    Oh dear Kathryn, you are not alone.  There is one woman out there that I have a few "special" nicknames for, too.  I hope that She NEVER crosses my path, again.  I am afraid that I would have no self control.  One of us would end up in the hospital and one of us in jail.  And since I vowed after MX that I never wanted to be in the hospital again, I guess it would be me in the jail!!!

    Heather..if you can do 30 minutes for a 5K that is awesome...a 10 min mile!  That is where I am right now..hoping to get to a 9 but who knows....I just keep running a hope that I will get faster...remember to extend your legs...I keep forgetting to do that and it really helps.

    Cocker..I saw the Queen Mother on TV day...thought of you...My DH thinks she is a little uptight..but I guess she has a right to be....I would be a little grouchy if I had a daughter in law like Camilla..lol..

    If anyone hears from Jenn please pass it on..I sent her a pm but not sure if she will respond.

    Kathryn...I think you can swear on here...no problem... one of my posts was reported here once...I called someone a **SS ..h***l...yeah..I should have stepped back and just turned off the computer but I didn't...it was someone that considered chemo the worse thing you can do to yourself and I took exception to that...she obviously wasn't tn....but that is way in the past...no harm done. I've been good ever since...

    I agree with you about the Captain....when we go out that is what we get...but for "at home" we have the cheap stuff

    *waves hi to Sugar*. Feel better!



    Well ladies I'm home and you don't have to bail me out of jail Navymom. I could feel all your *evil grins* and I didn't slip and refer to her as HSC even once.

    (and no I didn't have to interact with her in the slightest.). She sat with my ex and didn't interact with ANYONE. I'm a huggy-kissy type who interacts with EVERYONE.



    It actually was rather sad. My ex looked horrible. He has put on about 60 lbs and looks haggard and old. ( my ex is 13 years younger than me. I went thru freaking cancer this year and look better than he does).



    I did do a *gigglesnort" when I saw his wife. I think she may have felt a little threatened that I was going to be there. Who in their right mind shows up at an outdoor cookout, in 50 degree weather, wearing a sleeveless top with cutouts all over the place and 4 inch stilleto patent leather pumps with open toes (Cross my heart, I'm not exaggerating)! I really did have to work hard to keep a straight face when she almost broke her ankle when she had to try and walk across the lawn in her stilletos.



    What made me even sadder was seeing my ex's son. (long story short, my ex was abandoned as a child. She made sure to get pregnant right away. My ex would never walk away from his child, and this was her way I think of locking down the gravy train). I've met him a couple times and he is just the sweetest little child. My ex adores him and is wonderful with him, but she never once got up and paid the slightest attention to him.



    All in all, it was sad to see.

    Hi Ladies

    Hope you are having a good day.  Got rack of lamb for dinner and I can smell it cooking even with a blocked snoz.

    Kathrynn - I always believed that about smoking. I never caught anything that others did.  I'm sure it was because I was so bunged up with nicotine nothing could penetrate.

    What you do with the floozie your ex went off with is say "its interesting to meet you" then you introduce her to the Russian Ambassador and load up the gun! (Bernies Post).   

    Sugar77 - hope you soon get rid of the flu.  Take up smoking me and Kathrynn never get flu.

    Heather - my dear old cat does get annoyed with the furry rat. He sits there with two bad tempered lines in his forehead and a frown and his paw waving in mid air ready to strike for ages until he decides its time to put her in her place.  When we hear her screech we know he's hit his target and we all go "serves her bloody right".

    Titan - OMG I would love to have read that previous post where you had a go at someone. I just love it when you are bad!!  I bet it was priceless.

    Yep have to agree about Camilla,  (Horse face). Actually I think her and Charlie both need a bullet cause he's about as useful to the royal family as a two bob watch (about 20 cents, no bloody use at all).  After all the lazy bastard can't even put an inch of toothpaste on his own toothbrush in the mornings. How pathetic is that and his staff have to put a thermometer in the bath in case he burns his penis, well I ask yer. I do like old Queenie and William and Kate providing they leave her alone and she doesn't get treated like Diana.   

    NavyMom - ok spills the beans who is this lovely piece of feminine beauty that you can't stand. Don't leave us in suspense,  we want the whole sordid story.    

    Ok I'm off to eat my rack of lamb, yummy.  Have a great evening ladies. Annie

    Kathryn:

    So sorry you had to even endure being in the same place as she was, but you sure handled it well, and all to your credit.  Always remember, karma is a bitch - and I certainly wouldn't want to have hers!

    Sending my best to all you wonderful ladies,

    Titan, please, I couldn't run a 10 min mile if my ass was on fire.  I did complete the 5k but in a whopping 49 min.  I'm trying to get back in shape and it's been a long long time since I was.  I did do an additional 15 min on the eliptical afterwards and 30 min of beginner yoga beforehand.  Did a new move yesterday and I'm so sore today.

    Kathrynn, had it been other circumstances I might have felt bad for her but Karma is a b*tch.

    Start work tomorrow so today is going to be a nice lazy day, get some housework done, figure out what I'm going to wear tomorrow and maybe give myself a little pedicure.

    Happy Sunday Ladies.

    Titan - just an FYI. She is just the Queen, not the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother would be the Queen's mother, and she died a while back.

    C-S, I actually feel a bit sorry for Charles - spending most of his life waiting to become King. He should have married Camilla in his young days as they were always attracted to each other. Then perhaps he wouldn't have ended up with a twit like Diana who lacked any skills and intelligence to be useful.

    Titan - I don't think Jenn has been posting anywhere. I am a FB friend and there is nothing there. We'll keep hoping for the best and thinking of her.

    Cocker yum, lamb is my favorite! I think you may be right, I've never had the flu or a flu shot. I keep laughing about your cat. It used to be the opposite in my house. The cat terrorized a 60 lb Shepard. We had to lock up the cat whenever we went out for the dog's safety. If Titan went after someone, I know they bloody well deserved it! Navmom, I vote for those beans too.



    Bernie, thanks for the curse, but I think he's already involved in the African Ambassador's game!



    LRM , I don't know, I've lost a lot of faith in the power of Karma, after meeting all the lovely ladies on here.



    Mccrimmon - pat yourself on the back for a job well done and enjoy your day off.



    Gilly - I must really have brain rot, I don't remember the Queen Mother's death.



    Last word on my ex, and only to show that this freaking disease has taught me some life lessons. My ex was the last man that ANYBODY thought would cheat. In fact he had no need to. Because he was young when we married, I told him right from the start, if he ever met someone, and felt he might have made a mistake marrying so young, just tell me and we would go our own ways amicably. So this tells me that he must have fallen in love. What makes me sad is I know from their co-workers, exactly what she is. After I divorced I joined a social club, which one of my ex's bosses ran, and all of his co-worker's hung out at. (I asked his boss not to spill the beans, and no one made the connection, because I always kept my maiden name). It was 3 years before the secret got out at a function. When I came in the next time, about 10 of his former co-workers (he was gently pushed out of his job, they can't get rid of her because she's civil service) stood up and applauded. The men came up to tell me that when it had all gone down, they had been told that he "had a really nice wife, but now that they knew me personally, they knew exactly HOW nice a wife he had" (yup, I cried) They told me they couldn't believe he married the "company skank". Trust me, she wouldn't have interested if she hadn't seen dollar signs.

    What I came to learn over these last few years is that if you have truly loved someone, when you get past the pain, you will want them to have happiness. My ex and I have spoken only a couple times over the years, the first being when he found out I had CA, and he called to say he'd help if he could( see he's really not a bad sod, took a lot of courage to call a woman who refused to talk to him). I know he's not happy, and it saddens my heart. I truly wish that for him and his child. (her not so much, lol)

    gillyone... couldn't agree more about Charles and Camilla.  I always said that had Diana been born in an inner city council/welfare flat/apt.... she'd have been a first class slapper... that is only my humble opinion Wink  All that being said, the Brits sure do the pomp and circumstance better than any other country - I think.

    Kathyrnn... You have risen above all the crap and shone as a true lady.   Karma is a bitch and its has come back to bite your ex and skanky wife in the arse...that being said, you did portray it is quite sad.

    mccrimmon... have a good first day back at work... let us know how it goes.

    Annie.. the rack of lamb sounds delish - was it?

    Enjoy your days/evenings ladies.

    Gillyone and Tazzy - think you might have given the name 'slapper' to the wrong person. That applies to Camilla more than Diana (think about it)  and do tell me what 'skills and intelligence' you feel Camilla has that Diana lacked, I can only think of one and its too rude to put on here.  Annie

    Sugar - I agree.   I think that charity work that Diana started and left as a legacy cannot be denied.   I just had an issue with her conduct and felt she demeaned what the Royals stood for.    

    But it is just our 'opinions'... thank goodness for democracy Smile

    Oh and anyone watching this morning... that rain - although didn't dampen the party spirit, last weekend the UK were basking in 80 degree heat ?!

    Wow...I like this discussion on the Queen and Diana and Charles and Camilla...we Yanks just see what we see in the tabloids...thanks for the correction on the Queen Gilly...and the tabloids talk about what a bitch Camilla is...and well..Charles..he isn't much of a hunk now is he...Diana was so pretty....and young.....but beauty is superficial and I guess we really don't know what happened behind closed doors...I was thinking of how hard it would be to live a public life like that....it has to be so hard to never have any privacy....and always to have to be perfect......

    I have a ex co-worker who smoked and was never sick..she quit and got pneumonia and had colds all the time...weird..

    Got go check out Jenn's post...I can't stop thinking about her....

    Gillyone - I for one wouldn't dream of stopping you from having an opinion, as you have done. However, I guess it doen't really affect you in that you have been living in the States for 25 years whereas I hope he is never crowned King of New Zealand in my lifetime.  We would much rather have William as King, a far better choice in my opinion.  End of subject for me.

    I couldn't think of anything worse than living your life in the public eye - every move scrutinized, everymove criticized....not for all the tea in China thank you very much.  

    And Cocker.. I agree - Prince William crowned as King every time.  

    I was the same when I smoked too... never got the flu, never had a cough... since I quit, had bronchits, the flu...makes you wonder if that nicotine bungs everything up eh?

    Good Evening Ladies.

    Well not so tired today thank goodness.  Had a vey productive day.  Finished off all my windows, cleaned the fridge and freezer, polished everywere and let me tell you Titan that one day of holiday just went so quick.   

    Tazzy - a lot of people say that about smoking, when they give up they get lots of things wrong. Doesn't make sense does it.  You would think it was the other way around.  Oh well, better carry on then don't want to get ill or ill'er.

    Heather - good luck with starting your new job tomorrow. Any news on your hubby and babies joining you yet? Does he have to get a job there and is it hard for him to get one.

    Nothing from OBXK today she must be out enjoying herself and nothing still from Inmate.  I do hope she is ok and is still kicking this cancer to the kerb.

    My 5th taxol coming up Wednesday, still seven to go though.  This lot doesn't seem to go down as quick as the big guns. Seems to be getting a bit accumulative now with the tiredness but thankfully nothing else so far. 

    Have a good day ladies if you haven't already started it.  Back to typing tomorrow for me.  Big hugs and lots of love. Annie

    Morning Ladies,

    I agree with Titan, very interesting to hear about the Royal family.  The tabloids always made Diana look like a saint and Camilla look like a home wrecker. 

    Off to work today, not quite nervous, I'm sure I will be when I get in my car.

    Hubby and boys will come up when insurance kicks in.  Around Sept 1, hubby is terrified of going on cobra and not being able to get off of it.  Onc once mentioned that and that all he'll focus on now. 

    Yes, CS he will need to look for work and he's a baker so I don't think it's going to be as easy for him as it was for me.  Good luck with your taxol on Wednesday. 

    Have a great day everyone.

    I was on cobra the beginning of my treatment and switched to my current insurance the week before I started chemo, there were a few bumps in the road, but everything worked out fine.  My key was no break in coverage.

    Hope everyone has a great day with minimal SE!

    Hello  gillyone,

    Thank you for correcting some of the errors about the 'Royal' family.

    I just wanted to say that I was most interested in some of the comments.

    I am not a fan of the royals, but was fond of Diana. She was a sacrificial lamb led to the slaughter for the sake of an heir and a spare.

    It is about time this country had an elected head of state and became a true democracy.

    Be happy with your elected president.

    Best Wishes.

    Sylvia.

    It's interesting all the different views on the Royal Family. As a former colony -- and the Queen still our actual Head of State (hard to believe that in this day and age!) -- we in Canada have a unique perspective, but opinions are still all over the map. I agree with you Sylvia completely... I think Diana was used. I always admired how she raised (and protected) her sons. Frankly, some of the leaked Charles-Camilla conversations did far more to demean the Royals than anything Diana did. JMHO. I know my mother is a big Queen fan, and she doesn't have a civil word to say about Diana!  Personally I loved the Queen Mum -- so spirited -- you get a young, fictionalized view of her in the King's Speech, a great film. 

    Have a nice start to the week, everyone.
