    Finally time to catch up, it's 1am Central time and I have only notes from the last 2 pages, I have Australian Pink Floyd playing on PBS on the background, so feeling really good. I think this site is getting easier, or I am finally getting comfy with it...

    Jas- so good to see you, I am glad you still have a job, I guess- keep up the good work is in order.

    Candie- heal quickly, we need as many "healed" gals as we can get here.

    Z- My God mom is going soon to assisted living from a re-hab environment, I have been thru it w/my dad and now a few more of my friends parents, we have to realize when they can no longer do it alone, as heart-breaking as it is.

    Liz- from what I have read it seems like you are OK, but of course, we worry- are you alright? I miss you you, pm or email if you need to talk. You are my first friend, I met at at PS and I treasure our "lost" time together.

    Nicki- it sounds like you have a job opportunity...Good Luck!

    Madison- I just talked with a friend of mine that lived in your city while going to college, she worked at Mansur's for 5 yrs and said it was the best in the area.

    Brenda, I am sorry to hear about your mom.

    Donna, (casino girl) good luck on your diving test today and this week-end.

    Vickie- I didn't know about your LE, hope it is better.My friends are going to drive to Daytona, the same wkend you'll be in Orlanda, I just might join them, then rent a car to catch up w/ ya'll.

    Love to all-

    Good Morning Everyone:  Boy, Im tired!  I must say this has bee a long week for some reason.  I cant even say Im glad the week-end comes so I can sleep in late, cause I never do - but its just the idea that I can.

    Found out that Horizon Bay is pretty big company.  Corporate office is in Tampa.  I will be having my telephone interview today.  Its so weird how this just popped into my life at the right time - this must be an important position, more high profile than I thought.  So we shall see where today takes me.

    Marsha:  Have fun in Tennessee

    Joyce  Good to see you

    Candie:  Somehow I missed what is going on with your knee, but I hope everything is ok.

    Odalys: Im not getting my hopes up, but this Director of Wellness position in a retirement community certainly has my attention.

    Neese:  Mom Day - yucko, cant even look forward to Fridays.

    Sherloc:  I loved the Zodiac Killer movie.

    Charlene:  I know I will find you somewhere this morning.  Either here or in the Hamptons.  Hope you cold is getting better.

    Liz:  I still say get a second opinion by a gastroenterologist. 

    Hope you all have a great day and I will see tonight.  Yes!  I will finially have time to explore all the new stuff and improvements here.

    Wishing all my sisters from Amy to Z a fantastic Friday and weekend.

     

    For some strange reason my old computer does not like the new improved setup here, and I have been living in the rental accomidation.

    Just popping in to let you know I am still feeling run down and very tired at the moment another reason why I have not posted.

    I hope this post goes through, and keeping all in my thoughts and prayers

    Good Morning!

    Cool on this end of the circle today!  I kinda liked the 90's we had most of the summer!  It's so hard to know how to dress....yesterday I decked myself out in a long sleeve shirt and within a couple of hours of leaving I was sweating!

    Nicki:  GOOD LUCK!!!!  There was some 'reason' this position popped into your life.............wishing you the best!

    Peter: AW...........the computer doesn't like the new home!!  Well, atleast I know where I can find you!

    Charlene:  Hope you are feeling okay and that you got 'some' rest last night.  The pics of your little ones are adorable!

    Shirley: Did I read that you have to have more scans?  Thanks for the addresses!  I haven't had any trouble having pages load on here.  Good thing, cuz I'd be clueless as to what to do about it!

    Christine:  Good to hear from you!  How "keewl" that would be if you met up with the girls in Florida!  How are the home repairs coming along?

    Madison:  All okay after yesterdays storms?  

    Liz:  Gallbladder............could be!  They snatched mine back in 91.......still have a wierd stomach, but atleast I know it isn't my Gallbladder!  I take Prilosec.............it is a over the counter drug now, but if your Doctor gives you a RX for it, Insurance will cover it.

    Vickie, Madison, Cheri, Susan,  where are you????

    Odalys:  Thanks Dear!  Didn't I see that you are having a test or appt. today?  Best of wishes!

    Okay......running across the beach to the Rental for a few and then have to get ready to go to Mom's and then get my hair cut.  

    Hugs,

    Denise

    sherloc - have you cleaned out your temporary internet files and waste basket recently? what operating system are you running? sorry we missed meeting you at pinkstock maybe some day on one of our runs to washington state we can hook up ... who knows .... we had a blast at saint's place ....

    liz - if it is the gall bladder you might get lucky and figure out the trigger food (mine was Bartle and James wine coolers ... go figure) but others say radishes, pepper, tomatoes, etc ... once i found my trigger i've been ok except very rare flare ups and have been able to avoid surgery for 15 years ... if it is due to gallstones they can u/s those to confirm the dx

    cy feeling better ?

    suz - any news?

    angel - hi nice to meet you

    hugs to all and to all a great day

    Thanks everyone - but really, I'm okay. 

    Girls, the gallbladder left it's residence in 1976!  So we know for sure it's not that.  It's stress and I'm going to go see a gastro guy after I get my mom fixed up.  I take prescription meds for my stomach and it's most likely that I need to switch those around.  In the meantime, I'm enjoying the weight loss.  Hehehehe

    Off to read,

    Hugs

    robin1 are you RobinTN.  Good to see you.  ihope you are doing better and your new boobs are wonderful. 

    this is all getting to be a bit much for me with new names, new avitars, new websites. etc. I'm just a simple country girl.  hee hee.  I know this is the mother ship and all but the Hamptons seems to be easier. 

    Liz, if you need help with secret pals or christmas list please let me know.  I hope you are doing well.

    Pam, hugs for you. 

    oh heck, hugs for everybody.

    Miss Cheri, where are you.  I haven't been to the spa yet, cause I haven't been on to get my acknowledgment or whatever.  Hmmm....how long will it be before you get kicked out of the spa????????ROTFLMAO

    Lunch time fly by, do we still have to cut and paste (I am, don't want to lose anything).



    Shirley, have you tried clearing out the cache and cookies, temporary internet files and checking under security to see that the site is allowed? If you have cleared out cache and cookies, restart your machine. Mine loads up fine.



    Peter, I hope you are feeling back to norm soon.



    Denise, I like Southern Living.



    Did Robin post and I missed it?



    I have time to go to the Hamptons so that's where I'm headed.

    Susan:I still have so much pain will have to get back to you on the status of the "girls"for now wish I could turn back time.But I do know that all pain passes.This is just more extensive than I was thinking.Although I have read enough and was fully informed.I guess i thought it would just happen bam,bam,but nothing happens like that for me.SO now I have got to heal.Now I feel like there are things inside my chest that dont belong there.Maybe after I get a fill in next week it will feel better.If I turn a certain way I get a bad muscle spasm in the left side.

    Oh well enough whining.

    Margaret:I am here.How are you doing? I have missed you so much.

    Missing you all and will try to catch up with everything when I get back to FL on Sept 22.

    Hi Robin, so good to see you back here. Hope you are starting to feel better.So sorry you still have pain.

    Nicki, good luck with the interview

    Peter, feel better.

    Susan, what is this Christmas list you are talking about?

    To everyone, hope your Friday has been good. And here's to everyone having a good weekend.

    I talked to my cardiologist today. He said to keep off the apsirin til the bruises go away. Once they are totally gone--start aspirin again. Then will know if it's from that or not.  Due to my recent knee surgery I was off aspirin for 5 days. Took it one day and got the bruises. So we can't tell yet if that's what it is from. I hope it is that simple. I sure hope I don't have to go to a hematologist. Gosh, I don't need more problems.

    Liz, no I didn't get tummy injections.

    ok--going to read and have dinner. Then off to the chat room.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Happy Friday,

    I've got to go back and read to catch up but thought I would say hi first. My DS and DH just left to drive up to Crystal River with their boyscout troop and swim with the manatees. I went once a couple years ago and it is an incredible experience. Those huge creatures are so gentile and curious and the love to be pet!!! We called them water puppies while we were there because they would follow us around and turn over for you to scratch their belly. I hope to go again sometime but this trip was a boy - dad thing.

    I'm going to try to catch up on reading a bit before I go to my friends.

    Hugs,

    Sue

    I see Lisaelder checked in with us finally- THANK HEAVENS!

    Robin, if you have any questions about recon I would be happy to help- you had implants right? That is what I had.

    I am still seriously reconsidering whether or not I feel like finishing this course of chemo!

    Love,

    Hi to all!

    Yup, Lisa has come forth...........I posted to you on the "where is LisaE site"..Please read it and know I am serious.

    Robin:  Glad to see you posting!  Of course the Girls hurt.............6 feet of them.........geesh!!  Hopefully you will be feeling better soon.  Charlene is going through the same thing.........she might be a good one to talk to. Yes, I will pm you my number...........and I'm glad you received your little gift!

    Hey, we all got "assigned" new names when they changed the boards!  I logged on and was "Harris".................decided to go with "Neesie"......Cheri has called me that from day one!

    Gina:  UMMMMMM Hellllllooooooo.............of course you are going to continue on with Chemo.  Hang in there Dear.........you know you can do this.

    Nicki:  Triple yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  for you!  I so hope you get this job....sounds very promising!  Miss ya.......guess I'll have to jump over to the Rental and see what you're up to!

    Susan:  I see Buffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How's the job coming?  Hope you are feeling better from the Biopsy.

    Margaret:  Come on over to the Southern Living Party tomorrow!  They've got some great stuff.  Why I'm having a party I have no idea.........I don't do parties!  Oh well!

    My Son and Fiance sent their wedding invitations out and I received one today............I was so happy, I started crying (just a bit!)

    Flip the happy over.............

    2 hours ago my Son called me and he had totaled his truck.  He is okay but of course I asked him if he was crying and then he really broke down.

    I HATE BEING A LONG DISTANCE MOM!

    He was upset, because when he called his fiance..............he say's she never once asked if he was okay.  She just said, Great, that is all we freaking need right now, a deductible for insurance.  

    I'm sure that if she said that, Andy being upset anyhow, took it wrong.

    I swear, this child of mine..........takes one step forward and 20 steps backwards...........But he is mine and I love him dearly!!

    I wish I could copy this and post at the Hamptons, but I tried that once and it didn't work.

    MB:  My little weather alert on the computer keeps flashing red.  I thought what the heck...........so I clicked on it and it says that there is a frost warning out for Hinsdale tonight!  Me's thinking I must have put Hinsdale in there before we left for Pinkstock!  Recipes coming!

    Well, tomorrow I'll have a few people here and then Granddaughter is spending the night..........but I will manage a few minutes with you all!!

    I am really upset about my Son......................GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

    Hugs,

    Denise

    Robin, glad you're back - you know you can always PM me (at least I think you can, with this site don't know what we can do any longer) but I see you made it to the Hamptons.

    Denise, let me know if there is something you think I need (note, I said need, not want) at your Southern Living party.  Sorry about your son's truck and if his fiancee said that, she's probably under a lot of stress.  My SD was bridezilla planning hers.

    I know I saw Elaine, Sue, Brenda here, hope you're finding your way to the Hamptons.  If you don't know how to get there, let us know so we can give you directions.

    I am posting here and at the rental, it's exactly the same post.

    Hi there sisters and brother Peter, got room for another wagon? Wow, I like the rental, could easily be home.

    I got my hugaghan today and yes, I am crying.  I called Jankay and I hope she could understand me, I was crying a good old fashioned kid cry, complete with hiccups. LOL!

    I am never at a lost for words, but this has made me speechless. I am so lucky to have you all and I am losing memory of life before the Circle. 

    I'm here in thought if not always in word and I feel closer to you all than some of my bio family and I wouldn't change a thing if I could.

    Robin: I am so glad to see you.

    Gina: Thank you!

    Vickie and Madison: You are angels.

    Cheri and Charlene: Thank you for my well wishes.

    Peter: Thank you for checking in on me.

    I think there are new sisters that I have not met and I apologize for my tardiness in your well deserved welcomes, WELCOME!  The Circle (no matter where it is) is the best place to be if you need sisters who know what you are going through and if you need a hug, shoulder or just to vent - let it all hang out!

    For all of you: I am thinking of you all and as always. reach out, I'm reaching too.

    well seems sticking to last page isn't going to be that bad. Geez is everyone avoiding the mothership?
    I have taken all the advice. Emptied everything I can think of. Only when I open the threads does it load slowly. All the other pages load just fine??? Who the heck knows.

    Char, I have to get new xrays, so says the nurse. I'll be calling on monday to find out what the point of that is if the darn ribs won't don't show up on the film.

    Jenni, you got to hang with Saint. Now I'm even sadder that I missed it.

    Hey Choca, glad your enjoying your time with your parents.

    Boo, swimming with manatees has got to be very very cool.
