well i had the surgery 3 weeks ago and it looks very good.
the doctor said the cancer hasn't spread any further (thank god!
) but they still want me to have radiation.
(((((((((((((((Mary))))))))))))))))
Welcome back. I've been wondering about you. So glad things are looking good for you. Not hearing from you for so long had me a little worried. Lots of people here were praying for you. Yes it takes about five weeks to really start to feel much better and get your energy back. Take it easy & take your pillow everywhere. Should be past the pillow though.
care bears!!
the return of care bears!!
(i have also heard strawberry shortcake is making a comeback--tho i have seen no visible proof for myself.
Joanna,
That's not nostalgia, now when you get to Tiny Thumbalina, Baby Chatty Cathy, Betsy Wetsy and Barbies when you just bought new clothes and not new dolls to get new clothes, then we'll talk nostalgia!!!
sorry to be another october babe but it is my b-day and i would really treasure some of those warm wishes.....oh how pathetic am i?
lol
You're shamless but...........................
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you anyway. Have a great one.
i love to christmas shop, but i have to admit it i am one who kind of leaves things to the last month.
but i feel the adrenalin rush more and it gets me in the spirit of things faster.
but i love to decorate early.
My shopping is DONE!
{except for my special secret santa someone, on this board}
about once a month i have a problem with my eyes, or probably the nerves controlling my eyesight.
i see something like an oval mark that is drawn up and down in a half circle.
it sometimes keeps me from seeing properly, depending where it is.
Undecided,
I get migrains occasionaly. They begin with what you describe. I can't see straight ahead and I have what I call a light worm in my line of vision. It is there with my eyes open or closed. If I take a couple asprins at the first sign of vision problems I can stop the headache to just a sting. After the light worm the flashing lights start. They are crisp and clear at first then spread out, dim and fade. This all takes about a half an hour. After the flashing lights fade out the headache starts. I have heard of people having migrains without pain. They are caused by blood vessels in the brain contracting and exspanding. The visual disturbance is in the brain, not the eyes, that's why it is there when your eyes are closed. They are a strange creature. Thankfully I don't get them too often. Even if I can stop one, my head is swimmy for a couple days.
Do go see your eye doctor though and have your eyes checked making sure to let him know about the problem. Detached retinas are usually very sudden, not gradual, usually described as shooting stars in the vision. Vision can sometimes be saved if given immediate attention.
Floaters can obstruct vision. They are harmless but annoying. Usually if one gets into your field of vision if you look hard to either side it will move out of the way.
i think it is time to stop cheerleading for the christmas gift x-change......we have quite a few names and i am really excited!
i am crossing off names as they post to this thread...... .

I'm off to go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have received inquiries about how i was trained by spirit as a psychologist.
i was led to many sources of enlightenment.
books routinely was i led to that it was important i read.

if we were to go back to the borg, would we see any marked difference in the attitudes/environment in the organization?
would it appear more liberal or more strict than it was 20 or more years ago?
or would it appear that not much has changed?.
I've been out for 27 years. From what I read here I think it is worse then when I was there. But alot must have to do with the congregation. I went to many growing up, they all were pretty crappy. It sounds like they are trying to gain more control but maybe since I was 19 when I left the control hadn't really started yet. I know they pushed me to get baptized, pushed me to be in a talk on Thursday night. I was petrified of public speaking. Things were pretty tuff around 1975. Okay, I give up, maybe they are, may they are'nt. I'm so confused.
i have been searching for a job since march, and finally got one waiting tables at a pool hall.
they fired me today due to "pushing" someone that i asked to excuse me.
then i was told that my "attitude" was a reason.
(((((((((((((Jesika)))))))))))))))
I am so sorry. I know how excited you were about the job. It doesn't help much, but if you didn't fit into the "click" then it would have been a short time till you didn't want to work there. It's so hurtful to get "FIRED" brings up all kinds of rejection feelings. Then when you didn't do what they say you did................the injustice. Keep trying. The last one broke the ice and got you started. Good Luck!

i am wondering if anyone has heard how mary is doing.. any contacts?
Thanks JC, I knew if anybody knew you would. Hows your appendix? or should I say lack of?
