Wow - so many posts I am not even gonna try to catch up.
IOS - Woke up Friday evening with a migraine, spent all of Sat and part of today getting through it. SUX to waste my weekend in a dark room with a migraine. After a long nap today and much Maxalt - it is still there but manageable. Most likely PMS related. So now the weekend is over, have no laundry done, no grocery shopping, missed playoffs - just wish it was during the week so I could take a sick day instead of messing my my days off. OK done whining - hope all have a suckfree week.

How are you doing nancy?

I am doing ok, ty (((wish))). How are YOU? Nothing much going on here except some minor annoyances.
Ladies, I am a widow for almost 6 years, was married 33 years, and as annoying and frustrating as those husbands are, I wish mine was still here. Doing this alone totally sucks, with no one to even "ignore" you when you tell it like it is. Mini pity party going on tonight and I do need to get some sleep.

We don't do cats in my house, only pugs.
Old guy has arthritis, so we give him a baby aspirin and a glucosomine every day. We rely on getting it hidden in Cool-whip. Sometimes if there's some kind of cheese spread left over, we'll use that. Pugs, though, aren't as bright as cats, so what works here is probably not an option to a cat owner.
Sitting here watching the Golden Globes, making obnoxious snarky comments. G'night.

lefty I was born and raised in Johnstown and I can only say GO BENGALS LOL I moved to cincinnati in 1994 and I have more fun harrassing my brothers about their team that it turned me into a bengals fan. What a way to become a football team fan, huh??? LOL I was widowed in 1999 after 13 years of marriage, not near as long as you but sure do know what it is like. sorry to hear you are having a tough night. Have you checked out the chat room? Anyone there tonihgt?

Big IOS this weekend. We got a Quest phone bill on the 22nd of December that said due by January 7th. Well DH payed the bill 3 days late and they shut us off. We've been married 25 years and have never payed a bill late and we've payed less than $100.00 interest on credit cards total in our life time. We are far from rich but we are financially responsible. I'm pissed beyond believe.
They said this was something new. They will no longer let people get behind on their bills, they just shut you down after a few phone calls. Well guess what? They had been calling our fax line to inform us of the late payment. That worked well.
We finally hammered out the problem and payed the bill online but since we were late they insisted that we paid the next month in advance. That's not the worst part.......they said our service would be reinstated within an hour. We work from our home with Quest providing our DSL also. It's now Sunday night and we still have no service. I'm sitting in my room on the second floor sponging off my neighbors connection.
My DH feels terrible but we had family for Christmas and I had chemo two days before that.
They were, however, kind enough not to charge us the 10.00 reconnect feel since this was our first offense. Are you kidding me?
What a great time to change your late policies during a recession.
Thanks for listening.....Renee

I'm bald, crying, cranky, tired, itchy, dry and I happen to need these wonderful women. Especially Nikki. Please leave her alone.
THIS IS A NIKKI SAFE ZONE.

A big that sux to all...

It seems so many people are losing their jobs. That sucks.
Wish, I hope you have a nonsucky day with Lucy and the vet.
Hugs to all.

Lucy and the vet..........my mind works in mysterious ways. Made me think of Benny and the Jets. Now that tune will be in my head all day. Not that thats bad.

Renee, watch that situation well. Seems I heard with credit cards, insurance, like home and/or auto and other things, IF you are late for any type of payment like that, all of your interest rates, or ratings can go up. SUX and it's horrible they can do that, especially when someone is so dilligent about paying on time as you are
SOrry to hear it and yes, there are many other services you could check into.Hope everyone's ios's become SOI's today. IT's flipping 8 degrees and another watch out for 2-4.....man this wiinter sucks.
My ONLY SOI this morning is, that I had dh move the feeders up to the deck edge so it was quick and easy to feed those wonderfully fun birds their morning feed:) Absolutely great to sit and watch and then see the kitty antics.
{{hugs}} and hearty THAT SUX to those in need!
Jane? How are you doing today?

I thought the same thing when I read your post. Must have been writing when your post came through.
It appears she has removed one of the staples. I'm going to try to get a look at again after my shower, hoping she dosen't have to be boxed up again and taken in! UGH!

I'm hanging in. This past Taxol has kicked my butt. I know I only have one more to go, but I am already dreading it. The last two weren't this bad. I am hoping I get a few days feeling better before the next one. At least I know radiation won't be as bad as chemo other than the long commute each day.
0 -
Hugs Jane, sometimes the next chemo isn't as bad as we anticipate.....well at least that's what I found. My 4th was awful.....and the last 2 weren't so bad. But then I got a different chemo. I hope you have a real easy last one. And then we celebrate.

One to go? Jane thats wonderful! Hang in there girl, we're sending many {{hugs}}, good thoughts and lots of prayers hon!

ok this is going to be a long one from me... and i dont usually do longgggggg posts!
I have spent last couple of hours trying to read back..... and the things that hit home...
1) Elaine asked if son or daughter is getting SSDI payment as they are still in school... yes it applies to college and university.... as long as they are in school and they get the form signed by registrar each year.
2) I am confused as to how people can cause posts to be deleted by the Community unless there is something offensive in them.... tho I get the 5 people rept and the computer does it.... But there should be no banning without proof ... isnt that like being guilty without trial????
3) I am afraid that I will be Nikki one day. I love peeps here and would be heartbroken if I were cut off.
4) Someone is having sex.... please enjoy that you can still do that. I dont care what you wear but the sweatshirt and crotchless jeans does not sound like the sexiest outfit.
5) When my cat had stitches, I made a tube top for her with 5 holes (1 for tail, 4 for paws). If you do this, cat cannot remove and you can cover the area. Better than the cone according to the cat....
6) Getting a pill down pussy.... it may take a couple of tries but.... grab cat, put pill in mouth, clamp mouth closed and stroke from chin to chest, this will cause her to swallow. All done, release cat.
I am having all my tests and stuff, so I wont be on as much this week...... hugs to you all.

I wore pantihose for the first time since my dx today for a work function. OMG....how in the Hell did I wear those every freaking day before?
The first pair I put on...well, the elastic around the waist was worn out from lack of use, and since my stomach is now much larger than my hips, they refused to stay up; they just slid right down like the plastic you pull off a new role of Christmas paper. Garbage. Second pair, I put my fingers through them trying to get them up. Sh*t! Garbage. Third pair...is it possible for one leg to all of the sudden (o.k. 2 yrs later but whatever) be lighter than the second leg?? Garbage. Third pair.....I spent 15 minutes carefully trying to get them on straight without causing another run. (It's official: I can no longer balance on one leg without leaning against the sink.) I thought for sure ...the foot looks like it's on straight but they had been wadded up in a drawer for so long, you really can't tell if you've turned them 360 degrees 3 times while 'gathering' them in your hands....and once you get them up above your thighs the crotch is all stretched to the side and wants to lay on your thigh.....I gave up after three tries and was in a full blown hotflash and sweat.....and thought whatever.....and whatever again when I finally got them up because now that they are way too small, my (well, what used to be) ass was completely flattened! By now I'm already 25 minutes behind schedule so I ended up wearing a extra long sweater to cover what is no longer there. (Good call Traci.....be stuck in a sweater at a work function when you have hot flashes every 15 minutes.)
OMG....how uncomfortable!! I was sitting in this 2 hr meeting and every time I adjusted my 'sit' I freaking pinched the hell out of my ....... very, inner, upper thighs!!! Twice, my eyes teared up from the pain! Seriously....have you ever "pinched" your skin down there???? OMG!!!!
I literally took them off while in traffic on my way home. I couldn't help it!! When I got home, I surveyed the damage and I swear, it looks like I have hikki's (sp???) on the sides of my crotch!! And, I wonder if this red line around my waste from where the pantihose were cutting off my circulation will ever go away!!! I just checked and it's still there, 3 hours later.
Good grief.....how things have changed......
Hugs everybody, I'm going back to re-read the posts. Love y'all,
Traci

OMG, Traci, I nearly pmp reading your panti hose story. Reminds me when my son got married. I bought 4 pairs of very nice, sheer ones and figured they would go best UNDER my butt/stomach smusher garment - forget the exact name. First pair almost cut me in half - off they went. Got 2nd pair on and smusher, bra and slip,then had to pee... Eventually I did get there and all went ok until I sat down and again felt like I was being split in half. After the dinner, off they came...

Traci, your'e killing me. Maybe we need to create a 15 point step by step procedure for putting on pantihose post chemo. Years ago I would lock myself in the bathroom to pour myself into them so my husband didn't run out of the house screaming and call a divorce attorney. Not a pretty sight.

Traci you are killing me!!!!! I haven't put on panty hose in so many years I forgot they made those awful garments!!!! They should be OUTLAWED!!!!! I personally would rather wear stockings and suspenders although as the stockings come down the suspenders fall down with the stockings. At least you have sexy lingerie hanging out though, right???? LOL Better yet, wear one of the cammi or bustiers with suspenders, they can't fall down and no cut off ciruclation by panty hose!!!!! Come one traci, you can do that one before you sweat your tail off in that sweater, pluse they make that stuff in the push you in fabric so you look sexy and skinny until you blow out the sides of them later in the day LOL
GREAT NEWS for ME!!!!!! My DIL is letting me take my oldest grandson to see my son come home from Iraq!!! Do you know how excited he is going to be seeing his son, he has no clue I am bringing him. He asked me not to bring the kids because he was afraid it would be to hard on me health wise to fly with the kids and then take care of them while he is working. Well he is partially right but I went the happy medium and asked to bring the toddler, he can walk which is easier and starting to talk better and listen. Although I have to change diapers, he has a good betime schedule and listens pretty well to grandma and loves to play rough with daddy!!!!! Oh he is going to kill me but it's ok I'm so psyched!!!!! Can you tell????

Hi all!! I dont think Ive posted here before but have been reading everyones comments and Traci what you wrote had me laughing out loud!!! Would it be O.K. to read it to 2 of my friends?
