    oh Barbe...I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you F that...I know it's easier said than done but your credit score is not a reflection on YOU...sometimes things happen that are beyond our control..you didn't take the money to foxwoods casino and gamble it away...it just wasn't there! I'm sorry, I wish I had it to send to you...

    WhaSux??

    Shorted a major amount of cash sure does suck the big wazoo! Now might be a good time to play that cancer card!!!

    Well gals--challenge met & mission accomplished---only took some flattery & swallowing some humble pie--I think I have diverted a major IOS into what MAY become an SOI! How's that for biting the bullet & being the bigger person (tho my ego took a hit--lol it can stand it!) So this has been a good day! HUGS

    Be well & stay strong

    Renee... I am sorry about your loss.  This is first time I have been in since, so this is first time I had opportunity to say that. 

    My husband came home in a tear because we had been re-assessed and now I OWE $7,000 in back taxes (income taxes).... long story.... finally got him calm.... and they are looking into the situation as they admit they did get all the forms last year.... big brou-ha-ha.

    We keep saying, send us the $32,000 and we will be happy to pay the taxes.  But NOOOOO instead they find the problem and fix it....

    Navy...love the break down.  Page 250

    Thank you for the kind words ladies.  Ya'll know I hate it when people say we have the "good kind of cancer."  It makes me want to harm someone, but I'd have to say that I'm grateful that funding and awareness has made our treatments and research more advanced than other types of cancer. Watching someone die from melanoma and struggle through treatment makes it seem so barbaric.

    I'm also grateful for this website.  Count your website blessings ladies.  What would we do without each other?  My friend seached high and low for a support group she could fit in with and could'nt find a one.

    Hugs everybody.

    Renee, every time I think about my cancer, (you know, all the time when I'm not thinking about something else) I think about my support group here. There are no words for how grateful I am.

    Nighty nite my cyber friends. I hope you all sleep well.

    (((Traci)))) me too....(grateful)

    Can someone puh-leeze explain to my wtf has happened to my ability to sleep since my ovaries came out? I understand the hot flashes and night sweats but I am having soooo much trouble just sleeping more than 2 hours at a time. Monday night I popped a couple of benadryl at bedtime and I managed to get a solid 3 hours, but it didn't work tonight...I dozed off for 30 minutes and I've been awake ever since...and I took pain meds with it! I'm gonna have to get me some more Ambien!

    Watching Animal Planet...tonights show is "untamed" Terror in the deep...it's basically about humans that are stupid enough to do things like; feed a moray eel pieces of sausage by hand (dumba** lost his thumb when the eel bit it off by mistake), go into shark infested waters in a steel cage that had been modified by having bars cut out so they could stick a camera out (no one was hurt but someone should have been for that stupid stunt) and a diver that gets up close to an octopuss and then is surprised when it attaches itself to his face and attempts to suck the life out of him.

    There is only one commonality in all of this - they were all men. Nuf said :)

    Today is my retirement day.  It's 4:15 a.m. and I have gotten out of my warm soft bed for work for the last time.  It feels so good, and of course I will miss all the people, but I won't miss the bulls&*t. Today I will just be checking out and returning keys and ID badges (badges?!?) and hugging people goodbye for now.  Everyone says keep in touch but I wonder how many really will.  Another opportunity to find out who your friends are?  I am always surprised. I feel reflective on my life's work so far, and calm, and  ready for the next adventure.  I can't wait to see what happens next. Yesterday one of the controllers asked me if I wanted to come down and work airplanes this morning and I said, No thank you.  I lost my medical a year ago because of bc, and I did not know the last time I worked airplanes was the last time.  That's how I want to leave it, sort of, I went out at the top of my game. I will miss feeling like I am one of the few who can do my job (feeling important).  I know I am still important, just not sure how it;s all going to fit together now, I just know it WILL.

    Thanks, women for listening. My cousin, Mary Ann, who had been an alcoholic for as long as i can remember, died in her sleep night before last. She was 46. I am so, so sad.  We grew up together, she always looked up to me, we talked on the phone every couple of weeks, and every time I went home she made time for us to get together just me and her. I will miss her forever. And I am angry at the waste. I will be traveling tomorrow thru Sunday for the  funeral and will probably be out of  touch. 

    Again, thanks for listening.  I love all of you and wish we could do a group hug this morning, I could sure use one.

    Traci, I am having a right prophylactic mast and bilateral DIEP reconstruction at Medical City Dallas on April 15th,  Sorry I didn't tell you. Call me and let's get together before my surgery. Love you girl, it was so good to meet you.Trish, can't remember if you are on this thread but you can come too!

    Love all you guys, I couldn't do it without you. Anybody I left out, THAT SUCKS!

    Love,

    Sue

    Oh Barbe, I am so sorry.  Just when you think you have things under semi-control something big comes in and slams you in the gut.  It doesn't f**king end.

    You are always such a cheerleader for the group I hate that this is happening to you right now.  I hope the pain meds help.  I know I can't think of anything else when I'm in pain.  And I do know how you feel - my sister told me they had to reverse the anesthesia to get me to wake up after mastetomy and there are days when I think why didn't you just let me go - why are we prolonging the agony (my own demons - not bc).

    My prayers are with you always.

    I don't seem to be able to get off this thread.  Big SUX for me.  Last night when I let the dogs back in my cat dashed out the door.  He is an indoor cat.  I grabbed shoes and a flashlight (the cat is a tuxedo with on the white on his under carriage) and it was 11:30 at night.  Usually when this happens (rarely) he is under the deck.  While I have to fold myself in half to get under there I can retrieve.  When I ran out I saw him by the fence.  I ran to get him and he wiggled through the fence slats to a wooded area.  I ran around to the gate and saw him in the woods but he got away again.  I looked for him for 2 hours and then waited to see if he would come back.  I went to bed at 2:30 and woke up again at 4:30 expecting to find him on the deck or the front porch.  Not there.  When it gets light I will go out again.  Damn.

    Navygirl: having the same problem from the chemopause.  I knew it was a common symptom of menopause, but very disabling some days.

    Sue, sorry for your loss, good luck with surgery, and congrats on the retirement.

    Kathleen, hope your cat is back and you get some sleep

    Sue, get a lot of hugs today and bank some happiness! Good for you!

    kmccraw, please let us know when you find your fur baby!

    I am in 100% commission sales and I work bloody hard for it! (especially in this economy) They made a boo boo on my pay cheque. Oh, a boo boo? A $1,600 boo boo!!!!! My boss is horrified for me, she knows I live pay cheque to pay cheque, and she's met my husband with the 3 brain tumours. We put a stop payment on our mortgage and now I don't even care. That's the most dangerous position to be in, one of apathy. Sigh.............

    (((((((((((( Group HUGS ))))))))))))))) So sorry for all the SUCKINESS going on.   THAT SUCKS, big time, and don't anyone tell me " it too will pass".   I may have to hurt someone !!!   

    Minor aches and pains here that do not require any meds; just a crappy feeling/mood.   Allergies kicking in with all the blossoms, coupled with the Herceptin drippy nose.   I will play bridge today and get out of this apartment.  The PITA who wanted to sell me a book on holistic healing may be back from her winter in California (snow bird).  IF so, she may get an earfull or the silent treatment.  

    More gentle HUGS and Blessings,   Nancy

    (((((sue))))) you will always be important to us! I'm so happy for you about the retirement but so sad about the loss of your cousin. I understand the sadness over the waste. Not being able to take the devil away from someone you love is the worst feeling.

    Barbe...must be the week for it. I opened my pay statement at 4am this morning and they jacked mine up too. Unfortunately, it's a system issue and I know about it so at least I am always half expecting it to get screwed up. Somehow that helps me not be as upset when it is.

    Big tearful whine...I moved wrong last night and popped my hernia. This time it's not going back in so I have to go in to the doctor today. Please, Jesus, do not let this require surgery. I will cry. I just was ready to return to work from last weeks surgery and I do this? Ugh.

    That SUX to anyone who needs it!!!!!!!

    Other than a huge congrats for retiring!!  And, I'm so hoping to follow you...

    There's nothing to say but HOLY SUX!!!  Vast amounts of suckage for the rest!!  The farther down I read just now, the suckier things got.  And so many different types of suckiness. 

     I hope the money is returned, the hole is fixed, the kitty is found, and that all of us have somebody we can lean on... cyberly-speaking, at least in times of loss, sorrow, anxiety, pain, and any other assault upon our well-being.

    Anyone else groan everytime a statement from the insurance company comes because you know it means you'll be on the phone arguing with them?  Out of the blue they decide my Onc isn't a preferred provider and they won't pay for a visit, or any further visits with her  (of course they paid for one the week after showing how random and ridiculous it was).  Check with the hospital and Onc, she is, insurance company is wrong.  It's just one of many arguments with them, additional co-pays, not paying for wig, oncotype testing after written statement that they would etc.  We dread those envelops.

    Sue - I am amazingly jealous of you being able to retire. I'm sure it will be terribly strange, you'll have to restructure your whole life, but Oh, the places you'll go and the things you'll see!

    As another recovering AA, I would also like to say how terribly sorry I am for your loss. It's my family's favorite way out, so I've been to more than a few funerals like that - women, way too young. Pray that she has expiated whatever sins she paid for in this life, and the next time around she has a full and happy one.

    I'm home from hospital...good news, no hernia = no surgery. Bad news, other than a pocket of blood we know nothing about what is causing this pain. WTF?

    Holy Suckage!!  It sounds as though yesterday's issues are over - except for the bloody pain!!    I'm  jumping aboard the acoholic wagon, as well.  Not me, (my addiction is sugar, a close relative of alcohol) but most of my father's 10 brothers and sisters, and many of my cousins. 

     My own son has been addicted to everything from alcohol to opium in his 40 years on earth, so I can well understand the pain and the anger involved.

    My mother has never forgiven my aunts and uncles for ruining many parties, etc. even though they are all long gone.   Most, by cancer, btw.  I guess she assumed they just drank to make her life miserable.

    Addiction is a horrible disease.

    Holy Mackrel...so sorry for all the crappiness going on. Hoping everything straightens out soon.

    Sue, I retired April 18 last yr. So do not miss the nonsense, stress,pressure being responsible for...well everything. Because of other issues (mostly cancer related) its taken a while but I am finally settling down and enjoying the freedom. Big deep sigh.  Wishing you all the best!!

    Feel like crap today, spent the morning with really bad headache and vomiting, think I will crawl back to bed.
