Laura Jane - I rarely post in this thread anymore but do still follow it. I just wanted to say how amazing you are to me. I have always thought so. You were one of the reasons I first started reading this thread a year ago. I wish I could go through life with your attitude. I try but inevitably fail. Keep smiling . . .

ok, now for some levity! my friend sent this to me and i couldn't stop laughing, then immediately started checking labels.
OMG .....Check your shampoo bottle label. I don't know why I didn't figure this out sooner!! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and (duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY! NO wonder I have been gaining weight! Well I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using Dawn dish soap instead. Their label reads, DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. Problem Solved!

Inmate- I am going to go shower with Dawn right now!! LOL!!

Oh ladies! I'm blaming it on chemo brain.
TifJ, I read your post before I saw Inmates and thought - who the heck is Dawn? and why is she telling us she's to shower with her? What did I miss?
CHEMO BRAIN... LOL.

After I posted I re-read it myself and realized if one hadn't read inmate's post, you would think I was showering with some woman!! Just to clarify- Dawn dish soap!
McCrimmon- not chemo brain- just an unclear post!! LOL!!

Inmate - I loved the joke!
mccrimmon - I got the joke from a friend also and I still had to read Tif's message twice. I vote for chemo brain!

“There is a story of a woman running away from tigers. She runs and runs and the tigers are getting closer and closer. When she comes to the edge of a cliff, she sees some vines there, so she climbs down and holds on to the vines. Looking down, she sees that there are tigers below her as well. She then notices that a mouse is gnawing away at the vine to which she is clinging. She also sees a beautiful little bunch of strawberries close to her, growing out of a clump of grass. She looks up and she looks down. She looks at the mouse. Then she just takes a strawberry, puts it in her mouth, and enjoys it thoroughly. Tigers above, tigers below. This is actually the predicament that we are always in, in terms of our birth and death. Each moment is just what it is. It might be the only moment of our life; it might be the only strawberry we’ll ever eat. We could get depressed about it, or we could finally appreciate it and delight in the preciousness of every single moment of our life.”

Thank you, all of you that have posted such sweet notes.
Inmate- my spring bulbs are coming up too.walking around outside I noticed my hardy cyclamen are booming too. I love the winter blooming perennials so much it's like an appetizer to spring.
McCrimmon- I showered with a beautiful woman named Dawn once LOL I loved the photo, too funny!
Tis thyme- I'm tasting that strawberry right now.
IRR4993- how nice. We all fall down at one time or another but that just gives us a reason to stand back up.
My friend just sent me this joke I wanted to share with you.
Irish Coffee
An Irish woman of advanced age visited with her doctor to ask his advise on reviving her husbands libido.
"what about trying Viagra?" asked the doc.
"not a chance", she said...." he won't even take aspirin"
"not a problem," replied the doc. " give him an Irish Viagra"...
"what tis Irish Viagra?, she asked
"it's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a couple of weeks to let me know how things are going".
It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired about her progress.
The poor dear exclaimed, " oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor".
"Really? What happened? " asked the doctor
"well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was immediate."
" He jumped straight up, with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye! With one swoop of his arm, he sent cups and tablecloth flying, ripping me clothes to tatters and tookmme there and then passionately on the tabletop! T'was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!"
"why so terrible? " asked the doctor, "do you mean the sex wasn't good?"
"Freakin' jaysus, twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sitting here, I'll never be able to show my face in Starbucks again!"0 -
Okay ladies,
Here's the irony.....my real name IS Dawn. So, yes, I will shower with you all, but can you get my back?

I have had the pleasure of being friends with LJ on Facebook, and seeing some of her *amazing* landscaping. Wow... such talent!
LJ, I can only imagine what feelings of bliss and contentment your beautiful landscapes have provided for your clients. I picture your home as a David Winter cottage sculpture or a Thomas Kincaid painting.
These, and your children, are lasting legacies, however bittersweet.

Thank you so much for all your amazing words and support ladies. I went back and re-read my entry, and realize it is just a bit, um, out there, lol. It must have been late and I was pretty drugged up, but the sentiments were there
.
Thank you for all of the humor, need that today. Had my other lung tapped, but it was more uncomfortable this time (Damn I want to know the name of the man with that baseball bat!). Then the nurses were concerned about my Tachycardia, which is normal for me. So they rushed me to the ER, started an IV, and all that fun stuff. Thankfully, my doctor finally got called, and she told them to let me go. Fun fun.
I am horrible with names, so to the person who asked if I've contacted hospice, yes, but kind of. They will be coming in to hydrate me each week, but we are still doing palliative care as I am stil doing chemo for now. They were very nice about it.
So, we had a lovely cruise! What is great is that Disnay has an age appropriate group for all kids, open 9:00-Midnight, for free. We used it some of the time, in fact, our kids didn't want to do much else! So this allowed DH and I to lounge by the adult-only pool, and have a fantastic high end meal at Remy's, Disney's 'frou-frou' restaurant.
One day we spent on the private island and my oldest was able to snorkel to his hearts content. My younger two hung out on floats and tubes. Weather was so nice, low 70's.
Our stateroom was nice and spacious,mand we even had a verandah!
So it was really a great time together, we even snuck in a day to Legoland!
I'm going to finish this on a happy note - everyone's words have meant so much to me. We are an extraordinary group of women. For any newcomer, while I'm sad you have to be here, you can bet you won't find a better support group.0 -
Suze- it sounds like the cruise was wonderdul!! I am so jealous!! So glad the hospital trip was a short one this time!! Welcome back!!

LOL inmate! I love it!

Inmate- I just knew it was you! LOL
Heidi- how nice to write all of that. I wish I had you as my publicist. Really, really sweet, thank you.
Suze- I'm so glad you and your family had such a nice time on your vacation. What a blast! Baseball bat? I think I missed something? Glad your home. Have you considered the metformin?
Hope you all have a great evening. My son just helped me fix dinner which was so nice. I got almost everything done on my list today. I'm really looking forward to getting a manicure and pedi done Saturday morning. It's been too long. I have some clients taking me to dinner tomorrow night and Saturday I'm taking my daughter out to a carribean style fund raiser. Food, music and drinks. It's going to be a nice week end. I'll look forward to talking with you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.0 -

P.S. am still in awe of "dick" - priceless - absolutely priceless.

Yes, indeed...it's a lighter day on the thread. You ladies are the best. You just never know what to expect here. I like that we can laugh, cry, and spill our guts here.
Suze, your cruise sounds like it was a blast and very special for all of you.
Laurajane - my garden looks like crap every year...your work is so good and I'm now inspired to make an effort to spiff it up a bit this year.

Oh, I loved the jokes. Just what we all needed!
I'm trying to enjoy a glass of wine before bed, my 5 pound Yorkie Poo, wanted a taste, I gave him a taste off my finger, thinking he'd hate it, now he's gone mad, wanting more! I've created a monster.0
