Dutch. Complain away. That's what we are here for. Plenty to say to bco friends that wouldn't say to neighborhood friends and family.

Dutch, you have a lot going on right now, it's hard when the kids move on. I am so lucky, I get too see my kids all the time. DD stays with us at least one night a week for work. I loved your post a few days back. Helping a family member with his Eagle Scout project, sounds like you have a close family.
HootieHoo PeppermintPatty, hope you start to feel better....
Waving hello to all....

Susan u sound pretty good.
Dutch I csn't imagine u annoying anyone, so just put that out of u'r head. This is all new to you being alone, it will pass, u'll see.
I can't go back a page now and forgot what I wanted to say.
I just hope everyone is feeling OK at least. I really like to talk to u individually but this morning my brain is gone. I didn't sleep well, had my D during the night, didn't make it to the bathroom one time, Thank God for Depends. Oh well just another day.

Oh Cami, sorry for the mid night episode, but seems like you have it all under control!
I did NOT have empty nest syndrome, I was glad not to have anyone to clean up after or cook for!! I had become weary of it all! Had a few years break and now I have Grandkids and it's a whole new ball game, one which I'm ready to play!!

Oh man! I just got my Nook to work with my wi-fi modem from Century Link! The HARDest part, was trying to HEAR this gal from wherever, with these hearing aids....and trying to READ, the modem, which was connected, and sideways, with my reading glasses on, and a flashlight to give her a serial number!
THEN she reset the pass-word that was on the bottom that I finally FOUND, and it is NOW working, and downloaded by wi-fi from Barnes & Noble my 2 new books!
Dang.... I am tired.... I'm out of breath, and going to fix a chocolate coke! I SHOULD be too old for this monkey business! But I DID it!
I should be considered a genius for what I just did..... shut up Cammi! I need help.

Cami, I feel for you today! Hope you're feeling better now, remember to stay hydrated.
Decided to use this juicer this morning, ever heard the saying, "when in doubt, throw it out?" Should have listened to that little voice in my head. I think the pineapple was rotten and my tummy is getting me back. So, grounded today.
Chevy, boo hoo video isn't working on iPad. Will need to try the Mac later.
Smaarty, 35 pounds taken off (don't think of it as lost, you worked too hard, it wasn't an accident).! Yup, time for new undies for sure and clothes too. Way to go!
Spookie sounds like a real cuddle bug.
Patty, hope you're feeling better today!
Enerva, your niece and family are gorgeous (just like you!). She's really rocking the top you made! Did you sleep any better last night? Yes, very much a coincidence your sx's share the same date, beats trying to remember 2 days close together. (My last yearly mammo - that started this whole mess - was 8/29/12). Is it exchange or revision sx?
Dutchie, hope your day turned around.
For 3rd:
Jwow, Susan, Cami, Blessings, Pawprint, Patty and Tang, sending happy thoughts to you, hoping the day is a little better for all of you and hugs of course
And hugs to Sassy, Enerva, Smaarty, Spookiesmom, 3rd, Hi1, Dutchie, Alyson, GG, LMG, Phyllisacceptedintothetrial, Nettie and anyone else I missed. (Don't have my list in front of me and CRAFT disease).
Cami, sharing a little secret with you: have probs remembering but I write things down (or keep lots of info on my cell) to help me remember and lots of notes on the computer. Sometimes, I forget where I have the info though!
Besides the tummy troubles, we had a power outage in the area this afternoon (since we didn't get a robo-call to warn us of maintenance, I think something broke) starting at 2 PM. Very strange without electricity, no Internet, TV, cold water, limited cell use (not a fully charged battery), and worst of all, no fan or AC
. But then again, no appliance usage (here in Cali, we have to give appliances the afternoon off to conserve electricity anyway), couldn't organize or clean rooms upstairs, it's probably 5* hotter up there. Good thing our gas stove can be lit be old fashioned matches (electric igniter). Electricity was supposed to be coming back right about now, but kicked back on a little earlier than that. YAY!Good thing it was only in the 90*'s today! Was getting to the 80's in the house.

2nd never heard when in doubt throw it out--I like that LOL No electricity I go crazy without is, I get so upset it recockulous, I go into panic mode. Good thing it's back on.
I hope everyone is feeling OK. and sleeps well.

I will try to sleep well tonight
I will do what you suggested thanks again 0 -
Miss Chevy, so grateful you shared that amazing video! Talk about miracles, for all those factors to fit together the way they did, beyond phenomenal! For those of you who haven't seen, please take the time to do so, it is very much worth you time and you might not look at your life the same way again.

Cami, it was a bit of challenge at time, but my memories of growing up in blizzards (not in SoCal of course) kicked in and it wasn't so bad. Even the warm house was a good thing - got a quick nap.
Enerva, thanks for the reminder about your sx. After I read that, I remember reading about it before. Hoping you get a great wonderful restful night of sleep tonight.
Oh, almost forgot. All that down time, I drafted a couple new threads.

OO my computer went on the fritz, I had to reboot and lost my partially done message. 3 pages behind. Don't remember what I had said so I will start again.
Chevy - Hornitos is an excellent brand of tequila. Ask me how I know this - well maybe you don't want to know how I know. You have a pheasant bothering the chickens? I saw the roadrunner the other day but only that one time. I have a pair that live around here maybe under my front droopy elm tree. I've seen quail but no pheasants.
Ganglion cyst - I can't imagine hitting them with a book. I had one on my palm hurt like the dickens. Had to have hand surg. remove it but that was eons ago.
Blessings - hope your memory decides to return back home with your balance with it. Can it bring my balance back home too?
Enerva - I think Susan has the right idea about putting electronics out of reach. My FIL kept his cigies in the bathroom so not tempted to smoke in bed. Same idea. In fact the light from TV, computer screens and I would assume phones disrupts getting to sleep - the so called experts say. Your niece is beautiful. So the 2 girls are daughters of your sister with BC?
Dutchy - Hugs to you. It is hard when they fly the coop but give yourself a pat on the back for raising her successfully on her way to independence.
Susan - I hope your feeling better. I lose track what part chemo cycle you are on. How's your DD?
TaDa - 3rd time is done with rads. Hope you had a celebration.
2TA - that's the way we lose electricity. Fine day, boom, no elec. I understand electrical storms and have patience with that. Not so much on a perfectly normal day. Appliance vacations? I try not to turn on oven on very hot days, use either stove top or crock pot but no regulation that make me do that. What appliances do they regulate?
Hope everyone has a better night's sleep that needs it. At the moment I'm having the sack out sleep, get up once to pee. I give that about another 1-2 weeks b4 I'm back to the waking at 2am. Weather had the long range forecast tonight. Texas is due for below normal temps and above normal precipitation this winter. Does sound like a repeat of last year's weekly ice storms which weatherman admitted was what it sounded like to him. I actually had to water the yard this week and need to turn on the drip hoses tomorrow for the 1st time. Looking in places burnt up. At least DH is happy since mowing down since rain quit.
2TA - I found the Downton Abbey thread by accident. Didn't know about the other 2.

my bil has begin rads and chemo for his brain tumor. My sis has him at home, says she can't tell if he is aware much at all, sits at the table and repeated turns the pages of the paper. I guess another example of how well off I am!

Anita I'm so sorry for u'r dear family and all this cancer chit---It's a rotten disease that has no rules and is sneaky as a b*tch. I pray for the best for him
I don't think I've prayed so much since I was in Catholic school when I was young and what did I pray for like a boyfriend or wouldn't gain weight or some equally important criseses. Oh well it was so simple those days. Well my mom had a BMX in her 40's and a hysterectomy the following year, I wonder if even at that time they had a connection, I don't know, we never talked about either and she was fine in no time-no chemo, rads or meds. It always makes me think.She lived another 50 healthy years too. Hmmmmm

Hi everyone,
My gosh I'm so far behind in reading the posts.
Susan so nice to see you posting again. I was wondering how you were doing. You are such a jock how you push thru and still run....and still do all you can to have fun.
Cami, what a yucky night with the D...is it a medication side effect or all the partying you're doing
) hope you're not smoking the stuff Chevy sent you cause she got it from a pot in the ally. 2nd, yes we had the storm hit my area too a couple of nights ago, with lightening thunder heavy rain and hail. I forgot how wonderful it was to lie in bed and hear the rain. We really needed it. Sorry your lost electricity today. Edison sent out a postcard stating they are turning off my electricity on the last Sunday in August to do repair work. So I'll be whinning for sure.
Been so busy at work and on the side i was helping to rescue more animals out of local shelters. So glad to get a break from the iron infusions. Got my new blood test back today. Ferritin very high, iron saturation very low, CRP-hs very high, and my ANA tested positive. So I guess I have some autoimmune disorder going on.
Enerva, you make such beautiful tops. Smaarty you did amazing on your weight loss, congratulations. Hope you start feeling better Nettie. Has Tang posted at all recently? Chat again soon. Goodnight all.

Morning gals! I made this "Hanging" last year, along with a Shell hanging.... Have any of you heard of Chihuly? I think that's his name...The Glass Master... He creates these beautiful magical sculptures out of blown glass "pieces" then works with his teams to create Chandeliers, hangings, and the most amazing art-work I have ever seen!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OndIFim3w0I
Sass.... You would Love this guy! Reminds me of how much you love glass! Remember that Fairy Candle you sent me? I have it NOW in my kitchen window.... so the light can shine through it!
Chihuly is at the Denver Botanic Gardens for awhile.... DD wants to go see him.... guess it is spectacular!
http://www.botanicgardens.org/exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about
I have little lights in this one.... Picassa added the twinkling effect!

luvmygoats....doing ok....number 2 of how ever many I can be on with this chemo. Every time I change to a different one it takes me time to mentally get " stable" again. Lots of ups and downs in the beginning of each switch. Prob won't be posting to much anymore. Gotta be happy there are still a couple chemos left out there, and there will prob be one new one out when I am done with these....but that takes me just under two years. Hubby is better about it all now which is good...he isn't great , but better. He still gets angry when people don't get that for some of us all they can so is buy time...it's palliative care...no cure no remission...it doesn't anger me...it's not their lives..they don't need to understand. My daughter is doing great with all this, which is very important to me. We have great faith and have so embraced life because of our circumstances . There can be such beauty in the fire, and we embrace that. We have such great deep wonderful talks..that is just as important to me as having fun is. My biggest problem now is trying to figure out what fun things I want to do over the next two years....so much to choose from...and I am not picky..I love everything..lol. Thinking about a murder mystery party in a castle in Nova Scotia !!!!! Doesn't that sound fun ?????
I will drop in ever so often to say hi...but sometimes these sites can make me sad...and I gotta be careful about that....
Have a great day everyone...be well...and be happy

Susan, I understand the need to step back from these boards. I try to limit my time surfing around. Hoping to see you pop in, I wish you all the best.
Chevy, you do have talent beside chicken sitting, nice shell & flower hangings....

Good morning everyone---This is especially for Susan.
Susan u'r words are so sad, but I know that's how u feel. I so pray tht they cn stop all this chit with one special chemo and I too went thru everyone and some how things were better, they kept on pumping and I never said no, just felt like chit most of the time but I'm doing OK for now--Maybe everything is for now, but now can change. My sister too--she's actually doing better than I am and still working FT with Stage IV, never thought tht would happen either. So u never know what is going to happen---NED is a beautiful saying but remission is just as wonderful. So keep u'r good thoughts there and praying for u all the time.

Susan, you have such a good attitude, you and your family will be in my prayers. Hugs, Stephanie
