Hi 2nd, I remember my grandpa smoking Parliament Cigarettes....never knew it was a group of owls.
Hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for the weekend. Still really hot here, and still have idiots shooting off fireworks at night. The sheriff has been called out but never finds who keeps doing this. The hills are very dry. Certainly hope nothing catches on fire.
Cooking steak tonight,with baked potatoes and corn on the cob and green chopped side salad...you are all invited

ohohoho me first, me first! I can get food now! Actually went out to a restaurant today and got chicken with zucchini. Funny, that's what I had yesterday at home.
Blessings, glad you got a brain. Hopefully they don't find too much wrong, something that can be easily fixed.
Susan, think about it, I don't color ALL my hair! How you feeling? How long do you stay on this chemo? Then do they wait awhile or just find something else?
Got a couple more bras. Tomorrow going to see if I can find some jeans. Haven't bought store-bought jeans in years.
Tanggggg, where are you? Doing better? No drain? Hopefully no more infection!
Everybody have a good weekend. Hot here, got to 108. Don't like it that hot.

Holy Chit Smarty all the bras u have---I have 2 stuffed but I hate wearing them so most of the time I go with a big scarf or big necklaces, I feel like even tho they were my size, it just dowsn't look right, yet yet it would make me look more normal--if that's even possible.
Enerva imagine if we went to a therapy class to watch what we say----we'd be the first to be kicked out. I told u guys when I was in my 30's I went back to school with my cousin--it was a legal course and the first nite we were asked to leave--they were all adults, but we paid for it so we showed up the next week and again asked to leave BUT we could take notes outside the door--The teacher even separated us the first class but didn't work. So u see I never had a filter and my cousin didn't either and we laughed so hard at each other all the time that we'd pee, which is frowned upon everywhere we went. Everywhere.

Update on DS... GF is wonderful. Sweet, open, beautiful,warm. They are wonderful together. I have met her ,but it was when they were high school. This absolutely, could be a match made in heaven
We were catching up on family, like old friends. Ds was much more comfortable with DBF. All in all a great dinner, and the food was great too, Macaroni Grill 0 -
O.K..... drum roll......
NORMAL BRAIN MRI!!!
Or maybe I should say that a different way... they found no bleeds, no clots, no tumors, no scary things in the MRI.
As for my brain being "normal", well...
Now I just have to be PATIENT as I try to regain my balance and my memory.
Hope all y'all are having a great Friday night....
xoxoxoxo

Feeling down, back pain is worse than ever and pain in skull is back, stinging, burning and to top it all off, Been fighting a migraine since last night and DH is being an ass again.
But I'll be ok, tomorrow is a new day abd hopefully things will level off.
Good night. Here's to a better tomorrow.

I'm like a 100 posts behind....sheesh!!
My Izzy's bday was 7/29 and tomorrow we are having her party. I'm exhausted, so I'm thankful that my parents are hosting and helping alot with it. She's turning 5
I've noticed that my face is getting really oily and I even have a couple of pimples popping up. During chemo my face was clear, so maybe it is starting to get out of my system now. My legs are so sore though! I went on a few walks this week since the weather was cooler and I'm thinking that is part of the reason. My calves are tight!!
Anyway, that's all I'm gonna get into for now. ((hugs))

Sas that's wonderful that everything was great even dinner. Some Happy time for u.
Blessings U really did say that incorrectly to say u'r brain is perfect it's like me saying my brain is perfect and I'm a runway model. But that's such good news I was really concerned for u, but didn't want to say much--So now u just wait, do they have any idea how long or is there any way to help you> Well let's just be thankful the MRI was good.
Nettie I'm sorry I'm so stupid about this but I have loads of back, leg, knee pains spasms and one arm especially, but I know why I have all this, even tho I do my PT excersizes (sp) it doesn't help at all really , well mybe it does, cuz I guess it could be worse, I've had this for about 2 yrs and it stops me too from doing things but I can't remember if u know exactly what this is from, and tomorrow u have a full day, it's hard to do and please don't think u've said to much cuz this is the place to unload every and anything.
I don't shop at all now, if we need a present Les does it and barely afford it. But I did what I know not to do today, I watched my shopping networks and that's how I shopped for years for everything, present, myself everything and now I can't do it and I was geting so sad thinking Oh I want that, Oh I want that too. hahaha
That was my addiction and I never had to leave my house , returning very few things so I was miserable today just watching I had to change it, but would go back every so often. So emotionally I had a miserable day, which I know is silly, but if u knew how I would shop u'd understand. By now I would have most of my Christmas presents done and any new decorations I wanted. Oh well things change.

Morning gals!
And back to our regularly scheduled programing, BLESSINGS,
you DID it! YOU showed them kid!Yes, your little brain took a beating.... but it kept on
ticking!You WILL regain your balance.... just don't go falling
again... Use a cane to steady yourself... I don't use one around here, but when
we go out, and are going to walk for awhile, I take mine.If you don't ..... wait..... what part of your memory do
you want back?I still don't have hardly ANY memories of my school
years.... Just a few things that were traumatic, that I remember...... Like when
I was on the swing-set at school, and I accidentally kicked that little brat
girl in the eye! I didn't MEAN to, but she sure sported a shiner for a very
long time. I remember THAT one! You would think she was some sort of HERO or
something!But I don't think that's important.... Remembering things
going on NOW is what is important...So don't worry about your memory... maybe things come
back, but maybe they won't... You can go NUTS trying to pull up memories when
you look at a picture, and SEE you were THERE, but you can't remember ANYthing
about it. I did this with my best friends wedding. I was her maid of honor,
but it is just not ANYwhere in my brain!I don't even TRY to remember those things anymore.... My
brain didn't start to retain memories until I had graduated, and met my Husband
to be....So memories aren't what's important... It's what is going
on NOW....Morning Nettie.... things WILL be better today.... just
remember that. You know stress adds onto your not feeling well...... don't
let HIS problems become YOUR problems.... His issues don't have to be
yours..... He can't control your life, unless you let it.....Some of us have been down that road.....
Hi Tang! Good to see you up and walking! That helps
your body recover.I might have been a nurse in my past life.... Ha, ha!
Yes Blondie... You are always welcome to come by, and all
us gals can just sit and chat and laugh our butts off!Cammi! You don't shop? And who is this "Les" person? Is
he your very own personal shopper sort of guy?If you want to be "miserable".... watch Hoarders! Man,
those people just couldn't stop when they had a good thing going! Everytime I
see that show, I go clean house! I mean HOLY COW those people just must not
CARE of how they live!Morning Smarty and 2222222222nd! Love the
pictures!This is for LittleGoats.....

Oh Chevy I wonder about u'r brain now--Les is short for Leslie my DD2 who loves to shop in stores. Blah Everyone asks her to do their shopping and pick things out. Years go she wanted to become a professionl shopper t one of the higher ends stores but they didn't have them yet. She thought of it and later now they have them. She relly wanted to be a designer til she got sick and her disease robbed her of doing much of anything she wanted. Oh well she's happy and doing well. And she gave me Joey, by accident of course but best accident ever. Cuz she really shouldn't have had kids, and went thru so much that's why I took care of him for the first year of his life with the Family Leave Act. Otherwise I would have lost my job so I was glad they passed that one. I did that for my mom too, but my mom paid me my salary, hahaha Big difference. Some memories u do want to forget.
Anyhow my goal was to be a part time stripper when I retired --figured cash, but my BS had different ideas and I told him he was taking not just my breasts but my retirement plan. Nasty fellow. Even tho the pasties would be by my stomach there are still men who would see that. Stupid cancer my dreams were crushed.

Chevy & Cami, you two make my day. Always a laugh or hmmm, what does she mean by that.
Blessings, keep resting & do what ever relaxes you.
Sas, sounds like a good time with the new girl.
Hello to all, I will catch up later. Getting stuff done to bring DH home. He has been there a week. Poor guy, the knee & elbow are both on left side, both had 2 surgeries. It is very difficult for him to do anything cause he does cannot use his left arm. They did replace the pad part of his artificial knee.
Home health will come, but I got something in the mail yesterday, from insurance that said he was approved for 3 days. I will call on Monday & listen to there mumble jumble...I really hate those phone calls. Makes me crazy. I wish they could just jump to the bottom line & tell you the truth without there spin.

Oh little Cammi! I didn't know! I didn't know this part of your ummm "past!" Dang girl! I don't know nothin' about the "family leave act." Is that when you leave your family??
Or when you take care of some little critter like Joey? Good JOB! He was put here on this earth, just to take care of YOU! He is your whole life.... Him and KatyKat.....
See? Thangs happen for a reason! Don't know so much about the stripper part, but whatever..... I TRIED that myself, and well, you know about the poles.... I failed that one too! We don't wear pasties you know.... they would hang underneath.... probably wouldn't even show! I could use Duck Tape.... shape them into something desireable....
Well, okay..... guess I'll go do something....
Hiho! Fun to see you this morning..... Yes! My brain is in transition.... to something from somewhere..... Take care of that bigD man of yours.... xoxoxoxo
Fix him milk-toast.... that's what you do for sickly people.

blessings. Normal brain MRI - yea. Was very worried for you but didn't want to say anything to freak you out.
Nettie. - sorry you are still having so much pain. Your dh being a pita (thanks for that new word Chevy ) certainly doesn't help your situation does it. I know when I am in extreme pain I become an emotional basket case. We are here for you. Complain all you want. Not good to keep all that in.
Tang - is izzy your 5 year old daughter ? You must be young. Enjoy this great day. Very nice you have family to help you
Blondie. Hoping the predasone helps your breathing. In stage IV forum they have a thread for supporting those who have decided or have had the decision made for them to stop treatment. Thought of you when I seen it.
Holeinone - bet your dh is so ready to get home. There is no place like home. Wonderful for home health to help as well. Is dh a good patient or a typical whiny man ? Get plenty of rest for yourself.
2nd - I so miss you on the games. I have been sleeping thru the night since pain is not waking me up. I haven't seen you. Have I just been on at a different time or have you not been on games ? Hurry back.
Cami. - damn cancer kills so many of our dreams. Taxes on tips for strippers is way too high anyway. So you were a tv shopaholic ?
Chevy - I wanna come to your party also. Guess I am inviting myself. Chatting and laughing out butts off sounds like a blast.
Susan - hope you are having a great visit with your dd. hope you are feeling better from chemo as well. How often are you takin the new chemo ? I csnt remember.
Hello to all those I missed.
I am having a good am. Still no pain. I feel like a different person physically and emotionally. Still very tired and nauseated. Still blaming it on huge decrease in pain med. wonder when that will go away ? So no one knows about chicken raising for eggs ?
Hootie hoo

Chevy where are u? Patty wants to know how to raise chickens for raising chickes to lay more eggs to raise chickens or whatever??? U are are resident chicken person she needs help.
And FMLA means u want to leave u'r family but paperwork swears u to take care o them, so u'r stuck???

Okay I KNEW I read that somewhere, but forgot who said it! You mean Peppermint? YOU want to raise Chickens? I live next door to 6 of the pretty little girls! Watched them grow up from little tiny yellow chicks into full-grown women! They have to have a nice coop! With a nesting area, and a warmer for Winter, ..... Oh never mind, you live in Arizona I see! But they have their favorite little areas where they take turns laying their eggs! "The nesting area" is up a little ladder thing, where they go at night, and all sleep together.... like a big slumber party! You can see "coop" ideas online!
SOMEtimes you have to look before you step on all that hay, because they even lay eggs there, or even in the yard!
If you let them roam in the fenced yard, be sure no dogs jump the fence to get the little things! They become very tame.... The little girls that live there can pick them up and sit with them.... They/Me feed them all sorts of greens, watermelon, corn on the cob, and just about anything! There is a whole list you can download as to what and how to feed them stuff OTHER than their chicken feed! They also drink water, from a regular waterer, AND feed can! I put tarp up around part of their coop, because the PITA neighbors didn't DO it, and it was below zero a few times last winter!
But their eggs are delicious! They lay about 6 a day in the Summer so far.... ONE of the girls lays real tiny eggs, but sometimes they are double yolks. After they lay their egg, they make lots of noise.... the "other" girls do, like cheering them on!
I don't have any Chickens myself, but you would THINK I did!
FMLA must be short for Familia.... some Spanish term.... I just made that up.

hi ladies, just got caught up phew you gals can talk ~ love you all!
Welcome Sailing, good news Blessings, and Patty LOL Chevy's our resident expert on the subject of chickens. Holeinone, hope your DH does as well on a picc line as my dad did, recovering from staph. Will u have home health care?
Got some heirloom irises from someone at work and planted them this morning. Supposed to be a nice lavender color and fragrant. Won't have blooms this fall but hopefully in the spring. One of the good things about living somewhere with a cold season is it makes for great spring flowers. ♥

remember these in the early 70s? I used to make these and sell them. About 36" across. Many, many, many years ago.
I watched the making of the little owls. The link didn't work but I found them. Might try it this winter. Have to find it in English. If not then I think I can follow along. Doesn't look hard to do.
Ok, can I brag, can I, can I !!?? I bought size 14 in jeans today!
OMG haven't done that in years, years, and years! I'll show a picture later when I put them on. OMG! Boy do they make me look skinny. My DH will be surprised! FMLA stands for family medical leave act (or close to that)

Smaarty not only can u be creative, u'r a wicked hot lady now---Congrats to you.
Chevy altho u'r explanation was a true delight for me, I think the question was how do u make eggs into little chicks--are they incubated or u just eat them as fast as u can. And forget the propagation of the species.

Party was a success!I took an ambien for sleep and I'm not able to sleep, but I feel spacey and weird now. uggg.
It was a My Little Pony theme and they swam and did the slip and slide. We also had a pinata for them and the cake/ice cream. That little girl of mine is what keeps me going ya'll!
Hole-hope dh's wound care is taken care of by insurance. This sort of stuff just adds unneccesary stress! Pisses me off!
On a side note, I have been reading other active threads have been noticing certain members who come across rather short and even mean at times. I know it can be a challenge to "read" body language via a mesage board, so I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt. But, some I see doing it alot. I'm just glad we don't have that problem on this thread. Thanks for keeping it that way ladies!
((hugs_))
