    Oh Enerva=--------------what price do they have on that thing-----I will say it again even though it's not the popular thing to do. Go to the Small Business Administration. You have a gift of skill with hand work. You can create something of beauty. Whatever the job you have.........you can do so much more because you can share withh the family. Hand work is a dying art.

    Not only developing an empire for sales, you could establish a school.

    Enevera------Honey will you make me one. if yes, How much? Ahahah. Value. Value is established at point of sale

    How do you value you're work? How do you value you're cousin's work?

    Oh Enerva, wonderful women, you have the door too wonders that you won't open

    I still much love you even if you choose to not open the door.

    But not knowing what is beyond that door, how do you deal with that?

    Made me think of the new MD Anderson commercial: You tried to take us all. I always add, under my breath, you took my boobs.

    The subject of Anderson came up in our cancer support group. Almost everyone said that their families urged them to go to Anderson. But then we discovered that they all talk to each other, consult with each other. Our leader, who had an aggressive and rare cancer, had a host of oncologists because she was in a trial. When her mom suggested Anderson, to get a second opinion, she replied, I have nine second opinions.

    Two of us have the same oncologist, and I learned that he didn't "cookie cutter" our treatment. Because of her early stage, he gave her a choice and options he didn't give me. But we both love him.

    A dear friend's brother died of cancer yesterday. It's trying to take everyone.

    I'm sorry Jazzy. It does seem that way. I don't know why but it seems like it's so common we are becoming desensitized to hearing that news.

    It's only 49 degrees out! Can you believe it? Supposed to warm up into the 70's later, but not soon enough. Got a lot of the Summer "stuff" put away or covered for the inevitable snow that is coming.

    Still have to organize my Winter clothes, and make them more accessible than my Summer ones! Do you guys in Florida even know what I'm talking about? Or do you even know what "boots" are? Or anything close-toed? Ha!

    Patrolling my area..........

    oh Chevy!!! Of course we do!!!!!

    You can always tell the locals from the tourists in winter!! They are like, this is Florida, it's January, IM WEARING SHORTS, my sunburn hurts and there's 10 feet of snow back home.

    The locals look like nanook of the north with boots and parkas. Even our dogs wear coats. image

    Spookie- that is good to hear. I have known several who have had the dx and done okay. My friend says she is doing chemo and rads, and eventually surgery. She said in her note that she is Stage 2, but that the tumor is in a difficult spot to do surgery. So I think they are going to hit it with the others stuff first. I hope to talk to her tomorrow.


  • spookiesmom
    spookiesmom Posts: 8,178

    That sounds like my friend too. No surgery. She is being watched with labs and stuff, still has the port. Her hair came back nice. She is so busy it's hard to snag her for lunch!!

    I moved my long sleeve T shirts into my closet on hangers. I kept a few short sleeve ones out just in case. Our high yesterday was 63 and it's supposed to be 61 today and raining. I will be inside at the senior center.
