    Nice pic Jan and thats different for sure. 

    Kathy-no idea what happened with your log in.  You might want to shoot Melissa and Tammy a pm and ask. 

    sloandeb-everything is good here today.  I hope you are feeling ok as of late.

    Just popping in before the onc appointment.

    Susan-I am your friend. Heck I as far as I know I am everyone's friend here and plan to keep it that way.

    Wild/Jan-You must make a calendar for next year and sell it on EBay or something. My sister is an Ebay expert. I really think you have an amazing eye for great photos.

    Everyone from A-Z thank you for your prayers. I probably won't have the results from the bloodwork until next week. Happy thoughts please.

    Hey all,

    Well, clearly I didn't make it back with a post last night. I did some reading, and then just wasn't in the mood to post.

    Shoot, can't scroll back (being lazy) so will try to remember: Charlene, Madison, Sue, Amy and darn, someone else, thanks for the congrats on Warren. I do have some great pictures, but I have only successfully posted a picture here once, a long time ago. I'll see if I can figure it out again. He really loved the experience, and yes, he's a little sad that it's over, but is looking forward to the April school play already.

    As far as the ruckus, I'd like to say one thing. I am guilty of being largely oblivious to alot of what's gone on. In addition to being oblivious, I've also tried to ignore it. As someone said above, I like all the women I've met on this site. Not one person has ever said or done anything to upset me or hurt my feelings. So, I just tried to chalk any fighting up to some sort of long-standing grudge I knew nothing about and ignore it.

    More recently, some folks have said, "I am upset about what X said to me, or to Y, or whatever" and that's pretty easy to see. But the "behind the scenes" stuff is a little lost on me. What I do know is that it's probably at least 50% of the reason that I don't post much anymore. While no one has ever directly said anything to me to upset me, just reading some of the posts directed at others was upsetting to me.

    So, rambling I think, and not adding much value most likely. But, here's my "one thing" I was going to say about 30 things ago LOL

    I post here on bco and sometimes on Gina's no surrender board. I started posting there when bco was down all the time, and basically, I generally don't have the time to post in both places. I usually only post in the Circle thread or the Triple Negative thread in both places. I have no ulterior motive, nor am I trying to make a statement, by where and when I post. (I don't even know what that means? People post to a thread for a reason other than that they want to say something? Like to make the thread busy or something?) And that's part of why I don't post much, because I don't want my post to "mean" more than it actually does.

    I guess I don't want to have to feel like I need to pick one site or one thread, or that I have to worry that I am offending someone by the company I keep so to speak. It also scares me that people are being hurtful to each other. Makes me just kind of question everyone I guess, and I hate that.

    I have no good ending to this post! Moving on, I hope...

    Sloan Deb I wish I could answer your question but I have no idea what it would mean.  Did you try googling it?  Can you ask your oncolgists your questions?  What is the next step they are saying?

    I know you get tired of fighting and I for one totally understand that.  I get tired of it also but we can't give up cause then the beast wins. 

    colleen-so glad warren enjoyed his play.  I enjoy reading your post and don't let all the crap get to you.  Its not worth it,,you know that.  Not sure why it was brought up about the posting cause I didnt understand that part either but I do know BCO was here for me when I needed them most and so many people answered my questions when I was a scared newbie.  Now I'm a scared metster and still getting my questions answered. 

    BMD-good idea about wildjan making a calander.

    Hey Amy! Thanks, I always smile when I see your name/posts.

    Actually, I pretty much smile when I see all of your names and posts! And yes, I've been accused of being "too happy", but it's better than being too cranky like Lucy Van Pelt (that would be Linus's big sister, from the Peanuts gang - sorry I have Charlie Brown on the brain still!)

    Colleen .. So nice to see you!   It's sad that it's suggested that there are ulterior motives for more posts here.  There could be many reasons for that and wasn't it back in November when it was slow when the upgrade was being done and people were all over the place.  That's neither here nore there and I for one am just happy to see everyone but I understand exactly what you are saying in your post.  I think a lot of us feel that way.  What is the next play that Warren will be doing?

    Good afternoon Campers!  Its been a sunny day on this side of the circle and when I go outside the air is fresh and crisp.  I wish it could be this way all the time.

    Colleen -- so glad Warren's play went well.  Did you get video or pictures?

    Madison -- how are you. 

    Angel -- you know I really did buy a Get Well card for you and just found it again on my dining room table.  I think I'm going to send it anyway even though your surgery was a while ago.  I'm very sorry I didn't get it sent but my thoughts for your speedy recovery and prayers were genuine.

    MB -- are you still enjoying your stay at Niagra Falls?

    BMD -- how did your onc follow up go?

    CherrylH -- how is my knitting buddy?  I really miss your posts.

    Susan -- I really enjoyed meeting you at Pinkstock last summer.  I hope you consider me a friend.

    WildJan -- you bring real beauty to the circle with your fantabulous photos.  I'm going to get that camera this weekend.  I can't wait to start taking pictures.

    Candie -- how is your cousin doing?

    Neesie -- how are you doing?  How is that new grandbaby?  I'm looking forward to seeing many more pictures from Grandma.

    Lucy -- welcome to the circle.

    Amy -- its nice to see you back on BCO regardless of what brought you back.  And I mean that sincerely.  I would love to see more farm pictures.  How are the goats and donkeys doing these days?

    Puppy -- sweet sister.  I think you are doing great on the no smoking.  I'm still down to just one soda a day.  I still need to work on drinking more water.  But one step at a time, right?

    Well, hugs to all from A to Z.

    Hi

    A rainy mix with wet snowy night here in NJ. I am working my 12 hour day today...done at 9pm. But the upside is I can be on these boards from 5-9--love it!! I do front desk duty during these hours.

    BMD...I think it's a great idea,too, for wildjan to do a calendar.

    Wildjan....what do you think? Such gorgeous pics

    Charlene...thanks for sharing those beautiful quotes.I did not know that about tamoxifen (I am on arimidex) and my cousin is taking that. I will mention that to her.

    Jas,thank you for asking about my cousin. She went home today. She said she is in more pain than she expected and is eating the pain killers. But she is up and walking around.

    Slondeb, don't you dare give-up. I am praying for you to keep up the strength in fighting this beast. Keep us posted,please.

    My love to everyone.

    Have a good restful night all.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Jasmine:   Aww, it's okay and I know your thoughts were.  You sound like me .. I still have Dad's birthday card buried on my counter and his birthday was Dec. 21st!  Thank you, I would still love to receive it!

    MZ:   I love that quote too and I thought it was quite fitting.

    Barb:  Nice of you to stop by.  How are you doing?

    Candie:   It's my pleasure sharing the quotes.  So you're a Jersey girl!  Are you close to the beach?

    BMD:  I hope you can check in and let us know how your appt. was today.

    Susan:  I am definitely a real friend of yours.  You are a sweet, funny lady!

    Hoping everyone from A - Z has a peaceful nights rest.

    Coming in for a quicky. My onc appt went good. My blood looks good. I won't have my tumor markers until tomorrow or Monday but my onc is not worried about it. I did run into an old friend there. He had gone through treatment for Leukemia. When does it end.

    Well I am really tired. I will check in tomorrow.

    Hi everyone

    BMD:  Glad to hear your appt. went well.  I have never known my tumor markers.  I know some Onc's do them and some don't.  Sorry you ran into a friend with cancer.  Hugs.

    Wild/Jan:  Nice pic.  You can make a nice coffee table photo book with all your images.  You and SoCal. 

    Liz:  Isn't Today SuzFive's actual birthday?  LOL 

    Jas:  Where's your bright up and at 'em post this morning?

    INKathy:  Where did you disappear to girl?

    Sahalie:  Missing you too.

    Neesie:  Good morning

    Amy:  How are you this morning?

    Good morning Circle!

    Angel -- so nice to see a morning post from you.  I haven't had my morning coffee yet so my 'up and at em' has 'gone and went'.  Going to go get some coffee and see if its there.Tongue out  I'm having major sinus issues these last few weeks and I took some benadryl last night before bed so I could breath and that stuff has me really groggy this morning.  If I take Sudafed before bed that stuff has me all hyped up and I can't get to sleep but I think I prefer that to groggy.

    WildJan -- another lovely picture.

    Brenda -- glad the onc appointment went well.  I'm sorry about your friend.  Cancer sucks big pickles.

    Morning kids,

    Another cold day here.  It's off to the grocery store then run some errands.  Everyone stay warm!

    Jas - benadryl does that to me.  Hate it.  Feel worse the next day than I did before. 

    Hi Candie - good to see you

    Charlene - I do believe today is SuzFive's Birthday - SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jan - great pic as always. 

    Hi everyone else - this is a quick run through. 

    Have a great Friday! 

    Hugs

    Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the day.  Yesterday we had a snow storm and it took me 2 hours to get home from work! Today, the sun is shining and it's 45 degrees!  Go figure!  Not much happening in my end of the circle.  I'm working on my squares and just trying to relax.

    Wild/Jan, I love, ,love, love your pictures!

    Charlene, how are you today.  I can't wait to see the next Angel picture from you.

    Hi there Madison!  I really did teach myself to crochet and I'm working on my squares.

    Hey Amy, how are you?  How's Mazer doing?

    I'll check in later.  Everyone take care and have a great weekend!  TGIF!!!!!

    Hi Angel

    Yes, the groggy is gone.  Don't think I'm going to do benadry again when its a workday the next day.

    Liz -- what is wrong with your wrist?
