Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

Morning, Dusting of snow and 25 this morning, after near 80 2 days ago!
Alaska is great, been twice, one on Holland American and once on small ship, which I like best for Alaska.
These groups can lead to lifelong friendships. I was part of one on WebMD when my daughter had BC. I was the only non-survivor , at the time. The gals accepted me, often told me they forgot I wasn't a survivor, and the Pink Bus group is still active. We did have several get togethers , which we all enjoyed In Memphis, Williamsburg, Rhinelander Wisc. When my daughter passed at age 33 ,from BC, they were there as well as my Moms group.
Anyway, happy travels and vicarious travel! Jean

Morning gals! Rita, we used to fish all over the mountains... And stay in cabins when we were younger!
We fished for "Brookies" and Trout mostly.... So special to catch the German Brown Trout!...
DH used to go ice fishing for Trout, up there at Delaney Buttes' near Walden...
And then when our Grandsons got older, we would take them to fish the "Canal" between Grand Lake and Granby... I even learned to bait my own line... with either Salmon eggs or that other play-doh stuff..Ha! Not worms... Nope... not worms! I had more fun with our youngest GS... He was hysterical, and we laughed the whole time, me trying to show HIM how to fish... Papa was way down the canal by this time.... Me? I just like to fish in one spot!
In fact, we were up at Grand-Lake in some cabins, with the family, on September 11th.... That year of the Trade Center tragedy.... Man, I turned on the news, and I was just stunned... didn't want anyone else to HEAR this, but I think this touched every last person in the US...
But we don't fish anymore.... Just shop, and gamble, and are gone almost every day, doing SOMEthing... Even if it's just to walk around the shopping center, or make a Star-bucks run!
Luvmaui! That is so great about your family! So lucky for all of you guys! Soooo sorry about your Son.... I can't imagine how people go on, losing their own.... It's hard enough losing your Mom and Dad... but your kids.... Oh.....
I used to make Swedish meat-balls all the time! I'll have to do that again!
Morning Bonnets and Globalgal and Di! Di, you said "installed!" Ha, ha! Great attitude, even though you are going through a lot!
So Cammi little honey.... Can any of you understand her? I actually do, but I REALLY have to turn on my brain when I read what she tries to say and post... Now go back to bed, pull those covers up, and you and Katie-Kat snooze awhile longer...
Cammi is a pinch of oneriness, a smidgeon of something, and a lot of love!
I had better go get busy.... You know.... Dh just woke up, so I have to become wifely again.... catch up with the rest of you gals later!
Movie day with DD.... She is coming over to watch another Shirley Temple movie with me, and we sit on the couch, and cover up and have lunch in front of the TV! Yes, I know.... She's 53, but we are still just kids at heart... xoxoxoxo

Chevy, you always have a lot of fun! With your attitude, you'll never get old!
I love fishing but dh doesn't love it. I also LOVE eating delicious fresh fish.
And I have NO problems understanding Cami's posts. You is u. Etc.
I ended up cooking a combination fresh peach and rhubarb jam. Two of the other ingredients were grated orange zest and orange juice from a big navel orange. Sugar, of course. It tasted really good and there's a good sized bowl of it. We'll probably have some this morning. Maybe with wheat pancakes. I don't know what happened to my taste buds but the last few years I really enjoy pancakes. In the past I never ordered them for breakfast and never made them. But Hungry Jack and I have a real partnership nowadays.
I'll probably freeze some of the jam in small containers.
DH and I are off to the New Orleans airport in the early afternoon to pick up his nephew who now lives in Seattle. He'll spend a couple of days with us and then meet up with friends in New Orleans for the rest of his holiday. I spent part of yesterday clearing out the junk from the guest room so he could get to the bed!
It's 49 degrees here at 8:05 but will warm up to 60's. Sunny outside. Looks like a great day! Hope the weather is nice wherever you are and that you enjoy your day.

Live for today but hold your hands open to tomorrow. Anticipate the future and its changes with joy. There is a seed of God's love in every event, every circumstance,
every unpleasant situation in which you may find yourself. Barbara Johnson0 -
Sandra and Di -- color me envious. I think Alaska would be so wonderful to visit. I watch HGTV and they are running a portion on people who relocate to Alaska. Haven't actually seen any of the programs as yet, but the ad just makes you want to call a moving van and get it loaded up for the move.
Cammie - you may be many things but you are must definitely not a dud. You are just someone who takes life and love and make them both work as good as possible.
Once again I just noticed that in putting in the quote....I'm on the next page. Just goes to show, some people ( I'm at the head of that line....about the only time I get that privilege ) never seem to learn. I think I just mentioned that a short while ago too. So, I'm going from memory here.
Jess, we are all so thrilled that you choose to hang around with us. We have formed great friendships here and ssshhhh, don't tell anyone, but many here mean as much and sometimes more to me than the ones who are much more readily available to me because they live close. I don't mean the ones here are not great people -- but it is just a little different. Sometimes ( I'm blessing them anyway ) the ones I see all the time don't give me as good advice as I can get here. They are fantastic in that they don't want to accidentally hurt my feelings in some way --- but sometimes you need to hear things you'd like to avoid.
We get to share so many different viewpoints here and it is always done with love and respect. We can kid and tease, but also be VERY serious as well. I have always found it amazing that I gained such wondrous friends from such a horrible disease process.
So, since I have no idea what the last entries really said...............just know that you are all unique and deeply appreciated -- for who you are, whether there is a wart here or there or not. I don't know a lot but I know that things in this world will never be quite right or work quite right until we love and care for one another -- no matter what color, what religion, what party affiliation, what age, where we live, how we dress or anything else that ends up being mainly superficial.
Carole -- I'm coming for a piece of your pie.....please save one, ok.
Hi to everyone I didn't mention by name -- I was still thinking about all of you.
Blessings

I haven't been on here all day and yet I feel I've missed a week! You girls get around fast. Sometimes it is so sad, losing children and dreams, happy planning travels, being uplifted by Jackie's writings and Sandra's funnies, and so it goes. When I see one of you on other forums, I always think now what are they doing here? they belong on "our" forum!
Last night, I started really looking at myself in the mirror and I look so beat up! This last surgery, removal of TEs and putting in implants, was not as easy as I thought it would be. I am bruised everywhere and some of these scars are so "fat" that I don't see how they could ever get better. DH keeps reminding me that this journey just started in late December and I'm so impatient, but it feels like forever. Emotions are all over the place. My daughter that lives 300 miles north of me, is so busy with activities & other people that she has no time for me, even at this junction in my life. I am so hurt by this as it just seems no big deal but her work for others keep going. Even planning to see the kids for the summer is a big deal; I used to see them at least every 2 months. Having BC on top of another health issue seems to mean I just can't be trusted to be normal, or fun, or just made time for. Then, I look at this mess and wonder what the hell happened to me!! I was the fun one, the favorite one, the dependable one. Just feels good to vent!
I want to be the dancing 80 yr old in the link that was posted; I won't travel this summer; I don't cook, and my mom had to make me eat rhubarb

Dear Lostboob, Where in Texas are you at. We live in way west Texas at Fort Davis. It is a hard journey. My daughter and grandaughter lived with us at the time of my treatment which helped. But my DD has mental illness so sometimes things were not so great. My DD was DX with Hodgkins when she was 19 and pregnant. It was a long hard battle. She now has cervical cancer and will be having a Hys next week. She is now remarried and lives in FL. Its hard and I know how you feel. I have had chemo brain so bad that I resigned my job, after my director turned into the witch from hell. I just simply walked out. Never in my life had I done a thing like that. She deserved it. I take Tamoxifen which causes alot of pain, so I take cymbalta to conteract that some. Hang in there.
Hugs

Well, no one will be cheered up exactly by my day either. The great thing is......I am so happy to HAVE these days that I look on it as that I am "perfecting" how to have issues and solve them somehow.
We really did think today would be like any other.....well, Walmart would not take my counter checks. I had to get them as I ran out. Bank did not order when I asked so I had to get some to tide me over. So, I spent the money at Walmart that was my 'folding' pocket money. Had to go back to the back and replenish.
Dh had talked me into some new computer speakers since my old ones gave up the ghost.....and a new wireless mouse. We had a salad lunch at Wendy's ( inserting yum-yum here ) then went to Rec Center to walk. Hard to both of us today but don't know why. Then on to the store ( Aldi's which I love ) and then the Farm Fresh milk store. Home at last.
First thing while I'm putting away groceries Dh hooks up speakers and mouse. My monitor won't work now. Thought maybe it was my power cord so we went to town and got another. Nope....not that. So my monitor is really gone. Nothing decent here so we have to get in the truck and fly to Mt. Vernon......and get to Staples just as they are locking up. As it was a couple of minutes till......they did let us in. We picked out a monitor, paid and got home.....and took 30 minutes ( and I still have a bunch of clean up work to do ) to get it running.
I thought about pulling out my hair but then I remembered what I looked like bald and kicked the cat instead. Just kidding about that......I'd never kick a cat.
So.....we ran all day doing things and the extra time we thought we'd have.......REALLY --- no-where to be found.
Blessings

Lost....I'm coming back to finish as when I write too much my screen jumps for some reason.....and I have to keep scrolling to see if I have miss-spelled or made some other error.
It is easy to say hang in there, it will get better. All of this comes without warning and we are not ready, do not feel competent, and just plain want our life back. I'll never know why I had to get cancer, but I can't give it back so it must be mine. It can feel like it is dragging on and on and you are not progressing. I too can relate to the one holding up everyone else's world.....and I was expected to find some way to continue to do it. No one would let me change.
At one point....when I was really low I just let my poor Dh have it. Told him if he told me how strong I was one more time he would be seriously sorry. I did not feel strong, had no wish to be strong and did not need the reminder of what I had always been.
I needed time to ACCEPT this major wallop in my life, to look at it from ever angle and then pick up my package, as un-wanted as it was......and see what I needed to do to work it into my life so it did not interfere......did not sit on my shoulder like it owned me and smirk. Did not stop me from living the way I wanted too.
Lost....its not as easy road, but for me.....it was fully accepting what was.....because the minute I did that....it stopped holding me back.
It is still a long road, and once in a while not a happy one.....but don't forget....ultimately, we are in charge. We can do this.
When I went through my worst times......I told myself, just get through the next ten minutes. Anyone can do ten minutes.....don't worry about anything else but that. I went through at least five months -- maybe a little more that way......only living ten minutes at a time because anything more than that was un-thinkable and I wanted to look back at some point and see success...............which is exactly what I see when I look back now.....but it did take a long time of ten-minute spans.
I'm here cheering for you and sending messages to the Universe to send you nothing but positive energies.
Blessings

mommarch, I live in Dallas. I do know where Ft Davis is located and you are right...it's waaaayyy out there. But it's home to you so that makes it special. my daughter got pregnant in college and they lived with me for 2 years so it was very hard letting go. He's 15 now with 3 other siblings! They are very blessed and such a happy family. It sounds like your DD has faced her own challenges and my thoughts will be with her as she moves forward with her treatment. Be sure to let us know when she has surgery.
I'm lucky to not have chemo but my friend suffers with chemo brain. She does my hair and Lord, you should have seen it the last time. It was funny and sad at the same time. I have had those bosses from hell and nothing in the world can prepare you for them. About 3 years ago I had a surprise seizure, then the meds caused a lot of side effects like tremors and memory loss, and it just built and built till I could no longer work. My last boss had taken to putting post-it notes all over my desk as little "cheat sheets." A few days later is when I said no more. I'm glad I did because it helped me to prepare for this part of my life, even though at the time I didn't know it. So, good for you for walking out! There are times you have to take a stand and you did it. I hope you have support at home. I'm on disability plus I'll never let my DH stop working.
I've taken Cymbalta for a few years now. I'm glad it is helping you. I'll be starting Arimidex soon so if there are SE may it will help. TY for listening, or I guess I should say, reading?

All this travel talk, especially about Seattle, makes me wish I was in you suitcase. I lived there five years when I was young. You will have a glorious time. I'm headed to my son's for Easter and then LaCross Wisconsin the next weekend. Fun, but nothing like a cruise. Oh you lucky gals. When is this cruise? Despite the additional cold and snow here it does seem like spring is approaching. Half my yard is bright green. The other half is brown having been destroyed by my beloved year old golden retriever Peggy. Not digging holes, just peeing in the same part of the yard, the front yard, every time. Oh well. The sacrifices we make for pets. Oh, did I mention she loves sticks?

Morning gals.... Hi Carole! I liked fishing too, but I enjoyed walking around the canal with our dog Chevy even more! He always went on all of our trips...
Yes, I was just kidding about the Cammi! I understand her all the time too, but I always have teased her about "guess you don't have "spell-check", right? So I think she just does it on purpose! She wouldn't be Cammi if she didn't...! Besides, you should see how she teases ME!
I mean with the Chickens and all.... and how when I take their eggs, I am taking their new-borns!
So we have to tease each other, or we wouldn't have anyone else to drive nuts...Ha!
Have fun with your nephew! He's younger, right? It's so much fun to be around DH's nephews! They make us laugh, and show so much respect, I think because we are older, and we have fun with them too!
Morning Jackie! Okay, Cammi DID say she was a dud.... but she isn't! She never could be... I think a "dud" is something like when you throw a firecracker, and it doesn't go off! Or like this guy...
But definitely not our Cammi!
Okay THANKS Mommarch... I just copied, pasted and printed off that Rhubarb recipe! I'm also going to get some Rhubarb starters, and plant them.... I forget what they are called...
Lostboob! Don't look in mirrors, except when putting on make-up....
Eeeee gads, it scares me every time I happen to find myself in one!
Your scars will eventually fade, but you have them, because you had something taken out of your body that could have really hurt you!
So we have to live with them.... and all my wrinkles, and excess skin, and thank GOD I don't have to go around without my upper-plate, or my hearing aids, and everything else holding me together! And that I can wear clothes over my ever-changing body.... But THANK GOD I am still here! Having fun, and finding things to do, and working out in my yard...
Soon as my broken hip starts to feel like it BELONGS to the rest of me, I will be as good as new! It's only been a little over 2 months, and not the 3 months they said it would take!
The last time DD came over for our "play date" watching Shirley Temple, she was tap-dancing.... And I told DD.... "I can do that!" So I stood up, with my cane, and did a little tap dance, just like I did when I was 13! She just sat there laughing! I did too... It really was fun, to act like a silly kid! So you can do it! Turn on the radio, and DANCE! We don't care what you look like... and neither will you!
Okay.... we won't make you eat rhubarb....
Minime! I LOVE Peggy! Wish we still had Lacee in our yard!

Lost - you put the words I needed in my head. My kids seem to think that since I am in the radiation portion of treatment, I am back to "normal" and even when they ask how I am doing and I try to tell them I am having a rough time emotionally with the rads, they don't really listen and just keep saying, well it's only a few more weeks and you're done. No I am not- I have more tests, the herceptin infusion every three weeks, pet scans, heart tests, I need to make a decision about recon. I don't recognize or like my own body- it wasn't in great shape before, but it was mine, now it is the surgeons scars and the rads markings and not mine.
I also relate to having been the fun one, the reliable one, the favorite, especially with the grandkids. I got to talk to them on FaceTime last weekend and it was like they were talking to a distant relative they didn't really know. My DD has decided they are too young to know I have cancer (they are 8 & 5). So all they know is I went to visit Aunt Nancy, got sick and never came home. Because their home life is chaotic at best, I was their safe place and, luckily got to have them over several times a week. The fact that I can go home once the radiation is done is what keeps me from crying thru the treatments each day. I know it will take time for them to trust me again, and I will be making frequent trips back here to Atlanta for check ups, etc, but I need my relationship with my grandchildren back probably as much or more than they do.

Thanks to everyone for giving me a place to vent

Peggy is beautiful...she looks like a wonderful comfort. I have always had dogs but have my first cat, Max. He's an adoptee and ornery as heck. Not one of those lovable kind of cats but he is possessive and knows this is his home. I still miss my cock-a-poos! But Chevy, I get that poster!
Annebe, you said it ... we need them and their relationship more than they know right know. I am sorry for you as well that they are missing in your life right now. I actually texted my 15 yr old last night and when he told me he missed me and he loved me, well it meant the world to me! I can only let go and find my own way. After all, I'm lucky to not need have chemo or rad, cancer is all gone, and I'm very strong, right? Taking a medicine doesn't mean much, plus I'm very strong and all is fine. Or at least that's what I'm told! (sarcasm)

IllinoisLad, You make me so proud to be a fellow Illinoisan. You are such a wise, and loving person. I'm at work on a 20 minute lunch break but love reading through the post here. so this will be short. You are always saying something that many can relate.
And for the rest of you ladies---I love reading your post, also. I don't post as often but I cannot go a day without getting on BCO to find out what is happening or to share. Have a wonderful day, everyone!!!

Wow, I think I need to check on here twice a day just to keep up with everyone! Rainy, rainy day here so I'm thinking it's going to be a good movie watching afternoon.
Lost........Your posts remind me so much of how I was feeling 5 yrs. ago when my adventure began. I was so scared and just wanted my DH and kids to understand what I was going through. When I was finished with my initial treatments I asked them why they didn't want to talk about my treatment and were in such a hurry to see me back to normal. I was shocked when they told me they were scared to death they were going to lose me! You see, Lost, I was also the fun one, the reliable one (hosting all the holidays etc.), the favorite gramma and all the kids and grandkids just wanted me back to the way I was and life to be the same as before. Five years later (and after another serious illness) I am that fun person again and I bet you will be too! I agree.....stay away from mirrors for awhile, but also know that you deserve a pity party and place to vent for now.
Sandi & Di......How fun that you two are on the same cruise? Even though I live in the Northwest we have never gone on an Alaska cruise. can't wait to hear about it. When are you going? Over 30 yrs. ago we took our first trip to Maui and I realized that I had been Hawaiian in another life so travel to any other destination has been minimal. I've traveled the east coast from Toronto to Florida (excluding LA and NY) parts of the Midwest including Dallas, Texas and lived in Southern Calif. for 3 yrs but I would love to see more of our country. I've never been abroad. This year we are staying close to home, spending most of our time at our vacation home in Central Oregon.......the warmer, less rainy, recreation part of our state. So I'll have to live vicariously through all of you. Di, I surely will check out the next NW get together.
Mimi.......Your retriever looks exactly like our little girl! I love Goldens!! Our Bailey will be six next month and she is the calmest, sweetest dog we've ever had. She also loves sticks and has buried every rawhide bone we've given her, lol.
Thanks to all for your kind words regarding the loss of our son. Interesting how life throws stuff at us that we couldn't possibly live through, but we do.......sometimes stronger (I'm still not sure about that) but at least with more understanding of the struggles others have been, are going, or will be going through.
Happy travels to all of you over the Easter weekend!

Luvmaui, Lost and Chevy and others seem to be pet lovers too. Peggy is quite a bit larger than I expected since she is a female. She is all legs and seems to be at tall as the largest males are expected to be. Lost, she is a comfort. She lays by my feet often and sleeps on my bedright up against me. Yes, doghair is a problem. But she is warm and loving for a relatively new widow. Chevyboy, knowing Chevy was your special boy makes sense of your screen name. It's more fun than a car fanatic. I can picture you dancing with your cane right now. My mom used to dance professionally when she was young and would sometimes do a little tap for us in the kitchen when she was in her senior years. We were all so impressed. And wow could she criticize the tap dancers on TV if she thought they were "only doing a time step." (She joined the circus at age 17)
Anneb - and Luvmaui - the conversation about our children/grandchildren touched me today. I especially thank Luvmaui for the explanation of her children being too scared to talk about it. Mine have acted as if I have the flu and it is over now. But to be fair I always answer "fine" when they say "how are you." Since "fine" satisfies I leave it at that. But now that treatment is over I see that we are never totally free of the worry the diagnosis presents. We just keep making and enjoying the fun that we have. Many things are sweeter now, and my experience had so few complications compared to others. Sandra has had so many and teaches us all to appreciate the good things. And I surely do not want those complications. But anyone here has experienced the shock and worry and needs the friends that understand.

Yes Mimi! My Mom used to make my sequined costumes.... I tapped, did ballet, toe-dance, and acrobat.... I LOVED the Tap dancing...Ha! I did this when I was maybe 12 through 15... Then it wasn't as fun anymore... Too many other things going on! I remember dance recitals at South High School.... My Brother was in a big band that accompanied us dancers... He was the drummer.... So we were in it together!
I just remember how scared stiff I was before every performance.... It was like panic time! Even as I got older.... Public Speaking was time to just crawl under a rug somehow.... I finally learned to talk to "other" people, because of my PT job with Pepsi... But I was so afraid, to talk to someone I didn't know....
And then working for Coors... talking to 20 people at a time, for the tours, always made me shake, just going in the groups to talk... Some people are just terrified of public speaking! I finally got over that, when I develeped Coors On Tour.... making a slide presentation, and later on a video of my tour, and taking it on the road, to nursing homes, and then a couple trips to California, for Distributor presentations.

Oh have I missed a lot--whew I can only go on what I remember. so if leaving someone out I certainly don't mean to--this is such a great group.
Wel first we all know Jackie's post are so comforting and wise it's always calming reading her posts.
And Chevy and I say oh nothing much but u read it so.....But a couple of them got to me Lost Boob and Anneb, it's a tough road and I covered any mirror, hell who wanted to look at me I didn't--but I also don't have a DH to think about or wonder how he feels, maybe that does make the big difference IDK but living alone then was great for me I didn't need to talk, or act any way different than I felt and didn't care if I was out or not. But I was fortunate with my kids, one had a condo down the hall and the other lived 2 blocks away so they were in and out and doing what I couldn't do and I didn't need anyone staying with me so it was fine. Altho I did tell the Dr. a couple of time my DDs stayed cuz he wanted them to and I didn't. But at fir my GS just knew I was sick and he was gentle with me, then he was told I had cancer and we were so close anyway he became a rock to me and my cat has hovered around me all the time. My gift to myself was I just didn't think about it and it worked for me and I followed orders from Drs. (mostly) My body is a mess but it is what it is with all the chemo rads, and meds it's not going to be the same and chemo brain is on top of the list, but I don't care really, and my family is wonderful my sister who is stage IV is like my idol and my cousin too so we have a lot happening in the cancer area. But Thank God we all get it, cuz this is hard to understand for those not familiar with it. So I hope u get some comfort by feeling better, that will help. Oh now don't feel bad, but according to Mayo clinic for some reason u can get chemo brain without ever having chemo, they don't know why tho. So blame everything on that it helps.
My page jumps too, hahaha so I'll close for now.

Thanks Dwill and Cam for the kind words. Being able to comfort others -- two or four legs doesn't matter, is what I live for most of the time.
Can't say I was calm this afternoon. My computer was not working right....after I bought new speakers and mouse and monitor. We went to Staples with it ( where the monitor was purchased ) and they danced me around everywhere. They seem to be sure that I have a virus ( with all the protection I have on this machine ) and though I don't know enough to say they are wrong...I get a box that comes up and says I have something missing. They saw the box and are totally ignoring that. So, Dh says.....he is not so sure that this store is looking to make some great money.....that this part that should be in my computer and isn't.....may be the only culprit.
Since full scan takes a few hours but will reveal what is going on, while I'm at work tomorrow....he is going to do the scan and see what he can find out. Then we will proceed from there. So.....not too calm at all.
I do know Anne and Lost....that is an apt. description. Our family is just as afraid for us as we are about ourselves. They do just want us back, and their life back with us. It will get so much better than it is right now -- you really are able to find a place where this drat disease isn't ALWAYS taking center stage in some way. But it takes some time.....and it takes time too for us to move the black cloud off our shoulder and keep it at a good distance so it quits causing so much interference. It I think is a sort of learn as you go process. Seems at first your life is being ruled and it will never be good again....but time passes and we find a way to re-arrange life so that it can come close to what it once was. I think the worst is the black cloud likes to come back at test times or yearly mammograms.....and almost to a person we are tense and full of uncertainties until we get the all clear. Then I think anyone within half a mile likely hears the sound of whooshing air rushing out as we sink into total relief.
Anyway, I'm leaving a reminder too that for the next two and a half days I will be working from early in the morning until about 8:30 p.m. so any posts and quotes will be late. Hopefully though.....my computer will get well and not be such an issue.
Thinking of all of you and cruises and jaunts here and there and living just a little vicariously that way.
Blessings

Morning gals... Cammi! You little sweetheart! SOMEtimes, you just say the most heart-felt little ramblin's that come out of that mind, that I just want to hug you!
And we ALL love little Joey! Katie-Kat too...! You just make the best of what you were dealt... And you go on, to find another day, filled with the things you love...
I just wanted to tell you that... in the middle of all the teasing we do!
And whatever you mean by your "page jumps" ..... well, okay, I'll go along with that too.... whatever that means...
And Jackie, Norton just sent something to me about "heartbleed"... This site might tell more about it...
http://www.symantec.com/outbreak/?id=heartbleed
My SIL had someone work on her computer "remotely"... And it took about 2 hours... but she couldn't even get online... So it finally got fixed, and cost her $150 I think.... I know... YIKES! But it works.
Sometimes we download things, or programs, and that site carries little "riders" or "worms" that come along with the program, and attaches itself in our computer, and all hell breaks loose....
I've had Norton work "remotely" on my computer once also, and they cleared up the mess...
I also learned to not open something sent from family, or friends that looks "funny"... At least don't click on that impersonal link that is inside that email...
There are viruse's, Trojans, Worms, and Phishing that drive us all nuts.
I just hope you get it fixed soon!

Good Morning all
It's TGIF happy for some, but the most part it doesn't men much Whoa Jackie u've got a lot of hrs coming up--u are so patients with u'r patients. I think it doesn't bother u so OK.
Chevy I don't know what I said but u do know I'm on narcotics--just making that clear and BTW I smell so good today I don't want to leave myself and my nose to far apart. Nice Shower with all vanilla wash and after--Like one huge sugar cookie. As u all know my little one extremely sprained his ankle, like I said I saw a split in the bone, so Les is taking him back (my kids actually listen to me Ha) but he is on crutches and in for a while so we'll see what happens.
I made my own coffe this mrning and I have to say it is good and strong. Just the way I like it.
Safe travels Rita, I know u'll have a great time.
I've already had business started today, but I had already taken my shower so I was ready and I did actually get dressed today.I have an infection around my vagina (what's left of it) and it has tiny open sore--NO Chevy it's not an STD so I thought I'd get some neosporine and see if that helps, I get this every so often but I used to use a script for it but I'm not going to the Dr. again for this stupid thing. I know this is TMI but it's hard for me to wear underwear cuz it hits in odd places where it hurts and then get so itchy it bleeds--any suggestions.? That;s why I TMI's it.
Well I hope everyone has a good day and feels pretty good, I already took my pain meds--I' weak with addiction.
