    voraciousreader - Obviously she does not know what Munchausen't by Proxy is.  You are not the one making everyone else sick just to get attention.  Sounds like she is a total air head.

    I tossed someone in on Thursday night and actually told her (in real life) that I did not want to go hear music, eat supper or catch up...that I was appreciated the friendship we had had and good luck to her....but I didn't get on to tell you folks....

    This is the 'friend' I spoke of here earlier in the thread who suddenly has decided that we should go and do something and catch up after having dropped out of my hemisphere just when I was starting radiation....I don't want to catch up. While I was going through breast cancer, she was stressing about her dad moving in with her brother and he fact that she would have to travel further to visit him. I know it is stressful for her...but be grateful your brother has made a grampy apartment for your dad in his home and that he will be cared for! ...so, in with her whining....I am done.

    Good for you Sandee!!! I was wondering how you got out of that invite...

    Thanks Barbe.....feel like I grew a backbone....now I have to learn how to not feel guilty about having potentilly hurt her feelings. I was polite and did not explain myself...just said 'no thank you and don't ask me any more please'...clearly an area that I still have not mastered at 48! A process, right?

    Sandee - I would not feel guilty about hurting her feelings.  Seems she did not give yours a second thought until recently and then I'm not sure she is being sincere.

    True enough....i guess it is the lack of sinceriy that I was concerned about...it is such an up and down thing and to be honest, i am not myself with her...I feel all edgy and nervous and 'badgered' ...something ..can't explain it really..but it is done and I am hoping hat it is a done deal. I need to exrtact toxic people form my world.

    just read that cancer survivors should eat 10 almonds a day...so used 40 calories worth of almond milk instead in my cereal...every little bit helps, hmm?

    Sandee -  Toss that wall thing in too.  The fire could always use some more fuel.  Then go buy yourself something you will really enjoy.

    Fair enough..so simple, hmm? What I would say to someone else...why is it so hard to say it to ourselves (and boy...can you ever tell the sleeping pill had kicked in with the last text... I teach grammar, spelling and language for a living...honestly!) eeeh.

    Omaz - Can I throw in my neuropathy my MO says I don't have from Tamoxifen but gave me Lyrica for it.  Voraciousreader threw enough lighter fluid on for both.

    Somehow, some way my rad onc keeps getting out of the fire.  Saw him the other day for a cough I got a month after finishing rads.  He said it couldn't be from rads but wants me to see a lung specialist in the event it is radiation pneumonitis.  What is up with that?  He does know or can't figure it out on his own.  He is such a moron.  In he goes again and hope he stays put this time.

    This thread is hilarious! Glad I found it. Provides some much needed levity.

    I would like to throw my surgical compression bras on the fire. Lived in them 24/7 for 5 weeks and I am OVA IT!

    Sandee - I don't know - I'll have to think about that one.

     Rennasus - Welcome to the group.  This is the place to get rid of any and all BC crap.  It does feel good to throw things in.  I just have to figure out how to keep some of the stuff from getting out.

    You want a hilarious thread - take a look at the Bottle O' Tamoxifen thread even if you are not taking Tammy.  It moves quickly and we call it the tammy train.

    Omg...barbe!!! Imagine if we stuck some Crazy Glue to your sister's butt? For sure things would stay put!



    I haven't got anything to throw on the fire lately. But my shoulder's still bothering me. So I guess after I finishing tending the garden, I'll head down to the bonfire and let those embers work their magic.

    voraciousreader - How about we use the Super Glue to glue the butts of barbe's sister and my rad onc together that way they will both stay in the fire.
