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

My Breast Surgeon said, they don't know WHY some women get breast cancer, and others don't.... She said our cells always replace themselves, and we make new ones, but once in awhile "something goes wrong" and the "bad" cells don't leave our bodies, and we get breast cancer...
There are too many reasons to even mention... We all blame "something" we did, or that happened to us...
But it happened! Sometimes the healthiest, thinnest women we have ever seen, get breast cancer, and what's worse, at an early age!
We read about it all the time, about all the celebrities that are, and have battled breast cancer...... Even our last Primary Care Doc!
They have come so far, but in some ways, not far enough, as far as a "cure"..... I don't think we can ever "cure" it, once we have it..... Just treat it, and hope for the best. Certain types of chemo, plus removing the tumor are helping a lot of women.... It depends on what stage, and grade when found. Also any lymph-node involvement.
"They" are trying everything they can..... at least I like to think that way.... When my Mom had breast cancer, they just took her breast off... That was what they DID about 20 years ago.... And when she passed away, it had nothing to do with her Bc.... It was her heart, 15 years later.
I read even in the days of the Egyptions, they found Breast Cancer, in some of the Mummies.... And years ago, it was pretty hush-hush.... No-one would talk about it....
I thought I was too old to get Breast Cancer! But at 72, guess not! But I'm almost 5 years out... so I just Thank God every night for another day, and Pray for another one.

Before I was diagnosed, every time I saw the doctor (and I went to see them religiously) I would ask if there wasn't anyway to check for breast cancer other than mammogram. I was always told "no", and they always shrugged off my concerns. when I would mention the fact that my Grandmother, Mother and Aunt all had breast cancer, they would ask their age at diagnosis. When I answered 80, again they shrugged. Then I was diagnosed at 60. After i was diagnosed I heard from a number of sources about breast MRI's - that they were so much more reliable than mammograms. After I was diagnosed, then they gave me a breast MRI - I'm still not too sure why - they already knew I had it - I'd already had a PET/CT scan, multiple mammograms, multiple removals of tissue (can't remember what they are called), multiple sonagrams (that's not the right word either - my brain isn't functioning today). I think at that point they figured that if they tested me enough I wouldn't be too PO'd at them for NOT testing me enough earlier on. Hmmmm - no, it really didn't work that way. I figure they must have missed it for at least 3 years, as my DCIS was 7+ centimeters, one IDC was 13mm, and two more were 2 and 3mm each. It had moved into my lymph. Yet, they had always shrugged away my concern. Needless to say I changed doctors and clinics after my diagnosis. I was very angry with them for awhile - but the truth is that they are humans, too, and they make mistakes, too. If they had found it earlier it would have been good - but hopefully they found it early enough that I won't have a recurrence - at least not too soon.
I refuse, though, to be angry with myself - to think that there must have been something I did wrong. The reality is that I probably did - but who knows for sure? You can live your whole life worried that you'll get cancer and spend all your time and energy on avoidance of problems and get hit by a truck and die anyway. I think I'm happier having had cancer but living a fun and full life than I would have been being anxious all the time - and maybe getting the stuff anyway. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it!!

It surely sounds complicated to determine what may be causing breast cancer to seemingly increase. I do believe that for some BC there will be a simple correlation with some energy source or chemical. I think stress is a trigger which is difficult to measure.
.
Chevy your posts and pictures are full of truth and uplift today. Your story about your fall and your neighbor's son speaks volumes. There are not many coincidences (if any) in this life. Imagine how different our lives would be if we listened more often to that inner voice that wants to guide us.I crawled into a tunnel today with absolutely no reason to be there. Family came, family left; grandkids are back home; some stressful moments on the week end. Impending separation for one DD, hurtful words were spoken; time will heal. I guess I chose to feel lonely today when the last of the kids left. I guess I chose to be sad instead of grateful.I missed a perfect day to walk on the beach. I missed working in the garden. I missed an opportunity to feel grateful for my health and job. I just didn't want to leave my sad place. I hope before the day ends, I will walk toward the light once again.
It's my annual mammo month and there was no appointment on my cancer center portal. I called and there was no written order for it. I see all these doctors and I don't have a mammo order...strange. My MO left suddenly so her mind has been elsewhere. My BS "discharged" me to a NP. I will get a call back soon. I hope they can fit me in this month.
Jackie, if you are having humidity and heat again, I guess my cool dry breezy weather may be history soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day and a better tomorrow.

Joan....we had a massive thunderstorm....apparently stronger winds in town than out here at the lake. We got to town ( had a class to go to ) and there were a lot of limbs on the ground here and there. Fortunately, that seemed mostly the case --- no damage to property....just a few good sized limbs on the ground. Hope no one had to suffer property damage. Anyway, we needed a jacket almost when we got out of class. May get another storm through the night. Sure hope the winds won't come again.
You know....we have to have some down times. No one can be up all the time. There have to be some fluctuations now and then. Maybe you didn't quite choose Joan....maybe you really NEEDED to have the feelings you did. There were some problems and you sounded ambivalent. So you went to a vantage point where you could start a process of sorting what you could out. If we did not experience sadness, joy could not bring the huge pleasure and warmth and sort of indescribable happiness that comes.
Sometimes you have to be sad and cry and let your disappointments take over. What you don't face just continues to hurt and be a bit elusive.
I think you already know -- but give yourself a break. All those things you felt you missed today will be there when you are ready---when your out from under that cloud. You will be grateful again just as soon as you can have that emotion fully and un-fettered by today's scene.
Blessings
Jackie

Joan I know just what u need, a road trip, n we should invite ourselves to duckys shore house. It is ok to feel whatever u wsnt. U have been moving n running 4 the last couple months,, now u have come toa stop. Breathe and enjoy the quiet, cause it wont last.
Well I am adopted n my biological mother died from a recurrence of bc after 15 years, dying @ 63, I got my recurrence after 14 years and now am 60. Mine is genetic n I live on the 95 corridor which has a high incident of cancer.
I am so grateful to b able to come to a place where people r not judgemental, truly understand and r wonderful listeners n we can still joke around. I treasure u all.
((((Hugs)))) to u all

As we treasure you, Blondie. We make it a two way street here. The love and wisdom here is incredible. It's home.

Sandy, I did not know that about the 95 corridor. And I did not know about your family history. I doubt that we will learn what caused the BC in our generation. But there is hope for the future.
Meanwhile, Jackie, you are so right...and I do believe it is OK to feel those feelings even if they don't seem "good for me". I know there will be a better tomorrow. Thanks for your acceptance.
A good friend will spend time listening and sitting nearby - not judging or trying to "fix" the problem.
That is what is so valuable here.Sandy, I like your suggestions. I do need some quiet time before i get on the road again....I look forward to getting up tomorrow and saying "what do I want to do today?"

Littlegardens.... that makes so much sense! We could question everything in our lives that happened, and still never really KNOW what happened.....
We just go on, and always do the best we can....
I know a broken hip doesn't compare to BC, but honestly that hurt me worse than ANYthing that ever happened to me! It takes just so LONG for things to begin to work right again.... Even my back surgery, didn't compare to trying to get this hip/leg to start working like my other one does. Maybe it is my age, but I've read about a lot of other younger people with sports injuries that talk about it taking a year or so
No, you can't be mad at yourself! That feeling just drags you down....
0 -
Oh HEY all my friends, Ha! I posted to LittleGardens, and you guys were on the last page!
Okay Joan, at least you realized what you "missed!" That is a good start! I went outdoors about an hour ago, before it got light..... I just LOVE to sit there, and "listen" and drink my coffee! Best time of the day!
It REALLY rained here last night also Jackie! So much lightening and thunder!
And while I've been worrying and wondering what is going on with my neighbor, I CALLED her! She sounded so much better! You know I talked to her Saturday, and went to see her, and later her Son came & got her and took her to Emergency.... He called me later and said she seems to be better, and going home, and maybe an inner-ear infection? That might be causing her dizziness.
But she said that SUNDAY she pressed her "help" button, and they sent the Paramedics! Oh Good Lord, not them TOO!!!! But they came.... we didn't see or hear a THING! But they asked if she wanted to go to hospital, and since she wanted to go to the one that is 5000 miles away, they said "oh no, we could take you to Lutheran, but not out there!" So she stayed home!
Then Steve heard about all this.... they came over, she said, and sat her down, and told her that THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ANYMORE! WE ARE LOOKING INTO A ROOM AT THE SAME HOME THAT DAD IS IN, AND WE WILL MOVE YOU OVER THERE!!!! WE CAN'T BE RUNNING DOWN HERE EVERY DAY, ALONG WITH CHEVY AND THE PARAMEDICS...... Quote unquote!
She told me this, and I said Oh Thank GOD! I told her how dangerous it IS for her, and how we are ALL worried about her!
But it kind of makes me wonder, how did she CHANGE so fast? I mean feeling like she HAD to have us all around her every minute? And people taking her EVERYwhere, and just feeling like we all OWE it to her? And then we feel guilty, if we can't BE there every second she is awake! Talk about "deMANDING~!"
So Steve and his wife, will take care of things.... they said they would TRY it for a month, and if she didn't like it, she could go home! IF SHE GOES BACK HOME THEN I WILL TAKE HER PLACE IN THAT HOME!!!!!
They told her they will not sell the house, only rent it. Now she can see her DH whenever she wants! They will have their own rooms, but not be in the SAME room. BOTH of them would drive you nuts!
Yes, I will go visit her, but I won't feel obligated to run up there every other day...
So today I won't have a thing to worry about.... Maybe we'll go walk around the Mills....

I didn't know what you guys were talking about.... when you said "95 corridor"..
So I looked it up....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_95
Is there an assumption that there could possibly be a connection from the pollution, etc, to maybe causing different kinds of cancer?
That might make sense, IF the pollution caused cancer, but since BC was found in the Egyption mummies, that doesn't quite figure.... We KNOW smoking causes lungc cancer, but not all the time! Smokers ARE more likely to GET lung cancer...
You know, my SIL quit smoking when our FIL passed away from lung cancer.... But she started up again.... Then her DAD passed away from lung cancer, and she quit yet again! But of course she is back to smoking STILL!
Her teeth are yellow, she sounds like a guy, and she reeks of smoke.... but she doesn't care. We don't see them that often, but every time we do, she sounds even worse. That smokers hack doesn't bother her! Just everyone else.
I smoked, but quit in 1964.... I quit 3 times before I actually QUIT! Sure it's hard, but when you think about it costing you your life, it makes it easier to stop.

Joan, thank you for providing the name, epigenetics. Time magazine had an in-depth article on it a year or two ago. Sorry you have the "blues," but everyone gets them. I know I do. In that mood everything I think about depresses me. But, thank goodness, it passes and we look on the bright side again.
Chevy, your neighbor's situation is sad. She's fortunate to have a concerned son and a compassionate neighbor. I hope the room in the facility close to her dh works out better for her.
We got up to 60 degrees this morning. I put on long pants and a long shirt. We're hoping the wind dies down a little because we plan to play golf at the pretty little executive golf course down the highway about a mile. It's hilly but short and we walk, using our push carts, instead of renting a riding cart. We save $40 by walking and the exercise is good for us.
DH is watching the Tour de France bicycle race on tv. The areas the bikers bicycle through are so beautiful.
Time for breakfast.
Happy Tuesday to all.

Oh Jackie, that is sooooo true. When I am doing the mundane simple things, I sometimes stop to realize how blessed I am. And that others are praying for things I may even complain about.
Chevy, you realized that your neighbor was in need of more than you can give. This intervention sounds like good timing for her. You are a very important part of her life. I do hope she will adapt and accept the care she will have in her new surroundings.
You made me smile when you said you'd take her spot. Sorry you are having such a difficult recovery. I agree that for some of us, there are things that seem more challenging than BC. It's the emotional side of BC that brings us here, I think.I miss those big boomin' storms in Denver...they would form over the mountains in the afternoons and I could see them coming for miles. One time in the late 70s we had a wind and dust storm so bad it blew dust to 30,000 feet. DH was at work and I huddled in the dark under the covers with my 3 little girls. I'm sure you've seen it all.
So, I posted this on another thread today and do not know any other way to say it, so....
I just want to thank y'all for sittin' by me yesterday."It's a hazy morning with a cool but humid breeze. I'm out on my deck with coffee and loving the no-rush time. I'm watching honey bees work the flower boxes and birds at the feeders.
Beach walk, plant a flower box, hang solar lights...

Oh my, Chevy -- ( " Little Gardens " ), I thought I was losing it. Well, my download looked weird this morning so I though something peculiar had possibly happened....then I read your post entry. How funny !!!! Unusual sometimes how a small series of steps you were not expecting ,when emerged make you think everything DEFINITELY has gone weird on you. Nice to see it is all normal after all.
I did not really know too much either about the I-95. So, Chevy, I used your link. Hate to admit it but it never occurred to me to look it up. There, my secret is out. Sometimes I don't THINK of how to educate myself about something. A computer with world-wide knowledge on any question I would care to ask.......and I just sit here doing nothing. I'm not totally balanced.
Chevy.....your poor little neighbor. Don't know that there is a correlation here, but I recall when my Dad decided he needed to stop driving. He came to my house often......and went wherever he wanted....often. One day I was riding with him back to his house......I could feel his tension and total un-easiness. He was and had been a magnificent driver ( no accidents or tickets ) for all of his life.....and he was hard of hearing, so the car mirrors were his constant friends.
Well, when we got to his house.....he asked me if I would help him sell his car ( since he didn't hear well, even with a good hearing aid ) and I said yes.....but knew immediately, that sometime after we got into his ( a new car ) car at my house to drive the 10 miles to his, he just lost it --- THAT QUICK. If anything had happened on his way to my house, he would have had me drive. Just to say....I do think some changes can come on very fast. Though Dad was fine in every other way as far as I could see, that QUICK change made a believer out of him and he obviously didn't want to HAVE to experience whatever the feeling was that he had on that ride home that day again.
I don't know, but it just seems like maybe something scared your little neighbor Chevy and though she wants probably to control it....it is controlling her -- just like my Dad having a sudden overwhelming fear of driving his car. What do I think --- I think the Universe finds an Angel to whisper in your ear --- and then creates a situation which will HELP you get the picture that maybe it is time for a change in your existence.
There was no reason for my Dad to feel not only competent, but just as confident as he always had......and at any time he could have pulled over and had me take over the driving. Yet, he toughed it out --- which was likely meant to happen just that way.....so he would hold onto the total discomfort that was created --- so he would do what the Universe knew was right for him. Well, I am convinced anyway because I knew my Dad so well.
I think I read somewhere that it is harder to give up smoking than it is heroin. It is a powerful addiction. My SIL was diagnosed with lung cancer right this just past X-mas Eve. She passed away ( at age 66 ) the first few days of Mar. this yr. She never totally quit smoking -- though it is doubtful that she did all that much harm, as she I think had what is called Oat Cell cancer and that goes very quickly. When she told her friends and family that she had lung cancer she MADE sure they knew it was NOT from smoking. She continued to deny that this cancer came from smoking -- and though anything is possible, it is not likely that it was anything else. She often did something I read should never be done.....to extinguish a cigarette and re-light it later. She also inhaled a lot of second-hand smoke along with her own directly inhaled smoke.
Her husband is still smoking like a chimney and now smokes in the house which is something my SIL insisted NOT happen while she was alive....so his house, his car, even his little dog smells like a filthy ash-tray. He does not notice it. He said he was going to quit after watching his wife pass on, but it has been four months now and the urgency, after seeing her dwindle to 64 #'s and not even be able to speak, I think has passed. I hope he can still get there, but the truth is he has more reasons ( with having lost her ) to keep smoking now then he ever did before. That is sad.
Hope you all have a good day.
Blessings

I used to do that too Jackie! Put a cigarette out, and save it for later, because they cost soooo much! 30 cents a pack at that time! I would look under couch cushions for spare change, because I wanted to buy cigs so much! I know it's awful.
It got to where that when I would inhale, it "hurt" my chest.... So I started smoking menthol cigarettes... Like Kool, or Paxton... But then even that hurt too! I started smoking when I was about 17 I think... and smoked for about 13 years! Man, that sounds like a long time.....
I don't think I needed a reason to smoke.... It was just very enjoyable to me....
And Jackie, that is interesting about your Dad.... You know I will be 77.... and I wonder how much longer I will be able, or WANT to drive! I could get a new car, but since my leg, is a lot better, and I can use this damn clutch in my little '99 Chevy, I might just keep it! DD is helping me think about a different car..... one that is easier to drive.... But when I said I could buy a NEW car, she asked "How much longer will you NEED a car?"
And then it hit me! I probably WON'T be driving in maybe 10 more years! So I just need a used car.... if I get one! She said she could take us anywhere we wanted to go....... if/when I quit driving!
I know my other older friend, still drives, and SHE just turned 90 also! DAMN! And another old guy that we meet for breakfast.... HE is 88, and you can tell he has Parkinson's! He can barely WALK, but he sure drives!
So thanks for that look into the future.... for that realization!
Okay, she had called when we were gone.... now I can't get ahold of her..... I wonder what is wrong NOW! Maybe she IS being driven by fear, or something....
I'm sure her Son & DIL are also baffled, but trying to help her out as best they can..... If I know her, she will STILL call them and want them to take her here, and there, and anywhere she thinks of going! Then THAT part is up to THEM to not always be available.

The husband of one of my summer guests kindly make a speech at breakfast explaining that people who get cancer have something else wrong in their lives and so it shows up in this way. He was serious!! I kept my mouth shut and just kept furiously drinking my coffee so as not to insult the new husband of this long time friend. Later in the day she and I were discussing my treatment and he asked when I had had cancer. This winter I replied. OH, hope I didn't hurt your feelings or upset you he says. I just let it pass. There's no chance to win an argument with someone who thinks he knows everything. Now how ridiculous. With all the research going on this guy thinks he knows the reason!!! Bah bah bah.

I would have hit him over the head with the stand-by official cast-iron skillet!
That guy is a jerk, plain & simple! He doesn't know chit from Shinola, as my Dad would have said. You COULD walk up to that numb-nuts and say, "As a matter of fact, YES you did offend me & make everyone else with more than 1/2 a brain think you were NUTS for talking such complete nonsense!"
"And FURTHERMORE it is imperative that you keep your mouth SHUT when around other people, if you can't find something intelligent to say!"
THAT ought to fix HIM!
I'll bet the more you think about him, the madder you get, Mimi! Ha!
Okay, PITA neighbor called back.... She said she wanted to go to the Hospital, because she was dizzy.... yet again..... DIL went and got her some Meclezine for dizziness... 30 miles HERE, and 30 miles back home! So she called me to ask how to take them, because she has Macular Degeneration and can't read the box, or ANYthing for that matter... I told her to take the whole bottle.... and call me in the morning.
ACTUALLY I told her to take ONE, and then every morning beFORE she gets UP, and picks up the PHONE and calls any other person to tell them she is dizzy..... sort of.
I'll go have coffee with her this morning... but DH won't go.... Maybe SOON her Son will make those arrangements to get her into that home, in a padded cell, with no phone.

Chevy u'r loaded with patience, even tho u'r mouth runs wild. How in the hell could Mimi actually say that o her dear friends husband she'd have to be much more gentle not to offend her friend like well, something like--WTF are u talking about u small minded stupid man--u see that's not really an insult cuz most men know this already--they have been told that many times in their life.
I hope everyone has a good day--I have finished my paperwork for my yrs of taxes and it will be mailed today. It was like a small novel of my life, and I proved to them I have no life. That's for sure
Everyone sounds pretty good , well better cuz vacations have started and Jackie is keeping everyoned as usual. Jackie I know some people are harder to balance than others (no names mentioned--car)
I've got to do some cleaning today and some errands finally So I hope I get some things done anyway.

Okay miss Cammera-Pie.... THAT was funny! Yes, you are so stabilized and honorary! THAT was not exactly a gentle thing to say EITHER! Now Mimi will start to sound like US! Yes, those men DO know they are sometimes not worth a pile of beans.
Glad you are finally getting your taxes done.... Why does it take you 5 years to do one little tax thing? It's a wonder they don't send out the Paddy-wagon for you.
So okay.... I have to make an appointment to go get balanced.

OK mIss smarty pants I'll have u know it's been 7 yrs of this chit, so the paperwork--I admit it should just be a page but unfortunately they want my whole life these past 7 yrs and u know I wrote extra that's why it takes me so long--I am not appreciated by my government ever so I have lots to do yet, now the Governor is still being stubborn.

Wait! You say balanced? Stay with me here.... So you mean we have to go to a tire place to get balanced?
That makes sense.... I don't know nothin' about anything else you just said.
Barely even this........

LOL, Cammi! You want our Chevy to get balanced!
Mimi, when I was dx'ed, one of my golf friends asked another golf friend if I ate a lot of sugar. She thought eating a lot of sweets could cause bc. The wife of my oldest brother is certain that taking HRT was the culprit. As a matter of fact, I ate almost no refined sugar. And women who have never taken HRT get bc. Women who've had 6 kids and breastfed all of them get bc. Women who have never had an alcoholic drink get bc. Fat women, skinny women, women who exercise, women who never exercise, women who eat healthy, women who don't eat healthy. They ALL get bc.
I find it really offensive for people to try to pinpoint the reason. Those people are certain I did something wrong and could have avoided the disease. If my BC dr., who is a specialist on breast disease, doesn't know, ORDINARY CITIZEN definitely doesn't know.

Mimi, I think I stumbled on the perfect quote and I found it before I came here to read. It is frustrating to "listen" to the people who have -------- THE REAL DEFINITIVE ANSWER ---------- very good thing most of we women have been blessed with great patience and the ability to bite our tongue without harm to ourselves at the appropriate times...most of the time.
Actually, I'll have to admit that for the most part.....I try to do most of what I do with some moderation, because, as mentioned, who really knows. We ingest small amts. of substances that are not great for us all the time....like heavy metals ( mercury in tuna fish etc. ) So, the age old or so it seems, advice about 'moderation' seems to me the best thing to use and not give myself panic attacks, nervous breakdowns, or other upsets to add to the mix of possibilities as to being one of the recipients of this disease.
Chevy, I still think something has really caused upset ( some shift in how her brain operates ) for your neighbor and she is so un-comfortable and I think having so many dire thoughts all the time about her life and health. I think everyone who reaches a certain age has the likelihood of losing discernment, in different areas. Even the lady I care for......remembers so well the earlier years of her life, but can't always remember what I said five minutes ago and though she does everything else for herself.....cannot be trusted with cooking instructions or kitchen appliances.
Well, Cammie....as always you are so funny -- you and Chevy, but I am glad that you have waded through most of your tax issues. Sure hope now they will straighten up and get out of your hair and do by you what they should.
Carole, we are having a nice weather day here today. Not too hot or so they say....humidity is down and behaving for the next couple of days ( after some massive storms ) and nothing should be bad for us. We can back off the air conditioner I hope....and have the doors and windows open for the early part of the day anyway. I know you are having mainly nice weather there.
Joan, I hope your starting out your day in a wonderful way.....filled with some anticipation for some good projects to undertake.
Thinking of you too, Blondie. Hope yours too will be good for you.
I'll likely see you all later.
Blessings

Hi Everyone,
I have been lurking for awhile. Last week was so hectic at the broom shop, DH could not make brooms fast enough. We did not open on Monday and were going to open yesterday, went to town, and came home. We are so exhausted. DH slept most of the day. He was going to close for the week, but got up this morning and went in. I am still coughing, finally got on the allergy med, hope it works. It is better.
I read a post about robbers. In July or Aug of 2010, everyone was in bed, I was checking to make sure the door was locked and I heard the motor home door close, it has a distinct click. I told DH he got his rifle and went out side on the porch and there were 3 figures headed down the drive. He shot over their heads. Then he got scared, what if I did hit one of them. We called the Sheriff, by the time it was over we had , Sheriff dept, DPS, Border Patrol, and helicopters here. What a night.
Well I need to get some things done today, I am so far behind. DH has decided I need to stay out of the broom shop until my allergies are under control. I like being there and helping with what I can.
My muscle and joint aches from the Tamoxifen seem to be easing, maybe it is because I have taken the cymbalta for 6 months now and have enough in my system. Hope it stays this way.
Hugs and take care

Mommarch....what a story about being robbed. So scary in a way.....but sure glad it was the motor-home ( that you weren't in at the time ) and not your house. I would probably be like your Dh and worry that I had GOTTEN over the heads of anyone that I was shooting at....as they were leaving. I'm soooo against stealing. For one thing, so much of what we MIGHT have is often gotten with lots of labor and patience.......and to have someone not only take it, but not even care how hard you may have had to work and what you might have gone through to provide something for yourself.
Sorry to hear that the allergies are still dragging on you, but good news on the Tamoxifen and Cymbalta. Hope that the allergy med will kick in real soon too.
Blessings

Oh Mommarch, what a nitemare, how could u even rest after that fiasco??? To scary for me--U Texans are a tough bunch.
Jackie u are so tender in your words and in u'r life the people u care for must just love you.
Carole, like Jackie (for once) the weather here has been pretty good as far as low humidity, rain during the night but not so much during the day with a nice breeze.
Chevy I don't remember saying anything about balanced but then again I don't remember anything I've said, it only comes to my mind that one time usually.
Oh my kids just came home, they were gone for almost a week and basically I was on the computer only for work, cuz I didn't stay in my room and my paranoid SISTER told me not to say anywhere that I was alone. so I've been paranoid all week and this time the dog and cat wanted equal time so it was quite a week for me taking care of those 2 babies, cuz that's what they acted like as soon as Katie-Kat came to me Sox would start moaning and he actually howled at us-til I showed him attention so my sleep was not so good they'd wake me up in the middle of the night laying on me breathing on me--what a pair, but Katie showed no fear--So I'm exhausted from just taking care of the house and our furbabies and my little job--So now It's my turn again to rest. not theirs but I'm so happy to see Joey--he called everyday and he's been hugging up a storm.

yesterday hubby and I went to see the movie "Tammy" at an Ipic theater. Have you ever been yo an Ipic? They are expensive, but oh my!! The seats are leather recliners. The popcorn is free. They serve food and drinks (you have to pay for those, but the prices aren't too bad). No kids so they serve beer, wine and mixed drinks if you want them. (I had iced tea, my normal drink of choice). Anyway, the movie was good, too.
Then we went fishing on Puget sound. Such a warm, wonder full day, and guess who caught a salmon? Me!!! Normally I don't fish, I just read a book while hubby fishes, but he was trolling yesterday, so I fished, too.
It was a really great day.

I don't think they were robbers, I think they were illeagels, who got through the desert to our oasis here in the desert and this is the shortest route through to I-10, I think they had been there resting all day and were traveling at night. We do not keep things locked out here. We have 300 residence and 17,000 acres of land, mountain terrain.
