Ibgal, thanks for the heads up on today ! I googled it & read a bunch of the inspirational quotes.
Hello to all. Cami good to see YA.
MammaRay, thinking about you. Hope you can relax a little. Time, hopefully will help to make this easier. I think you are handling this so well. I cannot imagine this dx at your age. We all love & support you.
DH & I had a BBQ yesterday, total 15 people. I worked my tail off, cooking, cleaning. It was a beautiful day, but cooled off quickly so we did not use the patio. Today my shoulder is screaming at me. So, being lazy. Finished hand washing all the wine glasses. I am done. The weather here is beautiful. My daffodils are blooming, also hyacinths. Would enjoy being out there, digging & cleaning up the flower beds, but need to rest my shoulder.
Sas, good luck with DBF. Hard to know what is going on. Does he go out for beers after work occasionally? my DH does that. Or is it this, he leaves you have no idea where or how long? My DH & I are both very independent. He used to float rivers, was gone all spring & summer. Now, can't do much. We are both happy that we traveled & was so active before. His health is bad, our lifestyles have changed.
Chevy, enjoyed the cute Asian girl singing.....also your reason, season, lifetime quotes.
Envera, thanks for posting in Spanish, I am having fun translating it. 4 years of Spanish, don't know much. I can order food & drink & ask for directions to the bathroom.....lol.....

Happy Woman's Day - great holiday.
Beachbum- Ha boy you summed it up... I will miss my brother and a couple of cousins.. an act of self care. Sweet.
Such a perfectly gorgeous gorgeous day! The buds on our coral bell azaleas and Hinos are just getting ready to bloom.. tulip tree out and daffodils.. big old fat buds on my lilacs. I LOVE Lilacs... can't wait for them to bloom... I was sitting on our glider rocker with our old man cat blinking in the sunshine... ah so fine.

Ladies- in from the gardens where I am starting to clean and prune to make room for the little green things popping up from the ground. We have a long spring in the high desert. Starts late Feb and goes to end of May. The fruit trees just started blooming this week.
Cami- thanks for the compliments on the new avatar. I saw it on one of my jazz threads on FB, and decided it was so me!
Spookie- when we don't have a lot of family, including sibs, our friends become our family. You and Sassy sound like soul sisters to me. My best friend and I are like that, sisters in the heart in so many ways.
I learned about International Woman's Day years ago through a job I was at, and from a young Russian woman I worked with. She had a party to celebrate and said it is a big deal in Russia too. There is a lot of attention around women's issues again right now, which I consider a good thing including equal pay, not enough women at the top in orgs, etc. Okay, decades old conversations, I am hearing since the 1980s but we still need to be talking about it. I think if we had a better balance of male and female power from top to bottom, the world would be a better place. It also Women's History month so go pick your favorite woman from the past and learn something about her!
Here is to all you outstanding women out there!

I will pass on the peanut clusters, as I found my own piece of candy. Two hundred and thirty pound peanut butter cup!

I was a Camp Fire Girl and loved it. Then we moved and all they had was scouts.

Jazzy - I love the gianormous peanut butter cup!!!!! Mmmm, peanut butter cup.....
Somebody on the thread asked what's lbgal: it's actually LBgal (Long Beach girl).
Speaking of which - I might soon become SCgal. After long debates with my DH we are considering moving to SC to be closer to his family. Does anybody know/heard of/ can recommend a good breast oncologist in the Greenville, SC area? I asked this question on the triple negative board but I didn't get any answers. Thank you all!

My Mom is diabetic and when I was out in Sarasota I tried her Publix brand sugar free yogurt carmel something.. WOW! I didn't miss anything it was really good. Perfectly yummy. Trader Joes has super yummy dark chocolate peanut butter cups - 99 cents for a nice handful of them. We bought our annual Samoas cookie box from the Girl Scouts! DH finished those in 2 days.. haha
Right back atcha Blondie- group ((((hugs)))))
Ibgal- SC is pretty. You will die and go to heaven with the housing prices! WhooHoo! Hope you find a job you like.

Morning gals! Okay.... wake up! EYE was the little Camp-Fire girl! Hah....! It was sooo much fun... We even went camping.... not far from here.... One night it started raining sooooooo hard, that we all had to pile into the "shelter", soaking wet, with our sleeping bags... but it was a blast.
Made hamburgers by turning an old tomato juice can upside down, cutting out one end, and building our own little fire underneath the can! We cut out a square so the fire would not go out... guess it worked....
No we didn't sell cookies... but we did lots of crafts, and sold them, and went to nursing homes to give them away. And SWIMMING in this old muddy lake.... until the Polio scare, and then we couldn't anymore....
You guys are all so fun.... thought of you with this song.... I LOVED this, when some of us gals would go dancing when our Husbands were deer hunting! WE would go out and have a blast!....

Patty - seriously??? You are among friends.. you can be grumpy, icky and moody.. bitchy and what not! It's being human in Cancerland - you've been through the wringer weeks of hospital stays and infections diarrhea! If you were all smiley and happy and goofy upbeat - we would wonder what they slipped you - and where do we go to get some!!!
So glad you are home and sleeping in your own bed, don't over do it! Sleep and rest! Be well and may Spring com to your neck of the woods. I am almost embarrassed at how gorgeous it is here in Oregon 70 degrees... sunny, blue skies and flowers opening everywhere. Normally it's rainy and cold and I better shut up.
Love the hugging owls.0 -
jealous indeed. Was a mild winter here Til first if Feb and we have had slot of snow ( record amounts ) and ice in the ground. Still snow out there melting was below freezing everyday for like 3 weeks. Really unheard of here. But spring is coming quickly. Flowers will bloom and grass will need to be Mowed often. But yes the sun will shine on me many more days.

Spring is busting out all over, sunny blue skies, and flowers blooming?? The best ever! Patty you made it home just in time to enjoy the start of Spring. We have all come so far, we do deserve a beautiful blooming Spring wherever we may be. Have a nice evening!

Chevy, Yay it made it there in one piece. It's smoke grey though not burgundy. But that's okay what ever color you are seeing is okay. I love the feel of the coca cola tapered glass. I got two in cobalt same day. Can't say Coke glass. That'll cause someone to monitor us. Oh, maybe now that's coke spoon. Whatever? It was thrifted with you in mind. If it breaks, tell me I'll find another one. You said previously that you had never seen the embossed glass. Can't say that I have either. But have seen some since. Have fun. Chocolate Coke in an embossed Coca-Cola glass. Small enjoyments.
DBF officially moved out(change of address done--very, very good insurance wise).....All move out days should be so good....Sex....hvac system check.......return air duct filters changed......recyclables taken out(full)......he paid for dinner.....and filled the gas tank.............we laid down some rules(me). We have done this twice before. Not this amicably. CAMI, you are right.......time will tell. Chevy's Reason, Season....may come into play in ways not known. Dini could tell. Dini was quite nervous until he left, then went to the couch.
Patty, Glad you are home. Figure an in-house walking circuit. Kind of like musical chairs, but instead of a chair being taken away, you sit. Recover. Walk a little more.

Sassy- I hope the change gives you some peace in your life. We can like people, but it is not always do-able to live with other people.
