    I'm in GrannyD! Here's tossing in bills and the phone ringing every twenty minutes when I already told you what I could do. take a hint I am not answering again! All our med bills should disappear first of the year with the wonderful new health care plan though, right? Of course so will a lot of options and good doctors, but WTH...


    Beautiful night here too. Storm passed and weather is great. Perfect night for a bonfire!

    I'm stoking the flames for the weekend...


    Into the fire with my mother who didn't even call her oldest grandson for his 16th birthday yesterday. Only excuse she has is she is a spiteful, hateful, selfish bitch that likes to play games. Everything has to be about her, even my cancer. "what we have gone through with our daughter." my ass! Hasn't even been to town since I got diagnosed. Only contributions have been to tell me I wasn't doing anything right, to have my dad corner my husband and tell him reconstruction shouldn't matter, so what is I am scarred or disfigured, and to tell me my cold caps wouldn't work. Oh and "we are here for you for whatever you need, but you have to ask". So I ask can you watch my dog when I have my surgery.... "NO"


    Dad can roast along side of her for not having the balls to stand up and do the right thing! They are missing out on some really awesome grand kids trying to prove who knows what. What they don't realize is their grand kids are smart and gave up caring long ago.


    Thanks ladies, I feel slightly better now Happy

     Meeting now by the Sweet Fire to remember our Veggy. Her humor and wit will not be forgotten. Let's raise our glasses to her and bid a fond fare the well. May you find that which was missing Veggy and be at peace.

    We had sooooo much fun on OMG. She was Costello I was Abbott. Abbott was the straight man. Costello was the funny guy. Abbott would give Costello a lead line--the cue. Costello would come in with the funny. On Omg when we came together in the earlier days of OMG, Give Veggy a line. She'd always came up with the funniest visual material. ROTFLOL and pee your pants. Our last PM together her words were on Oct 29th 2013.

    "My life revolves around Abbott & Costello's "Who's on First". Love George Burns and Gracie. There's a lot of old stuff I love".

    I am in shock, too. I hadn't checked here for a while, but even when Veggy was having so many problems, she could find the humor out there. Am so sorry to lose yet another BCO sister. RIP, Veggy, you will be missed, you have been loved by many, you have touched so many of us. Tears for a woman I never met in person. May her family find comfort and healing.


    Tossing all the suffering that breast cancer causes for patients and their families onto this huge bonfire. Let's hold hands around the fire tonight and honor Veggy.

    Goddesses, is the fire still smoldering? 
    It is cold tonight and I thought of all of you and getting warm by the fire.

    Joan, thanks for bumping this! Yes, it seems at least half the country needs to keep those fires burning just to keep warm! And I have a few things to toss in today: a medical system that makes you wait for over a week for a procedure that can make you more comfortable because the order comes from a doctor's office, but if you judge yourself very sick, you can go to the ER to wait for hours to be seen by a doc who doesn't know you, be exposed to tons of germs, and get that procedure done sooner, kind of like "butting in line" in some ways, but in some cases the squeaky wheel is what gets the grease. I am sitting with fluid in my lungs and belly for the past couple of weeks, lots of nausea and pain and shortness of breath with it, but have to wait until Tuesday to get the fluid drained because they don't have any more "appointments" available but they could work me in if I go to the ER and waste more medical resources on extra visit, labs, etc. This is the type of waste in medical care that MAKES ME CRAZY!!!!!! Devil

    Now that little tantrum is over, let's have some hot cocoa and maybe toss a few snowballs and have a group hug. Happy New Year to all of you Goddesses!!

    Linda - It is crazy isn't it?  You are so right.  Why should you have to sit for hours in a germ filled ER waiting room just to be seen by a doctor that knows nothing about you.  On the other hand, you gotta do what you gotta do.  You shouldn't have to live with pain and other issues.  Hugs
