Deb, I kind of knew you'd get the reference!!!!! Please consider that a compliment!
It was so nice to discover her books and know I wasn't alone in my nuttiness. And, while I agree we should all tramp it up once in a while, maybe Primary School is not the place, eh?
Have a great weekend ladies, and remember a laugh at my expense is STILL a laugh!!!

Megs--that sucks! (and gives new meaning to "traveling pants")
Deb--PLEASE post pics of the henna tattoo!!
WHERE do these posts go when they just disappear?!? That just happened to me for the second time today!! THAT SUCKS!!!!
My bitch is I was out of work since March 31st and NO work was done on the projects I was working on--so I spent all day catching up. Oh, well I guess it's job security.
Have a great evening ladies.

I've not heard of that author, but since I trust you all implicitly, I just ordered it from Amazon. thanks for the intro to a new author I'm sure I'll love.

Make sure not to read it in bed....you will wake up the whole house laughing! I didn't love her novel, but all her other books are a hoot. I especially liked I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl
Have fun reading

Boy, everybody has been quiet today. Must've been a good Friday...
My bitch is today that I have been feeling inexplicably sad. So okay, I know why, but it isn't because I had a really bad day or anything specific. I cried on and off all morning. My college roommate is up here from So. CA visiting her parents and wants to get together tomorrow. I had to check on a previous possiblity but when that fell through (making it easier to see her), I couldn't even call her back. It is Mother's Day on Sunday and my birthday on Monday, and I have several family things planned and I feel pretty good, but none of it sounds appealing. I'm not looking forward to any of it - I just want to hide in my room. This is so not like me and THAT SUCKS.
Even finding the words to write this was difficult...thanks for listening, guys.

So glad you had the courage to write and let us tell you---that sucks!
I've been having the down and outs lately,too. Spring fever? Nah, breast cancer residual is my guess (plus my dh's 2 cancers).
Of course the damn allergies at this time of year are total downers, as is the med for it.

Megs - Too funny! Great recovery when questioned on your jewels, I probably would've just mumbled something and ran.
Cris & Dotti - You can add me to the down list. I'm blaming mine on being closed up in my house for recovery. If I don't get to drive soon, I'll most definitely lose what little mind I have left.
Those books sound like a good diversion, I'll have to look for them.

Pia: I like to come here and bitch, but Im not a bitch. I would rather think of myself this way.
To all of you feeling sad - that sucks! I hate when it sneaks up and bites ya in the butt. Never know when its gonna happen.
DebC: I must get that book. Thats why I enjoy this thread. Despite the tears and heartache, I get a good few chuckles too.
Megs: Speaking of laughter, Im laughing my arse off right now about your story.

Cristine, HUGS to you. I've had days like that on and off lately, especially in these last few weeks of chemo when I just feel so tired and listless and boring. Mostly I feel guilty because I don't like my son to see me so sad.
Megs, thanks for the laugh. Opposite Day -- what a perfect response! OMG, if I can get myself back to a comfortable size 10 I'll be thrilled.
My parents are here for the weekend for Mother's Day and to celebrate my last chemo (and staying in a hotel with my son, so I get some quiet time in the mornings without any cartoons in the background) and my sister is coming today too. So nothing big to complain about except the usual post-chemo blahs.
I hope this is a non-sucky weekend for everyone.

Lauren -- Yay on no more chemo, enjoy the weekend with your family.
Well my crap just keeps rolling in. . .I'm feeling pretty good that I'm going to get the rads bills from last year straightened out and then I get an EOB from Aetna this morning regarding the billing from the Assistant Surgeon during my mast/recon on 4/2. Who???? No one ever mentioned an assistant surgeon to me and now I'm being told she can bill me to the tune of $1121 because she's out of network and Aetna is only paying $579 of the amount she billed. This isn't an Aetna problem, it's a matter of who requested the assistant (I'm figuring it was the PS) and why no one told me about it.
Don't you have to be informed about who's working on you? Shouldn't I have met her prior to surgery? I met everyone else. If I had known they were going to use an assistant, I would have requested it at least be an in-network doctor. . .not someone who can just charge what she wants and I have to pay it. Do I have to pay it since I wasn't informed? Anyone have any experience with this?
I'm so tired of dealing with medical crap. . .it sucks.

Meg - hahahahahahahahaha that was funny!
Deb - hahahahahahahahahahaha that was funny!!!!!!
Sheila - that sucks. Dealing with insurance sucks.
My roomies new boyfriend is a mover. He was 'analyzing' my crap yesterday trying to determine how many boxes I need. (That's he's going to give me....can't bitch about that!) Anyway, so we are going from room to room and he said a total of 100 + boxes. WTF???? Man, I gotta get busy. Plus, we determined that gas was going to cost $600+. WTF????? Plus, he told me that the 24 ft Uhaul my sister and I are going to drive only goes 60 miles per hour. WTF????? I don't know if I can do it. It's 1400 miles.
I wish I had the money to pay for Allied or something. GAWD.I got that book on Amazon for $4 + $4 shipping. "barely used". Better than trying to get my newly large arse into clothes that are presentable for the public and going to the book store.
Cristine, I know what your talking about. For awhile, my family was doing something along the lines of an intervention to get me out of the house. I still do not do near as much as I used to. But....
Last nite I took my roomies mom (75 yrs old) and met a friend who brought her elderly aunt at a church to play bingo!!! It was pretty fun but boy, it was hard to keep up with all the cards! At one point, it's getting late (pushing 9) my arm is starting to get tired and I complain about it to my friend and she just starts laughing her ass off. I'm like "what?????" she finally stops enough to say "Boy, have we changed. Here we are Friday nite in a bingo parlor with 80 75 yr olds." "Two years ago we would have been in the middle of the dance floor with high heels on, flirting with boys and drinking too much!" Sad, but true.
And finally, my 'lil sis sent me this email yesterday after I asked her how she was doing. (she had tram flap in Dec) (little bit is her cat.)
I'm okay, stomach is still hurting most of the time, I still can't fit in
my clothes, sometimes it hurst worse than others, my foot is still hurting, saw the foot specialist and he thinks it might be RSD in my foot, great, yesterday little bit was so excited to show me what she had found outside, that she woke me up with a screeching bird in her mouth, then later I found a dead bird under the recliner, Mark found one missing it's head under the coffee table. Needless to say, the doggy door that the dog does not use, is no closed and can only be exited from. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
She is soooooooooooo funny!Well, I gotta go pack. Hope nobody's day sucks too bad. C y'all later! Traci
ps Has everybody read the book "Men Love Bitches"? That's a good one.

That is tooo funny Megs!
I would not call you a tramp, just a woman in touch with her sexy side!
Have fun and keep wearing your bejeweled thong!

Traci -- He's probably not too off on that box count. I used to handle office moves for the company I worked for and it was nothing to have 20-30 boxes just for someone's office. The last thing you want to do is overpack the boxes and then not be able to lift them. Nice of him to give them to you, those puppies are expensive! Surely that truck can go faster than that. . .
Can't imagine finding decapitated birds in my house. . .that must be one quick cat. The story was too funny (although I'm sure your sister is not finding too much amusement with the dead birds).
It's Saturday and it's a pretty day. I'm going to try to put the crappy news I got this morning behind me (there's nothing I can do until Monday) and get myself cleaned up so I can at least sit outside and enjoy this day.

Hey Traci-
It is unbelievable how much crap you will discover when it comes time to get it all in boxes.
When we moved back to AK I actually started packing about 6 months before we moved. I started out with a computer inventory that listed what was in each box. I took a digital photo of everything, packed the box, made a label for 2 sides of the box and then taped it up...that lasted for about 20 boxes and then I ditched the photo idea, but still did a list of everything in each box in the computer.
By about box 100 I was just writing which room things had come from in the inventory. Boxes number 200 - 222 were all labeled miscellaneous CRAP!
When we unpacked I found a box that had:
3 partially filled boxes of zip-lock bags,
two outfits of dirty clothing from my kids,
a funnel from the garage,
an empty car oil container,
3 dirty cereal bowls,
and one shoe.
Yep, I paid good money to move that over 4,000 miles! Good luck with the packing. I recommend drinking any alcohol you find instead of packing it
Too funny about the bingo. I went one time and some of those older ladies REALLY take bingo seriously! It was all I could do to not laugh. They got so pissed off when I won because I was not taking it seriously enough.....too funny.

Thanks, girls, for the kind words and hugs. I feel better today. I'm going to call my roommate after my shower.
Wishing no suckiness to all!

Sounds like some of you are suffering the same malady as I've had these past few days. I've been getting weepy and sad for no apparent reason. My dh has been asking, "What's wrong?", and all I've been able to say is, "I don't know--it must be PMS." (Keep in mind that my last menstrual cycle was 4+ years ago.)
It sure felt/feels like PMS. But, maybe the same things that cause the weepy-for-no-reason feeling during PMS can cause it during BC treatment (especially chemo?). I do feel better today, though.
DebC, I had a lot of those "miscellaneous" boxes with my last move. Some of them are still in the garage. One box contains 2 plastic cereal bowls, a placemat, a baseball glove, a tupperware juice container, a sucrets box full of curtain hooks, and maybe some other stuff I don't recall. I have boxes in my storeroom closet that haven't been opened since I put them there 10 years ago. Fortunately, they're labeled; so at least I know what's in them and I know it is nothing I need. (So why did I bother to move it? I got tired of sorting things and simply ran out of time.)
Megs, your story about the pants leaves me speechless. I just cannot imagine what I would have done. That's the sort of thing that only happens to people on TV sitcoms. Are you in the entertainment industry? (I guess those kids probably think you are.)
Hugs to all, and wishes for a non-sucky weekend.

otter, sheila and cristine,
it sucks that you've been sad. I think it's part of this shitty experience. Just give yourself permission to grieve however you need to even if "nothing is wrong".
i worked thurs. and Fri. and it actually felt really good. I, like all of us, kind of got yanked out of my real life by bc and it was GOOD to be at work.
I haven't moved in fifteen years but our house is on the market. I have the best of both worlds as the area has developed around us with many houses and ours is the only piece of property for 2 miles in either direction that doesn't have restrictive covenants, so it is being sold as commercial real estate. They will tear down the house (it was built in 1890 and is not a victorian beauty but an old farmhouse), so we don't have to show the house. It's a bit sad because i love this old house and we have done quite a bit of "unremodeling", but it's currently on the market for six times what we paid for it, so that eases the pain considerably.
I dread the thought of moving as both of my sons still have stuff here and there is fifteen years worth of clutter in the garage......
Happy Saturday to all and hugs,
Sue

lol! Haven't y'all heard of fung shway (lol.....I know I spelled that wrong but spell checker asked me wtf?) ??
Here's a bitch for you girls:
k....so my niece is graduating in Dallas the weekend I move there and everybody in the family is going to Dallas to make it a family affair. Well, mom needs help with her ticket and when I found out it was going to take 2 days and $600 for me to get there, I told/asked my sis to buy mom's ticket. Did I ever tell y'all that Ambien intoxicates my sister like a jug of Vodka would me? Well anyway, my mom calls me today and tells me that Debbi called her at 1:00 AM last night and told her she booked her flight. (Debbi lives in Atlanta) The best deal she got was for mom to leave out of Sarasota, FL at 6:00 AM. Sarasota is at least 60 miles away from here. She had to have been wasted on Ambiem. She is not answering her cell phone now. Unless she plans on driving down from Atlanta and leaving Tampa area at 2 AM on Tuesday nite(morning) to get mom to Sarasota by 6 AM....she better find another flight.
Oh, did I mention it saved $50?That girls done lost her mind.

what relief already
i have a great check story- this one is true! my ex's new wife owns one of the largest check cashing companies in the country
two guys come a few months ago and outside the store they have their friend in a chair- they are trying to cash his disability check and they say he is too sick to come inside- someone gets suspicious and goes outside- their friend was actually DEAD! they put him in chair and took him to try and cash his check ! NOW THAT SUCKS ! who needs friends like that~!!! true story was in newspaper
GOT blisters on my throat yesterday - went to doc today- got an antibiotic but last week noticed my smile was a bit crooked- he says its probably a slight case of bells palsy and i should go to a neurologist on monday morning but if it gets worse go to the EMERGENCY ROOM! ugh could he scare me anymore HE SUCKS!!!

Everybody... I have been busy all day, at the beach, with my sil, so I haven't had a chance to catch up on the posts, so I will just say an all around "THAT SUCKS" to all!
Ok... here's my bitch for today:
I went to bed last night and when brushing my teeth before bed, I noticed that one of my front teeth looks kind of discolored. So, I thought about it all night, and when I woke up, I looked in the mirror, again, while brushing my teeth, and yep, that tooth is BLACK!!! WTH?
I am SIX months post chemo, and all the time, I was worried that I would lose my teeth or something. But NO... NOW, I have this black tooth!!
I guess I'll have to go to the dentist to see what's up...
All I can say is "this SUCKS!"Harley
P S I am terrified of the dentist! I had a really nice dentist in Maryland, but I don't know anybody here in NC. My friends at the coffee shop suggested their dentist, so I guess I'll give him a call on Monday. YIKES!

What a fkg jerk that ps was to you, holy shit, I was choking up just reading it what an asshole. He didn't even listen to you, I wish you would find a better doctor. I'm so mad I wish I knew his name and I'd go to petition2care and start one about him. What a creep. I'd be worried that he wouldn't do a good job on you. Oh I'm so sorry that happened to you crap.
I read the cheque stuff earlier lost it in my post but it's so different from Canada our post officers don't pick up mail at the house you have to take it to a mailbox or a postal store. I remember when I lived just outside of Chicago, I asked my ex where the post office was because I wanted to mail a letter, he laughed and then told me to just stick in the box, I was surprised I loved it. But when it comes to paying bills, or anything money get to a postal station. Has anyone ever used those permanent ink pens they are supposed to prevent cheque washing thats what they call it, it was on 20/20. I remember wondering how they got to the cheques back then until I lived in the States. That's scary I love the marble idea, that would give you time to get him, have a camera ready so you can catch him with a picture if he tries it again, man talk about scary, identity theft is really bad now. Mind you since this cancer they can have mine but only if they take the cancer.
Okay my bitch today is I lost it in Walmart yesterday when I saw ...PINK toilet paper, cashmere made it. I just stood there and starting swearing all by myself I must have looked like an idiot. Finally a nice elderly lady just gave me a hug and said I know. I still wonder if she was an angel because I really lost it and probably would have been kicked out of the store. PINK ass wipe that's what it's down to girls. Okay have to stop thinking about it again or I'm going to get all worked up again. I just pray no one buys me some. What next?

Hi Sheila,
I had a similar insurance billing situation w/PS having assistant PS surgeon in operating room w/out my knowledge or consent. The PS asst insurance biller must have been trying to cover up her mistake in not billing for a year--then sending me a bill that my insurance would not pay because they didn't include the right documentation. Well, I marched down to the surgery center, and got a copy of all my records from the surgery. On the signed consent form the PA asst, breast surgeon, plastic surgeon and anthesiologist are all listed but no mention of PS asst surgeon. I sent that to my insurance company and to the PS asst surgeon office and never heard from either one again. Although I did get several phone calls and threats to take me to collection, but that piece of paper did it! You might try seeing what consent form you signed before surgery. AND I never met the guy before or after surgery. What a racket!

I'm behind a bit, so bear with me...
Megs - BAWWWHAAAAA!! Your story had me spitting chocolate Frosty at my computer screen! What I wouldn't have given to have seen your face the second you realized that ripping noise was coming from your backside! But backwards day was quite a come-back. Thanks for nearly making me bust my own pants laughing so hard. OMG - I need a tissue...
Hope today finds you a little happier Christine, Otter, Dotti and Sheila, cause feeling blue sucks to high heaven (if that's even possible)...
Julia, hugs to you, my dear. And an infected hang nail to your doc, the insensitive chucklehead...
Traci, again, good luck with the move, girl. I do not envy you at all. Moving and everything associated with it (packing, hauling, unpacking) sucks...
My bitch today is my hair. It is greyer than grey - so much so that I have to color it like every two weeks - WTH?!? I'm buying Dark and Lovely two and three boxes at a time to cover up the freaking grey roots so I don't look like my son's grandmother. I think I should just buy stock in the company. This whole aging thing sucks...
