Happy August birthday to you! Yes, celebrate the entire month.

Hi everyone.   I just went in for my 3 yr checkup and still in remission - time flies!   I wanted to thank all the folks on this board for the information and encouragement during my treatment - you were all great!

All the best to those in treatment now - my prayers are with you all!

Pam, I thought it looked simple to make ricotta, I'm going to try it! Just to say I've made cheese lol

graciesmom, I can't believe they haven't called with test results, I'm sure there's nothing wrong, but still they should let you know! Happy birthday early. I have one in October. Are you going to go ahead and start drawing social security at 62? I did. I figured why wait. 

Maestra, it's going be 100 for the next ten days, no relief in sight. Ugh I hate this heat.

Happy Birthday month to you too, maestra!! When is your special day? Mine is the 21st---I'm a Leo!!

Goldie---Yes, I intend to start collecting my social security when I turn 62---so will my hubby, who will turn 62 next May. Our lives will be much easier, financially, once we have more money coming in--it's almost impossible to live solely on his pension (we still have a large mortgage, car payment, etc). I collect a tiny pension from the Archdiocese (I worked in a Catholic hospital for 14 years)--I'm glad I elected to start collecting it at age 55--it's small, but it does pay for one week of groceries each month. I have to be realistic--we need the money social security provides NOW--and who knows what the future may bring (mostly for me)--never did I dream I'd be diagnosed with cancer at age 55. I feel the way you do--no reason to wait.

Nope, still no results from hubby's stress test. He still refuses to call his doctor. Since I see our doctor next week, if we don't hear anyting by then, we will BOTH have to ask the doctor about the results at that point. I'm not happy that no one bothered to tell us what's going on (and I will tell the doctor so).

It's hot here too......

Holy cow!!!!  My birthday is the 23rd.  @Bird mama copied me, but I had that date first.  Half Leo, half Virgo.  

I couldn't handle that heat Goldie.  It was 90 here today with high humidity.  That was plenty hot for me.  I didn't let it stop my routine.  I mowed the lawn when I got home from work and picked up apples.  

I have a crazy crab apple tree.  The landscaper planted the wrong tree.  It was supposed to be a three foot pink floral tree.  Instead it's a twelve foot white floral tree with apples.  The first ten years, no apples.  The last two years, apples.  If I could pull it out like a weed, I would.

@GCR18 and I are 'birthday twins', lol.

ukseahawk, long time no see! Sooo happy to hear you're still in remission. That's one word we love around here. But I'm really glad that this board helped you when you were going through treatment.  This a great group of ladies. 

BTW  I haven't seen a post from Bow or Lannie in awhile, did I just overlook them ? Or are they MIA?

Happy birthday month to the August babies. Cyber drink. Goldie, bow may be in the middle of moving. And Lannie just found her freedom so she's probably out partying everyday.  I remember after I retired I just sighed everyday with happiness.

Hi Everyone,

I'm still here, have had very sad circumstances to deal with.  My granddaughter died unexpectedly, she was in her mid 20's.  We were very close and I have lots of good memories of things we did together.  It grieves me even more to see my daughter in such pain that no words can even begin to comfort right now.  Our lives will never be the same without her.  There is so much more to tell, but not on a public board - I wish you all could have known her, she was an out going person who loved people and always had a beautiful smile on her face.  At this point in her life, she had "come into her own", had goals and knew where she was going in life.

I did not want to take away from what our dear Goldie was going through and thought it best to just wait with this tragic news to explain why I wasn't here.  This takes a large emotional toll and I have also been over at my daughter's a lot, just to be with her.

I am so glad for Goldie - GCR and Pam have done a wonderful job of keeping me informed, even though they expected no answers back from me - I appreciated that so much.

Love to all,

Lannie
