    Well, I am not either one and I am home bound, so not to worry.  But sharing of the Cheetos and a box of wine sounds good to me.  I think we both have a few bad things to say about cancer.  We could probably write a book, but that would  take too much effort at this point  in my life.

    OK...another chemo-brain 50 year old moment. While I was out getting Christmas cards I stopped by two of our local thrift stores because our shopping is limited up here. My husband's 93 year old lives with us and she attends adult day care 4 days a week. It's been verrrrry cold and I was looking for her some pull-over, long sleeved warm shirts. I found a brand new black skirt and for the price I figured I couldn't go wrong on purchasing it for myself. Ummmmmm...what was my brain thinking??? The size is 0 (ZERO). Was I thinking it was an O as in Oh my gosh, your size??? Where's that box of wine???

    smithime, that sounds like something I would do, look at all of them and then pick up the wrong size.

    I had a vending machine bag of Cheetos today, boy they were good!  Thanks for the  birthday wished had a good day. The pictures are great Faith, how Naughty!!!  Cold, windy, and snowing here tonight, thought of wine but am going to make some good old fashioned hot cocoa.  If you add some white chocolate raspberry creamer it is wonderful, humm cookies, cheetos, Bravo anymore had to cut back.

    Please take this with a sense of humor, smithlme, but if your husband has a 93 yr. old, how old is he?

    quote from smithlme, "My husband's 93 year old lives with us and she attends adult day care 4 days a week."

    I have yet to get my Christmas cards ready.  One from DH's ex wife just arrived.  I don't know what she gets off on about sending us a card.  I tell DH if he wants her to have a card, he can send it.  Weird....Weird.

     Oh, no Faith!  Santa has been watching you.  He knows if you've been bad or good.....

    I felt so spirity and happy yesterday getting the trees up, but now reality has set in and I realize that going shopping is will require a good burst of energy that I don't really have.  Where are those elves when ya need 'em?  Or a real life Santa to just pop in and dump a few things under the tree.  If only!   Not that I'm much of a crafter, but maybe I should just go with some of those fabulous Cheetos ideas we've seen on here.  

    I put that Elf up for Faith, but I think a little naughty IS nice!

    Wow, I have had to read at least 5  ROFLMAO pages just to catch up here. People are deep in snow, cheetos and cheetos porn, our build a man is dipped in chocolate(love that naughty thinking Faith) and somebody has never seen A Christmas story Barbeeeeeeeeee! People have started Chemo and gotten B9 cat scans and Christmas cards from ex's. You are such fabulous women I hate to go away for more than a day because one could go blind reading all of these posts.

    I have been busy working at finding a new job in Omaha, but when I see that snow I wish I was looking for one somewhere that it is 70-85 degrees all year round! I can't believe this economy, I will have to take a huge cut in pay to move but I am so homesick that I will just have to do without Cheetos.

    Thanks so much for the laughs,

    Linda

    Oh my GOSH! Get busy for a couple days and come to have to read 5-6 pages to get caught up.

    The Cheeto thing was absolutely hilarious, but Faith, girlfriend, I loved the chocolate covered man.  Where do you buy those?

    A Christmas Story is several stories from a book called "In God In We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepard.  It's a riot.

    Gotta go-Later!

    Okay, so we know what a pedophile and a pedifile are, so if a guy has a fetish for young kids' feet what is he called? A pediophile? Would a pedicure help him or just turn him on?

    I woke up with orange fingers this morning........and I don't smoke.  Whatever could it be?  I woke up in the night and heard the remainder of the Cheetos calling out to me.  I think they were afraid of the dark.  WELL, I took care of that problem.Wink

    I just had an idea.  Get several packages of the Giant Cheetos, go to Home Depot and but some eye screws in bulk and screw one into each Cheeto.  Tie ribbons onto the eye screw and hang them from your Christmas tree.  As you pass the tree grasp an "ornament" by the ribbon (This is an inmportant step so you don't swallow the screw), pop the ornament in our mouth and pull on the rubbon.  The screw will pop out and and be used again.  A renewable resource for decorating!

    Sounds like WAY too much work Meece...I'll just eat them right out of the bag! Laughing

    You'd get to lick you fingers after you decorate.  Bet you don't do that now!

    Meece, I don't know if any of the Cheetos fiends here have the restraint to eat them so delicately, one at a time, but that is a fabulous decorating idea!

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    I'm tip-toeing thru.........

    I've now spent over 24 hours in the time-out room for naughty-middies.

    I'm fully acceptant of the coal that twill await my stocking.

    It was worth it.

    Teeheeheee heee heee hee heeeeee.

    a bag of cheetos balls, the regular ones.  String them on dental floss.  As you walk by the tree you can grab a nibble and perform clean your teeth at the same time!

    Actually you can alternate the Cheetos balls with cheese popcorn.  I love that stuff as well.

    I sense a publishing opportunity, just in time for our current economic slump, as Cheetos are not expensive. "101 Ways to Celebrate with Cheetos." Orange ya glad it's Christmastime?

    Sorry.

    Barbe - could be a "Pedopediphile." I have a friend who is a therapist - surely she can look this sort of thing up for us.

    Another slogan:

    Cheetos, not just for breakfast anymore.

    Yeah, the Frito-Lay ad-team really missed the holiday opportunity.  I think this thread has provided them with more than a few marketing ideas.  If they ever get used, we need to collect some commission on the boost in sales.

    Cheetos, the fourth food group.

    I like the popcorn too, but I really like to suck the Cheetos until they collapse in my mouth and then I grind my tongue on the roof of my mouth to break up the mass of cheese collected there and then swallow the whole load! That wasn't TMI was it? Embarassed

    I'd like to know what Faith was doing for the last 24 hours.....Wink

    Meece is on a roll...this should almost be a complete thread in and of itself! I wonder how many hits it'd get. hehehehehehee

    Barbe - That's what I do with the standard "puffy" kind of Cheetos! One at a time, dissolve and conquer! Can't do that with the other kind or you'll destroy the roof of your mouth...

    Bummer about the alcohol consumption appearing to result in a 30% increase in recurrence risk - but couldn't that be one of those statistics that is misinterpreted? Are we getting more recurrences because we're drinking, or are we drinking because we have cancer????? I'm actually not drinking more than about two drinks per month, but I don't like the idea that I shouldn't be able to have a couple of glasses of wine with a fancy dinner if I feel like it...

    I'm hoping no one does a study on the impact of Cheetos on recurrence... Surely there's some calcium in the glowing faux cheese that could be helpful and offset the sodium and high glycemic index???

    You know, at this point in my life this point in my bc journey I really don't care about the stats, risk factors, etc anymore.  All the risk factor info does is try to convince me that I deserve bc because I did (drink, eat food that tastes good) or didn't do (loose weght, eat only plant-based foods) something.  I'm not buying into that line of thinking.  It happened, I'm dealing with it, I don't need that crap.  If I want a drink, I'm going to have a drink.  If I want to eat well-done steak, I will.  I am NOT going to let bc run my life--either through what I should or shouldn't do or through intrusive "follow up" tests and inconvenient doctor's appointments. 

    So, that being said, my lunch today will be Cheetos and Zinfendel wine spritzers, followed by chocolate chip cookies.  And the world can cope or not, I don't care. 

    Ok, sorry for the rant.  It's been a dificult couple of days with appointments getting changed at the last minute and insensitive poeople trying to "help" me by pointing out how I'm "eating all wrong for your cancer" and then I got reamed out by a family member for reading a person the riot act about how it's not MY cancer, I didn't buy it and I'm not making a living off it (I was talking to an oncology nurse I used to work with).
