Wow. So much crap.
Maria, I wish I was near you so I could look you straight in the eyes and tell you how sorry I am that you are going through all of this. When I read about your daughter being bi-polar, I let out a deep sigh....my bf has a ex-bf that is bi-polar....she has been through so much with his mood swings. She loves him so but she just can't deal with his "quick switches" in personality. I've seen them too and I am so sorry that you are having to deal with that on top of your bc. That goes beyond un-fair. I wish so much that there was something I can do. If I wasn't on my home computer, I would post a pic of the bitch-of-the-day award because I believe you deserve it.
On top of all that.....you are getting used to your pain meds and they aren't working anymore. That can totally happen and I hope.....that they find something to relieve your pain girl. Once again, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this crap. (((((hugs)))))
Dream, >>>>deep sigh<<<<< girl, you too. I read your posts and just wanted to cry. I probably would have if I wasn't on mood altering drugs. I read about you getting a port and felt sick to my stomach. I know (I'll say it again...bad attitude...I know I have one...) that one day, my chances are real good that I will be faced with that again, and I am so not looking forward to it. I want you to know though, that reading posts like yours.....I know....will give me strength....when that time comes. I don't know you but, I love you girl. I really do. Know we are here for you.
(((((((((((Diane)))))))))))) When I first came onto bc.org, I was instantly drawn to you because of your name....badboob......I've followed you and your posts since. I am sick to read that you've had progression. Just sick. I wish so much for you Diane. So much. My head is literally spinning just thinking of words to say. Just know, you are very popular and very loved by many women on this board and we are here for you. And, not to put any pressure on you or anything....but, I look up to you and wait eagerly for your next post. And the one after that, and after that, and after that.....
Colleen, you crack me up! Gotta love Joe Cocker.
Bonnie....I loved your cartoon too. That was FUNNY!!! Who is the new avatar? I saw someone say sorry about your dog but didn't see another post about it. Did you change your pic to a lost family member like I did??? Also, bone pain....I still have mine in my shoulder and am still in denial about it. I hope you get yours in check too.
Sue (and all others that commented) are you crazy??? New panties???? Girls....I've got serious don-lap disease going on!!!!! I don't know what I'm going to do....has anybody tried that new "belly fat gone in seconds" drug???????????? BTW, when are we going to get together again???
Maggie, welcome to the bitch thread. Have you met Choca yet? I met her on this board and the went to her house and she gave me all kinds of scarves and hats. I love that girl too. So much.
Saint, I feel so lucky to call you a friend. Man, what a good friend you are. I'm sure your friend you helped saved........knows that too!!!!
Wish, Fumi, Nancy, Felicia.....I love you guys. I hope I didn't leave anybody out...if I did, it (as I know y'all know) was not intentional.
Finally, Pinky......if you go back about a year....you'll see that all I ever bitched about was my expanders. I freaking hated them. They hurt like hell and I too, thought that they didn't look right. Most of these girls have heard my story so I'll keep it short but, I got them out too early cuz of the pain and now I HATE my implants. You do what you have to do to have an outcome that you are happy with! If you think they are wrong now....bitch about it!!!!!!!! Don't do what I did and just look at your PS, sorta smile and say o.k. Let your voice be heard girl!!!!! Don't end up like me!!!!
I love you girls. Thanks for keeping nastiness between posters off this thread.
Hugs, Traci

Everybody else - a big that sux to one and all. I'm going to force my son to play with me, I'm thinking Scrabble (what 12 year old boy doesn't love Scrabble?)
And because Traci's tagline is in my face as I type, "good bye stranger, good bye night,hope you find your paradise, tried to see your point of view, something something, something will be true?" I have NO IDEA what the words are to that song! LOL
Some of my other favorites:
"I love Cecile" instead of "Our Lips are Sealed"
"Disney's having a wonderful Christmas time" instead of "Simply having a wonderful..."
"Ranger Seventeen" instead of "On the Edge of Seventeen"
and my all-time favorite: "Putting Muscles on Your Head" instead of "Pulling Mussels from the Shell"

Don't know whats up but I feel like saying to all that need to hear this (know who you are) grow up. We are all in a bad place, it all sux. We are all in this--- together or not doesn't matter, but we all deal with bad stuff and get thru each day as best we can. This is suppose to be where we can voice it, share it, get it off our person (didn't want to say chest). Here is where we are suppose to support each other, don't have to like each other but don't have to be rude or judgemental either. Bottom line is that breast cancer, any cancer sux!

My favorite overheard mis-heard song lyrics:
"TANNENBAUM!" for David Lee Roth/Van Halen's "PANAMA"!!! I knew a girl named Julie when I was in high school who *thought* she was the next american idol <ahem>. She would crank up her car stereo to maximum volume, pop in a cassette tape (remember those? heck, I remember my mom's Charly Rich 8-track and my dad's Statler Brothers 8-track VERBATIM....I hope! lol) anyhoo, she'd pop in the tape and start waiiiiiiiiiiiling. We loved Julie, so we didn't know how to tell her she had the words wrong without hurting her feelings. She was obviously deriving much pleasure from her crooning. I do wonder if she ever thought about why David Lee Roth (who is jewish, btw) would be singing a head-banging song about a Christmas Tree? lol....
The second favorite is:
"I drive a JEEP!" instead of "Driver's seat"--from the 80's song "Driver's Seat" by Sniff`N The Tears. My girlfriend Nicole thought it was soooooo cool that her boyfriend drove a Jeep and there was a song about it. bwahahahhahaha
Now, I never <ahem> would mis-hear a lyric...
And, for anyone else who won't be able to sleep tonight, try visiting http://www.kissthisguy.com/ , "The Archive of Misheard Lyrics"...funny stuff
((((Traci))) I'm all veklempt now.
(((HUGS))) and THAT SUCKS, Y'ALL!

Did anybody else besides me Google veklempt???
And to top it off Diane.....you are a Van Halen fan. I knew it!!!
Edited to add...My mom's name is Diane and so are the middle names of 4 of my nieces!
0 -
lol...did I spell it right? (veklempt, I mean....I'm pretty sure I spelled "Diane" right) pffffffflllllllltt
Be careful, Traci....we might start a Van Halen/Van Hagar catfight! lol

Changing to a great SOI for me: my birthday is Saturday and my brother sent me two small, beautiful, hand crafted, wooden jewelry boxes, inlaid with mother of pearl. He knows I need and want nothing, but he saw them and knew they would not take up a lot of space. It made MY day.
Hugs and Blessings, Nancy

Awwwww, how sweet! It's so special when a gift is given from thought, rather than need.
Let me be the first online to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, followed by a great many more happy and healthy ones dear Nancy. Won't ask how many, but hope it's a wonderful day for you
0 -
Um, no, this Jersey Girl did not need to google verklempt, and may I just say, one of the 6 CDs in my car right now is Van Halen, the other 5 are: Bon Jovi, Lucinda Williams, Garden State soundtrack, Stevie Wonder, and Green Day (what can I say, I have a wide range of musical tastes!)
Tannenbaum! Tannenba-um! I will never hear that song the same way again!
Nancy - happy birthday!!
Everyone else - loveya/meanit!

Thank you, thank you - I will be 63 on Saturday. My car is 10 yrs old, only 58 K miles and has a tape deck. The following year they put in CD players. I have tapes that rattle around in my car - under the seat and stuck in the visor, etc. -- but remember, I am OLD...!!!
0 -
old.........phooey! My kids act like cassettes are antiques and when I showed them my vinyl collection, one of them said, "Wow! That CD is GINORMOUS!"
Happy Birthday, young'n!
)0 -
Too funny! That's exactly what dd calls them ginomous! Can't wait to show her grannys 33 albums from the real old music
We still have a record play I bought at 14 out in the workshop that dh uses to listen to the radio. And guess what? IT has an 8 track player that still works! I bought it with my first job besides babysitting at 14 for like $140 bucks. Big mondy back then. Its what? uhm...nearly 37 years old!0 -
I once spent 6 hours in a car with my brother, who did not speak to me the entire way. The radio was broken, we had his portable 8-track player (which I later inherited) and 2 8-tracks: Jethro Tull Aqualung and Marshall Tucker Band.
Sitting on a park bench!
LOL and on that note, I really am going to bed!
Night all...

WhaSux???
Another BD NEVER sux!!!!! Happy Birthday Early AKA!!!!!! Getting older is the goal!!!!! HUGS
I have been away from the boards too long-I can't remember all the posts I read to catch up! As someone said recently--doesn't mean I don't care-----cuz I SO DO!
Dream-girl---YOU ROCK-----what did a bunch of nasty kids who are now as old as you (& probably still as stupid as they ever were) know about real life anyway????? Trust me! I KNOW you are a champion & I love ya!
Traci---been missing you here--I'm gonna give you a call one of these fine days---SOON! I'll give you a pep talk about "Getting it" for the rest of us--hopefully the phone will be sufficient---don't make me buy that plane ticket!!! HUGS
Here's to all the bitch-squad who are currently just reading-----you are needed here!!! As Roseanne Roseanna Dana would say. "What's with all the bans? We don't need anymore bans! We have plenty of bans---just think of the battle of the bans......oh, never mind...."
My friend is healing--maybe I will start to revive in body & spirit when she gets home from the hospital--I am exhausted, but happy she is on the mend......My IOS is that my eyes are still dilated fron a (good) doc app't today & I'm running blind here--lol--it will pass!
Hugs to all the good witches & the bad witches can "kiss it" !!!
Be well & stay strong!

Oh Saint you would expect better from girls with 98% averages. But maybe compassion and brains are exclusive of each other. All I know are the ones I count as friends are Brilliant, Compassionate, Wonderful people. And those snobs back in the 70s missed the boat.
I am glad your friend is healing. I am still struggling with the memory of having bad news on Thursday with respect to HSHI and someone else and I dont remember the second one. How can I honour her properly?
They are giving me a date-rape drug for my port. It will hurt while they install but I will forget that day and the day before within hours. I can live with that.
0 -
Oh my! so, you'll be hurting and feeling it, yet won't remember...that is scary! You're a better woman than I, dear dream!
when do you get this done?0 -
Hugs Dream-do what you do best--write something beautiful & post it here for all of us to share in honor of those you miss!
For that sx-ask if that aussie nurse can come hold your hand & all will be well!! LOL Maybe the drug will be so good you can imagine he's there....HAHAHAahahah

Good Morning and shouting out a big that sux to everyone that needs to hear it today. As usual I'm a little lost as to what is going on with everyone. My IOS is that I caught a really bad cold that turned into a huge bronchial infection. Had to convince my PCP to let me go home instead of putting me in the hospital. I have been off work all week, and today I am starting to feel like a human being again. Weakened immune system, thats my gift from chemo.
Amy G: Waving hello to you and hoping today is a better day.
Diane: It seems like forever since I have talked to you. I did get a laugh at your post about your friend singing...wrong words lol. I think I do that all the time. When I'm alone in the shower and no one can hear me.
Dreamer: Having a UTI really sucks. I'm glad you are recovering well although I'm not sure about those Australian male nurses lol. Having to get a new port sucks, but guess it's better than having to be poked a gazillion times.
Maria: I agree with Traci, you deserve the biggest thats sucks award for the day. Just so sorry you are having to go through all of this.
Traci: I forgot how many times this thread has made me laugh out loud. When I read your post about the pantyhose, I laughed out loud. Of course one must experience them falling below the belly to fully understand. I was visiting an older lady at a hospital the other day. I told her how cold it was outside and she said but you have a baby to keep you warm. Sure enough she was looking at my jelly belly.
Nancy: I'm a believer that we should celebrate our birthday week, not just the day lol. So tomorrow is your Birthday. What a lovely gift from your brother. Incredible about your car. My car is 2 years old and has the same amount of miles! Records, albums, 8 tracks, tapes, and CD's. I have them all and many are the same songs lol.
Colleen: Love your choice of music. Saw Jethro Tull in concert many years ago.
Wish: Ha ha, I too have my old record player. My albums are pricelss.
Saint: As usual you always put a smile on my face. Love the good witches bad witches comment!
Sue: I remember reading a post from you. I have missed talking to you. Whenever I hear the phrase "dog assed tired." I think of you. Hoping things are going well with you.
Sorry to have missed some of you. Just really hard to catch up with everyone and chemobrain sure doesn't help. Hope you all have a good day...without any IOS.
Love ya all.

Sweeties, just holding my place. Need to do a big catch-up later.
Chemosabi, great to see you, girl!!! How's work??
I'm sorry to hear that Felicia dropped out. I hate that anyone would feel driven away by negative poo-poo, but I can understand it unfortunately.
{{{{{{{{{{{ Everyone }}}}}}}}}}}}

Hopefully, the negative poo-poo throwers will move on! We're fighting enough battles already...we don't need to fight poo-poo from our own sisterhood. I'll be quiet now, so as to not disturb the easily disturbable. And, since I never did see any of the posts in question, I have no idea who said what to whom!

To all my friends here who got caught up in the crossfire yesterday, I would like to apologize for venting my anger and frustration at what was being said and done on another thread here. LAphoenix was right about my post being inappropriate and I'm glad she removed it before it upset anyone else. Regardless of my issues, I was less than mature in handling the situation and I am sorry I broke our rule of no personal attacks -here or anywhere. I should have taken a walk around the block instead of lowering my standards and invading our safe haven. I would have posted to you all sooner but, I got grounded
So please accept my apologies, I love you all dearly and didn't mean to bring more crapola into your world.
Chemo ~ I'm sorry if I let you down, yesterday was not my best day. I hope your cold is better.
Traci ~ The new avatar is my chemo puppy (Charlie Brown), I just figured out how to upload pictures this weekend. My other doggie is doing ok...she has problems, but don't we all...$400.00 in vet bills to get a "maybe this, maybe that. She needs a special diet". Um, how much for this UN-formation? I suppose the most important thing is she's home and will be ok, hopefully for years to come!
Would love to read all the other posts but...I WANT A BEER! I'll check back with you all later...I love guys, I mean it!! ...as Traci would say

Last week's writing (had to miss this week and next)
I loved the forest and the easy ability to get there. The flowers were purple and orange and white. The sunlight blinked in from between the leaves overhead. I felt as comfortable as a native - my beaded headband keeping the hair from my eyes. The music pulsed like a heartbeat,. Strings, harps, guitars and other instruments I couldn't even name. My spirit guide is a butterfly of soft yellow black. The haven feels like spring, warm winds and cool temperature. A little strange since my snowman has not melted. It stands on my front lawn, the prettiest snowman I could make.
In this exercise we had to incorporate the words guitar, piano, snowman as well as provide our spirit guide.
The butterfly has told me that I must push my winter thoughts aside and allow myself to grow and be happy. One day I may join the angels. But not this day. So this day, I need to rejoice and feel forever young.0 -
What is a chemo puppy? Is it a service dog or a pet? Does everyone with cancer qualify or only those on this thread.. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
0 -
Beautiful, Dream. Thank you for sharing.

Fly, not to worry. We are all here for each other.
As for the chemo puppy............my dog stuck by me like glue during chemo...........and actually still does. I guess he's a chemo puppy.
0 -
Thanks.... my beautiful Maine Coone cat had BC and then I guess I was her palliative care nurse. And now my remaining cat sticks to me like glue... so she would be a chemo kitty. Thanks for the explanation. Bandit wants to know if chemo puppy cute?

Hugs all!
My avatar IS my chemo pup! It's mystical how I ended up with a second dog (& a lap dog at that!) but from the day we "rescued" him (I use the term loosely as my sis & I both spent mucho denero purchasing our rescued dogs) he has provided me with all the affection I could want. If I felt like walking in the woods for a few miles he was on it--kept up with the big dog, too! But when I was in bed all last winter he was at my side constantly. He is one of the many experiences on this journey that make me believe in re-incarnation! Honestly, when I got him I did ALL the things I tell ppl NEVER to do when getting a new pet: bought him sight unseen-saw his pic in the on line ad & just KNEW he was mine; got an "older dog" (5 months) instead of a pup & I usally lean toward a female for ease in training; and lastly--don't go for a purebred but an orphan........guess I proved myself wrong on all counts!! LOLOL
I never sleep alone---even if dh falls asleep on the couch I ALWAYS have my man-dog leaning against me!
MAN! ppl just love to talk about their pets! LOL guess that's why I like making the follow-up calls at the humane society to see how the adoptions are going (it is time consuming,b ut so rewarding!)
HUGS & WhaSux to all who need it...btw fly----not a problem--bitch is our name & venting is our game!

Now that I know what IOS means, I had a fender bender today. I was pulling out of parking spot at the grocery store and a lady came whipping down the aisle and I went into her front side door. The gouge went for another 6 feet which tells you how fast she was going!
Apparently it's my fault as I was the car backing out. The stress and adrenaline was starting to put me into a spiral and I have been fighting the urge all day to just give in and say what the fuck, you win!
She started to bitch and I opened my coat and said I don't really need this, I just had a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer. I made sure she was looking at my flat chest when I said "last month".
How many times are we allowed to play the cancer card?
Did I even post this in the right thread? Is this the sucky thread?
0 -
Hi barbe, yes, you came to the right thread! That is definitely an IOS! So sorry! I think you can use the cancer card for as long as it works.
I am so sorry to hear Felicia has left the boards. I guess I don't really know how things work here. I should probably go read the rules. I find it hard to believe that people can get other people banned from the boards who haven't done a thing wrong by simply voting to have a post removed so many times. I must admit I have never read the rules, though. That just doesn't make sense to me.
Lisa, I was so hapopy to see your post the other day (was it yesterday?). I was reading and thinking to myself, "I'm going to have to go searching for Lisa to find out how she is doing." Next think I knew, there was your post! I hope you are holding your own, dear sister.
I truly hope we can keep this thread friendly and properly bitchy. We are way too old to be acting like high school girls. The ignore feature works well if you have a personality conflict you can't bear.
It was also good to get the news on DebC, I hope to hear from her soon. This freakin disease is evil.
Looking forward to the animal updates and hoping for the best.
Love to all,
Miss S

Yep Barbe, you found the suckie thread and that event sure sucked, Having the cancer card to use sucks too. But since ya got it........use it.
