Illinois ladies facing bc

Hello to everyone. Just wanted to say that even though I dont post as much I try to at least read *our* board everyday.....being back to work full time has really cut into my *do whatever I want* time.
I am having my bone scan this Saturday.....and the recent posts gave me a lot of good information and reassurance....odd how all docs are different....mine insists on a baseline bonescan just for part of my medical records, I told her it freaks me out to have it and that I dont want to do it, and all she says is " But you will......and I will" I am completely asymptomatic and actually starting to feel like me again so I hate going back into the world of tests......so anyways Lisa you and I will do this together this week and be done with it !
Trying also, to stop reading ALL the boards except this one.....each and everyone one of you are so wonderful and so good at living life ! When I read the other boards,,,one post leads to another and another and before you know it Im doing a general look up on some horror story that but for the grace of God could be me.....not healthy when you are trying your best to BE healthy .
One week on Arimidex......feeling great ! *laughing* I know.....be patient , see how it goes as time goes on, but I COULD maybe maybe not have any side effects to speak of.....Im being religious about the Calcium, Vit D and magnesium , watching what I eat like crazy and have even starting 30 minutes on the treadmill every night.
Im sending in a resume for a job as a BC Nurse Navigator.....not sure Im ready for such a thing but it would be a way to give back and to help many women the way so many have helped me.
Thinking of all of you and looking forward to a lunch date....
Best wishes to you Carol for a safe ride through another round of chemo
love

I am still here.....Just been skimming through messages. Just don't have enough time in the day. I went to the plastic surgeon last week and will not be having my tran-flap surgery until after my son's wedding. He is concerned about my blood clots and I need to be on Lovenox for 6 months. So I have 2 more months on the lovenox. He thinks I should see a hematologist to see why I am getting blood clots. He says I am way too young to be having these problems. So I see my oncologist on Thursday and see what he has to say about it. Now I have to go find a dress and some boobies for the wedding.
Also, I will be getting a sleeve and gauntlet for my left arm. I am not looking forward to that. But have to do what needs to be done.
We went to Michigan this past weekend. My mil turned 80 and we had a surprise birthday party for her. She was totally suprised and shocked. It was a great time.
Well,,,that's about it for now..

Laura...at my three miles a day, it would take me 13 days to finish the walk! LOL
Thinking of you Carol as you go for your next chemo this week! You can do it!
Wendy, I also love Jodi Piccoult. I've read most of her books. I need to check the list and see which ones I have missed and search them out. I also like Mauve Binchey. I've never read anything by Rosamunde Pilcher or James Rollin. Does he write a mystery or is it sci fi oriented? I need to put them on my list authors to read. I scour the yard sales for new or different authors every summer found one this last year that I really like. I bought P.J. Parrish's "A Thousand Bones" and couldn't put it down. I'm always on the lookout now for more from him. I've really read a lot of books this fall and winter. If you haven't read any Lisa Gardner books, pick one up. You'll be hooked. I've read them all and there's not a bad one in the bunch!
Well, it's been a busy day. I've been waiting to hear from the doctor's office about whether they're going to give me any more meds for my sinus infection, which is much better but still holding on. At this point, I think that I won't find out now until tomorrow. Why is it so hard to pick up the phone and call us back? Grrrr........
Well, I'm done for the night. I hope everyone had a good day and enjoyed the political coverage!
Catch you all tomorrow.

Susan....you may feel free to read what I wrote to your class. I hope no one thinks I'm holier than thou....but being raised in an even smaller town than Centralia......I was born here but lived 4 miles away in a very, very tiny town called Glenridge---with 200 people, I did not actually grow up knowing anything about prejudice. I knew there were people of color living in Centralia....but we never saw them. When I was really young....I guess I thought they went to the stores at night. We did not do any shopping at night. It was only years later that I found out that they had their own stores in their PART of town and we never went there. Still.....no one ever really explained things to me so it was with huge surprise that I learned later that there was so much divisiness. I am not for it.....wasn't then and I think I will never be. It just sits on me all wrong.
As most of you know since I talk about the V.A. ---- when I was in the service ( early 60's ) the only place they had Basic Training at the time for Army women was in Anniston, Alabama. The people of color had to sit in the back of the bus and in the bus stations they had their own drinking fountains and rest rooms. What a shock !!!! For a naive' 18 year old ( obviously never away from home before ) to see and experience this was difficult. I'm sure many of them accepted their status-quo...but I thought whatever burden they were carrying.....I was carrying one too. Anyway do feel free Susan to use what I've said if you can or see fit. It it never right to do anything to degrade or lessen others.

I fogot what I wanted to write about earlier *laughing*
my husband is finally MUCH better, we are still picking shards of glass out of his face but his voice and mental clarity are back to normal, a little bit of trouble with short term memory but that should clear up soon too, he is still freaky about driving and my friends and I are all a little bit the same way since his freaky accident.
I have been having nasty problems with my sentinel node incision.....but Im thinking its pretty common since its just such a nasty place
Now I think I said all that I have to say

Morning! I like this graphic for today, following the inauguration. I know it will take much time and effort, on all of our parts...but hopefully change is in the wind.Rita...re: James Rollins, think Dan Brown and The DaVinci Code.
Susan....I have that Jodi Piccoult book! So I will start with that one today...
Jan...my snb was actually done thru my breast incision as it was so far under my arm anyway so I don't have a 2nd incision line there BUT...according to what I read here, that incision was the most painful. My underarm, 2 years later is still rather numb. Good luck with the BC nurse navigator. The one at Delnor used to be one of my chemo nurses and she is great! If you wanted to talk to her re: the job and what it entails, I am sure Mary would love to talk to you! Just tell her I sent ya!
Carol....did you try Crystal Lite lemonade? Well...#3 is history...only 3 more to go! Hang on there, girlfriend!
Ginny...do you have LE? I don't (yet!) so my rad onc was very comfortable with me going to a med. supply house and being fitted for an OTC one. I have the Jobst brand, size small and they are very comfortable and ins. paid a nice portion of it but they weren't too bad anyway...$56. a piece, for peace of mind. I only wore it while flying but I probably should when exercising or mowing. But I don't.
Jackie...I loved your words and your stories. You have had quite the life and observed so much. I hope you are writing all of this down for Alyssa.
Blackjack....how was it back at school?
Laura...I don't know about walking 39 miles! Are you kidding, girl? I walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes and my back hurts! How about some more details tho.....
Need to get some new curtain rods for our BR, and some light bulbs and check out some paint samples...oh goody! I get to go to my fav store...Menards and maybe Lowe's and Home Depot too! Lowe's has some beautiful tropical plants that I want to get but I think the poor little things would freeze between the store and my SUV! Maybe tomorrow afternoon if it gets warm enuf.
Have a wonderful day! Need to get things going as one of my exercise buddies is coming home with me for breakfast....blueberry muffins...yum!

Good morning all.....wow is all I can say. Yesterday was such a day and I am rather glad that all the excitement ( well most of it ) is over. A very stimulating day all-together. Until reading Wendy's post I had not stopped to think ---- in some ways and for a gal who was raised in a little one-horse town til' the age of 18.......I have had lots of experiences. Lived lots of places including Anniston, Alabama, ( my first home away from home ) all the way to Santa Barbara, California and then back here -- with many stops in-between. I saw the disparity ( colored only signs ) between races as well at the 60's love-ins. Much of my life has been fairly quiet as I think for my station in life it should be.....but lots of moments to ponder --- some crimes and trials that so stand out....like Charlie Manson--which is now quite some time ago through Ted Bundy and O.J. Simpson. So much to learn and decipher......and yet I still recall as though it were yesterday...and long before I left home or even had an inkling I ever would.....the beautiful warm afternoon I and my sister and a friend took a blanket and walked down ( probably a couple of miles ) to a reservoir hidden way back in the country. Once there we opened the blanket in a field and lay down to rest and reflect on who knows what....whatever young girls reflect on I suppose.....but it was not long and watching the big white fluffy clouds drift by and my companions become quiet, I soon was more a part of those clouds --- drifting and un-aware of time. Only my body remained on that blanket. These are the things I won't forget --- when we are able to stop our mind from making conditions that we then have to deal with in some way....we can be as light and free and perfect as the clouds we are able to drift upon.
Now I hope no one feels the need to call anyone wearing white jackets --- it is just sometimes that I feel we don't say some of the things we can because of the response we feel we might get and yet some of these things have left indelible imprints and I know help shape the people we are. This is the problem we have with the very incredible --- almost not to be believed --- power and wonder of the human mind. We begin to exercise control ( and in some cases that can be good ) over everything we say and do based not totally on ourselves...but based on the perceptions of how we think it may appear to others.....and sometimes we may be losing some rather good parts of ourself. I think that is why it is so much harder for me to get on a cloud and travel around today. Since my cancer experience.....I'm working on getting as many of my little parts back and just being the me I used to be...or I guess as the old trite saying goes....Let It All Hang Out.
Ok....nuf' of that...Wendy, did you ever open a can of worms, huh !!!! I hope all those having txs are doing well with minimal side-effects.....Elf-Song, how is it going.....and Carol/Berry and of course, Wendy TY and SameDayNurse/Jan who is just finished. All those too trying to get totally through the bronchitis. And then there is marathon Laura.....39 miles --- I'd have to have a couple vacations along the way.
I'll find a quote here and be checking in later and hope no one shows up at my house that I wasn't expecting.....

Hey Ginny....when IS your son's wedding? Gosh, I didn't know that you were still getting blood clots. We need to talk more often, I guess, or we need another lunch date.
Jan, I think you'd make a perfect BC nurse navigator. I understand your desire to "give back." I feel the same way, but just haven't found the way to do that. It seems like none of the organizations in our area want your help unless you do benefits or other things that bring them money. Then they certainly have their hands out. I can't understand it. In all the years that I taught, I never turned down a volunteer and some of those volunteers ended up making me look pretty good! :-) I had hoped that the Reach to Recovery program would be a place where I could connect but I guess it's not that active in this area either. Maybe one of these days I'll stumble upon "my niche."
Connie...when do you leave? It shouldn't be too long now!
Sending good vibes to you gals in treatments and those of you getting scans this week. HUGS!

Wanted to say hi this a.m. before I am off to work....,.hope that is not a sigh of relief I hear....Ok, I'll try to behave. Woke up to a ringing phone at 2:30 this morning. My friend needed someone to come get her. Never heard of this....a vein down by her ankle just let loose ????? and she had to call an ambulance to take her to the emergency room. Hope all is well with you today Maggie. Her house was pretty messy from this but her cleaning person ( thank goodness ) will be there this morning. I'm going to be a little "tired" at work today but I am so glad she called.
Hope all of you are getting ready for a fantastic day....warmer they say and I was glad to hear. Later on in the week-end we could get an actual snow....wonder of wonders. I don't call what we have had ( two very short incidents ) a real snowfall. Now hope I don't have to eat my words from a huge one.
I'll be checking in after work. See you all then.

Jackie - Hope your friend will be okay...scary how things just "happen". Nice that you were there for her.
Wendrew - I'm worried...where are you? lol I rarely - if ever - beat you here! Although...perhaps you're shopping for a dress for my wedding! lol lol lol
Hope you're all doing well. Have a great day!

Wendy, I'm with Laura. We're worried whenever you are late checking in. Where are you?
I just need to quickly share something with you all, and it's very sad. A friend's grandson, 16 months old, was apparently killed by his daycare worker. It is incomprehensible to me, and impossible to imagine the pain this family feels. The wake was Tuesday, and they had filled the rooms with beautiful photos of the child and his twin. It truly was a celebration of his life, and not a dry eye in the house, and it seemed surreal that there was also that small white casket...
Having trouble sleeping after this one, and thought of reaching out to you all for prayers for this wonderful, grieving family.
I'm heading for the airport to pick up my daughter from NY, and the other one is coming in tomorrow from Madison. They'll only be here until Sunday, but I can't wait to hug them! Life's too d*** short.
Love you all, and thanks for listening.
Pat

Oh my gosh, Pat! How devastating! My heart and prayers go out to this family. This kind of thing is NOT suppose to happen! I can surely see why you are having trouble sleeping.
Enjoy your daughters. You are right. Life is just too short and very unpredicatable. HUGS!
Jackie...so glad you could be there for your friend. That's what true friendship is really all about. I hope she gets along O.K. now.

Morning! Jeepers..sorry I worried you guys! I was getting the MB ready for painting as I am so tired of the green...it's going neutral beige. Nice to know I'm missed tho!OH PAT...that was the story on the news, wasn't it? What a tragedy. You are so right...we never know what's lurking ahead for us so treasure these moments while we can.
Jackie...you are such a good friend! I guess I too would get up at 2:30am to help a friend, but I sure wouldn't be as nice as you about the whole thing!
Laura...no, of course I wasn't out shopping for your wedding! It is a done deal! And I didn't get invited!!!!!!!!! (for you guys....this all comes from facebook! It announced Laura as "now Married")
Need to get back to my project...hope you all enjoy the warmer temps today...they will not last!

Hi everyone!
Jackie - that happened to my mom when I was a teenager. My dad was out of town (which he rarely was) and I woke in the middle of the night to hear my mom calling me. She had horrible varicose veins and one of them ruptured. Apparently, she had been calling me for quite awhile but I did not wake up - normal teen behavior. So, she made her way down the hall and was able to get on the phone to my sister who came over to take her to the ER. I woke up right before my sister got there. She ended up having surgery a few months later to take care of her veins.
Pat - I read that story in the paper Sunday and was saddened. What a horrible, horrible tragedy. Prayers to the family.
We leave Saturday for our blissful 5 days on the islands. Can't wait.
Jan - glad to hear your DH is doing better. Sounds like a miracle to me.
Hope everyone else is doing well!
0 -
Pat - That is so awful! I can't imagine how painful that must be for everyone involved. Gawd...what's going on lately with murder, child abuse, etc. I hope you can manage to have a wonderful time with your kids this weekend.
Connie - Hey - what can I say... OTHER THAN... HAVE A GREAT TIME! OMG... kiss the sand for me. The story about your mom is so scary... thank goodness she was alright after it.
Jan - I'm glad too...to hear your dh is doing better. Wow...that is still such a freaky accident. I have warned all of my friends to steer clear of plows!

Pat:
I too heard that sorrowful story on the news. They pay the daycare workers so little and so few are educated. Some are just not equipped to work with youngsters or the elderly. I am sure this story puts terror in the hearts of all working parents. One would think that her co-workers could pick up on her imbalance to do such a thing. I hope you find solace with your daughters. I just cannot imagine!
Take care,
Susan

Sometimes we feel that we've got to climb a mountain or raise a monument to leave our mark on the world. What we fail to recognize is that often we make a difference simply by existing, by handling what life gives us. Maybe the way we deal with our challenges and our rewards inspires someone else to achieve worthwhile things in their own life.
Blaine Lee0 -
Pat...prayers to your friends.....truly sad that these things still happen that cause such pain and torture to so many. I too heard this on the news and felt an inner jolt while the story was presented. Parents try so hard to find care for their little ones but as always there is no guarantee and you may still find yourself subjected to a very personal horror story like this one. In time people go on, but who knows just how long the grief will last. So prayers, love and healing from my heart to theirs.
I'm tired but needed to find a quote for us --- for me too. Toying with the idea of running back into town and checking on Maggie....then home to iron something to wear tomorrow --- bath, jammies and my recliner. I'm too tired to be hungry so I'll grab a piece of cheese or a graham cracker and peanut butter. Had to feed Baby Boss too.....mainly why I came home rather than going to Maggie's while I was still in town.
Hope you all have a good evening. Hi to everyone not posting today....hope you are well....just busy or recuperating. Glad your daughters will be with you for a couple days Pat.....it's good medicine.

Morning! 27 out there...heatwave....Jackie...how's Maggie doing? Is Allyssa coming for a visit soon?
Rita...how's your cold? It should be all gone by now....and what questions do you write? DH and I watch "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" once in a while....and no, sometimes we are not! But don't tell DH's students!
Elfsong/Caroll...how is chemo treating you this time around? I know how hard it is to understand or believe it when we tell you...but the time really is going by fast. Spring is coming...and you will be feeling so wonderful. Just hang in there....Hugs!
Laura....How's CASA going? Are you still enjoying the work?
Blackjack...where you been, girl? I am guessing too much work at school....but hope your flu is gone and you didn't have a relapse.
Juliet....are you OK? You didn't check in yesterday....see, your "mom" is watching...
Connie...can I come with????? Please?????? Pretty please????? Don't leave me here in the tundra.....
Karin/JanClare/Leesa/Sharon...and everyone else that hasn't posted in a while...hope you are just too busy having a wonderful, happy, healthy life to check in..but please do! We miss you guys!
My MB has been repainted and looks much better, going from spring green to sandy beige. And no, DH never noticed. Men! And I was able to get out yesterday afternoon when it warmed up and got some tropical plants from Lowe's so it may be the frozen north outside, but it looks green and cozy inside now.
I am off to shower and then to the gym...5th day in a row! I am such a good girl! Hope you guys have a lovely Friday.....hug someone you love today...you never know...that person may be needing one for reasons unknown to you!
So....hugs to all!

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes in to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands, and hopes we've learned something from yesterday."John Wayne
Loved this quote so I didn't look any farther. May have to grab another tonight after work.....you know I may find the perfect one and not be able to wait till Saturday morning.
Ok ---- I did not have the graham cracker and p-nut butter. Left my graham crackers at work....so I went hungry last night, but I really was too tired to care and you might know......I had trouble going to sleep. Think you do get over stimulated when you need sleep.
Maggie was all right....but I think still nervous over her incident and I sure don't blame her. I did not and I repeat notsay it, but she said to me....what if this would have happened while I was sleeping and I would have bled to death. And I did not say --- you would not have known it....so YOU would have been perfectly fine about it.....it would have been OTHERS who would have had to struggle with that burden I knew what she meant......but it is a lesson for us. We miss those we love so who go on ahead of us and our minds fill with all sorts of emotions --- but the truth is many leave us in a gentle, kind ( to themselves ) way and it is only our trying to FIX our loss that sometimes bring colors that are not there. We just sort of normally do this so it is ok....but now and then the way something comes out.....you get a large spot of clarity.
Ok....I need to get ready for work. Hope you are all going to have a good day...warm as milk toast out there ---- hmmm a saying I need to research because I KNOW I'm not as smart as a five-yr. old anymore....thank god for computers that know just about anything...you just got to know how to ask the question.
See you tonight.

Good morning everyone. Like Jackie, I had some trouble sleeping last night and slept in this morning. I got news that my former neighbor of 20+ years in Macomb, passed away. He was a like a second father to me. He'd had a second stroke on Christmas day and just didn't come out of it. He'd had a long, good life, but it's just hard to say good-by to the people who have held an important role in our lives and our hearts. So.....my Sunday and Monday will be involved with the visitation and funeral. We knew that it was coming and I'm glad that he passed before I took off for Florida as it's important to me to pay my respects to this wonderful man.
Wendy, my cold/sinus infection is still not completely gone. They gave me a second antibiotic and I feel so much better than I did three weeks ago, but the drainage and the cough still linger. My poor nose is finally beginning to clear up. I did not get the neti pot. The gal at Walgreens recommended that I try Salinex in a bottle because it is more convenient to use. My nose was so sore at first that I couldn't use it because it burnt so badly. I may dig it out and try it again this week.
You're right, Wendy. We do have several gals that haven't posted lately and some who rejoined us and have disappeared. Please pop on, gals and let us know how you are doing. If not, I'm bound to come looking for you.
Well, I have lots of things to do today, including a hair cut and color, so I'd better get myself moving. I will check in later.

Good Morning Girls.....
Awww it is a heat wave out there today. Do you think spring is here???? Just checking in.
I have been busy living at the hospital this week as my mom has been sick. She developed a eye infection that turned into cellulits of her face. She is doing better now that she is getting IV antibiotics. She should be out in a few days. School has been crazy too....so I have been sooo busy and missed you all. I hope everyone is doing well.
What do you all think of an evening lunch bunch in early Feb. or would a Sunday brunch work?
Let me know your thoughts. Gotta run to the hospital now..will try to ck back later..
Hugs to all and have a great day.

Good morning everyone... I've been popping by & skimming the posts... don't worry, you ain't getting rid of me that easily, haha
Rita, sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.
Blackjack, I am sending wishes for a speedy recovery for mom
Pat, I saw the story on the news as well. My condolences to your friends, what a tragedy
Jan, so glad your DH is doing better!!!
Wendy, you go girl! And that's pretty funny that DH didn't notice the MB!!
Connie, Bon Voyage.. have a fabulous trip. I'm green with envy!
Not much up over here - guess that's why I haven't posted the past couple of days.
Did our fed taxes this morning
Smile for a refund!Tomorrow morning DH is taking me to Whole Foods (which is basically a road trip, haha!) and then in the evening I'm going our for a couple of drinks & conversations with an old friend. Really looking forward to that, she is a nut & hilarious.
Hope you all have a very nice weekend!! Hugs, Juliet

Just popping in to say hi - and bye! Our flight is at 8:30 am. I do have some room in my suitcase, so first come first serve!
Have a great week!

Checking in....hope you're all enjoying the evening and looking forward to this weekend.
Wendrew - Yes...being a CASA is going well. It's very interesting. My current case may close in the next month...it's going to have a happy ending! Then I will be given another case. You've been a very good workout girl...it's almost bikini season.
Rita - Sorry about your neighbor...sounds like he was a great guy. Your poor nose! Hope you're all better soon. When are you leaving?
blackjack - Sorry to hear about your Mom. Hope all is well with her soon.
-----------------------------------------
Have a great night girls!

One more thing...
Looks as though NONE OF YOU are interested in joing me in either the 40 mile Avon walk or the 60 mile Susan G Komen walk! lol boo-hoo, boo-hoo!
But if I'm wrong...please just let me know! 
lol0 -
Morning! Oh boy..do I wish it were the first day of spring! I see our thaw is gone. Oh well....it was nice while it lasted.Laura...Me walking 40 or 60 miles is so out right now, but I did ask for more info. Is there a way I can do something shorter?
Rita....condolences on the loss of your dear friend. Even when you know it's coming, it's never easy, is it? Hugs to you. Lots of hugs.
Connie...yeah, right. NOW you tell me you had room in your suitcase! Some friend you are!
Susan...I started Jodi Piccoult's book "Change of Heart" and I just couldn't get into it at all! And I loved her other books. But maybe I guessed from the very beginning what really happened. Oh well...I still have 4 books left before returning to the library.
Smerf...I hope you are having a wonderful visit with the "kids"! Hold them tightly, just a little bit longer.....
Blackjack...so sorry about your Mom! How's she doing? How's MIL? How are you doing???? DD go back to school?
Juliet....yep, I was just a little bit ticked that I spend a few hours repainting his bath (I use the guest bath) and he notices nothing. When I finally pointed it out to him...he said...remember, I am colorblind. I had forgotten that...to him, the walls just looked cleaner! He couldn't tell between the green and the greenish-beige. Well then...;HE SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THE "CLEANER" walls!!!!!! Have fun today...sounds like you and you friend should have a ball tonight.
Not much going on this weekend....we are out for lunch today to try a new place in Algonquin Commons. It's the Barley House...they took over the Claddaugh Pub space there which closed last year. It's right by Biaggi's...so I will let you guys know how it is. If any of you (or DH's) are beer fans, they are supposed to have over 30 on tap! That seems like a whole lot to me...but maybe the article meant 30 "kinds" of beer.
Jackie...how's all your snow???? Going sledding this weekend are we????? LOL
Gonna have another cup, and then shower time for me. Need to take a run to Target this am and then return something at TJ Maxx.....wow...aren't you all just excited for me!
Gosh....I need some warmer weather....I will settle for 50!

Morning and no snow....light dry dusting --- well we have been known to do well in February for a good snow so there is still time. Not thrilled about the cold air that came along though. Yucky!!!! Going to go to Maggie's in a bit --- have an electrician friend of mine who is going to repair and install the right size of wire for her kitty apartment. I'm also taking Chico ( our Puggle ) to play with her dog Diva. Diva is part Boxer and ???? but what a beautiful roan color.
Blackjack and Rita too --- I too am sorry for the recent events in your lives. Can you believe --- I don't respond quickly because sometimes I just don't know what to say. Wonder which is worse....saying too much or nothing? Just know always that I care and want things to be better for you ---- even if I have not said anything. Maybe part of it is the recognition that into each life some rain must fall and that there is a reason for all of it intertwined into each of our lives. Just often hard to see or recognize and a person may not recognize it for a long time to come --- every event that happens in your life...that touches yours bring essence with it.
Not too much planned today......or maybe I should say for now just the usual after Maggie's. I must admit...... ( someone on here talked about playing free games as opposed to gambling for real ) for many, many months now -- too long to remember just how long --- I have used a site called Free Ride Games. Don't know how I stumbled on them --- other than my love of Mah-Jong. They have a fabulous one.....with sounds and you mainly play against yourself. No wonder my right hand looks larger than my left --- all that mouse gripping.
I'm saying hello to all those who do not post much here....hope all is well with all of you. You are in my thoughts too...always.
To everyone else...have a wonderful Saturday.
Jackie
