Sorry, needed some coffee (decaf) or the alcohol was next in line! Whew!
So anyway....dh didn't answer his phone after 3 tries, so I wake the neighbors, b/c the officers are combing through the snow where his feet print led to the neighbors...did I mention he was in the garage watching TV, and dh's bike was 1/2 way out the garage door! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
They'd be back when they catch him, they were in foot pursuit when they found him breaking into another garage couple doors down and he took off on a bike and then on foot!
So, finally they get back here and he is in custody. They want MY ID? WTH? MINE? FOR FREAKING WHAT? SO he can get it? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we go out to the garage, and here's (UT OH! Just remembered something....Hmmmmmmmmmhave to check it out...brb..)

Okay....so we go back to the garage...the guy was in there who knows how long...had been through all the cupboards (opened and stuff dumped), ruined the lock on the gun safe, and took knives we think, b/c his tackle box and other bags were gone through, some knives and all kinds of keys strewn all over.....15 speed 1/2 way out a overhead door , but he got it stuck and left it.....
I'm still shaking and the officers have been gone for 1/2 hour or so....OHMY GOSH! WHat possesses somone to do this crap? HE'd been drinking...big deal! Oh, and dd's and her beaus stuff is out there, so who knows what is there or gone? They'll have to come up today sometime
Man, NOW I REALLY NEED SOME xanax! SOme serious stuff....................SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE LIVING ALONE! I swear, that gun safe is COMING INSIDE NOW! We've had it there for years, b/c the garage is separate, it's not accessible from the backyard, 2 locked gates on either side and when I had childcare, that was important, along with the garage is ALWAYS locked to. So the kids would have 3 locks to get in there. DH was the only one who had a key to the safe, or garage, and we both had keys to the gates. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DO HAVE TO Laugh though! With all those ditches they put in the front and the snow that grader left from 2 lanes, the cops couldn't pull their cars in! LOL I WILL BE TALKING TO THE COUNTY GARAGE TODAY ALSO...unless of course, I find a spare xanax somewhere...I think I HAVE ONE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!

Renee,
Can you block this person from posting on your site? I can't imagine wanting to rekindle this relationship. I'd bury it under a bag full of flaming poop.

Holy Suckola, wish. What a scary scenario - glad you got up to go potty or who knows what might have happened. My brother has a gun safe with a combination lock on it and not easy to break into. Ask the police for extra drive bys since this happened, even though they caught the guy. The guy must be a first class idiot to tromp thru snow and leave footprints. At least they caught him and no one was hurt. But THAT SUCKS Big time...
Nothing sucky going on with me except waiting for surgery on Friday. I got the doctor to phone in a pain prescription which I will pick up today to have on hand when I get home. Laundry is today's chore. Hugs, Nancy

Wish - holy cow! That SUCKS big time - it's the stuff out of nightmares. As bad as it was, imagine if you'd been away - he'd have gotten everything from you and the neighbors. Glad the police caught him.
No IOS today (so far), in fact there's an SOI - my 17 yo daughter was in a minor (as if - $8K damage) car accident a couple of weeks ago. We were told that it was probably 40% her fault, although no citation had been issued. We had a call from the adjuster yesterday, he'd gotten the police report & she was 100% NOT at fault. This should mean that the safe driver discount remains & we get the deductible refunded. Be that as it may, there won't be any more lunch trips with her friends.
good days, all. pam

WISH ~ I'm just so glad you were not hurt and he was just a dunce! Bring the gun safe in the house...I'd have one too if I lived alone! THANK GOD you are just frazzled and not hurt!
Pam, same for your daughter, THANK GOD she wasn't hurt!
A big THAT SUX to all who need it...

Holy scary night Wish, glad you are OK!

Holy KRAP, Wish! That is sooo creepy! I'm glad you noticed this jerk so you could call the police, that you didn't get hurt, etc., etc. What an awful, icky thing it is to have someone breaking into your property & robbing you. Years & years ago, someone broke into my car, stole the radio/stereo & threw my other stuff all over the place, broke windows, etc. I was creeped out for a long time after. Let us know what the follow-up is, if he pleads guilty or doesn't & goes to trial, etc.
Talked to my so-called friend's daughter today about her weirdness & hostility to me on the phone last night. Turns out my BIG mistake was to mention last week that I had felt really awful for a few weeks as I was switching antidepressants (because of starting tamoxifen) but that once I was on enough of the new stuff, I felt fine. Well, this is a woman who probably should be on an antidepressant herself. She was on one a few years ago & decided to stop it & has been loopy & symptomatic ever since. So, depression is like this hot button for her & evidently, she thinks that I'm still depressed because I was depressed a few weeks ago & that of course I've chosen to be depressed & that I'm wallowing in this "breast cancer thing" deliberately. Don't you love how people externalize their own crap onto you & twist things around to suit their own denial??
So, anyway, I've decided that between that incident & a few other similar ones yesterday that I must be an awfully nice, peace-loving & understanding person because I didn't deck any of these people for getting weird & dumping their poop on me because THEY can't deal with MY breast cancer.
STUPID PEOPLE SUCK. That's my story & I'm stickin' to it.

OMGOSH! Pam, that is an SOI wrapped into that accident! THANK GOD she's safe! I had one of those when my Grand Am was about 9 months old! Scared the crap out of me! Over $9000 damage, but they wouldn't total it. 9 month olds too, so they could legally repair with rebuilt and no brand parts, which we fought on some stuff, b/c we paid full insurance, and now they want to use used parts in the vehicle? 3 sides were hit as I was coming out my drive in 2000. She was bending over to grab a cig or some such thing and wham! Knocked me out! When I came too I thought a tree had fallen on the car! Anyway, thank you Lord for watching out for you dd!
And yes, its sux that this heathen will probably be on the streets in 2-3 day if he makes bail and then I'm back to worrying. Apparently 2-3 of our pistols are gone with one rifle at least. Waiting for dd and her beau to come after work to go out there with me again to survery it all.
0 -
Oh, gosh, Pam! Glad your dd is okay. And now she's "innoculated" as it were, by her experience & hopefully won't have another car accident for 30 years!!
But check the cost of fixing the car!!!! We are all in the wrong profession. We should have learned to do auto body repair......
0 -
Thanks Ladies. Yes, am thankful no one was hurt! Although dd's beau is an ex-marine and coming tonight to help with the guns and go through things. I will be taking up learning how to said pistols and rifles immediately if not sooner. WHether I learn to or not, I've used rifles/pistols before to target shoot, so I know enough to shoot someone IF they ever get in the house and I will if it's my life or limb at stake, no doubt in my mind!
{{KAK}}, yes, big that SUX. Friends in need are friends indeed they say hey? Sounds like she needs to help you to cure herself!
Poor lady. I'm finally breaking down today, made an appt with the pcp to get on something for this anxiety. Let us just say, the old heart was raring last night and hasnt' must settle, so it's time now. Just can't control it anymore, or don't want to, not sure which.Heavens {{arms}} around you each

Thanks, everyone. #1 daughter is fine - a sprained thumb was the worst of it. Her two friends weren't injured, either (thank God!). She was devastated and so worried about the cost...we were more worried about people. The hassle of repairs and so on is the worst of it. It is amazing that so little damage can cost so much. If anyone's child is looking for a high-paid career, trained auto mechanics can start in the upper 5 figures and get to 6 figure income in less than 5 years.
My husband's friend found out the hard way - after a burglary, he put a safe in his bedroom closet & put the gun in it. Unfortunately, they were burgled again & he found out that you have to close and spin and push a button for the safe to actually lock. The gun was stolen. Another friend of his had his house broken into 3 times in 5 days.
Get yourself a massage as well as a nice valium. You must be all tight. Have the dr prescribe it.
KAK - It's not you, it's them - is that what you're saying? Truely, some people are better off being put out to pasture. I'm not one to think that a positive outlook will cure a disease, but keeping negative people away will make you feel better.

Wow, Wish. I'm glad my IOS are not as harrowing as yours!
#1 IOS - I went to the surgeon today and she tells me I have lymphedema and my mast site is causing pulling and I will need PT.
SOI - The infection is getting better. It went from 3 cm 2 weeks ago to 1.75 cm today.
You all were talking about Christmas cards. I have been trying to figure out how to write these this year. Most of my family/friends know of my diagnosis, but what do I say in my Christmas cards this year?
"Dear Lucy and Linus, Hope all is well with you and yours. Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? We had a nice summer, didn't we? Can you believe all my kids are grown and out of school? Oh, by the way, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in August, had a Mastectomy in September and am now half-way through chemo. Sarah is due any day. We can't wait to have another baby in the family to spoil. We hope you and your family have a blessed holiday and a safe and healthy New Year. Love, Jane"
I'm not sure how that card would be received. What do you think?
0 -
Awwww, Jane, not the L word! How bad is it? Is it time for me to revive the "Will Massage For Cake" road trip?? And listen, I can't believe you still have the bleeping infection, but I'm glad it's smaller.
Love your Christmas card message, BTW. Seriously, I'm thinking I have to do two message groups - one for the folks who already know & have been decent about it; the other for people who don't know yet because we're clearly not that close so why bother telling them now OR who do know but have been wankers about the whole thing.
Pam, I rest my case. I was always good with my hands. Why am I working in this lousy healthcare job when I could be making six figures fixing cars????

I've been away from the boards for a couple of weeks because my parents were visiting. My goodness...so many IOS!! I'm glad there were at least a few SOIs, though--I sure wish there were more!
Wish, your IOS truly sucks. Maybe Santa should bring you a very large and loud dog for Christmas--or at least an ADT system or something. I know I didn't sleep well when my dh was driving and home only 2-3 days a month.
I've read so much here...can't remember who had what. Whoever's daughter had the car accident: so glad everyone was ok, even if it was an expensive "lesson". My ds was rear-ended less than a month after getting his license (so was 100% not at fault too). We hadn't even received the first insurance bill yet! Our insurance company was great, though. They totalled the car, but let us buy it back for $800. It was weird going in to pay the insurance bill at one desk, then being sent to another to pick up the settlement check! The damage was cosmetic, so dh slapped that ugly and bent-up bumper back on and I am now driving that car. I told my mom it was kind of nice having it banged up because now I don't worry about errant shopping carts or idiots who slam their car doors into it in the parking lot. LOL!
A big "THAT SUCKS!" to all. I've missed you guys!
((((HUGS)))

PS: LYMPHEDEMA sucks royally. So sorry, Jane!
0 -
Hopefully the lymphedema isn't beyond repair. My L arm is about 1 inch bigger than the R. I will be seeing someone who specializes in lymphadema therapy. BS said she will probably wrap it and that she will also help stretch the muscles between my chest and arm pit that are really tight, making it hard to get any good ROM in the L arm. The infection apparently has played a part in the lymphedema.

Hey everybody!!
Man, I started to take notes and then gave up after I filled two pages. No way I can type all of that before bedtime....it took me literally two hours to read all the posts! So, to all having a crappy time....I'm so sorry and that suxs!!!!
I had a good time on my vacation but......it was soured early on by my onc appt. I had elevated CEA's and he wanted me to have a scan while I was there. Sorry but, I'm on vacation. I'll come back. Then, when I get back to TX I get a letter from my f*ing insurance co that they are fighting with the hospital group that treats me and as of 1/09, I can no longer go to the same dr's. I hate insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to end up with insurance throught the state of TX. Great, I'm sure they offer the best! What a bunch of bullshit.
My onc felt something in my shoulder, same arm as the lump I felt and the scan showed nothing 6 months ago. Now, he wants a scan and unless I go back within the next 27 days, it won't be covered. Good grief, can't we get a break? I have been having pain in my right shoulder but I thought I had slept on it wrong (pushing those cancer fears back) and I've had pain in my butt bone but think that is from sitting in front of the computer all day in a bad chair at my new job. Whatever.......
I'm just happy to see all you guys again!! So happy to see Hannah again although, I can't remember what the heck she posted!
You guys know the OAOA that I originally posted about? Well, I saw him of course while I was in FL and I gotta tell you, he sort of got to me. He was a perfect gentlemen about being intimate (didn't even come close to happening) and he was just such an awesome presence. He had a big party for me and so many of my friends I had there came. It was just great. Also, he must have told everybody how sensitive I was about my hair because only a few people said "OMG your hair looks great!" Saved me about 20 'whatevers' with the role of my eyes that I have gotten so good at.
Anyway, I had a nice trip save the onc appt but, I'm glad to be back to my new home in Dallas! Sue, my neighbor and new friend, great news about your scans. Call me girl! I left you a VM several weeks ago!!! Let's get together.!!
Hugs everybody, I'm so lucky to know you all.
Traci
PS Not re-reading my post for errors.......so sorry if it doesn't make sense!

Oh Traci, welcome back, glad to see you, glad you had a good trip except for the appt, and sorry about the blasted ins co - they sure do suck don't they!!!
hugs, and a hearty that sucks, to all

Life is going along, going along, going along. I am doing same old things over and over. The family is arguing around me and I cant get involved. Wanna put my head under my pillow til 2009. High point of today, getting the housework done. However, I know I have not put my laundry away, and I have to, its on MY bed.....
0 -
Wish -- I am so very very very very very glad you are okay. That sounds harrowing. You are made of some tough stuff, sister. (And I might add, how you manage to keep a sense of humor about all this... my stocking cap is off to you.)
Jane: Send that Xmas card. Double-dog-down dare ya. It's mahvelous.
Traci: Insurance woes? Changing doctors? Elevated CEA? Need a scan? Major major suckage. Having a party thrown for you? Gave me goosebumps. That is really really cool.
*****
So my suckage: Both of my sisters have the gene mutation, it turns out. I learned last night about my big sister. (I'll be deleting this in a day or two for privacy reasons, theirs and mine. If you remark on this IOS -- and please do not feel obliged to do so -- just don't mention my name.) AND tomorrow I'm headed to the doctors w/ some unhappy ovaries in tow (my own).
This is all a lot to take in but it is not the end of the world.Not even close.
I do wish I knew how AlaskaDeb was doing.
(Dream: Sorry about the family arguing, and envy you the housework being done!)

Oh Jane, the big L sux, sorry for that

Big that SUX LADIES !
Darn it R SO sorry! Won't mention names or number {{{{{{{{{{{{{TRACI}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} THAT SUX!
Sorry hon! 0 -
WhaSux??
Sorry for all the IOS's--like Traci I was taking notes & gave up------Ins companies, car accidents & thieves in the nite--BE DAMNED!!!!!
I have a couple of IOS's----a past co-worker of mine was a 21 yr bc survivor when she was dx'd with mets to her...ARM! She was an older woman & never shared much about her dx but we supported each other & became closer after our mets---I just found out she took a turn for the worst & died last week---I feel HORRID cuz I picked up the phone to call her 5 or 6 times since the last time we met & NEVER made that call--some friend I was!
The other IOS--we "adopted" a boy in India thru a mission (CFCA) over 14 years ago. We have gotten pix & letters all along, but yesterday we got a letter from the agency that said he had tried but could not pass his school exams so he is no longer part of the program! I feel like we/they just cut him loose & let him float thru outer space! I KNOW our money took care of his whole family...now there isn't ANYTHING we can do to change this........except pray that this almost 19 yr old kid will not go belly up on his own...... $%#^#%$^^&%* SUX!!!!!
Still not sure about my feet--but I THINK I've got it warded off for now.....hoping!
Wish-I am so glad you didn't take that trip & that you are OK!
Dream---pull the covers over your head & let them figure it out! HUGS
Be well & stay strong!

Hey! That Sucks all!
Wish, you could have used the shovel brigade that night! Glad you are okay!
Been away awhile and checking in!
Big SUCKINESS to all who need one!

My goodness, like the commercial for some show says, miss a day miss a lot! I can't even remember most of the suckage except the buglar. How awful, to me that is just such a violation of your privacy. I know times are tough but resorting to crime will do you no good. Then to do it in frest snow where you can be tracked like an animal, is this a story for america's dumbist criminals?????
As for Gene mutations, scans, LE, loss of friends, all this bc suckiness really just flat out sucks!!!! I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers when I am awake!
I am still having a terrible time with drugs sedating me but I prefer that over feeling pain. I went away over the weekend and the end of it was just to much to even type to this board but suffice it to say that family members can be the worst! Especially siblings that think they are better than you and that you didn't take the proper path in life. I am so angry about what he did I could just walk up to his front door in the snow with my footprints showing and SPIT!
Oh well, I will just let it go and move on, my life is too short to worry about it. Sorry for all the suckiness going on and as the holidays continue to come on I imagine it will get worse. On a GREAT note I got a wonderful xmas card from Dream! I HAVE A FRIEND WOOHOO!!!!!! I was starting to wonder if anyone loved me LOL But I did love the card and your poor hand has to be sore after writing all those cards. I just wanted to thank you and tell you it made my day to find that card in my stack of mail I got when I came home!

Happy Wednesday to everyone. Anyone else remember when it was called Hump Day - once it was over the rest of the week was closer...
For all the IOS: THAT SUCKS and a gentle HUG. I am into the pre surgery jitters - trying to keep busy and think of it as another thing to cross off the list. I have my ride to and from arranged and my long list of allergies printed up on sticky labels. Groceries are still needed- today's project and laundry is mostly done. In 48 hours I will be in the prep area to go under the knife.
Admittedly it is only a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy, and not a mastectomy. However, it does not end there, as we all know. Regular mammos, scans, etc, etc. And I go back on the every 3 weeks of Herceptin on Dec 18. Then discuss rads in more detail depending on the node biopsy. Can I have one week without medical appointments ???
SOI: I almost have enough hair to call me human again - only on my head, no where else on my body except my chin. Time to find my comb or brush !! HUGS for ((((((( all )))))))) Nancy

Thanx wish! I guess it is a blessing that she went so quickly....I know it is something I hope for when faced with the same end.....As for "our" boy-I can't do ANYTHING--but maybe the 14 years we helped gave him some advantage that will benefit him now. He probably would have been out of the program soon anyway--I just wish it was cuz he graduated, not cuz he failed twice to move to the next grade....sleeping on stuff usually helps! I feel better about it today, but it still SUX!!!!!!!
Be well & stay strong
