TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Good night friends!

Just popping in to say "I'm here" and I've got notes......just haven't been able to post yet! Thinking of all of you and will try to stay awake to post in a bit..if not, see you in the morning! (Before I head in to Mom's!)

Silka: Just to let you know..The Zoo is called "African Wildlife Safari" and is in Port Clinton, Ohio. DD says it is 17 Miles West of Cedar Point.

Hugs,
Denise

uh Vicki sorry hon, it's not friday yet. Is it?
To do tomorrow? nothing that I know of. Next week I'm gonna be running my ass off. Wanna join me?

Good Day in the Circle!! Both Karen and Shel received their afghans of Hugs!! Dang Shel, About the postal service in Canada!!!!

Mena: So nice to see you post! You sound quite Chipper! I know what you mean about feeling the love here......so many strangers turned into loving friends! You don't owe any thanks to us......just enjoy and continue to feel better.

Marsha: I was just about to say that we haven't been in any trouble lately...........and then I see your post and find out you managed all by yourself!! Was it something about having your Cherry Broke and Peter in the same Paragraph??

MB: I am AMAZED! Didn't know you were such a rebel!! I don't know which is better..the pic of the tattoo or the visual of you scanning the tattoo!! You are a hoot! And I love the tattoo!

Gina and Z: Glad to hear from both of you. Don't stay away so long.......we worry. G: Hope you get some relief soon..geesh, why won't Dr's listen.

Liz: Quit Scratching! Reminds me of my son.......he was about 19 maybe 20. Came in one night, late and woke me up. He had tears rolling down his cheeks..........don't know if it was the pain or the embarrassment...........but he had the worse case of poison Ivy on his Male doo dad. He was mortified that he had to show me and I was mortified cuz I didn't know what the hell it was. (The poison ivy not the Male doo dad!) Took him to the Doctors the next day and it was a young PA that saw him. PA actually burst out laughing and brought in a co-worker to take a peek! Okay, TMI!

Shirley: 3 hours for an Aredia Infusion? Don't really know what it is, but seems like they could build new bones in that amount of time. You didn't swallow your fake tooth did you? I think it was Jan that was so kind as to fill us in on the 'what happens when' a crown is swallowed! Boy got wheels! No more taking to work!! Now it'll be, 'can I borrow gas money!'

Jan: New Dishwasher........I can't be without my Dishwasher!

Yes Shirley, you missed the pic of my DH's idea of repairing my dryer! I'll try to find the page it is on! I totally embarrassed him cuz I told him that I posted it!! Anyhow, the board is gone and the new part is in place........God knows we don't want to buy a new one.........I've learned that "indoor" appliances are supposed to last forever!!

Iris: Welcome home! Great re-cap.........!! Hope the folks are doing okay.

Deb: Our human Earthquake! Never a dull moment for you! Hope you have a great time this weekend!

Lisa: Our busy traveling Sister! Travel and Volunteer work..I think that is wonderful!

Suz: The Son is enjoying Day Camp.......that's a good thing! How old is he?

Madison and Shirley: I'll seriously think about PinkStock..let me do some reading on the thread and figuring in my head..(scary thought!)........I'll get back with you on that!

Margaret: Hey to you and I have no idea what I wrote next to your name! Something about the squares????

Beth: Catch a break kiddo........hope things look up for your Mom.

Lisa: Forgot to tell you that those Llamas are the cutest things!

Shirley: I'm glad your sister is doing well. The cancer has not spread and she is ornery about the Coloscopy.....2 good things! Sending her thoughts and prayers. I'll be thinking about you when you go for your "squishim girls" checkup!

Nicki: 4 days off!!! You so deserve it........I don't want to hear of you doing anything but relaxing and pampering yourself!!

Betty: Your friends bring llamas to city at Christmas time? Interesting, but puzzling.........how do they get them there?

Odalys: Good to hear from you! Geez, DH and DS were home one night and you shipped them off again! We all better take some lessons from you!! Hope the "challenges" at work got demisafied! (New word!)

Kristen: Hope you get that position soon! You've waited long enough.......I hate the 'proper steps' companies have to go through. Hope you are still working on your CD!

Trisha: You sound so good! I'm proud of you Sister....no little "beast" is going to keep you down!

Sheri: Leaving Tuesday, eh? You have a great and safe trip! Enjoy your time at the pool with the FL crew!

Robin: Who are you and what have you done with our Robin?!The new attitude was a good thing, but now you are turning into a combo of Martha Stewart and Betty Crocker!!

Shokk: Come to Michigan.......get away from the rain! We've had a surprisingly dry summer so far........hope I didn't just curse us. Whatever trip you decide to take..you will have fun! Flying is pricey right now, but the drive sounds like a good time too!

Pam: You most definitely are not selfish in anyway. I sometimes feel guilty with my piddly complaints too....so many are having hard times....but then I remember that we are all important to each other and eager to share the good times and the bad! I'll have to tell you about my son's tattoo also.

Theresa: Thank god you warned Peter about the single girls on here!!!! Don't want to scare him off!!

Vickie: Think I can talk DH into dropping me off at Pinkstock and then he can spend the weekend at your house putting your patio in for you??????

I've missed many, but It is way past my bedtime!!!!!!!!

Cheri: Come out and talk to us...at least PM me and let me know you are all right.

Susan: MIA????

Hugs,
Denise

Evening kids,

Peter it’s safe to come out of your wagon. Welcome!

Silka (Doris) – take care of you.

Denise – LOL I know it’s not funny about your son. I cannot imagine having poison ivy there. BUT how did he explain it got there? My dryer door is held closed with Velcro. Used Duct tape for a long time but got tired of doing that. Actually the Velcro works really well. LOL you definitely need to come to Pinkstock!

Vickie – get your thyroid checked. I had thyroid problems pre BC – asked to have my T3-T4 levels checked and they were low also. I’m on an additional pill now and actually have some energy. Hugs! I had to look at the calendar as I thought you said it was Friday.

Nicki – woohooo girl. 4 days off. You enjoy yourself and don’t kill DH.

MB – I do love ya kiddo. I can just imagine what you scanning your tattoo actually looked like. Where was your boss?

Mena!!!!!! – So good to see you. If you promise to stick around, I’ll send you a surprise. Hugs.

Robin – I so need to clean. It’s just not a priority to me nowadays. I need to paint and the whole thing. Have had this big plan to redo a bathroom. Haven’t touched anything yet. Don’t overdo!

Marsha – Geez I always miss the good stuff. Hope you’re taking the time to rest. I didn’t do rads but have heard how tired they make you. I so enjoy your humor and wit.

Sher – well the Aredia does take awhile. It will be making those bones nice and strong so you won’t be as fragile. Glad your sis is doing well. You are going to be really busy next week. I need to talk to you about NYC after Pinkstock.

Gina – let me know what the doctor said about your treatment. Come here when you can sweetie.

Z – Sure do miss you. Those were great pics.

Amy – I’m sure you’ll worry about your animals but I’m sure your niece will love them too. They’ll be okay and you should go and enjoy your vacation.

Sheri – have a great relaxing time in FL.

Trisha – wow! You are doing great girl.
Beth – for heavens sake. Enough is enough now. I sure hope Ringo leaves soon. I’m glad your doc is being overly cautious though.

Jan – a new dishwasher. I don’t even have one. My kitchen is too small for it and I don’t want to lose any cabinet space.

Shokk – I know you’re sick of this weather and so am I. Jasmine and I were talking awhile back about having a get together sometime in Branson. I want to go to San Antonio also.

Jasmine - where are you?

Betty – hope you are well. I know you’re in Kansas but for the life of me can’t remember where. Or do I have the wrong person? I stay so confused.

Cheri – Okay missy – I know Jen’s death has you horribly upset. You know as well as I do that she would not want you to be though. She was a wonderful caring woman and a great person. She is now an angel watching over you as well as her family. If you don’t show up, I just might have to head that direction. Please let us know you’re okay.

Susan – guess I’ll have to head your way also. Where are you??????? Great pics of y you and Christine.

If I’ve not mentioned you by name please know it has nothing to do with you. I think of each of you daily.

Time for me to go slather more stuff on my leg and go to bed.

Hugs, Prayers and Love
Liz

Liz I think you have my info and I know MB has the list I sent her from the Christmas Cards! It's in XCEL
I hope to spend some time next week going through all my mail so I can get the addresses from the wonderful cards you all have sent me.

I've tried to read back to see how everyone is doing and looks like we are sending up more heartfelt prayers! Please know you are all in my prayers!

Welcome Peter and Silka I think I missed you're coming into the Wagon Circle. It's just the best place to be!

Got some more reading to dfo but wanted to touch base in case I get to tired from sitting still!

I did #5 of the Abraxane and #1 of the Avastin last night. Other than neuropathy, some bumbs, lots of hair loss and being tired I'm doing OK!

HUgs and Prayers to all except Lini who gets extras gentle hugs for now

Good evening ladies and gent. Welcome Peter. I haven't seen a post from you but I've heard you're here. Just jump right on in, everyone's very nice.

Vickie, thanks for the ecard it was very cute. Sorry I haven't posted but Amber has been cutting into my puter time and I just kept getting more behind and I didn't want to post until I had read all the other posts. I've been taking notes for 2 days and can't even read some of them. I've also spent alot of time lying down. Have quite a bit of swelling in my leg, the good leg, go figure. Well, it's actually both but the good one shouldn't be this way. I go back to the dr. in Iowa next thurs. so I can make sure everything is alright.So sorry that I worried you but I figured you'd know i was ok by my emails. Wow, and is that as bossy as you can get?? teehee I've missed you too and you better not have had a cigarette, I don't have any idea how I've done it but I have not even had a cheater puff since Apr.11th. This coming from a 3 pack a day, 30yr smoker. And I've had some stress. lol Vickie, you've done really well too and you hang in there.

Shokk, Missouri is a really pretty state. It'd be great for you to go on vacation to Branson. Susan just lives about an hr. from there and I'm about an hour and a half. We'd have great fun.

Mena, don't worry dear, I could never be meaner than you. lol So glad to see a post from you and praying your test will turn out well next week. I sure have missed your razor....uh...sharp wit. hahahha

Shirley, so good to have you back.

Gina, hope you're feeling well.

Shel, congrats on Mackenzie! You must've raised her right.

Shirley, You know the Playmate song, my Mama sang it to me, I sang it to Amber, and we both sing it to the boys! Except you don't have the words quite right. But you're close. Mine doesn't mention a rainbow, "Hey little playmate come out and play with me, and bring your dolly (soldiers) three, climb up my apple tree, look down my rain barrell, slide down my cellar door and we'll be jolly friends forever more." I've never known anybody but my family that knew that song. Cool.

Liz, you are a good cookie. BTW, I talked to Susan tonight and she's just fine.

I want to say Hey to Janny, Jazz, Iris, Gus, Boo, Nicki, Marsha, Betty, Karen, Kristin, Suz, Silka, Denise, Madison, Cheryl, Robin, Amy, Margaret, Lini, Tricia, and anyone else that I missed. Wishing all of you a restful night and a good day tomorrow.

One more thing, thank you all very much for the condolences on Jen. I know she and I were just Cyber friends but it's so easy to develop a strong bond on here. I appreciated all the kind words, you are truly good friends.

Jennys Friend,
Cheri

I'll be back in a bit...
Morning sunshine sisters Jankay and Betty...good night and sweet dreams Peter. Hey thats pretty good, I get to tuck people in at both ends of the day now.
I love ya all!!! Just to pieces!!!
Vickie

that would be me today LOL

Yes, I woke up late today. Its nice waking up and knowing ya dont have to go to work. Normally when I get up the house is quiet and I enjoy that quiet time. Not this morning. All the animals are awake including my husband. Its not fair I say!

Lini: I laughed when I read your post about the jammies. By time my exchange surgery came - I learned to be an expert at having surgery. So I got new jammies and wore them to and from the hospital. Aha - didnt have to change when I got home. They were mint green - by that time I had enough of pink already.

Jan: I really get physically ill from high humidity. My SIL is throwing a july 4th bash and Im hoping we have warm, but dry weather that day. Otherwise I will be in her house all day in air conditioning. Usually this is an all nighter! Hoping all goes well with your sons surgery today.

Lisa: Ummm! that nice scent that was in the was a nice, dry merlot. I have definitely switched to red wine.

Robin: OMG - you remindme when I was a little girl. My mom did house cleaning like that and boy was she crabby until it was done.

Iris: Welcome home. I didnt understand why your posts were so small and at first I though you were talking about the fruit when you mentioned blackberry.

Sherloc: That sister story was too funny.

Vickie: Sure dont like the sounds of you being so tired. Some days I feel so great, and other days I cant get out of bed. Dont know if its related to treatment - but all my tests are normal. Wish I had something to blame it on.

Denise: Ahahahaha "got notes." And Im picturing a doo dah with poison ivy.

Silka: I love posting pictures. Feel they tell everyone a little bit about my personality.

Pam: Like Wally's station. Oh that cracked me up.

MargaretB: That was a cute story about your mom. They certainly know how to push our buttons.

Liz: Hoping that poison ivy is getting better. Someone mentioned predinisone and if its still bad, maybe you could get your doctor to order a medral dose pak.

CY: Wow - 5 down! Its seems like only yesterday you had your first chemo.

CatherineH: This thread can be overwhelming at times cause we are just so chatty. So just hop right in and dont worry about reading all the posts.



Cheri: Glad to know everything is going ok.

Peter: Wow, that was an amazing story. Glad you found us. I was first diagnosed in April 2005! So hey, being from Australia - are you having your winter now?

Well - my dog knows the difference between me getting ready for work and getting ready for a walk. Time to sneak in my first mile. Hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Nicki

Jankey: Aha, I purposed put in ear plugs so I could sleep a little later. Didnt hear your wake up call.

Good Morning Sunshine sisters. (brother) is sleeping.

Jankay, Betty, Odalys, and Vickie: Hope you have a wonderful day.

Nicki

Geesh, you miss one day and there are too many posts to catch up on! I have not read all of them yet, but hopefully will get a chance to catch up later.

I am closing my eyes right now and praying for any sisters having tests, procedures, or appointments toay, or anyone who is anxiously awaiting results. And sending hugs to everyone!

This week has been a whirlwind for me, but I am enjoying being so busy! However, I do NOT like that it is cutting into my board time! I hope that next week is a little less crazy so I can keep up with everyone!

Went to the coffeehouse last night and performed 2 songs. I think they went well! We were asked to do a show or split a show (it seems to be a common practice to split a 2 hour show slot with another performer) so we are going to try to get a date lined up! It is very exciting!

This weekend DH and I are taking the boys camping. So I won't be checking in until Monday! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Kristin

Hi Catherine, don't worry about keeping up, sometimes it's really hard, especially when you've been gone a few days. Just jum in when you can.

Cheri, glad you checked in. And I am so proud of you for not smoking - that is awesome.

Nicki, enjoy your time off.

Peter, thanks for the background.

Ok, it takes me an hour to read so I never have time to exercise (good excuse huh) but it's now time to get up and shower. Everyone have a good day.

Margaret
