    I describe the word I have stuck in my head refusing to come our or I use some silly similar word and we all laugh and someone will say the word for me or we simply know what I mean. We have been at this for 13 years now and my family calls it "Renaisms" ;-D.

    Hugs to all!

    I like that, RE. I have those all the time. Too bad the result is not always nicely conditioned hair--more like the peanut butter in the fridge, or keys in my hand after I've spent minutes looking all around for them. I have even forgotten to pay a bill or two (shh, don't tell Aortus. Fortunately, they were not the kind of bill that shows up on your credit report!)

    Your secret is safe with me!
    Moopy I love your new look you are beautiful what a great smile. My guess is
    Aortus would be forgiving should he find out. :-D Hope you're having a great weekend!

    Ritzy,
    Thank you for this excuse. With this and being over 50 yrs old, I think people should let me "slide" on my shortcomings!

    Moopy,

    Moopy,

    This picture is so gosh darn cute. What a great smile and how cute your hair looks. Love the color and it is so adorable on you. And heck, I've forgotten a bill or two and I didn't have chemo, and I can't spell for a darn anymore and I forget stuff all the time. Oh, I'm just going to say it's chemo brain anyway.

    chemo brain
    I love using that as an excuse for forgetting things...
    I know I had it while I was on chemo, but does it stay with you (I heard it does)?

    I did that before Chemo LOL
    I would just say, I meant to do that. I wanted a conditioning treatment! LOL. You dont need an excuse, especially if it made you smile!

    Question for Moopy
    I dont want to say to much, but do you have a sister in Col and works for a law firm? There is a lady in the building I work with and she has a sister with BC. She said Moopy so I thought it might be you. Just wondering.

    GOd bless.

    And of course...I NEVER had chemo-brain! Being as my sweet Reggie is Native American, and we were living on the Reservation when I was diagnosed, I had Kemo-Sabe brain! Funny, it acts just like chemo brain does; go figure! LOL LOL
