    Chevy- that comment is unbelievable. I would have said "no facial hair but I might be sprouting a penis!" I know, I am bad. LOL!

    Thanks for that steel drum link. What a great song to do on the steel drums. I am playing the tenor or lead pan, that place the melody. There are three levels of drums from tenor to bass (the huge ones in the back). I am going to buy one after this class, and will drive my neighbors crazy......

    Wow chevy, you went from snow to summer almost overnight.  Pretty garden. It's in the 90s all week, normal for here. I've been thinking (dangerous I know) about stocking up on water. Haven't decided yet.

    Jazzy, I take Prolia injections for bone loss from every 6 months. My oncologist wanted to go 10 years on Arimidex but I'm tired of side effects and thankful I made it on Arimidex for 5 years.
    HiO...they found the liver tumor on Petscan at diagnosis. Met with tumor board and said its in tricky location and dangerous to biopsy. Over the last 5 years I've had multiple imaging tests on it. Liver doc says if it grows after stopping Arimidex they will start chemo treatment.
    Hi Chevy, I'm hoping it's nothing as well. Sure love your yard.
    Hugs to all...

    Our SIL's Brother in Law has Carcinoid.... a tumor or tumors on or near his liver.... It's very treatable, and this was discovered like 12 years ago!

    Pawprint- I am glad you are doing okay with everything. I hope you don't have to do chemo. May your little tumor just hang out there and do no harm. I do Prolia shots too, had my first in January and going in for the second one next month.

    Finished TC #2 about 2 hours ago. No headache in between the eyes like last time but my brain feels like it's gone for a swim.

    Happy dance Blondie!!! I hope your trip is the bestest. Marlana hope things are doable for you.

    I am highly irritated right now. Our local hospital sent us to collections for our refusal to pay a 100 ER penalty that we would not have incurred had they sent our DD to mental health treatment but they didn't they booted her home.... only to end up at the ER via police the following day! Then another 100 ER fee! Then I found out through our insurance had the hospital coordinator pushed and made phone calls DD could have been admitted but they sent her home saying everything was closed to us for the weekend- in fact there were open beds. So we had all this hassle and drama and 200 fines for absolutely no treatment other then "holding cell" for a suicidal 12 year old. We didn't even take her to the ER the cops did! Still we get fined 100.00 for ZERO benefit. Anyway the collection folks were their usual "drastic measures will be taken if you do not pay up by 9pm tonight or no later then 3pm tomorrow." What BS. I will never use their ER again for any reason.. might not use them for anything at all. They can kiss my ass if they ever see any of our business. Vote with your wallet!

    I had a bunch of what I thought were unneeded tests - duplicates of the ones I had in late Jan and late Feb my onc wanted.. at this same facility. I cancelled them. If they think I am handing them over 2K worth of tests, scans- revenue etc.. after our ER experiences - which on numerous occassions have sucked or been harmful.. they are crazy. I have an onc visit on Monday and I am so irritated already. Stupid office visits are waste of time. We sit and stare at each other. He never answers me, or gives me ridiculous answers and gets paid nearly 250 and I always leave wondering what exactly I got out out of the encounter. I am too disgusted to change oncologists again.. they are all the same.. Mr. Potato heads.. different features same guts. Besides I already had my DWD office visit here and need only to hand in the paperwork to finish and pay 3k for the drugs. Who knows what hassles await in another practice. I am so disgusted with everything.. I never feel good ever.. just only gets worse and worse..if you take the drugs it's miserable... miserable if you don't... miserable if you do. Depressing. I am going to go to bed. Venting has only made me feel guilty for dumping.. thanks for listening. Blondie how's hospice? Maybe I should switch gears.. I just need to get to August to watch my youngest until camp, then school. I am tired. Cancer can win.

    And I remember when a Trojan was our "friend." Winking

    I know this is a silly question, but do you have a program like Norton? Or McAfee? And can you "block" mail that looks funny when it comes in, and not open it? And do you have a small-size .22 caliber weapon if all else fails?

    Jazzy--I live 4 miles from the beach and yet I rarely go! I guess that comes with living my whole life, even my college years, within a short distance from the shore

    sas--good luck with the virus. Ignore Chevy's advice about a small caliber weapon. You may need something like a Glock .40

    Marlanb- how are the SEs today? I hope you are hanging in there.

    I grew up by the beach on the east coast and always miss it this time of the year. My sister is back east and telling me about her beach time, although she says the water is very cold in June! I remember that part too. Despite the desert setting, I have lots of beachy flip flops!

    SE's are okay. I just have zero energy--I got tired just walking 20 feet to the bathroom! Sheesh!

    I think the cold is the reason I don't go to the beach. It's supposed to be in the upper 70's here this weekend but then the beaches get crowded and I hate crowds!

    Sassy, I have used MacAfee in the past. If I get a funny looking email from someone I know, I send them a separate email asking if they sent it. Usually the answer is no. I delete anything that looks funny or comes from an unknown website. How long have you had this computer? I would try to back up any photos or urgent items on to a thumb drive. There's a chance they may have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall. Are you sure the site that says you have all these problems trustworthy? I would run a scan from someone else as well and see if you get the same results. Could be the virus remover itself is a scam.

    I don't go to the beaches either, just a few minutes away from Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is like bath water now, about 85 degrees. No freezing there!!

    The beach just sounds lovely in my mind. Then reality sets in about how easily I sunburn, how much sun lotion it takes and how I have to eventually put on cover up clothing in the heat. Rit dye makes a package that you wash into clothing to make it spf 50.

    Sunburn is just another reason I don't go. Could go watch the sunset, they can be spectacular. Crowds, car gets full of sand, nah. I'm here because it doesn't snow here.
