    Heaven forbid! Granny and Ducky are here. Hang on ladies. I will try to go back and do some reading since I am new here but not new to BC. Granny - aka FireKracker wanted me to check out this thread. I've known Granny and Ducky for quite some time and both are lots of fun and good information.

    Actually u have to build up a tolerance for vodka not to have a hangover the next day---so Ducky u have built that up I guess..That doesn't work for meds tho--I can't take some but most I take but I can't take anestesha (sp) and I don't like that either. Of course I had it for my surgeries but each time it just got worse and worse waking me---so now it's like oh u have pain well we could fix this but not for u--LOL So that's why I hermit myself sometimes--well more than I should.


    And Jo I've met u before but of course I don't remember where, or when, maybe it was Venice, or San Marco--don't I wish.


    And Ducky it was turbulance u just let him think that I know u. LOL

    Camilegal - You are also familiar - perhaps it was the South of France? LOL! I haven't been on too many threads lately. Tamoxifen thread, rads thread, dorsi flap, hell, I don't remember either. But hey, we are here.

    Hi hermits- I am meeting deadlines this week so will keep this short. Welcome to all the new ladies here! I love seeing the new names, people inviting other people here. Super nice group of ladies, and my fav thread on this site. We are a fun and judgement free zone. You can let it all hang out here!


    Teka- glad to hear you are okay on all fronts, including A1C. I read somewhere BC increases diabetes possibility in women, so that is why they may be watching. I am going to ask my MO about bc treatment and diabetes linkage when I see him next week.


    Lily- there is nothing going on here that is wrong for you. You are a different person now and you are finding out that some of the things that used to work for you don't anymore. I am making those same discoveries all the time. I find it very hard (if not impossible) to be around people who want to talk about superfacial things, or complain about things I find are just not important. I encourage you to spend time with people and things that work for you and not to worry about the rest. We are the ones who went through all this, not them and it is hard to make people understand. I am not nearly as social as I used to be.


    CC- most of the photos come off sites on FB. Queen of Sarcasm and Hippie Peace Freaks are two favorites!


    Getting some cold rain here today, but otherwise, everything is okay.

    Hi Jazzy, I can't imagine cold rain in NM or what u consider cold rain LOL U'r a busy bee and doing well and u'r adjustments fit u perfectly--Lily it will all come together and think just for u'rself.

    Greetings... Forgive the intrusion, but I've been reading a while w/o posting. At first I thought I'd found a home, but think I'll move on. Have any longer-resident hermits noticed a change lately? The gentle hermitude seems to be fading, and the aggressive taking over. (Like I loved the sweet insights of your little Skittle, but she stopped posting. Likewise Markat and a few others.) If you look back, the hermit's nest has changed. Again, sorry to intrude. I just wondered if anyone had noticed the change in the weather here. Just stopping by.

    Monterey- please feel welcome here. I have been on this site since last Nov and we have some longer term people here like Teka, Cami, Blondie, Skittle, etc. Some people have moved on, they got what they needed from here or may be taking a break. Skittle does still post here from time to time. We try to support one another here, we have a few laughs, we have sad days together too.

  • camillegal
    camillegal Member Posts: 15,711


    Monterey Skittle still posts but she's working so we know she doesn't have the time she used to and Markat works too so we understand and yes we have a gentle side we always have but there's nothing wrong with some laughs either sometimes it's what we need. but if someone is down and feels sad we watch over them completely and yes some people move on because they are not at the same stage they were in and that's a good thing. And some of us are still here, it' not that we don't talk to people it's just that we might still have issues not daily bit in part abut our feelings of being alone and we like it. We're a mixed bag of nits as most are here and most other threads but we still care for everyone coming in and bless them if they ,leave. So of course u do whatever makes u feel good and seek out the right threads for u to share, there are so many.

    I have not been here long enough to judge...."1week is hardly long enough", however the ladies I do know from other threads that are here are the best....."

    Some of us don't post as often, on any thread. I still come back to this one and even though I am not on as often I will often think of you lovely ladies. Hi to JO from tami SE thread.


    Cami, glad you seem to be a bit better again, always worried when you are not posting as much.

    Bgirl u'r so kind, but there are day I don't even feel like posting, just cuz I don't feel well, but It comes and goes with me a lot so I'm used to it and I'm fine with all this. I just like to see u post that's all.

    Hi Everyone,


    My surgery is next wednesday. Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, been busy between appts and going to Lacrosse (wi) last week was busy. I am also trying to get the house in order, my sisters are coming to stay with me a few days,(DH is leaving for hunting) so it gives me a good reason to clean. Cleaning is booring.


    Teka, I am hoping that your diverticulosis gets better. I don't know much about it, have known people with it. Its one of those diseases that can really alter ones routine, and then not always easy to discuss.


    There was discussion about "friends" not being available during out journey. I am working on resolving my dissapointment by just accepting this. It seems like a waste energy to be angry all the time about it. I discovered that some people can even be quite cruel......those types somehow didn't learn compassion growing up....maybe they will have a crisis and will "get it" The good thing that comes out of this cold creeps is that I realize who really does care about me.


    Bounce----last week you requested a link regarding a posting on another site.....the posting was by a person who goes by ispiredbydolce (sp???) The post talked about ways to handle stress and overall emotional turmoil.....sometimes taking a break from these boards, doing something good for yourself. For me, I watch the flock of birds at my feeders, they seem so happy, as if they are having a party. When I am struggling, its an hour by hour deal. Sometimes I just need to get out of my head, and go shopping, cook or read. I would like to somehow get into a routine of coming on these threads. THe only time it is hard, is when someone passes......


    I have learned so much, and sometimes it is crazy how I can't seem to get a straight answer about things from my onc, but then come on here and I get the help I was looking for....Oh and there have been many times when I was busting a gut reading a funny post, or seeing a cool picture.... I hope everyone has a good weekend....Lori

    Lori.....3 years in Feb 2013 for me........when everyone else (all well meaning family and friends) went on with (life as usual).....these wonderful ladies got me through the (no everything is not ok days).


    How wonderful is it to have "best friends", yet if they passed you on the street you would not know who they were..........that is why I come back each day........

    Cami, Love back at ya! Been taking a course called "The Healing Journey", Meditation, etc. Lots of interesting conversation on dealing with our own thoughts as well as with others .... this week was "letting go of resentments". People with all sorts of cancers and at different stages both in the their cancer and their healing/acceptance.


    I always come back to this thread. whether funny, sad, happy, worried, lol .... it doesn't matter ... most are gentle here, especially compared to some other threads .... I know that people are being real and genuine with each other. I do think of you all ... I imagine Markat having a great time with her girls, Jazzygirl standing up for herself at work, our teachers imparting their knowledge to others, your love of the world, whether with animals or birds or flowers, Cami's fun pics .... the support and compassion that is there for those who are having a tough time or going through treatment ... I always think of the amazing bunch of women I have "met".
