    Chabba, you are right on target!!! Paula got me the best eye candy last week, and I was laughing so hard, DH came up behind me (which he NEVER does) to look over my shoulder, and I think he won't be doing that again!  LOL.  I always tell him he's cute (and he is, and I am biased, but have been told by other women that he is cute, so I think I have pretty good judgment) - but I think the guys get a little paranoid and they have such fragile egos sometimes.... all-in-all, Paula, you just GOTTA keep on working for the cause here!  And my goodness, you have a reputation to maintain (that Hugh Heffner bit...)!!!!  Laughing

    Chabba you said that perfectly....

    Funny Paula as my hubby is a tad bit sensitive too so I tend to hide this from him as I hate to start something over eye candy!  I sometimes wonder why the mods have never said anything to us and they must get a kick outta all the men we post and enjoy it themselves......god only knows what we would do if they did make us stop....he he

    Okay I may be no Paula as she posts the BEST MEN EVER, but I came across this man and couldn't resist.  This is for all you lovely ladies we call friends.

    Paula & Junie - Dang!!  I don't have to worry about my DH looking over my shoulder.  He is usually in his man cave when I open these up.  Thank goodness for that otherwise he would have a fit.  Men and their poor llittle egos.  LOL!

    Oh while I was looking for some Manday candy I found a photo I think the mods woulda put a halt to.  Man was it ever a good one for sure.  It's a good Mancollage for sure!  Several different dudes, but one was showing his package abit to much so I didnt want to chance it and have the candy banned!

    I LOVE MANDAY!!!!  What a much better way to start the week than MONDAY!

    Heidi.... I like that, too!  But DH is a mountaineer, and I have to say that I really "get it" that they climb "because it's there".... so not sure I should be thinking in this direction, but of course, there are always lots of mountains NOT climbed.... and there are some really beautiful mountains out there.... OK, enough metaphor this morning... I am taxing my poor brain.  Better go get coffee and get ready to face the day.

    Love Manday as well.  DH does not walk up behind me but I check these boards at work and I have to be careful if the boss is in.  Boy would I be embarrassed if he saw our man candy.EmbarassedInnocent

    Funny, Manday is a great idea!

    I never heard from my MO today, so I still don't have the results.  I was concentrating so much on the pathologist's report, and I normally call the next day for the results of my regular bloodwork.  Now I don't even know that, and it would have been a good "nudge" to my doctor to find out the pathology.  It will be 5 days of waiting now - just what I didn't need.  Last time I'll do an important test on a Friday, that's for sure.

    Sherry, oh that must have hurt! I can't imagine all that pummeling on an already beaten up breast! I am STILL sore - I can't sleep on that side, can't reach for things, can't bend over without holding it. I'm still wearing my bra when I sleep, and boy am I sick of that thing.

    Odie - medieval torture is a perfect description. All that's missing are the chains and the gargoyles!

    Thank you for all the prayers, ladies! I feel surrounded by love, especially when I go outside and look up at the sky and pray. The feeling is so strong out there! Yes, B9 is the word of the week!

    Linda, I'm so glad you have all that energy to cook! Sounds great!

    June - niiice picture for an amateur! Oh, yeah, he has me curious about, well you know...

    heartandsoul - so sorry you have to wait longer for results.  I did the Friday thing a couple of times.  It was a long wait sometimes.  Hope you hear good things soon.

    odie - stereotatic - yes to ouch.  Had mine all set up - very painful compression, took image and there was a vein in the way so they released the pressure and did it again to boob that was definitely hurting at that point.  Think it was worst part of the whole BC thing.

    Been away for last week helping to provide 24 hr care for my dad since he came home from hospital. Just came back from my dad's MO apt today.  Not really a surprise, but still upsetting.  Not much they can do and he seems to be going downhill quickly.  Causing quite a bit of stress as my 5 siblings are not all on the same page.  Hope today's info will help them accept.  My dad doesn't not want and they don't think he can really tolerate much at this point.  His wish is to die at home in the house he built for my mom 55 years ago and we are going to do our best to make it happen.  Thanks for listening.  It is nice to know that some people understand the right for someone to make their own treatment decisions.  Their denial during my treatment was hard, but this is exhausting.

    bgirl - Just wanted to let you know my heart goes out to you & your family. Went thru something similar with my DFIL when his lung cancer came back with a vengence. Pray your father may go peacefully on his own terms in his own home.....While nothing can be said to ease your pain, feel free to PM me if you need to vent. (((HUGS)))

    Jane, it's really tough when siblings are not all on the same page, but I hope they can all realize they need to pull together, support each other AND your father in love.  Sometimes the most generous thing is to allow our loved one to go in peace rather than prolonging the process that just prolongs life in a suffering body.  I lost my dad 10 years ago, his last few days were in hospice, without suffering or pain, holding my mom's hand - none of us wanted to lose him, but none of us wanted to see him suffer any more.  Special prayers for you and your family as you go through this.

    Jane I'm so sorry that the kids can't come together and see what he wants.  Just as Linda says I hope the can get it together and realize that this is what is wishes are.  To be home with his memories and the family he loves.  I know that it has to be a tough one on all, but at a time like this those feelings need to be set aside and focus on what he wants.

    Jane, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. What he wants sounds perfect for him. I hope everyone sees that very soon so he can be comfortable and not worry. I pray for peace & happiness for him and you and your siblings.

    Thanks to all for the prayers and good wishes.  4 of us are in agreement and I hope that the other 2 will no longer be able to be in denial after his MO apt. and come to some level of acceptance.  This only started July 1 so it has happened very fast.

    He had his 83rd birthday in June, but is mentally sound and so he should be allowed with full knowledge to decide.  MO said it would not be wrong to do nothing and told sister and I that she would not recommend chemo for her own dad in the same circumstances.

    My sister who was an RPN said she was happy to help dad and that (hopefully never) she would be honoured to do the same for me if it ever came to that.  I was really touched.

    Jane I am so sorry you have to be going through this and family is not all on the same page.  Losing someone you love is the hardest thing in the world to go through and having family not on the same page makes this much harder for all.  Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.  I am only a little over a year from losing my Dad and know the pain you are going through right now.  Sending my love your way!

    Jane sending hugs and prayers your way.  It is a difficult time but I really hope that all works out that your Dad gets to do what he wants.  It is important.  As for as your other siblings.  Sometimes it just takes some longer to get over the deniel than others.  Hopefully they will come to grips with what is best.

    Well, I'm leaving you all on this thread.  No longer am I taking Tamoxifen, after having had three different episodes of throwing clots during a recent surgery.  As of now I don't know what I'll be on instead.

    The eye candy rocks btw.
