Hello all! I hope you are all filled with positive energy and love tonight. Glennie, happy anniversary! and, yes, those are the t-shirts they designed for me. Aren't they just precious? Hey Bobo.. good to see you
, M~ I just feel better when I talk to you girlies. Y'all make me smile and remember what's important. Spookie~ you are precious... you sneak away from mama and post anytime *giggle*. O2 I know what you mean about these sisters of ours... they just make ya feel good don't they? Well, just kinda checking in to say, "Don't ever forget your importance in people's lives. Sometimes the smallest thing can make a world of difference!" Much love and hugz.0 -
02, it is worth complaining that the foob isn't right. My first one was wrong and they exchanged it. The companies who make them are pretty good, if you're not happy. It's worth a try! I can wear my size 8's in any of my bras.
Were glad you're here too! I love the way you write with an accent, when you say Y'all, it makes me smile!
I know what you mean about the puppies liking the shaggy rugs. I bought a pure white sheepskin and Dex has decided it is his, he lies flat out on it and sometimes it looks like a polar bear skin with the head, he just blends right in to the fleece.
I decided to get a start on emptying the garden shed ready for the shuffle of stuff going in to Colin's new storage area tomorrow. One of his carers is coming to help me early tomorrow morning, before I go to the Farmers Market. So we should get it at least partly done before the tradesmen start coming on Tuesday. M x

Ariom, glad to hear the word b9.
Spookiesmom what a cutie, and clever to sneak the phone from you too!
JS, good to hear from you, how blessed you are with family, with you for the start of chemo,
O2, my first contact was the wrong size and about three months later the fitter said no problem exchanging it, she said the companies are pretty understanding with us bc gals, ask your fitter and if she doesn't contact the company directly, give it a try, you should be happy with it. Not sure but think they use some that have been exchanged for try ons.
Glennie, one year out! Good job! And good luck.
Wishing Zills a safe trip home, hopefully when she gets some rest she can fill us all in on details of Ireland.
Friend Marilyn is plagued with fatigue, taking a physical and emotional toll on her right now, I am giving her positive thoughts that it will get better in time, but never be the same as it was, just a new normal.
A big hug to everyone!

Forgot to say that Marilyn hasn't lost her sense of humor... Said she hopes to get the drains out soon because they look like "goat testicles" dragging when she would forget to put them in cami pockets! Humor gets us thru a lot ! Told her about the new saying.. Crap on a Chapstick ! She adopted it quickly.
Good night all0 -
ndgirl's. Drains are such a recent memory ! Yuck. My heart goes out to Marilyn. She is just starting this process! I am only 2 months out and sound like a pro ! Haha. Me and my lopsided boobs! The fitter made me sign a paper that said I understood they are not returnable! I tried to wear my swim form but that sucker is heavy and gave me a back ache. But it is a perfect size. The size is right just need fuller. So I ordered fuller one online. Will let you know. The sizing charts for 38 c is one size bigger than what they fitted me for. Tell Marilyn to have fitter not use cupped type bra. Ya know what I mean? I will use this one ok. But not swimming. In suit look too small. I will get this figured out. Foobs and more foobs. Do we still need those puff things???? I will keep them just in case.
Today is Saturday and not a thing to do!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh. Feet up gonna watch the food channel. And cedar cove tonite. Have a blessed day y'all and will holler at ya later.
Love ya too!

Bobo loves goats and hates testicles. Wonder if you just ruined them for her. My goat must have had an abnormality 3 testicles! Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.
Baby asked for panties and promptly peed in them twice! Good thing I switched her to a diaper. Poop city this morning and she are a lot of cheese yesterday.
Knackered but only two loads of laundry. Fridge bare. Kids up at 4 yesterday but 7 today. Rainy both days but not able to settle and nap. Kids did.
Flights were great. Last two hours the natives were restless. Need to pack more snacks as some were contaminated for boy. Did get tea this time at breakfast. None going over:(
Kids fell asleep the last leg from Chicago to lexington. Flight delayed due to weather. Did a lot of walking, jumping, pushing stroller. Dirty looks from one. I could have bitched slapped her but she wisely kept her mouth shut.

Hi All !!
I have been absent trying to focus this summer on getting rid of crap in preparation for the move (hopefully by Thanksgiving ) . OMG I had no ide what this would entail I have lived in the same house for 30 years and stuff is everywhere . I have been recording that disgusting TV show hoarders and watching episodes over and over to keep motivated . The good new is this project has made me focus less on cancer .
Welcome to the new folks (Glenni & Overcoming 1)
Zills so glad you made the trip , the kids will have lifetime memories .
M congrats on the B9 result and glad you are back to shopping !
ND Girl my thoughts are with Marilyn
Bobo LOVED your egg shell advice to SGC !! How are you and the kids
Wren the kittens were adorable , How is Goldie these days
Spookies Mom I love her outfit , ADORABLE
Idesim Happy Late Birthday
SGC - Your granddaughter is adorable. I left my 1st husband the first time I had breast cancer. I really had enough and he was providing zero support (financial or emotional) . It was the right decision for me , but it still sucks
JSJ in your pocket as you start chemo this week
GrammaB How have you been ? Has your daughter been able to get any resolution on the custody front
Octeb how are you ?
Hello to all I have not mentioned .
I believe the last time I posted I had just come back from the ranch and showed you all the wild horses. There has been a new little addition and he is adorable ! (picture below)
Have a great weekend all !!!

Welcome Home Zills! You have been missed! O2, he got that name because, for as long as I have known him he has either windsurfed or had a catamaran. He loves to sail. Fia... cute baby! I am getting everything ready for Tuesday. A bit of stress and nesting going on, but I will get through it
. I am sure once I am through the first round, the following week won't be so nerve racking. Well, just popped in to say hello. Sending love and hugz to all!Stacey

Hello Stacey, lovely to see you here this morning!
Zills is back, can't wait to hear more about the holiday, did the kids want to stay and not leave?
Fia, hello! I know what you mean about the moving, ours was a heck of a big move too. Love the foal!
02, enjoy your relaxing time, you deserve it!
Hi Glennie and Spookiesmom, ndgirl. Hi! sorry to hear Marilyn is so fatigued, I wish her my best!
Freezing cold, wet and windy here today. I got up early to be ready when Colin's carer got here to help me to move stuff into the new storage area. It was all big stuff that I couldn't move on my own. We got most of it squared away and my garden shed is almost done too.
I was going to the Farmers Market with my new friend (Pink Ladies) and Mary (massage therapist) this morning, but the new friend is going for her 2nd last chemo, on Wednesday and didn't want to risk getting chilled, going to the market. I like to get my organic veg there for making Colin's favorite Vitamix soup, but he'll have to put up with regular veg. I will pick my friend up later and we will go out to lunch this afternoon.
Take it easy everyone...M x

it's hard being the newbie,,, you don't realize what conversations have taken place in the past,,,,0 -
Yeah, that's true. Just wait till they get going. I don't have a Vitamix, not in my budget. They sound wonderful though.

ND~ send Marilyn my love and prayers. Hoping that it all starts to go well for her. Glennie~ how's the relaxing going? Just sitting here with the guys enjoying just being. You know, that feeling of contentment that comes from just being together? I have come to realize that I am excited now and ready for Tuesday. It is high time I kicked this Serous Carcinoma in the @$$. It is time to start killing it and time to stop worrying about if it has grown the last month??? I received my scarf in the mail that I had ordered. Operation Stacey on Facebook seems to be going well. I still can't believe my niece and nephew did that.
I have loved that girl since the day she was born. Sailman and I had a class together and we just didn't get along very well. On a cold November morning, he goes running out of class all excited. His niece was arriving. The next day, the picture he brought in to class was priceless. A beautiful angel surrounded by curly hair. Little did I know that I would become her aunt. She is one of my hearts. She was almost 3 when I entered her world and Uncle Bubba and Aunt Stacey's house soon came the place to be. She and her Bubba were always together. She is the mother of my Diva, our angel who just turned one. Her husband is an "outlaw" like me. Sailman's family doesn't have in-laws...I love him as if he were my own.
Another of my girls told me the other night that she is thinking about shaving her head in support of me when I have to shave mine.
I do believe I am truly blessed, what do you think? And on top of all this? I have you my sisters, always ready with a smile and a laugh. Much love and hugz,
Stacey

What's the difference between in laws and out laws?
Out laws are wanted.
0 -
.It is something that started in Sailman's family a few generations back. Just if you marry into the family, you are an out-law instead of in-law. They are a different family that is for sure.. but gosh I love them
And. You are right Spookie, we are wanted that is for sure lol.0 -
Spooks: that is excellent !!Stacey: I'm not relaxing just yet,,,, working this weekend and then vacation starts Monday. Will still climb in tne bag for your chemo. Keep ya company. I'll bring the cookies. Fresh Market makes really good chocolate chip.
Your niece and nephew are just awesome. I love those shirts. Kick some serious Serous @ss!!
0 -
Awwww, that's sweet!!!! I'm stuck with in laws. The upside is they are all a thousand miles from here, don't see them, or have contact. He does, of course.

Glennie,
Bobo is "The Queen of Vitamix " She and M are the reason I bought one and I use it all the time !! You will quickly become an addict . Vitamix should pay Bobo royalties for all the sales she does for them !! :-)

Hi all, in the bag for you JS, I will bring flowers from my garden, dahlias, gladiolas, sweet peas, zinnias, whatever you like, oh heck I will bring them all!! I could bring all my fresh veggies but Bobo and Ariom would whip them all together with their Vitamix
! might be a good soup tho,, peas, beans, potato, zuchinni, onion, snow peas, beets, swiss chard, tomato, cukes... what do you think? We really need a good rain on the garden or it will start to go backwards with this heat. I dont have a Vitamix either, doubt i would use it enough to off set the price.Fia, love the picture of the horses, such a beautiful animal.
I had a pretty relaxing day, did a little in mornng and spent most of the day at the pool in our small town, only our friends with their little gd were there... almost everyone else takes off camping to the lakes, we did that when kids were young but not for me anymore, would rather sit at the nice pool in the sun on a lounger, dive in to cool off and come home! Must be getting old huh?
Just checking in on everyone.. hope Zills is getting adjusted from the time change.

hey y'all I just got a vitamix 3 weeks ago. I got it on QVC for a decent price! They can be terribly expensive. But am excited to start using it. What is the soup recipe? I bought it to help fight this stupid BC. By eating more healthy. Any tips for vitamix welcome. It comes with a great cook book too.

this may be a dumb question: but how is a Vitamix different from other blenders?0 -
I think they can do more. Stronger motor. Restaurants use them. Not really sure lol. I just want to make almond butter lol
