    YAY3rd.................

    Hi1------Yay ready for a trip........the itenerary maximum fun, try to post pics.for those of us that won't travel...........like ME.

    Chevy whattttttttwe can't diverge......who are we.....cami have you got a clue what she's talking about?

    Oh yah, remember when I was going to fire the endocrin doc? He has his assistant call and say "Dr Go would like you to do all follow ups with Dr Mciver"(BigWig  doc at Moffitt).  Back and forth. Basically, the doc fired me. Knew from her first words what he wanted b/c he tried to pull the same thing in last visit. LOL I was surprised we didn't split ways during the visit. He was Not happy with what I said. I.e.you're not listening, you're not paying attention to the symptoms--------whoooooooooo it was a grueling visit. But when I left there, I came up with the thought of thyroid resistance. So, loose a doc, gain a great insight.

    Not sure how many  chose to link on the Crack.com link, I posted a couple or so pages ago. What the writer had to say hit home with me b/c as a 19 y/o I tried suicide. Aspirin overdose. Realized I didn't want to do it, took steps to counter it------------large volumes of water and vomiting. but ended up in ICU to be watched. Everything this writer said hit home with me. 

    You think me strong. Think of me then, abused. Think long years of stress beyond what a child should have to absorb. Think of connection with others that went through the same thing.............constant trouble, constant sadness. constant disbelief.

    What I learned out of the scenario was to reach out............or.........do it right........

    I chose after that to reach out.  It did me well, I'm still here at 64

    Never negate Robin's pain, I feel his pain daily. My words that his mind never gave him peace, are just that. He was always seeking normal. He was always seeking true. Something. Seeking peace, but giving every moment he could. Please, read the link. It's the most candid writing of what the really lonely person feels. True as true can be.

    Oh sass! You are a very special person, and you have mastered bringing positive sunshine into everyone's life here! 

    Some days it really, really sucks to be the 'walking wounded'... and we really never are 'not' -  Thank you for sharing that sass...

    Sass,  I heard you.  I also did felt a bit of that when I read it. 

    I think I got mad  at robin Williams but not at him really I have been mad since I was 9 years old cuz my father one day upset about my oldest brother s decisions in life decided to stop taking his heart medication and one day he gotta heart attack. Mom found after thatched had stop taking his medication on purpose so, my mom had to race all of us alone. She never remarry, became a nurse and worked day and night shifts then my oldest sisters found jobs to help out. Mom was an angel, the kind of mom that never hits you or scream at you. I must say the years I got her here with me even though Alz was with us I was blessed to have her and I did my best to give back some of the care she provided me with when I was little. 

    I have always been a funny one,  always making people happy but when I read that link it hit home for me too. 

    Anyway yes my sister situation is getting in my nerves :( hoping for the best. 

    Hope you all have a good night.  I am going to take a pill tonight cuz other wise I won't be able to sleep :( 

    Sending you all hugs.

    Alive thanks , but you are bringing life into eyes through your work on W&F's , Teka was the first to understand the mission of the thread, It;s not just fun. It's LIFE----------an enjoyment, a resilience of being, a hold on illusion & delusion & beautiful . That when we need to take a break from reality.  We can just relax and view.

    3rd U'r almost done YYYYAAAAAYYYY

    Enerva I pray u'r sister's scan are good---I'm telling u this crap is like a web, once u get into it it's so hard to fight u'r way out and if u do things are still sticking to you.

    Nettie I'm going to slap u'r little face, u are so adorable---and that's u hair color--even if it's not it's perfect. See I want to pinch u'r cheeks.

    It's almost 4am here, so why do I care about Nettie's hair??? OK cuz I care about all of u t any time of the day. See there goes my other voice in my head talking, it comes out every so often and I let it, I think it's the nicer one.

    What a goofy day I took a nap (as usual) and when I woke for about an hour I thought it was Saturday, honestly and I'm wondering why my TV shows were different and why my phone was ringing a lot with customers for a Saturday. Whooosh--Leslie took Joey for 5 effin hrs for school stuff--OMG u'd think she was buying for 5 kids and yet she bought very little. She went to 5 different shoe places cuz he wears a mans shoe now 8and 1/2 (my baby) and they were more expensive so she's freakin' out, then she finds out she has to buy a College Dictionary--I didn't know they still sold those with all the computer stuff going on--This school thing is costing a fortune-- So shopping again today for the rest of all this chit. They have so many things to get now--it's unbelievable.

    OK right now I'm awake but u all know  this doesn't last. And I think I told u about my exorcist story, hw exciting my job is. OK I'll BBL

  • Chevy, thanks for your offer of assistance. What was I thinking? Friends and family are supposed to love and accept you, regardless of the circumstances (especially those we can't control). My local "friends" aren't friends, you all are closer even through cyberspace!

    About projects: Mom's facility wanted me to get items for a memory box by the entrance to her room and put together a shoebox full of memories. Not easy to do as we left so much behind when we moved a year ago. Had the items for the one by the door in the back of Dad's car for weeks, could never find someone with a key to open it for me till last visit. For the shoebox, have been working on a big photo album plus tchotchkes to help her retain memories. Takes a while. So I did a "mini-scrapbook" so at least she has something till I complete the bigger one.

    Cami, you're so right about FB friends. Funny, lately I look forward to seeing my BCO friends on FB more than most other people. Winking

    Nettie, glad you got a pain-free day. Very pretty, thanks for sharing. New hair is pretty.

    Insurance, don't get me started! In 2011, pipe burst under concrete slab. Seeped all the way across to the outermost corner of the house, huge mess! Major reno #1. Then it happened again last year this time (different location, same cold water line). So had to have line re routed thru the wall by-passing concrete slab. Worst part tho, the first occurrence ins filed as 2 separate claims, same week. So when the 2nd happened, (looked like a 3rd claim by the paperwork), made us virtually I eligible for homeowners ins. Lots of crap to ensure us. This month the first "2" claims dropped off the system so we're back on track. VERY scary with the broiling heat, drought status, everything so dry and threat of fire always looming (2 big fires in this area in the past 15 years).

    LMG, feel the same way about insurance. No lose deal for them but a necessary evil.

    Stephanie, big hugs to you, end is in sight!! Happy for you!

    Chevy thanks for sharing cat/dog video. Isn't Nature amazing?

    Enerva, so sorry about your sister, praying for a miracle. 

    Sassy, in my eyes, you are even a more stronger and amazing person than ever. Have to go back and check the video after I post this (so I don't lose everything). 

    Cami, hate those confusing situations! When I mix days up. DH got in a big argument on Sunday thinking it was Monday morning. Couldn't convince him otherwise.

    About losing posts: have 2 tabs open and toggle. Stuff I was writing was disappearing very annoying. Have learned to Select All/Copy (that's the process on iPad) so I don't lose stuff. So far, so good.

    Morning gals!  And this is strength!  Somehow one little girl learned what it is to be loved and cherished..... against all odds in the world...... 

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByFUzo9KwryWWkRwUE...

    Hope y'all are doing okay this morning....  Nettie I love your hair!  

    I'm going to pull a Cammi in a little while..... as soon as I drink some coffee,  I'm going to hop in the shower with "Satsuma"....  And I will smell like a big exotic Grapefruit or Orange thing....  

    Satsuma is this big European type guy I met the other day whilst walking down the alley at night...

    Oh Cami...that is NOT my color, this is the "color I chose"  LOL  Thanks for the compliment!

    And I'm so glad that as of now I don't have to worry about stuff for school, although, my time is coming when the grandkids get old enough!  We, DH and me, always help with stuff when we can financially!  We do not have much extra money, but what we have is spent on our grandkids!!  I was fortunate when raising my two, my parents always helped and now my parents are still helping by also giving for MY grandkids!  (Hope that makes sense)

    But a Dictionary, I also thought those would be obsolete now with the internet!

    I'm so sorry for all you ladies that had difficult childhoods, I was really blessed!  I know a little about it, as I met DH at 16 and his father was an abusive alcoholic!  Many nightmare stories, but just to give a glimpse, one involved his father killing my DH(boyfriend at the time) puppy and laying it in DH's bed!  Much longer stories, but just a glimpse as to things that he dealt with and I for a short time while dating.  His father was killed in an auto accident in 1994. (Alcohol NOT involved)

    Sorry for all of you dealing with insurance issues, never a happy time!  Most of the time, thank goodness, DH takes care of that!

    Thanks for compliement 2nd, and believe it or not, I'm not hurting today again!! YAY!!  Have some stiffness issues, but not pain!

    Oh, Chevy, smelling like a satsuma....that could make me hungry! 

    Ok, just one little thing I need to say "out loud" - found a "bump" on my right leg, under the skin, I guess on the bone just about 2 inches from my ankle, seems I can somewhat feel the same on the opposite side, but now I'm paranoid about every little thing!  I'm going to keep my eye on it for a couple weeks and then I guess if I'm not convinced it's normal, I'll have it checked out!

    Happy Wednesday!!

    Oh Nettie, your DH Father just makes me sick!  He deserves to be shot, if he isn't dead yet.  No room on this earth for people like him..... He was born without feelings for anything...... Blah!

    Nettie, I get bumps everyonce in awhile....,. sometimes they go away..... don't worry about it....  just smack it real hard, and it will disappear.... maybe.

    That's what they used to do with those cysts people got on their wrists?  Smack them with a book....and they would go away.

    If it doesn't hurt, forget about it.....  If it turns a bright red, and you see lines running all the way up to your head, then you might want to get it checked out.....otherwise.... it's okay.

    Yes, Chevy, I was quite upset with "that" episode!  The only way we were able to deal with all the "stuff" was to realize that the only time he acted out was when he was drinking!  Not making an excuse, it was hard all the time, but the alcoholic was a terrible person, but when he wasn't drinking he was completely different!  Only problem, he chose to drink more than he chose to be sober!  It was really sad, because the sober man was awesome!

    And no, the "bump" doesn't hurt, I found it by accident while shaving!  But don't they say that cancer doesn't usually hurt at the beginning?  

  • Hi All Owlettes!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!!! Group hugs all around.

    Nettie, saw this and thought of you:

    ThumbsUp Here it is nettie---What a horrible story for u'r DH. So glad he didn't take after that chitload of trouble. I too had  a wonderful childhood and just never thought of anyone having a bad one when I was young--all my friends parents were awesome so it just never came into my head. I have 3 bumps on my wrist, a third one just popped up not long ago, but they are right on my vein so they are there to stay. Just keep an eye on it, but don't worry about it. That;s all.

    Oh and now Miss Chevy thinks she's the Dr. in the house-Oh my heavens. what next her showering with a fantasy--we never know with her.

    Second that was a sweet post.

    Shhh my phones are quiet today, that's really not good, but what can I do.

    I'm watching scary movies as usual. No Chevy they are not my home movies--I figured u'd say that. OMG I'm starting to think like her, I'd better meditate and get her out of my head.

    HIO!  ~  You are just going to make her think she knows what she is talking about!   She meditates?  SURE she does.... maybe when she is sleeping.  Winking  What did you do Cammi....?  Go out and rent some ..... um...... "movies" you say?    Rather fun, aren't they?   So you watch those while you are on the phone?    No WONder you make so much money with your "job!"

    How's it going Peppermint?  Hope everyone is doing alright today~

    ha ha ha you ladies are so funny, going back to read a few pages already behind but this last few post are making me laugh already.

    So I have been back and forth with my Ps lol what a confusion why is so complicated to order the correct implants?  

    It seams we finally are in the same page or at least I made clear what want. Devil

  • Sassy, the link to Robin Williams you mentioned was a good read. There was also a good one that he didn't die of suicide but depression. Did I post that link? 

    Chevy, tried that link about the little girl but too many hits and didn't see it Bawling

    Enerva, about implants/exchange: have you checked out Whippetmom/Breast Implant Sizing 101 thread:        https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/44/topic...

    Her assistance is spot on, almost like a trusted 2nd opinion. 

    Nettie, you have had such a difficult life.
