My fellow IOS girls - I am heading out for the night, Seacrest Out!
(Um, yeah, I think I'm losing it just a bit...)
0 -
seacrest? More info please? I must have lost it already, b/c I have no idea what you are talking about! HELP!
OMGosh, why is it the more I get done, the further behind I get! Everything I take a step forward, I'm going backwards, every time I think I've accomplished something worthy to say I am finished, theres's something more someone wants from me! ;p it's just too much to do in such a little while.
And to beat it all, there is Deb's family I think about. Those little girls and her dh who was so strong for her and kept us up on her progress. I just am ill thinking about them and hoping I can keep it together long enough to make that call to the florist
CRAP is what it is....just crap that we lose such beautiful human beings to such a hideous disease that seemingly has no boundaries.....there is absolutely no words to describe the heart ache I feel for all you women who knew her personally or like most of us did through this forum....just a sad time.........and then I think what would Deb want? And I still get a chuckle when I see her avatar with her headdress.........what a beautiful soul God has in his presence today.....0 -
Whats sad is that this story is playing out over and over again, different people, specifics a little different but the same fight, same heart ache, same ending.

........and we are all brought closer together.

Yes, Deb is still pulling us together through her passing and bringing us laughter at how totally ridiculous it is to be fighting amongst ourselves when our lives are precious and our friendships so dear......I think it speaks volumns for her in what she did and is continuing to do...to inspire us to step up rather than back... Gosh I will miss her daily additions..all of them, any of them, each of them....

I hope so Sharon, I hope so

Just a question, but has someone contacted Felicia to let her know about Deb?
Gentle Hugs,
Trish

Trish -- yes, Felicia knows, and someone else posted a message from Felicia (on the "Alaska Deb... Angel" thread).
0 -
Actually, yes, I did about an hour or so ago....

I've gotta buy my rose for Deb tomorrow. When I finally got the chance to do it today, I started to tear up even before I dialed the number of the florist in Alaska. I know that florists are sort of used to this, but oh gawd...
0 -
I think that number for the florist was probably started twice at least by each of us Kathi....a difficult call to put through

Just running by to say THAT SUCKS to all that need it today.
Gentle Hugs,
Trish

Can someone give me the link Deb's angel list and how do I order a rose. I am so sad. I lost a friend last week to this awful thing after suffering for over 10 years. I was asked to sing at the funeral and had a very difficult time. The on Sunday a young girl, 23 killed herself a year after her mother lost the battle. This disease sucks.

Oh Pinky, how tragic. Yes, this disease does suck! Hugs to you.

Pinky, here is the link for Deb's pink roses.

Pinky - Deb's angel thread is in the recurrance and mets forum. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll post a link for you. Sorry about the loss of your friend - I just hate this - Cancer absolutely sucks!

Okay, IOS time if that's okay...
We put down a cat of 21 years after letting it use the new dining room carpeting for it's litter box. We figured poor Benson couldn't get down the stairs to the real litter box. We laid a gorgeous laminate down and except for the few hack-ups, no one has shit on it yet.
To our dismay, the oldest cat (3 remaining) has started using a table in the corner of the livingroom to shit under.
We have left our bedroom door open to use the heat from our fireplace to warm it (bungalow). We don't have our furnace on again this year as we're trying to save money! (30 degrees makes it a cozy sleep....)
Anyway, last night while asleep, the youngest cat at 15, was standing up beside me shaking. I wear earplugs so I dont' hear my husband snoring so I didn't know he was hacking. I pulled out the plug just in time to hear the propulsion, right on my comforter. SHIT.
I turned over and fell back asleep.

WhaSux?? Hurling, defecating cats FOR SURE! My last 3 cats lived to be almost 20, 21 & 22---I KNOW the routine! Current "boy" is 15!!!!
I'm woried: My friend is still not rebounding----I'm trying to stay positive, but I am really afraid that it may be a major IOS & hoping there is some explanation (besides luekemia) for low WBC's. She had a fever last nite & still feels bad, so new blood draws were done today......pray for some resolution, please. (one good thing that may come out of this: I introduced her to a woman who became close to her a couple of years ago. She is very threatened by my friendship with her! She MAY get over it as I keep trying to connect with her & make her feel included! I honestly DID need someone to commiserate with--so we shall see if the high school jealousies fade--I can hope!)
I think the idea for the tribute to Deb is spot-on! As a former floral designer I can tell you that it will make a glorious presentation & makes much more sense than anything else I have ever seen or heard suggested. It is so hard to process what her family must be feeling. Hugs to all here who knew & loved her sprightly personality!
I have 2 SOI's: Going to see Revolutionary Road tonite! Hope it is worth going out in the cold! I have 7 dinners made for my family in my absense next week! If I had a camera filming me preparing it I coulda tried out for FoodTV! It was like a ballet! LOL
Be well & stay strong

Hey y'all,
No time to post individually....so a hearty that SUCKS for everybody!!
I've got so much to do. My OAOA will be here tomorrow so, it is likely that I will be MIA while he's here, but I promise I will check in.
I now have to clean, clean, clean and....try to find something other than granny pannies....(yes, I think I might just GO FOR IT!!!) I know that's gonna make y'all sooooooo happy!
I have to vacuum, paint my toenails.....oh God....so much to do, so little time.
I've got butterflies in my great big giant fat tummy!!!!!!
Love you guys,
Traci
ps My other IOS...my brother surprised me with a tribute CD of my dad that passed away. It was great but brought the tears on full force. I can only imagine what it's going to do to my sis here in Dallas (he sent one to all of the siblings) she is so much more emotional than I am. If you can imagine that!!

Tracie,
I say go for it. I don't know what else to say. I have found that putting on a sexy little top makes things a little easier. Lately, I have ended up with it off, at his request. I still have expanders and have not gotten totally comfortable with how they look.
You could treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure. It is totally worth it.

dream OAOA is On Again Off Again!
Traci - if you haven't seen it yet - please see Gina's post in Moving Beyond titled "Magical, Magnificent Deb" ... Please include it in the book for Deb's family!

So sorry...Saint....prayers for your friend.. so much suckiness with this dreadful disease and too many otheres to even begin to understand as a a result of its treatments effects...

Hugs for everyone. Treatments, scans, tests, cold and blustery weather, sick pets and family members, financial worries, aches and pains, sadness, depression, and loss of our loved ones, especially our own Alaska Deb -- THAT SUCKS.
Be as gentle TO and FOR yourself as possible. Treat yourself, even if it is only a bubble bath, a hot fudge sundae, a new chap stick, or a drive thru McD coffee. You deserve it.
Peace, Love and Blessings, Nancy

Hugs or that sux--You pick!
AKA---I just love you---I'll take all the above please!---barbe--I like that one!
TRACI!!!!!!!! JUST DO IT!!! LOL
The movie is "heavy" in subject & TOTALLY worth the $9.50 it cost --see Revolutionary Road!
My friend is trying to send me off on my planned trip without a worry, but she is being scheduled for a consult with my onc (blood disorders) I just feel I should be here to go with her.....she says we have the phone & is doing her best to push me off the fence (God knows our friendship is EASILY worth forfeiting a plane ticket!!!) One good thing--she isn't eating & this am I said---your wish is my command--tell me what you want to eat--after 10 minutes she said Carrot Soup--so I am off to the onc then the store then back to my kitchen----here is what this taught me--even if she doesn't want this soup---she made me feel like I could DO something for her---WE all need to remember that ppl want to help--so give them a job & let THEM paint your toenails!!!! LOLOL
Be well & stay strong

Okay, first let me say that I am totally pissed at myself.
In September when I had my surgery I was not able to complete a class I was taking and asked for an incomplete which was granted.
Somewhere along the line I informed the teacher that I would get the work in by January 15. Lets say I have no recollection of this date. As far as I remember I had until May. Now I have an F in the class and have to beg the teacher to give me another extension to turn in the paper.
Until now I have had a 4.0 in my graduate work. Now I have a F on my transcript if this teacher doesn't have the kindness to give me some more time.
I guess fighting cancer, going through surgery and remember dates don't go hand in hand.
Damn I hate being sick and not being on top of my game!

Pinklee, have you "played the cancer card?" Surely that would work...
