Proud, Stevie Wonder sounds awesome, but we were committed to a graduation party for the daughter of an old friend. She's 21, mentally disabled, and has just finished school and is now transitioning to a program that will train her to be a food service worker. She has come a long way from two decades ago, when her parents realized that something was terribly wrong with her development.
Lucy, DH turned up. Stuck on the subway, no cell service.
Octogirl, I'm with you on the waiting. Had a PET scan last week, trying to decide whether to call and find out results or wait 'til Friday when I see the surgeon and the oncologist who's covering for mine, who's on vacation. Dunno. I keep going back and forth.

rain, like you, I always go to crazytown when my man is late too. Or when he rides his bike in LA traffic without a helmet. I worry, cause he is the greatest thing that happened to me, well, besides my mother giving me life! I just still adore him, after 15 years, he still interests me! I am afraid i wouldn't find life worth living if I lost him, so I am finally also happy, he got his very 1st cellphone ever! just a couple months ago. His truck can call me!
Slo!!! I didn't know we had a newspaper! Superb! I will try and come back later and fix my lazy typing... going to his sisters beach house, for a couple days... it's just too hot here. No air con

Slow. HaHaHa 😃
Rainnyc.. So glad your hubby turned up safe and sound.
Tomboy.. I feel exactly the same about my hubby.. We've been together since I was 14 and he was 15.. ( I've recently turned 56) .. and I just love, love him still.!

I am so happy, in that kind of weird tilted way, that one can be happy to find a place where CRAZY TOWN can be understood.
I am relatively 'new here' and in fact have a PET?CT scan at 7 am tomorrow. Suladog I can relate to the sciatica 'cancer' thought, as my left sciatic nerve has been screaming on and off for the last 6 weeks. I am just 9 weeks post surgery ( via laser) and also still have some tenderness around the sternum and odd, random, shooting pains around surgical area. Although my sane mind knows I am still healing, my crazytown mind goes to town!
Beyond that I am creating all sorts of stories about false/positives and just getting pulled down the rabbit hole of one waiting room ( in the mind or otherwise) after the other.
My partner is so supportive and patient and so are my few dear friends, but at moments like these it's hard for them to get that 'slow deep breaths' are hard to do at times.

Thinking of all of you waiting on those results. And the test itself. Welcome, gaia!
Sula, thanks for the nice instructions. I might try this any day now. Having just moved I can't account for the exact location of my cheesecloth at the moment

Sula- that tart. Oh my god.

SlowDeepBreaths, yes pain sucks! I've had a chronic pain condition for 18 years with no cure in sight. I try not to let it hold me back or get me down (with an occasional pity party thrown in) as I hope there is plenty of life left in me still. Mind you cancer has already bitten me twice though I'm not giving in that easily! Maybe all my painful joints are really cancer!! Certainly all the pain drugs do little or nothing. Actually it's amazing I have any sanity left at all

Katy, those tomatoes look so inviting. Whenever I come to our thread, I get so hungry. I think we have some pretty good cooks on this thread. I love cannolis!! They have them at my local Italian store, and I buy them once a year at Christmas. Glad to hear your brother didn't need brain surgery.
Sula, That is one smart parrot. That story cracked me up. Yes, I think you are right....he does seem jealous. I'm impressed your mother was able to sit that way into her 90's. I really wish I could get some of my range of motion back. The homemade ricotta looks yummy!! I buy it at my local Italian store, but they charge an arm and a leg for a small amount. I never thought about making my own. I will try it for sure. Thanks for the instructions - with pictures too!! I guess I'm not a very good Italian...shame on me!!
PTS, hahaha....I would visit your neighbor!! Homemade ravioli is so good!!
Rain, when you started your story, I immediately thought of his circulation being cut off!! That must have been scary for him. You'd think they could have figured that out before putting him through all those tests. Hope your enjoy your party tonight. Tough decisions to know or not to know. I would have wanted to know yesterday. I have no patience.
Octogirl!! hahahahaha......Good story!! Gave me a good chuckle!! Let us know how your tests come out.
Tomboy, maybe we need a monthly Crazy Town newspaper??? hahaha That would be an excellent distraction!! I hope you both have a great time at the beach! Great way to beat the heat. As you know, I also could not imagine a life without my DH. I wouldn't want to be with a man without a good sense of humor. Thankfully, mine keeps me laughing.
Gaia, Welcome to our thread!! Pull up a chair and sit for awhile. You've found a great group of women here....all very different and equally interesting!! Love them all!
Suzy, Gentle hugs to you. I can't believe the nasty beast has gotten you twice. Great attitude! I hope you can get some laughs here. Helps to keep your mind off of chronic pain. Having no sanity makes you a perfect candidate for our thread!! hahaha0 -
Thanks Slow. Feeling like I 'should' try to rest as I'll leave my place at 6 am for the test..... making all sorts of Cray-Town stories that things are developing as I type...
Even when I sign off tonight I will for sure be back. Glad to see the food pics here. I actually have a food/life ( sorely unattended right now) but check it none the less. http://rasalife.com/
I'm still figuring things out on this site, but definitely really appreciate this thread.
Thanks ladies

Good luck tomorrow gaia!! Please let us know how it goes!! Oh boy....I think I'm going to get really hungry reading your blog!!

Thank you Octogirl. Hoping once some pieces of this current puzzle become more clear that I'll get back to regular posting. But I am also feeling called to start another blog about the journey and even start a small class ( I am also a yoga practitioner/teacher for over 20 years) around movement /healing space for ladies in NYC/BK.... more to come
First Tomorrow. One. Day (moment/second) At. A. Time.

Thanks Slow and I've also had a few belly laughs over some your posts ( on your blog-that is your blog?) tonight
Making a pact with myself to turn in by midnight. Will keep you all posted.

gala .. Welcome to Crazy Town..Thinking of you having your tests tomorrow.. Your blog looks great.!!
Slow.. Ha..What a great way your father had of entertaining the grand -kids !! Its a wonder the kids didn't manage to get a tooth or two out for the tooth fairy!! Seriously.. Booger Cancer is the worst cancer of all ! 😱
Suzy.. Sorry you have been through so much.! 18 years of chronic pain is way too much.. not to mention the cancer.. :-(

Gaia,
Welcome to crazy town!!! Hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow and I'll be checking out your blog.
Suzy,
I'm also doing round two with cancer, sorry you're having to deal with pain too
Tomboy,
I know how you feel about your man, my husband and I have been together since he got out of college. He's two years older than me and I always kid that I picked him up when he got off the bus in Hollywood. I am so glad he doesn't ride a motorcycle. He's got 40 stitches in his hand from a bike accident he had two months before we got married. When he fell off his bike in our driveway in Santa Monica and cut it open on a sprinkler head
Slow,
I'm Italian on both sides so I still act like my fathers mom and my mother used to call me Zita every time I would do something too Italian
So glad Crazy Town now has a newspaper... Can I be food editor
Just found this and had to share it here
0 -
Sula, sounds like a great way of getting some special treatment! I may try that on certain folks who I could use a favor from, Dang but that looks good
I do my own greek yogurt by straining reg stuff, it is so much better than the store stuff

Crazy Town Residents,
Reading some of these posts... I got a story that might fall into crazy town... I haven't been diagnosed. They found atypical cells in my cytology of nipple discharge, and I'm waiting for my appointment with a surgeon on Thursday (8/20) before I know my my next step is. I have already had the diagnostic mammo and u/s.-- they said it's just fibroglandular tissue, but... i have a palpable lump that is sore. They have ruled out cysts and infection. So, we will see. Anyhow, my crazy town starts at the point I notice 2 swollen lymph nodes in the center of my chest (between the sisters)... and my boyfriend noticed them too. I started googling lymph node locations to see if there are even lymphs in that area, and yes they are. I can't find anything other than BC that relates to the intermammary lymph nodes being swollen... then the worst news came. My bf has lung cancer. This causes medialsternal lymph swelling (also located in center of chest)... so now I'm paranoid that I have lung cancer too. I am having shortness of breath and... I have had melanoma before... which mets to the lungs. I'm a mess.... On top of that, I am having racing heart (anxiety)... I need to see someone... I'm going to stress myself to death. ~Angie

Tomboy, sounds as if you have a wonderful man. Well, except for the part where he rides his bike without the helmet. That would drive me crazy. Mine was just running late and caught on a slow subway.
Good luck with the scan, Gaia.
Lotta food obsessives here, I'd say. Including me.
0 -
count me in as another food obsessed person, and I'd be even more so if I lived somewhere that actually had good restaurants (like Sonoma or NYC ....). Not that I've felt like going out all that much since arriving here in Crazy Town...
I would be happy to write the political editorials for the paper. I promise not to offend too many people some of the time..
Welcome to Crazy Town, Huronite. Waiting is the worst...

Angie, well you have a lot on your plate so deep breath, a bit of yoga helps me during times like that
stay busy till your appts come up and remember that the BC site is a huge source of info should you need it
best wishes for getting our of Crazy town soon

Good Morning Crazies!
Well, the time has finally arrived. My niece and her boys are flying home today to Wisconsin. My DH and I will be taking them to the airport. I'm going to miss them all. Even though I'm totally exhausted, I've really enjoyed their visit and wish they didn't have to go back. I forgot what a great distraction having two small boys around can be. I don't think I visited Crazy Town once when they were here.
gaia, thinking of you today. Yes, that IS my blog. I haven't had much news to post, so it's been awhile since I've been there. I'm guessing this new round of testing will find me there. I find it much easier to update the blog, rather than repeating info to each family member and friend. I'm glad it gave you a few laughs.
Sula, you can absolutely be food editor!! Perfect job for you.
Octo, I hope we can make the political editorials Crazy Townish!!??
Tomboy, I think you'd be perfect for the Crazy Town artwork!!??
PTS, Maybe you can do the exercise/yoga column!!??
Anyone else have any special skills to contribute??? It would be funny to do something like the Onion, except with all crazy BC content. What a blast we could have!!
Angie, Welcome to our thread! Sorry to hear about your BF. Sending best wishes for your upcoming appointment. Please let us know how it goes when you can. You may want to ask your doctor for something short term to help with the anxiety. Gentle hugs to you!
I guess I better jump in the shower and get ready for my 5 hour round trip to the airport. Jeesh....I could drive to Vegas in that amount of time!!
Love to all!!

Octo,
I live in Sonoma! If you're ever out here hit me up!
My knee cancer seems loads better this morning, just came back off the trail with the dog.
Anyone here know what happens if you take two arimidex by mistake. I can't remember if I took one before i went out this morning...why not put them in a pill case you ask???? Because I spent two years filling my moms pill case for her ovarian cancer and pill cases make me crazy. Makes no sense...but still.
Is this going to make me turn into a man or something by 3:00 this afternoon????

Slow,
what happens at the airport..stays at the airport!

Angie,
you are in the right place..this is the spot to let all the crazy worries and fear and what all out. You're in good hands with this bunch.
0 -
Angie-Welcome. o sorry about your plateful of shit. We are here if you need us.

think it takes many more of the AL to turn you into a man but likely good to keep an eye out!

Well, I am back........this could be a novel, but first let me say I love my grandchildren in Chicago, and would not ever get on another plane if they moved closer then a 14 hour drive........enough about that............
This trip was at night, as I might hve mentioned....a 9pm flight out of Philly Internaional....needless to say I was apprehensive........all ws going pretty good....the liftoff was ok (I guess, but not sure since I was too busy saying Hail Mary's a;nd Our Father's), and had my eyes clothes repeating "OMG".....till I noticed a little boy abut 12 staring at me, so I just smiled back.......
The ride was bumpy, but I was doing ok, until the Pilot came on and said "It is going to be a bumpy ride approaching Chicago, but I will get you there on time"......."Please make sure your seatbelts are on, do not remove them, and secure all your belongings"..................the lightning was all around us, it was pouring rain, and all I kept saying was "Oh Shit".......well we landed "thank you Jesus"........
Like the plane ride was not enough, we get a cab from Midway to my Grandson's home.......again, lightning, pouring rain, thunder......OH MY..........we manage to get a driver that can barely see over the steering wheel........checking the direections on his GPS..........driving liike he was in competetion at the "Indy 500", ..................not sure which was worse.......The plane ride or the cab ride.............
Went to Arli'ngton Race Track......with all experienced betters....................they all came away losers........I won $104.00........LMAO.....they didn't talk about it much.......HAHA.......
We left last night and the forecast was for thunderstorms...........of course I started worrrying about that on Sunday night when they gave the first weather report........
It was hot as hell, becaue my grandsons a/c broke on Sunday night, and we had to tough it....not too bad, but yesterday was brutal.....sweat our asses off getting ready to head to the airport.....................
Since a ride in another cab would have been $30.00 and another $30.00 for my grandaughter and her fiance they decided to do Uber, or whatever the hell that thing is called.................
My grandson ordered a XLS which inChicago means more seating........we were 5..........when Chitty Chitty Bang Bang got to the house it was a small gray looking excuse for a car that could barely hold 5 people..................my grandson is livid yelling "WTH, this is not what I paid for, while my daughter is yellig "Mom get the hell in the car we will make the best of it"........I'm thinking "Hey mouthy....yell at the idiot who is telling you in some other language and has only 4 seats for 5 people.............
Ready for this..........now we get in the car........my grandson in law is in the fron.......in the back is my daughter, me, son-on-law.....and my grandaughter sitting on the lap of my daughter all the way to Midway Airport....the window on another Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are open........"all windows"..........my daughter says to the driver...................EXCUSE ME.......CAN YOU PUT THE A/C ON........HE SAYS.........IN WHATEVER LANGUAGE HE SPEAKS.......NO A/C............while he is reading his phone which is telling him how to get to Midway Airport...............
Now I digress.........since there are only 2 airports in Chicago......how the F can you not know the way to both if your a taxi driver, and my grandson lives "downtown Chicago"..........
We get to the airport "alive".....only to find out our plane which is suppose to take off at 10:05 pm Chicago time........is sitting at the gate in St. Louis, Mo..........and it is 9:30 pm.......all this bullshit only after I got stopped becaue of my LE sleeve................and there was no one at security who was ready to check me............finally they take me to a spot.......use 2 things that look like a gauze wipe, and rub it on both my hands.............then said "ok your good"........now at 80 do I look like a terrorist.........
Well we finally boarded after 1 hour delay........and the fliight back was worse then the flight to......then the pilot says "Ladies and gentlemen....please do not remove your seat belts until I tell you its ok......we might experience a bumpy flight out of Chicago, but in Philly it is calm and 80 degrees...............Did he really think I gave a f--k what the weather was like in Philly when I am watching "hell" going on outside the airplane window.............
Did not get home to my front door till 3:30am...........why you ask...............well the luggage return got stuck a couple times which stopped it from moving.......and then the "bus" to the overnight parking area tooik 15 minutes to get to the arrival area to take you to the lot..................
Even with all the bullshit it was a nice time.............all I needed to do was to eliminate the 2 flights......the shitty cab ride.......and the delay.........and it would have been perfect...............this is my 3rd and only 3 flights in my life........each one is getting more "hairy"..........
Bottomline.......hate flying at night............hate bumpy rides...........and storms.......
Oh a footnote.....did not find out till I got to airport security that my "driver's license" had expired which of course was my "picture ID"...............my daughter threw a ram, said if my son-in-law found out he would kill me............read me the riot act, and then said "If they don'tt allowyou through security I will put your ass in a cab, and you will be going back home"......................:and I will not go with you"...........LOL......I got through without them noticing, but I had my license, just not the picture ID.............the was shitting my pants coming home at Midway hoping I would get through there......thank God I did...............however, my grandson-in-law got told by the security agent who checked him....."You realize you only have 1 month left on your picture ID before it expires, you better get that renewed".............LOL missed that guy by a hair........................I guess Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were feeling sorry enough for me having to deal with my daughter, so they got me through........LMAO........
Said it was a novel.......hugs...glad to have my feet on the ground......
