Kymn, have a blast on your time away and thanks a heap for that parting gift! Sorry, I don't have anything to offer on sports bras (ha ha, first typed SPORTS BAR) Chear up Kathy, mom will be back soon. I just hope she doesn't get too down when she gets home, but I am certain she will be glad to see your dad. Glad to hear Stella is going to visit her family. I will be visiting mine mid next month. Stanzie and DorK, you two are sure having a time with the boob under the arm. It's not right, we have a right to be whole and the insurance companies should cover it. Pisses me off. Stanzie, The Help was really good eh? When we went to the movies last week, there was a rather large line of seniors. Every one of them walked up to the window and said "2 for The Help, senior discount". DH and I were laughing. I think we might go see Crazy Stupid Love this week. I hear ya on the changes we go through because of BC. IT SUCKS! NM, I sure hope you get to see some good shows in Vegas. Kathy is right about the Cirque shows. We saw Zumanity, I would go see it again. I have seen Blue on tv, they are pretty awesome, I loved them. Oh my dear Beans...........I am so sorry about your DH. Is this something he has been hiding or did it just come about? I hope you both are able to work it out. Please come here if you need a shoulder. I am sure you are just beside yourself. I have HUGS for you as well.

Changed? I think that is inevitable -- bc survivors or not. But I think we are all changing in a positive way. Personally, I know that I think more about how I spend my day. I demand some quality of life in every day, even when I have obligations (and reality) that do not allow me to do exactly what I want to do all the time. I like to think I am becoming my best self. Beanie, you are a wonderful, fun, caring person -- those things will never change. I'm so sorry that you are having a bad experience... I'm feeling very sad for you. But I know that no matter what happens, you will be Beanie when it is over and that is a very good thing.

Wahine-I'm sure charging for oxygen is already happening, it's just buried in the ticket price and fees, somewhere! Although, they may start charging separately some day! I don't fly enough to make a reward program work, my points all expire between trips. I don't mind paying a little more to upgrade when I can, though. I was able to do that once, and was so tired I slept the entire (short) trip and didn't get to ‘enjoy' the special treatment!
DorK-I hope the drain comes out before your trip, but if not you can always tell the TSA that they can look at the drains if they have a surgeon and OR standing by to replace it if they pull it out. . . . Wonder how they would react to that? Good idea to get everything done that you can while the out of picket is paid up! And I'm in for happy hour-all day long! I've got numbness, tingling and now pain in both hands, my PCP thinks it's carpal tunnel from arimidex, the onc says it's not treatment related since I didn't have chemo. I was hoping to last out the rest of arimidex before having to have a bunch of tests or anything done, not sure I'm going to be able to as my ability to type and do things is being affected more and more. Don't really want any more surgery, don't even want any testing, just want to stop hurting. But with changing insurance in June, I'm no where near the cap, and the company is going self insured next Jan, so no more cap unless I can find another health insurance plan, which is very hard in Maine. Oh well. Did someone say happy hour????
Stanzie-It is so hard to deal with less than a good outcome. It seems to me that it should still be covered under the federally mandated coverage for surgery to create symmetry after bc surgery. Maybe you should talk to someone at the American Cancer Society? I think if you pushed it would be covered.
Claire-glad the ankle is mending! How long before ski season there? I know what you mean about pain interfering with sleep. Not fun.
Beanie!! Come to the chapel with me, and we will petition God together for relief, or at least for peace for you! Sorry things are sad for you, and I will keep you on my prayer list.
Wahine-your mom sounds like a lively travel partner! I don't know anything about scotch, can't hel p you there. I bet your mom is pretty funny when she gets a little tipsy, but I'm sure the flight attendants will take good care of her!
DorK-thanks for the bra suggestions. I'll be checking them out. Haven't worn one since recon, but it might be nice to have a couple pretty ones. I'm not even sure what size I take anymore! Gonna have to get fitted.
Beanie-good heavens, DH thinks you have changed?????? Uh, has he been seeing what you've been through?????? I'll have the tenders fill up one of the dwinky fountains with whiskey for you!

Good Morning Girls! Lori, yay, glad you posted early as I missed hearing from you yesterday (or did I miss a post?). Nice that you and your DH go to movies a lot. SOON you will get the anticipated "senior discount" too...LOL. We use it whenever possible! That, as well as the military discount, esp at Home Depot and Lowes...DH retired from civil service, and that counts too.Nice words and nice visual for our dear Beannie. Oh, and I cracked up over you first typing "Sports Bar" for Kymnie! Maybe she would like that too...lol. Have a wunnerful day!
Stanzie, do you have any anti-d's? If not, that can help take the "edge" off, when things get too much. I agree with Gail, that change is inevitable, not only with bc. And I like how she is trying to change in positive ways! Hard to do though, when the whole world feels like it is falling in on you. You have had a LOT of stuff happening, so it is normal to feel overwhelmed by it all. Glad you will spend some time swimming and then helping your music director. You seem to get a lot of happiness being around talented people, and I know you will have a good day,because of that! Is there anything you can do (if you have time, that is), as far as more volunteer (or paid) work, with any theatre or music venues? I sort of thought you did that already, but not sure. You are so talented with music, and I wonder if that would bring you more happiness if you could do more of that? I know it is hard to do while raising kids, esp a special needs kid, BUT I am hoping you can start doing more things for "you". Even if its just a few minutes in a bubble bath or something. Just something thats totally for you.
Beans, Hoping today is a better day. I know this is so very hard, and wish there was something we could do to help. We are all here for you, girlfriend! Please don't be a stranger here, regardless of what is going on in the "real" world. We can help each other. (((hugs)))
My dad was disappointed, as when my mom returned, she was so tired, and just went to bed (got home from airport b4 5pm). He had a lot of hawaiian kaukau (food) for her, but she wasn't hungry and had a headache....told him she just had "one" drink on the plane, but wonder if she had more, and forgot? She had been very tired the past few days, and didn't want to do much, so I should mention that to him. Hoping she wakes up happy, and not sad! Thanks for all the support, girls, it meant a lot to me. Lori, will you be seeing your mom next month? And your DD? SO glad DorK will be visiting her parents real soon, too. Karen, are your parents doing okay? I think they were having problems, too, with getting older.
Happy TWOOOSE-DEY! Glad to know what a "twoonie" is, Kymn...I was wondering if it was the $2 coin. SO cute to have "loonies" and "twoonies"! (It is Canada that has the loonies, right?).
Hugs to all who need it,
Kathy

Oh, I bumped into ya, NM! LOL at ALL the funny pics, I really did laff out loud! Loved the "classes" of flying, happy hr, dentures in the butt, etc. Sooooooo good to have a nice laff this morning! Sorry to hear about all your pain; I didn't know about that. And here you spend all that time on the puter to bring a smile to our faces....while in pain. You sure are a sweetie! Even your DOTD was funny, about needing that chaser! My mom doesn't ever drink enuf to get tipsy. When we were at the vip bar in the casino and they make very strong drinks, she stopped at 2, cause her head started spinning! Usually she has 2 very weak drinks a night, so anything stronger, just either gives her a headache, or dizzy. Good advice to Stanzie to call the Am Cancer Soc, and to keep persuing this.
Stanzie, Have you tried taking benadryl along with melatonin at night? My mom's dr told her she could take that, when she needed to. Benadryl is over the counter, too.
OK, Pants, Jocks, Wenches, whomever is at the bar today....puleez make an entire bar-full of the "Beanie Lifter Uppers"....and keep em coming. I think we all might want to drink that today, for our dear Beannie.
Ciao, Kath

OH Beanie I was felt so sad reading your post I am so sorry you are going through this. You might all remember what a $#@% head my DH was during the first part of my treatment. I still wonder now if we are going to make it. So many things have changed and I just dont want to put up with any crap. I dont know why some men are just so darn selfish, why on earth wouldnt you change, and you will change again and again jeez its the life process isnt it. I am pulling up my bar stool to sit with you , I think in silence just having a drink together and trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
It is raining
still... Maybe it is not one of those showers that is here one minute and gone
the next, as I had so boldly assumed. Maybe none of them are. After all, life
in itself is a chain of rainy days. But there are times when not all of us
have umbrellas to walk under. Those are the times when we need people who are
willing to lend their umbrellas to a wet stranger on a rainy day. I think I'll
go for a walk with my umbrella.

ParkBeanie come sit under our umbrella, we love you
Thanks to all the advice on the bra's ladies, I have to get some work done but will try and pop in this afternoon.
Hugs Kymn

just one more thought
That's the
risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like
the new you. But other people who do will come along.

Very insightful words, Kymn! Sorry your DH is still not being supportive and good to you. I can just picture you and Jeannie Beannie sitting under that umbrella, holding hands, and giving each other support and comfort. Hoping things will go better for both of you! Maybe they should have their separate homes and can visit like DorK's DH does? Nah, I know that is not always possible, but wouldn't that be ideal! Hugs to you both (((Kymn))), (((Beans)))

Kymn, very beautiful quotes......I especially like the umbrella one. Sorry to hear things are a little shaky still with you and yours. What the hell is wrong with these men? My friend here in AZ, the one I mentioned earlier, her husband left her after treatment, and then found out he had something wrong (I forget what) I believe he was even in a wheel chair, and came to her looking for sympathy. Needless to say, he didn't get it!
Gail, such sweet words from you. Yes, Beanie will always be Beanie....and that IS a GOOD thing.
NM, that drink sounds like something our little Ms Beans would put on her Salminellos! And a reason to bring in our Fire Fighters. Wowsers, a person would only have to drink 1 of those to catch a buzz (....or look for the nearest comode)! Sorry about that carpul tunnel.....SHOOT! My DH had that surgery, but now the way the do it, seems so simple. I get tingling in my hands too, but I am on a computer most of the day, so can't really blame the Arimidex. But I am told it is the cause of my high cholesterol
RW, I don't blame your mom for being tired. That is one long day. Glad she made it home ok and I hope she is able to get rested. Yes, I will be seeing my mom, my son, my brothers and a few friends..........but not my daughter
. She thinks they may go to Michigan for Xmas, but wasn't positive, depended on their funds. Which I would have waited to go then, so I could see her, but if she is not sure, then I would much rather go when the weather will be a bit more pleasant. Plus I could not leave my DH alone on a holiday.0 -
I would just like to mention that it was a year post chemo when it all realigned for me and I really had my edge back. So just three months ago.
I don't think I was that testy, but I did need time to process what had happened. And I think I was quite into myself. Exercise saved me, and I did cycling events even though not at full energy.
But I wouldn't have been able to keep up with the group I cycled with last weekend a year ago. And couldn't even prior to diagnosis. I really am stronger than ever now.
So hang in there Beans and Kymm. It really does get better. - Claire
p.s. You might try some honey with your DH's too. I am sure you can think of something.,,,,beer, BBQ, cake, lingerie. Make them feel special.

Hey girls,
It is happy hour on the east coast, who's in?
NM, sawry to hear you are also having issues with your hands. Thanks for the great funny post. As Wahine said, there is nothing as great as reading your posts and seeing the pics you found; you are amazing. I was also lmao.
Kymn and Beanie, I hope your DH's come to their senses soon. You girls are also in my prayers. In the meantime, just hang with us. We will always stand by you as we ARE a sisterhood.
Lori, loved the humbrella pic (another Jessicaism, a word my DD used when she was widdle)!
Stanzie, I hope you enjoyed the time with your choir director. I love your new avatar, would love to see it enlarged. You look gorgeos, was this taken at your home? Love the back ground as well, very pirty!
Hello to the rest of my friends. Were is Karen? Have not heard a peep for a few days or I am too drunk to notice? And Kristy? I know Chrissy B is biddy (buzy) packing for her big USA tour de Chrissy, yippy! Hoping all of you gals are well and happy!
I am sitting here on my favorite bar stool, Pants bring us a round of the Beanie Upperlifter, whoa doze ARE strong dwinks. Me might need help getting off dis bar stool. Drink up girls!
Cheers, Beers and no Fears, kk?
Tits up, everybody now!

Joining you girlz in case anyone is still here dwinking! Just got home from stained glass class, so have to have happy hour (and popcorn for dinner), and its almost 10pm! My project is going well....had to cut lead, grind some glass down, put it all together, SOLDER, then mud it, then sawdust it, then clean it, then steel wool it. Next week I just have to wax it, sign it and get a picture taken. WooHoo!!! I call my DH on the way home, so he has a dwink ready! My mom just called...said she missed hearing my voice. I said why didn't you just stay here!!! The trip was so long, doesn't sound like she wants to do it again for awhile.
Yeah, where is Karen??? Beans, drop in again! HD, wish you would come on back. And CasinoGirl, hope you are feeling better today! Will be nice meeting you, soon. Yeah Gail, how far away is your DD going, for school? Will be a sad day tomorrow! My youngest DD went to a Math & Science High School, 6 hrs away, so when I left her at 15, I took a pic of her sitting on her dorm bed...boy was that ever hard for me!
Happy Hour has no limits!!! Dwink up!

DD is going to San Francisco which is about 90 minutes away. There is public transportation in the city so she will not be taking a car. The idea is that she should stay on campus and study so even though it is fairly close, she would have to catch BART (rapid transit trail system) and then a bus to get home (or call Mom) which takes more like 3 hours. I have a client in the city and go up about once a month, or can pick her up at the BART station near other clients' offices that I go to almost daily. I took the youngest (14 then) to a summer program in southern Cal last year and left her for a month -- that was really hard because she was about 10 hours away and we just texted a lot cuz she doesn't like to talk on the phone. We had fun sending her care packages though. She is doing better today but I think she is realizing she will miss her friends, especially the boyfriend she tried not to get too attached to. She has wanted to be a city girl all her life but I think she'll still be a little homesick. I'm not sure how different it will be for me as we don't see her that much since she started working, plus she's always had a busy social life... It will be weird falling asleep without worrying about what time she will come home! I can never fall into a deep sleep until I hear her keys in the door. And the younger one just turned 16 and is wanting to gert her driver's license so we probably won't see much of her either. Waahhhh! At least I have WD & corgi & tiggercats to keep me company.

Quick pop in - Whew I'm totally exhausted but at least we didn't get blown up.
As I arrived at my choir director's home and guy who was digging hit a main gas line! I mean a huge gas line! It took the gas company almost 2 hours to arrive - HUH? the firetrucks and police were there within minutes. Anyway, they are both disabled, both in wheelchairs and have two cats - oh did I mention they didn't want to leave?? The police said they couldn't make them leave but they strongly advised leaving.... so I stayed with them and kept running out talking to the police. The nurse/housekeeper was just terrified - finally the police let me out to take her to the bus station and he stayed with them till I got back. I don't know if he hit a water main also but whatever was shooting up about 20 feet in the air and the smell of gas was tremendous in the house! Anyway, just got home and i have a wretched head ache so going to bed...... 1st day to buy school books!
Kymn and Beanie - Hang in there! We all love you both and are here for you!
NM- Oh I just hate hearing you are in pain!!! not good at all
Kathy- I know I get tired on a 2 hour plane trip so I can imagine your Mom must be tired going that long way.... Hope she feels better tomorrow and is back to her old self!! Ok, guys gotta crash.... oh Dork- you are so sweet! That picture is in front of my house it was in 2008 at the party I had at my house for my choir director's 80th birthday! It is kinds hard to see isn't it? Thanks All.....

Wahine-can you get a copy of the pic of you and the stained glass and post it here? I'm really curious to see the lovely creation!
AStorm-Thank goodness for furbabies that never grow up and start driving!
Stanzie-WOW! Glad you're ok! Yikes! Kind of the policeman to stay with the couple while you ran the nurse/housekeeper to the bus stop.
The shoulder pain started last week and isn't getting better, and has gotten me kind of scared. I have an appointment with the PCP in 2 weeks, and with the onc the week after, going to talk to them both. Seems like one or the other will do something to figure out the cause. Of course, I'm thinking mets, even the the likelihood is low. Could use some prayers!

Good morning ladies,
Yikes, Stanzie, sounds like your evening did not quite go as planned - to say the least. And why on earth would it take the gas company hours to get to the location when lives are at risk? Damn, that ticks me off. I am glad you were there with them for this. You are so sweet to take such good care of them. They sound like wonderful folks. And of course I can see your pic, it is widdle but I hit control/+ on my PC and can zoom it up a bit. I can see your beautiful physique and pretty hair and also the colors in the background along with the french door in the back ground. It just looks so charming!
Aw, NM, I will be praying for you too. I am sure it is not bone mets. I often have terrible pains in a variety of places. Last year, I had this wicked pain in my upper back that seemed to go on forever. I got BC and that pain went away. I also went through a period years ago that when I woke up, I had terribly screaming pain in my shoulder. These are just things that happen as we get older. Please don't worry your sweet head over such silly thing. Yeah, easy for me to say. Just tell yourself "I am heathly, I am at my best" and this too shall pass. I love ya doll, give yourself a break. And I am lmoa at your comment "thank God fur babies never drive", I will drink to that one!
Gail, that sounds like a perfect plan and very close to what I have going on with my one and only child. She is at Arcadia University which is only about 45 minutes away. She is close enough to come home on weekends if she wants to. I know that feeling of waiting for them to come in late at night. My DD is still home and I leave the front porch light on and can see it from my bed. I will keep waking up until I see that light go out as that is how I trained her. One night last week, I woke up at 2am and she was not home. I called on her cell and she said that she would be home soon. It will be an adjustment for her. I hope that your 16 year old does not miss her sister too much as they are close in age and I assume very tight.
Kathy, glad you enjoyed the stained glass class. You sure know how to keep busy. I would also love to see a pic of your completed art work. And how sweet that you call your DH and have him have a drink ready for you. I have often had DH do that for me after a hard day of work. I would call and say have one ready and make it strong! He would put it in the freezer and it would have a layer of ice on top, yummmmy. So nice that your man spoils you like that.
I have a 10:15 dentist appointment today. I am getting two crowns on my teeth and I was surprised that my shittay insurance, CIGNA, is paying all but 250.00 each. I figured I best get it done before that changes. I hate the crown prep but am taking care of as much as possible while out of work. My mouth will be sore for a few days, I have had several in the past and not looking forward to this. Ugh, always something huh?
Oh, NM, if the TSA pulls me for a pat down, I will immediately tell them they can not feel up my left side or my back but will happily pull up my shirt and show them that I am not hiding any bombs under my shirt. I think after a quick flash, they will leave me alone. I kid you not, I will flash anyone. When I got to my sister's for the party sunday, my middle sister asked me how my itty bitty titty is doing and then asked to see. I flashed it in front of the crowd. I am proud to show my war wounds. I will show anyone as I know longer consider it a "private" part. I can't wait to show Chrissy, that is if she wants to see lol.
I best get in the shower instead of lolly gagging here. I hope you all have a great day. Happy Hump Day to all....wishing you all a perfect day!
CheerS!

Hi Drinkin' Buds~
I attended a wake in Ft. Worth this weekend and brought home what I believe to be a flu bug and have been in bed since Sun night.
Who gets the flu in August? Keep waiting for Pants and Jocks to stop by with sparkling water or whatever they may have to offer that would make me feel better lol.Sorry to hear about your man problems Beans and Kymn. I have repeatedly heard similar stories from other survivors, which is too bad. Have also heard stories (like the one mentioned earlier) where the DH leaves during or after bc treatment only to come crawling back when THEY have a health issue.
Ok, going back to sleep now.
Cheers (raising my glass of TheraFlu)

Gail, such a milestone for your daughter, congrats. So sorry you feeling that empty nest syndrome, and I hope you can do it without worrying too much. So....good luck to you as well!
Kathy, what are you making with the stained glass? Sorry your mom is feeling the jet lag, but I can't say that I blame her. I am not much of a flyer meself, and feel that 4 hours is too long. But at least she remembers and misses you!
Mitch, that was certainly scary, and how brave of you to stay back with them, WOW! Certainly the headache is from all that gas? Ohhhhh, and I agree with DorK, I wish we could see a larger version of your picture, you do look elegant!
NM, I have a hug for you. I just hate it that everytime we get something, more cancer is the first thing we think of! Please try not to think that, and of course we will all keep you in our prayers. Just remember to remind us when you go in so we can be there with you. The best thing for me is to stay BUSY. Those is some strong drinks you been servin up girl! Love the "Fill er up" cartoon.
DorK, I hope you had one of the boys help you off that bar stool, better yet, you should just sit in their lap? Getting so excited for you and Chrissy!
My DH is still dealing with stones, but they must be on the smaller side, as the pain doesn't escelate to the point where he wants to go to ER. I have a doctor appt. tomorry, so he will talk to the doctor as well, to see if he can help or recommend a good urologist. Remember, we don't much care for the medical staff up here in the mountains.
Hugs to everyone, and especially those going through rough times. Love to my girls that don't come by anymore, I miss you so much.

Oh My, Thankful to have you all still here, after that big scare that Stanzie had yesterday! Wow. Too bad they wouldn't leave their house. You are so sweet to think only of them, but as I read what you went through, I was thinking "How about YOU"??? Esp since your kids depend on you too. If something like that ever happens again (hopefully it never will!), since they are in wheelchairs, could you maybe just tell them they HAVE to leave, and have a policeman help you wheel them to safety? I guess what I am upset about, is that their desire not to evacuate, also put you in danger. Very, very, glad all you ended up with is a headache! I guess that is normal, with all the gas fumes, and all the worry. Hope you are feeling A-OK today! You are too kind!!!
NM, I like what DorK said, about all the aches and pains, as we age, etc. Hoping and praying yours is nothing serious! Is it the same side that you carry your kayak on? Too bad you have to wait too long for your appts, but hoping you can try not to worry too much. You will be fine! Well, the stained glass "creation" is nothing spectacular...I picked a simple Frank Lloyd design, as I didn't want to cut curves this time! Surprised myself that so many hours go into it! But they have us do every part of it ourselves, so lots of one-on-one instruction, which is nice. And same steps as you would do if it were going to be a window, or exposed to elements. Now I look at the "stained glass" half-round hummingbird design I bought a few yrs ago, and it sure doesn't look like what we are doing! I love, love, love the "fill er up" cartoon...that is SO TRUE nowadays!! And the drink "The Gas Main"....purrfect!
DorK, Hope your mouth won't be too sore! I don't remember pain from my crowns, so am hoping you will not have pain this time. My prob is my bite never feels right after a crown. Good idea to get as much done as you can, before returning to work. How nice that the ins will pay for part of them; ours doesn't pay dental. You don't have any metal in your new boobs do you? When I had the metal piece from the biopsy, before surgery, I got a letter from my dr to show TSA, in case it showed up in the airport scanner. The dr said I didn't need it, but I didn't want to take chances! So funny if you flash the TSA people!!! I know what you mean about it not feeling "private" anymore. It doesn't bother me to flash anyone either, but when I had real boobs, I was very private.
The upholstery is looking MUCH better....when I had just covered the seat cushions and back pillows, it still looked funny. But when I upholstered the part below the cushion and above the rattan design, (which was a pain in the butt, btw), it made it all look "finished". Haven't done the part behind the pillows yet, as it doesn't really show. I still don't like my fabric choice so much, but will see what my youngest DD says when they visit next weekend. I won't mention it and see if she has a good or a bad reaction.....LOL. Well, I have lots to do today as I have just 2 days to get ready for our trip...so gotta run....think the "Gas Line" dwinks will pump me up? Fill me up, Pants!
Back at Pau Hana time......
RW
OOPS, Hope I didn't bump ya too hard, Lori!! I miss all our MIA girls, too.Hope your dr appt goes well, and he can recommend a good dr for your DH! Have a great day!!!!

Hi There, thanks so so so much for the kind words and support and prayers. This has just been so hard. I will be traveling tomorrow and getting packed up today. Will be pounding Beanie Upper Lifters to get on the road. I'm so nervous about what to pack and getting it all loaded up. I think once I'm on the road I'll feel better. Thank you so much for your support as I go through another difficult tiime. Kymn, I sure hope your DH gets it together...so hard when we've gone through so much!!! Love & hugs, ~Beanie

Oh Beans, please be soooooo careful during your drive tomorrow. Shall we all get loaded up on da bus, and escort you to your destination? OR better yet, we can tow your car behind the bus, and then we can all partay on the bus and dwink lots of Beannie Upper Lifters and help you get thru this. Thinking of you, dear friend, and sending lots of (((hugs))). Please do let us know when you get there safely. Hoping you can still post often before you leave, also. Stay strong!!!

Nothing new to report on this end. Have been lurking and wishing everyone well.
NM.....you lift patients, right???? Suspect that is what happened to your shoulder. Shoulder pulls take forever to heal, as I have managed both in the past 4 years.
Beans.....think both of you need some space. Will be thinking of you.
Dork.....sorry about the crowns, but any help financially there is a good thing.
RW.....looks like you are seeing the light with the recovering.
Kathy.....hairy story. WOW.

wahine - your ideas make me so happy, let's tow the 4Runner behind the bus so we can party all day and have one of the tenders drive - yahooo! Thanks for the words to stay strong. I've got my big girl panties on!!! Nuthin is stronger!!
Claire - yes, we run into this problem (not usually this bad) sometimes and seems that space apart really helps.
I start shaking at the thought of getting all my stuff packed up, so just have to be strong and get to it. First prayers, then neaten up, then I guess I'll start on packing my clothes and gotta get the Internet turned on again over there and stop mail forwarding, etc. etc. Okay, will check in later to see what's on tap!
TITZ UP!!!

DorK and Donna, I bumped into both of your beautiful gals this morning, but couldn't reply as I lost my connection (again) in the house. Donna I hope I dint spill your TheraFlu, but I did have Pants spice it up some!
Feel better soon.DorK, ............. smile pretty! Dentist is not covered under our insurance, but I hear ya on getting as much done as you can before years end. We are doing the same, cuz we don't know if we will be able to afford insurance next year. Boy that will suck! LMAO at you flashing TSA..........I wanna see, I wanna see! No not ur boobs, you flashing TSA! I have my right breast working it's way up into my neck, so not sure which is better. Under the arm, like you and Mitch, or in the neck!
Kathy, when are you leaving? I know the memorial is the 20th, and when will you be back? And I"m sure your upholstery job looks nothing less than fantastic. I'll have to try and remember to take a picture of my stained glass that my brother did for me.
Beans, I think we should all get on the bus and tow your car, like Kathy said. Is it a secret, as to where you are going? Stay strong, stay positive. Whatever comes your way, I know you can handle it. We are here for you, we have your back girl!

Awwwww what a sweet picture, Lori! Soooo cute. Glad you mentioned bumping into Donna as I totally DID NOT see her post! How did I miss that? Hate to hear that you are still sick, Donna! First of all hate that you are feeling so badly, and secondly, hoping you will be well before the memorial for Junie. Sending get well thoughts and vibes and prayers your way! Oh, and of course we will send Pants or Jocks to your house too. Lori, Didn't know your boob was heading up towards your neck. Whats up (no pun intended) with that??? Would love to see the stained glass your brother made for you! Too much work to do here...cannot get motivated yet. Happy Hump Day girlies!!!

Hi girls,
I am back from the dentist and got one of the two crown preps done. The tooth is an eye tooth. The pain in it all is in the gum line. It does not hurt and the novacaine is just wearing off. I must say that my smile is definitely improved, my dentist goes awesome work.
Donna, I certainly hope you get over that darn flu bug fast, you poor thing. Rest and drink plenty of fluids. Does likker count? Feel better.
Lori, I hope you are able to find a good urologist for your DH. I swear, it is always freaking something. And sorry to hear that you have an out of place titty too. One thing for sure, I have totally lost hope of having symmetrical boobies ever again. On my "good" side, where I still have the implants, I have a fold which shows under my armpit if my clothes are not tight enough. I refer to it as an additional vagina as that is what it looks like but that of a young girl. Uhhh, disgusting word but that is the best way to descibe it.and I use another word but won't say that here! Here kitty kitty..... I really do not see myself going through anything to repair that given all of the issues i have had with reconstruction. That side is healed and otherwise perfect. So yes, a kitty under one arm pit and a boob in the other, ain't I just so pretty ... I think my dream of posing for playboy is now shattered. The big picture is what is important though which is the overall health. I will have DH take a pic of me flashing the TSA if permitted.
Beanie, sweetheart, I sure wish we could come and hold your hand. I am guessing that you are going to one of your shore homes? Please be very careful driving. And try not to stress over packing. Just be sure to have your big girl panties on and you shall prevail. Perhaps take an extra pair for added security. And portend that you are going to Disney Land or your favorite getaway destination. I feel so bad for you and wish I could help. Never forget that you are an awesome Bean and don't ever let ANYONE tell you otherwise. Please feel my arms wrapped tightly around you and I will rock you until you feel some comfort, poor baby Beans. I love ya and so do the rest of us. Try to keep us posted as you know we worry when you go MIA.<<<<<HUG>>>>...
Kathy, what is on your agenda for today? I will be back for Pau Hanna if not sooner.
I can not take my regular afternoon nap as my contracter is doing the windows in my bedroom now. After this, we will be down to the three windows in the back of the house and the problem window/wall which is still covered in plastic. My neighbor asked me if my guy miscounted when i ordered the windows since the plastic has been there so long. I told her that I like it and am leaving it that way and that the room looks so cozy at night from outdoors when the plastic is illumiated. lol. That will teach her to be so nosy! jk, I love my neighbor, Joan, she is someone I can always count on if I need her for anything. She is retired and usually at home. Anyway, I hope your Mom is over the fatigue from the trip and is having a great day in HI. I envy her so much as I have never been there but know it is just beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful state in the US!
And Lori, for the record, I showed my dentist my boobs today. He was inquiring and I asked if he wanted to see and he said okay. He has a good friend who is going through this BC shit and was curious. He was telling me that this friend's DH was just diagnosed with lung cancer, very sad. I have been with him for a number of years and actually dated him a long time ago so we know each other well. He is a great guy, just a little too old for me as he is about 60-62. We still have a great friendship.
Kymn, hope you are having a good day and that your DH is behaving. If he needs an ass kicking, just let me know and I will send my people. They know how to instill fear! I hope to see you more when your kids go away. I miss sitting next to you on your pink leopard bar stool. Hugz!
Claire, glad you are having great weather. It sounds very beautiful and serene where you live. So glad that the ankle is healing well. Keep up the good work, girl.
Well I am going to hit send then do some online banking and billpay - joy joy joy!
To everyone here, peace and lots of love.

Dorothy!!!!! You didn't! Really??? you showed your densits???? Well L O L !!! not sure what else to say on that one.....
Oh shoot why can't we all get together for real and take care of Beanie and Kymn and be there for NM who will find out is is NOT anything scary like mets cause that just cannot and will not happen!
Kathy- I remember my MIL talking about her stained glass and how proud of it she was and how pretty it turned out. Well I'm hoping the one she was talking about wasn't the only one I ever saw cause the one I was was probabably the ugliest and oddest thing I've ever seen.... I think it is still in the garage in my ex's house.... it was just bad. I know yours will look like a professional and you upholster too - really? I want to learn how to do something and at this point pretty much anything would be great! Ack!
Gail - driving.... my son will be 15 in Oct and I was going to take him out to try it out - someone suggested going to a cemetary as as I wanted to go visit my Mom's grave thought it was a good idea as no traffic, plenty of room so we might try it in the next few days....
Hang in there everyone... NM - when are your Doctor apts? Know you are worried but it just can't be bad... remember the chances are really low so I'm liking Claire's idea that it was work related - Workman's comp!
