    Morning Circle Girls!

    Getting ready for Thanksgiving at this end of the circle. Desperately trying to find smoked bluefish so my fiance can make some smoked bluefish pate thing for his sister (he does it every year, I think you either love or hate that kind of thing, my face is pretty scrunched up at even the thought of it LOL!) Really looking forward to the hoidays this year though, despite the madness - actually, I refuse to allow any madness - as last year was pretty much a bust!

    Want to sit down and take notes when I have time so I can really catch up with everyone, but just wanted to say again (Thanks Deb for the Thanks and Giving thread!) how thankful I am to have re-discovered this board, and most especially the CGs. I think it came at a time in my life when I really NEEDED something to get me over the hump.

    Peace,
    Colleen

    Shel,

    It's the "time of year". Everyone is supposed to be all loving and happy. You'll get through this, you will. Focus on what you have. Do something special just for you and Mac. Start a new tradition. Something you can look forward to doing next year with her. Look to the future. You can do it!!

    Good morning everyone,

    Been away for a few days after my run in with the oncologist (i am being nice when I call her that). The nurse called me on Friday and we had a long talk. She remembers many of the things that was said that now my oncologist is denying. She understands my feelings and is there for me and understands why I fired my oncologist. She has me in the hands of another one and said if he isnt good we will move on to the next. Thank goodness for the nice nice. I have got to do something for her to let her know how much I appreciate her being there for me.

    I am also doing my best to not stress about the things on my ribs because they could very well be false positives and no need to stress yet. I will know more after the comparison of the skeletal survey.

    I didnt take notes since I have been away for a while so forgive me for those I leave out. I am thinking of you all.

    I did get an IM from Mena and she is improving but just in a funk and says she thinks of all of us. We have all been there in the funk so I know we all understand it. Lets all send positive vibes toward Mena to help get the Mena back that we all love.

    thanks to everyone that joined in on the ranting and raving I was doing and the look on my ex oncologist face after distored humor left her was a pretty site. Mazer is still laughing about it and hopes she matures to pull off some of the stuff distored humor does. I think it might be her first love.

    Shel-I dont know if I would call it love. I think it is just what you were used to and change is always hard. Hang in there girl and lean on us when you need to. You have so much going on and its so easy to reflect on the way things were even if he was a jerk.

    NS-Thanks for starting this wonderful cirlce and your words are wonderful.

    AlaskaDeb-Whenever you create that travel package for Alaska be sure and send me a brochure on it. That is one place I am going before I die and nobody is keeping me from it.

    Susan-Better get busy on those stars as this circle is growing.

    Speaking of I need to go check the map to see where cheryl put me after she increased the size. I may be hanging out in the ocean some where. oh my!

    Alabama weather is cold today. We were 20 degrees this morning at 730 and had snow flurries yesterday. i think Friday is predicted to be 70 degrees, go figure.

    Thanksgiving is coming upon us quickly. As someone previously mentioned I will be thankful for the cirlce girls and the wonderful friendships it is allowing me to create. mazer the tazer is happy too because without the cirlce she would have never found Distorted humor.

    ok my apologies for those I left out but my brain has all it can handle right now. Love to all! Amy

    Good Morning Girls. It's a glorious grey gloomy day here. Glorious cause I slept from 8:30pm till 7:00am. Gee do you think I was tired.
    Got a call yesterday from a volunteer of American Cancer Society. Took my fried brain cells most of the day to figure out they got my number from Relay for Life rolls. Duh!! Anywhos, she said she was calling just to check on me and see how I was doing. We had a lovely conversation. She said she was a 22 year survivor. How cool is that.
    Off to work out then take a friend to the surgeons. Something about a bad colonoscopy. She is very frightened. Only 42 and has an 8 year old daughter. Prayers for Joanne today please.

    Vicki, a grand idea your daughter will keep in her memory forever. Not to mention your son. I say go for it.

    Robin, hugs hon.

    Cy, hope your cat is ok. Sniff sniff, a beautiful tale.

    Hi Christine.

    NS, thank you so much for starting the circle. Beginning my day with you all makes my world brighter.

    Madison, enjoy your daughter. My baby is in the Navy. This is is second holiday season away from home. I am missing him.

    Shel, don't have an answer for you. Can only offer my shoulder which is a bit boney but still sturdy.

    Brenda, beautifully said, thank you

    Hi Deb

    Nicki, I'll be praying for you this evening.
    Think I'm just gonna deal with the flashes for now.

    Laura, Blue Cross isn't to bad. I've had no problems with them.
    Hire someone to clean the toilets.

    Jeannie, Hope Sunshine comes soon. Love the nickname. Our munchkin was guppy before birth. Huge eyes on ultrasound. He still looks like a guppy as a matter of fact. Prayers for a smooth delivery for your daughter.

    Colleen, what is bluefish?

    Have a great day everyone.

    Shirley--
    Going to A.C. Moore right now to buy yellow t-shirts and paint to make "Team Sunshine" T's for the SIL, Mom, Doula and me!

    Deb---I'm always in such a hurry---keep omitting telling you I'm so glad you are feeling better. We are all so used to your usual sunny self and I was so worried about you. And you're right---doing for someone else will pull you out of a funk every time. Learned that one when my niece died.

    Shel---another thought. Have you thought about counseling. I know it feels like you are the only one who has ever experienced this but divorce actually follows a pretty predictable pattern. I was very surprised to learn that myself and I was a counseling major! My divorce took WAY too long and my counselor was the best investment I ever made---also got my daughter into a program specifically for children in that situation (she was 17) and it helped her immensely. Call your county mental health association if you don't have contacts yourself---they can get you pointed in the right direction. It's the strong people who recognize they need some help and can accept it. As you can tell, you strike a chord with me and I think and worry about you a LOT!

    Hi girls,

    I’ve been in the “pissy” tent for a few days. Not sure why either. I’ve tried to read all the posts so forgive me if I miss someone.

    MB, OMG! What part of the body am I trying to work doing the “She hates me’s?” Wow.. that was a true site to see. Thanks for the recipe hon.

    Debbyfive, You have so much more going on in your life than I do. Please feel free to join me in the “pissy” tent. I have lots of comfort food in there. Hugs.

    Karen, I do the same thing. How are you? Oh , I’m great thanks. Boy would I love to tell them the truth. It’s just not worth it as “they” just don’t get it.

    LauraB, so nice to meet you. Welcome to the Circle.

    Tracey, how did the visit with the lawyer go? I’ve been thinking of you. Hope you get this settled soon.

    Vickie, like Nicki, I tried several different anti-depressants until we hit the “one” which happens to be Lexapro. Give yourself some time and you’ll find the one that’s best for you.

    CherylCy, LOL. I loved that. Thanks a lot. I go to the map daily.

    Robin, so glad you’re healing now. Of course he doesn’t want to leave. His true colors would be shown then. Hang in there hon.

    Jeannette, Christine, Susan, good to see you guys. Hope you’re well.

    NS, thank you so much for starting the circle. It is a daily treat to me to come here.

    Madison, hope you rested well.

    Shel, big hugs hon. You’re going through what is normal. Try to remember that your life is going to be so much better and richer now. Holiday’s seem to make what you’ve been through a little tougher. Try to stay busy sweetie.

    Brenda, I’ve been thinking of me during last year. I was in chemo, bald and didn’t enjoy anything. I’m trying my best to be able to enjoy this year. So far, it’s not working.

    Sher, so glad you have a nice weekend. When do you leave for the cruise? Prayers are being sent your way for your friend Joanne.

    Jeannie, babies are wonderful! I saw my 1 month old great niece on Sunday. She is precious. Of course I had to spoil her a bit.

    Colleen, I went to the store earlier to get Thanksgiving groceries. What a mad house! Should have gone in the middle of the night.

    Amy, I’m glad you’ve got a new oncologist. Sounds like the nurse is a wonderful person. Sure hope everything turns out as a false positive.

    Prayers for CatherineF as well.

    Mena, I miss seeing you here.

    Where is Peggy, Lini and everyone else.

    Heading back to the “pissy” tent for now. Somebody come rescue me!

    Hugs
    Liz

    crap crap crap...lost the post

    Liz, no pissy tents...come on too much baking to do...sent the GBM recipe...make one just to abuse, bite off the leg then the head...great therapy...lol... ps she hates me works just about every muscle you havent worked in awhile...lol.
    Nicki...keep up the walking..you can count after the holidays...maybe santa will but a pedometer in your stocking...lol...but don't give up on the wall push ups and the she hates me's
    Amy glad your back...

    ok now for the long winded part..sorry...
    I just wanted to share some of my Gram's wisdom...she raised 10 kids with no hubby and live a long wonderful life...I miss her but i know she's watching over me...laughing wathing me try to knit...lol...wish she were here...my new boob would be so perfect...lol..
    ok her it goes for what its worth...
    1. dinner isn't over till the milk's been spilt...so use plastic table cloths...lol
    2. people come to visit you, not your house....no one eats from the toilet so if its clean enough for you then its clean enough...Now if you invite somenone cleaning is importatnt but they still don't eat off the floors either..
    3. if a freind shows up at your door, all they expect from you is a warm hug and maybe a cup of tea...they won't judge..

    I figured this is how she handled all the craziness in her life and it has helped me...
    good luck to all...try not to stress the holidays...

    Shel...we must take care of our selves first we have no time for negative vibes...keep your head up...

    Just got home from doc appt with friend. She has papiloma virus and high grade dysplasia. Doc talked about the new vaccine and gonna watch her closely for the other. Phew!!!! To much stress.
    Thanks for the prayers girls.
    Just spoke with my endo finally. Spine xrays are clear, no fractures. Blood work all good. Yehaw, perhaps we can turn this bad bone thing around.

    MB, tell the boss your busy. Your gram was a wise woman.

    Jeannie, is your daughter delivering at home? Mine has for her last two. Truly an amazing experience.

    Liz, I leave on the 29th for florida. Gonna spend a couple weeks with my family, then hubby flies in on the 8th, ship sails on the 10th, back on the 18th.
    Throwing you a nonpissy rope. Grab on and give it a yank.

    Afternoon Everyone!

    Nicki - Funny, I kind of knew not to even go there about this board with my gal pals this past weekend. I know one of them would get it (she frequented a board for infertility & adoption issues for years), but the others don't even want to acknowledge that the bc ever happened. Just want to hear, "I'm fine!" Oh well...

    LauraB - woohoo for NED!!

    Jeannie - great advice to Shel and Shel, so sorry you're feeling so down right now. I know for me, once the divorce was happening and there was nothing I could do about it so I stopped trying to "save" my marriage, I realized the divorce was the best thing for me! (Not the best thing for my son I don't think, though I do believe he's better off with us apart, he would have been even BETTER off with 2 parents who loved each other and were together! Not to be though...) Anyway, this is a hard time of year, and it's not like this is the only thing you've got going on. Stay strong, believe in yourself and take care of yourself. And when you can't take care of yourself, lie on the couch and have a pity party (or do whatever it is that makes you feel better!)

    AlaskaDeb - totally get how doing for others helps you feel better, and never for a minute thought you were doing the, "look at me, aren't I great!" LOL (I know people like that, you're definitely not one of them!)

    Amy - so sorry about that stupid onc! Glad to hear you have someone on your side and I agree, easier said than done, but try not to worry in advance, it really doesn't change anything. (But if you're like me and can't help it, here's hoping that you feel silly for all that worrying when the results come back A-OK! I'll take that feeling any day!)

    Shirley - 22 years! Thanks for sharing that one! Bluefish is a rather yucky, oily fish that really no one likes, that for some reason people smoke and then eat on crackers and the like. Smoked bluefish pate is the same yucky fish, all ground up with cream cheese and onions and some other stuff people spread on crackers. Ummmm... I'll take a piece of cheese any day!

    DebbyFive - thoughts and prayers for CatherineF and her husband...

    Liz - Sorry you're still hanging out in the blues tent - what can we do? If I knew a joke, I'd tell it to you!

    OK, off to do final laundry/clean-up before Thursday. My plan is tomorrow is fun baking day (pecan pie, sweet potato and mini marshmellow thing) and relaxing - anything that isn't clean by tonight isn't going to be!!

    LMAO @ "pissy tent" LOLOLOL

    I just wrote a long post and then lost it!! aargh

    I haven't been posting much lately, but have been reading at LEAST every other day, usually every day. I come to the CW thread and a few others.

    I have been living life! I finished rads, went on tamox and other "stuff"(read - effexor) and one morning I woke up and wanted to do something. I have been revelling in housecleaning, yard work, socializing, having friends over and other fun stuff I hadn't had the energy for in the last year.

    I went through/am going through kind of a rough patch these days...my 18 year old son who I have spoken of often is moving into a place with a friend at the end of November. I am so excited for him as I remember what it was like at 18 and to have your whole life ahead of you!! We are really close, however, and I will miss him desperately! How is it that you make something your priority for 18 years and then shut it off? It's weird. I'm handling it okay, though...learning more about myself than anything I think! He's super-responsibile and ultra-independent so I am not worried about him at all, will just miss him.

    I have to say I love coming to this thread and seeing that someone has mentioned me specifically (where are you? we miss you) and it makes me feel so good! The CW thread has such a warm tone always, and I feel a connection with it and the people here.

    ((((nicki)))...that's for always asking/worrying about me...
    ((((liz))))....that's for also asking about me...

    and
    (((((shel))))). Get down with your bad self girlfriend....! You DID IT! I am so excited for you...you have so much to offer and I am so happy you're not going to waste it anymore. To hell with Captain Fantastic...you're "Wonder Woman"!!!

    ((((everyone else))))...you ROCK and you're AMAZING!!!

    I'm always around...

    OMG! I dont have much time. Boy does that sound familiar? I keep saying it every post. I have the "dinner" tonight. Half 1/2 hour before I leave. Already took a xanax and my heart is still going pitter patter.

    Peggy!!!! You just brightened my day. I had the biggest smile when I saw your post. Actually Im still smiling. Oh to be 18 y/o again. What fun. My son was on his own and having his first child at 18! That was 39 years ago. I now have 4 grandchildren. I had him young and he started young. So now, at 56 y/o I could be a great grandmother. OMG!!!! I always had this joke that we would grow old together. Be in the same nursing home lol. When Im 76 he will be 60. When Im 86 he will be 70!! You just brightened my day. I sure do miss you.

My daughter is in Florida and I'm in NY so we only see each other a couple of times a year which really sucks but...she loves Florida...is happily married...has wonderful inlaws that take good care of her so it's ok...as long as she's happy I'm happy.
    Rough day so I'm gonna go hang out in the pissy tent so move over ladies. I'm hogging the champagne fountain.

    Peggy,

    It's so nice to see you again! Be happy about your 18 yr old moving on with his life. I have a 24 yr old that just can't seem to get it together. Any ideas are welcome, I'll be in the pissy tent, too.

    I can see already that the pissy tent will need an addition and a restocking. Let’s see, just what do we need in the pissy tent???

    I’ll add a dartboard that you can put a photo of anyone you are exasperated with on, a big old punching bag, and a stack of journals and markers so you can vent on paper. How about a table full of finger paints and paper?? I added a hot tub out the back tent flap and big wine table just inside the door.

    Does that help?? Anything else we need??

    Ok everybody I have spent most of this day cleaning so I am tired but I wanted to come on and say hi.

    Peggy its good to see you. we miss you.
    Shel I'm sorry you are feeling so crappy. I think Jeannie had great advice. He just isn't worth any of your energy. That will sink in and you'll be all "how could I have been so blind!!" Hope that day is sooner rather than later. If you want to be pissy, there's always room in the P tent. that may turn out to be the biggest tent. LOL

    hugs to all.

    Ok now that winter is here I can just see the tepees attached with tubes like a big hamster maze so we don't have to go out in the cold!

    Picked Scooter up from the vet. He's joining the gals in the "pissy tent". He is mad because he can't go outside for at least a week, he has to wear a cone on his head for a week, he has a shaved foot and a drain that I have to clean and move twice a day, he really hates that part! That goodness he only had an abcess in his pad and not some broken bones so it only cost me $260 that I didn't have.

    I finaly realized I'm a little anxios about tomoorws appointments. I have my 6 mo mammo & CT. I also have the first blood test since I went off the blood thinners.


    Shel, you don't fall out of love. But it does get easier to move on as time goes by. We are here for you sweetie

    Morning ladies,
    Staying in the pissy tent but intend to move out tonight one way or another...love the idea of the dart board and the punching bag...boy can I use those. We will take good care of "puppy" (and boy do we all remember those drains!)...hope he likes to cuddle. And yes, he does look a bit like the rest of us in the tent except I believe he may have more hair then some!
    Hey Lini...I'll share the champagne fountain and I'm bring a stash of chocolate. Maybe we need some medical marijauna, ppfftt LOL. Just imagine what a bunch we'd be then...never tried it and would be too chicken to anyway but that with a combination of wine and champagne could be interesting.
    Love and hugs to all

    Good Morning Everyone: Hope your day starts out with a smile. Im tired today. Too much yesterday. Work and then the dinner - which was very nice by the way. I think that is the 1st time in about 15 years that my sister, brother, and I sat down at a table and shared a meal together. Well - they ate! I didn't! The same thing happened to me this year that happened las Thanksgiving. As soon as I got a whiff of the Turkey I lost my appetite. Now this is really making me mad! I used to love turkey. But ever since chemo I seem to have issues with turkey. Actually all poultry!

    So I told my sister and brother about taking a xanax before I left and how I have issues with social gatherings. My schizophrenic brother goes "are you depressed." Then went into a whole explanation of how withdrawal can be the first sign of depression. I almost fell off my chair. My younger brother - giving me advice. But the thing is, its not depression. Its post chemo anxiety I think.

    Vickie: Hmmmm medical marijauna. Now lets see, that would be in a pill form called "Marinol." Yeppers and this one is legal lol. It is available for people who are not eating, whether it be from chemo, old age, etc. It seems to get rid of the nausea and enhances your appetite. I have seen it given to people in their 80's lol. Anyways, I tried to get some myself, but since chemo made me eat like crazy and I gained 30 pounds while I was on chemo, the doctor said No Way. Ah but when there is a will, there is a way.

    OK so its official. We now have a pissy tent. I have added a microphone and some music to do some good old fashioned karioke. Got some songs too. Think I will sing "Sisters - by the Eurythmics."

    Sisters are doing it for themselves
    Standing on their own 2 feet
    And ringing out their own bells.

    Next: "Im mad as hell and Im not gonna take it anymore."

    Ahh ya see, I feel better already.

    MB: Thanks for the recipe. I read it out loud to my husband who is the usual cook around this house. And he goes - forget it - go to a bakery and buy some. Now that defeats the purpose of the cookies being a sentimental Christmas present.

    Speaking of the Holidays. I celebrate Christmas, but our group is multicultural. So if you dont celebrate Christmas, please share with us your Holiday. I know there is Hannika (spelling) and ramadan (spelling). I think it would be nice if our circle has decorations and celebrations for everyones Holiday. Now if you live in the USA, then tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And I learned that if you live in Canada you already celebrated your Thanksgiving I think on October 12th. And if you live in another part of the world, you probably dont celebrate Thanksgiving at all. So please share you stories.

    LauraB: Oh my! More surgery? Yuck! My PS wanted to do more surgery. Nip here and there. But I said no - they are perfect as far as Im concerned. The side that had the cancer is smaller than the side that was prophlactically removed. I see my PS on the 29th of this month. Gonna tell him thats enough. No nips, no nothing. Im done. No I wish I could afford him to remove all my extra fat that is all over my body. I cant believe you are having a house full of people for Thanksgiving, while your recovering. Hope your not doing all the cooking.

    Colleen: Oh my.. Smoked blue fish doesnt sound too good to me. Guess you acquire a taste for it. My husbands family? They delight on Herring. Cant eat that either. Smells to fishy to me.

    Sherloc: When I first read your story about the telephone call, I initially felt angry - but then by the end of the story I went awwww! Nice to hear from a long term survivor.

    Jeannie: You sound so excited about the new grandbaby. I can see you standing there staring at your daughters belly saying "Ok its time to come out. And I mean now!" Good luck and enjoy.

    Amy: Mazer the tazer and Distored Humor are a good match. Mazer the tazer thinks she is a race horse and Distored Humor wants her so bad he thinks he is a donkey!!

    Lini: Oh i have added another thing to the pissy tent. Its a man bending over with his butt in the air. So anyone can go over and kick him in the butt. Its a good stress reliever for a goofy husband, or a 24 y/o who doesnt want to leave home.

    DebC: Oh my the list for cards is growing. My goodness - and I dont usually send out cards - sounds like alot of work to me.

    Anyone on the list who wants a Hannika (spelling) card? Please let us know.

    Susan: my goodness you are a busy beaver. House cleaning - hmmmm - that doesnt appeal to me! Would rather work on crafts and come to the computer. Glad Im not having anyone over to my house on TG.

    CherylCy: Oh your poor baby. If I had to do that with one of my cats - oh they would be so mad! Took my dog to the vet cause of fleas in September. Told them I was hard up for money and make it cost the least amount. Walked outta there with a bill for over $500.00 dollars!

    OK. My time is up. Gotta go to work. "another day, another dollar, makes me scream and want to holler.

    Take care and catch up with you all later.

    Good Morning,
    Boy lots happens in a short time here! Don't know if I can keep up.
    DebC, your additions to the pissy tent sound wonderful. You have a great imagination. Ladies, make use of it all so that you may enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow. BTW Deb, noticed you are on the map twice way up there, did you get lonely? lol. You are not the only one doubled up (there are 128 names listed when I looked this morning, WOW!), and if you click on your person you can delete it if you want.
    Nicki, glad you had a good meal, even if you couldn't enjoy the turkey, and that your brother was lucid too. Are you still exercising?
    Shel, everyone has given you good advice. Remember that the men in your life don't define who or what you are, so love yourself first and do what is right for you. I've been there too. Hugs and prayers.
    Laura, congrats on NED. Hope your stitches came out without difficulty. Don't overdo it for Thanksgiving!
    Jeannie, anxiously waiting the word of your "Sunshine". Wishing everyone well.
    MB, your Grams had good words of wisdom. Sounds like a wonderful woman.
    Amy, glad you have someone on your side in finding a new oncologist. I see mine today for first followup and have to find out what his role is in my care. First visit I was so relieved at 'no chemo, just tamoxifen' that I didn't ask a whole bunch of questions like that. Hopefully he's good, cause he's the only one in town!
    Sherloc, so glad for your good blood results and xray. Have a WONDERFUL time on your holidays (can I squeeze into your suitcase??lol).
    Colleen, glad you had a good weekend. You should bring some of that baking to the 'pissy tent' cause that would cheer them up.
    Peggy, good to see you. It is hard when kids move out on their own, but at the same time, very exciting. My two oldest are on their own (actually moved in together this year!! and haven't killed each other yet, lol). My son is 14 and will probably be the hardest to let go. I hope he is as prepared as your son.
    Cy, we'll be with you for your visit today. Poor kitty, he really does look p'd! lol.
    OK, I know I've missed many. Sending hugs and prayers out for all that you will be healthy and good for your Thanksgiving.
    Lynn
