    a year ago, this time, a friend was dx. Her 3 DD are the same ages as my 2 kiddos. She was shocked, as we all were, to be dx & stage 3. . I sent her a card, told her she had my permission to tell the first person, that said "just stay positive" to "F" off. She & her family loved it ! Tell it like it is. I could be much more direct, witty, snarky now. When I was dx, 20 months ago, I was in such distress, I could barely converse about my situation. My DH & kids were my rock, still are. Now, I have lines, comebacks, ready to take on a fool. Sadly, all the curious, have moved on. I had many folks last summer ask, "did they get it all, how long do you have" ?ah, not sure, no crystal ball.

    No, I ain't riding in no damn trunk! Wouldn't it just be a kick if we COULD all meet somewhere, where there are no authorities, and a long beach, and just bring picnics and sing and dance and raise all kinds of hell?

    We would all have tents, and sleeping bags, and yes, bring your pets, and it would be MAHvelous!

    Have you guys seen this?

    I'm getting my tent together for our camping trip, Chevy. What do you think?

    Frankly, I think it would be infinitely more fun than camping out in this hospital room recliner looking after my sick hubby.

    MAGS!!!!!!!!!!! Haaaaaaaaah! I LOVE that tent! One time when the girls were little, we drove up in the mountains to Delaney Buttes near Waldon...

    Stayed overnight... but such a WIND-STORM the next morning! I was holding Janie, when she was about 2 in my arms in the tent, sitting on a cot, and the wind blew the tent over, and I sat there holding it up with my head! I was soooooooo scared! The day before I washed the dishes in the lake!

    Oh man, I wouldn't do it again.... Well, MAYbe I would.... those were great memories... Winking

    After THAT trip we splurged to stay in cabins..... ThumbsUp

    Mags tent reminds me of Harry Potter :)

    Oh yeah, getting more abnormal by the minute. Oh, to have a chiropractor in the cupboard.

    I love the stupid comments thread. It'similar to Shreks thread.,but the gals are snarkier. Lot's of juicy comebacks. Except I read'em and can't remember them.

    Great now my face is turning numb. GreAt to pretend being normal.

    I used to love camping, did lots of it my teens and 20s. But now I must have a bed. Rustic cabin okay, but need a mattress to sleep on!

    I love camping. We did it with our kids and soon our grandkids. In Bend, OR we stayed at a state park and had a yurt. Cooking was outside, but it had actual beds inside and was really comfortable. Best of all, they had solar heated showers with enough hot water for the whole campground to take long showers. Can't beat that after wandering around the desert.

    I remember these cabins we used to stay in... They only had beds, curtains, bedding, table & chairs and a coal stove. I learned how to bake a Prime Rib in that thing....! That was after I put my soaking wet flip-flops in the oven when it was heating the cabin up, and I forgot they were in there, and melted them! Hah! But we had so much fun without all the "modern" stuff....

    We even brought our own dishes, pots and pans and everything we had to use to cook .... like sugar, coffee.... etc. We would make coffee in a big camp coffee pot.... boiled water with coffee grounds... on top of the coal stove.... My Grandma made coffee that way....Never had an electric coffee-maker....

    No phones, only in the nearest town.... about 10 miles away. We would walk down to this creek, and lay in the sand, and pretend it was Acapulco, and eat our picnic and laugh the whole time!

    There was bathroom, but it was in the same place as the shower house... And none of us would only walk down there, unless we REALLY had to go...

    And listening to my BIL SNORE all night! I don't miss that at all.....

    My mother's idea of camping was going to un upscale hotel and opening the windows! She was just like spookiesmom... "Mankind spent millions of years camping in caves and tents to survive and we have now evolved where there are structures with running water, food, heat etc.. I am not going backwards in time!" It must skip a generation because I like camping, but was never taken camping as a kid. The cabin is the perfect middle path... rustic with electric, and water and toliet. Medicatingnice. We did lots of BLM campng when the kids were little, diapers and bring in your own water even! That's hard core, loved it saw some wild and lovely places.

    camped last year....couldn't stop laughing in the morning, cause I couldn't figure out how to get out of the tent....crawl forward...back out....and then of course once you get out...now we have to stand. It was pretty funny. Body is not the same....beds are bette

    So did you gals ever make a fire under an upside down tomato juice can? You cut the top off, and poke a hole in the side at the top... cut out a square around the top, and turn it upside down, and put sticks and paper under it, light a fire, and when it really gets going, put your hamburger patty on top and cook it?

    Don't remember how look THAT took, but I leaned that in Camp Fire girls...Winking

    A coal/wood stove is a little better... just don't put rubber ANYthing in there to dry off... Ha! And listening to the coyotes howl at night when you had to sneak out back to tinkle in the woods? And hope to DOG that no-one else was out there?

    Oh I forgot... Mike, Carol's Son wrote back and said they are maybe sending Carol home next FRIDAY!!! MAN, I never thought that would happen that SOON....

    I wrote back, and asked if someone will be staying with her..... She still can only answer "yes or NO".... But can scoot around using her left foot from the wheel-chair...

    Sass, I asked her if she could write something down, and she said "NO!!!!!!".... So either she can, or won't... but there is nothing wrong with her thinking. She knows what we are talking about... and nods her head, or laughs, or says NO...

    I'm sure Mike and her team know what is best for her... And her family IS big enough to come around, and take turns caring for her.... There is also home nursing care, and rehab....

    I think someone tried to hack BCO last night. Look at a couple three pages of the active topics. Bet the mods were frantic. Why would someone want to do that?
