I enjoy them too but like others, I often don't have a response to them. However, I love to read what others post.

[Getting to Know You - May 5]

I cook two nights a week and my husband cooks 2 nights a week. Saturday, we get appies from Costco or wherever and have a nice tray of those for dinner. Leftovers sometimes or ???

P.S. I hate cooking!! Would go to restaurants all the time if my husband liked them more and we had more money!!!

[You know it's a bad day when . . .]

Sending prayers for good CT results and also hope your sub does all the marking -- from one teacher to another.

[Those Darn Techs- Updated!!!!]

Debi--

I'm beyond thrilled to hear your good news. That's what I looked for first when I came onto the website. The $25 == how funny is that in the scheme of things?

Celebrate.

[When will the worry end? (Whining)]

Andrea--

I am also a worrier like you and married to a "non-worrier". It amazes me how my husband can sleep anywhere anytime no matter what is going on. Sleep eludes me because I always have something on my mind. right now it's 4:35 AM and I've been up for an hour (typical). I have a cancer dog who is not doing well and my dad is having problems too. If it wasn't that, it would be something else.

Anyhow, glad your latest "problem" was minor. I'd love to say, "put your worries aside" but I know that's not easy for worriers to do. But try to put them away for awhile and get on with that "embryo transfer" --

Take care.

[How to use the Search??? Re: Gemzar]

I have never been very successful at using the Search feature of this message board. My father is considering starting treatment with Gemzar. I'm sure people have posted their experiences with this chemo before and wanted to find them. When I type in Gemzar, I get a lot of recent hits -- but what comes up most is long strings of messages and it's really like looking for a "needle in a haystack" if I have to look through all the strings for Gemzar. Am I doing something wrong.

Thanks.

[scans say "stable" but breathing problems???]

My father continues to have CT scans at 3 month intervals. He is fortunate that the scans have come up "stable" for quite awhile now but he still finds himself frequently "short of breath." He takes lung function test at the pulmonologist and they come up okay too. However, my Dad is winded from just walking around the block to the mailbox, let alone going to stores. He is 82 and has fought this beast for 5 1/2 years now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
