Margaret,
You have to use the USPO Flat Rate box.
If you use any other type of box they will charge you by weight times width/height, etc.
The first package I mailed to kay was over $25.00 because I used a 12x12x12 box I had purchased at the store. Now I use the flat rate boxes. Even if I have to mail two boxes @ $8.95 each, it is cheaper than the $25.00 for the one box.
Is the address you are shipping to have an APO address?

We have all made mistakes. I wish we could all forgive and forget. It's easier said than done, I know. But I think we are trying.
Scott, please come and visit us here anytime. My husband and I met you at Pinkstock. I know the two of you had a long "man" talk about something while we were off crocheting. We had the trailer and the little white dog. Enjoy all your wonderful memories.
hugs to all,
susan

Hi Madison, I haven't shipped a box since right before Christmas so I'm overdue. If you PM me Kay's address, I can send her a box - or is she the one who knows someone who doesn't get any mail from the states?

Dear Scott,
I have no words to help you except know that I care. Cheryl meant the world to me. I miss our phone calls, talks and sending her cards. BUT I know now that she is no longer in pain, isn't hurting and worrying. She is free. She is watching down amongst us and telling us in her own way that she is okay. She is............
Let us know how you are. One day and one step at a time. That's all you can do right now..........
Hugs
Liz

LoriFL - Hoping chemo kicks cancer's butt for you. You're in my thoughts.
Liz - Thanks hon. Thinking of you this week also.
Shokk - WTH? You are going blind??? I'm so sorry to hear that. What's going on?
I don't understand your comment which I'll quote ".........I personally think that the beach thread was a great idea..........I know that some don't understand what it is about but I don't think that Vickie should be continued to be harass and saying something about it and then comments about how great the beach is and implying that problems still are happening at the dreamers thread..........yes there are issues and for girls to be threaten that they can't speak to Vickie or Vickie's friends is a little much..........."
You are saying that when people comment on how great the Beach thread is that they are implying that problems are still happening at the dreamers thread. I'm not sure how you make such a great leap. I don't know of anyone being told they cannot speak to Vickie or her friends and you tying it in to your comment about the Beach thread is completely inappropriate. As far as you warning me about who to talk to and who not to I just need to say, the same back at ya my friend. I appreciate your concerns but I'm pretty well aware of who is trustworthy here and who is not. I'm my own person and do not let others influence me that way. Also, one person is going to destroy the Circle? I don't Think so!!!
((((Jasmine))))) Funny how others can pull you into drama you have no desire to be involved in. Sorry this happened to you.
Blue - Yes, it is very sad about my niece. I will Never forget her birthday. I don't think anyone likes subterfuge. Glad you felt well enough to contribute so much this morning and enjoyed yourself.
Susan - Well said
Madison - You are a sweet lady who is to be commended for your extraordinary work on the afghan project!
Margo .. Thank you for thinking of me today.
Sloanedeb .. You are always in my thoughts. You seem to not be able to get a break.
Neesie .. Hello girlfriend! How is PT going? Thinking of you too.
Colleen .. Thank you for your kindness. I do have sweet memories of my niece that are of comfort. I'm so glad to hear you received an afghan. What perfect timing to receive hugs of love from so many of your sisters! Thinking of you and will be with you on Wed.
Nicki .. I responded to you elsewhere but will do so here as well .. yes, it is so sad. Your post made me hungry. I'm going to go get a snack.
DebC .. You are so right about the rest of the stuff not being worth our time. Hugs back to you.
Hello to everyone else. Don't mean to ignore anyone, just not enough time to address each and everybody individually tonight.

Dear Scott -
I wish I had a way to make the pain go away. I can not even imagine your pain, but I want you to know how special I think Cheryl was. Your love for each other is a true example for all of us. I want you to know you are in my prayers. I pray that time will allow the pain to ease and that your wonderful memories will carry you through the dark times. I hope you keep posting....
Hugs
Deb C

Thanks Charlene. Wish I could have more of those mornings when I'm feeling well enough to do what the rest of you take for granted. Kind of hard to do things when one is in this state. I'm not that bad yet but getting there, so excuse me if I think some things are just plain silly.

It's 1:00 am here just north of Toronto, Canada. Just about to hit the sack, now that my daughter is safely home. She's 23 and I still wait up for her. Yeah I'm over-protective - it's the Italian in me.

Hey no problem Blue. I feel for you and although I don't have your issue I have my own issues that prevent me from doing many things that others can. I'm truly sorry for what you are having to deal with. We each suffer what we suffer. Hugs.

Hello everyone. I feel like Im in a cable car just visiting from place to place and trying to find enough time to talk with all of ya.
I dont have time to mention everyone individually, but Susan - I really agree with what you said. I think that we are all trying. So I say - heads up and lets put our best foot forward.
For those of you with muscle and immune system issues. I learned about something last week, I had never heard of before. I will copy and paste it here.......
I had an interesting case to evaluate yesterday. A young woman at the age of 44 who was diagnosed with DCIS and BRCA1+ 5 years ago. She had prophylactice bilateral mastectomy and then developed Fibromyalgia. She went to Mayo clinic because of severe muscle aches and pains and was diagnosed with:
Paraneoplastic Syndrome
These syndromes are a group of complicated degenerative disorders that are triggered by the immune system in response to neoplasms or cancerous tumors.
Neurologic paraneoplastic syndromes are believed to occurs when cancer fighting antibodies or white blood cells known at T cells mistakenly attach normal cells in the nervous system.
Symptoms begin to develope over a period of days to weeks to years. The symptoms may include
...difficulty walking or swallowing
...loss of muscle tone
...loss of motor coordination
...slurred speech
...vision problems
...memory loss
...seizures
...sensory loss in limbs
Severe muscle, neurological, and immune system disorders may be caused by this syndrome.
I just found this whole concept very interesting when comparing it to some of the things we are experiencing ourselves since our diagnosis.
I just wanted to add - that many times this syndrome occurs before the diagnosis of breast cancer. So maybe, just maybe - there are reasons many of us feel the way we do.

Leaving in a couple minutes, but wanted to send out a Good Morning to all!
Deb.......you're right......great minds think alike!!!!!!! I think that is great that they are coming out with a bigger box...........! I used the box that is like a big shirt box..........actually I usually use that one to ship squares in....most times it's a pretty 'squished' box full..........
Glad you're feeling better about things.........
Okay.......I really have to go............Doc and PT are waiting!
Hugs,
Neesie

Hi to all my friends here. I actually have work again for the first time in almost 3 weeks, which would normally be a really good thing. I tend to get nervous if I don't have a project for over 2 weeks, but this time, it worked out well with school vacation and all. I'm going to try to focus on the work to keep me distracted from tomorrow. I'm not telling anyone at work about this latest development, because I'd like to try to work through the radiation this time.
OK, just wanted to say hello to everyone. Sorry not to address each by name, please know that I do read every single line of every single post, and I care about each of you.

Good morning circle girls..........Charlene let me just say this and correct me if I am wrong because since the second week in January I have had some health issues and have been distracted but I thought that when you started the beach thread that Tami and Melissa suggested that you do that because of the undercurrents at the dreamers thread........and at the time I just thought it was a very good idea.....when you created the beach thread I again thought it was a great thread especially for you gals that have been having such a harsh winter......because of our past relationship and the insensitive things I have said to you trying to use humor which by the way can and is very passive aggressive I figured that it would be best for me to stay at the dreamers thread............there were some that jumped in the beach thread but felt like they were not welcomed there...........this is what I read ......I could be wrong......I just don't have the energy to read back......because Vickie continued to get emails from cg's suggesting that they not have a relationship with her and then to top it off for a few to get phone calls it made me realize that there was what I believed to be an outside force that was on a campaign to blacklist her..........that is really just it...........Charlene I think you created a very warm and inviting place and I would recommend it to anyone..........as for as my post yesterday I did cause pain for some girls that I am very sorry for.......I opened up some old wounds and poured salt into them and I am truly sorry.........as far as Vickie is concerned Tami and Melissa are now actively involved and I pray that the situation is resolved.........yesterday morning I went to my pulmonary doctor and he told me that the swollen lymph nodes in my neck are putting pressure on my eyes and that if we can't get control of the sarcoid that in 5 to 7 years I will probably be legally blind........Charlene that bit of news completely took me by surprise.......I knew I was having trouble seeing.......I feel like I am constantly looking through a "soft lens" but I had no idea that it was the sarcoid and it could make me loose my eyesight......again I apologize for the pain I caused many here yesterday.......I truly am so sorry..............Shokk

Good morning all,
I finally have a day off of work with noone else home so Popping in to catch up. I've been reading fairly regularly but don't post often any more.
I've been very busy with work. I'm back to 5-6 days a week. It's not that I really want to work that much but my finances really took a hit the past few years and I am always afraid that my ability to work could change at any time.
DS has also been keeping me so busy. He is in scouts, his high school orchestra, the florida youth symphony, and playing lacross. We have somewhere to be ever day. Gee think we are over scheduled?
I started taking Neurontin for my neropathy pain in my feet. It does help and though I am not 100% I am more functional.
Angel - Sorry about your niece and the sad memories yesterday.
Scott - Thank you for posting. I miss Cheryl greatly. You are in my prayers.
Colleen - Work was what kept me sane during my treatments. Hugs to you.
Shokk _ Sorry to hear the news about your eyesight. That must have been so hard to hear.
Madison and Liz - Squares are on the way to you.
Hi to Blue, Peter, Neese, Nickie and everyone else I missed.

{{{Shokk}}} .. It was because of the undercurrents on this thread, not the Dreamers thread, that I moved far away and started the Beach. It's purposely not even in the Moving Beyond TTCTW forum. I wasn't even posting at the Dreamers when I was having so many problems here. The Beach is a place for women whether they are a CG or not. I just wish people who know less then the half of it wouldn't post there opinions because they usually only know one person's side of it, which of course is always slanted. Also, that isn't what people want to read about on these boards. So Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I can tell that you truly regret hurting anyone and your apology is sincere and accepted. As far as your passive agressive humor with me I can take it. You are also a very sweet lady. You'd be welcomed wholeheartedly at the Beach. All the stuff that prompted your initial post yesterday is just that ... STUFF, that really should be handled behind the scenes with the Mods. It doesn't matter .... what REALLY matters is that you have a real fear of going legally blind and you need support from your sisters. You don't need to deal with the 'stuff' that's just emotionally draining and inconsequential. Your energies need to be on your health and well-being. I can only imagine how stunned you were to get the news. I hope you can get control of your sarcoid and know that doctors do amazing things these days. You're in my thoughts Shokk and I hope you stay out of the closet and keep us posted on what's happening with you.

As far as the boxes to ship to Iraq. Call 1-800-610-8734 and place your free order. You will get boxes, tape, labels, custom forms....all free.....you'll just have to pay the postage when you take the box to mail. They will send you 10 or 25 "flat rate" priority mail boxes too if you use those and on Feb. 20th they will have another flat rate box available.......12x12x5....which is nice.
Shokk-so sorry to hear about your eyes. I am thinking of you. You have alot on you and like Charlene said, you being healthy is the main concern.
Deb-glad to see you happy again.
Short post but gotta run. I am still out of work with the shingles just so everyone knows.

Shokk, I have a few ideas for decorating that closet of yours and we will all be there keeping you company and supporting one another!
Here is your sunshine for the cloudy, stormy days
Lots of food to see you through
Extra blankies
and our arms around each other showing lots of love.
Isn't this is what its all about?0 -
Shokk I am sorry I jumped on you yesterday. I was reacting to the same things Charlene was but I was afraid of causing too much trouble if I said anything. I really have no idea who is posting about Vicki and telling people not to be friends with her. I'm sorry that is happening. It shouldn't be. Ya know, the ole "let she who is without sin cast the first stone".
I hope they get your condition under control quickly and thanks to both of you (shokk and charlene) for discussing this is such a calm matter. Sets a good example for the rest of us.

Shokk - for god's sake quit apologizing ... and why is Char so magnimonious as to "accept" your apology. Who made her god and Solomon all in one. Char, Cheri, Susan and Jas are the gals sending emails, PMs and making phone calls about Vickie. The mods have been notified. All emails, PM's and posts have been copied, before being edited I might add, and sent to the Mods. And yes, Char was advised by the Mods to start a thread elsewhere. Many of us were sent notification by the Mods about that. We were told to "play" in our respective corners.
So, Char ... go ahead and make fun of me, call me liar, send out PMs about me, twist my words, copy my post and send it to the mods, get me banned, get your friends to hit the DELETE button ... who cares. Maybe you could even get your dear friend Hazel/Cheri to join in.
I have never done one darn thing to hurt you or anyone on this thread, but yet you can find the time to hurt so many people, laugh at me behind my back and make fun of others.
The last straw for me was when you had the audacity to compare your physical condition to Blues parkinson's disease.
I'm not going to edit or delete this ... call me a troublemaker or anything else you want ... accuse me of starting trouble all over again. I don't care. It will give you something to gossip about for awhile. Accuse me of not caring about all the sadness and terrible things happening to our sisters now. Those in pain know I care deeply for them.
