Chemo begins today

by outnfree in

so, i've been sitting at the computer all night long, not really panicked, but definitely disturbed at the thought of what the months to come will entail.. the port-a-cath was "installed" (surgically) on monday, and that was tough.

somehow the lumpectomy last month and even finding out that there was lymph node involvement was okay.

scary, but okay.

hoping you come back from chemo to see all these wonderful comments for you.

I agree, the bad days will be 2 - 3 days afterwards. A good mental attitude is worth a lot. You are such a strong lady. Keep the rainbow in front of you.

I couldn't help but think when you said: "So why do I feel so utterly alone depsite the love and prayers and actions of so many?" that you are facing what every human has to face......our own eventuality............it comes down to being at peace with oneself.

Know you are loved.

ps. love your new avitar pic. Sedona........beautiful.

Need Advice

by love2Bworldly in

i need some feedback on a delicate matter.

my non-jw father is going to be 87 years old in a few months.

in the event of him passing away, i'm worried my jw sister will take over the funeral arrangements with a jw talk and all that.

Joyzabel

yes, get the information in writing ahead of time so that there is no ~~JW witnessing~~ altering what your dad's wishes are.

What a good child you are to watch out for your parent's needs.

saturday seems to be much preferred over sunday, so this years bbq will be held on saturday, july 9th, commencing around 2 pm.

location is our home in weston super mare.

as usual, the day will be very boozy and proceedings will conclude in the waverley pub.

Joyzabel

Hey Celia, looking forward to seeing you, too.

It wasn't hard to go to the bus station at Heathrow and get a ticket to Bristol. You may want to get one all the way into Westin Supre-Mare.

Salem and I are still planning on going. See ya there.

Joy

pssst, Mike, can you tell the lady next door to reserve a room for Salem and I for friday and saturday night? Thanks

Apostafest T Shirt Slogans.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

the first time that i met simon, he was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "apostate".

it was all spelt out in evil-type letters, in fact it looked suitably demonic.. when i encountered him at another 'fest, his t-shirt slogan simply read: "no!

i will not fix your computer!"..

Joyzabel

I think another poster said this already, but I thought it was cute. (I think it was Richie Rich)

Disempowerment of women WTBS use of that woman Jezebel analogy

by cyborg in

jw
friends

just wondering if anyone has had similar experience.

i could swallow the fact that only men were given main parts at the meeting (i wouldnt want them anyway) but that im humiliated every time i tried to give opinion or make a suggestion, is just beyond me.

in fact if i was even mildly persistent to make them see my point of view id be presented with that woman jezebel analogy.

Joyzabel

Just wondering if any of you have had or is having the similar experience.

and thus my screen name............................................bwhahahahahaha
