LOL, Hanna, about Harley's nipple.
No, I'm not done cleaning. And, no, I did not plan on baking anything. I don't have time! But now you've made me feel guilty. So I guess I'll bake something. But, it would not be healthy. My dd who's coming home from Africa..get this..my dh went out and bought these huge Porter House steaks. When she and her dh went to visit my other DDs (out of town) they complained. They said they were trying to eat healthy and that her dad cooked them this huge steak. As happy as I am to see them THEY WILL NOT have steak at our house...chicken is it! Ha! They've eaten shit that had been dropped on floors (in Africa..restaurants in the bush..well, almost in the bush). And they thought THAT was healthy!? Plus other crap they ate. How dare they. Why am I cleaning cuz they'll just mess up! That's my bitch for the night. Should I bake them a cake? They may complain.

Miss S - if Otter doesn't need you, I'll take you. Are you free to drive up to Stanford?!
Lisa and flyrzfan - I'm totally with you on the fact that waiting SUCKS!! I have been waiting for two weeks for my second opinion from Stanford (whose reputation is dropping daily in my estimation). Today was supposed to be the day, but nooooooo...the only thing that happened was the pathologist up there called the pathologist at my hospital. WTF?!? Would somebody like to tell me what they said?
Diane - just wanted to chime in with a big "That Sucks!" for your son and we also love the movie "Drumline". I'm with you and hoping that there was a "bigger plan" in his being passed over - oopps! Sorry - broke the rules!
Rock - I'm speechless...we have enough weirdness going on in our lives and don't need extra from those supposedly trying to help! With friends like that, who needs chemo?!
To all having/had surgery - Surgery sucks and I wish you lots of rest and really good pain meds.
Shirley - go bake a cake for those kids, a big chocolate-y, gooey thang!
Traci - I don't know which sucks more, packing or unpacking...lol...

Wow, I got behind and just caught up reading the last 3 pages. Can't remember a lot of specifics except about Diane's son and the school crap. Guess it hit a nerve because my youngest dd went through the same crap. Music is a tough road to follow and after being pulled apart by the various conductors of the 3 orchestras and 2 bands she was involved in, she gave it up and decided to pursue a nurse anesthestist (pretty sure I spelled that wrong!) career. I hated seeing her give up her music because she was very talented, but she was so tired of being judged and watching the favoritism that went on at her school.
I could also relate to Linda and the Senior Prom stuff. I remember the hell of getting both of my daughters ready for prom. But that night when they are all dressed up it's definitely worth it. I'm now wedding planning with the youngest dd and was scared to death when we went shopping for the dress (after all the Prom drama), but it was actually so much easier. . .no competition for the spotlight.
Traci - Good luck with the packing/moving. . .no getting around the suckiness of it.
For everyone waiting on test results. . .that sucks.
That's about all I can remember since I read to much at one time. But there definitely is a whole lot of suckiness going on here.

Sheila, isn't that an old Jerry Lee Lewis hit...
"Whole Lotta Suckin Goin On" ???
What sucks for me tonight is that my brothers and sisters have started a sibling email fight... I'm really upset and shocked... we were all together for a long weekend two weeks ago which was very nice... suddenly there are all these recriminations about who isn't doing enough for Mom, and who Mom did too much for (financially) -- it's kind of harsh, and seems uncalled for to me -- and I hate when email inbox turns into a land mine (I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters, BTW).
Can't we all just get along??????????????
Sorry for everyone else's crap, too!!!!!!!!!

So, tonight was my nephew's high school graduation. It was fine, I was having a good time, enjoying the whole event in spite of all the crappy side effects from chemo yesterday....until my husband leaned over and whispered to me, "three years".
In three years my oldest daughter will graduate from high school.
In instantly lost it and started bawling. It will be a fricking miracle if I live to see it. All the odds are against me seeing either of my babies graduate from high school, let alone be here for the rest of their lives.
I f'ing hate cancer
It is ruining even the simplest happy events
Sorry to be a downer, but damn it is hard to be optimistic and happy all the time....
Cancer sucks

Deb, that sucks bad. I'm sorry.

Oh, Deb. I just spent five minutes looking at your (wonderful) picture thinking about you and wishing so very much that it was simply not so or that I could do something. Your cancer is so very wrong. But I am so very glad you are here. (Today, I'm changing my little picture to something from Alaska just because, well, I don't know. I just want to.) I'm off to chemo. In a better state of mind than I was 6 hours ago, courtesy of you lot.

Deb, cancer truly, truly does suck.
Dani, if it is of any solice, I had a lump right along the incision line after a bilateral for DCIS. It went away after a few weeks, but not before it nearly scared me to death...
Rock the Bald, hopefully, you are one step closer to the end of chemo by now. Hope your first infusion wasn't too eventful...
Diane, sucks that your son is dealing with such bs right now. My son's very musical as well and we've dealt with similar ever since 5th grade or so. Makes you just want to pimp slap someone for having the audacity to hurt your child, doesn't it?
Flyzfan and Lisa, sorry you are stuck in "hurry up and wait" limbo, but I'm hoping you'll get some word really soon - like in a few minutes...
Shirley, you've got me fiending for brownies now after hearing about the cake you may or may not bake for your family. And I don't bake anything that doesn't come from a box (where I'd be without Duncan Hines, I have no idea)...
Traci, just know you are a little bit closer to the end of moving than to the beginning! Still sucks, though...
Ann, sorry your family is doing the electronic war of words thing. Sucks when folks just won't behave and freaking play nice...
Hi, Cristine. Sheila, Otter and Miss S
! A hearty "THAT SUCKS!" to you all...My crap: My grandma's sister is being thrown a surprise 89th b'day party this weekend. How she could possibly be surprised is beyond me, as her kids throw her one every bloody year. Her only surviving sister (my grandma) has been in a nursing home since March 07, but big sis has managed to get over to see her only once. The last time they were together (around Christmas), big sis embarrassed the heck out of grandma by telling everyone within earshot that she thinks it's time I bought my grandmother a new wig because he looked "just horrible." I swear I wanted to knock her ass right out of my dining room chair.
I don't feel like extolling the virtues of dear great auntie Saturday because I'm not at all liking how she is treating - or not even acknowledging - my grand mother. My grandma and her siblings have always had issues - and grandma is far from perfect - but distancing yourself when family needs you most is just not cool. I flat out resent her for it and don't feel like plastering a fake smile on my face for the evening while everyone talks about how wonderful and God-fearing she is. Blech! I really think I'll boycott and stay home with a video...
Family will drive you crazier than anything. Mine sucks...

I think I'm through cleaning. DD's mil called me to tell me she and her dh were driving to Charlotte to pick up dd and sil. Nice to be kept in the dark. Anyway, they have a Landcruiser or Rover..can't remember, so they can stuff all their stuff (I hope) in the vehicle. The "Green" people ought to really be angry about that..driving an SUV. I don't know if dd will come over tonight. But that's okay cuz I know she's got to be tired and they have stuff to unpack.
So, Felicia, I'm not baking no chocolate cake!
Other two daughters will be in tomorrow. I'm tired. I think I've already said that SOMEWHERE.
You know what sucks? THE PRICE OF GAS! It's hurting every part of our economy. IT SUCKS!

{{{{{{{{{Deb}}}}}}}}}} I wish there was something we could do to make you feel better. I hate this disease! I'm not even going to tell you that you're gonna kick cancer's ass! (You're gonna kick cancer's ass)! I worry about this crap coming back. I don't know how I would deal with it. I'm NOT a strong person.
I wish we were ALL there to just give you a great big ole gentle hug.

Harley, I forgot to say "That sucks!" about your surgery and your drill-instructor boss (what part of "I'm having surgery" didn't she understand?!?). I hope you feel good enough to work and do so only because you want to, not because she insists. She somehow managed to survive before you came along to be worked like a mule, so I'm sure she'll make it through a few days while you heal, daggone it...
And Rock the Bald, it sucks about your meds. Who does stuff like that?!? I'm convinced that people have just plain lost their damn minds lately...
Shirley, let your kids take you out for a meal or two and have them make up their own beds, lol. You deserve a break today (remember when that was the McDonald's theme? Am I dating myself here or what?!?)...

Felicia, believe me I don't make their beds when they are here. However, they do have clean beds that are made up. I got that from my mom. We would travel 1500 miles to San Antonio with three little girls and my mom would not have a bed ready. Well, I know that happened once. I was very upset with here. Thus, my girls have clean beds and I try to clean my house. BUT, I'm sort of MAD right now. I have not heard from my DD. Wonder if Custom's arrested them and put all of them in jail. I know her mil has a cell phone. They could have called me. What if their airplane was delayed. What if a LOT OF THINGS! So, do I get pissed, or wait. I have no way to get in touch with them. And, I'll be DAMNED if I'll call my DD's MIL's house to see if they arrived safely. I'm also hurt.
Sue, loved your poem. I'm gonna sit down and write a nasty one to give my dd! Any ideas?
Harley, hope all went well with your surgery. Wait, that's not til tomorrow. Geez, I'm losing my mind!
Well, I'm tired, but I'm done and there ain't gonna be any chocolate cake!
<stomping off!>

Yes, it's been taking a long time all evening. I wonder if they are doing something to the system maybe? Possibly.
I can't (well, yes I can as my dsd is the same way) doesn't call to say they've arrived safely! UGH! I take it your dd doesn't have a cell phone? Perhaps you should wait till 2 am and call and when someone is sleeping and answers, just say, "THANK GOD! You're all home safe! I was worried you'd had a car accident!"
THen say, okay, i'll talk to dd in the morning! 
{{{{{{Ladies}}}}}} Hoping the new morn finds everyone in good spirits without any moans, groans and pains in the arses!

You have worked SO HARD GIRL!! Now go be a girley girl and take a bubble bath and tuck yourself in with a bowl of ice cream!

Shirley - It really sucks that you have to do all that worrying when your dd and the inlaws are probably clueless that they have left you hangin'.
Today at chemo, I stopped by the cancer society's table and picked up a booklet called "What to eat when you don't feel like eating". OK, get this - lots of recipes using tofu, raw vegetables, etc. WTF????? But, alas, toward the back there is a recipe that Shirley needs to fix for her health concious family - Fish dumplings!!!! (Give me a sec, I just threw up in my mouth...)
Let me get this straight - I'm nauseous, hyper-sensitive to smells, etc., and I'm supposed to eat FISH DUMPLINGS to feel better????? That sucks. Back to my all potato diet.

Deb, sending {HUGS} your way!! Cancer SUCKS!
Everyone, THAT SUCKS!!
Shirley, it sucks that your dd won't at least just call you, so you know she got in safe. Oh, and this site has been as slow as molasses!
Hanna, Felicia, Shirley, Sue, thanks for the kind words about how sucky my next phase of reconstruction surgeries are... My boss has been really very nice about my surgery, and everything. It's just that I guess she thinks I want to work THREE days EVERY week, when I really would like to have a week off, to rest after this ordeal tomorrow!! Truth be known, I really don't want to work THREE entire days per week. If I had my choice, I would rather work just a few hours a day, three days per week. But, if I did that, I wouldn't make as much money, either. I don't know what to do, cause I also need to buy their EXPENSIVE clothes, to wear to work!
I am tired of being strong, and being a good little trooper, doing what needs to be done. If I had known how PAINFUL the reconstruction was going to be, and YES, EVERY step of this reconstruction has been more painful than the last... If I knew how painful this was going to be, I would just skip all this reconstruction, and just stay flat...

Marsha, no healthy eating here most of the time. Ya know, it would be so much easier if we ALL had a cook. They could to the healthy cooking. Believe it or not my dh has been cooking this week. And believe it or not I LET HIM!
I didn't even say, thank you. Why? Because he doesn't thank me. When he'd clean the kitchen I'd always say thank you, or you don't have to do that. Why did/do I do that? He doesn't thank me for cleaning the kitchen, cooking, cleaning the bathroom WHEN WE HAVE COMPANY..LOL FISH DUMPLINGS!!?? That DOES not sound good. I've heard of fish stew. And tofu? Are they trying to kill you!!??
Wishiwere, you're idea is good. I'll set my alarm clock and call them at 2 am. LOL
Hanna, really, I didn't care if she came over tonight. I KNOW they have to be tired. All I EXPECTED was a phone call FROM ANYONE, ANYWHERE! DD gets very aggravated with her fil. Her mil isn't so bad. They're nice people (I suppose...LOL). Pretentious, but other than that.....
Okay, I've calmed down after bitching here. Thanks for listening. I have to keep my dh calm. Thus, I make excuses for them. He'll embarrass me and jump all over them.
Goodnite ladies.

Oh, sweet Harley. After all the pain is over with you'll be so glad you did this. I'm old so it doesn't matter...LOL But, you're young and need boobs. There's nothing wrong with being flat, but not having to lug around fake boobs and wear fake boobs would be nice. Really, after all is done you will be happy.
I don't think you want to work. QUIT! LOL And, buy three outfits and wear them everytime you go to work. If you work three days that'll give you one outfit each day.
Good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you and your lovely new nipples taken off your leg. That really sounds funny! That's a hard one to explain!
Take care and sleep tight.

Oh, marsha - I've been out of chemo since first of July and fish dumplings even make me gag! Potatoes, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes (more fiber and nutrients - haha!) brown basmati rice, 'nother kind of potatoes, gnocchi, cottage cheese - generally the white diet - that's what should be in that damn booklet! What # treatment was this for you today?
Shirley, that SUCKS that you haven't heard that DD has arrived safely. Let's blame it on jet lag and an over-bearing mil and cut her some slack for a few hours. Then she'd better make it up to you - in spades!
Hey, Felicia - I agree, boycott the party. And take the video and share it with gramma, who'll appreciate the company!
Deb - I'm sorry that the joyful occasion of your nephew's graduation brought a time of sadness, also. It really sucks. But I really truly don't think it will take a miracle to have you here to see your daughters graduate. Your zits say your chemo is working, right?!? Use that to strengthen your bad-ass resolve to kick some bootay! I hope something in your next few days restores your feeling of slamma-whamma-jamma!
Harley, i'll be thinking of you tomorrow as you get your nips done. I hope it ends up being the easiest yet of all your recon. steps. Be sure and get some pampering and plenty of rest when you get home.

Shirley,
Thanks!Yes, I am having second thoughts about working again. When I asked my boss about buying a pair of shoes I liked, she said that they would have to "order them" for me. WTH?, I thought, when there is a pair there that look like they'd fit me. SO, since these shoes are $84 anyway, I think I'll just go someplace else, maybe the outlets have a shoe store, where I can find comfortable shoes to wear while I am working there.
Thanks for thinking of me, while I go under the knife again, just for some silly nipples! As I told my general surgeon, "you know, if I had used my dh's nipples, I'd be FINISHED!"
Hope your dd calls you soon to tell you that she got in and is ok.

Lisa - this was infusion # 6 (of 12), or part two of treatment #3 (of 6.) Does that make sense??? Never know quite how to explain it, and chemo brain doesn't help. Anyway, the good news is that after I finish the next 7 days of oral cytoxin, then I am halfway through. The bad news is that I am only half way through. Cancer sucks

A hearty IT SUCKS to all!
Harley, best of luck with the nipples tomorrow. I am so jealous..I am still a flatty, times two...some day, maybe.
Shirley, our kids know us best and know we'll understand when they don't call and keep us updated. My kids know they're safe, so why call mom???
Marsha...ummmm...GAG! Fish should be nowhere near a dumpling!
Deb, I just wanna hug you. I bitch and moan about my daughters senior ball and all her "attitude" but I am so thankful to be here. I'm with Lisa...you need a big 'ol can of whoop-ass to open up on the big C. We'll be laughing about your kids' senior-itis soon.
Lisa, June 2 can't come fast enough to get my BRCA results. My percentage is too high for comfort. Hey...I have a son stationed at Pendleton!
Felicia, boycott the party. Being old is no excuse for being rude. My mom is 76 and drives me straight up a wall with her crap-butt attitude. At my age, I refuse to play nice to appease her!
Hmmmmm...am I done yet? Senior Ball's Saturday night and my dd ain't so darling! I think I need to escape to Margaritaville...

(((((Deb))))) It all sucks, wish I could be there to give you a big ole hug in person.
Good luck with your surgery Harley. Even though going under the knife again sucks, it'll be nice to have that nipple where it belongs.
To everyone else, a big that sucks. Guess the only unsuckiness we're having is that no one is being forced to eat fish dumplings. . .lol

Harley, good luck tomorrow!
About your job -- Felicia said it very well -- how did the woman get along without you up until now?
Felicia -- I think it's a great idea to party with your grandma instead! Oh, these family feuds...
Shirley, I hope you hear from DD soon -- um, it's almost time to call over there, right? (good one, wishiwere!)
Marshabel -- right. Fish dumplings when you don't feel like eating. Need one of those little roll-eyes smilies for that one!
Sueper -- loved your poem!
And RockTheBald's, the night before!
Traci -- how's it going?
Linda -- hope you have a good time in Margaritaville -- you deserve it!
Hugs to all -- DebC, Otter, Diane, and anyone else I've forgotten,
goodnight!
