    LOL, annettek!

    chrissyb, I wasn't even sure if that photo was taken by you, but just knowing that it was makes the Cheetos seem that much fresher!

    jenn3,  How are you feeling?  Some of the energy coming back?

    Happy Cancerversary Eli!! And many more!!

    Welcome Janinnj!! Sorry to meet under these circumstances but welcome nonetheless!!

    As for the mystery pic, I am just trying to figure how my DH very sunburnt back got all the way up to Canada!!!! I was so P/O with him for doing yardwork(yeah!!) yesterday and taking off his shirt --and not putting on sunscreen!!! He has already had two  SC spots removed from his back. Don't know why he likes to tempt fate!!

    My stupid letter moment came recently when I received a letter this May from my gyn, asking why I haven't "followed up" on my mammo from 5/10. If they had checked their records they would have seen that after that mammo--which was a 6 month follow up from a questionable mammo 9/9---came out "clear". Three weeks later I was biopsied by my BS and DX. I walked away from my gyn--a year of not recognizing BC when he sees it, and a hospital and lab that misdiagnosed me for a year. I haven't been back since LAST May, and he just NOW sends me a "where are you?" letter. Chemo, BMX, and rads, that's where I have been! Just a reminder that a gyn is not always a breast doctor. Much happier with my new GP--who seems to know and care more than my last GP and Gyn combined!!

    My DH is glued to the Women's World Cup game right now, so I guess I am off to do my Sunday laundry. Woot!! Everyone have a WONDERFUL Sunday, enjoy the day!!!

    Claire, I'm so jealous that you get to do laundry, NOT!



    Well I'm off to see an old friend with my DD (if she ever gets out of the shower). I feel a little guilty because I'd been avoiding her, but really thought I was doing it for her. Her DH died of cancer a couple of years ago (he was a firefighter with my DH) and then her mom died of BC two weeks later. I didn't want to be that reminder fo her. They never even figured out what kind of cancer her DH had.



    I saw her in May and was so glad. Well off to drag DD out of the bathroom wish me luck.



    Oh, almost forgot - I know absolutely nothing about flowers but it looks like some kind of orchid petal to me. Althought it could be Annettek's big toe lol

    Barbe, reveal whenever you want to, and IF no one has guessed exactly then it is your call as to who came the closest.

    I've thrown in the towel because I was not even close with a floral guess.

    Welcome YaYa5, and you have found us during our weekend pastime of playing Mystery pic.  It isn't the pic at the top of the page (which is a peony, btw) but it is a pic posted back on 418 by Barbe1958.  Still time to guess, go for it.

    Then, tell us how you are doing...I'm thinking you might just have started your chemo?

    Welcome yaya - What a way to jump right in.  This is a crazy bunch of gals who can get serious and give lots of support and information.

    I still think the mystery pic is some kind of exotic flower - can't come up with the name of it though.

    Happy Anniversary Elimar! 

    I know there are some Jersey shore fans here.  Just got back from a weekend at my brother's house in Wildwood Crest.  What great weather we had!  I am SO jealous of some of you that mentioned you have houses down the shore.  What a great way to spend the weekend.  Sang On the Way to Cape May all the way down there.  Good to be home though.

    Welcome yaya, sorry you are joining us but it is a great place to get support from other sisters.

    How come none of you PA people pick me up on your way to the shore? I'm only a few minutes out of the way lol. I mean you get in free (of course you have to pay to go home).



    J/K



    Had a great visit with my girlfriend. But I think my DD was a bad influence on her daughter. I mean she brought up how my GF and I used the same ID to go to bars in college. It was really funny when we were together at a table once and got carded. Bartender just looked at them, shook his head, and kept going. I guess he figured if we were brave enough to hand them to him together who was he to say anything. BTW I was the "legal"one.



    Welcome YaYa5 we're a great group here. We can hold virtual hands, answer questions, or just kid around. Whatever is right for the moment.

    Y'all were so close really! But we don't have exotic flowers in Canada (unless I took them inside). It was a HOLLYHOCK at my bro's house!!

    I'd say whoever mentioned orchid first should get the prize. Who was it elimar?

    I'm laughing at myself because I'm afraid to pick what the mystery pic is because if I got it right, I would have to find something to post next weekend. What a chicken I am!!

    Welcome Yaya5!

    I think Eph guessed the orchid first

    I wish we had pretty flowers like that in our gardens but Texas is just too dang hot!

    What a beautiful picture! But it actually looks more a foxglove to me....

  • barbe1958
    barbe1958 Member Posts: 7,605

    HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAAA\

    OMG!!!! OF COURSE it's foxglove!!! I am too funny. They have a huge hollyhock plant that's higher than my head and I took pictures of it too, which is why I said look higher. This IS a foxglove. I say Barb58 wins!!!

    (of course, I could say that we call them hollyhocks in Canada! hehehehehehehhehee)

    I knew it was some kind of flower.
