    Mags, Could possibly be from radiation damage. They try to avoid lungs, but I think they can't totally.

    Gypsy, one time in the summer sun, I was painting something white... no sun-glasses.... After awhile my eyes were covered with cob-webs! Scared me 1/2 to death....I called an eye doctor, and was driving there, when they left, just like they started.... I got there, and he said they were worried about it being a de-tached retina.... but just so bad for your eyes to do what I was doing....

    I've had a floater years ago, but it finally went away....

    I've been told that your body, and all your parts will try and heal itself.... if given 1/2 a chance..... We can help it along, but right away, your body will go into panic-mode, and start sending all it's good resources to the troubled part....

    Am I dreaming here, or is this really true?

    hi ladies, here's FeelingFeline and me. Got to meet her kids also, I brought my SIL with me. It was fun to meet and really enjoyed meeting them. Now I have met 2 BC sisters. One in my neighborhood and one 6,000 miles away!

    We now know more about horse breeding then I ever wanted to. You know that rabbits breed then pass out after 30 seconds? Horses are similar, takes them about 2 minutes then he has to rest up for a bit to get ready for the next one. They can't use artificial insemination, so it's all natural. Poor things can service about 300-400 mares a season, which is about 3 months long. And to add insult the mares are mated again 14 days after giving birth! So about the time they have weaned the foal she's due with the next one. The stud fees range from €1,000 to €680,000. The stud farm only gets paid if the mare becomes pregnant and they only try twice.

    Will have new pics tomorrow, we made it to Kinsale, Southern Ireland about 6. Tired and hungry, going to call it an early night

    Spookie, Sassy, Frey - Joe Bastardi who some take with a grain of salt but I think he knows his stuff. Hinting at 3 somethings in the Atlantic next week. For us we're gonna get rain Wed. I pray. And cooler temps. Trade off, the high moved farther west. Just don't see how you can go from flooding to drought in 2 months but we have. Some of the lakes just opened up some areas this weekend. I need to start stocking water for the winter. Gozilla El Nino. I started drinking the tap water again some though do have a Brita pitcher in fridge.So I don't have as many used jugs I can fill up. I think they installed new scrubbers at the water plant.

    Sassy - Aldi. I go only for a few things. Another friend on here says they have smaller whole chickens. Ours only has the behemoth 4 pounders like everyone else. They do have wonderful German chocolate. DH ate my choc/raisin bars, very similar to I think the brand is Cadbury. Yummy. Oddball stuff mostly. Hope you took your spare plastic bags.

    Oh Smaarty looks like so much fun. Dare I say fun for the stud horse you saw also?? Glad you were able to meet up with Feeling Feline.

    Yippee North Texas is in the phase 2 (of 5 phases) of Blue Bell restocking. Hoping to get phase 1 rolled out by Aug 31, Brenham, Houston and Austin, Texas, areas, as well as parts of Alabama (where the producing plant is).

    Rosie - your beachie nap sounds exquisite.

    Smaarty and Feline!!!!! Yay!!!!! Nice pics!! It is sooo fun to meet BCO sisters.

    Mags, any chance you are/were a smoker? I am, got same issues. Doc blames cigs, never gave chemo Nulasta a thought.

    Sas we have an Aldi here. Never went, on service road for 19. Heard prices are good, selection small limited, must bring own bags.

    Spookie, I quit smoking 25 years ago, never had any problems before chemo.

    We're supposed to have highs of 70's and 80's this week. Ahhhhhh.

    Chevy- great pic of you too. Yes, I knew about rabbits as we raised them. Their equivalent of men falling asleep after. LOL!

    Smarrty, great pic of you and FF. The meetings are always so much fun :) Smarrty I'll cut and paste to W&F's

    Spookie and LMG, Aldi's is CHEAP. Upscale Save-a-Lot. I did take bags, but they had carts for a quarter. Quarter is returned when cart is put back in the cart section. Odd ball stuff for sure. 77$. Half (maybe) of what I would have spent at Publix's. I did get everything I need though. I'll keep going for awhile. Prices were surprising. I could probably make it work by planning specific meals. I'm into crock potting. Meals last for usually 3 days or generally 6-8 servings. DBF eats allot. Saves allot of work and he loves the stuff.

    Frenchfrye. Two week plan-got it. You are doing soooowell since that first night we talked YAY

    Mags, just like I said mantra 1.

    Kathy, so dislike it when medical/nursing folks discount what a patient says. Bad practice and can be dangerous.

    mags, I had a lot of trouble with lungs from last chemo. Ended last chemo, taxoyuck, last January. When I had a ct scan, it showed that my left lung wasn't inflating well. No other test showed anything and doc couldn't hear anything. Fast forward to today, I finally felt like it was working better a couple weeks ago. I was struggling big time when walking, biking, or anything. Mostly gasping for more oxygen. But now it's ok. Hope you get better too. Took 5/6 months for me

    mags, I also started with sustained ultra for the eyes, liquid fir the days, the heavy gel for nights. It's a bit better. The pharmacist told me it's the best over the counter you can get. Individual vials, so there are no preservatives in them. My eyes still go between tearing and lids sticking to eyeballs. But it s a bit better.

    Good luck
