♥ I am here Sweet Stef ♥
♥


I am soooooooooooo happy if my PM lifted your spirits! I had noticed that you just didn't quite seem yourself on here and got worried. You are such a bright smile on here Stef that I notice when I don't see all of your pearly whites gleaming! lol

I pray that everything in your life will calm down and be resolved. You know that we are all here to help you in anyway that we can! Always and forever Stef...that is what sisters do for each other!

I discovered Facebook and Farmville! OMG...I have become an addict! My hubby just smiles and shakes his head when I say " I have to check my farm." lol But, it is fun and so many of our CSN sisters are there. Yep, farming right along side me. Gotta love it!

Wishing you good luck with your tests this week. Please let us know anything when you can. I go in again to my plastic surgeon this week to get more injections of the steroid for the lumps I have. The one that he gave me the shots in last time is gone, which is a huge relief. Now, just one more lump to go and I am praying that it will be gone after this round of shots. I think David might wear gloves this time. I think I hurt him the last time when I not only squeezed his hand reallyyyyyyyyyy hard, but, I sunk my nails into his hand. I said I was sorry. Geeshhhhhhhh

I miss the RAD B's! That was a fun thread, wasn't it? And, TJ's quest for pictures of us at all ages. Fun stuff! It is good that we move on somewhat, don't you think? But, I will always be some part of this site as it helped me thru so much. I owe all of you, everyone on here, all that I can give when needed.

So Stef, your flock has come home! We all love you, a LOT!

Love, Jeanne ♥</♥</font>

P. S. My new avatar pic is of one of the hearts that David made in the snow for me for Valentine's Day. He had them all over the acreage here so that I would see one out of any and all of the windows whenever I looked out! It was the best gift ever!

sorry Stef
issues, cancer related or not, can get annoying when they hang around too long. Hope you get everything resolved. You all lift my spirits whenever I visit here, and if you need to vent, you know we are here for you.
I think my melancholy lately has been because it was President's Day weekend three years ago that I got my diagnosis. The actual date is Feb 19, but it was that holiday weekend that I hung around after having the needle biopsy, waiting for the news. But today is a better day (can smile for real, not just show teeth!), the infection seems to be letting go, and it is a beautiful warm sunny day. Maybe all I needed was the gift of all of you here.
Smile like you mean it!

Stef...in case you didn't see on the Turqouise thread...I have Tasha's home address ( as I have the addresses of all of you who participated in the ornament exchange) and I thought I would send her a REAL card...and I am putting out the word that if anyone here wants me to include their username on the card, let me know!!!!

Hugs,

Noel,
I know all of you
Noel,

I know all of you deeply care about the board etc. and I am so delighted that many of you are doing new or old things. I also understand about it being so hard to see so many newbies and feeling sad. I have always felt other people's diagnoses more than my own. It's because I can fight my own, but am helpless to fight for someone else. But I always worry when I don't here from some of my old friends here that they are gone because of something bad and not something good. Although logic says that gone is good and if something is wrong we usually post for support. But am happy to hear from so many of you. And that you are all in good health, most in good spirits and enjoying life. So cheers to that.
And Chen, what a great job for you and a great service you are providing that couple. Not only will they eat healthier (very important), they can eat in a more timely manner because you have meals waiting, and they can spend time together relaxing. How wonderful.
I just want all my family on here to know that I love each and everyone of you and wish nothing but the best in health, happiness, family, friends and that you all are enjoying life even though you may be starting your journey, in the middle of your journey, finishing the journey or moving on. My heart, my prayers, my thoughts and my blessings to you all.
Stef

Miss Moopy Replies
Well, even though the Moopinator wasn't mentioned, I am going to be vain and include myself in your list and chime in to say I miss you, too, Stef!

I think of you often-- I just miss you. I remember this last summer, when you and Cat and Tasha and Claudia and Pammy and Christmas Girl and Jeanne and so many others had me literally laughing til it hurt and I had tears in my eyes. Will never forget the hedgehog recipe.

Every one of you is in my heart. I may not have your address or have your name listed here, but I have you in my heart. And so does Aortus.

As for my absence, I went back to a different position at work, no longer sitting at my desk and writing e-mails as I listen to NPR. I'm on the phone all day instead. Even at just 3 days, I am so tired. Plus, I am getting physical therapy on my left arm 2 or 3 times a week and trying to do all the typical daily chore things, and also get out and have some fun. I do visit FB, as some know, but lately I've been too tired of staring at a work computer screen to do more than pop in ever once in awhile, as here, to contribute what I can, and see that my dear friends are ok.

Tasha e-mailed me awhile back on FB and reported computer problems, a hacker. She created a new profile and sent a new friend request. I thought I was having a chemo brain moment as I thought I'd added her already. Her artwork is getting recognition, and is being displayed at a local shop! I am so proud of her. If I hear from her myself, I will report in. I am hoping that it is just computer issues still and her art work and moving on with life that has kept our Turquoise Girl away.

About Mimi, remember that she has always avoided posting on weekends and holidays and days at a time. She did express once that she needed to step back from online bc activities and sites as she felt she was not moving on but keeping-bc-on-her-mind. If she were fearful and experiencing any bc-related issues, I believe she would come to us. Or she would post her fears at youngsurvivors.org, which she has not as far as I have seen. If she needed us, she would let us know, I hope...

As for me, I miss everyone, just like Stef. I'm hoping to get my energy back to be a more "there" friend. The plaque that Taleena sent and I have prominently displayed is true of our friendships:

"We'll be friends forever, won't we,Pooh,?" asked Piglet.

"Even longer," Pooh answered.

I wondered if you had been
I wondered if you had been buried in all the horrible snow, blizzard, ice etc. Glad that you are digging your way out. Now you have to also catch up with work. It is so good to hear from everyone. I just love it. I am so happy. Doesn't take much, just hearing from good friends puts a big toothy smile on my face. I could just break into a dance. I would say song and dance but that would be torture. I can dance but I can't sing. Well, I used to dance. Anyway so glad to hear from so many of you. Happy, Happy, joy, joy, joy.
Stef

So good to read that you
So good to read that you feel happy now Stef! It is great to read from ones that haven't been on in awhile. I am not on that much, and, am lost when I do come on. Wishing good health to all.
