My long reply is in the thread you sent for me to read. I thought it would show on this insomniac thread. Please respond when you read my post. I had some questions for you. Thank

Sas- when I was having issues with my cycle every two weeks docs looked all at ovaries, uterus, couldn’t find a problem. The thought is that the BC was prompting the higher levels of ER/PR and triggering my cycle. We didn’t look at breast for any issues until I felt the lump. Then everything seemed to make more sense when we got the tumor results b/c it was so highly reactive to hormone

Sas - what the hell frog feathers - it meant that some people have old computers or their phones cannot handle the load of one post w numerous photos. Sas - HAHAHA you are so funny. Frog feathers!
This is a fake ladybug. I think. I don't know!
Here's a link to many pics of the lady beetles that I think are not Asian. Because I think Asian always have a little white M or W between the head and shoulder. Like the one above has a tiny one. The ladybugs or ladybirds we romantasize are uniformly dotted and have only a few dots, dark red. Those are the ones of nursery rhymes and garden searches. BTW, they did just fine in eating aphids, no need to bring in the Asian, but it was done anyway. https://www.ladybug-life-cycle.com/classification-...
Maybe there are frogs with feathers on that site. : )
Here's the story I wrote about them.... http://www.womens-fiction.com/short-stories/gracie... Gracie, the freezing fake ladybug. It's a how I piss off Hubby story too.

Ladies, BCO had an ill conceived campaign called Take the Fright Out of Breast Cancer during the month of October. There was a thread on this. It has since been closed to discussion and moved here: https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/135/topics/860125?page=1
Please visit this thread as I think some of you would have valuable comments to make. It is about the amount of money they want to raise to revamp BCO and how they are wanting to do it.

Funny story about the ladybugs 0 -
Sas I have my exchange surgery at the end of March. Double new boobs.
Funny thing happened this morning. I was getting ready for work. Put on a long sleeve shirt. It was rather tight. I’m okay with that. But when I looked in the mirror it was also very low cut and showed off the clevage. I thought... OMG I am not ready for that! I had to change clothes.
I don’t think it looked bad. But I was not prepared to SEE it. Wow

Oh TaRe, with out a bra my cleavage goes sideways. Shitty PS work. But Donnie's never complained. When they are pushed together they look okay.
I was a uniform lifer. 12 years of catholic school. Then 3 years at a Catholic Jesuit University. Then nursing school. Then nursing. I never learned how to wear anything that remotely showed cleavage. THEN THEN THEN on Donnie's and our first date to Carabbas's, I had a thing on, that showed a bit of cleavage. Pushed together it looked real. He said "Now cover that up, you don't need to be showing that" I asked if I looked bad he said " No, but that's just for me" I thought that was so cool.

I told Donnie what I just wrote. The memory was from 11/17/2012 his birthday. We laughed.
TALK about MEMORIES. On Jan31st there is going to be a Super Blue Red moon. The last time it happened was 150 years ago. Hope I can retrieve the clip that explains it all. Plus they're is an event next January. The two celestial events are so rare so close.
Be back with link

I do not want to miss this special moon. So far on last two moons one was too cloudy of sky to see anything, the other I forgot!
Yes, on the Gracie story - to this day Hubby frowns at me what I remind him of the day I fricked up his pperfect plastic window cover.

OH so quiet..........oh my goodness 2 days since anyone posted............ Well, that's kinda a record.
DS Stephen got me wireless headphones for Christmas. Rocket scientist neighbor set it up a couple of days ago. He couldn't do it before that b/c he was sending off rockets in California.
IT is so cool I can HEAR. My approach to be hearing impaired is request people to speak up. It's worked for most of my life. Some people get irritated.
Donnie jumped up at Christmas when I opened Stephens gift and Yelled "Wahoo" whatever, Hahaha
I have two jokes about hearing loss 1. the car always runs well. 2. I get left out of the gossip stuff.

Hey Sas
I'm still reading the older posts from 2015. I haven't been on any forums until this evening due to a busy weekend. We had a birthday " weekend" for my daughter who just turned 15. Went to the Cheesecake Factory. I went early, to wait for a table for 20. The kids were bowling. Well, it was a 3 1/2 hour wait. They will not take reservations. This place has only been around a year in our area, and the most popular restaurant in Greensboro. Always busy.
First of all, I didn't realize you were a nurse for 40 years. Wow. I would love to know what all you have seen over the years. My best friend has been in nursing for many years, however she's in the administration of it now. When she did clinicals in the Bronx of New York, I can't believe some of the things she dealt with. Babies born to mothers who were on crack, aids babies, and I could go on and on. I know you know all this. Nothing should surprise me, but yet, it still does.
I saw on one of your responses, that you've been criticized for what you've said regarding drugs, and the problems from it. Whatever anyone said is their problem. I like that you speak up!!!! Are you still in nursing, or have you retired? Did you enjoy your career? I love to ask questions. I like to learn something new everyday. I'm having one of my many sleepless nights, then I'll get up around 2:00 in the afternoon. Sighhh. Never will get on a schedule. Gonna continue reading these older threads regarding drugs. I'm curious, though, what are you thoughts about tramadol, and why you think it should be off the market? I will say this, when my reconstruction is complete, and healed, I'll be so glad to be off any pain med. I just hope they don't try to shove Percocet at me again!!!! Hope you don't mind all my questions.0 -
I'm curious to know, what are good "sleepy teas"?0

Sas
Sorry, you don't have to answer the tramadol question, reading the post as we speak.0 -

Woke in a bad mood. Am over it now. Mostly I was ticked I was not done w my end of life paperwork and organization (from her out called my project) and I had wanted that done yesterday at 5 so I could stop and read a book or paint. Too much pressing to take more tome than I do, and I do take a lot of time now for pleasurable activities too, movies, brunch, sleeping, all that good stuff.
Palliative care nurse came this afternoon for three hours. Only she was actually what will be my hospice nurse. Wendy.
I just love her. Wonderful camaraderie. Perfect communication partnership. She won't be my palliative which is the program I will be in now, but she is the fill in for Theresa, the palliative when needed. And she (Wendy) will be my hospice nurse later. So THAT takes the worry out of the future. I was concerned about the transition from palliative nurse to hospice nurse because I do not do well with medical professionals, I am a hard core do-it-yourselfer and now I need help........ and now I know it will be just fine.
Said okay to the social worker coming out and the non-denominational chaplain. My friend who will officiate my end of life celebration is non-denominational. We will see how this goes. I have my beliefs and do not like any attempt to sway me from them, that would not go well.
I want Hubby to be okay, as okay as a Hubby can be okay in this situation though I have no control over his okayedness. I see strong denial coming at him if he doesn't begin talking or something. He keeps saying he believes I can beat this. Inspirational for me, and I am working on that but I also know more than he does and I can feel what is happening in my body. I have said it is like he will in the end be on shore as everyone has gone off surfing and he is scratching his head and wondering what the frick happened. Some denial can go a long way but too much can be a shock.
Sas - Hubby is hearing impaired. We can be watching Wheel of Fortune w TV loud enough for him to hear w his hearing aids in and ON. I will say the letters or the answer. Soooooon he will say the letters or answer. IT is like he is in a world of his own so much of the time. He watches TV w the volume off so it doesn't disturb me and he says he is able to lip read a lot. Which would help if he would look at me when I am talking but he is not that careful. This is his 3rd pr of aids. They have all be pd in full by ins, no copay and the hearing aid co sends batteries whenever he calls, no fee. The first was dynamic. I want another pair lik those, he can get the next paid in March and I am going w and making sure we do not get talked into another upgrade that does not work. Wireless headphones sound like a good idea too. Except not during Wheel of Fortune.
Having comfort food for dinner. Mashed potatoes w onion cooked in the water. Hamburger milk gravy with diced onions on top. Green beans.

I realized this weekend that DH can only hear a fraction of what I'm saying. I think he just fakes it. Common response, I believe. We're both going to need aids, but he may need his first. I have problems understanding him, but he does mumble (he admits this and has always done it). The other problem is the phone. I ask people to spell their names and I'm not even close with what I heard. One of the reasons I'm giving up the receptionist at the senior center.

Quick drop in to say hi. Thank you Ms. Sas for the prayers
. Dad had the prostatectomy surgery last Tuesday. Surgery went well and will find out results tomorrow when I take Dad in to see the surgeon for follow up and to have the Foley catheter removed. Dad is hearing impaired and I have some silly stories of his post-op hospital stay to share, but it’s late and I need to shower and hit the sack. Long day tomorrow. Oh and I got the mail from you. You didn’t have to, but thank you. Blue, hope you have a more productive day tomorrow. Thanks for the pictures
Waving hi to everyone.
