I have learned so much at BCO, but never expected to learn that lizards masturbate.

Paraketts do too - found that out when mine starting getting very friendly with a hanging toy - poor thing humped on the thing for hours a day for a month! With all the squalking and flying feathers, I was sure the thing would be bald...I was ready to call him 'chemo bird'.

........when you go to bed and position your daughter's beanie baby animals on your chest so the sheet doesn't touch your mastectomy site. Now you're thankful you didn't use the lizard or parraket ones!

Oh no, not the beanie babies too!!

-------when you see a regular, non cancer, doc and s/he says "well, I would normally just ask you to wait 6 mos. and see , but with your history". So you wind up getting more and more testing. Then the testing shows some strange incidental abnormality and s/he says: "well, I would normally---------

I too thought that is YKYACPW a screen name...
YKYACPW it takes you about one minute to type YKYACPW...it makes me use my chemo brain to much to type that.
YKYACPW you try to get into another mans car when your husband picks you up from work...I was trying to open his door and noticing how dirty my van was. Then the man asked if I would like his keys...look over and my DH is laughing his guts out at me. We laughed all the way home today.
YKYACPW when you can't wait to tell you BCO friends what a chemotard you are.

When you leave the house as a blonde and return as a brunette (and you have the blonde wig in the backseat).
When the girl at the MAC store asks you if she can re-draw your eyebrows for you (obviously I didn't do the greatest job on them today).
Chemotards Unite!!

MAC store? Is it late or do I just not know what this store is?
Micheleboots - when I was a pre-teen I remember one New Year's Eve when my uncle who was a terrible prankster told me he bet I couldn't remember where he parked the car. I took him up on it and found the car and he gracefully accepted my findings and put us all in the car. Then we waited. Next we heard the car next to us starting up and there he was in HIS car pulling away killing himself laughing and there we sat. How one earth I managed to find a car that wasn't locked.... Anyway, I still giggle thinking of that so I guess it happens more than I thought! Thanks for the reminder!

One time many years ago BC my girlfriend and I were shopping. When we came out we BOTH got into a minivan that we thought was hers. She started the van and then we both realized that this was not her van. Who knew that keys can work in more than one van...

YKYACPW someone mentioned a joint and I thought hip.

lowrider- The humping, feather-flying, squeeking, cage rattling masturbating Parakeet has to be in the TV sitcom! OMG LMAO!
kitty- You must keep your neighbors on their toes with all your different wigs! Have you named them?
For whoever asked about MAC stores. MAC is a fantastic cosmetics line available in most department stores. They also have their own stores. I love their spf 15 foundation. You probably were struggling to figure out MAC like I was trying to figure out YKYACPW! Now what could MAC stand for?"Missing Another Clue"?0 -
OMG-I am snorting with laughter. I have never heard anything like the lizard story or parakeet doings' and i had a ton of lizards as a kid. i have tears rolling down my cheeks!! This story is priceless. What great parents you guys are!!! XXOO, SV ps oh man I wonder how many lizards I flushed down the toilet who were just-well.....?
........when you are having a beautiful day outdoors and look up at the waving tree limbs and fall flat on your back bec your balance is gone. But you do get a comfortable 360-degree view of all from the ground!

StillVerticle- Do we need to change your name to "Sometimes Horizontal"? Enjoy the view!0

When you automatically pull out your health card at the cash register at Banana Republic, because you use it more than your VISA!
When someone looks at you with that withering sympathy, and you can honestly say "Hey, I'm great!" because you know at least 5 people who are suffering more than you.
When "negative" and "being eligible for a trial" become positive thoughts!

MAC cosmetics = Makeup Art Cosmetics and is a CANADIAN company. We done good! 0

YKYACP when, "I'm doing great," is always followed up in your mind (although rarely spoken) by thoughts like, "So far" and "If it doesn't come back," as well as "You have no idea what I've been through to be standing here looking healthy and whole."

Isn't that the truth, dlb823!0

YKYACPW your neighbor doesn't recognize you or your new car stopped in front of your nephews house and asks your nephew do I need to call 911.
YKYACPW only you and nobody else could have an allergic reation to your new FOOB. Why me. itch itch itch

You know you're a cancer patient when you run back in the house to grab a Gatorade and leave the refrigerator door open ALL day (happened just today)

YKYACP when you proudly announce to your husband that you just got your prescription EOB and it was $3,500 for October. And, he says, um, do you mean August.... and you curse yourself for using wrong words yet again!!!
Still LMAO Sometimes Horizontal!!

When your young adult children constantly ask you if you need a ride to your doctor appointments.
It sure makes waiting in the waiting room more pleasant.

YKYACP when the funniest commercial you've ever seen is the mom ordering fast food at the drive thru and her son says "Mom, this is the bank". I was laughing so hard I didn't even see what product they were advertising. Then - after I finished laughing I worried that the poor woman had chemo brain.

YKYACPW you teach your customer how to say "Chemotarded" when she uses the phrase chemo fog (probably not expecting me to know what it meant!) ehhehehehe
0 -
YKYACPW- You are talking to the demo lady at Whole Foods about her all-natural Henna hair color and ask if she knows if it can be used during chemo. When another customer says "no one should do chemo or radiation, NONE of the doctors ever do chemo or radiation", you just have to respond and say that it really is a VERY personal decision and NO ONE should be criticizing these very hard decisions that cancer patients are making.....least of all those who have never walked in those mocassins &$#+&*$!

.....I am hooting over the horizental remarks bec good friend who is on the same path as me just took a terrible fall and she says she has signed up for 'defensive walking classes." I need defensive standing and leaning classes!!
.....when you catch your first red drum of the year out of the surf and everyone on the beach ignores the lunatic baldheaded lady running around with a really big fish in her arms while whooping it up. xxoo, SV
