    Good Morning all, it must be Sassy day. 

    Zj, I remember how painful urinating was while on A/C. That and UTI are common on the "red devil". One down & 3 to go, is that correct? I cannot remember where you are exactly. It is a horrific drug, IMHO. Hopefully it does it job, for those of us that needed it. 

    Jealous of all the lunches with BCO ladies. 

    Paw & 2nd, we need details.....what you ate, did you get dessert, strippers?

    DH is doing pretty good. Of course, working too much. There season is winding down.

    I played in a small Rally for the cure golf tourney on Thurs. Beautiful day & I got to play with ladies that play in my twilight league. They had good cake & champagne. I, like most, am not comfortable with the whole pinky overkill, but these ladies try really hard to put on a good event. 

    Last year, I was so sick in Oct. I had my 4th A/C & my first Taxol. The breast cancer awareness campaign annoyed the crap out of me. Most folks think if you get your mammos they will catch it early. We know that is not always the case. Still healing from the assault of all that trauma/drama.....lol.....

    Blessings, I was so impressed with you hooking up your modem & whatever else. Sounds like your brain is functioning just fine...

    Waving hello to all....

  • Hi1, Sassy Saturday, that's a good one!

    Gathering for lunch will be small, it's at a local Mexican restaurant. Will be nice to see Pawprint.

    Happy Saturday!

    I have a whole day? How special. First thing I'm going to do is take a nap :)

    2nd have fun, tell paws hi!  :)

    is it "normal" for those of us who have/are going through BC crap to feel annoyed with the pink stuff? Symbols, runs, tshirts, etc? The only time I heard from breast cancer organization is for donations. I was told at the beginning that someone would contact me to see if I needed anything. No one did. I didn't need anything but that's not the point. Now all they ever want is money! I'll donate when I want to!  Ok, my vent for today.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Pics from 2nd and paws tonight!  Got to go sew.

    If I had money it would go to Dr. Susan Love, who is supporting research. Plus she's a hoot! She had cancer 2 ? years ago with extensive treatment, so she really does get it.

    So okay..... Now I'm almost finished packing.  What's it supposed to get down to again Spookie??  80???  And that's at night?  I guess I can leave my Parka and Muck-lucks home....???  Just thought I would ask....  

    Yes Peppermint.... wish youi all could meet with us too!

    You know, I don't mind Pink.... probably because it was my Mom's favorite color!  The girls gave me a pink rose-bush for my garden when I lost her....  

    Doesn't the Heart assn. have red everything?   So it's okay....  I wear little pink braided bracelets, AND a pink watch, when I don't have my glitzy purple trampy one on.... AND  it just reminds me of how far I've come, (almost 5 years) and it reminds me of my Mom....  

    You know, we COULD all wear Orange and Black, and ride big MoFo Harleys!    Oh wait.... that was another time..............

  • Smaarty, I was doing treatment in October I walked into Publix and saw all the pink crappola felt like I took a punch in the gut. I like pink. I'm wearing it now. But won't next month, at all. 

    I'm aware. I won't donate any more than I have. They tried to kill me and I lost a year of my life.

    The Pinktober thread should be getting active soon, come on over!  Lots of fun  Not to be confused with Puketober

  • Smaarty
    Smaarty Posts: 2,615

    ok, went to Pinktober. Also posted the link to the two threads I have. And took the survey. Don't know why I have mixed emotions about pink. I've never done the run. Don't know that I will this year. Have to talk to my sister.

    Sass, I also added info in the header on getting vacations, hearing test, etc. did I forget anything?

    hi all, jumping back in after a while away and pages behind.  

    Wanted to thank you sassy for the uplifting Som Sabadell video.

    Here's the link again, so worth watching!  ♥ to all

  • Whenever I am asked for a donation for Breast Cancer, I just say "I donated both my breasts. I think that's enough."

  • We had a great time today, just the three of us, lots to catch up on. Pawprint had great furbaby photos (hope that's not a secret). We had Mexican food, no strippers, just talking. Margaritas sounded good but I don't drink and drive. 

    Photo from today (as requested):

    OMG I didn't realize I was so fsr behind.--My puter isn't at full working condition So I'm not here enough like I should be, I couldn't read all the ages but caught some.

    Welcom newbies I think u'l not just get info u'll have good spirits on here too.

    I've been on Xanax for a while, and I love it so I can't say anything bad about it. I take 1mg sometimes 2 when I really need it.But I also take Paxil and that really lowered the umber I take.

    Is Chevy gone now?

    2nd I love the pic--u gals look wonderful. So glad u got to have facetime.

    I saw a commercial where ther was a little girl swimming and showed her as she was growing and an adult being a top swimmer and it said she's been on this JOURNEY and she loves it. Well that's how I feel about that word being used foe BC wht journey the one u keep on falling, getting back up and falling again for who knows how long. Yes this is a JOURNEY  Sorry and I used to like pink but I think black and blue mixed would be better, I can relate to that much more. And certain charities are off limits for me, to much politics and wasted monies--I think Love is a good one too.

    My puter is acting bitchier than me, that why I'm not on enough. It's supposed to get fixed soon.

    You FL ladies are so lucky to be meeting up, again pics. And Chevy u'll have a great time with u'r family. Watch the rocks carefully, well a piece of sand might make u fall, let's face it.

    So I was trying to find a picture of me while pole dancing, and all I could come up with, was this one..........

    Oh well...  Sass and Spookie will probably know what I look like.....  22222222222!  I love your picture!   Sheesh, YOU guys look so "NORMAL!"   

    And who is this GrammaKathy?  She is wearing pedal-pushers, or whatever you call them.... I suppose that's supposed to be incentive for ME to wear them?  And OH?  She has on Sandals?  Where your toes peek through?  Not gonna happen...  she's a tramp.

    Now THAT'S what my Husband would say, if he saw my toes looking out from anything....   I mean he even thinks the tops I wear with beads or shiny things is just a "come-on" for anyone around!    So do I listen?  Not gonna happen.

    22222222222, I love your DRESS!  Now THAT is proper....  If I bought a dress, I would have to take it up about 4 feet....   But you look LOVELY!

    And Littlepaws...  Hows the rest of the paws?     Your blouse is pretty.... like YOU are!  So what's in that bag there on the floor?  Were you shopping?  Or leftovers from lunch?  We need to know this stuff.

    I already know what Sass and Spookie look like....  Sass posted a picture of them awhile ago....   So now I won't be fear-ful, I mean surprised l when I see them.

    Okay.... gotta go finish getting ready for my trip..... like change out all my tops for the 3rd time.

    The Mods asked if I would write something one time....  

    http://www.breastcancer.org/community/acknowledgin...

    Oh WAIT!!!  Cammi just came back from wherever she was!   I'm so excited!   A piece of "sand" you say?  I'm not even going near the beach.... so Hah!  At least I don't think we are this time... 

    I have to watch my step going over dust-bunnies.... are you kidding?  I mean those things crop up in the most un-expected places..... and what are you doing up?   Oh, that's right.... your "job"....  But you do that from bed, right?

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    Oh wow.... yes little honey, you ARE bitchy....  It's okay....  just keep taking your pills.

  • Chevy, your hubby sounds like quite a trip.  Mine likes the hoochymama look!  Maybe we should get them together and come up with one "normal" guy!  Sorry but bright red lipstick and stilettos are not on my agenda this week! Teehee

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    And so maybe have someone check out your spell-checker?  Or maybe your fingers.

    Morning Badger!  YES, that was a great video!  Thanks for posting it, because I just flew right by it when Sassy posted it...

     I followed some of the links, and found this one..  

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROPesXv2z1U

  • Cammi!!!! You're back!!!!! Don't scare me like that, being gone for so long. Have Joey or DDS do a post if you can't, just to let us know.  Ok?

    Now CHEVY.  Ok Missy.  I read what you wrote for the mods.  Very sweet. But they aren't going to understand about your pole dancing habits.

    Yes, do leave your boots and parka at home. Won't be needed here.  I checked your weather.  Oh my! 20% humidity. However do you survive? It's about 90% here now.

    And I do too know what you look like! I have a pic of you with some red thing growing out of your brown hair, wig?

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    And you are all probably just dripping with all that humidity!  You probably slosh when you walk....   It's been about 3 years since we were there last...  I am just not getting dried out....

    Honestly, I really love that climate!  I feel better at sea-level.....   or what IS it.... beLOW sea level I think....  You guys are just one step away from sinking..... all of you.

  • Um yeah, between the hot flashes and the humidity it's hard to stay dry  my house is a whole 8 feet above sea level!!!!  WooHooo

    Chevy, GREAT job on Members from around the World story! 

    Love the pic 2TA!  FYI, new Get-Together Photo Slide Show..

    I still like pink but not all the pinkwashing in Pinktober. I do wear black on MBC Awareness Day, which this year is 13 Oct 2014.  http://mbcn.org/ ♥ to all

  • cami - your back.  Sweeeet.   Missing your daily input. Glad nothing serious.  I hear ya on the journey. Journey my a## !   Fight is a word many women on here hate but it sure feels like a cage fight to the death for me.  Still punching, kicking , biting etc. 

    Chevy - wow. Thanks for the link to your story.  That's was awesome. If I had just come across if I would think "now there's a woman I would love to get to know". How lucky we are to have you post here so often.  Nearly every  morning you get me lol (literally). Love your attitude. 

    Hootie hoo

    Smarrty, here' a link to Pinktober Revolution. I started it a couple of years ago. It picks up steam  before October then peters out after October. I've run out of steam on mentoring it. I'd rather just be here, But ramble through it, you may find something that trips your trigger. I see from a post below the first and above here that you've been to Pinktober. I'll leave the link for others.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic...

    I'll check out your topic and see if there's anything 

    Blessings It wasn't EKG, it was Echocardiogram that I should have done. EKG measure electrical conduction, Echocardiogram measures Function. For me the stupid Thyroid will have a major impact on function i.e pumping, EF, cardiac wall thickness, valve workings. I've had them done in the past. I should have had it redone before thyroidectomy. Oh well. Too late. 

    Badger Hello, I love that Som Sabadell video. It's even okay it was an advertisement and not just spontaneous. The unplanned portion was the audience response. Precious. The childrens, responses :) The girl on the lamp-post :)

    Chevy, be easy LOL on Cami or she might go away again. Chevy worked on post to sandra for several hours.  Was it okay?

    Z, chevy was referring to Cami's spelling and fingers, not yours

    2nd and Paws great pic.

    Patty :)

    Jwoooooohooo:) Tang :) 3rd:) HI! :)

    To All been thinking. I have Susan's info. I know golfgirl said Susan needed to step back from BCO. I'm guessing many have sent PM's. Opinions PLEASE. Should I give her a call or wait?

    I mentioned awhile back that our loss of Bluebird and Robin Williams could trigger a leaving.  I know I had to take a break. ?????????????

  • I knew I should check out this thread, and here I find some of my favorite people are here! Sassy, I know the invite wasn't specifically for me, but here I am. A lifelong insomniac, and chemo only makes it worse. Seems to hit a few days before tx, even before I start the steroids. 

    Hey Cami, I heard you've had 'puter problems and I may have found the source of them...

    image

    ...so you might want to check that out. 

    So now I'm here, can I stay? Huh? Huh?

    hi mags, seen you posting on Warm and Fuzzy. Yes, I'm sure that's Cami's puter  problems.

    Chevy, read your story and everyone else's there. Wow.

    Going to finish sewing.  Tang, how are you girl??
