    Well actually its not just computers its cell phones too. I have the same phone I got when I signed up for cell service 4 years ago. My kids laugh at it, and say mom nobody uses those anymore, you cant even text on it! I say, well I dont text anyway. But you cant take pictures with it either..Well thats what a camera is for. I am just electronic-illiterate. I dont have a Kindle either, I still actually read books!and Im even known to go to the library!

    Mary, keep that 2 year old, think of how much $$$$$ he/she can make when they grow up or then agan by fixng your stuff

    yeah, I don't text either but one of these days I think I need to learn..pharmacy wanted my cell number so they could text me when my meds were ready....I told them my phone dosn't do text and they clearly felt very sorry for me.  Seems they do not call only text when the stuff is ready

    GGGGRRRRRR or is that a dif thread?

    OMG we're all alike--I was talking to my sister on the phone and we could not hear each other so we said bad connection let's hang up. When I did hang up I had the phone upside doewn. Oh it's rough with all this new stuff.

    Cami, that gave me a good laugh!

    Newest research shows that cancer patients and their partners have more anxiety than people who haven't had cancer. No s**t Sherlock. How would they feel if they've been mugged once and a stranger is following them down the street?  I can't believe someone got paid for that "research". Oh, and they have more depression, too.

    Oh my gosh that sounds like me and my camera. But that reminds me of my fil, before he died,we made him get a cell phone to keep up with him. He was terrible about setting it down everywhere. He lost it for good one day. couldnt find it anywhere. called it and it never turned up. After he died we were moving things out of his house and geuss where we found his phone? In his freezer.

    Ph mary bless his heart---One time I finally found my keys--in the freezer.

    Wren they actually got a grant to study that? cuz u do get money--can't we think of something to get a grant and just make up the obvious or ask each other--that's all. LOL See I'm all for grants that make sense but not for grants that are plain stupid, it curls my toenails worse than they are--now there's a grant idea--toenails. Or should women shave their heads first or just wait til it falls out--would they feel better.? See we can come up with a bunch. LOL

    I at times get home from work and cannot find my front door key!  since it is on a key chain that also has my car key I know it has to be in the hand bag....by prius has a magic key that starts the car as long as you have the key anywhere close as in the bottom of the hand bag.....I have had to dump the contents of my bag just to find it

    We have something my DH and I say as we go out the door, "Wallet, keys, phone?"  Usually I have to hunt down my keys - He says we should have a gps that finds the keys but I said, "I would probably lose that too"  - Now we have an extra set hanging when I am late for an appt and I can just grab them and run.. and usually forget something else LOL...

    It used to be that I never carried my keys when hubby was driving - because after all we wouldn't need them, he had his, right?  Well, that worked great up until the car key broke - yes BROKE - one day, and though he got the car started it would have been MUCH easier, had I had my set along.  So now, I always have my keys - but I can never find them.  I know they are in my purse somewhere, but until everything else is on the floor or table or something, the keys elude me.

    good morning Veggy love that....

    no matter how many times I tell people that I am oh chemo forever or until it stops working, they keep asking how many more I have....these are friends and it feels like they don't listen to when I talk....so frustrating...

    I have been trying to organize my non-medical life in a way that reduces my stress.  Like when possible, I will hire someone to do stuff, when I can afford it of course

    yesterday, I moved a bunch of retirement funds to a managed account as I really felt I needed help with the dang management,  Of course my pal (who is  CFP and a lawyer and a really good pal, thinks I am wasting money and can do it on my own with a few suggestions from her

    for me, that is more stress and I do not need it!  hoping next time we talk, I can convince her that the few hundred dollars will be worth it to me.  I can not change the results of my mamos so I need to be able to focus on that stress, I am not nuts am I?

    I did the same thing about 6 months ago, only mine were in stocks and the way the market goes up and down I didnt trust it. Wish I had waited till now to sell them, as the market is phenomenal (sp) right now, but it could easily go the other way. So Im happy to have what I have.

    got a mamo next week, a screening job on both boobies and I can not "outsource" that little goodie so need someone to take care of other stuff and mano, do I not want to have to watch the stock market!

    If I am going to run out of money, well so be it at least I get to blame someone else!

    gees, get me to the next mamo, let it be good, let me get my nasty jersey diner breakfast afterwards to celebrate...I am simple!

    I just popped in to say goodnigh from this part of the world and have no idea what is going on or what the previous post is about.

    Anyway I wish to say goodnight

    And remember we still haven't found a cure for stupid.

    Oh Alyson I know--I'm proof of that. hahaha

    Good Morning--I have nothing stupid to say, oh wait I do.

    Wurm I'm sorry u saw all that, that was not the normal sometimes people just have bad times and take it out on some that really can't do anything. We're still going as a group and having fun too and we talk about our hurts too--please don't judge by some things that happened we are a wonderful group of ladies that found some lighthearted thing to get our minds off of what is really happening or happened to us. And sometimes people get very sensitive and we miss that somehow and just continued. Please don't judge us by the recent happenings we are a caring group and really like each other. So I hope u give us a try and if not I do truly understand.

    For the record...........There is nothing "heroic" about finding out you have the Brac genes, and haveing elective surgery to have your breasts removed..............................

    I said this before, and I have not changed my mind...........go on Stage 1V, some staring death in the face. go on the threads of women who have had Chemo....barely able to function....young girls with babies not knowing they carry the gene because maybe, just maybe they could not afford the $4,000 for the test........all insurance does not pay for it............Rads, where they burn so bad they can't wear a shirt..............Femara, Arimidex, shall I continue....yes think  will........losing your hair, joint pain so bad you can't get out of bed......nausea......mouth sores.....enough..........none of these things to be concerned about for AJ

    How about a little Heroic talk for those ladies..............pleeeeeeeeeeease, don't dare tell me AJ's sad or heroic story...she had a say in what happened to her because she found out what was in her body, had time to think, what should I do?, finally .......she woke up one morning and said "hmm think I will go have my breasts removed, by my choice, with the best surgeon we can find, probably in the best hospital in the country, and will have my boobs replaced with whatever size I desire...........not Chemo, no Rads, No AI's.........just back home to recover............sure no woman wants to go through losing their breasts................................however

    How many of you on this website had the choice....no you found out from either yourself, or a mammogram that you got hit by the bullet...........no should I do this.........damn it......................you were told you had CANCER, CANCER, CANCER DAMN IT............then told your choices, and one was not to have elective surgery.......................it was we need to do this now.

    So whoever I pissed off, I don't care........who do I love........the ladies who have given up their life to cancer....................sorry I apologize for nothing i said.................
