[Paul Newman Has Passed Away]

The radio played "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from Butch Cassisy -- what a nice song in his honor.

[A new club]

Ned-

Is that WD 40 on the shelf behind you? I'd say you are definitely prepared to be in the club.

[Introducing myself]

Tammy-

This is a scary time for both of you. I remember it well. It would help us if you would let us know the chemo and more details-- then we could give you some suggestions. Others here have posted that the sour lemon candies help with the metallic taste. Make sure he drinks lots of water and fluids so he doesn't get dehydrated. Water helps with the aches and pains of some chemos. Don and the others have given you some great advice-- keep us posted.

Rochelle

[My Dad-]

I am so sorry for your loss. I love his picture-- he looks like a very sweet man.

Rochelle

[ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY]

Congratulations on your one year. I am glad you wandered on to our site and joined up-- you've been a great help to many members.

[Taking a much needed vacation!]

Sounds like fun! Have a wonderful relaxing time. I am glad your mom is doing better so you can get some time for you.

[Going on a Cruise!!]

Wow-- good for you! Have fun and take the life vest pass.

[2008 Kay Barmore Award]

Congratulations Katie- What an honor.

[Introducing Myself]

April-

I am sorry about your mom. Chemo is hard and it takes the good cells along with the bad. Just try to keep her hydrated and nourished while she is feeling so ill. When my husband was sick we also spent a lot of time just watching movies and TV together. It is ok to just "be" and let her know you are there for her. Keep us posted on how it all goes-- we've all been there and we can help.

Rochelle

[Prayers for my baby.....(9/23 update)]

Andrea-

All of us moms get it. I hope all is well soon...sending you and the Jakester positive thoughts and good wishes for matching balls. Take deep breaths and if that fails go for the medicine cabinet.

Rochelle

[Treatment plan update]

Sandra-

A break sounds like just what you need. I hope Tarceva works well for you. It can be a miracle drug and so much easier than going in for infusions. Enjoy the break, rest and regroup.

Rochelle

[Just wanted to say Hi! and introduce myself]

[Work question and a little venting]

Sarah-

Go and apply for unemployment right away-- you will qualify and it will help you until something else comes along. I am so sorry you were fired. I hate to see people get away with that crap.

Rochelle

[Work question and a little venting]

Sarah-

I am also at at will employer in Michigan. It doesn't mean I can let people go due to race, sex, age disability etc.-- that is against the law and I can be sued for wrongful termination or have an EEOC claim. Keep documenting.
