TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS
Comments

Good evening CG's. Yes, it's me. I had a small temper tantrum over these boards and all the stress from work. I spend the afternoon gardening like a crazy wild woman. You should see the holes I dug up in order to plant the plam trees. It started raining and kept digging. I even broke the stick on the shovel but there was no stopping me. Boy, I feel so much better!
Sherloc, Cheri and Vickie - I couldn't just leave. You guys are my friends. Sorry if I caused you any distress.
Vickie- I am looking forward to your visit. I'm adding my email to my profile.
BTW- Gina's rental is great.
CY - OMG, I am so sorry you had to experience such insensitivity from an idiot today. Goodness...we should just go there and slap her silly for you. So sorry you have to endure daily shots. I only do monthly and my belly is already looking like a pin cushin. I can't imagine what you go through every day. I will say extra prayers for you. Please rest and be very careful behind the wheel. Is there someone that can run errans for you?
Okay - need to call it a night now. I didn't get much rest last night because we had a bad tropical storm and ended up loosing power. Jose was working so Steven climbed in bed with me because he was scared of all the lightning and thundering. We also brought Maggie into the room with us because she kept howling. Goodness, no wonder I had a melt down this morning.
Love and hugs to all. See you manana.

Love & Hugs,
Charlene

I am still getting used to this new format. Change can be good sometimes.
Spent a busy weekend and now paying for it. Yesterday my evil ss was here but he was pretty well-behaved except for one small moment at McD's when he threw french fries that were on the floor in the playland at some other kid. It was apparently in self-defense. Then after we left him at his mother's we changed clothes and went to an installation dinner at the local AmVets Post where dh's friend is the Commander. Today was quiet and then we went to my best friend's church and saw John Angotti perform. It was the 20th Anniversary of their pastor and they were very involved with the program and her dh was singing tonight. It was wonderful, and that is coming from someone who is not Catholic! It was meant ot be for us to be there because I ran not my friedn from high school that has been so sick, she is a parishioner there. She is gettign the bone marrow test results back tomorrow so everyone please cross your fingers that they get good news.
Getting ready for the holidays. Looking forward to a sweet and healthy New Year to all my sisters and brothers here of all denominations! Sending cyber hugs to all, from Amy to Z!

Just popping in to give a hug to CY. I am praying you are better tomorrow and can at least have fewer shots.
Charlene, that must have been so heartbreaking for you both. Did you say you have one more fill? I am sorry this has been such a painful process for you.
I hope all the wagon girls sleep well tonight.

Stopping by to say goodnight to all...
Cy: I wish I could make things better for you........and I really wish that you would slow down and take things easy for awhile. You go, go, go..........and your body needs rest. Did you really pass out in your car or was that an expression? It scares me........don't think you should be driving until you start feeling better.
Charlene: I hope you didn't mind my joke about the boobs by brunswick.........it may have been insensitive. I know you are in alot of pain both physically and emotionally...........I'm sure it breaks your heart not to be able to hold Ava.........but she feels your love for her. I can feel your love for your girls over the internet so I'm sure your house runnith over with love. Glad you are resting more and letting your body heal!
Vickie: Wondered where you had been all day!! Thought you got lost running between this house and Gina's! Have a good night.
Odalys: Stay with us Dear, We'll be back in our regular wagons before you know it. In the mean time the Rental that Gina fixed up is great!!
Good night A to Z.......
Hugs,
Denise

Tricia ... Yes, I have one more fill. Hmmm, maybe I should have stopped at this one. It has been heartbreaking. We went through this when I had my mastectomies too, only then it was longer periods of time I wouldn't see her. Well, I've heard it's almost like childbirth in that after all is said and done and I have something resembling breasts again that I won't remember this pain!
Neesie ... Don't you give it a second thought, I loved your Boobs by Brunswick joke! You and your sense of humor is one of the reasons I'm here in this circle. I Love reading your posts. I'm sure you're right, she does feel my love, thank you for that.
Well I'm off to Gina's Rental (good one Neesie) to say goodnight there.
Love & Hugs,
Charlene

I'm here - my screen name threw me too! I'm back from THE wedding so I'm going to read and try and catch up before I go to bed. Maybe all of these problems will have been fixed by the time I catch up.
MargaretB aka margob or margob111 (I can't remember what my screen name was at the time).
I'm going to try the cut and paste method. I guess I have to repost my avatar huh? I haven't found it yet, but is there a feature where we can go to the last read post?
Jenni, who said you weren't a circle girl? You're here, right?
Wild Jan, love Grey's Anatomy - my favorite show. If for some odd reason I can't watch it, I TIVO it.
Sheri, that's scary about your student.
Nicki, hope you got that manicure and pedicure. Two new nephews? Congrats.
I hope Odalys didn't leave. I know this is frustrating and I'm hoping it gets better.
CY - at least I hope that's CY (b445), I hope you are feeling better soon.
Will go visit Gina's site.

Just popping in to say good night. Hope everyone sleeps well except for Peter of course. Time to get up sir.
Cy, honey please take some time to rest. Can you take a few days off of work? Does your hubby know your this weak? I am so sorry you are having to deal with all this crap.
Charlene, you too my dear. Sloppy kisses for you. Everyone is right. Ava knows her mommy loves her and this will soon be over.
Margaret, how was the wedding? Did everyones dresses fit in all the right places?
Vicki, guess you needed a nap. I hate it when I sleep the day away too.
Love and hugs to all. See you tomorrow

Good Morning Everyone: Well this has certainly been an interested start to my day. Just went to get myself a cup of coffee and I forgot to put the coffee pot in my coffee maker. So if you havent guessed it - there was coffee all over my kitchen counter. For some odd reason the was an open box of uncooked spagetti. So I was trying to get that out of the way so the box wouldnt get wet and all the spaghetti fell out into all the coffee. Actually I looked like I was from an episode of "I love Lucy." Mess is cleaned up now - had to make a new pot of coffee. Ya know those paper towels that are strong enough to clean up any mess? Well they work if you end up using almost the whole roll I sure hope the rest of my day is not as silly as it started.
I spent most of the day yesterday watching football. DaBears lost. We have a great defense, but our offense is awful. They beter get their act together or Im gonna have one anxious football season ahead of me.
For some reason, I have a better attitude about work. I think that is because I have an interview tonight and sent out 2 more resumes. What I learned is there are lots of things out there, now I just have to take my time and be careful I make the right decision.
They seem to be working out the kinks on bc.org - it was very easy for me to get on today. But it sure seems like we are missing many.
Charlene: I sure do remember my expanders feeling like bowling balls. They put 800cc on both sides. But what I remember more is after the exchange surgery. How soft they feel.
Jas: I was never a flower person until I moved into this house 3 years ago. Never really had a green thumb, still dont. But then I found out its pretty easy. Only took me one day to plant all my flowers. They were so small in the beginning. Now they are huge! Gives you a feeling of satisfaction knowing you did that.
Odalys: Talk about computer stress. My computer at work went down 5 weeks ago today. Its still not fixed. Pretty hard to do my job effectively without one. I have been having to hand write all my reports.
Wild/Jan: I liked carinvale too. If you liked Deadwood, you would probably like John From Cincinatti they are written by the same person. Many of the actors and actresses from Deadwood are in John from Cincinatti.
Sherloc: Marathon doctor week! Thats funny although I dont envy you one bit. I only have one appt this week. BTW 5 pounds for twins is good especially cause they were 4 weeks early.
Liz: Hoping you are feeling better today.
Neese: Im must agree it has been very comfortable at Ginas house. In fact this morning Im going crazy - as now I have to check 2 places to find everyone.
Karen: Waking up to pee is a big pain in the butt. I would definitely get that checked out - could be something easy to fix. I can never keep up with my husband when we are walking either. Yet its funny, when I walk my dog - I have no choice. I should really say he walks me and almost has me at a jogging pace.
Cheri: It was so good to see a post from you. Hoping your feeling better, miss ya around here when you dont post.
Neese: I do believe that every nurse should start out as a CNA. I think that was the hardest job I ever had. I gained a wealth of experience that I keep with me to this very day. It will be hard for me to take anymore time off at work during the week - I used up my last 8 days to get over the pneumonia. BTW - your trip sounds like a whole lot of fun.
CY: You are allowed pity parties. Trying to do things when your getting chemo is just so hard. Everything is harder. Im hoping your INR goes up too. Will they eventually be able to give you coumadin instead of the shots?
Vickie: It sure does sound like you had a busy week-end. But lots of it was doing fun things.
Charlene: Im sending you hugs. I dont know if I could have gone through this journey having 2 little ones to worry about.
Odalys: I think we have all thrown temper tantrums with regards to the boards getting back to normal. I was a crazy maniac on Friday. We wont let you go anywhere my dear. This is where you belong. Cant get through my day without at least talking with my friends.
MargaretB: Glad the wedding was fun. It takes some time getting used to everything on this new format. I did get the manicure and pedicure and it was wonderful. I had so much dead skin on my heals it was disgusting. Now I have to get my hair colored and I will look young again.
Sherloc: Waving hello to you as I cannot read my notes.
Hoping everyone has a great day. I probably wont be back til tomorrow morning. Interview is at 3:30 pm and I expect I will be getting home late.

Good morning dear family,
oh my it's monday again...I suppose the alternative isn't any good either so I'll just be glad for another day.
Checking around the circle and it looks like everyone is getting used to the new arrangements. Had me scared for a day or so!
Where is my sunshine sister Nicki...I really need to read back and catch up...I missed a lot this weekend.
Jankay...we could use some funnies!
Cheri...I'll try to have my im on and talk to you today.
CY...just wish I could be there to give you a hug. Sent many prayers and an angel your way.
Denise...yup...spent most of the weekend lost LOL.
Odalys...whew. A tropical storm and I missed it...Darn! I love a storm. My dd always did too until she moved to Florida. I remember her crying the year before last when you had one hurricane after another. She said it was so very sad to see all the destruction and the lost look on so many faces. She said it was a look she hoped to never see again. Glad you were safe.
Deb...my you are a busy lady! Come sit and have a chat, we miss you and your lovely writing.
Peter...tucking you in this morning with a sprinkle of magic sleep dust and hopes for a restful night. More than four hours are needed to feel better! Hope you can manage at least 6 or 7.
Gonna wander over to Gina's house and see who is up over there and then get ready for work.
Love ya all...each and every one

Guess you all can tell school started again since I am up at O dark 6 AM! It is way too early and dh had to get to work early too as he is back in the usual rotation.
I had a rotten night's sleep so am going back to bed for a little bit after ds goes to the bus. I sure hope everyone is feeling better today. I will check in later on. Sorry to not be posting much but life has intruded on board time the past few days, LOL.
Sending a special, soft cyberhug to CY
Love and hugs,
Beth

Good morning campers. Up and at 'em. All I can say is thank goodness the temps have backed down to the 80's here since my air conditioner conked out on me last night. I have a feeling this repair is going to be a doosie too. Oh well, life will go on.
Its raining here again which is good. We had over 30 days with no rain and 100+ temps so we need as much rain as we can get to fill the reservoirs back up. Some towns were on water restrictions and burn bans.
Nickie -- I've never left the coffee pot out before but I have forgotten to put coffee in and come back thinking the coffee is done and all I have to show is a pot of really hot water. Please let us know how the job interview goes.
Well, going to run put on my own pot of coffee this morning.
Toodles...

Good Morning all.
hahahahhah Nicki, I can't tell you how many times I've done that. And not put coffee in Jaz, and not put water in, and forgot there was already coffee in the pot. What a mess that makes too.
Nicki dear the day can only go up from there.
Vicki, if you don't want scans tell your doc you don't want scans. I know easier said than done. Always that darn "what if" thing in the recesses of our brains.
Jaz, we have a burn ban every year starting usually in May that lasts thru the first rain/snow fall. Our lakes are looking mighty sad right now too.
Off to see whats happening at Ginas house. See ya later.

Good morning everyone
CY - you have got to slow down! We talked at Pinkstock about how you are always on the go. I'm sure Scott didn't know you were that weak or he would have had a fit! Please take some time to rest.
Nicki - Hahahahaha I usually do the no coffee and hot water thing like Sher. The right job will come along. Just go into each interview with an open mind.
Sher - hope all goes well with your scans today.
Neesie - and what exactly would Vernor's be? This barium crap should be against the law. Bllleeeeecccccccckkkkkkkk!
Vickie - my onco doesn't do scans unless a problem is presented. Soooo - you shouldn't need scans and besides tell you onco that Dr. Liz said you are fine and she can't afford to come back to NY just right now. Oh how I wish I could go to FL with you guys.
Jas - looks like rain here as well. Oh I so hate air conditioning problems. I hope it's something small. We had to buy a new unit year before last. Ouch!
Angel - you will forget the pain. I'm sure it's so hard not being able to be with Ava right after the fills. She won't even remember all this. She knows you love her and you're a good mommy.
Hi Beth - hope things are well with you.
Cheri - how are you feeling?
I've missed many - still waiting to hear about Amy's scans. So everyone from A to Z have a fantastic day. I'm off to drink more barium. LOL

Good Morning!
This is a good sign............BCO has been up and running for about 24 hours now!!!!
Margaret: Yea, alot of us were "assigned" new names over the weekend! And no Avatars to place the names with...........it's been lot's of fun around here! I'm now "neesie" in case you haven't figured it out! Glad the wedding went well...(I'm assuming!) and that you are back home safe and sound.
Amy: You are driving a bunch of us batty.........(sorry Shirley!) We have been waiting all weekend to hear from you after the scans. Hoping all is well and that we will here from you soon.
Alwayshope: Air conditioning down.........thank god it's cooling down a bit. I hate paying money for repairs that no one is going to see! Ya know...........a new couch.........you see it, you feel it, you enjoy it. A new roof...........it's just up there! Good luck.
Shirley: I know you have a ton of appts. this week and I'm thinking a scan today. You'll do fine, but be sure and let us know.
Vickie: I think I missed something jumping from house to house over the weekend. What kind of scan do you NOT want to have? Don't remember if I asked this or not.........but the way you phrased your sentence about going to the Movies with Nate and a friend, HEE, HEE................what kind of friend was this????
Madison: Morning to you.......remember seeing a post from you at Gina's Rental last night and I probably replied......but have no idea what it was!
Charlene: Hope today is a better day for you, dear. One more fill and you are done............or not............what's the next step?
Nicki: You sound so good! Glad you got the pedicure and manicure...........dejavu............I swear I said that somewhere yesterday!Good attitude about the job..............I just know you will find what you are looking for! What a way to start the day.....Now a note for all!
IF ALL OF YOU COFFEE DRINKERS OUT THERE WOULD DO LIKE ME YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR COFFEE TO BE DONE OR FORGET TO ADD COFFEE OR WATER OR TURN IT ON OR OFF........................SIMPLY GO TO THE FRIDGE IN THE MORNING, OPEN IT UP AND GRAB A CAN OF COKE..POP THE LID AND VIOLA! INSTANT CAFFENE!
Gotta go start my day..................more problems with the doggie, so gotta make her an appointment....Meltdown when I discovered I don't have an appointment for my hair! (usually book 3 or 4 in advance!) And the highlight of the day is that I get to go to the Dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, the one lone tooth that doesn't have a crown on it is going to get ground down, filled, impressions(yuck), temporary crown and yada, yada! Can't wait..I'm sure that's good for 2 or more hours in his chair!
To all having tests, procedures and troubles...........thinking of you and waiting to hear results.
Has anyone heard from Robin?
Susan: Are you letting work get in the way of your board time?
Hugs,
Denise

You didn't put the summons in the cookbook...you probably have little gremlins like I do. They do all sorts of things when I'm not lookin...took all my pants in so they don't fit me now...hid one of my cordless phones...mess up the living room when I'm not lookin...steal my eyeliner (oh wait...thats Capt Jack LOL)...put fudgesickles in the fridge instead of the freezer and the list goes on. Big hug to ya!
Nessie...yes a very interesting friend LOL!
Raining here too...phooey. I don't care.

Hey Jas........my daughters band teacher says that girls don't sweat they just glisten.........so I guess you won't be glistening today but will be nice and cool..........

Morning All (still morning in my neck of the woods).
So out of the loop on everything that is happening in the Circle. Still a tremendous amount of stress at work and waiting on word from DC
Alwayshope...congrats on keeping your leg....airconditioning is a MUST in the south and can be very expensive to fix
Vickie, Nate is starting school!!! Give him a hug and wish him luck......
I was looking for word from Amy.....hummm...anyone heard from her
I know that Liz has a CT today and Shirley....sure hope we hear something soon
Angel, I agree with what was said....your child will remember the good moments...the hugs and love
CY-now you have me worried......please slow down and take care of yourself
Nicki, congratulations on the twins birth....oh, to have babies in the family is fantastic
Deb, my, what a scare!! Glad everything is okay. Two of my daughters ran cross country (one had asthma so I always met her at the finish line with her inhaler)...and nothing (except a lightening storm) cancelled a meet.. We were state champions 2 years in a row...love, love, love cross country meets.
NS, thank you for our home away from home. How are you today?
Denise, did I read you had a dentist appointment....YULK....good luck
Margaret, hope you post wedding pictures soon
Hi Donna a/k/a Casino Girl...
Shokk-wow, is it a cool/cold front going through you area? I heard (on the weather report) that we may have temps as low as 65 Saturday morning......can't wait for lower temps...still in the high 90's. Do you know if your jury duty is for a criminal or civil trial?
Cheri, glad you received the mail. I am also having a problem keeping up with everyone.
Sheri, Happy Birthday. Sure hope you hear some good news from Jacob today.
Hi there Tricia
MB, what do you think of the changes to the board......have you seen the "Oh Dear" lady yet?
Odalys, the new website changes drove me crazy the first few days
Beth, one of the great things about being OLD is that the kids are Grown and GONE....I used to HATE the school wake-up calls-the made rush to get dressed and out the door
Karen, so sorry you have having problems....I would definitely check out the issue of waking up at night to have to go the the bathroom.....bladder infection?
Jenni-did received your squares on Saturday, thank you
Well, lunch break is almost over, so no more time on the boards till tonight. I will try to stop in every so often to check on word from Amy, Liz and Shirley
Hugs from A to Z... know I missed many-but just have not been able to catch up for the last few weeks
