As for hot flashes and night sweats, I haven't turned the furnace on in THREE years! And I live in Canada!!!

Yes Kathi, it CAN stand for what you think it does - depends on your frame of mind!!!! Or "final" if you prefer.

I'll have to see if my hot flashes return when the humidity arrives. That seems to be a factor for some. That might be a personal thing too, otherwise the Florida people would be flashing away and the Arizona people would be thinking, "What are those other ladies talking about?" Also, Canada has some dry Winter air, right? Yet, Barbe has heated her home with body heat alone for three years. Barbe, the silver lining is when your utility bill arrives.0

After the first winter the Gas Company actually came and replaced our meter! ehhehehe, joke's on them!
We use a gas fireplace in our livingroom to heat the entire house. Means the bedrooms are gloriously cold for sleeping.
We had over 11 feet of snow last winter...not so dry!

Elimar, I know you told me a long time ago there was no carding and that I wouldn't be kicked off when I hit 60, but I have started posting on the "older women" forum. I will stop in from time to time just to see how you younger ladies are doing. I still have a head full of middle aged memories so I will be on there when I have a flashback. Stay healthy all you lovely ladies and let me know how that man you were putting together holds up. Marybe
PS Never did get the hang of posting pics in spite of great instructions and advice, but the avatar now showing is me with my post chemo hair and my silky, Harley in his chemobrain tshirt.

Marybe, Happy belated wishes to you! If you were not inclined to tell your age, that new picture certainly would not give you away. You have a healthy glow and a dazzling smile! (Good hygiene, right?) I got you a cake...I grated some lemon zest into the batter and there's fresh squeezed lemon in the frosting. I know it's going to be tasty.
Since "ish" is a pretty loose term, you are certainly welcome to stop back as often as you'd like. I don't know whether I'll ever join the "older" group. Maybe I'll just start a new thread for those of us in our "second childhoods" when the time comes.

Hi Marybe, looking good!!! Come on in and visit anytime.

Hi Gina, glad to hear you are having a better day and gaining strength, thanks for sharing a very nice video. As I wait for the patholgy reports to see if this bump in the road is cancer also I keep telling myself it will be ok.
0 -
Thanks for the video inspiration, Gina. How are you doing with your drain out? Is the fluid staying out of the area? That's a good feeling when you feel your strength returning. Glad you are doing better.
Yesterday a magazine came from my Health Center, listing a bunch of community events. One was a "Cancer Survivor's Sundae" (on a Sunday, get it?) While I haven't yet made it to a local support group, I bet I could "force myself" to go to this event. Tee-hee. (Now just keep that quiet, I don't want to get in trouble with the E-LAB group. I'm already on probation there. I guess baked Cheetos aren't a diet food. My bad!)

Elimar, I missed that I thought baked ones were ok, LOL oh well we can't give up all our bad habits.

Gina, thanks for the link to the video, however I started watching a few of the breast cancer ones and was particularly moved by one that could probably be our threads theme song "You are not alone" it was sung by the Pink Choir.
Hope everyone had a great weekend, it must be the nice weather that is making our thread slow down a bit eh?

I think your right about the weather OmahaGirl. I know I'm trying to read each day, but it's so late I'm not usually posting!

Hi,
Ridges on fingernails can also be caused by a thyroid imbalance.

I can't wade through all the pages in the other thread but speaking of thyroid are any of you taking iodine tabs? My supplement guru in Omaha had me buy sea vegetables and OMG they smell and taste just like stinky stink fish food and I just cannot gag them down. If you do, how much and what kind?
0 -
Omahagirl, I was not before having mine removed, have yout tried the natural girls thyroid thread?
Jan, will ask my Endo about it when I see her on Wednesday.

Meece, Since I just got a belated cake for Marybe, I got some cupcakes for you. They are just mini-cupcakes and if you scrape off most the frosting I don't think they'll wreck your diet too badly. I brought enough for everybody here, 'cause your Mid-Age buddies want to celebrate with you.
HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!

Thanks for the cupcakes Elimar - they are so yummy! Thanks for having birthdays Marybe and Meece.

Carolinachick, I had to get right back into the cyber-kitchen and cyber-bake a birthday treat for you since yours was this past weekend. Hope it was "all that and a bag of Cheetos!" Made you a nice angelfood cake (not too high in calories) but then a devilish voice in my head said, "Go on, drizzle some yummy icing on there AND put some sprinkles! (And who among us has not heard that little voice before?) Enjoy!
0 -
Whew! All that cyber-baking has made me hungry. I'll just go and have some celery sticks. (Anyone believing that one?)0
-
Ya, I believe it, just like I believe I had carrot sticks for lunch.

Thanks for the cyber-cake, Elimar! It was delicious!!

I'm stuffed! What's for dinner?

Cake was really good, went well with my jelly beans, they are fat free right????
0 -
Jelly beans are definitely fat free, cake CAN be fat free, depending on the recipe and the rules in force at the time. My favorite rule is that cake that celebrates something has no calories.

Since I am home this week with too much time on my hands cooking is especially in. Yesterday made homemade pasta sauce which we had with whole grain pasta, homemade bread and rhubarb crunch. Today I think it will be mushroom sauce swiss steak with mash potato and green beans.Tommorrow my DH and I will go out for lunch when we go back to the doctor, plus the doctor is right next to Lowe's so have to make a Lowe's run of course.
0 -
Oh Carol, Can you please send some of that yummy sounding food over to Williamston?? It sounds so good and I absolutely HATE to cook (plus I'm too tuckered after a day at the office).
Hope the doctor's visit goes well tomorrow. Enjoy Lowe's????? (DH would enjoy, I sure wouldn't)
