    Karen, so sorry to hear about your cousin. Debbie, so sorry to hear about your uncle.  May God bless you and your families.  Sending hugs and prayers for both of you.

    I hope everyone is doing well.  Went to visit my nephew and his family fo rthe weekend.  My great nephew turned 3 and he is a big bruiser.  He will be a big kid. I had a great time with the kids and happy to see them.

    Well, I am finally looking for work.  Made it to the second stage with one company. Not sure I want to go back to work at this time, but the position is perfect.

    Have a nice weekend.

    Hugs and prayers, Cheryl

    Karen so sorry to hear of your cousins passing. Debbie sorry to hear pf you uncle. Please let us know if either of you need any help or mist a shoulder or ear.



    Good luck with the interview process Cheryl. I think the interview process is the most challenging time.



    Just returned from a very productive business trip. Also had a chance to browse around coldwater creek store. Good thing I didn't have room in my suitcase or id be broke. Lol



    Going to bed early tonight as the plane ride was a short trip but seemed very long with weather related rerouting and turbulence. You all know how I feel about flying.



    Love

    Maureen

    Me again, DGS is out of his cast in a huge knee brace, but feeling so much better, he wanted to celebrate with ---- you guesed it, brownies.  He will have to be cleared by a PT and his orthopaedist to play contact sports and will need to wear braces on both knees, why can't he like golf.

    Hi Ladies,

    Just catching up with what's been going on. We were away visiting sis in law and family in Cape Cod. Had a wonderful time but it's always good to come home....I'm such a home body.



    Karen, glad DGS is on the mend, but sorry to hear about your cousin. Linda, glad things are working out for your son. DDs wedding is next Sept 2014, but the planning has begun.

    Cheryl, good luck with job search, I'm sure you'll find the perfect position for you.

    Debbie, sorry to hear about your uncle....hope your family is doing well.

    Maureen, was DDs truck broken into in your driveway? That stinks! Not safe anywhere.

    Betty, how is work? Spending time at cottage? Susan, enjoying the summer with your son? School will start before you know it. Bevin, how is everything there? How is your mom?



    Missing all of you....hope to see all soon. Love, Jan

    Just letting you know my life has been turned upside down in the last week.  I am now living @ my Mom's for awhile until I can figure out what the hell to do.  My boyfriend of 11 yrs, living together for 7 of those yrs. told me that around the same time I was diagnosed w/ breast cancer, he started a "personal" relationship w/ a client.  He said that they are more than "friends" & he wants to see where it will lead.  He said our living arrangement would no longer work & that I had to move out!  He lied to me, betrayed me, cheated on me, while I was dealing w/ cancer & he hopes we can remain friends!  I am so overwhelmed & confused; I never thought that I would be a homeless person.

    WTH is the first thing that comes to mind. Jerk loser a$$ho1e are a few more. In the end he'll get his. You concentrate on staying healthy cancer free and looking forward. I'm sorry you need to go through this but you are strong and I know you will come out on the other side in a much better place Linda. You have all of us and a roof over your head. It might not be what you want however right now it is what you need. Friends?? As Larry the cable guy says. .... that's funny right there....

    Hugs n kisses linda

    Dear Linda, what a horrid thing to have happen, he obviously does not deserve you.  Only a vile man would stoop to such behavior at any time in a relationship, let alone when you are at your most vulnerable.  Thank God for family and friends, we are here for you.  Sending you gentle hugs and waves of calmness and strength, Karen  Feel free to PM, I check it each morning and last thing at night.

    What an ass.... So sorry that you have to endure this shit. He is not worthy of your love and companionship. You deserve better than that asshole. Karma will catch up with him. Focus on your recovery and health. Sending you hugs and comfort...

    Dear Linda, I am so so sorry you need to deal with this. I'm sure right now you are feeling hurt and betrayed and I can guarantee that with time, you will feel anger and then be able to pick up and move on. You will be better without him. He does not deserve you. And no matter what, when he comes calling in the future, don't turn around. Believe me, they all come back and when he tries you'll have moved on and be over him. Its got to be hard to feel that way now, but i strength  will come. We're all here for you and thank god for family and friends.

    Hugs

    Bevin

    Thank you all for your concerns, understanding, prayers & hugs.  Yes, I do feel hurt, betrayed & even angry but still trying to wrap my head around how he could be so deceiving, especially @ a time when I needed him!  I guess he just couldn't handle me having cancer or he just didn't give a shit.  Like you all said, he doesn't deserve me!  I have to keep telling myself that!  I don't know how he could think we could remain friends!  

    After the death of my husband, I thought my life was over but somehow I survived & raised 2 children by myself.  Now at my age, I find myself facing another life crisis.  I know I will survive this but I just don't know where to start, where to begin.  I have struggled financially my whole adult life & now this will only make life harder & more complicated for me.  I know life isn't fair & there are no guarantees for any of us.  Unfortunately, life waits for no one. 

    Thanks for listening,

    Linda

    Hugs to you Linda. Feel free to vent here anytime. You sound like such a strong woman. Raising two children and a death of your spouse is so much to handle add cancer and a jerk and anyone would struggle. Prayers to you dear friend.

    Hi ladies. Well, My surgery is at 8:15 tomorrow at Highland Hospital. It should take 3 hours or so for both the BS and PS to do their thing. I am scheduled to stay 1 night. I sure don't want to be there any longer than that. Maybe I'll have a backup plan to bust out of there like a ninja if they want to keep me. LOL

    I'll post when I am coherant late tomorrow night or friday!

    Have a great day!

    Dear Debbie, you will be in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery, and I do believe if they attempt to keep you more than 1 night , we will be reading in the Rochester paper about a ninja breakout.  If you wear jeans with pockets, we will all jump in and will try not to be too rowdy.  hugs, Karen   Linda, you are in my thoughts and prayers also, this will all work out, it will be hard but it will work out.  {{{{{Linda}}}}}

You are strong...strong enough to get through radiation. Do not let him get you down.  Hope everyone else is enjoying the summer, and looking forward to our next luncheon!!  We have just been busy and lazy, that s all :P.  no excuses here. :)

    Debbie, good luck and we are in your pocket.  Okay girls let's keep it down, the surgeons are looking at us strangely. LOL Linda, hope you are doing better, let me know if you need anything.

    Susan mentioned our next lunch.  I beleive 8/17 was brought up as the next date.  Will that date work or should we postpone until Debbie is aable to make it?  

    I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

    Maureen, thanks for your prayers.  I'm going to need all I can get!

    Debbie, hope your surgery went well & you are home, resting comfortably.

    Karen,  I hope you are right about things working out.  Right now, it seems so impossible & overwhelming!

    Susan, I really don't know why he waited until the end of July to inform me of his deception.  I've been going over that in my mind constantly these last few days & I have to wonder why he didn't "come clean" sooner. 

    Jan, No, he doesn't deserve me & I hope I can find the strength & courage to figure this out.

    Cheryl,  No, I'm really not doing any better; this has been a nightmare.  I have to find the physical strength to do all the packing, figure out where to store all of my belongings & then figure out where I'm going to live.  Financially, I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. 

    Thanks again for listening,

    Linda

    Well, every time I strip the tubing for the drain i get some pretty bad nerve pain. It lasts about 20 minutes. I am relatively comfortable other than that. I am going to call on Monday morning and ask if this is normal. I don't remember that happening the last time. So, now I just sit and recover. Thanks for thinking of me!

    Dear Debbie, hope you are not feeling nerve pain today, good idea to call tomorrow, Linda, calming thoughts coming your way, think of you often, OK ladies, are we going to watch the Bills this year, they are on now in a pre-season game, or are we giving it up for next year's Lent?   17th or 31st are both OK with me. hugs to all Karen

    Hahaha Karen I will keep u posted whether I watch the bills.

    Deb good idea to give doc a call. Drain is probably sitting on a nerve.

    Linda think of you often. Take the day from worry and enjoy the sunshine.

    Hi to all. Shall we wait till the 31st so deb can come? I think I can make either
