    We could call ourselves the "boobless express" and have an rv "train" going down the highway.......like the "airstream full timers" traveling along the coast sipping wine and pina coladas.....not worrying what we look like and if our fake boobs have exploded.....going slow and going "flat".......not caring what our hair looks like or even if we have hair doesn't matter.......makeup is optional......freash sea air and sun kiss cheeks is all we need to look beautiful.......just daydreaming ladies....ok will return........

    Maybe you could arrange to have your ex and youngest meet somewhere away from the house and the oldest daughter. Maybe a movie or such.

    OK, Shokk, I'll bring the wine (not the whine, lol). We can kick back and have a drink and forget about all the rain you've had . Sometimes we just need to escape life for a little while.

    I am just kind of skipping around, reading here and there on the pages and pages I missed.

    Shirely - They used to call me "Col-leenie Bean", string bean, you name it. I never understood why folks think it's OK to walk up to someone and say "You're so skinny I hate you" (I have heard that my whole life too) when you would never in a million years walk up to someone and say, "Gee you're fat!" I understand that it's not the same thing, and goodness knows now it's very desireable to be emaciated thin, but it wasn't when I was growing up. I had to buy my clothes in the boys department, nothing ever fit me and wearing a bathing suit was a nightmare. I'm 5'8" to boot, with abnormally long arms and legs, so I look like some sort of freak. Anyway, I'm not sure what came before it, but your post brought back a lot of memories! The two worst things I ever did were: 1. In college, when I walked by 2 girls and the one said to the other, "she's so skinny, she's too skinny, I wouldn't want to be that skinny" when I was all of 3 feet away from her, I turned around, looked her up and down, and said, "I don't think you need to worry about it." 2. In the dressing room (remember the dreaded group dressing rooms?) a woman said, "you're so skinny, do you ever eat?" I said, "I have cancer" (I know, that was just horrible and mean, but I was in my early twenties and I kind of just lost it!)

    Gina - I had terrible, terrible pain from the taxol. I think I remember that you can't take the pain meds, is there anything else they can try to do? I know the majority just have some minor bone pain, but mine was debilitating. I'm so sorry you're having the same bad reaction. Stupid freaking cancer!

    SoCalLisa - I'm so sorry to hear about your bracelet, I hope there is a post I didn't see that says you found it.

    Vicki - Is Nate OK? I saw some posts about a bee sting or spider bite?

    Peter - So glad to see that you've jumped right in. I enjoy reading your posts.

    Did something happen to Mena? I hope not, I hope you are feeling well.

    Nicki - glad to hear you've been swimming away!

    Amy - Haven't seen anything in the posts, but I'm hoping your Dad is doing well.

    shokk - Sounds like you're having trouble with your daughter and ex! I'm sorry and you are so right. They need to stop focusing on what they're trying to do to each other and think about you. You don't need this. I hope they get some sense knocked into them.

    Deb - Saw something about you being sad, but now I can't remember about what? I hope you're feeling better. When we checked in for our flight in Charlotte (I think?) we were next to the Alaska Airways ticket counter and I thought of you and smiled.

    OK, scared I'm going to lose this so I'm going to run

    Love to all, will continue to catch up (Warren is with his Dad and I have no plans for the 4th but to unpack, do laundry and then re-pack as we leave early Thursday AM for our family reunion in Grafton, Il.) I can't even remember who I said we'd meet up with, but now we are flying in and heading right up to the Pere Marquette Lodge to the reunion so there will be no time.

    Hi all!
    I've got alot of reading to do, may need some cliff notes! We had a great time at the African Safari yesterday........got a few pics to share, but for now here is my favorite!! All the animals were loose and we even had a huge elk poke his head in the window by my SIL and steal a cup out of the cup holder in the middle of the car!!
    Hugs,

    Afternoon ladies. Well that mammo was fun. She took about a gazillion pictures. Kept coming back in the room and saying just one more, haven't quite got the whole scar included. I guess I should be thankful she took the time and I won't get a call back. Those are way to stressful. But holy smokes. I just don't bend like I used to. Worked a bit in the yard this morning before it got hot. In about 200 years the place should be all spruced up.

    Charlene, thank goodness there was no decorating. My middle kidlet used to do that all the time. YUCK! Hmmmm maybe thats why he has so many issues now. hahahahha Actually he seems to be doing well. Came over just to hang out for the day with his old mom yesterday. Had him do some heavy lifting that me and the manperson can't do then he took a snooze on the couch.

    Welcome home Colleen. You know I gotta say to all my skinny girls. We rock!!! I guess I'm also glad I'm not tall. Tho I have always wanted to reach the second shelf in the kitchen cupboards. Solved that problem, by not putting in upper cabinets when we remodeled. Just have a lovely shelf that is at the perfect height. I used to have to do the boys department to. And how scary is this....I wore a girls size 8 till I was 14 and got stung by a bee.
    I never think of anything good to say when I get silly comments.

    Robin, gentle hugs for you my dear. Can't you call your doc and ask for a referral. You've been waiting and hurting for far to long.

    OK girls, fess up. We all look just as much as the guys do.

    MB, I think I would just stay home.

    Socal, only going out there in the morning and evening. I would get heat stroke trying to swing a pickaxe in this heat. Shhhh don't tell my doc I'm swinging a pickaxe. Actually I'm pretty impressed that I can even pick the darn thing up. Looked at tillers today. Yikes they are expensive. So the pickaxe and shovel is what it has to be.

    Liz, one of my life mottos is....Just say NO to wallpaper!

    Deb, I will never understnad the trend of addressing social issues (for lack of a better word) in cartoons. I just wanna see Lucy being mean to Charlie Brown and Calvin doing something utterly ridiculous. Hobbes is my hero.

    Theresa enjoy your clean house.

    Nicki, your gonna be ready for the Olympics by summers end. Good for you.

    Iris, O my, my yard is anything but lovely. When it's not so flippin hot out there I will go take a pic to show you just how unlovely it is. Haven't had the energy for even clean up for years. There is 3 years worth of dead weeds and oak leaves out there.

    Wow Puppy, I wanna live in that motorhome.

    Denise, HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA. Sure hope those critters don't bite. I see your llama.

    It's a beautiful day Peter. I left tylenol by your wagon door.

    Shokk, I saved you for last. Me thinks my dear you need to use the Cancer Card. Tell both of them that you can not handle the stress they create in your life and to take their problems elsewhere cause you will not listen to it anymore. Shame on both of them. On the other hand, daddy needs to be the one to swallow his pride, suck it up and make nice to his daughter. She may make his life miserable but he broke her trust and needs to regain it.

    Off to see the wizard. See ya later.

    OK, feeling slightly worried about my skinny rant. Not complaining, and obviously I realize that there are many more people, especially women once you hit 40, who struggle not to gain weight. Hope I didn't offend anyone. It's just one of those "grass is greener" things.

    OK, going to read now and see if anyone said, "oh boo hoo!" to me LOL

    Phew! No offense taken!

    Shirley - All my life I have wanted to be one of those delicate little girly girls. Like I said, if I was born 20 years later, I would have been considered very attractive - fairly tall and really skinny. I would have been sporting those low-rise jeans and belly tops, and would have been all over the belly ring I'm sure. But (poor me, smile) I was just the John Boy Walton of my high school in female form! LOL

    Denise - oh my! those are some pictures!!!

    Don't worry Colleen. I used to be one of those skinny girls until chemo and chemopause. It's all good!

    It only bothers me if people start telling me I'm fat now because I'm lazy, not exercising enough and/or overeating. I'm walking 3 times a week on the treadmills at the community center and trying to keep to WW flex of 20 points a day. That's the only time it bothers me.

    Hi everyone - I'm too tired to post. My fingers even hurt. Yes Shir - NO to wallpaper. It's almost all gone now and we cut the rest of the floor out. Still have to replace a few main boards. I am so ready for Pinkstock!!!!! Calgon take me away. LOL

    shokk - stop by here and pick me up. I am ready to hit the road.

    I'm going to try to go read the rest and going to bed.

    Hugs and Prayers to you all.
    Liz
