    It is more stressful NOT KNOWING than KNOWING....  Haven't our families learned that yet?

    I can't say enough good about this thread and this site.  I'm coming up on 2-yr this Friday since my diagnosis.  When I lost my mother 14 yrs ago, it took 2 yrs before I could forgive myself for not letting her die at home like she wanted - I took her to the hospital.  The grief I felt then is the same I had after my diagnosis.  But I don't see any end in sight for the grief I'm going through now - although it's gotten "easier", it never quite leaves.  I can say things here I can't even talk to my family about.  I read things here that make me lol, cry, and I feel at home and welcome when I'm here.  You are my friends and you understand when I need cheering up, a kick in the pants, or just a shoulder.  Thanks for being here.

    Hi martha I' just woke up blh I hate when I fall asleep to early.

    OK Granny I had the cigs, u didn't ask u were playing with the tape recorder, but u got everything down--See I never use one, never write anything, don't bring anyone--that's why I never know what's going on and pretty much the way I like it for me. But I dislike whrn my DD's tell me how I feel and why. I have said STFU, but they are used to thst from me soooo no one cares.LOL

    Dr. Friday ick it's like we never stop--there my whine now I'll have some wine.

    Holy crap!  She's back!  Probably been listening to her .... a-hem...TAPE RECORDER!  IN CAPS YET!  GUNS A BLAZIN!  SMOKE COMING OUT OF HER NOSE!  BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK ON, AND THOSE SHOES!!!!!  Ha, ha!   I'll bet you still use a typewriter..... and a wringer washer.  She sleeps in a bunk-bed you know...... 

     

    Ducky, she is after you too... that bitch!  Don't let her get away with it.  Even if she IS having tummy trouble.... Are we the cause??? 

     

    I remember when Princess Kantalope first came on here....  Nothing like she is now....  All sweet and innocent, and just scared to death!  Somehow she "turned".....  and now I can smack her around, and we are just plain "buddies."  She doesn't always know what she is talking about, but when you love someone, you don't care...Ha, ha!

     

    Okay Shady, I see now.... "barn-friends"....  that's like my DH.... He has "bar-friends".....  and then he comes home and acts like a horses-a$$...Is that the same? Wink

     

    Redhead.... Yes, Philly steak sandwiches.... this one place here used to make them with sliced pot-roast.... they were soooo good... Then they changed the bun, THEN the meat, so I don't get them anymore.

     

    Foxey!  I live near old Elitch's in NW Denver.  Now this area is called "West Highlands"... because we are snooty. Wink  These people around here are all in their 30's and 40's... except a few of us old hangers-ons.  I grew up a block away... went to the same schools as our Daughters.  I graduated from North, like my Dad almost did... So we love this area...  Probably because I haven't lived anywhere else, Ha! 

     

    Yes, I think most of us believe in God... or if we don't, that's okay too, but I think everyone believes in a higher power...  It's not okay to swear and use HIS name... but us old Sailors... like little K know how to get around that... but thank GOD for little miss Princess...  who would I tease if she wasn't here?

     

    Miss K... you probably had your mouth washed out with soap so many times that when you opened your mouth, bubbles came out!  

     

    Morning Chabba... nice to see you hear...  you aren't a spy, are you?  You have to talk like us, or we will wonder who you are working for!  My DH talks like his buddies when he comes back from "THE BAR!"  We don't usually talk like this, so this thread is like ditching!  I can cuss and probably even smoke!  Ha, ha!  That is if I didn't quit in 1964.  I think if I took a drag now, my chest would collapse.

     

    Welcome mostly mom!  My Mom died about the same time yours did... And I still miss them....  I'm sorry that you feel that you should have done something different, but we ALL have those feelings.  I think you can forgive yourself now...   I feel bad the way some things were with my family too... but try and just not think about the things that hurt you.  See, I am an old sage... I heard that somewhere... "Old Sage"... that means I must think I know a lot.  But we are your shoulder...  and we're always here.... especially Granny... (Princess Kantalope, Special K)  She has aliases, you know.

     

    Yes Camille, I don't like for anyone to come IN the Doc's office with me either... unless they are helping me WALK!  I felt much better, hearing that I had BC, without my DH in the room... But I ran outside and got him, and had him sit with me, in front of the Doc, and I just sort of said, "I have breast cancerbutwhattheywilldoisdosurgerythenprobablyradiationorsomethingandthenIwillbeokay!"

     

    But it hurts them as bad as it does us, to hear something is wrong with us.

     

    Well okay gals.... it's getting light out...which is actually dawn.... Ha! Going with my Daughter to have our taxes done later... We both use AARP, so it doesn't cost anything... That gives us enough money to buy food.... Ha, ha!  I'm just kidding..... xoxoxo

    Hi everyone, yes today is a much better day, I told my co worker to STFU this morning and it was GREAT!  So all is well in the world for the moment.  Embarrassed my 17 year old, an additional plus.

    Hope everyone else is doing ok, Granny, so sorry to hear about your son, don't let yourself get pulled into the dark.  I know its hard not to though.  Hang in there! Sealed

    Maybe we should plan a Philly Steak eatin'/Book reading/Margarita drinking events for the group...what fun this group would be together!  I'm sure Team Fiesty Fireballs....aka Granny, Chevy, Shady and Sandy could drink Team Loose Cannons under the table...aka me and um...well, whomever else wants to join me....I can't drink alone.  Well, I can and do but would prefer the company.  You are a spicy bunch and I L-O-V-E it! You seasoned gals make me laugh.  Hopefully, seasoned isn't offensive...if it is just tell me and I'll kindly STFU.

    Hi all....sorry I'm so behind but a bit tired as it was my first day back at school since last Friday!!!!



    Granny.....sorry about your son.....one day at a time....keep your healthy UP as you need to be fit for YOUR op. BTW I'm half way through the book and it really is a page turner.

    It kind of helps a little if you grew up in Glasgow but it doesn't take away from the story.

    This is the first book I've been able to focus on since my dx last Feb. I used to be an avid reader till BC struck and then all I could read was F...ing BC info and research papers 😜....so I say BC STFU now and let me read something interesting.



    You guys continue to crack me up ....some of you are feeling a little down or under the

    weather, I'm so sorry!!!!!!....as I said to Granny....one day at a time.....this is my "new normal"....just don't take everything g for granted anymore...luv ya ...❤

    now WTH...oh STFU Christine....no pitty parties allowed here...💃
