    Morning girls. I'm still in my pissy funk but all I need is to come here and see what funk really is when our sisters are going through such troubled times. So I'm putting on my big girl panties and will stop whining in my pity party for no reason.

    Margaret...I live in South Jersey about 5 miles outside of Philadelphia. Everyone rips New Jersey but when you think about it, we have everything.(yes even highways)
    We have the ocean and some of the best beaches in the country and maybe world, Atlantic City for gamblers and entertainment, Philadelphia and New York is only a car ride away. We have mountains to hike and beautiful rivers to kayake. We get warm summers and cold winters with snow and skiing. I guess I'm sticking up for my state, but I love it here.

    I'm on the carpet for our sisters with Mazer driving. I have a Kevin for a son, so I'm praying for yours.xoxo

    Must go but will check in later. If I sound nasty, please excuse me. xoxo Love to all.

    Jankay, I haven't spent much time in the chats recently. Last I heard from Mike was that jen43 was doing really well! That she was recovering well from surgery. What happened?

    Geez, what a fighter, and a lovely lovely person, my heart goes out to Mike and family.

    Jen had a major stroke, got better and then had another series of strokes. My sympathies are with her family. May she be free from pain now.

    Tricia, congrats on getting the drains out.

    Karen and Nicki, mom had to have another access port put in for her dialysis. This time they put it in her groin. Hopefully, this lasts longer than the others have. She's running out of places for insertion.

    Betty, you were up early this am. And Silka too - pass the coffee please.

    Wow, I'm watching the flooding in Texas. That poor mother whose daughter was swept out of her arms....so sad.

    Cheri, don't forget to pick me up.

    Theresa, I went to Jersey for the first time this past Nov. and the weather was perfect. My husband said he could even deal with the snow. Then we found out about the property taxes so that did it for him. We're staying in CA and will just visit my sister. She has moved into her new house so I'll be going back to visit her since we helped her pick out her floors, granite, cabinets, etc., and we want to see the results.

    I'll catch up with everyone later.

    Ok I just had to sneek in at work and posat this. One of my co-workers and a dear friend was telling me about one of her friendss in another state who was dxed and will be facing 18 months of chemo. I said that that was a long time and she asked how long I had chemo. I told her 4 rounds and about three months. She goes, "Oh my and look what it's done to you!" I just howled. She felt bad, but it was just so funny to me. I'm still laughing. Have to otherwise I'd just put my head down and cry.

    Morning girls,

    I missed the magic carpet again. I just couldn't drag my jiggly butt out of bed today. I'll be checking back for any news though.

    Got the DS home safe and sound. Today I have to call BCBS about my FIL's insurance. I so hate talking to insurance companies. If you hear a large bang - it will be me.

    Hugs and Prayers to you all.

    Good Morning CG's

    Never made it back on yesterday as I left at 1 for the lovely herceptin/zometa treatment.

    This morning they ran the light down dads throat to look at the valve and it is calified so it will have to be replaced also if he chooses to go for open heart again. Right now they are concentrating on getting him stronger so we shall see. They will send him home to get stronger and hopefully it will work.

    Shokk-you all are having awful weather. I was watching the news as I was getting ready this morning and thought of you.

    Cheri-Mazer left me this morning so ya'll dont forget to swing back by and pick me up. She was so afraid you couldnt drive without her and she was really worried that Bubba might try to move in and take her spot.

    I didnt know Jan in chat but thats just awful.

    Betty-that could go down as one of those stupid things people say. Glad you laughed about it,,sure beats crying.

    Vickie-glad your pool is up and running.

    Beth-your pool looks very inviting.

    adrionna-the picture of the dryer was perfect. It looks like something I would do but only after the duct tape quit holding it.

    Biker-wow you turning in early? I said I was going to last night but as usual I didnt. I am going to try it tonight though and hopefully I will make it. Early meaning about 10.

    I shall return but got some paperwork to finish up. I am tired of seeing it on my desk.

    Thanks to everyone that has asked and thought of my dad.

    Denise..don't get that foot stuck in the door...

    Margaret..you must still be under Prop 13 in CA for the taxes..I am sure glad we still are...

    shokk..a 79 year old doing birth control??? wow that is a good one..you stay safe from that weather..I saw some rescues on the news last night.

    Liz good luck on the phone today..I just hate that..one time I had a very hoarse voice and sounded like a guy..I got sooo much more accomplished then...sorry state of affairs..

    Amy, Mazur has no need to worry about Bubba trying to take over his seat. Bubba is happy to ride "shotgun" as he is the one that will take on the front desk b*t**es and any others giving the CG's a hard time. Ahhhhh our own little attack dog, isn't that sweet? LOL

    Morning ladies. I'm just devasted that Jen lost her fight. I've got such a lump in my throat I can hardly type.She was my only real 'friend' in chat. I mean all the girls are fine but Jenny and I clicked. She'd sometimes PM me in the middle of the night and we'd meet in chat. We started going into the chat room nobody used. We called it the Cabana Room complete with Cabana Boys, we could lay outside of it and listen to the ocean while we drank our Cyber drinks and Jen always got her toenails painted. We joked and laughed at life in general. She was wonderful. Intelligent, charming, kind and had a great sense of humor.

    She and her husband, Mike, had only been married 5 years and they were truly crazy about each other. They were like newlyweds. She'd been through so many health issues and he'd stood right by her. She loved him so.

    After they went to Amsterdam for her transplants, Mike would sometimes PM me. At times he'd be up and excited about her progress and other times he'd need cheering up.

    I always thought she'd beat it, that she'd pull through. She was such a fighter and had to go through so many health issues before she passed. It just wasn't fair. She was 44 yrs old with 2 kids still at home.

    I never met her in person. But I'm just as devastated as any friend would be, we make some strong ties on here. I know people thought we were crazy that came in to our Cabana Room. But it was our way of forgetting.

    Jenny will be sadly missed.

    OK…I don’t know how I missed it..But I didn’t get to see Bubba! Can someone repost the photo??? I get the feeling I’m missing a good one

    SoCalLisa – I loved your photos of Maine. It is somewhere I really want to visit.

    Marsha – I am handing you some magical sunscreen…Just be careful letting Bubba or Mazer rub it in….

    Amy – Sounds like Dad IS getting stronger. Hope you are taking care of YOU too….hugs

    Hi Madison, Liz, Karen, Margaret and Puppy…love ya

    Shokk – Your birth control joke cracked me up. Sounds like things are looking up…sending you hugs. Pass one on to Dad

    Betty – I’m glad you could laugh at the silly comment. It’s funny…sometimes things like that made me laugh, sometime I got mad. Laughing is better. Just remember YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL DAMN IT!! Especially when you laugh.

    Vickie – glad the car is working and you are back in the cool air at work.

    Sorry to hear about Jan from chat. I didn’t know her, but it still makes me sad….prayers for her family. Thanks for passing on the news though JanKay

    Theresa – I am sending you a big old sloppy kiss and a huge hug. I have spent many of days in “pissy land”. I get it. Here is the good news…It always manages to get better. Don’t beat yourself up over it. All any of us can do is deal with where we are right now, and try and move forward from there. By the way, I have never visited Jersey, but your description makes me want to

    Still praying for Joyce and Kevin.

    I need to go refresh the coffee. I actually pulled an all-nighter last night…only in Alaska in June, that is a little different…LOL The sun set at about 11:30 while I was cleaning the kitchen and it got semi-dark. By the time I finally go my butt up to bed at 1:30, the sun was peeking back up. So, really all I did was go to bed really late…but pulling an all-nighter sounds way cooler I am such a dork

    OK…out of time this morning. I have to get ready for a big camping trip starting Thursday morning. I swear getting ready is such a pain!

    Hugs to everyone I missed

    DMDeb...I would never be able to figure out Alaska...

    So very sorry about losing another one of our sisters. This war against cancer is taking too many fine soldiers....

    Marsha...I have Ted if we need more help. He just doesn't play well with others on 4 legs. But he's a great kisser and tails always wagging for anyone who'll pay attention to him.

    Amy... sounds good that Dad is doing alittle better.

    Sending hugs to Kevin and our other health problems this beautiful but HOT day.xoxoxo Love to all.

    I am so sorry to hear when someone from the boards passes. I didn't know her, but I know some of you did.

    Tried on swimsuits today. I forget how middle heavy I am until I look in that mirror, very depressing. My 15 year old kept calling me to hurry home so I had to make a quick decision. Probably just as well.

    Don't really have much to say, but that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you, especially those of you facing new challenges. Even some of the every day challenges need prayers, too. Some have said that they don't think their problems are as big as what others go through. I feel that way sometimes, too, but that's what it's all about, sharing good, bad, big and little things. I love hearing stories about your lives, and hope I don't bore too many of you with mine! We are a sisterhood, one that means more to me every day.

    BTW, as far a merry-go-round vs roller-coaster people: my merry-go-round slips out of its circle once in awhile and finds the roller coaster track! I agree with Cheri that we are all probably both, but I think we tend to identify with one more than the other most of the time.

    good afternoon ladies...just popping in quick. We are under severe thunderstorm alerts here so if I should disappear check Shokk's closet. Seriously though, they are talking 60 mile per hour winds, nickle sized hail, dangerous lightning...the works. Usually in such cases we lose power.
    MB...I would love to tattoo my scars...I think...it's something I can't seem to make up my mind about. I go back and forth!
    Margaret...thank you for the Gina update...just wondering about the new lump and worrying as usual.
    Well...remember Panny...she went today and got her mammogram...no breast cancer found...THANK GOD! I was really worried about her, she told her husband and he went with her, they did an ultrasound too as her doctor said he thought it was fibrous tissue and they wanted to make sure. She sounds like a different women this afternoon.

    Have a sinus headache...too much heat and humidity...yeech...better than snow though LOL. Gonna take some excedrine and fix dinner and be back in a while.
    Love and hugs all around.

    Good Evening Everyone: For some reason getting onto this site tonight was hard. Everything is taking along time. OH well. Storms yesterday, beautiful day today at 80 degrees and low humidity. It felt good after that long, no rain, high humidity heat spell.

    I dont have much time to post. Im sorry to hear about Jen. I dont go on the chat very much anymore, but I was on the chat the day after she had her transplants and everyone was so relieved. Sad Sad Sad!

    I will try to catch up in the morning - that is if I dont wake up late again.
