I Have to get my kitchen cleaned but wanted to say HI first...can you say procrastination??? LOL

Hmm...the Hamptons seem to be closed at the moment LOL. I am just popping in quickly to see how everyone is doing...
Marsha...WELCOME HOME!!! Geez...wondered where you had disappeared to. Florida trip tickets for myself, Nate and MB are bought...look out cuz here we come. October 13 through the 20th and I can't wait. Not sure where we will be staying yet but it looks like Wakulla Suites/Cocoa Beach. Hope you can join us! I am doing the Magic Kingdom with Nate too but that's probably it. Relaxing, walking the beach and swimming are all I need!
Extra prayers for our sweet Carrie...let all be well with her.
Hi to everyone...still have a few minor computer issues to work out but all in all its lookin good. I must say...this is NOT my job...I am the bookkeeper for cripes sake! They just don't want to have to pay the pro's...so they get what they get LOL!
Love and hugs to all
Oh...can you please pm me if you want a copy of the seated yoga so I don't miss anyone...thanks a bunch.

Jas can you pm me the password..........DebC so sorry about the shingles.........geez those are so painful........Gina thanks for the heads up on Carrie......Amy please check in when you can........well last night was "meet the teacher night" so I went to meet my daughters science teacher the one with the huge iguna (sp?) Godzilla and sure enough he is huge.......she also has two cockatoos and a big parrot and very large boa...........and some very strange fish......what's so funny is that the school janitor refuses to go into the classroom because Godzilla and the birds are loose.....the birds just fly around and Godzilla is very territoral so the teacher keeps the waste paper basket just inside the door so he can just reach his hand in the door and grap it...........the teacher sweeps the floor......for whatever reason the cookatoos have taken a liking to my daughter she saids the second she sits down the both come over and sit on her shoulders.......the teacher says it probably is the prefume she wears.........the kids in her class have started calling her birdgirl...........oh geez phone bbl.................

Hi everyone, I was beginning to be paranoid since I couldn't get into the Hamptons. I see we need a password now.
Vickie - I would love to have a copy of the seated yoga. My floors are hard. LOL
Brenda - prayers for you and your family. I understand how tired and stressed you are.
Deb - hope you're feeling better.
Jas - did you get my squares yet? I hope they work for you. It's cool there? It was here for a day and now it's hot again.
Donna - welcome home and I'm trying to figure out when I can get away for a day or weekend. It has to be before it gets cold and icy!
I pray that Carrie gets good results from her biopsy.
Gina - how are you feeling? I see where you had several doc appts. yesterday.
Hmmmm Nicki is AWOL. Oh I see she's having computer/internet problems.
Sher - well for heavens sakes! I remember last year when you were having to find new insurance. I love the description of your DH. His picture looks like he's a teddy bear.
Susan - how are things at home? Can I help in some way?
Cheri - you're almost done with the infusions! Woohooo. How's PT going?
Robin - my dear, you need home health! I hope you told your doc that. If not, let me know and I'll call him for you.
I'm missing many but haven't had a chance to read anything but this page.
Hugs from Amy to Z!

Good morning Circle. Hope everyone is having a good day. I finally slept last night and feel better today. I'll get my Potassium rx in my system and I'll start feeling myself again. There's a definite pattern in how I feel and my Potassium and I just never knew how important that could be. I started the rx yesterday and took one this morning so it shouldn't be long. My PT called and she'll be out this afternoon about 2:00. Yessiree, I sure am glad for Colleen loaning me that new pair of bootstraps to pull myself up by. hahahaahha I do not want to deal with this cos it makes my leg hurt. But hey...no pain no gain. (I always hated that phrase)
I tell you girls. Ever since I was dx'd I have lived in sort of a fog. Like here but not. I go through the motions but it's like it's not really happening to me. Maybe it's some sort of defense mechanism kicking in cos if I could actually "feel" what I'm living through I'm not sure I could take it. I just stick my head in the sand and tell myself that everything's gonna be alright and it'll be over soon. There are times though, that I can see everything so clearly. Like I've woke up from a real bad dream and images are sharper and my head is clear again....I Hate those times. hahahhahaha It's all too ugly. Tears of a clown.
Brenda, I am so sorry about your Mother being sick. My dear Mother is now in a wheelchair after a couple of full blown strokes. She'd had several TIA's before that. She was in a Skilled Nursing Facility for over a month a couple yrs ago. That was horrible! I was taking care of my MIL then with Alzheimers and I'd take her with me and drive teh 75 mile round trip every day to visit Mother. I'd make arrangements for someone to stay here with MIL and take a couple turns a week of sleeping in the chair beside her bed. There was a couple times we thought we were going to lose her and I that's one of the worst experiences a person can go through. I'm the younest of 8 so I'm a big Mamas baby. I'm praying for your Mother and for your family because I do know how difficult it is. I can't look at my poor old shriveled up Mama now without seeing the funny, black haired lady that raised me and has Always been there for me. Oh gee, sorry Brenda. All of you girls having sick Mamas has really made me stop and think of my own situation. That is something I am just not strong enough to handle.You gotta get rest though. Don't let yourself run down. Thinking of you.
Gee, am I spilling my guts this morning or what? This is not really like me. Maybe I just needed a "Whoosh". LOL
Shokk, I'm with you, I can hear the ocean calling my name. I'd love to feel the sand between my toes and lay out in the warm sun and swim. I love to swim and I haven't been in ages. That's the theme of my little board is the beach and all that goes with it. I need to go to Margaritaville and BS with Jimmy Buffett.
Carrie, sweetie I'm praying all is ok with your tests. I'll hold your hand like you've held mine. Everything's going to be alright.
Jazz, I can stand by myself as long as I have my boot on and I am bearing almost half weight on my foot when I walk with the walker. I'm so scared he's going to make me overdo it and I do not want to go through this again. Thank you for asking.
Good morning, Charlene, Vickie, Colleen, and Casinogirl.
Amy, where are you? Don't make me worry about you. Come out and play with us.
Marsha, You've come home!!! Yipee. We got a playmate back. Gee I missed you but I'm really glad you had fun on your trip. You were lucky you were gone and things are back to normal....well almost.
Shirley, I like your name. I had a narrow escape. My Mother wanted to name me Penelope (pronounced like canteloupe) Candance and then call me Penny Candy. OMG! My dad wouldn't let her so she gave me a common name but added a twist to the spelling. Yep, she's a funny lady. hahahaha I like Shirley Temple. I have a friend named after Tammy Whynot (Wynette) I call you Shirls most of the time but I use Shirley alot, it's uncommon. Be proud.
Hey to Iris, Gina, Janny, Odalys, Neesie, Boo, Gus, Deb, Margaret, MB, Madison, Z, CherylCY, CherylG, Liz, Susan, Deese, and my mind is just blank, I can usually remember most names but I know I'm missing people, oh Christine, Pam, I give up. Anyway wishing all of you a healthy day.

Shokk, sorry hon, not doing the nekked sunbathing till I get the uniboob off! Then lookout, do you think I will still be required to wear a bathing suit top at a public beach with no boobies?
hahahahaha Gina on the nipplys.
Vickie, will definately plan to hook up with you in Oct. My surgery is the 1st, so hopefully can make it over while you guys are there.
Carrie, hugs and prayers going out your way.

Oh Cheri we were posting at the same time. I think my days of being called a "playmate" are definately over. hee hee Hubby still thinks I'm hot though. He was always a buffet man anyway.
Did I just say that? Oops...................

Geez Marsha just sent me into a full blown hot flash........girl you made me blush and the next thing I know I'm hotflashing........Cheri I went to see Jimmy Buffett in concert with the ex once......ex loves Jimmy anyway I think I have never been to a concert where someone seems to just love to sing.......he just seems to love his job.......went to see "The Who" with ex had 7 row seats and for some stupid reason forgot to take earplugs.....I could not hear for three days after that concert..........Peter Townsend was such a shit........someone from the crowd handed him a British Flag and his comment was "just what I needed another f##king British Flag" what a ahole.........but girls I could not take my eyes off of Roger Daultry (sp)is that right..........my ex leaned over to me and said its hard to believe that Roger and Jerry Jones (owner of Dallas Cowboys) are the same age...........his body was perfect.....anyway don't even know how I somehow got onto this subject but I think it started with Jimmy Buffett....

Hi Girls!
I just heard from Carrie's DH
SHE IS OK!
The doc doesn't think it is anything to worry about. Of course they sent it down to the lab, but from what the doc could tell it was scar tissue.
I am just so happy for her!!!
THanks for keeping her in your prayers.
Love,
g

Good afternoon all,
Yes yes yes for Carrie...prayers are answered once again. Thank you for the news Gina. (and for fixing the Hamptons LOL).
Marsha...if you can't make it to us we will come to you...how is that? I felt fine and was back to work in a week so I'll hope for the same for you.
Hmmm...Cheri...wanna come to Florida with us...we can go to Jimmy Buffet country on the Gulf side (I know its there somewhere).
Well...dr's called (actually my nurse did)...my estrogen levels are at 30 (she didn't know any more about what that meant than I did), the report said post menopausal with ovarian function (?)(that confused her too)...thyroid test was ok. Doc said to stay on the Tamoz (boo hiss...was hoping for Arimidex)and we'll check again in January.
Have had this weird pain on my left side, just under where my boob would have been, kind of between my ribs. Have myself convinced its pancreas cancer. The nurse here at work laughed at me and told me that it was probably gas. Sheesh...she's probably right but it comes and goes all the time...give me a break. Canceritis at work again.
Shokk..later alligator
Hugs and love to all
Vickie

Hello Everyone! Yes Liz, I have been without my computer since yesterday morning, although it seems like a week. We had to wait for the comast guy to come and replace our box. I went absolutely crazy this morning. Sat in front of the TV drinking my coffee - Alone - without any of you. Made me crazy.
I dont have time to catch up, as I see we all have been talkative and its gonna take forever to read everyones posts.
Got a call yesterday and have an interview on site with the executive director for that position Ive been working on. Im getting so excited. I really think this is gonna be the one.
Increased my celexa like my PCP said and Ive been sleeping all night - but when I wake up - Im tired. Whine whine whine. Whine went I cant sleep, whine when Im sleeping too much.
I love ya all and will catch up in the morning.
Melissa and Tami - Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Back, insurance issue fixed, food purchased, and new shoes and a purse as well. It's been a good day.
Brenda, praying for your mom.
Shokk, I'll retire with you to the beach. Has to be on the east coast tho. West coast beaches suck beans.
geeez I'd be worried about my kid in a classroom with all those critters. My BIL almost got his nose ripped off (literally) by a territorial male iguana and I've had cockatoos. They can do some major damage.Sure as heck wouldn't want some strange bird sitting on my shoulder. I don't care how tame their owners say they are.
Apparently Marsha is not fessing up about tan lines. So were just gonna have to guess.Gina, saw your news about Carrie at the Hamptons. YEAH!!!!
Deb, procrastination is not doing your dishes for 5 days and running out. Took forever to clean the darn room yesterday.
Liz, indeed he is. A very grumbly OLD teddy bear.
Cheri, I am so happy you have finally got to the point where you can start PT. That is a good thing girl.
Hugs honey. in a perfect world the parents we love would live forever. My dear daughter is totally freaked out about my lastest broken bones. She told me the other day I better not die on her or she would be really pissed.
Now what the heck do you say to that?
Penny Candy? hahahahhahahhahahhahha o my gosh that is just to pickin funny.
Shirley ain't all that uncommon in the over 65 age group.OK so Marsha is confessing after all.
Buffet......O MY...you all are on a roll today.Vicki, your boob was down by your pancreas?
Candie, you went back to work fast.
NICKI! welcome back. Was worried about you. Figured your box blew a gasket. Dear me don't know what I'd do with myself in the morning if I couldn't come here.

good evening all...looks like I need to run over to the Hamptons to see where ya all are. It's pretty quiet here.
Shirley...darned if I know...the nurse at work said thats where your pancreas is located...just under your breast at the top of your stomach...left hand side. So I guess it means that your pancreas is up near your boobs LOL.
Geez Nicki...forgot all about your internet problems and thought you had lost your way.
Runnin over to the Hamptons...bbl...
Love and hugs to all

Evening All!
The boards are a bit slow today..........better not be timed out when I'm done!
Hope all are having a good day. Tummy feels better.......don't know what was up with that!
WOOHOO................found an outfit for my Son's wedding today!
Margaret: Well, AZ isn't to far from CA.....maybe that is what is up with the price! The Facility that they are being married at and having the reception has this "rule"...............I think I might call the place myself....for whatever good that would do. $750.00 includes Bartender, Ins.(required), Security Guard (required) Glasses, Ice and Straws. Ridiculous to say the least.
Shirley: Do I have to work you ask............Not to pay the bills I don't. DH has a wonderful job........and usually doesn't say much. He was single for so long and has everything set up for retirement, no problems there. House will be paid for in a year,,,etc. I just get this feeling sometimes that I'm not doing my share..............and yes, I do like to spend money. Like with the wedding coming up........he isn't complaining.........I just feel like I should be contributing more myself. We've been married almost 6 years, so the kids were grown and on their own (so to speak!) when we married. He knows I'm miserable in my job now and he just says that he doesn't know what to say. It's mainly me feeling guilty...........but I know he wishes I made some money.
Shokk: Amazing how the Narricist got around.............Mine was nothing more that a sperm donor and I had 3 beautiful children as a result!
Vickie: I'd like a copy of your Seated yoga..................do we like have to move body parts to do it or can we just sit in the chair??
Peter: Gotta read up on you...........think you were heading to bed the last I read!
Jasmine: Yes, as someone else said..........You always have our back!
Cheri: Your spirits seem good...............even if you needed to "Whoosh!"
Keep up the good work.........you're getting there my friend!
Marsha: You're back and you had a grand time!! Dh is a buffet man, eh??!!
Madison: Just saying Hi and hoping all is well with you..........I'm sure I'll see you iin the Hamptons before the night is over!
Nicki: I am soooooo Happy for you! When is the interview? We will chant, "YES, YES, YES" for you!!
Charlene: Hang in there...........you're just about done..(I think) Hope your cold is going away.
Colleen: What's up with the morning freezing? I hate that..........supposed to go back up to the 80's for the next week though!
Brenda: Sorry to hear Mom isn't doing well. Sending a prayer and a hug to you...........keep us posted.
Gina: I always say that "It's Nipply outside" too! Thanks for the update on Carrie............So glad all is A-OK!
Did I hear the Hamptons are closed for a bit??????
Liz: Hope things have settled down a wee bit with you.........how's the tummy trouble?
I have been to Cocoa Beach and I would love to go back!!!!!!!!!! We rented a condo on the beach..............layed back and beautiful!
Vickie: I don't remember what my Estrogen levels were last time they checked............I'm sure I have it written somewhere...............Gotta stay on Tamox though...........how long since you've had a period? Sorry that the Canceritis bug has a hold of you................you know he'll leave as soon as the Doc visit or pain goes away!
Alwayshope: How kewl is that Jas................Now I have no excuse for spelling errors........................actually it might suck!!
Deb: You deserve to procrastinate!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My goodness Girl......you go, go, go!!
Shirley: I do like your idea of procrastination..................!! Not funny that your DD says if you die on here she will be pissed..........but funny that I tell my Mom that too! A few years ago when she was out and about by her self..........I couldn't find her.............long story short....I told her that if I came over there and she was dead.......I was gonna be so mad at her. She said that thought didn't scare her to badly...........cuz she wouldn't be here to hear me!
Standard for me to tell my clients...................Not on my shift you don't!
Okay.......Off for a bit and then over to the Hamptons!
Hugs and good night to all!

Good evening friends,
Mom's stroke has caused some coordination problems with her left side. Her speech is better and drooping mouth is better; still can't walk without two people helping her. Late this afternoon they did an MRI of the head and a doppler of her carotid arteries. No report on those.
Occupational and physical therapy have been in to evaluate and work with her. She says she is going to go home when she can. She can't be left alone and not sure how we are going to handle this.
Thanks for the prayers and good wishes. They mean so much.
Tired, need to be there early in the morning to talk with the doctor about these latest reports.
Sending gentle hugs to all that need one. Brenda
