    Badger reminded me of underwear..as in bras. Lots of them that have fit at various stages of reconstruction. I have some barely touched post surgery "compression" bras that can burn. They take up way too much space in my drawers.

    If I throw in my Biotene Mouthwash from chemo...will it explode?

    I also have a taupe colored electric blanket I used during chemo. Its the color of vomit. Every time I see it I get nauseous...but I havent been able to throw it out, because technically nothing is wrong with it. So, here it comes ladies!! Back up...between the Biotene and the electrical cord on the blanket there is bound to be some fireworks!!!

    geewhiz - Watching the Biotene Mouthwash explode could be fun but watch out - be sure you don't throw it in when vorociousreader and I are close - we are warming ourselves.  No singed eyebrows for us - Thank you.

    Ahhhh!  Jo1955 -- So you're a Longhorn! Now, I know you must be terrific at making fires!  Gotta love Texas, at the very least for their barbeques!   I know how cold it is there now. My youngest son is finishing up studying Aerospace AND Nuclear Engineering at UT.  I called him this morning as he was getting ready for class -- but he had no electricity due to the rolling blackouts.  Hang in there -- there's plenty of rope!

    voraciousreader - Texas does have the best barbeque going - of course, I am biased - I live here.  So far we still have power but have to see what happens the next 2 days.  We have not had the rolling blackouts yet - hope the power grid holds up and we don't have to do those.  It is 36 degrees here right now - brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

    But just wait, this is Texas, if you don't like the weather today - hang around - it will change tomorrow.  LOL

    3jaysmom...yes indeed. I have heard that term too and that is exactly right...emotional vampires...we do NOT need them..toss 'em in!! I only have the one and have decided not to renew that friendship, such that it was....yay strong decisions! Let's not toss those in!

     Think I am going to toss in the pain I have in my ribs ....I want to wear my lacy under-wire bras...finally got fit for a good bra when I was in Dallas at a conference and I want to wear 'em...partial cup-filled or not! ...I would like to throw in the sports bras though!

    I would like to toss some snow in too while I am at it actually....but I don't want to mess with the flame Jo has going:) Weehaa!!!! Where are the marshmallows ladies?!?!?!?

    I am ready for the weather to change here in my part of Texas.  We are hearing a low of 10 tonight and a high of 25 tomorrow.  THIS IS TEXAS DARNIT, we ain't supposed to get this cold for more than 1 or 2 days a year, already up to 3 and looking like all the way through the "big game day".  I am throwing in our weather, the "big game" newscasters, and my doctors at work who don't understand that their non-emergency scans can wait, because I have to go meet with my surgeon.

    Also, throwing in the people who thought up rollong blackouts, they said hospitals would not be affected, THEY LIED!

    Sheila - I know that - I was talking about how yummy it looks.

    beccad - We aren't supposed to get that cold at all.  Just listened to the local forecast for tomorrow and they are talking about a little snow here - that is soooo wrong.  Unheard of in my area.

    Jo1955, That is really wrong for S.Texas.  I know we get some cold days here in the DFW area, but this below freezing for 4-7 day in a row really sucks.  I don't live here for the cold weather. I prefer warm.

    I LOVE this thread.  I saw someone yesterday for the first time since being diagnosed.  I want to throw in the look of PITY she gave me.  I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it took my breath away.  No pity please!!!

    Sheila - We will hire a housekeeper - labor is cheap down there.  We will too busy looking at the cabana boys and drinking margaritas.
