Peppermint! Were you playing Dodge-ball? I LOVED that game.... They called me mighty-mouse! Hah! You look tall! Course EVERYone was taller than I growing up.... I finally reached 5' 1-1/2 inches....
You water-skied?.... I was so afraid of the water! They almost drowned me dead when I was in Camp-fire girls.... We were in a big circle in the pool holding hands.... Went down to the deep end.... I was DROWNING! Trying to come up for air! I was too short for that carp! I kept sinking down under, and they finally didn't SEE me! So I was rescued.... never to play THAT game again!
Then I was "Tort" the turtle.... under a green box, for the water pageant.... Hah!

No, I didn't post another one....Just picture a little box, painted green, with a place cut out for my head.... I was on my knees, under the box, crawling around by the pool.... stop laughing! Tort was painted on the top.... and I had a rope tail.
I don't think camera's were invented in those days...........

Yes, that was me, summer of 1986. 5'8", 135 pounds. And that was just a speedo, no corset. A year later, I met DH and he started cooking Polish food... Potatoes, butter, more butter, more potatoes. I never struggled with weight before I married him. I was the same size in high school and through my 20's. I was 35 in that pic. I want that body back.0

Mags, that cake is waaayyyy to pretty to cut much less eat. I would be curious to know the price of that. I think we should refer to you as "Hey Good Lookin".
Chevy, you and your brother look so mature looking for your ages. Good looking family.
Patty, how many other sports did you do? How are the Valentine's plans coming along?

Hootie hoo

True true, Pattycakes. I will take DH at any age (over 18 of course).
Kath, the cake hasn't been made that's too pretty to eat. After all, if you don't eat it, what good is it?
I may have turned heads back then, but now I'm fat and flat. Just glad DH sees me through eyes of love.0 -

Morning gals....... Kath! I went back looking at that picture, and thought about it.... Our family was not what you would call happy... There were little "times" that we all were, but I guess everyone has things going on like that, and we just live through all the turmoil and muddled up Parents.
You don't know any better when you are kids... You are just there, growing up, hoping all the fighting and screaming & drinking won't get too bad where you have to run out of the house..... But I had my Brother....
When we got older, and we both went out, we would wait up for the other to come home, and have tea and talk about what we did... And when things got bad, you just learn, or maybe subconsciously block, or forget a lot of the hurtful things that went on. Thank God I can't remember most of my childhood... the school years, or being in a wedding of my best friend.... But looking at pictures sometimes bring back those memories..... And some, are gone forever...even WITH pictures. That's okay....
And then..... when things start looking up..... and growing up, it's like your life starts all over again! Like coming out from a deep hole... or out from under black clouds... and you can see, and feel yourself making your own life! So that's when you start living, and making your own lifetime of memories.
OKAY okay! That's RIGHT Peppermint, you were getting ready to serve over a NET! I didn't play that one.... Hah! Do you remember climbing those ropes in grade school? Clear to the ceiling? (I'm pretty sure I could not do that one, as we speak)... But how excited you were when you MADE it to the top? And then get down again without tearing the skin right off your legs down to the bone?
Loverly.... Is that you with your Mom??? Or are you in the back? Knowing what you went through, growing up, just makes you even more beautiful now.... You are very strong.... and I value you as a friend.... just know that. What was that occasion you were attending?
Under that picture, you have this..."None know what they can bear until they are tried." Susanna Wesley. My grace is sufficient for you, My strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor 12:9."
This is all so true! xoxo0 -
Rome 2007. I was 40, DD was 2.
I was always skinny (and brainy) one of those annoying types - the ones who can eat all they like, burn it all up and also gets all the A grades. My Mum in her 80's still has a great mind and a great figure.
Nowadays - tamoxifen/chemo brain and a lurvely spare tyre since hormone therapy. I show people who only know me now, photos of myself from 5 years ago and they don't recognise me. Don't blame them. Guess if I could reset my body it would be to around here, wouldn't want to be 20 again - ugh, too much pain and growing up still ahead. By 40 at least some experience can contribute to an itty bitty store of wisdom.

Darn just lost long post with pictures. Will post them later. Sorry late night brain. That was a picture of my roommate and me at her graduation. This picture reminds me of the anticipation of my own graduation the following year. It was a fun but quite stressful time as I had always struggled in school. Not as gifted as Feline

Patty, in high school DD1 was always being compared to DD2 to the point it seemed if she looked crossed eyed she'd get a demerit. 2 noticed it and I was even told they don't act alike. DUH They may be twins but they have different personalities. So every now and then 1 just didn't want to go to school so I let her have a mental health day or two. It really helped in getting her back on track. You did the right thing.

Feelingfine- you are beautiful. Life changes us, we do look different as we age. The drugs are hard on us. Everyone says I look younger than my age but I feel 80. Yet, I am grateful to be here and appreciate every day!

Just got back from a long walk with Mitzy. This is a picture of me (24) and mom at my college graduation...a miracle for someone who had problem focusing in a classroom setting. Couldn't sit still and pay attention. My mind would always wonder off to LaLa land.
This is my DD1 (4) and me (almost 2 months prego) 13 years ago in Italy. I don't look like that anymore which is ok.
If I could reset my body, it would be around this time (mid 30's) because I could eat pretty much anything and not worry how it would affect my digestion and weight. As far as wisdom, you tried to take the positives out from the trials and challenges of life. It is not easy. The trick for me is trying not to be bitter and be grateful that I am loved by my Father in Heaven. I think without pain/suffering , I think I would be stuck in my own world even more. This is just my experience.
Love you Ms. Chevy. You went through a lot of hardships yourself too! It is interesting how you don't remember certain part of your childhood. I too have memory lapses growing up. There are many things my younger Sis remembers and I don't.

Hey got my results back b9 findings. I wasn't even going to get the biopsy done but the radiologist acted like was such a large chance of being cancer, but than acted different the day of the biopsy, I won't do that again. The only thing it shows is intraductal hyperplasia usual type which I have no idea what that is. It's good that it's benign but I wish I hadn't had it done, the stereotactic was painful and now another scar and painful bruising. It states it is fibrocystic changes which is what I asked my nurse navigator about it being just fibrocystic changes since I do have fibraoodmas and dense breast she said not likely and how the radiologist gave me a 4c and how close that was to being a 5 so it has a 75% + chance of being cancer, that was on Monday. Than before the biopsy the radiologist tells my husband and I the opposite that it's 75% benign I thought about not having the biopsy but the Valium was kicking in and my husband would have been upset since we drove up ther. I am glad it's b9 but I wish the radiologist would have been honest with me in the first place and not told me a greater risk than it wa, scaring me into a biopsy. The nurse navigator told me they hate To scare me but do it so I will get the test which I didn't want in the first place. so I guess it worked but I am sure going to let whosever in charge know how wrong it is, I went through so much stressing pain based on a lie used to scare patients into getting a biopsy. It's just so wrong! Sorry so long jus can't believe they think it's okay to frighten and purposely deceive woman in order to manipulate woman into tests.

Boyd.... just be thankful it is nothing more than what you describe.... Sounds like the plan is just to watch you, and get your mammograms regularly, and see if there are any changes....
One of my Daughter's has fibrocystic changes, and has her annual mammograms, just to keep track of her breasts....
So you have GOOD news! Millions of women get biopsies, just to be informed, and to make sure the results are not positive! That should make you happy and relieved....
My friend Rosie had her biopsy.... I went with her.... so to celebrate after that, we went out to lunch! Her results were B9 also! That's all we want.

I am glad there b9 but I still wouldn't have done the biopsy if it hadn't been for the radiologists. I feel that I should have the right to make my own decision based on truth, and that wasn't given to me.

But I think that is the only way they can be positive, that it isn't malignant.... I know a biopsy is no fun, but it's over now..... If you didn't have one, you would have always wondered....
