    lordie but the first time a pal told me her family was disfunctional, had no idea what she meant

    I figured it out when my family turned it into a life style.....my family is so un- functioning it is not believable

    sort of gave up on their nuttieness

    If you are still communicating you don't truly understand the word dysfunctional! Laughing

    LOL........we do communicate, whenever they decide to......in a crisis they are great......otherwise it's whenever the spirit moves them.........funny thing is listening to them criticize each other..........yet they will be there when you need them........if things are going well...........forgetaboutit.......lol

    no my family is not in communication currently, saw my sister at my brothers funeral in Jan, that was after about.....7 years of no contact?  Although, she did take my call 5 years ago when I called her about my diagnosis and to ask about what my moms lung cancer started as

    lets see, she did send me a Bday gift and I called to say thanks, that was May, has not answered any of the e mails since.....who knows these days~

    she split from hubby, has a ton of money, big new house with pool and all so do I sound jealous?  yeap

    Ditto to what Ducky said.  I was going to type it but she beat me to the punch.

    I've often heard of friends being called "my family of choice" - you're not stuck with those you were born to. Knew someone who flew to Germany every year to spend Christmas with her family of choice.

  • gardengumby

    My family of choice is my hubby.  :) 

    Haven't spoken to sis in 10 years other than once when diagnosed.  She sent flowers, I called to thank her - she said SHE wouldn't get cancer 'cuz she exercises every day and doesn't ever drink alcohol.  

    I won't even start on a couple other family members

    and then there's the one's who want to know any info/dirt that's going on anywhere so they can tell everyone else.

    Hugs Veggy and we are all with you.

    My mother always said 'God gave us our family but thank God we make our own friends!'

      Big hugs to all.

    I am an only child, so it's not my siblings.........I have none.......it is my goofy kids....all 6..... They get their asses in knots, at times......I have a saying......YOU SEE THE WAY YOU GOT MAD..........WELL THAT IS THE SAME WAY YOU CAN GET GLAD........and as far as visits go.......another saying....YOU DON'T COME.....YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME......AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON THE WAY OUT.



    You get tired trying to keep the peace...

        im really pretty lucky when it comes to family, we all get along for the most part. I have 1 sister who is a little wacky, but in a good way. I get along with everybody but some of my siblings dont like eachother very much.

    I know this has nothing to do with you all but it made me laugh - being my birthday today - I need to laugh.  I play ToonTown, A Disney online Game, with the grandsons. When mygranddaughter was young she used to play this game with me.. She quit playing after mommy divorced daddy and lived with mommy.  Anyway, she got me addicted - this is why this pic is so funny to me.

    Edit: Forgot - Bummer - It won't let me publish it :(  - It said " I suffer from ODD - Obsessive Disney Disorder.  The only cure is more Disney...."

    It kinda reminded me of our Caffeine/Coffee/Dt. Coke funny pics.

    Alyson - couldn't see your picture but the black section made me laugh too! 

    I just had the greatest Birthday Present Ever for a Grandma! The Grandson called me on Sype and  John Ross(6 yrs) sang Happy Birthday in Mandarin and William(3 yrs) sang Happy Birthday in English. Not many grandmas I know can get sung to in two languages!

    Oh so nice a birthday gift!

    my nephew did that for me one year, he sounded like Marilyn Monroe.  It was a bit of a problem as I was not sure which neice or nephew it was~~~

    but congrats for the very smart kids in your family!

    My oncologist called me back last night. She was upset by the idiot nurse who went over my new chemo.The oncologist answered my questions, lke for example, how much do I take. She wanted me to talk to one of the higher ups in that building. Today that woman called. I'm starting the chemo pill on Monday. Xeloda. I have been in so much pain today that I took a pain pill and took a nap. It feels so good to slep.

    hugs

    Veggy - Glad you have a decent oncologist - heaven save us from some of the PAs and nurses (though many of them are great, too many of especially the PAs seem to be bent on thwarting you at every turn).

    In the meantime, big hugs.  Sleep!!  I swear I don't hurt nearly as much when I get enough rest.  Be kind to yourself.
