ah, Curve, sorry. That just sucks!
I can also say time ticks.
PS, I guess I'm very lazy because I rearrange letters a lot thinking I'm clever. Well, I guess I'm not!
Note: choose either word

Hello Ladies, mind if I join in? I was getting a lot of kicks reading the banter here, and will try my best to keep up with you.

welcome, FlowerLuvr, glad you could join us. We make a new word and try to incorporate into a little narrative (real or made up). Have fun with us!
We have an earthquake a couple hours ago, so I'm sitting and watching TV about it. While I'm here, I have a cat who I'm training to touch my hand with her paw to let me know she wants a treat. When I feel she's had enough I raise my hands to say All gone. She usually jumps off but now she licks me to try to get my attention. She's funny (oops, they're saying we just got a after shock but didn't feel it).

Wow, this thread has really taken off again. @ 2TA, is your cat's hair fluffy and cotton-like, or is it more smooth & silky?

Curve, why are you awake at this hour? No can sleep either?
My white cat (Siamese/flame point) is short hair, she's the one I'm training. DD's cat is medium-long hair and she's a dark calico. She's very soft and silky and after I brush her, which she loves, her fur is very slick.
Here is Nikki:
Sorry this is so large, can't figure out how to crop photos on the iPad.

2ta, your DD's cat Nikki is beautiful! I've only had 1 cat, he was coal black and very sweet. I would like to say Nikki has beautiful "locks" , but its really her fur. Thank you for the nice welcome! (I hope the earthquake was a minor one)

@2TA, I got my Doxil infusion a week ago Thursday and ever since then I've been sore, achy, tired etc etc. I get tired and take a nap in the afternoon, and if I sleep for a long time in the middle of the day, I don't get sleepy until very late at night. Anyway, my natural tendency is to be a night owl. I have been really slack since then, not exercising and barely keeping myself supplied with food and clean clothes. I had Zometa (bone medicine) this past Thursday and just sat there and cried from sheer tiredness. I made another appointment with the palliative care doctor. Maybe he can help me with some of this. Maybe I need to use some services instead of trying to do everything myself.
Right now, I just have no energy.
It seems like this year has been one step forward, two steps back— make some progress and then have a setback.....I really thought I was doing better the week before my tx. Maybe I was. Now I have two weeks with no treatment and maybe that will let me get my feet back under me again.0 -
Curve, sounds like a black mood right now, I hope it is short-lived and you will get your energy back. Sounds like the perfect time to have 2 weeks without treatment. Hoping things will get a lot better for you, and yes, maybe you can get help with some services. So sorry that things are rough for you right now. (I just used "black mood" to use that word, not to imply anything negative).

FlowerLuvr, please don't take this the wrong way. You have been on BCO since yesterday, have made 11 posts and are providing no information about you at all. Some would say I am distrustful, but I think it's just that when a person's profile LACKS info, I feel the need to question it.
Please don't take it personally. :-)

@RedReading, I hope you & FlowerLuvr aren't going to clash. What would you like to know? FlowerLuvr, tell us something about yourself.....
By way of introduction to the new person on our thread, I am African-American so I am always in a "black" mood!
Seriously though, I am not so much depressed as ultra pooped out. But when I get very tired, sometimes I start crying and just don't have the strength to stop myself. That's what happened on Thursday. It's frustrating having to figure out how not to make myself sicker than I already am by doing the wrong thing or doing something at the wrong time. I was beating myself up about walking to the library ("I should have known better"). But really, how should I? I walked there and back no problem the week before...OK, note to self: don't walk to the library the day after a chemo treatment. But how many other booby traps are out there waiting for me to fall into them??

ok, I need to come clean: I was awake almost all night (darn that earthquake), I know I saw 4 am come and go (Good Morning America), fell asleep after 5 am. Alarm woke me up at 7:30. We had a health insurance expert come and help us get signed up (and save us lots of money in the process) so I got up early to bake some quickie cookies (box of cake mix, 2 eggs, some oil) for her. After we got signed up, met a local BCO gal (and her DH for lunch locally at Olive Garden). Came home and found myself crash for a couple hour nap. Hopefully, not awake all night.
Oh, Curve, anything I can do to help you? Your attitude totally amazes me! Chemo is crazy that way, never know what to expect and just when you think you have a handle on all of it, my body would react a slight bit differently the next time. Please don't beat yourself up over it all, BC does NOT come with a handbook.
About Flowerluvr, here's what I know. I have a friend, a caregiver, who I have gotten involved with BCO so she can better help me. To be honest, she probably reads more about BC so she understands what's happening to me (she lost a family member to BC years ago and now has a better understanding) than responds to the info threads. She has enjoyed some of the lighter topics, like the word games (as she is now going thru another female cancer and chemo, a lot of things are in common with BC and what she's going thru). Maybe ladies just want the companionship and want to keep their anonymity, that's ok too.

@ErinBrocko, that must have been before my time. I've been on this thread between a year and two years, and when I first started it was just make-a-word. The running story started later on—I looked back once and I think it was about the beginning of 2013. We have fun either way, with or without a story.
@2TA, my attitude is really not amazing, at least not all the time. There's a certain amount of self-censorship in what I write, especially on this thread since it's for fun & games. Several years before I retired, I had the opposite cubicle to a guy who was really negative. He was always complaining about something. Maybe my memory is not 100% accurate but I don't remember ever hearing him say a positive word about anyone or anything, and because the cubicle walls were only about shoulder-high, there was no getting away from it. What a bore! I could feel myself getting all tense when he started off yet again. It was such a relief when he finally left. I hope (for his own sake and whoever he ended up sitting next to) that he liked his next job better! That experience taught me a big lesson: nobody wants to listen to someone else complain, complain, complain. So, I try to to avoid griping a lot online. But sometimes I get to the point I can't seem to shrug it off any longer, and then I mention it. Even so, I try not to be the person who is always at it.
I hope you got more sleep last night and no aftershocks.

Hi everyone. I'm sorry if I came off as a boor to FlowerLuvr. I've been caught twice now by people who say they are nice people, then try to sell me something. Yes here in these threads. I'm guess I've gotten too gunshy.
Welcome FlowerLuvr, I hope I haven't scared you away. I would be pleased to play this game with you.
Sometimes, to me, it feels like bc is a ladder I must climb. This dx, that med, that dx, this drug, the other dx, these rads. I just hope there aren't too many RUNGS on this ladder, because I'd really like to make it to the top and get an NED!

Hi Red, I know you. Sending you and the other girls a gentle hug. My former name was DorK but I am in witness protection at the moment so incogtito I am hehe, jk!.
I used to post on this thread all the time but it was somewhat boring as jest a word game. No one spoke yet the same people would play. It was odd not getting to know any of them. I like this! I hope you are doing better than I am, my life is in RUINS right now. Thanks for commenting Curveball and nice to meet you and everyone here. I will try to come back. Cuz I was missing my girl Red and just stumbled back in here ... I am glad I did!

@RedReading, if I'd had someone try to sell me stuff on bco, I'd probably be gunshy too. I hope you reported whoever it was to the Mods, it's a blatant violation of the forum rules. I've ratted on many a spammer myself, those ones who send a bunch of links to World Cup Soccer or streaming movies or something. Seems to me the forum software has gotten better at catching them before their threads even appear. Lately I haven't seen them nearly as frequently as I used to.
Well, well, well. I can think of two words but no way to work either of them into the rest of this comment. One of the words is units and the other is rings. Take your pick!

hi Erin, good to see you here. Glad this thread has evolved to more than just a change-a-letter games, there are lots of those on BCO. I guess I'm the newbie here, not even a year for me.
I wouldn't be happy for up welcomed solicitations either, have to admit I've turned a couple in the mods (as well as blatant perverts who attack in the middle of the night. They must have been checking to see who was awake in the night and found me)
Red, glad you're home safely.
Went to local produce market a bit ago to stock up on healthy fruits, veggies, and grain products to have in the house. This weight isn't going to disappear by itself even though I wish it would.

Yup, I'm back from Vancouver. It was a really educational, interesting conference. I didn't get to see much because it RAINS non stop in the spring in Vancouver. But I did take a trolley ride thru Stanley Park before we left for the airport. My DH saw tons, darned tourist. Lol
Onco, just so that FlowerLuvr doesn't feel like I'm picking on her, I would remind you that I challenged you too on the gratitude thread. For the same reason. 12 posts, no info AND you were using my very good friend's tag line.
See FlowerLuvr, I do it to everyone. Sorry. (((hugs)))
{{{{ERIN}}}}}} omg. I thought I was never going to get to talk to you again. I've missed you so much. How's your dad doing? How are you doing? What's happening in your life now? Are you still working for the rotten bosses?
OK busy busy day. Gotta get some sleep.
Hugs'n'kisses
Deb

can't think of a word as my brain is tired.

I know what you mean 2TA, it's hard to think of a word when energy levels are at a nadir. I have been sleeping on & off most of the day and I think it has done me a bit of good.

that's good Curve, charge those batteries! My crazy sleep pattern as of late (sleep a couple hours, awake a couple hours, then repeat often) is a drain on my energy.
And thanks for the word, something new I can add to my vocabulary.
