You could use a can of hair spray and my hair would not do that. I just went around being out of style during the big hair days. I could tease my hair, spray, and shake my head and it would go back to straight. I was pretty awesome during the straight hair days tho.

Oh Chevy u are beautiful and I wish I could have big hair, I'm lucky to have what I have, U have perfect eybrowns and u really know how to do u'r eyes. I just can't get that straight, never could. U'r skin is so pretty. OK enough smaltzy stuff. Wow I wish I had Mata Hari's body.
Well I finished all my paperwork frm 2008 til this year and it will go in the mail tomorrow-Whew, it's a mess but someone (me) had to do it. Now we shall wait. da da da DA.

Hey you old biddybat , is that really a picture of you - or did you just find someone gorgeous and say it's you? Can't really tell from our days in the doghouse as it was dark in there..
Seriously sometimes with you I am surprised at these odd things.. I love bocce ball, and gardening, and beans on tortillas, and playing hard as nails. But I have never put rollers in my hair or 'fixed' it really. But here is the thing. One of my very, very best friends ever had BIG Texas size hair and it was peroxide blonde to boot. She was so wonderful and beautiful and lord God I wish she were still around. But you know, before I met her if someone had asked my if I would ever have this wonderful friend who was kind of my second mom - sister who had this giant peroxided hair.. I would have thought .. nah, we're too different. I was so stupid - really. And she had BC. Strange world.

Ok...I'm going to be a downer today, I just need to vent. I'm so tired of all these aches and pains. Just saying....that is all.

Nettie, downer? That was a vent? That was a statement to me. Hope you feel better soon, girl!

Thanks, 2nd!!!

Oh Nettie are u'r vents that tough with u'r Docs? That was barely a sentence. I'm sorry u'r having such a hard time, it's seems like it's time to feel good and it just doesn't happen--I know. Are u trying to walk a bit? I'm certainly not preaching I just repeat things. Cuz I'm the worst at exercise and I don't get endorphins from it either, just more misery. LOL I hope this stops for u and u start feeling better.

((Nettie)) vent away, this is a safe place. We feel your pain!

Ok, this time, it's questions. How many of you stage II ladies have had scans due to aches and pains and how soon after dx or end of treatment did you have them?
just trying to do some math.

For the next get together

Beautiful pic Chevy...we have some great looking Owlettes on this thread
) hope everyone is doing well today....except sorry that you're in pain, that makes for a miserable day. I get scans about 2-3 a year for various things. The scans began at diagnosis. The hormonal therapy makes many of us ache all over. I take arthritis medicine for inflammation which helps with the stiffness, and pain meds for the pain. I also take supplements, and drink more water. But sometimes, the pain flares up. How's your bone density? Have you had DEXA scan? Tell you doctor about the amount of pain you are having, and hopefully you'll find something to ease it up. 0 -
The pain statement was for Nettie1964 but the name got deleted

Hi Cami, Sass, Chevyboy and the rest of you Owls , Well on Tuesday, I will be seeing the new PS and see if he can correct my exchange that the old PS screwed up. Sass, I am doing as you said and writing a narrative of the irregularities in my records. Who could believe that a professional would alter records. Well, I am sure mine has . So how do you correct a F-up foob job?? This is causing me all kind of anxiety. I see my summer wasted for operations to correct. I am also worried about the new PS thinks I am a whiney patient. Alright, I am going to stop stressing because I know this foob shouldn't be half way under my arm and so high I feel like I am choking. The AL has kicked in again, too. I have been so exhausted lately==I'm hardly making it out of bed less for work. Today, I did not make it to church--since the service is at 8:30, but I did make myself bathe and get out of the house by noon. Ohterwise I would have slept in like I did on Saturday while the rest of the world was enjoying the sunny day. The funny thing is I went and did what usually makes me happy--went to the Casino (which is about 15 minutes away from me) and sleepingly drooled while falling asleep over the slots. LOL!! Lucky, I came back with the money I took. I felt good about making myself get out. Of course, I took a long nap when I got home.
Sass, still thinking about you and the thyroid cancer. Sorry to hear that is just one more thing you are dealing with.
Love and hugs to all! Dorothy

Good to see u Dwill, yes between aches and pains and sleepy we're adding to the Snow White story and adding more names--not to much we can do I guess. I could never work and be on time anymore that's fr sure, I used to never ever be late now, I'm sure I could be everyday. And I planned to work til I was 70, retiring with OK living, Pashaw, that plan totally fizzled away hahaha--U know tha' the ony thing I actually planned in my life---everything else was just happened or I just did things--that's why I don't like to plan anything,
0 -
Smaarty, you read my mind, need to get me one of those!
Cammi, I feel the same way. Planned and was careful with money and lots of things in my life, never expected to be where I am now.

Morning gals! Thanks for all the compliments! Man! I'll have to post pictures of someone else all the TIME to get compliments...Ha!
Nah, that was me last year... I would like to change a few things, but at my age, it doesn't matter... See, my theory is, if you can distract people from focusing on your not-so-good other parts, by using enough make-up, they will just not notice!
At leas that's what Vinny said.....
Actually Wren, my hair is really fine... I mean it is not thick, like one of my Daughte's... But I color it, which gives it more body, and then I use a hot hair setter every morning, then tease it, and use a little hair-spray!
You are awesome anyway.... Wait! Post a picture of your awesome days...Ha!
And Cammi.... My eyebrows are not even! I am missing about 1/4 inch towards my nose! But I shade them in with a pencil, and then with my eye-liner brush, paint little "hairs" to fill it in! You guys are probably thinking, MAN, that woman takes forEVER to get ready! But I've been doing it so long, I can do my face and hair in about 1/2 hour!
Besides, it's just plain SCARY leaving the house without doing any of that! I mean I'm the one scaring people! If I ever DID that.... I mean.
Thank you Nettie and Spookie... And so there's Lilshit! I put a better rug in our dog-house! That's in case we ever get in trouble again, which is a "given"....!
But I don't know bocce-ball from BOWLING! I MEANT I love the DRINK! Vodka, Amaretto, and orange juice! I don't fix them, but when we go to a Casino, I order one....Ha, ha!
No.... don't every say you were stupid.... couldn't happen.... no-one is stupid, when we love them....
Nettie... don't know what to say.... just wish I could make you feel better... But you could have yelled about it a lot more! Maybe that's what it TAKES! That was funny 2nd! A "statement"....
!!! See, Nettie, when you "vent" you have to really GO for it....
[img style="width: 236px; height: 329px;" alt="Keep calm and...
Just go ahead and talk about it...
And when Cammi says "It's barely a sentence" .... she KNOWS what she is talking about! We around here know how to whine and moan! But we do it with Pizzaz!
Maybe try this one...
Morning Smarty and Pawprint! I just love "Pawprint!"
Dwilli! Don't tell me! Your PS screwed up? Seems to be a trend going around here! Try above picture! I like going to the Casino too! You "drooled?" Eeeeks!
Yes 2nd! Weekend officially over...! Such a cute picture though!

Ahhh. the drink! Well that's even better, then. But yes, sometimes I am just not too bright, like this morning. I got up early to go to my physical therapy appt. Made coffee, got the paper for mom, etc. Went out and got in the car and realized that the appt is tomorrow. Well ol' big haired lady when I see you someday we will drink bocce balls at the casino & then you can go out after and do whatever it is you do at night that gets you in so much trouble all the time.
Sassy are you done glowing yet? How soon an the DBFWSOTOSOTH come out?Some wishes: I hope that Smarty's done moving the MIL, Nettie's pain goes away but she goes to the appt. anyway, Cami puts on a Mata Hari outfit and post a picture for us 'cause she does look like Mata Hari, Dwill gets some new boobs, Chevy lets Vinnie out of the basement, and FBB knows that we're all still in her pocket and that everybody else gets exactly what they want forever.

Wren, lol! You are still awesome!
Keeping everyone close for the next few days. Would rather be in the doghouse with ziggy and Chevy with her big beautiful hair. We could be like Hogan's Heroes, living under the doghouse with the German shepherd in it and having one big party. Cami aka Mata Hari spying for the Germans, rooftop ledge dancing and all that fun. Smaarty might share some of that wine, Screw these tests.
Fingers, toes, and wings crossed.

you guys can have the wine. I don't like wine. Any color or flavor unless it's mixed with 7up.
This is for Cami, or Chevy, or maybe all of us!

I'm just catching up, which is nearly impossible, but I do read everything, but by the time I get to the end, I've forgotten the beginning!
Feeling better today, still holding out for the ortho appt on Wednesday, trying to keep the courage and not cancel, but I'm not even sure what to tell the doctor! It will sound like I'm a hypochondriac, let me see doc where do I start:
- Pain that come and go in my skull or scalp (sorry, I don't know which)
- Pain in my upper right shoulder/back area
- Pain in my left elbow
- Pain in my right forearm
- Pain in my left hip that goes down into my knee
And those are only the most prominent ones, how about I just say my body hurts! I really don't know how I'm going to make him understand! And then there's the fact that my MO has said "no scans", he doesn't want me exposed to radiation, do I mention that??
Chit, I just want to run away from it all!! However, today has not been so bad! I can feel the "places" but as of now there's not a lot of pain! WEIRD!! Yes, I'm always the weird one!!
Sas, I admire you for all your research! Hope I'm never dx with thyroid cancer, I would get it all wrong! I have had hypothyroid for a long time, funny how a lot of BC patients also have this!
Chevy, did you change your screen name or am I crazy?
Well lunch break is over, better do some work!

Oh one more thing, I saw a post on FB the other day, I thought of putting here, but it is crude, but I laughed until I cried! Not sure if I could post it on here without the moderators removing. I'm not sure yet what all is tolerated! It was a pic of a cake that, well, I really can't explain! But if you need a laugh and you are not easily offended or embarassed, let me know and I'll try to PM the pic!
0 -
Well I can speak for Chevy too--we don't get offended at all, and the Mods are really pretty good knowing we all are a little off of everything.
Nettie u go to that app't write down things as u feel them, Don't dismiss anything, now I'm not trying to scare u, but our bones seem to weaken with all of this and they have help for us (some) -don't mention about the scans cuz he'll read it and every Dr. is different, I've had so many scans I thought I should be carrying around a scanner. And I think when we're going thru chemo and rads and feel like chit--we mentally know it's OK, but after we thingk WTF is going on and unfortunately I really do think we are in the higher percent of feeling this way--my sister does, my cousin does, so we were all under the impression Oh u'r done--u should be fine now. NO I don't think so, it weighs heavily on our mental states and our bodies have been (let's face it poisoned) and slammed with so many things. I just clean the litter box and I feel like that will be my position forever hahaha
Sas when it got dark last nite I swear I saw a glow in the sky far away in u'r direction.
Smaarty that pic is so true LOL
OK everything is in their envelopes and ready to mail today--I'm officially done with all this tax stuff--I did of course write to the President and the Governor this morning b8tchin my head off but kindly. Drank loads of coffe in the last 2 days, eating just all kinds of crap--which I tend to do a lot and saying a private prayer about these insane people who are targeting me like there are no other problems to deal with in this country.

Nettie - just one small comment. Nope, I would not say what MO says about scans. Let your ortho make up his own mind. Now I would have an answer for him if asks pointedly what MO says. I think the "exposure to radiation" when you hurt like you do is a bunch of horse hockey. MO should have a better rationale than that. Now if you were just asking for one to just ask that's a whole 'nother answer. And by answer I mean one you have thoughtfully composed and practiced. Not devious, just the facts ma'm kinda thing. SOOO easy to get rattled and forget what you want to say or have it come out wrong. Yes take him a list of symptoms/places it hurts. Nothing wrong with that. Shows you are prepared and does not show you are a hypochondriac.
I think mods tolerate a bunch more than we give them credit for. Still amazed that Ziggers got zapped for calling Chevy a biddybat. I've seen much worse than that - not on here but other threads. PM it to Sassy and see what she says. Me I'd be a poor judge because I don't think I have a filter anymore unless I'm ID'd in public.
I need more coffee.

FBlueBird....with you today, making Lilshit leave her bocce balls at home, they are heavy suckers. Maybe we will take Smaarty wine. I do like good red wine...too much maybe...
Cami, give me hell, girl...
Sas o glow....feeling better? Does this cause fatigue?
TangaRang....hope you are seeing better days....CHEMO SUCKS !
Happy Monday to all.....Wicked was amazing, good dinner & breakfast out...a little shopping in the big city...more golf clothes, my old ones are too big..

Yes, YES! I DID sort of change my name! It is for both of our dogs... Chevy and Lacee... I just loved them so much...
Good JOB Nettie! You are our kind of gal...Ha, ha! I don't see anything wrong with that.... But as you all know, I WOULDn't....
I have seen other threads that post similar pics, so no probs! If we don't hear from you for a long time, we can only assume, what happened....Ha, ha! Don't delete it... I hate being the only rebel around here... I mean with Cammi..... AND Lilshit! SHE is the one! I hope I don't have to add an addition to this DOG house! But I will if I have to! I might add.... I GREW mushrooms that looked just like those! And I took one to work, and the gals could not beLIEVE that! I thought WTH? I'm growing them WILD around here! I took pictures... And they are on the Internet! I do NOT think they are edible, however.... Just an amazing addition to my yard!
