4, I am so glad you are jumping in and getting the ball rolling! April 1 is the PERFECT departure date, and I am SO GLAD Scotty will just beam us all up together at the same time - makes good sense, that way no one misses any of the entertainment.
Now, as far as dancing. I was just learning to tap dance, and wonder if it is possible to get an instructor on the bus so we could learn Irish dancing. I just love the noise and rhythm whether it is to jazz or Celtic jigs etc. Or maybe we could just honor St. Patrick's day and dance today!
I want to add Tuscany and Provence and Oslo to the trip, but if we can only add one, then it will be Oslo (I am sure the ladies who like the cooler weather will be happy with that choice). So it is up to you, 4, to see what you can do with our itinerary. Good luck!!!!

OMG! Soooo many of my favorite wimmin here. and you added me to the trip list... omg, i think i had better add this to my favorite topic. if you look at the veggy thread, you will see what this day means to me. and into the fire with my tx center, who, somehow hired a company that did the billing for my insurance. they did not encrypt the info, and the computer it was on, was stolen. so now my protected health info, SS#, birthdate, ALL MY stuff, could possibly be out there, for sale... i am so angry. so into the fire with them! esp, cause it took them a month and a half, to let us know. hi fk, hi ducky, aly, slow, 4sew, linda, and all the rest of you, am looking forward to throwing things into our lovley bonfire with! ok, back to page 176.... love you gals

Hi. Is it even possible to think to put a beloved family member into the bonfire? Some days I wonder. I don't actually want harm for these people but gee whiz, will there ever come a time when they are not top of the totem. When someone else's day will matter more than their's?
OK, I know I already said Australia, but I really like the Tuscany idea too. Ummm, help!

Hello everyone. No, I'm not putting my loved ones in the fire, my family is fine. No real troubles. My mom had a flood on Saturday and decided to have her meltdown yesterday. I thought I had her back pretty good til then, but had to drive to her place first thing in the morning to calm her down. It's an hour plus each way and I got back just in time for rads at 3, which were then delayed an hour. Got home to find one of my daughters already there for the birthday dinner. One by one or 4 by 4 they showed up, except the one who was bringing the food. She showed up at 7 with an attitude, by 730 was picking a fight with her brother and telling her kids to 'get dressed, we're leaving'. Had to calm her down.
Just a really busy, kind of normal day in the life. Next year, my DH are going to aim to be on vacation for my birthday. Much less stressful. Lol.

Good Lord Red...........do our kids realize what they do to us...............how do they manage to turn something nice into a bru ha ha............it is horrible...........mine usually starts with the planning........6 kids, and all wait for the other one to do something...........by now at my age I think.......do me a favor.......stay the hell home, and let me sit alone, in my house, and have my pity party because you goons can't get together and decide what to do for my birthday.........have no husband, he died 22 years ago, but guess what.............he probably would have said "if he was alive"..........did you kids decide what your going to do for your Mother's birthday........
I often wonder how one mother can take care of 6 kids for years and years, and still does at times, but 6 kids can't take care of 1 mother.............blows my mind............

hey ducky
When u figure out how one mother can take care of a bunch of kids let me no

I have 5 kids, 11 grands & 2 greats and it seems each and every event seems to go astray unless I'm organizing it. Having said that, my DD's seem to have no problem organizing their own events. I think they think dad is going to do it, but he is hopeless at that stuff. Apparently, this time he sent a broadcast message to all the kids. 'mom's bday, drop in, bring food' lol.

Whoa, Red! Sorry about a bad birthday! glad you came here to vent. Happy belated birthday to you,,here, from me...
Red, i am so glad
that you were born and that you
found us all here, girl!
(bad haiku, not on haiku thread!)
i hope your B.D. wish comes true. ducky and fire, it amazes me that yr kids put you through all that too. my mom had 5 of us, and i guess we probably put her through hell too, not to mention what that must have done to her body! i try to talk to my mom, everyday, and when i visit sacramento, to visit family, i always stay with her, and she keeps me up way too late, visiting!!! i go, mom, your not going to go to sleep, are you, and she laughs, and says, you sound like the mother! she is going to be 80, next january, so i better get on the ball, and get sibs together on planning her a special one!

Red,happy belated birthday! I think your plans for next year are right on target! Run away and enjoy yourself!
Kath, my mom turns 80 this year also, and we did a big open-house for her 75th, but I'm not sure what to this time. Guess it's not too early to start thinking and planning with my sibs though.
I am throwing lots of stuff onto the fire today. Started yesterday morning with the drive in to the cancer center, the usual get stuck twice to get labs & IV, IV was in VERY tender part of my arm and hurt the whole time it was in, took over 2 hours to get the labs back, neutrophil count was too low so no chemo, had the IV taken out, now am using warm packs on it to deal with the continued pain (no bruise visible, worried about clot - that is my paranoid hypochondriac brain worrying there), nurse is supposed to call me this afternoon to re-schedule. Am sick of this roller coaster ride - can't plan ANYTHING! I made nearly 100 trips in to see some health care provider last year (I know this because I just finished doing my taxes and medical expenses), and each of them takes nearly 2 hours for round trip, then add 2-5 hours in the clinic and/or therapy, so I basically lost over 1/4 of last year just to visits. Then I lost another 1/3 to 1/2 to feeling like crap from all the drugs and treatments. I know I should just breathe, focus on the here and now. I can't do that today. I am tired, don't feel well, frustrated, and pain is being managed just borderline adequate because I don't like taking those meds with all those SEs either! I am actually at a loss as to just exactly WHAT it is I am throwing onto the fire today: BC? SEs? Everyone that worked with me yesterday was actually very kind and caring and compassionate, so I really can't toss anyone in, but I am SO FRUSTRATED and a little scared that I don't have many options left right now and this drug may not work or it may kill me in the process .....
April 1 can't come soon enough! Have been checking out some of those "reversible" clothes where the shirt and skirt and jacket have both a plain side and a patterned side, so it all looks very coordinated, and theoretically you pack less that way.

Ducky, thanks so much for the inspiration today! You gave me a smile and helped me regain my "soldier's heart". I have re-scheduled chemo for next week and will enjoy this week by doing more art and cooking than I would otherwise have been able to do!
