
a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and
without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile.....
somewhere in Alabama, a widow had just returned home from her husband's
funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory
following a sudden heart attack.
The widow decided to check her e-mail,
expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first
message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his
mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
From: Your Husband
Sent: Thurs, 3/1/2006 5:45 PM
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived

Obedient Wife
There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money,
and was a real miser when it came to his money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take
all my money and put it in casket with me.
I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he
died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her.
When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the
wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. So her
friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in
there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied," Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my
word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with
him." You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account
and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage,he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to
secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back.
He would then arrange for child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. "Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today." "Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it " he said. The wife obeyed,and
watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written:
"Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
Two with meatballs, one without."0 -
okay one more then back to bed ...
There was once a very prim and proper older lady who had a problem with passing gas. Since she came from a generation when people didn't even talk about this kind of problem it took a long time for her to seek help. Finally, however, she was persuaded to consult her family doctor.
After she filled out all the proper forms and had waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room the doctor called her into his office, leaned back in his chair, folded his hands into a steeple and asked her how he could help.
"Doctor," she said, "I have a very bad gas problem."
"A gas problem?" replied the doctor.
"Yes. Yesterday afternoon, I had lunch with the Secretary of State and his wife and had six, um, er, ahhh...silent gas emissions. Last night, I had dinner with the governor and his wife and had (BLUSH) four silent gas emissions. Then, while sitting here talking to you ,I have had five silent gas emissions! Doctor, you've got to help me! What can we do?"
"Well," said the doctor thoughtfully, "I think the first thing we're going to do is give you a hearing test."
