Paulette, in North Carolina. Diagnosed 1B in April 2009. Almost 5 years and still NED.

I had my semi-annual CT scan today. I'm still NED! I'm a happy girl!! Paulette

1. When you run away in the middle of a perfectly good leg humping. 2. Blaming your farts on me...not funny...not funny at all. 3. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!! 4. How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat butt?) 5. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway? 6. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it. 7. Yelling at me for rubbing my *ss on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet? 8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet...idiot. 9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous. 10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur? Imbecile. 11. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your shi_ up when you're not home. 12. When you pick up the crap piles in the yard. Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me? 13. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out everytime we go back. 14. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain, you nitwit. 15. Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with us? To my knowledge, dogdom hasn't yet solved the visible fence problem!!

It's finally Friday and I've been busy as a bee. We have company coming in from New York tomorrow to stay for a week and more coming Wednesday for a couple of days. We will have both my husband's sisters and their husbands here at our house at the same time for the first time since we've been married (30 yrs). On Sunday we're having a cookout - 25 - 30 people will be here. Oh my! I may be looking for a quiet place to hide. lol I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Paulette

Try saying "unique New York" 3 times .......... Paulette

Donna, I'm so sorry this has happened to you and your husband but thank goodness it was found early. Hopefully he'll have the same survivor success you've had. My prayers are with y'all. Paulette

Judy, I was always one who tried to NOT take stuff for pain but my doctor convinced me that patients get better faster if they take the pain medication and to not wait too long to take it. He said if the pain is a 2 it's easier to make it go away than if you wait until the pain is an 8. So take your medication! Paulette

It's getting kinda stuffy in here so I thought I'd try to open the windows and let some air inside. I took a break from here because when we lose someone it hurts so much - however - whether I'm posting here or not - it still hurts just as much. It's sunny here in North Carolina this morning. We opened the pool about 2 weeks ago but so far no one has ventured into the water. I expect that to change soon. My husband's sister and her husband are coming for a visit on June 2nd. They live on Long Island NY. We're having a big cookout while they are here. Should be about 25 people so I'm sure some of them will go swimming, especially the younger ones. I hope everyone is having a good day and please add to the air. (this is why I don't open - can't think of anything to say) Paulette

Bubba and Billy were driving down the road while drinking beer when they spotted a roadblock ahead. "We're gonna get busted," whimpered Billy. "Don't worry," said Bubba. "We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these beers, then peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads and then toss the bottles under the seat. Just let me do the talking." They downed the beer, threw the empties out of sight and put the labels on their foreheads. When they reached the roadblock, the police officer asked, "You boys been drinking?" "No, sir," said Bubba, pointing at the labels. "Me and Billy are on the patch."

I'm taking a break from the boards but I did want to let y'all know that I had my CT scan today and once again I'm NED. Paulette

Congratulations!! I'm really happy for you. Paulette

Diane, Some insurances pay for the shot and some don't - mine does so I did get it last year. From what I understand the vaccine won't prevent you from getting shingles but if you do - then it will be a lot milder case. Paulette

How true this is. I haven't lost a spouse but have lost a sibling and both parents and I grieve for the life we hadn't yet lived. My daddy died when my daughter was 10 months old - she will be 26 next month. He missed her whole life and SHE missed knowing her grand daddy. My mother died 12 years ago. How many conversations could we have had in 12 years? I miss them both so much. Paulette

We have a total electric house and if you average our bills for the past 12 months it is $150 a month but our house is only 1700 sf. When we lived in New Jersey in a 3000 + sf house our bills were way higher. One reason we moved south and to a smaller house when we retired. As for eggs - scrambled well done and then cook a little longer - lol. Paulette
