    I need to go to bed too.....going for CTs of Head, C Spine, Thoracic and Lumbar Spine tomorrow. Thankfully is at an imaging center near home.

    WildT ~ Are you staying all night at the sleep center? I also hope you don't have to go into work. Were you able to have at least one PJ day this weekend?

    Morning gals.... I know SOME of you rabble-rousers.... are just maybe turning in.... Hah! I'll try and not wake you up.....

    I know what you mean about the homeless...Here in Denver, with our COLD Winter weather, our law-enforcement are always out trying to round up these people and take them to shelters. And SOME will go, but others refuse to go stay over-night "with all those crazy people."..... Especially down-town, around the 16th street Mall, and along Cherry-Creek.... They don't trust other people, and choose to stay among their friends..... and most of them have been homeless for years....

    It's always in the paper... and how there ARE resources to help anyone who will accept it. I used to see stories in the paper when I was younger, and I would go buy groceries for these people, and their pets, and drop them off at the Tavern, or church that was raising money for them....

    In Florida, there are a lot, same as in California.... but a lot of these folks choose that life-style, over accepting this help that is offered them.... and the weather there, helps them stay just where they want to! There are shelters, and food is offered, for any who want it...and they are converting old abandoned buildings into Homeless apartments for this problem.

    When some are interviewed, they explain why they just want to live their own life, without any ties, or interference from the City. Downtown, the store owners try and shag them off, because they cause a lot of problems begging, and using the alleys as their bathrooms....But it breaks my heart seeing them sitting along the off ramps on the highways, with their little DOG! I'd like to smack them and take that dog home with me!

    I just hate to see them begging, with their card-board signs on the street corners, smoking a cigarette.... and even holding their cell-phones! Smoking is EXPENSIVE! I remember before I quit, in 1959, they were about 35 cents a pack.... And I would look in pockets and cushions to try and find enough money to go buy a pack! And I finally only QUIT, because it was killing me.... Hurt my chest whenever I would inhale, so I had to give up those Menthol cigs, and I'm sure it saved my life.

    So okay.... you guys behave.... Yes, little Loverly,babygirl is BEAuTiFuL!

    Loverly- that baby is so beautiful!

    My sister lives in southern Cali and was driving back from her second home in Palm Springs yesterday trying to get some things done between the storms. She said she hit some unbelievable rain in Riverside and had to slowly drive home to get their safely. Too much rain at once. We are getting your storms too and tons of rain and snow, and have seen some torrential rains here, but not like you have. It must be scary to be in storms all the time that feel like hurricanes.

    And hugs to those in the south and with the terrible storms there.

    Hi friends- here with some sad news today. Our sister, Rosevalley, passed to the other side yesterday. She was here with us on this thread for awhile, and has a dedicated thread many of you know about and have posted on. She went in to Hospice just over a week ago.

    Her DH posted on her thread to let us know

    You know, I don't know whether to cry or hit a wall somewhere.... It just plain hurts when those we have known, and followed lose their fight....

    Amen, Chevy. I think both crying and breaking a few things is in order, if you are feeling it.

    When things like this happen.... you just feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you! People should not lose their lives to cancer! Especially in this day and age! There are so many treatments to help! I'm just so damn sorry..........

    Chevy- for the longest time, I did not know anyone who lost their battle here. In the past six months, I have known at least six women on these threads who lost their lives to this disease. It is truly heartbreaking, and the youngest was only 29.

    I think this is an important reminder that despite being highly treatable, this crap still takes women's lives. There needs to be needs to be more research needs to be focused on the more aggressive types and advanced stages cancer.

    Rose fought to live like I have never witnessed before. May the angels embrace her now.

    Susie sorry for the loss of your grandson.

    Susie ~ So sorry your grandson passed away. Wishing comfort for you and your family.

    Although we knew Rosevalley was nearing her transition from this life, news of her passing is still hard.

    Prayers for peace for all...........

    Susie I am so sorry to hear of your terrible loss.

    May God bring help and consolation to all of Ethan's heartbroken family and friends.

    May Ethan rest in peace and rise in glory.

    Jazzy, I KNOW! I would sometimes read of someone passing, but I wasn't very familiar with them... But it seems like, no matter how advanced we think we are, and even though some of us can make it through the cancer part, there are just way too many that don't seem to have a chance!

    Rosie DID seem to be "okay"..! I thought she was coming through the hardest part! And I guess that is why this is all such a shock! Maybe I was just hoping?

    Your friend was only 29??? And then "slow deep breaths" was "called home" from another thread!!

    And I'm sorry Susie...! I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my Grandsons................ It's like losing another one, makes your pain even greater.......His name was "Ethan"???? Now we "know" him....

    Just thinking of you gals......... and for our angels who have gone to heaven.

    Sweet dreams, sleep tight, good night.... don't let the bed-bugs bite sweet Rosie...

    We love you..... xoxo

    Chevy- yes, one of the sisters who lost her battle here was only in her late twenties. She was on the singles thread with us. She had a very aggressive cancer.

    I take nothing for granted and appreciate every day ladies

    SusieM, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel like I should say more, but words escape me. My heart aches for you and your family.
