Chevy- I know you will want to know this! My steel drum class started up last night and talked to the teacher about wanting one BAD and he is going to help me to get one this summer. He has a used one he said will be perfect and at a better price than buying new off the internet. He said he will figure something out to help me.
My neighbors are gong to love me now......

Lori, hope family and DH are spoiling you. Thank God for church family. Love your upbeat attitude.
Kathi, glad the wind was right for you to drop in. Has FFH earned the his DH name back?
Jazzy, how exciting, but your poor neighbors when you need to release your tension from stress.
Ms. Chevy, nice remake of the Sound of Silence. I like his deep voice, but still prefer the original....sounds more soothing. This song and The House of The Rising Sun remind me of the time when the US came to help VN fight the communist. Amazing how music takes you back to the same place where you first heard it.

I know what you mean Loverly.... Sometimes "things" just take us back to another time in our lives... Or a song gets on our mind, and it just doesn't go away! If we could only "wash away" bad memories.... and never find them again! So glad your life is good now little one! xoxo

Yes, beautiful poem Ms. Chevy. This is the same one shared at....was it your niece's funeral? I couldn't write about Ms. Blondie's passing here this morning either.

Jazzygirl - I am sorry to hear about Blondie. You said that if we were inclined to, to visit her thread. However there are numerous members with the name of "Blondie". How do I get to the correct one?

JazzyJune- here is her thread. One of the sisters on BCO created it last year I think to help her along as things were changing and so she had some better support from us. Notes of encouragement, funny pictures, things from the garden, those goofy pet shots, etc. She would pop in and say hi to us and here sometimes too.

Lover, right now he has gone back to being DH. For over a year now he has alternated between Jekyll and Hyde due to health issues. When he is Jekyll, he says some very mean things to me. Luckily, it doesn't last long but I tend to go quiet. Plus, he doesn't like me on this site. I enjoy the camaraderie here and the friendships that are made. I learned so many things here.
So sorry to hear about Blondie. I remember her from one of the other threads I use to be on. May she rest in peace.
Jazzy, here in DC during the warm weather one of the major parks has a drum circle on Sunday's that lasts oat of the day. I've been a couple of times and there is something about it that is mesmerizing to me. Good luck in getting your drum.

Dear Kath.... I think we all know the Jekyll & Hyde in our men, whether is is health reasons or drinking or whatever...Or maybe we have just seen this in other families.... but I figured out you just don't tell them everything they don't need to know... We spoil and pamper them too much, and seem afraid to just stop..... Stop right there, and look at them and say Have you gone completely out of your MIND???
You put your hands on your hips, and look them square in the eye and SAY that! Then walk away. Walk away, and throw your hand up like "tell it to the hand".... Stomp off and go do your own thing.
Don't let those little chitty moods they get in spoil YOUR fun! As soon as we learn to STAND UP, throw their crap right back AT them, then they will learn they can't push you around. Wish my Mom had done that ...........
And don't tell him anything about what you hear or say on this site... He is jealous that you have someone else to talk to... We don't tell these men everything we do or think. And the older you get, you will understand how fun this is... to actually be in charge....

I didn't know Blondie but from reading her thread it has given me insight to why everyone loves her so. What an awesome Angel the BOC crew has had all these years. I wish peace and condolences to all her Family and Friends. I truly believe Blondie is no longer in pain and is by our Lord's side. May she rest in peace!

Hi all,

Blondie....no words

It's been quiet here........so much sadness.
I remember Sas talking about Blondie's ladybug tattoos and that each had a special meaning to her. Blondie was special to so many on the BCO boards. My heart goes out to all whose lives she touched. May her soul be at peace, knowing she was loved, resting forever free of pain and sorrows.
Ladybug . . . a good luck symbol.
It's believed she first came to earth by lightening sent by the Goddess of Love and Beauty. When she swoops in, it's to remind us that life is short, and not let worries cloud a single day.

Welcome to our thread Judy! With so many ladies here on various time zones around the world, this thread goes non stop 24 by 7. We hope you like it here.
Shep- I love that you shared about the ladybugs and had remember when she was getting her last tatoo done. What lovely symbolism and great words to live. We are all very sad here this weekend, I think. She was on my mind all day yesterday.

Hi Judy.... WELCOME!

Chevy- agreed. Someone once said, can't we all just get along?
Calling all shoe lovers. I found them today, and here they are with my new pedi.

Chevy, how poignant and true. Thank you for sharing that.
Welcome Judy! Great bunch of ladies here. Full of information and mischief.
Shepkitty, lady bugs are the only bugs I like landing on me. When I was much, much younger my dad told me that they brought good luck to whomever they landed on.
Has anyone heard from Mags? Did I miss something while I've been lurking?
Whencie, how are you doing? Hope your recovery is going well.
JuneBug, hope all is going well for you since you've gotten home.
Lover, you been behaving yourself? Oh silly me, I know you are definitely being mischievous.
Patty, glad you have stopped in. I worry when I don't see you.
((((HUGS)))) MammaRay.
Smarrty, Susan - baby pictures please!
Edited to add: Yea! Jazzy

Hah! Jazzy! Those new sandles would match Spookies CAR! Love your pedicure!
Hey Kath! So hot here.... Up to 110 on our back patio awhile ago!

Wow Chevy, we only got up to 91 and the humidity wasn't too bad. Very unusual for this time of year.

Chevy how true.
Judy welcome, nice to see you here.
Junie and Wenchie I hope that your recoveries are going well and that you have no pain. Hopefully you are mobile and able to get outside and enjoy some of the summer.
Shep ladybugs are loved by many, and the same can be said for Blondie, sorry to hear of her passing.
MammaRay are you still on holidays?
Kath and Chevy it is not hot here, but it is humid. There was funnel cloud warnings today, we have had 21 days since the beginning of June with rain.
We went out for my sons birthday last night to a bar restaurant and had a good time. My daughter was supposed to be getting married next month, but her boyfriend bailed on her. She's beside herself and had to take time off work, but she is still with him [what is with that]. He is lucky though, he didn't lose any money, just us and his parents, mainly us. My son did not want him at his dinner, but everything went smoothly . I can't believe he would even want to come.
Now for some good news, I heard last week I am scheduled for reconstruction surgery Aug 5, I 'm very excited. wooho!

Forward, I agree. Dogs are loyal and forgiving. We human can learn from them. I'm sorry to hear about the wedding cancellation. August 5th is around the corner! Will you be getting Barbie boops?
Kathi, your DH is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? And he doesn't like you on this site either? What a coincidence!
Ms. Chevy, one day I did just that- I put my hands on my Jennifer Lopez hips(minus the bubble butt; mine is flat as a pancake) and looked at DH square in the eyes and said....'Have you gone completely out of YOUR MIND? I don't fuss when you blah blah blah. These ladies are my friends. They understand my struggles and then more blah blah blah.' You see, Ms. Chevy and Kathi, inside that adult body there is an insecure child who is jealous for our love. After our talk, DH seems to understand my needs to receive and give support. I try to be mindful of his needs also. Trying not to be Mrs. Hyde. Sooooo Ms. Chevy, your "nothing" is something.
Jazzy, you found your sandals! Got to get a cute pedicure to go with them. I like the color and the accent. Good job for spoiling yourself.
ShepK, beautiful piece about the lady bug. Yup, life is short. Our journey here is only temporary. I will share with you what I think about the ending of The Life of Pi after Ms. Smarty sees the movie as I don't want to spoil it for her. Have you gotten your rail installed yet? How is DS doing?
Ms. S, I am free on the 26th or 29th if you are still up for it. Maybe Sensi could join us??
Lori, JunieB, and Susan, how are you ladies doing?
Welcome Judy! Are you an RN
Edit: my spelling check is wot doing its work!

lover, 29th would be good. Hopefully Sensi will make it too.
No new Evie pics. I did ask if she had any 6 mo pic but she hadn't done any yet. Out of town the next two weeks starting tomorrow. Back on the 25.
Hi Judy, welcome. We're all a bit (not me) crazy here!
Wenchie, how you doing? Being good?

Hi everyone! I've been busy with family visiting and my Mom being in the ICU for the past few days so I've been laying low and just resting.
My procedure went off without a hitch. I was scheduled for 5 to 6 hours but it took about 3.5 hours of surgery and I spent 2 hours in recovery. I was upset as I was woken during the most warm and comforting sleep I've had in 4 months! What gives? :-)
With all that's going on around me and spending all day yesterday at the hospital with my Mom, I'm doing very well. I have my FU with my PS today. My drains haven't bothered me at all. Thank the Lord! I have to be under 20ccs before I can have them removed. My left (cancer side) was 5ccs this morning and my right side was 25cc. They've been pretty much all over the place but I've had no pain whatsoever. I'm very tender all over but no "real" pain. The phantom nipples have shown up. It's hilarious when my nipples react to the cold and I have no nipples! It feels like I'm having a "let down" of milk when I stand up which is also very entertaining to everyone around me.
I still haven't made my FU with my BS yet. I'm not sure why I'm dragging my feet about that. Maybe it's cuz she hasn't been right about anything that she's told me from the beginning! Oh well...
Our church family has gone above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined! The food is of a wonderful healing quality and ohhhh soooo gooood!
I'm heading back to my recliner and a nap. BBL

Lover, glad to hear I am not the only one whose hubby feels that way. Sorry you are/were in the same boat. The last time he pulled this stunt I just looked at him and asked him if he felt better for saying what he did. His expression was priceless. He doesn't see the camaraderie that goes on with these discussion boards. He sees it as not getting beyond the cancer. When he pulls his crap line about that I just look at him and say, "No Sh.t Sherlock. Take a look at my chest. No boobs and plenty of scars. Doesn't take an advanced degree to figure that one out." I have learned not to share too much ever since I told him my GYN asked if I still did exams. He thought that was ridiculous. The man lives in a bubble world at times. It will be 44 years of marriage come August. Must say he has become a stubborn mule in his old age. (Hmm, can we say jack a$$.)
Wench, you sound like you are going very well. My drains didn't bother me at all either. I had and still at times can feel the weight of my breasts and my surgery was four years ago! I remember making that comment to my BS and he said that was perfectly normal since it was an amputation of a body part.
Lookie, I can't blame your son for not wanting your daughter's boyfriend at his dinner. I want to throttle the guy for you for breaking off the wedding. We are looking at a wedding in October and hubby and I are paying the bulk of the costs. Is there any chance that the wedding could still happen?
