    Good Morning Everyone!  Well things are indeed starting to look better here on the boards.  I couldnt log in most of the day yesterday. 

    DH came home from playing at a pub and again I woke up at 3:30 and spent some time talking with him.  Of course then could not fall back asleep again.  I have two new grand Nephews.  Henry and Ethan - both weighed 5 pounds and despite coming to this world 4 weeks early - they are doing just great.

    My only plan for the day it to finially go get a manicure and pedicure.  Besides that, its just gonna be another relaxing day.

    Taking my morning walk around the perimeter of the circle. Its still dark out, like midnight.  The sun hasnt begun to even peak its head to start a new day.  And its so quiet.  No birds chirping.  No crickets or frogs singing.  Just quiet.  Its a clear sky and you can see lots of stars.  Most everyone is sleeping.  I know some have been tossing and turning - but most of you are sleeping soundly now.  There is a foggy mist - so the ground is wet with dew.  None of you can hear me walking.  Thats how quiet it is.

    Just put more logs on the fire.  Coffee is done and Im just sitting here contemplating about what a wonderful day this should be.  Waiting for each of you to wake up - one by one.  Its been stressful the last couple of days so I will be looking for you, wiping the sleep from your eyes and walking over to sit with me, sipping your coffee and sharing our first thoughts of this new morning.  This new day. 

    Jenni:  Of course you are a circle girl.  Besides, you have already pulled up a wagon.  Good to see you posting. Laughing

    Silvergirl:  Its been very hard the last 3 days.  If it were not for the other site NS set up for us until things got straightened out here - I would be a basket case. Surprised

    Wild/Jan:  Well it is a good thing DH took the car.  Besides, isnt he supposed to be careful riding his bike cause of his leg?  I love getting Season DVD's also - but my tastes are different that most of you.  I love the Soprano's, Deadwood, and John From Cincinatti.  Could watch them over and over and over. Tongue out

    Liz:  I just love football season.  I smiled when I heard your DH was having fun in the garage.  That was a healthy reprieve for him after everything that has happened. Wink

    Sherloc:  Spores are very bad.  I remember that from microbiology.  Since you already have an infection from these stupid bats - you need to stay away totally.  I do feel sorry for you DH though.  Cant imagine having to clean up that mess.   I cant believe in this day and age - we could still get into a predicament like this.  Seems like the government agencies should be able to help. November is only 2 months away! Undecided 

    BMD:  I love football season.  Big game today for both of us.  Da Bears against the Chargers.  Im Italian and first generation here - as a result I am very superstitious.  Im good at reading Taro cards, but no nothing about interpreting dreams.  I do believe our dreams are a release for our inner most thoughts and fears.  Its amazing what this journey has done to so many of us.  Finicially before my dx I was not rich, but was enjoying life.  Now the bills still hound me.  My biggest fear was losing my house - but we have managed.  Have a second mortgage and so in debt with credit cards to pay the hospital bills.  So thats my inexperienced interpretation.  Surprised

    Vickie:  Wally world and then mowing the grass - sounds like you had a pretty active day.Smile

    Jasmine: Im so glad your back.  Just love reading your posts. Foot in mouth

    Sheri:  Finially I got to read the whole story as to what is going on.  I cant imagine going to the embassy is a bad thing.  I thought that is where we are Americans can go to seek help.  You need to get him back home now, and I dont think I would ever let him go back there.  Your student sounds like a troubled child - sure hope both she and her parents can get some help. Frown

    Neese:  Hiya.  We still keep missing each other, yet I feel like I have been talking to you all day. Innocent

    Shel  I think we were all talking like usualy until the changes to the boards came.  They are working very hard to get it up, but its been hard to even get on the site - so forget about talking about stuff.  Im just glad I got on here this morning.  My goodness, you travel to the keys so much - you should really move there and find a nice nursing job with alot less stress. Laughing

    Colleen:  Man I sure miss you.  You must check out the other site, it will at least get you through until the boards get straightened out. Wink

    Peter:  Good night to you my friend.  Have pleasant dreams. Kiss

    NS:  Just saying hello.  Distorted Humor and I are going for a ride this morning.  Nothing like seeing a race horse running when the ground is misty.  I forgot to mention to you - big congratulations to your sister for getting that job.  I have my interview tomorrow.  Not worried about it one bit - more worried that I will make the right decisions.

    It will soon be time to start breakfast.  Biscuits and gravy, french toast. canadian bacon, and a bowl of cereal for sherloc.  Of course since Im watching my triglycerides now - I will be having a bowl of cheerios with fresh strawberries.

    See ya all later.

    Nicki: Oh, I still feel like these are bowling balls on me!  They're still pretty hard and tight.  Painful.   It'll take a few days to start to soften.  Seems more painful with each fill, but I have my chemicals to get me through!  I'm glad you sound in such a good mood today!  Enjoy that pedicure and manicure!  You so deserve it!

    Good morning campers!  Things are looking up around here and they say more fixes will be implemented Monday.  So let's keep your chin up, maintain a stiff upper lip, self medicate, or just whatever gets you through the rough times. ;)

    Nicki -- good morning to you.  I think next year, I'm going to plant some flowers in my yard.  Can you believe I've had my own patch of earth for 12 years now and have never tried to do any of that stuff?  I'm such a slug.  However, the silk flowers on my mantle are doing grand.

    Angel -- I remember being so glad to get the expander out after it was filled all the way but I really didn't have alot of pain.  It was just uncomfortable more than anything.

    Cheri -- I haven't seen you all day.  I hope you were just getting some much needed sleep yesterday.  You were missed. 

    Shel -- I see someone provided the link to Gina's new place.  Its a really 'happenin' hangout.  Give it a go!  Yes, I bet it was quite a shock for those who haven't posted in a bit to come back to this but they really are listening and working very hard to get things back to normal and add in the features that we have come to rely on.

    Sheri -- I hope you got some rest last night.  One crisis solved and hopefully the other soon to be resolved next week.  I know your chickadee will be home safe and sound by this time next week.  Big hugs.

    Liz -- how are you feeling today?  I hope you managed to eat something. 

    Cy -- it was lovely chatting with you the other day.  You are always in our thoughts and prayers.  Its good that they will be getting you some help at work.

    Nosurrender -- thank you so much for setting up a 'home away from home' for all of us to camp out while BCO is working their fingers to the bone to redecorate.   Its been a true life saver.  

    For those who haven't checked it out yet, its a cool place to keep in touch and have some fun while we wait for BCO to work out the kinks. 

    Well, going to run for a bit.  Hugs, drugs, and pj's to everyone from A to Z.

    Hi everyone.  Wishing you a good Sunday.  Just want to let you know, I may not be back for a while.  I'm tired of all the issues with these boards and frankly don't need the added stress.  I deal with tech issues all day at work.  The last thing I want to do is come here and deal with similar issues.  Sad...we seem to have lost the support and caringness on these boards, at least for now.  Grrrrrrrr.

    Take care friends.  Love and hugs to all.

    NIKI>I have the first season of the Sopranos! I wanted to see it and it finally made sense of some of the stuff that went on in later seasons that I was able to catch on the dish when we had it. We watched Deadwood too, caught the last season on DVD from the video store. The Wire and Carneval were good ones. Just makes me sick the price of those particular DVDS though.

    GINA>this website did have a survey up in the forums not long ago for anyone to participate if they wanted,  about what you liked/disliked about this website and what did you think of such and such. (chemo brain!) I believe they said then they were going to make some changes. One thing I'm glad they didn't do was call this Breast Health instead of Breast Cancer.org! It was one of the questions. I felt if someone had breast cancer they aren't going to do a search under Breast Health to find info!

      ODALYS>sorry you aren't able to deal with the change here. I do think they are trying very hard to make the majority of us happy with the new changes by fixing things. They made this announcement about the changes... http://community.breastcancer.org/topic/93/conversation/691892

    Good Morning Friends. I see were just as cumbersome as yesterday. Nothing planned for the day. Gotta rest up for my marathon doctor week from hell. Well not really, it's only tests on monday, labs on thurs, onc on friday. Hmmmmm think I'll get the labs done monday as well. Save me a trip up the hill. I am throwing in a day for getting my hair done.

    Rental home, I love it. Gina you've been working your fingers off over there. Looks fabulous.

    Denise, sniff sniff I didn't get to go to PinkStock. Pray tell what the lizard means?

    Shel, gynormous indeed, but o so much better than the thumbalina font they started out with. I wanna go to the keys with you. Can I pretty please.

    Hi Colleen

    Happy Evening Peter.

    Nicki, A hearty welcome to the world Henry and Ethan. 5lbs is a good size for twin premies isn't it?

    Spores are bad......Have posted that memo on the fridge. hahahah I feel only a little bad for him. The problem should have been dealt with when we moved in 8 years ago. Got rid of the mice, rats, rattlers and skunk under the house. The bats should have gone too.

    I have all appendages crossed for your interview tomorrow. Praying it's the perfect job. More pay, less work.

    Good Morning Charlene, that pic is so cute.

    Jaz, slugs live in the garden so therefore you can not be a slug. I'm right there with you on the nongardening couch.

    Odalys, please come over to Ginas rental. Don't leave us. You would be sorely missed.

    Wishing everyone a fantabulous Sunday. I'll catch you all over at Ginas house. I can deal with all the odd issues, but the slow loading pages is driving me crazy. Remember the days of dial up and 64mg of ram? O my how far we have come. Haven't run into the O Dear Lady yet this morning. That is a good thing.

    Good morning all-

    I have a ton of things to do today, but wanted to come see if i could get by the gatekeeper lady and say hello...

    The weekend was more dramatic than I had hoped.  Carol had 2 crosscountry running meets this weekend, one on friday, one on Saturday.  I was working friday, so I was not planning on driving up to Anchorage, 150 miles, until Saturday to see her run that race....well, do you remember that saying about the best laid plans of mice and men?

    I got a call at about 3:00 on Friday to find out that Carol had been stung by a bee....BAD...Carol is alergic too bees....and the bus had moved and they couldn't find her meds, and I was 3 hours away.  Well, when the drama all ended, they found her meds and she was fine, didn't have a general reaction, just her hand swelling, which is good.  She didn't get to run Friday, but I hopped in the car and drove up right away.  By the time I got there she was doing fine, just embarased at all the fuss.

     She ran a personal best at the 5-K on Saturday, in the POURING rain, in 2 inch deep gumbo mud.  I had a raincoat and a big umbrella and I was still soaked too the skin....

     ANYWAY- disaster averted, she was fine...

     I don't mean to keep griping, but I am still havign trouble accessing the site....I hope this goes through. 

     Don't mean this to all be about me, but frankly, I have not been able to read back...keep getting kicked off the site.

     Hugs too all who need them.

    Good Morning!

    Good sign.....we are here, for now!

    I think we'll get this place back to normal again soon.......but right now, I'm feeling really comfortable in Gina's Rental House!  She has been a wonderful host, made us feel real comfortable and given us great toys to play with!

    Nicki: Glad to hear Henry and Ethan made a healthy arrival! Give them lots of little cheeck nibbles for me!  Pedicure and Manicure ,good for you!  I know we keep missing each other.........I wrote the majority of my posts at Gina's yesterday!

    Peter: Have a good sleep!

    Jasmine:  I grow silk flowers real well too!  I love flowers outside, but honestly..........the Husband takes better care of them than I do.  I just don't think to water or weed!

    Shirley: Skunks, snakes, mice and bats...............what was it that attracted you to this house????  I sure wish you were with us at PinkStock.......Anyhow, a couple days before we went I found a snake by my garage door.......it took the whole day, several pics being posted and my own ingenious invention to be able to leave my house.  The girls here had my back.......!!  Anyhow MB's son had a "pet" lizard at Pinkstock.....I came out of the bathroom and got pretty suspicious when everyone is staring at me and camera's at the ready!  So........I actually held the slimy critter, and did pretty good until he started to 'tongue' me real fast.  That was my last avatar......MB sent it to me.....I'm holding the lizard!  Thursday, I received my 'beautiful' new lizard from one of our dear friends.............so, as long as the boards wanted to change my name, thought I'd change my avatar too!   Now aren't you glad you asked!!!!

     Odalys:  Sorry you can't keep up with the confusion. Gina's house works beautifully and we all actually sound like our old selfs again!

    Gonna stop now and see if "OH DEAR" is hanging around or if this will go through!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    Hey Deb!  Glad Carol is okay........and sounds like she did great at the meet!

    If you're still hanging around here have you heard of the Rental House that Gina has lent us?  I know we've tried to make sure everyone has the new address.  She has it set up real nice and it is very easy access!  We're only staying until the "OH DEAR" lady gets done decorating this place!  You'll find alot of posts from the past couple of days there!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    Deb, good for Carol.  My boys used to run cross country in high school. Yikes on the bee sting tho. Glad she is ok. Come to Ginas house. Were having a ball over there

    Neesie, I love that name by the way....the price was right is all I can say. I remember reading something about a snake and a garage door and a paint pail?

    Sheri, thanks again

     off to work in the yard for a bit.

    Just popping in to say hello.  I haven't been here much since all the changes.  I have been visiting Gina's "rental home".  Someone posted the link above, but here it is again  www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/nosurrenderbreastcancer

    Come visit the wagon train there.  Hopefully bco will get back to the old friendly way soon.  They have made some changes back to the good ole way - i guess it just takes time.

    The painter is back to day working in the kitchen.  He says after he leaves today, we can start putting things back in the cabinets.  I tell you, I am tired of the mess and not being able to find anything.  I had hoped to be able to cook today for Rosh Hashanna, but no can do. Will cook a little tomorrow and Tuesday after work if I am not too exhausted.  Luckily we are invited out for lunch and dinner on Thursday, so I only have to cook for Wednesday.  We will eat leftovers on Friday after synagogue and then I will cook for Shabbat.  Luckily I did some baking last sunday so I have my challahs, honey cake and nut cake.  Wanted to do some more baking but that will have to wait till next Sunday.

    I see the onc on Tuesday afternoon for my 3 month check up.  Plan to discuss sleeping with him as even with sleeping pills, most nights I have trouble falling asleep and then wake up several times during the night, mostly to pee. The other night I slept 5 hours straight and couldn't believe how wonderful that was.  Last night I woke up atleast 3 times to pee.  Also want to see what other supplements I can take to combat the side effects of the Aromasin.  In the mornings my fingers are swollen and I can't close my hands till I have been up for a while.  Feet hurt in the morning as do knees.  The pain gets better during the day and then worse again at night.  I know its just something I have to get used to for 4 more years, but if there is anything that will help I'm willing to try it.  Craig and I try to walk most evenings for 20 -30 minutes.  I used to be able to keep up with him, but I can't walk as fast as I used to anymore - keep telling him to slow down.  I started back on Glucosamine, also taking Omega 3, CoQ10 (30mg), my multivitamin, calcium with D and magnesium.  Nasids don't seem to work for the pain, so I don't bother taking it.

    Well, I need to go get busy. Want to try going through the kitchen stuff that is all over the house and see what I don't use anymore and put it in a bag to take to Goodwill.  No use putting stuff back that I forgot I had or don't use. 

     Wishing everyone from A to Z a good Sunday.  Sweet dreams tonight and a feel good day tomorrow.  Hugs from denver, Karen

    Good afternoon Circle. Gee, I love this large print. I see some of the core of the circle has made it to post here today in one area or another. I didnt see the reason to take notes simply because I don't have a clue what's going on with anyone lately. Can't find all my frriends all on one board at the same time. Seems I'm either ahead or behind. Guess we're all that way. It does seem to be getting better here. Although, Ginas rental house is extrememly user friendly. So simple to use and I like that. There's enough stress in life without it being here. This board is what keeps alot of us going. We rely and depend on the stability of these boards. I think after all the kinks are worked out it should be fine. I really don't think it'll be much better than it was to start with, if any better at all when it gets down to basics.  This has been extrmemely confusing for some of the girls, I bounce back pretty good but some of them count on this one thing in their life to be the same, adjustment just takes time.

    Nice to see Nicki posting in the Circle this morning. Along with Neesie, Shirley, Sheri, Liz, Deb, and all the others.  Jazz.

    Odalys, i have to at least speak to you about this. You're one of the smartest, kindest and wittiest women on this site. I don't want to see you go. But if you don't want to post here then go to Ginas or I have another place that's safe and secure. Just dont leave  cos you're much more important to some of us than you realize. Just breathe and email me. cherimckenzie57@yahoo.com  Because you're my friend.

    Charlene, thank you for the very funny card in the mail. I just loved it and it came at a perfect time. I appreciated very much.

    Amy, do hope Tucker is doin well.

    Madison, very sweet of you to send my package. The card was also very funny.  Thank you very much.

    Hey to Vickie, Iris, Janny, Jankay, Margarette, MB, Gus, Boo, Neesie, Gina, Mena, Susan, Christine, Donna, Shirley, Sheri, Brenda, Carrie, Denise, BMD, Tracy, Shel, Cherylcy, CherylG, Robin, Marsha, Jazz, Z, Odalys, Charlene, and I think I covered you all but I must've missed at least one of my friends. Hard to remember everyone by heart, but then, that's how I think of you. in my heart.

    I hope any of you that run across this post has a wonderful day. I'll post in the other forums as well.

    pals,

    Cheri:  You sound like me.........I don't remember who posted what where or where I posted what who read!

    Oh well, atleast I'm getting some exercise running between the houses!  

    Well, update on the trip...........we now have tickets to Pheonix on Oct. 31.  We now have tickets home from San Diego on Nov. 8. Now, just like a school assignment.........I get to go and fill in the blanks!  Just small details like motel for 5 nights in AZ...Rental Car for 5 days in AZ.........drive or fly to San Diego on the 5th. and motel for 3 nights there!  No problem..............!!

    Iris: So to answer your question........I guess the trip is working out!  DD is a trip alright........always been quiet and layed back. But somewhere the past few months (could be the pregnancy) she has developed a bit of stubbornitis!!  We wanted to put the trip off (the San Diego part) off till next year...that way, DD wouldn't be 7 1/2 months pregno, GD would be a little bit more 'controllable' and My Son and his new wife could go with us!!  Not to mention we wouldn't have the expense of the wedding!!  She isn't budging...hell bent on going to the ZOO in San Diego...........so off we go and we will have a good time!

     WildJan:  Thanks for the website on knitting..........I have bought and tossed aside a couple of those "teach myself to knit" books in the pass...........but maybe, just maybe this time I can do it!

    Shirley: I'm just kidding about your 'place of residence!' But I'm sure you know that...............Is hubby really going to do it himself?

    Charlene:  Okay......about those bowling balls..........You could start your own company......"Boobs by Brunswick".........! Hope you're feeling a bit better today and I'm glad that you have figured out that you need to listen to your body and lay down when it says so!

    Sheri:  Praying for Jacobs safe return and soon.  That is kinda wierd message from the daughter of the man he was working with. Maybe they are looking out for him........but then they should get him on that plane home!

    Gina: You amaze me with your humor and wit with all you've been through!  Your hair will be long and beautiful in no time......but I laughed when you said your hairdresser had to file Chapter 13!

    Liz:  When is the CT on your stomach?  If you were in MI I'd tell you to drink Vernors...........but no one will know what it is!

    Nicki:  Hope you are enjoying your "be good to Nicki" day! Funny that you started out your career as a CNA.......good thing is you were smart enough to keep going!  I did the aide thing, then CENA thing, then Clinical and Patient Care Tech...............And none of it holds water anymore.  Good luck Sweet Friend.......you will find a good job!   I'm still trying to get us together...........can you get a day off in the week or strictly weekends?

    Lisa:  Atleast I've got until January to do the baby "afghan".....hey, if I can't figure it out, he'll have some real soft knitted burp cloths!!

    Blue:  Welcome to you!

    Tricia:  Glad we pulled you out of your shell..........love hearing from you!

    Amy:  The scans............how are you?

    Guz:  Where are you my fellow "Harris"?

    Okay, hope to be back in a bit...................gotta jog over to the "rental" and see who I've missed.................besides Susan, Vickie and Madison!

    Hugs,

    Hi all! I've been in the pity party wagon the last couple days. Found myself in tears a few times. I'm so tired of doing shots and when I have to do two a day it's even worse. My poor stomach looks like a battle field. The skin is getting tougher to get the needles in and makes me hate it more. i sure hope my INR levels are up Monday so I can stop the dail shots and go back to just 3 a week. I've been so weak that I break out in sweats from the mildest exertion. Can't get anything done when I'm like this. What should have been an hour shopping trip turned into 4 just to get from place to place. Then to top it off I'm at the check out at Home Depot and the cashier asks me if I'm OK, I say NO and she say well have a nice day! I managaed to get back to the car before I passed out and had to sit there for a while before trying to drive again. I just don't understand people sometimes.

    Deb I'm glad they found Carols meds and that she was OK.

    Odlays, please check back in a few days to see if they got the boards, excuse me Knowledge Exchange, doing better.

    Neesie, I like the new lizzard!

    Good evening sweet family,

    It's late so I have to make this a bit short.  Been a busy weekend.  Took Nate and  a "friend" and went to dinner and the movies last night.  Saw "Stardust" and really liked it a lot. Went to church this morning, came home, layed down and slept for four hours.  Geez...what a bum.  I hate to do that...weekends are too short as it is.

    CY...I'm so sorry honey...wish I could make it all better for you.  Sending you a hug.

    Nessie...well that lizards looks mighty pretty!  Much better than a snake.

    Cheri Pal...havent even talked to you all weekend...having cheri withdrawls...I'll try to call you tomorrow.

    Angel, Iris, Susan, Gina, Peter, Odalys, Madison, Liz, Mena, Puppy, MB, Jankay, Amy, Z and everyone that I've missed in between...sweet dreams to you all.

    Love and lotsa hugs

    Vickie

    Cheri .. Well said about the boards and how so many do rely on the stability of it and for it to be stress free.  I believe so many have migrated to Gina's site to have that stressfree atmosphere back while still being able to connect with friends.  I was hoping you'd be over there by now.  I'm so glad my card came at a good time and that you enjoyed it!  Laughter is the best medicine isn't it!


    Deb .. I'm so glad Carol is okay...what a weekend!  I sent you a PM.


    Neesie ..  I don't think I'd be too successful with my Boobs By Brunswick unless I lie when asked what they feel like  LOL 


    CY .. OMG, that is just terrible what happened at Home Depot.  It's not like she said "how are you" and then didn't bother to listen to the answer like so many do nowadays.  She must've seen you weren't ok to ask that.  Terrible. You passed out in your car?  See...you give me good reason to worry!  I think you need to slow down and give yourself some rest please.  I can't even imagine having to deal with those shots.
    Alot of people are over at Gina's site .. why don't you come over there for a bit?  It's very user friendly and feels just like home.  We're hanging out there while BCO gets the kinks fixed over here.  The web site is

    I just spent the only hour of all day downstairs with my children and it was very hard.  Ava kept wanting me to hold her and couldn't understand that I can't.  I finally had Karl put her on my lap and gently put her head against me.  But she started moving around like toddlers will and it was causing extreme pain to my chest.  Karl took her off me and she was just bawling.  I came back upstairs to hide again.  I know this won't last forever but it doesn't make now any easier.  Sigh .... 

    Hugs and Love to all from A-Z ,

    Charlene

    oh Angel...I'm sorry.  This must be heartbreaking for you...remember that this too shall pass.  She won't even remember a few months from now...knowing how children are she will have forgotten by tomorrow.  She's gettin love from Karl and she knows mommy loves her too. 

    If you need me...let me know...I'd drive down for the weekend and give you and Karl some relief.

    love and hugs

    Vickie
