    WildJan -- I carried extra batteries for my camera.  Just be sure they are in an unopened pack and you shouldn't have any trouble.

    Holy crow...I need a cigarette...don't worry...no way am I lighting up now...not even sure how many days its been but I do know that right now it would sure make me feel good (for about 2 minutes...not worth it).
    I GOT ALL THE COMPUTERS SWITCHED OVER AND UP AND RUNNING...THANK GOD!!!  I thought I'd go bananas.  We have half the building on Windows XP and half on the new Vista...well...Windows XP is fine...I can handle that...Vista is another story altogether!  Connecting them to all run together happily through a server has been a chore! 

    Colleen...thank you for the sweetest words.  I truly appreciate it.  I'd help any one of my dear sisters at any time.

    Shirley...so do you have to go for new x-rays or not?  I don't blame you for being tired of it.  Sending a hug...

    Angel...did you have another fill today?  Hope you are doing ok...can you skip a couple until you aren't so sore?  Gentle hugs to you.

    Robin...I'm so happy to see you back.  I have the backhoe ready whenever you want. 

    Cheri...don't you be catching a cold from those darling boys you hear me!  Antibacterial soap, lysol, clorox, whatever it takes...you stay healthy!  Actually you probably have enough antibiotics in your system to be fine. 

    Jasmine...howdy sweet girl. 

    Shokk...where did you go?

    Where is Marsha?

    CY...wish you would rest more!

    Back to work...

    oh...MB...I think we will only be about 5 hours total before arriving in Florida. I think it is on the email I sent you. 

    Susan...a big hug for you today. 

    Deb...I went ahead and read your story on your blog...it's like that here where I work...everyone whispers the "C" word.  It's strange and I've never figured it out for sure...are they afraid if they say it too loud it will "get them" or is it just a courtesy thing in cause you don't want to discuss it.

    really back to work now LOL.  sorry to everyone I missed...I'll catch  up later...
    Love and hugs to all

    Hi WildJan...maybe you could ask them not to scan your batteries.  The smaller airports are more accomodating.

    I haven't seen the new Windows Vista yet.  I'm really quite happy with XP.  How does Vista compare to XP?

    Hey Jasmine...not sure yet.  I do like the look of Vista.  It is so totally different from XP though.  Makes it hard to do anything because its so hard to figure out where in the world everything is...finding the control panel is a chore in itself.  I think it will be well liked though...we shall see.

    Hi honey, I'm home.   What a day so far.  Audrey had her well child appointment and passed with flying colors.  First time she wore a gown and it reminded me again how she's getting older even though she's only 8.   Those 8 years have flown by.  She had her chickenpox booster and hepatitis A immunization.   Has to go back for the Hep A booster in 6 months.  She does have fluid in one ear and hopefully that won't turn into an infection.  She's not having pain and doctor said it could resolve itself and be from her congestion which she still has from her cold. 
     
    My gynecologist called me while I was in with Audrey and left a voice mail for us to talk about my oopherectomy that I'm going to have done.  I've been playing phone tag because I had my oncologist appointment and just heard back from her nurse.  The gyn will be on call tonight and I could expect to hear from her before the night is over.
     
    The oncologist appointment went okay.  We talked about the ooph and how she'll want me to switch to an AI after that's done.  I'm not sure I'll do that but I'm to call her 2-3 weeks after the ooph and we'll discuss the pros and cons of it.  I also have to go for a repeat CT Chest w/contrast Scan on 10/15 to look at a couple of tiny nodules that were seen on my right lung on the scan in April.  This scares me tremendously .. not the scan but the results.  I'm just want it over with and to know.  I'm not sure I'll deal well if it's bad.  I don't think I can handle any more right now.
     
    My congestion is still bad and I may have to go to the doctor since it's been hanging on.  I'm having stomach pain that just started this afternoon and I'm thinking it's from the coughing.  At least I hope it is!
     
    Well going to read back and see what's going on with everyone.  BBL

    Angel -- I had some nodules on my lungs too.  But they are unchanged since my first ct and they are determined to be from a previous infection.

    Jaz, I need to see if we have that show here; have never seen it.  Probably doesn't help that I don't clean - my son may not pay rent but we make him pay the cleaning lady.  He complains that it's too much - how are these kids ever going to afford to live on their own - especially in CA?

    Cheri, I hope you can at least take a nap if you're not sleeping at night.

    To all those taking tamoxifen, do you take it at night or in the am?  I take mine at night but switched to am this morning to see if it helps my sleep.

    Shokk, sounds like the girlfriend did you a favor even though it probably didn't seem like it at the time.  At least yours went for women - mine apparently liked young girls - or that's what I found out years later.

    Denise, how was Southern Living?

    Colleen, hope you had a great time with sis.

    Ok, lunch over so back to work for me.  Catch up with you later.

    Hi Margaret...I take my Tamoxifen in the morning.  No reason...just that I always have.  I take Lexapro at night though and have read and heard that they don't mix so maybe it was a good thing.   I have to find out.

    Good Afternoon Friends!

    WildJan:  Glad to hear that DH is okay..........I'm not scared of Spiders, but those poisionous ones alot of states have and I would not get along. My Son has scorpions and some spider..........yikes.

    Deb:  Glad you're feeling better..........Shingles twice at your age....how'd you pull the lucky straw?  Your 'remember when' stories of the past couple days are down right funny and I can totally picture you in them.....especially the college one!

    Susan:  Hope things are better for you.  The man thing kinda surprised me, only cuz I've you guys.  I totally agree that no matter how nice they appear, and even if they 'don't' say anything..............inside they think it to some degree.

    Right now...........it's probably me cuz I'm having this problem with money issues.  Like, I'm not making any.  DH doesn't say anything about it (much anyway), but he won't say...It's okay, don't worry about it either.  Anyhow, I've let it eat at me for weeks..............but haven't done anything about it. I know I keep saying to you all that I need a new job..............so get off my butt and get one right!  

    Anyhow, what makes me feel so quilty is the fact that we've got the trip and wedding coming up fast.  Of course he is paying for it and hasn't said anything.(much anyway!)  But, see........we've only been married 6 years and these are his step kids....he doesn't have any of his own.  He has given DS LOTS of money to get out of jams of one kind or another.........this stopped pretty much a couple of years ago.........so like I said.....I think I feel more guilty about not having "my own money"...........................I was going to say more, but then I realized that I don't even know what brought this up!  Nothing like extending sympathy to Susan and getting carried away with my own thoughts.

    Anyhow Susan:  You've got my number and such.........if you need to talk give me a call..........if you want a weekend away............give me a call. I'm always game! (with DH's money of course!)  Or if you want to get away for awhile, you are welcome to come here and sort things out.  Seriously!

    I don't remember which site I saw the reference to someone from Margaret! Whoever it was................MOM..................Master of Munipulation!!  Speaking of our Mom's ofcourse.....none of us!

    Margaret:  Love the pics of your family!  Very nice indeed...........but I didn't see the bride or the mother of the bride!!  I'm glad all went well and you had a beautiful wedding.  Our's is in about 6 weeks...........(dress, what dress!)  Being long distance and not being the brides mom..........guess I just go with the flow.   I would feel much better if they atleast had a caterer!!!! I guess her family has something planned........but not a totally catered dinner.  Get this.........they paid $3500 for the club that the wedding and reception will be at.  Of course that doesn't include much....DS is kinda hinting for help with the Bartender...........Bartender cost $750 and doesn't include the drinks!!!!  Just serving lite alchol beverages...something about a insurance fee and a security guard which the club says is by law.

    We payed $700 and something for the DJ, they (DS doesn't care) aren't having the traditional rehersal dinner which we offered.  Her parents are having a outdoor bbq (what other kind is there!) because relatives outside of the wedding party will be there...just the way they do it !  I know all will work out and it will be a beautiful day...........but in the meantime.

    Charlene:  Hope you are feeling better!  I know you had a couple early appts today.....Audrey and then you.

    Robin: I know you posted on the other site, so I'll answer you there.  Just want to say to hang in there.........I feel so bad to see you so lonely and doing all for your self.  I so hope you come out and tell your ONC that you need Home Care to come in and help with your bandages/dressings for a few weeks.  I said Onc, but meant PS, sorry!

    Okay........I kinda feel like a truck ran over me and I didn't get his license plate number.  Took a two hour nap, but just made me feel yuckier.  And Obviously my mind/fingers aren't working as a pair today, cuz I have hit the 'backspace' to correct so many times I've probably timed out!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    Thanks for the plane trip info...man it really sucks to pack for flying these days. I've pretty much got myself packed for "layering" weather except for extreme cold.  I'm sitting here wondering if my OTC suppositories are going to make it through security. They happened to be wrapped in a very metallic wrap and danged if they don't look like large bullets!

      MARGARETB>I was told to take my tamoxifin when I go to bed. For awhile when I took it I felt a little weird as I would read for a while then go to sleep.  I think she told me to take it then so the worst of it would be over with when I woke up. I have the worst of the hot flashes during the night and not too bad during the day. Plus I take a lot of meds when I wake up for allergies and ISB, maybe these don't mix well with Tamoxifin?

    Colleen welcome back.  Glad that you enjoyed your visit with your sister.

    Jan - glad to hear that your hubby is OK.  Spider bites can be nasty.  

    Cheri - I was awake from a  little before 4 this morning.  Didn't get to sleep until 12:30 or 1 and then awake before 4.  We should have called eachother. 

    Vicki - like Jas, I haven't seen the new Vista.  I have XP too.  I have heard that Vista is plagued with problems and easy target for viruses.  But then, I don't know dip about computers.  Glad things went smooth today in the transition - tippin' my hat to ya!!

    Ok,took some strong pain med for my headache.  Haven't had one of those is a very, very long time.  Am sure it was from lack of sleep and stress.

    I have no idea what has gone down here the last day or so - seems many of us were getting post deleted - what???????  Jas, Vicki, shokk, shel - crazy!!!!

    OK, guess I need to think about dinner for hubby and myself - not sure my head/brain is able to think.  A teacher at the local high school just sent word with one of my student workers that her SIL had surgery for cancer.  The SIL and I were good friends and she moved to S.C. and over the years have kind of lost touch.  However, is one of those things that if we pick up the phone or she visits when she comes home, we just pick up where we left off.  I've got to call and find out but I dread making the call - I'm afraid of the words I will hear.

    Afternoon all. My home infusion nurse did her thing and left. BP was a little high but then I've not felt very well for a couple days. Not sick just out of sorts and my leg has bothered me. You all know that old blah feeling. I'm trying to shake it off though. Colleen has kindly offered me another pair of bootstraps since I've just about pulled the straps off mine by pulling me up by them so much. lol Thanks Colleen.

    Well, i started this post about an hour ago and got side tracked by a cell phone bill that's twice what it usually is. So I've been on the phone with them changing plans.  We also set up internet for the laptop too so that made it higher. So many plans. We now have more min. and in the Family & Friend thing.

    I probably should've just started this over because I'll bet there's been alot of posts since I started. I can always post again.

    Shokk, you talked about when you were married to your ex and his girlfriend called and said he was cheating on you both. Women can be just as blind as men sometimes. I never understood why the 'other woman' didn't think about the fact that if he's cheating on this wife he'll cheat on her too? And now we have Neesie joining our ex's harem, The boy got around.

    Shirls, I have that blasted old dial-up, too. It's the worst when i find a really great pic but by the time i can get it loaded and run back to post it....sometimes somebody beats me to it. Rats!

    Neesie, you say your gonna make a whole afghan all by yourself? My gosh, i remember not long ago when so many of us were learining to crochet....and I never made it. I still try though. I just can't seem to get back into it as many times as I have thought i got the turn back stitch right and it still turned into a triangle. No talent. Can't decide if it's my mind or my hands but i'm thinking it's that I'm just not good at...anything. lol

    Jazz, omg. I sure hope Marsha showed up to post. If she hasn't then i'll call her if you...promise....not to do the Jan Brady Whine! It's just that you're so darned GOOD at it.

    Hey to the rest. I need to go back and see what posts I've missed.bbl

    Hey dears. Waiting for phone call from insurance agent about my house insurance. Got a collection notice in the mail today. Apparently I owed them money and they canceled my policy in MAY

    Cheri I don't have dial up I have satelite internet. Which is supposed to be pretty good. But they have this stupid thing they call Fair Access Policy that limits your usage. I can still get on line but the load times are miserable. Waiting for high speed to come to our house. Hopefully by the new year.

    Jaz , thanks for that.  I'll hold onto that thought and hope (AlwaysHope Smile) that my nodules are from an infection also!

    Margaret, I take my tamoxifen at night.  I take so many meds at various times of the day and have sleep issues myself so not sure if that helps.  I take my Cymbalta in the morning.  Was told that you Usually sleep better when the a-d is taken then, even if it's prescribed to help with sleep.

    Neesie, Karl pays for so many things for Audrey as I get no child support (long story) and I haven't worked since Ava was born, almost 2 years now.  It's been Very hard but he doesn't want me to work and although I sometimes feel guilty I know I couldn't work now even if I wanted to.  If your DH feels about your kids like Karl feels about mine he doesn't mind paying for stuff.  Does he feel like they are his own kids?  I know we're in a different situation but I feel bad that you're feeling guilty.  Boy, I hope you aren't developing the flu.  Feeling like you've been run over by a truck and so tired all the time pretty much describes my fibromyalgia.  Hope you get well soon..hugs

    Marsha .. Where are you?  You know I'm thinking you're still on that houseboat having a blast.  

    Cheri .. Oh cell phone plans are a pain to decipher for me!  Are you still not over that time I posted that pic before you?? hahahaha 

    Okay, they ate dinner without me.  I better get going.  Hey to Wild/Jan, Colleen, Elaine and everyone from A - Z.

    I heard not-so-good things about vista.  like don't do it if you don't have to.......

    Angel hugs for you and I hope you get through this part of your treatment sooner rather than later.  It does seem like the after affects keep on coming.  I had to have a lung scan also.  My onc thought she heard something... I was fine. 

    Neesie, they are beings from another planet and I'll never understand them.  I have to decide if i want to keep living with one.  LOL  My DH comes across as a very nice person.  And he is, except when he is being a jerk.  He doesn't do that in front of others.  Hope you are feeling stronger soon.  I can so relate.  I hate working.  I can barely drag myself out of bed.  Just so tired.

    Margaret thanks for sharing the wedding pics.

    Wild, I hope your DH is doing better.  I've never had a spider bite, but eeewh!

    Brenda, hope the headache is going away.  I have suffered those suckers.  NO FUN.  Sorry to hear about your friend.

    Choca, glad you are being spoiled.

    Shirley that sounds like me.  I posted the car insurance bills on the board next to my computer and forgot about them for 2 months.  I just happened to glance at them the day they were due about 4:30 in the afternoon.  It was a mad scramble.  :)

    ok so tell me how freaking stupid this is. You all remember last year when my insurance company canceled my house policy casue we live in a forested area? Dealt with that. My agent...who we've been with for years and years....found us another company to cover our house. Paid 6 months in person at that time. So ladeda life goes on. Today I get a notice from a collection agency for $85.57. Called said collection agency and said what the heck is this for. Girl said came from your insurance company for non payment. Also told me that insurance company canceled my policy in May for non payment? WTF.....I never got a bill. I paid up front. Finally got ahold of insurance  company. Lady there said yes your policy was canceled. I said well thats funny cause no one told me. I never got a bill. I so don't get this. Turns out they had the wrong address. Now how the hell was I supposed to know they had the wrong address. It's right on my stinking paperwork?

    Anywhos just got off the phone with her. Previous policy was a special deal cause other agent got it for us soooooo and heres the kicker......BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A FORESTED AREA and don't have a fire hydrant within 1000ft of our house they want to charge me $1600 a year. I swear to goodness if one more stupid thing happens today I'm gonna hurt someone.

    Good evening sweet family,

    Peter...is must be time for you to get your silly aussie butt outta bed.  Wake up and grab some coffee and come tell us a tale.  All is well here...we have tightened the circle and everyone is safe and sound. 

    Decided it was time to return and tuck in my family.  I missed some of you that weren't at G's site...I love love love the Hamptons LOL! 

    Been such a long day...tomorrow should be better...Vista has many many downloads that I need to check into...it looks like fixes and such so we shall see how it goes.  I also get to escape work for a bit and return a phone I bought that I hate...can't hear a thing on it, it lights up green and you can't see the letters or number...just a lousy phone.  Taking Friday off so  I can help cook for the wedding I am photographing on Saturday...yup...gonna  be tired...anyone wanna come join me...all the free food and booze you can handle LOL. 

    Chilly around the circle with a real nip of fall in the air...not ready for this yet but here it is just the same.

    Popping in on Cheri to make sure she's washed her hands...I'll put the boys to bed for her so she can get some rest.  Don't you dare be getting sick on us...I mean it!! 

    I'm think Nicki has gone to bed so I'll tiptoe in and make sure she's covered...don't need her getting sick again.

    Jankay has been mighty quiet tonight...hmmm...me thinks she is napping...gonna jump on her bed and wake her up...too early for her to be off to bed.

    Colleen...thank you...you are such a doll.  You and I have so very much in common.  I knew it immediately and you can still call on me at any time if you need to.  That will never change.

    Denise...go to bed!  No getting sick for you dear lady...tucking you in with some hot tea with honey and some tylenol.  Sweet dreams and feel better in the morning.

    Angel...just gonna tuck you in with a very gentle hug and wish you dreams of brighter days.  They will come...I promise. 

    WildJan...spiders is one thing I don't do!  I really really really don't like spiders!  Major phobia.  Picture me...running screaming out the door at a daddy long legs...yup...no thank you! 

    I think I saw our BikerJan somewhere and she's been off looking at motor homes.  Oh I so wish I could win the lottery.  I would buy one of those so fast and me and Nate would hit the road.  We'd go from one end of this country to the other and meet all the wonderful women here.  What a dream.  Twin grandbabies...oh lucky you...looks like it's gonna be a while for me.  I do have an "adopted" granddaughter at work...she walked into my office one day and said "Hi Grandma Vickie, I love you"...I'd only met her once before but we are good buddies now and Nate is sending her his stuffed animals...she is only three. 

    Brenda...hugs to you.  Hope you can get rid of the headache...I'll tiptoe in and cover you up. 

    Choca...when are you coming home...hard to see you, much less cover you up LOL.

    Shirley...hope you get the insurance straightened out.  I have a terrible time keeping track since chemo...I pay bills twice and some not at all.  I'm getting a bit more organized though.  Are you sleeping on the couch...hmmm...maybe we need to find you a comfy sleepin spot till the bats are gone.  Sweet dreams.

    Shokk...where are you?  You can come out of hiding...I may have missed ya somewhere...who knows...been a long day...later alligator and sweet dreams.

    Liz...wish your tummy wasn't so bummy.  Wish I could make it better as you certainly didn't need to lose any weight.  Me on the other hand could stand to lose at least 20 lbs.  I swear I look 5 months pregnant...wth is with this belly!!!   I got your bordered squares today...I am so excited...I love this as I can whip them together so much faster.  It's great with my new gauntlet.  Sweet dreams to you.

    Madison...it's been tough to keep up with who needs afghans lately...do you have anyone else on your list other than the one I am doing now that I can start on?  You could probably use a break with everything you have going on. Miss ya...love ya.

    Tami and Melissa...thank you for all your hard work.  This hasn't been an easy place to be the past week or so but you managed to make it all better and pull us through.  We will behave ourselves and take it from here.  I'm sure the two of you could use a good nights sleep after all the changes and hard work here so I'm tucking you in tonight too.  Happy restful dreams to you both.

    ahhh...getting tired and still gotta go to the Hamptons.  I know I missed many...Amy...how are you doing?  Z...come sit and talk by the fire. 

    I love ya all...

    Sweet dreams and see you in the morning.

    Oh...one more thing... I  stopped alongside the road today and picked up a pretty cool wooden chair that had a free sign on it.  It was there when I went to work this morning but I didn't have time to grab it and decided if it was meant to be it would still be there tonight...It was!!!  It's a a really nice wooden chair with a padded seat.  Needs a new cover on the seat but is in great shape.  I needed a chair like this for my bedroom to do the seated yoga with.  I've tried sitting on the bed to do it but it doesn't work well.

    Anyhooo...my point is...I love the seated yoga dvd...if anyone would like a copy just let me know and I'll burn one for you.  its so easy to do and if I can do it then anyone can!

    Off to bed and crocheting for me....

    I loves ya all

    I think I'm glad I was awol today! Amazing amount of deleated posts LOL. Did we set a record?? SurprisedSeriously I hope the nonsense is over and everyone can feel comfortable again.

    I spent the day on jury duty. Didn't get selected for any of the cases. Tell myself that it is not because my chemo brain is that obvious. LOL Actually I'm glad I don't have to go back. Sitting in one spot all day was so hard on my poor nerve damaged legs. I think harder then being on my feet all day which is my usual. Home now and comfy and so glad to have a day off tommorrow.

    CY - I so hope your port problems clear up. Sending hugs your way.

    Cheri - Not feeling good? Well that's just not right. You straighten up and feel better now you hear. Hugs to you too.

    Angel - First I keep forgetting to tell you how cool your changing avatar is. Love it. Sorry you are feeling crummy and worried. Gentile hugs for you.

    Vickie - Nice to see you

    Now I'm always so impressed when some of you list all the names but I just can't do it. I'm surprised I remembered the above without notes. (Mabey my chemo brain did keep me off a jury) hehehehehe

    oh those hidden benefits to chemo!

    sherloc ........ i just got a notice today that my yearly household taxes went up from 1800.00 per year to 3000.00 per year!!!!!!!!!

     wtf??????? i bought this house in the boonies to save on taxes after my "dh" sold our family home out from under my daughter and i in the midst of our never ending divorce saga!

    they've made absolutely NO improvements in this township since i bought this house, my utilities bill is in excess of 400/month for water and electricity........... my hydro bill is over 175.00/month to heat the flipping place............. and this is a fairly new home with new windows and a new roof that i've replaced since purchasing!!!!!!!!

    i soooooooo hate dealing with this crap on my own!  but then again, i was on my own even when i was 'married' lol ............ what a shitty existence i've had for too long lol!  man oh man ......... my therapists are probably in therapy themselves!!!!!!!!!

    i'm a trooper girls ........... so enough of my pity party and back to reality!

    remember when dealing with difficult people:

    your feelings are facts

    your perception is reality

    it's my new mantra!!!!!!!

    NOBODY will ever belittle me again beacause i voiced my 'feelings'

    okay ............ being in true dvorce mode has made me emotional ........ but it's also made me stronger than i've been in years!

    thanks for listening!

    love 'all y'all'

    Vicki, I've always been a bit anal about my bills. I didn't forget to pay it. I never got it. I didn't even think about it cause I'd paid in advance. My other agent would have called me and told me I was late. Apparently thats not the way this new office operates.  Morons. I'm thinking if they didn't have my correct address then how the heck did the collection agency get it?

    Anywhos on a better note. Doc called. No more xrays. He says report also says definately no lesions so were just chalking this one up to crappy bones and leaving it at that. We'll see what new bone doc says in nov. Last one said every break had to be documented. Not sure if she meant by test or just by doctor?

    Have to take hubby to pick up his motorcycle. I'll be back.

    Wild Jan, how is hubby's spider bite?  I forgot to tell you that with all the ants we've been having hubby has been spraying under the house a few times.  Yesterday morning, early, I was laying in bed playing on the puter and picked up my purse to get something out of it.  Five minutes later I look over and there is this humungous spider on my bed - obviously I was no longer in bed.  I killed it - bugs have to learn not to invade my house.

    Vickie, thanks for the info on tamoxifen.  I'm trying to do whatever to help my sleep.

    Charlene, my onc. wants to switch me to an AI and also do a BRCA test, or at least counseling.

    Neesie, why don't they have a cash bar?  Usually when you do that, they have to make a minimum or they charge a bartender fee of about $200 for the event - oh my $700 for the bartender????  Girl, those are California prices.  We had no problem making the fee.  What kind of place are they having the reception at - oh, it's a club - hmmmm, and no caterer yet?  I would be getting nervous but it's their day and they are doing it their way.  I'll have more pics when I get them from my sister.

    Elaine, enjoy being spoiled rotten!

    Jan, I have allergies too.  I don't have a lot of hot flashes and that has me worried because somewhere on this site I read that if you don't have hot flashes, tamoxifen isn't working - of course, I forgot to ask the onc. last week.

    Brenda, hugs for your friend.  Make the call, you know she will appreciate it.

    Shirley, I hate insurance companies - doesn't matter what kind.  I paid my son's car insurance and it was due the 26th of the month.  I was off for the Christmas holidays and when I remembered, I sent a check about the 30th.  My voicemail at work says I'm gone until the first week of January - there is a message from his insurance company - do they call my house or my cell?  No - and they have my house insurance too.  They cancelled my son's insurance but didn't tell me.  I called AAA that day and got him insured; AAA couldn't believe the ins. co. had done that.

    Speaking of insurance, I assume you all heard that San Francisco is the first office in the country to implement a policy that will ensure all San Franciscans will have health insurance - they hope to have it for everyone by January.

    Vickie, I'd like a copy of the yoga.  I am doing yoga at work on Thursday nights and have to join the gym again.

    Shel, they almost doubled your taxes?  Yikes.

    Ok, on to the other site.  Back later.

    Margaret

    I notice that my post got edited by the moderators. I can't believe I would have said something that needed editting??????

    Onc is reffering me back to the Docv who put the port in. He will make the decision weather I need to get a new port, darn I didn't want that to happen. That would mean I would have to go back on shots so they could take me back off the coumadin. I DON"T WANNA!

    ok know what's up with the site it was really hard to get signed on and it's slow changing pages.

    going to try to go back and read more. but if I get kicked off again I'm going to the Hamptons!
