Hi Circle Gals,
Well, Jim Beam is here, charmin' as always. That "color flamed log" was a ripoff, looks just the same as the cheap ones...except I got it on sale....
You know, a lot of folks here think the Circle is a bad place cause of some very wierd stuff that happened a few months ago, but you know what I think. I think some of the best relationships start out wierd.
I bet we'll have this Circle goin 20 years from now and we'll all be laughing about September 2007!!! 
Here comes chili...Jill, where are you?

Thank you ladies. I wasn't sure what the deal was with my home state. Amy, I think the lady you're talking about is a friend of mine, not a real close friend but she steered me here for bc support. She is a funny lady if we're talking about the same person.
Susan, so you're from MO. too? How cool is that? I gather there's not very many of us by the reaction. lol I didn't quite understand the one lady but that's probably just me. You all refer to it as chemo brain, I like that, I'll use that alot now.

Angel Wings are delicious!! Very light...........you can almost eat them without guilt cuz they don't hit your stomach like a bomb! I'm sure they still do the damage to the gut.........but ummm ummmm good!
Amy: Please explain....................eating King Crab and looking for a baby????
Hope all have a good night..............nasty weather again.

Oh for lands sakes, I forgot until I saw my post jump up there. I want to thank a real nice lady, Mzsissy, for private messaging the beautiful picture of the flowers and suggested I could use them for my avatar. That was really very kind. Thank you again.

Good Evening: Just a quick pop in.
Susan: Great picture this morning. I have that exact picture and posted it last week here. I love that guy saying give me a hug. Its one of my favorites. I have some great pictures in my photobucket account - but sad to say, I made it private today.
Brenda: Good to see you and glad the bone scan sounds like it went ok. Although I dont know if fractured ribs are ok? I didnt realize you could get fractured ribs from RADS of all things.
Gina: Glad you popped in too. Hope all is going well with RADS. Gosh darn you must be excited. I heard there was a big celebration for the Giants today. I first of all wish it were the Bears and second of all cant wait to go watch the news.
Hope everyone has a great evening. I voted. I didnt know who I wanted until I walked into that darn booth. But I finially chose someone!!!

Well, if BC.ORG has something against all women with BC in Missouri we've got a real problem!!! Jill, hope you don't go away... now, according to your DX you're just about at the two-year mark....that can be a scary place to be. Hope everything is OK!

Hi Mzsissy, oh I don't take the MO. thing seriously I'm a laid back person. I just found it rather odd but I understand better now. I guess my being friends with a lady that used to be here bothers some but it shouldn't because I'm my own person and here for my own bc support. I don't plan on going anywhere I'm really liking all the nice people here and I can use the support right now.

Mizizzy ... I don't understand what you're talking about bc.org having something against women in MO with breast cancer. Geez, I hope you're joking!
I thought everyone was welcome on bc.org, even gals from VA. Hope everyone has a great evening ... off to check the election results.
love,
Bren

Binva, I don't think she meant it like that at all. BCOrg. has been very nice and I like it here. I think she might've gotten what a couple of women said mixed up with bcorg. that's all. I just go with the flow because I can't imagine anyone wanting to be harsh with anyone else on bc board. Everything's just fine. lol

Ok, Nicki I saw your comment about the photobucket pictures. Yes, it was your picture I posted. I didnt' think it was a big deal. You copied it from someone else didn't you. Sorry. It won't be a problem now if your album is private. Ok?

Good evening everyone. It looks like a lot has gone on since I was here last. I haven't been able to get on a computer since last Wed. night as my laptop power supply died and the replacement just came today. I am sorry to hear the news about Cy but was happy to see a couple of posts from her. I've got to read back and catch up but will be back.

I work part time at an elementary school library. Every day I have recess duty with the kinders through 3rd grade. I really like to get outside and have an excuse to play with the kids, but there is one part of the job that makes me nuts....
There is a big field where a lot of the kids play. One of the perennial favorite games it to make "houses" and play in them. In the summer the houses are outlined as squares on the ground made with rocks, sticks and pebbles. In the winter they use snow balls or chunks of ice. They have a whole little neighborhood of house in that field.
There must be something in human nature that makes all the kids covet an especially nice rock or perfectly round snowball from someone else's house. They snatch each other's house parts whenever they think no one is looking....that is how it starts...then the kids pick sides. They argue about who had the rock first. They steal it back, or tattle to one of the adults that people are steeling their rocks. They form little groups that spread rumors about the person who stole their rock. They plan raids to get the rock back. If they can't take a snowball, they will kick the walls of the house down. They tell intentional lies about the kid they think stole their rock to get them in trouble. I kid you not, it is like a little payton place. Pretty soon even the kids forget what started the most recent war....but still they battle on.
That, my friends, is what this thread feels like to me now. The undercurrents of bad feelings from rocks taken long ago make me really uncomfortable. The veiled comments and direct nasty attacks, the posts that are deleted out of spite....they just make me weary. I really like coming here. I like to hear about everyone's lives. I feel like you have become, in a very real way, friends of mine.
Like I tell the kids, it's just a rock. Let it go. Go play with your friends...
Hugs

And again all I have to say is hi.

Deb, Brenda-
this thread needs to be locked and archive-only.
everything it was has been destroyed.
it was a beautiful thread...
it had the most wonderful intentions and it fulfilled them until it became infested.
it had the largest number of hits and responses- more than any other
it started a whole forum
from this the afghans started and pinkstock
if anyone cares anything about preserving the GOOD of this thread, they should delete all the pages since the board change-over and lock it.
BCO would then have something to show that is in perpetuity a beautiful and loving place.
Start a wagon circle part 2 if you want.
but if for the love of heaven-
save the good, delete the bad and lock it and preserve it.

This thread is like life. Not everything that happens is always good. I cant go back and delete breast cancer out of my life. It is just something that happened. Someone may come along and read the entire thread and get something out of it. We all learn in different ways. I'm with Deb, its just a rock.
Mizsissy-nice post.

We are all saints and sinners...none of us is totally good or totally bad...sometimes we are angels and sometimes we fall off track, but the important thing is that we remain critical of ourselves and refuse to judge others on appearances alone...because there is no way---especially on the internet--that we can know another person's life and say to ourselves that someone else's feelings are invalid. I think we all deserve to be here.

Hey all,
I'm going to push my technology "know how" to the limit, and attempt to copy and paste this post to a few places.
I have "met" many women through bco, and particularly through this Circle the Wagons thread. I was accepted with open arms, and as far as I know, I am liked, at least well enough anyway, by all. (Please don't feel the need to disabuse me of this notion!
) I feel like I know many of you well, and some of you just a little bit, but no matter what, I'm always happy and interested to hear about what's happening in your lives.There was a time when there would be little "scuffles" in the Circle, and I was truly oblivious of who had an issue with whom. (Who? Whom? Who can help me out with that? LOL) Well, while I'm sure there is much more that I don't know, enough has been laid out on the table so to speak, that I no longer have the luxury of being in the dark. And what I've realized is that it is too hard for me to hear your anger and sadness - with each other and with what the Circle has lost. Anger and sadness with cancer, rotten insurance companies, rotten bosses, etc., I'm OK with, but not with each other.
I feel like I've said this before (and that means I may have, thank you chemo brain), but the primary reason I'm just a reader, not a poster anymore, is that I don't feel comfortable posting. I don't like the fact that I might be percieved as "choosing sides" or "making a statement" with what or where I post. And even though I try to keep my importance to you all in perspective (it's not like I think people are runnning around keeping track of what I say, and making life decisions based on it
), it still bothers me a bit.So for me, I think it's time to try to focus on something else for a bit. Maybe scaring myself up a date even! I wish every single one of you nothing but the best. And I will still be around, reading, hopefully reading about happy things and lots of time with NED, but in the bad times too. So, this is by no means some sort of grand farewell, or an "I'm taking my ball and going home" post. I just feel weird not saying anything. Like leaving a party and not saying goodnight to the host or something.
Hugs to all, A to Z!

throwing logs on the fire and going back to the kitchen where I love to cook for you all....
peace love and happiness...to my family...yes you are more than friends...

Earlier today I posted something from my heart - I apologize.
I have always felt that I have opened myself to each and everyone who has approached me. I am not a mean person and do not post mean things.
I in no way meant to offend or hurt anyone with my post. It was meant for no one and I regret posting anything.
May you all go forward with your lives and enjoy each day. As someone said - each day is a gift.
God bless you all.
Liz

Thank you Liz. Best to leave the rocks on the ground and start rebuilding a community house again. I for one, am joining MB cooking since it is my favorite pasttime. Then I will be in the craft tent finishing up the sweater I started for my niece. My errands are post-poned due to a conflict with my stepson. I think I may spend some time in the pissy tent with a tumbler of Mudlsides. I will make plenty for all!

Well I can help you with that mudslide you got there.
Liz very nice words! You are not one to speak up and avoid conflict at all cost so it means even more to hear you speak up.

I personally don't seem to have to worry as I get no reaction here at all.
yes...its is a sad sad shame.
I would not and have not ever intentionally hurt anyone...if I have...I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Its back to the comfy couch with me.
love, hugs and prayers...whether you wish for them or not...its all I have to give.

I just want to say thank you to Liz for saying it so well. I feel as if I could have written those very words. Nobody should be getting hurt when coming to a breast cancer support site to be with other breast cancer survivors.
MB ... your words are always so calming and you can really feel the love you have for everyone.
MizSissy: You say it well also. mmmm angel wings sound heavenly.
Pat: welcome back, you may be glad you had no computer for a few days.
It's just a rock is good. Mudslides are good too.
