    SlowDeepBreaths,  I'm thinking that this might be the magic bus Ducky got.   Slightly used.  She must've gotten a good deal.  Ducky I'm a cheesehead (WI).

    Good Morning Goddesses,

    Hope everyone is having a good morning so far.

    ducky, you're doing a great job organizing and that Mickey D sandwich sounds gross. I like the sausage mcmuffin with egg, but don't eat them too often because they are so bad for you. 

    gardengumby, Yes, I will send you a PM when we make a trip! I don't drink coffee but I'd love to have a hot chocolate :)

    4, hope you're feeling a bit better today - I got something for you.

    First time on this thread. I'll drive the bus and I live near Charlotte, N.C, and I sincerely hope that's not a picture of the bus Im supposed to drive around the world.

    Thanks 4 for the welcome. I gather the bus is full, but I can help with planning and have the cheerleaders ready with the band when you ladies finally leave. 

    Hi to Slow, Ducky, LilyLuv and GardenGumby who I have seen on other threads. And hi Aly!!!!!!! How are you today?

    I like the ambiance here, it's fun, but not over the top. Sometimes that's fun too, but I need to slow down a bit now that I'm no longer scared. Your group seems very nice.

    Hi Red, Great to see you. Wonderful group of women here. Come have a seat by the fire! You can throw in anything that annoys you. It really does come in handy.

    OK, I am not tossing my PS in, I still need him!  However, I do want to hold his ass over the fire for a while until he gets the message!!

    Yesterday I was in the dumps and could not get my PS to commit to anything past putting a damn drain in Friday and fixing what used to be a very nice scar line that is awful now. They say be patient. Screw patient, I want a plan. Then I can be patient waiting to get that plan implemented.  "the plan is going to have to be not to have a plan" says one of the girls.  UH, no way in hell is that gonna fly!  I don't like to hear he is "considering" to do something. I love him and I appreciate the attention to detail and being ultra careful, but I need at least a toe outside of that box darn it! It was a month ago today my incision popped. Still collecting fluid and headed for a drain on Friday with no idea how long it will stay in. I think it is lymph fluid collecting because my arm is no longer swollen! If that's the case will it ever stop??

    OK, rant over! So today I called and made consults with 3 other PS. I will either find someone to do the fat grafting and TE or get a good reason why! Maybe knowing I am doc shopping or that the other docs are comfortable doing what I am asking will spur my PS along!!  Someone is gonna fix this clusterf#@k SOON!!

    Whew, Ok I feel better!  

    I will get to work on an schedule to collect everyone.  When I figure out who is fixing me I am going to hog tie and gag them  They are along for the ride to keep all of us in perky condition.  I can't be magic busing around the world performing in our version of Cirque with one nice and one shriveled boob, now can I?  Of course not.  That won't make us any money. And I will flash anyone! Especially for $$  Hell lately all I do is pay people to look at them, about time someone paid me!  Now when I see someone and they know about the BC and I catch them staring I just lift my shirt.  When they look at me funny, I say "what, that's what you wanted to know. right??"  Heaven help me if I ever get pulled over for no seatbelt!!!

    OH, Forgot to mention...................

    I Locked the DAMN BASEMENT months ago!  I'm not giveing up the key so don't even think about it.  Get your asses off the stairs and back up here with the rest of us.  The Attic is available for short term use only.  At least there the sun shines through.  Windows are locked and have bars though, so don't even think about that either.  The only thing that basement is being used for is the mushrooms the cure guy grows and Willie Nelson rents a corner and has some grow lights down there.

    I think we should turn the basement into a 70's disco. Wouldn't that be fun????

    4, you tell em! Don't let anyone push you around! Goooooo girl!!!!!!!

    We could put an actual Dungeon down there and anyone that ventures down will learn their lesson and never return there again!!

    4 I can so relate!!! I'll hold the back of your shirt while you roast his bum a little. Wouldn't want you in the fire. Besides, although it is a bit mean, I'd kinda like to see one of those docs to find out what Rads feel like. I'm almost done, then they cut me loose and I swim or sink. 

    I'll stick with being a cheerleader for now. I'm not done yet, so I'm not moving on yet. But I sure would like to sit by the fire, throw in a couple things I don't need, and chat with you ladies.

    Throw in whatever you like!!! The higher the flames, the faster doc will get my message!!!

    Red, you are going to swim!!!  Do you have any implants or expanders??  I asked if they were FAA approved flotation devices?  I didn't get an answer so I am going with yes!  So with them you float face up whenever you need to rest.  I however roll to one side right now, but that's temporary!!!

    I am in TN, live in rural area, can meet the bus in any of the major metro areas. BTW, Lily, I think that first bus was the one that hit me today during chemo!!!! I am going to find the best aggressive attorneys advertising on TV who are willing to go after any bus driver that was driving ... maybe it was a Mac truck ... I don't remember seeing any little bulldog on the hood ... in any case, this body better feel better tomorrow or I'm gonna get those attorneys to find somebody to pay me big bucks so we can all party hearty on our trip!

    I lived near Pittsburgh PA for about 10 years, then to Rochester, NY for 10 years, now in the south. Very different culture here, hate the winters - they are boring grey cold - but there is little snow to scoop, but there is also no snow to play in. We loved being able to put on the snowshoes or skis right at the back door and go out for an hour or two of fresh air. And summers here are brutal, hot, humid. But taxes are lower than PA or NY!!!! Winking

    I'm in GA, I'm bringing the margaritas, I can read a map and help with navigation, but one of those eye candy dudes can drive.  None of us needs the aggravation of being the designated driver when there will be so much fun happening in the back of the bus!!!  Even if we're not drinking, let's let someone else watch the road.  As long as he will follow directions.  Hmmmmm a man like that might be harder to find than the cure guy.... might need to keep some of FK's spike heels ready to use for "course correction".

    I have a crop I can bring to keep the chauffeur in line!  Guess I'm picking you up first Hollander. Then we Can hit anyone in FL and then will head to SC for Mary then TN for Linda then up to PA way. Better get some of those foam ear plugs before we pick up that gang!  After we collect on the east coast Then we will head over and grab Aly then continue around and hit the west coast girls.

    Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?
