Lisa- I have two pugs. Pug farts x 2 can clear a house. When I was going through rads, my craving was for fried eggs, over easy (for like 2 seconds) and english muffins. The damn dogs were all over me wanting scraps.
They woke us up at 6 am today.
(((Pearl)))) how miserable. Miralax? Warm baths? Ugh.
The girls got home from Ireland (good) but #2 is having a meltdown because she didn't get her homework done during the trip.
DH ate one of my 4 pieces of candy & gave the girls 2, leaving me with one. No dears today.
A friend's sister is having chemo, gets the shot the day after, and pays $800 each time for the pleasure. Pisses me off. They can bail out an investment bank $$$$$, but let women trying to get their health back go bankrupt.
Time for a glass of pinot. Cheers.

Fellow pug lovers, here is our Pug Piglet and her baby

Diana - Your Pug's name is Piglet? I love it!
Pam,"my craving was for fried eggs, over easy (for like 2 seconds) and english muffins. The damn dogs were all over me" dear, they are Pugs. This is their job.
They woke us up at 6 am today. Okay - now THAT SUCKS!

whose Pug knows I don't have to leave for church until 9:40

I've been reading this thread since it started, and never felt I had anything much to contribute...until today. A letter came from the IRS saying I owe $19,000 for 2006. HUH?????? I'm a teacher, for God's sake! I'm pretty sure it has to do with rolling over some investments from one co. to another (I'm so incredibly dense about this crap), and I feel sure (please!!!) that it'll be resolved in my favor, but in the meantime I'm a mess.
I hate this kind of stuff...makes me feel so stupid because I try to sock $$ away for retirement, but I really have no idea how this whole thing works. Almost feel like I'd be better off stuffing my mattress.
Now, since I'm in Japan, I have to set my alarm for 4 a.m. so I can call the east coast and try to get this straightened out. Ack.
Hopefully I'll have internet privileges in the federal pen so I can communicate with you guys.

A letter from the IRS > any other bitch on the planet.
p.s. I wonder if Pearl has gone poo yet.

Oh man, I knew my time would come to bitch and moan !
My dear mom who is visiting us for 3 weeks managed to blew me up again(like my yoga instructor says 'the reason why parents can push our buttons are because they installed them') She is very helpful took over the whole kitchen while she is visiting (hmm do not want to sound ungrateful.. I would rather not because the food she cooks is definitely not bc-patient friendly- but wanted her to feel useful )
I had started full time work and after a while told my manager that I was not performing verywell ( for obvious reasons - still going through rads after dd chemo and reconstruction surgery) because I was getting tired/distracted and asked whether he wanted me to go on disability. He decided that even if I perform a little I am still useful and wanted me to do my best.
So I have been taking it easy with a clear conscience.
Anyway my mom while taking our morning walks says :
'I do not think you are performing very well at work your focus is not on your job, if you lose your job it will be very bad for your family, and also you are also not going a good job in the house'
This pissed me off so much ! I snapped at her telling her to mind her business, and she goes ' you are my business' and insists that I am acting irresponsible at work and at home and does not stop the talk even though I nicely asked her to.
Instead of telling me to take it easy not to tire/stress myself.. and to take care of myself during this time she is criticizing me. I am already barely holding on to sanity an dtrying really hard not to be depressed ( started taking Effexor) and have breakdowns, and this is how she is supporting me ??? I would rather that she show me tlc instead of cooking all the time -- but maybe thats the way she shows her affection, who knows.
I am trying to be understanding but I am not in a point in my life where I can humor her quirks.
End of mental barf.. thanks for listening.

Tri: Did you come and steal my dh's aunt Ann during the night and install her as your mom? Aunti Ann would not only tell you how bad a job you're doing BUT she'd tell you that she could have both boobs ripped off, do 12 rounds of chemo and 300 rads all without missing a beat......whatever illness or ache you have, she had one 10x worse and still managed to be the BEST worker at her job, the most amazing cook, the "nobody can believe how much volunteer work I do for the church" good-two-shoes. How much longer is "mom" going to be there? Hopefully she'll leave before your brain explodes.
I do have a bitch today. Went in for my simulation, start rads tomorrow. The tech comes in the waiting area looking for me - finally she asks my name and says "hrrummph, I couldn't recognize you - you have a hat on and don't look like the picture we have". I asked when they took a picture of me - she said when I had my first consult. Well, crap, that was before chemo. I said "I'll bet I had hair in that picture........since I don't have ANY hair now I'm sure a look a little different". Everyone else got an "apology" because they were running late - I got reprimanded for looking different.
Then into the cold impersonal room with the big machines and the techs do their thing, tell you not to move and run behind the wall. This tech drew a diamond shaped figure in permanent marker surrounding my boob.....the top of which comes up from my camisole to my collar bone and the side goes out to my armpit. Now tomorrow when I go to my new health club (where I don't know anyone) I'll come out of the shower not only with my bald head but it'll look like I'm drawing on myself.
Nowhere near as awful as a love letter from the IRS but it was enough to make me crabby.

Tri -- I think its time for a bigger hint for mom. Like packing her bags and handing her the plane ticket home.

Bitching trifecta: Criticism from mom! Letter from IRS! Rudeness from tech before procedure even starts!
TriGeek, JapanLynn, Guggerty: I think this is a 3-way tie!

Surely the IRS thing is a mistake on the part of one company involved in the rollover. I hope this can be cleared up pretty fast. I know how stressful that can be though. Maybe you just need to refile for 2006 and make a correction on a form.

Barb-
LOVE that cat!! Looks like he's about to blow up!!
I agree...I must bitch, or I'll blow up!
I, too LOVE this thread! I just think that anyone who hasn't gone thru bc really can't understand!!
A "friend" told me that I should just go to a support group or get counseling... I just told her, "ok... I understand...I won't mention anything to you again, because I don't want to get on your nerves..."Try to have a good day...

3 months from Hell....
So I have been gone from the boards for probably 3 months now. First daughter got sick, then hubby got sick, then son got sick, and then I got sick. Not just a cold sick we all had different things and it was a long haul. Well we made it through all the sickness, then I had a run of not so fun events, tires on the family car got slashed, sons college loan got turned down, daughter's college scholarship got partially cut, air conditioning died (I know its winter but I live in Florida) needed to be completely replaced (thousands of dollars) and then I find out my real estate taxes have doubled. Then since the black cloud is over us anyway ...the transmission on hubby's car gave out. So I was felling pretty down about being completely broke with 2 kids in college and one on the way to college and then ... my mom got really sick. She is 80 and barely weights 105 lbs, I was so worried. Anyway mom is over the worst, and then yesterday I find out a dear friend who had helped me thru chemo etc has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Okay now I am really pissed.
So today my lymphademia arm is aching and swollen and my chest and reconstruction on that side hurts like a $%&#$, so I come back to the boards to bitch and whine , maybe get a little hug from the people who understand best and I find out while I have been gone there have been so many sisters lost.
And I burst into tears...
Kat
And yes EVERYTHING SUCKS
0 -
Oh, man...Kat, you've really been through the wringer! I think I'll take my IRS letter over all your happenings. So sorry...I hope the black cloud blows away soon. Where in FL are you? I lived in Jacksonville for years.
Trigeek, your mom sounds an awful lot like my stepmother used to be. That's hard to take when you're trying so hard to keep it together. I'm for suitcases in the hall...who needs "help" like that?
Guggerty, your experience w/ radiation sucks big time. The people at my radiation place were really great for the most part. What an insensitive thing to say, that you look different from your picture...did they forget you're there because you had cancer??? Ack.
Waiting here for a call from the tax guy in NY about my love letter from the IRS...had a crappy night's sleep with weird dreams when I did sleep, and I've been awake since 4 a.m. At least the nervous energy is helping me get some stuff done before work...a load of towels in the washer, putting away my clean clothes from the weekend's wash, etc. Perhaps I should put a warning sign on my classroom door--"Cross me today at your own risk."

Traci - you are too funny with that pic! I could have taken the exact same pic...I even have a matching cat!
Laura - I think I remember you from a couple of years ago....did your avatar used to be a couple of twirling tassles?
Here is my bitch - went to Missouri this weekend to help out a friend. I spent all Sat cooking food for my friend and her soon-to-be expanding family, because she's sick with the flu and worn out! I've been friends with Denise & her DH Danny for 25 years. Great people who would help anybody anytime, and have many times. Danny's daughter April is dying from cervical cancer at the ripe old age of 33. April's got 3 kids (15, 12 & 11) who Denise & Danny will adopt when April dies. She's on oxygen all the time now and she's just trying to control her pain. April has had aggressive chemo & rads, but the Drs are only giving her months to live. When my sister and I dropped off the food, seeing April just broke my heart. It is NOT RIGHT that someone should die so young! It is NOT RIGHT that the father of these kids is a loser who will not take responsiblity (and should be in jail), so my friend at the age of 51 is "starting over" with kids. AND the 15 year old just found out she's pregnant. WTF? THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow........................I'm gone two days and $hit hits the fan. Jeez girls. This thread would be a 100 lines long if I said everything I wanted to say after reading everybody's posts so...I'm gonna shorten it:
IRS:
that SUCKS. Button pushing Mom: Go back a couple of pages and b*tch slap her like that chick did. Guggerty...lmao! "don't move" and they run behind the wall!! 
Broken bowl so you threw away the whole set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's funny!! "Get over your self esteem issues" 
(That one goes for you too Maire! Happy F**ing Easter!! LOL!!! Vickie...I loved that poem. I had a friend that was giving me the "you need to get out of the house and let go of this depression" lecture and I am sooooooo sending that to him! "And since there was a black cloud over us anyway...." lol....dang girl...you got some s*it going on!!Pearl, I'm glad you are feeling better.
Kat, I bet that sucked you coming back after 3 months and seeing so many girls had died. That really sucks.
Casino girl....your friend reminds me of a real pretty blonde girl I met in the waiting room of my gyn/onc office. She was a single mom stage IV ovarian cancer with no insurance and a 16 yr old. I can remember just looking at her......and wanting to go over and grab her and take her and not let go.
I wish you could go back a page and keep posting cuz I know I forgot some real funny stuff. Ann said something that cracked me up and now I can't remember it.
As for me: well, my 'lil sis Debbi came into town for my mom's b-day and remember I told you guys we were going to compare battle wounds????? Well, she won. They mutilated my little sister. I showed her mine and then she showed me hers and after awhile, she just started crying. Her scars, pains, etc., are so much worse than mine. She's determined to get them fixed though. I wish I had 1/100th of her courage and strength. (& humor....she had me laughing all weekend. She should be a comedian like Wanda Sykes!!
Cancer is my bitch.
Hugs, Traci

Boy....my nose bleeds don't EVEN stack up with all the SUCKY stuff today.....

This thread is great. I've been reading through the posts and you guys make me feel so much better. Sorry for all the problems, but isn't it great to have a place to unload!
For me it sucks that I'm still in treatment for my "just DCIS" dx last February. I'm having a mast w/ped tram next Wednesday to fix my radiation mangled boob. I know this is minor compared to what so many of you have been through, but it just sucks after being told the lumptectomy w/rads would fix everything and I'd be on my merry way. . .there's no such thing as a merry way after bc dx.
Having my life overtaken by bc and being scared all the time sucks.

Traci
needed to ask you something... I know we are supposed to bitch here...but...on the other treads everyone seems to have put this cancer in a place I can't get tooo. You girls make this more real for me. some mornings you all just make me laugh because I'd rather laugh then cry.
Any way my onc wants to have genetic-testing done on me. I was dx first
surgery
chemo
sister dx a couple of weeks after chemo over for me
she had both breasts removed
7months later her husband dx with lung cancer
he died 1 year ago
I don't think I can do this. Just can't handle this.
So afraid of what this could mean.
More surgery for me still have left breast and ov.
BUT
MOST OF ALL WHAT DO I TELL HER........
SHE CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE RIGHT NOW.
when does this end.
Did you have testing done??????????
I don't think I can do this.
I've just had enought of this disease.
Its made me afraid of everything and I never was like this !!!!!!!!!!
I want me back.
Sorry but the picture of the two of you reminded me of us aand Easter was so much fun with her. We are just getting back a little of the humor . TERRY
