Hey Cindy I'm here in the back of the bus waiting for Eric and his cases of Amber Nectar . After watching Kaite's silly willy video please do not let her drive , I'll take my chances on the dog !!!

OK but please get Randy to make the pastries BEFORE he has Cindy's mararita's ..........

Until the bus goes under an overpass. LOL

Now that is more like it Ms Texas. I think you provided pictures of our old bus as well so thanks for helping Cindy out. You know I think I even recognize a few members on your bus !!! Eric provided alot of the entertainment and I am sure that he is in the plaid shirt. I know that you are there as well Katie....now if only you were standing on the seat so that we could see you. LOL sorry, payback for the smelly feet remark. Now who is jumping on the bus first and where are we headed? I think it should be Cindy. The first person buy's the beverages and since she has saved money from using that fancy limo, she can afford it. All aboard everyone's is welcome.

Thanks Diane. Been a long day the chuckle was nice.

OK hang on Cindy !!!! We have had a Lungevity party bus for years. But as I recall it was a beat up old yellow bus not the pimped out Hollywood bus you have pictured. I would have to take my shoes off in this bus but in the old yellow bus everyone was dancing, sometimes the driver ( Muriel ) would put us in the ditch, and alot of wobbly pop's being passed around. So Cindy I think you should trade in this ride for the old bus and a few tanks of gas to pick everyone up . LOL

Hi Debra Let me the first to welcome you to a great site. Alot of members here have been on the same rollercoaster you feel that you are on now. I joined here in 2007 and "talking" with others that had walked in my shoes helped me more than I can say. I had lots of questions and the members here answered them from their own experience. Like you I was stage 1b and had surgery. That was in 2007 and still all clear !!! I had my upper left lobe removed and followed that with 4 rounds of adjuvant chemo. So tell us more about you Debra. Did you have chemo ?

Hey Cindy and Diane You are correct....no sympathy from me on the temperatures you have. Those are Speedo temperatures here. LOL Vancouver very rarely has snow either but last week they had snow for 3 days.

Well Cindy I will gladly take your +19. This morning it is -29F with a -44F windchill here. So just a little chilly !

Diagnosed as 1B ib 2007. Had surgery and chemo. Still NED

Great news Mike on the NED !!!!! It is 48 here today and our normal would be around -22. Just weird weather this winter. Mike we had a really bad windstorm here Tuesday night. Winds were clocked at 72mph. Alot of tree's down and power was gone for 30 hours. I have big windows in my living room and I thought they were going to break or loose the roof. You could actually feel the house shaking and things were rattling on the walls.

Hi Deb Welcome to this great site. I do not have experience with Tarceva. My combination was Cisplatin/Vinerolbine. As for the horse....sure if I lived closer. I have 2 now but lots of room for more.

-49C here Cindy.....and that is COLD in Metric or Imperial !!!!!

Morning folks Another cold morning here. Clear skies, -34 with a -39 windchill. I heard on the news that part of the U.S. is getting record breaking cold as well. I think when Cindy began fanning the air it really messed things up !!!! I just looked at this forum. No replies in the last 4 post, only 1 reply in each of the 3 post prior to that, but lots of people reading. In all my time here as a member I don't think that I have seen the Just For Fun forum this quiet.

Morning everyone Well winter has arrived on the farm. This morning it is -34C ( -29F ) so a little chilly. But it will definitely get colder. That is only fall weather here. LOL Southern Alberta has had blizzards for the last few days but we were fortunate and it missed us. We still only have 6" of snow on the ground. I was sorry to read that Diane is having a little trouble and is in hospital. I'm sure she will be back here soon. Katie sorry to read that you had to have surgery as well. Hopefully it is not too painful and get better soon. Ms. Texas I read that you are using voice activation but it is slow typing on your Ipad. I've talked to you and have heard that strong Texas accent. I think it is slow typing because first the voice activation has to do a translation into English !!!!! It probably wasn't programmed to recognize " ya'll ". LOL

Morning everyone Hopefully everyone is still enjoying their holiday. I imagine anyone that traveled anywhere probably took Friday off as well and made it a long weekend. We had snow here on Thursday. When I got home Thursday night I took the snowblower out and spent 3 hours doing the drive and a few paths. I shut off the snowblower and turned to go back to the house and it started snowing again !!! Well that is going to stay there for a few days now. Nice to see you join in Lilly. Maybe some of the members that are just reading can get a little exercise after that big dinner by typing a few words and tell us about your holiday. We would love to read about it. Take care.

Morning everyone Hope you are enjoying the holiday and the great dinner that goes with it. Members on this site certainly know the meaning of Thanksgiving so please also remember those members that were not fortunate enough to be here today. Take care.

Hi Anya I am so sorry that you have a reason to be here. But you will find members here have a wealth of information and are very supportive. Some Oncologist will give you a timeframe and other's will not. Personally I would not believe it anyway. I was given a timeframe for both my Mother and my Brother. Neither were even close. You will read stories on here of members given a few months but are here years later. No one has an expiry date stamped on the bottom of their foot for the Oncologist to read. Oncologist giving timeframes are just going by statistics. Those stats can include people of all ages, different illnesses, etc. Also people react differently to treatment. I would say just enjoy the time you have whether it is months or years. Please come back and let us help support you on this journey. Take care.

Hey there I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday. If you are traveling, be safe. When you get where you are going, enjoy the time with your family and friends. Take care.

Hey everyone Wow Cindy do you ever have a busy week !!!! If I had that many Thanksgiving dinners I would be sleeping for a week. Diane I think your dinner dates are bringing you in a close second behind Cindy. We celebrated Thanksgiving a month ago so my Turkey dinner is worn off. But hearing everyone talk about their plans this week, the Christmas bird in the freezer may be making an appeareance a little early !!! Mike I think we would all like to have the entire family together for those holidays. Unfortunately most families in the real world are not like the Waltons. All you can do is spread yourself around to spend time with different family members. My plans were to spend Christmas with my daughter but her boyfriend got transferred to another province and she leaves on December 22. Then a week after that news my son got a new job 500 miles away and he is working during Christmas. So much for plans hey.

Morning everyone. How was everyone's weekend ? Was really nice on the farm. The temperature yesterday was right at the freezing point. ( I think those Texas ladies finally decided to share ! ) Just nice for doing chores outside. Even the little pony was out running around. Last night I took the dogs for a walk and the sky was just full of stars. Great night to just walk and enjoy everything. Diane you have got your weekend planned out ! Nothing wrong with just sitting back enjoying it and let the young un's do the work. LOL Mike I had my surgery in September and had chemo over the winter. I found the cold air was really bad then. Of course I also lived in Yellowknife which is far north. There you have to go south to visit Santa ! It is common for temperatures not to rise above -40 for 3 weeks straight in the winter. And yes -40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Wood stoves now are very air tight so you get very little smoke in the house. It doesn't bother me at all. In the fall here farmers burn brush from clearing land and that bother's me. Same as forest fires in the summer. But I enjoy sitting around the firepit and enjoy a wobbly pop ! The smoke doesn't seem to affect me at all. LOL

Morning Folks Thanks for joining in Donna. I think we should all point a finger at Cindy for this cold weather. Everything was OK before she started fanning. LOL Just teasing ya Cindy. Donna that is why I have 2 woodstoves in my house on the farm. Living in a rural area, if the power goes it can be out for days. Having 80 acres of tree's on my land also makes it convenient. Good thing the sevice company didn't take too long. It is a balmy -17C here this morning. This weekend is supposed to get nice and temperatures are getting close to the freezing mark tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi Amy Thanks for dropping in again. Alot of us have went through what you are feeling now. The fear of reoccurance is always there but it gets easier with time. For me it has been 6 years now and it is there in the back of your mind but not your main focus like it was in the beginning. I understand how watching your Uncle go through things can add to that fear. I lost my Uncle, Mother, and Brother to lung cancer. So you can imagine what was going through my mind when I was told that I had lung cancer ! After talking to others, asking questions, doing research, etc. I found that you are an indiviual and everyone is different and responds differently to treatment. You are fortunate that it was caught early. That is why I would tell someone not to compare yourself to someone else or to read statistics. As you progress on this journey, you will find there is hope and your confidence will grow. The emotional challenge is just as hard if not worse than the physical challenge especially in the beginning. We have been there and whether it was therapy, medication, etc. they are all for assistance in helping on this journey. Take care.

Morning folks I think it is getting colder !! It was -37 this morning. Really did not want to go outside. But I'm afraid it will get colder than that. A couple weeks ago I was complaining about -10 ! Diane I think Cindy is doing it. She was going to fan that warm air our way but I think she kept it for herself. So Diane you are well aware of the difference in seafood depending on the water temperature. I was reading an article last night of a shark being found on a beach in Newfoundland. It had a piece of moose hide still in it's mouth. A couple fisherman pulled it out and pushed the shark back in the ocean. You do not get too many sharks there but lots of whales. Really nice when they surface close to you. A little scary when they swim right under your boat. Curious creatures.

Morning folks First of all I would like to clarify something. I think there is a language barrier because I am Newfie. Cindy I said I wanted warm air. It is 2 degree's colder than yesterday !!!! A balmy -36C ( -33F ) not including the wind chill.LOL Did I read right that Katie said I was her favorite Canadian ???? She must be in the Christmas spirit because usually she is just giving me heck. My new pony doesn't like this weather too much. His bouncing around when it was warmer is now down to a slow walk around the pasture. He has a nice winter coat on so I am sure he is just conserving energy.
