So...the dog drolled on the power cord to my laptop and shorted it out. I figure I'll use DH's as he is at work. I should know better than to go looking for things I don't want to know,but I decided to check his browsing history. It seems that he is obsessed with Leah Remini's boobs, went to a site to see if he is too large for sex, looked up ways to improve his sex life and read an article called, "The 7 deadly sins of Divorce. I'm the queen of passive aggressive, so I clicked on one of the photos of Leah Remini and made it hiis wallpaper so he'd know I saw it. He gets home from work around 11:30 PM, so I was already in bed when he got home. He got called back in at 7 this morning, but his wallpaper is changed, so I know he's been on the computer, but he hasn't said a word about it. I tossed and turned all night. My stomach is a big knot and I hate myself.
I'm glad I can bitch here because it's not like I can post something like this on facebook or talk to my kids about it!

Jane-THAT SUCKS!!! But you know what, he's not worth you having that feeling in the pit of your stomach, or losing any sleep over. And really, Leah Remini??! Pleeeeease. Loved what you did with his computer:)

(((Jane))) I stumbled on a stand-up comedian the other night while surfing channels and for 15 minutes this guy talked about his marriage and the fact that all he really wants, like most men, is sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. He said it's all that matters to him and was just going on and on. Of course some of the things he was saying were really funny, but I realized as the show ended that he was probably speaking the truth.
After my treatment, when I started thinking about getting out in the real world again, I decided to put an 'ad' on Match.Com. The first line in my profile was: Looking for love without sex. After 90 days, I canceled that account because even though I had over 426 men click on my picture to read my profile, not one man 'winked' or otherwise tried to reach out to me. Not one.
My sister Debbi says if and when she ever gets divorced, she's going to try to find an impotent, international pilot to marry. LOL!!!
Men.

Jane, that really SUCKS!!!

Make sure you read that article too because knowlege is power, and hang in there.

Granny...good to know! My grammie always said, when in doubt - ask! Glad I did
Jane...I just don't even know what to say. It sucks when you think you know someone...and then you find out maybe not so much. Love the passive aggressive way you let him know though, that was f/n funny!
Traci...426? Not one was willing to find out more? It's so, so sad. You know, 20 years ago when I first came out, a lot of people were like "what??? when? WHY?" -- I find now in my mid 40's, no one even bats an eyelash. Personally, I think it's because we are collectively coming to understand that men REALLY ARE from Mars!
Patmom...so good to see you here again!
I had a fabulous day of swimming and playing games in the pool with the kids; it's so dang good to be rid of the boot. There was one harrowing moment though; the house I was at has a 1 yr old lab that loves to swim...so I swam a few laps with her. At one point, she caught up to me and decided to climb on my back and take a rest. The only problem was, we were in the deep end and her leg got caught in my swim strap when she was climbing on! For a brief moment I actually thought I was going to drown trying to get out from under neath this 50lb dog!!! I finally got my head out of the water just enough to yell for help when she put me back under. The whole thing was caught on video as my partner was taping one of the kids in the pool playing -but she wasnt' watching me.
To her credit, as soon as she realized I was in trouble she dropped her brand new 400.00 phone and jumped in to pull the dog off me. Of course, the dog never once thought she was causing a problem and when my girl jumped in -she jumped on her thinking she must have come to join the fun. Could you imagine the irony of being drowned by a dog the very first time I finally get to go back in the pool? I promise, I can not make this sh*t up!I think tomorrow I'll stick to weeding the garden

Helllllo Ladies!
Who out there can relate to having to take their medicines "on time" "every day" "with food" "without food" "with plenty of water," or "Do not crush?"
It SUXS, I tell you! It sucks. 13 meds and hanging in here. Tummy feels yucky most of the time. But there's a pill for nausea! Yeeee haaaaaw!
Good and bad days with the healing fractured leg.
Prayers for the ladies on the boards. I gotta get back to reading more of your letters now, I'm more behind than my own butt.
I did catch the one about dog drooling on the power cord. Sorry about that.
That's a NEW one. Remember people, keep all liquids away from your PC and every part you have attached to your PC... yes, coffee is a liquid - stop that - no, ice coffee is not a "solid." -sessna1

Ladies,
These boards are about living with cancer, and some posts tell us about those who cease living with cancer. You come to the doughnut shop and complain because you can't get a hamburger and fries? Oy vey. You want to ignore all the hot coffee cups on the tables?
Not as long as the shop keeps serving coffee and doughnuts, ladies. Not as long as the sun rises tomorrow and the glazed krispy kreme's swim towards the cooling racks.
grannydukes - there is a who section in the bookstore (any bookstore or library) about dealing with stress. There are counselors, therapists, and psychologists who will talk with you, psychiatrists who will prescribe you pharmaceuticals, people who will pray for and with you, and no way to make the world as you would have it to be most of the time to mitigate daily conflict. barbe1958 is right. ... and she usually is.
There is "good stress" and "bad stress."
We all must learn to find different avenues to handle our problems after we recognize that the street we're on is heading us in a direction that we shouldn't go in. Stress isn't going to change, grannydukes, you have to change - that is, the way you handle it so that it doesn't overwhelm you. You handle it - don't let it handle you.
A baby left in a wet diaper goes from uncomfortable to irritated to stressed, well, most of ‘em. Warehoused baby orphans can learn not to "react" normally. They don't even smile. That there is a point past stress that we are not meant to go to. Stress means that you still learning about your life and the lives of others. You're still with us. No more stress? No more life.
immarybell - you made me gag and laugh. Thank you. Children aren't so much "smarter" than we were; they're a lot more mischievous with time on their hands not doing the chores that we had to do. <Take a taxi back to school... from lunch period? Cheeky. Quite cheeky.> ‘Two hundred miles from civilization, convent, and befriend the only pregnant, drug-addled nun in the place...'your husband is quite a humorist.
Aussie Shiela - Then what do we call an unborn bairn? The pea in your pod? Your little bundle to be? Your new arrival? Must be a pregnant mom thing...
connie07 - Insurance billing processors make errors, too. I just had them deny paying a bill because I'm 'on Medicare and Medicare hasn't paid its portion.' What's wrong with that? ... I have never been on Medicare, and I'm not old enough to receive Medicare yet. They basically said, ‘Oh. Yeah. Well, we'll re-process that.'
And yes, praise God that we have a place to blow off steam, and even though it seems the owners of the boards might make a book out of some of the threads, not everyone who would/could read the threads would understand. No more than all of our friends, relatives, and people who would say that they know us well. Sometimes I think about mortality, and I always end up with, "Sooner or later, many people haven't made it to my age." I don't like having a haywire'd body. I don't care for the setbacks... and I ain't getting' off the Brahma bull yet. Put in another .75 somebody, and plump up the hay on the floor!
navygirl - I didn't have children. Now, some of them thank me for it. We weren't all made to have families comin' in and going out. Often times, you get some sisters and brothers by choosing them. In many states, adult adoption is legal (Honest. Really. Just a lil' trivia there).
barbe1958 - Waaaait a minute. If one is trying to make the belly look like a derriere, is the belly button the outlet? This is one strange visual. I can't go there. No, my mirror and I won't go there. Oh! Traci-----T said ‘a butt.' Your belly doesn't have to look like YOUR butt, just someone's butt. That's better. There are lots of butts out there to choose from.
Jane M - Leah Remini's boobs have seen better days, any so many on television have seen good plastic surgeons. See, Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn't cover them up enough for men to wonder about what's there, so she's really giving away the ice cream for free...
You are a good woman to go there and then say that you should not have gone there. You have a great conscience. I have said it, thus, it is so. Who has great willpower on another ones' PC? That's why personal PCs should stay personal. I gotta burn some old journals before I leave this earth. I shouldda done it yesterday...

i'm with you Sessna1, taking meds SUX BIG TIME! I've just been through a fright about eating too soon after meds. I was told 18 months ago, not to eat 2hrs before and 30 mins after taking a certain med. Then hospital pharmacist says1 hr after! I look up med on Google, says no eating 1hr before and after. The grim reaper is standing behind me, waiting, and I can't get the same protocol two out of three times from the experts? Sheesh..............now I need meds for stress!
I might go for the old Dagwood name of 'Baby Dumpling.'
I'm in the middle of a situation at the moment between two sons and their partner/wife.
Younger married son's wife threw a surprise 50th b'day party a month ago for her mother.
Older son and partner weren't invited, even though they invited the younger couple to O. sons' partners mothers birthday party.......whew........did I just say that?
Younger couple attended older cples party.
Older son wants to know why they weren't invited until the day of the party when he turned up at their house unexpectedly. He has asked me if I know the reason for the omission. I don't! I won't ask either, as I don't want to be caught up in any of their sibling spats.
Every time I see them now, I get the jitters in case they ask me if I know anything. This afternoon, older son's partner turned up out of the blue.............by herself, something she has never done before in 8 yrs. As I tried to get my brain and tongue into the same gear, she asked me if I would help her to arrange a baby shower for younger sons wife. It looks like whatever was going on is not an issue any more.................but I think, as mothers, we women walk a very fine line on mine laiden ground once our kids enter long term relationships.
I know I will have to tell them that I will not become involved in their arguments for the good of all concerned. It may seem selfish but I don't want to be remembered as the Mother-in-law from hell.

Sheila, I've almost bitten my tongue off so many times I have a permanent groove. Now I just have to run my tongue over my teeth to feel that groove to remind myself to shut up! I, too, don't want to be the mother-in-law from hell! I hope they realize how lucky they are with us!!

I've not been here in a long time. It hasn't been quite as long as wishiwere (hey, wish -- good to hear from you again!); but it's been a few pages...
So, when I decided to stop by to catch up on what's been happening, my computer dropped me right on top of Sessna1 and I guess I broke her leg.
There is a lot of suckiness going on. It all sux. I hope you don't mind if I laugh a little and shake my head as I read, because sometimes the telling is so good.
Hugs...

HELLO tonight. I had planned to sit outside on the back patio last night and read and catch up but I forgot to plug in my laptop and got occupied with other things. It's warm out here but not as hot as last night and we have a nice breeze.
Well, I've waited for some sort of injection in my spine since early April. Hoping for an epidural where that disk is buldging. And I finally got two cortisone shots in the SI joints, basically my butt, just slightly above it and they hurt so bad when the lidocaine wore off I thought I might get sick it hurt so bad. Then I had swelling for several days. Most of the time it's helped. Improving every day.
Today, I got going at 8:30 and was Nanny most of the day. Started wearing out about 4 and haven't really recovered. That's about the way my days are going lately. I need some grandmother direction, I want she and I to bond of course, but I also want to open up the world to this adventurous, spunky little girl. She's 15 months now, walking and talking. I don't have the funds to shop for creative toys and want the interaction. We've been watching the videos for 'your baby can read' and they sing songs too and that's good but it's not creative... I guess THAT'S what I want to do with her, we already garden, but it's so hot and humid here that's uncomfortable now. suggestions any of you grandmothers out there?
Baby's had pneumonia. Doc called it atypical and in the peri-hilar region of her lungs, very upper part I think. She's on a course of antibiotics and other meds thank goodness, they appear to be working.
Having a sick baby in the house is overwhelming. I'm getting old.
Here's to surviving another day! Congratulations!
~Connie

Connie, I'm not a grandmother yet, but if you don't mind I have a couple of suggestions. Have you tried any thrift stores or yard sales for good quality toys? Also, does your local public library or child care association have a toy lending program? When my kids were little, my husband was a student and we had no money for extras, and our library was a sanity saver. Between the story times and toddler play area, we spent a lot of time there. That and the fact that it had air conditioning, which was a blessing in the summer. I hope that your baby gets well soon, and your back feels better as well.
I hope that you all have a suck free week.

Connie, the ladies here as usual have such wonderful ideas.
Libraries are great resources. They have books, and toys, and many have activities for the little ones. If you have any museums nearby, see if they have free days, or programs for her age group.
Old socks decorated with markers (to be choking hazard safe) to make puppets can provide hours of fun. You can do the decorating at her direction until she is has the manual dexterity to do the decorating herself.
Really good toys tend to be well made, and are often still in great shape when the child they were bought for outgrows them, so those thrift shops and garage sales are great resources.
What do you love to do? Sharing the things that bring you joy will make memories that are priceless for both of you.

Connie I am a gran of 4 and I loved to do the creative things when thay were small. I used anything that I could find in my kitchen. We made pasta necklaces that were painted with non toxic paint and if no money for paint I used food dyes and string to hang it from. Glue was made from flour and boiling water with a little salt to preserve it. Old cards and magazines were cut up by me when they were too small to use scissors and by them as they grew bigger and old newspaper or butchers paper was used to stick all these wonderful things to. I think you may find in Wallmart or some other large dept store that they have craft sections and you gan buy for very little money quite large pots of glitter thar can be used on anything. I also used bits of wool , fabric and in general threads of any kind. Paddlepop sticks are good to use and so are old corks. My eldest GS loved to walk the garden with me and he learned the name of every flower I grew by the time he was two. We strolled in the garden looking for bugs and just chatting in general. Relationships with our grandchildren are built by whatever we do with them not neccessarily for them. The eldest is now almost 15 and he still loves to spend time with me and he is very artistic, his brother is 13 and he loves to build things. Maybe a little of the artist in me has rubbed off onto them. I hope this gives you some ideas. Love n hugs. chrissyb

Connie, some of these are great suggestions! What about making flash cards? Cheap, educational, fun...bonding doesn't have to be expensive
I hope baby is better by now and you have some of your energy back!I have an ongoing dilemma....nausea!!! Especially after I eat. I swear, it's like morning sickness. At first I thought it was remnants from being sick last week, but today I really thought I was going to be sick again so now I'm wondering if there isn't something else going on. Could this be a SE of the Femara I switched too? I just don't understand why it won't go away...ugh! Any ideas?
A big that sucks to anyone else who needs it! I have to go do some chores
Hugs ladies....

G'day ladies, chooks and/or pods, being that this is a stress related thread, I thought I would update all of you on a new method of stress relief.
I read this in the Sunday paper, an article by an expert on how women are so stressed these days. Apparently, if all the usual relief methods re meditation, yoga, punching a wall, or outright murder are not possible, lie down on your bed, turn your face into your pillow, and then proceed to scream your head off. Will wonders never cease? Why can't we just scream without the pillow?
Oh yes.............we're civilized............aren't we?
Sheila.

I just ROFLOL. You say that was from an expert?, OMG my granny told me to do that when I was 4 and having a tantrum.........Yes, we are definately civilised. chrissy

I heard on the news today that 'they' have found another cause of BC. Wait for it...................
The culprits are mould-killing cleaning products and air freshener sprays.
It's so obvious isn't it? I mean, who does all the cleaning and keeps the air smelling nice?
I say we all down tools and tell the menfolk to do it, it's too risky for us!
Solidarity ladies!
Sheila.
