    Oh I don't know if anyone wil get this it's one of my odd things, but one of my GF's post about Clooney being engaged to a lawyer sadly. So I told her the "truth" I write under the name Ala Wyer so I should be congratulated, by the time she got that she was "mad" at me hahaha

    Just to share...  If you remember, Skittle is in Arkansas.  The recent tornado outbreak and disaster is six miles from her home.  She is ok, but her daughter lost a friend, a teacher friend lost a son.   Just thought prayers might be in order.  Thanks.

    Hi hermits- oh our dear friend Skittle who has been gone from here for awhile. Terrible news about the losses in her area and of friends and family too. Skittle, we are still here and sending prayers your way if you see this!

    Good morning all ... I don't know what got into me but I got up, grabbed a cup of coffee, and finished some paperwork that was hanging over my head.  It feels great!  Lately, I have been slow to move in the mornings and fast to put off paperwork.

    Hope those of you in the horrible weather path are safe.

    I saw this on FB tonight and think sometimes this is the way we all feel. At the end of the tracks we have known, where do we go next?

    Yes Jazzy, I think that describes how I feel sometimes.

    I have a pot of snapdragons and a pot of cosmos to plant today.  I am experimenting to see which plants our resident squirrels and birds will leave alone.  A sudden freeze may be what gets them, but I am anxious to add color to the yard.

    Sally- you go girl! I got up this morning and planted some geraniums and petunias I got last sunday and have kept on my porch and covered with the cold snap. Finally warming up here enough again to get those in the pots I have for them. Like you, I need more color in the garden. Hopefully now that we are in May, the freeze risk is gone but the weather is off everywhere so who knows?

    I hope the hermit friends here who are dealing with heavy rains and flooding in areas are okay.

    Hi hermits- going off the radar for awhile while I am in my final system go live on my project. Things are underway and weekend duty ahead. I will pop in here when things slow down, and I have space to check in with you again.

    Until then, be well, enjoy the spring and take good care of yourselves!

    Hi! I'm kind of like a hermit too! Can I join you? Since being diagnosed in 2010, I've stopped talking to a lot of people. Can't say it was all my doing, I was told it is hard to be my friend because everyone likes to complain, and they feel like they can't complain about the trivial things to me anymore…I'm ok with that.  I find it hard to keep up too many relationships at once.  I have a handful of friends. My focus is on my family, my 7 year old twin girls, my husband and my elderly mom.  

    I was just diagnosed with a recurrence last week, and I am freaking out.  I really don't want to talk about this with my non-cancer friends, they are sick of hearing it and they don't get it.  My support group friends are terrified because I am living their nightmares so I am trying to be as optimistic as possible with them, they are wonderful people whom I love dearly and I don't want them doubting their own progress and place with this disease.  

    Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

    Jazzy, good luck with the "go live."  You will be missed.

    Welcome Basia.  We will be here for you.

    Jazzy everyone will miss u.

    Basia welcome actually a lot of us have been or still are hermity, it's not so much that u loose friends it seems like u just don't have the energy for everyone so u loose touch and with u, u have u'r hands full with u'r family. I don't do all the things I did before but I'm OK with that I just stay around the people I love the most as often as I feel like it and they understand me, well 1/2 of us have had BC now or some kind of cancer, I'm sorry for them but they do understand. So we understand the feeling of being to ourselves so I hope u join us and feel comfortable here and vent, whine whatever u feel like.

    thanks ladies! feeling the love already :)  Today is going to be a long day. My girls receive first Communion today. I haven't told most of the family about the latest news, so some know and others don't. Hoping the ones that do know don't say anything, it's my news to share, not others to gossip about.  Anyway, thanks ladies and I will be back :)

    Hi Cami.

    Thinking of you Blondie.

    Basia, blessings to your daughters.  I used to envy my Catholic friends because they got to have 1st Communion with beautiful white dresses.

    Teka, wonderfully cute pictures.  Thanks for the smiles they bring.

    Hi everyone, it must be Communion day cuz my kids are going to a Communion party soon So Basia bless u'r little girls for a beautiful day in their lives.

    Blondie I'm glad u have some time to rest or do whatever u can. U've had a rough road to go thru--I hope it gets better.

    Teka I'm the same way, I go out only with special people when I'm up for it or know I can be relaxed--otherwise I'm here.

    I hope everything goes well for Jazzy, she deserves to enjoy her success.
