Good luck Nams, I'd rather buy for a girl...can get a dress and accessories cheaper and with more selection than boys clothes...do they even make anything besides black, navy blue and khaki pants for boys? My son has basically had a uniform to wear for dress events they include the mentioned colored pants, a long sleeve white button down and matching belt, shoe, tie to coordinate with pant... all of which were purchased at different department stores b/c they never can manage to have all of what you need in one store anymore.

My girls are easy since there is a huge selection for their ages. My DS is a slim and it is killer to find decent pants that fit the slim child:(

If you have any advice in this area let me have it!

...and sexless...uhmmm... what's next...after the knuckles?

Mom picked them? ....you are in the 'red' already!

Todd,

Are you planning to send your WW a PLAN B letter?

Pio,

Where can I look up pictures of your little 'family' that Larousse refers to?

...your current link has your 'phone' stats only!

So...at DDs games, if you are running around in the field, too, are you the coach AND the referee at the same time?

Hey there 2much! I always start in the clearance section then work my way up. You're right about the choices for boys, blue, black or khaki, that's it. Today I was lucky enough to find everything either on deep sale or clearance & in one store, J.C. Penney. Woo Hoo!

This child is easy compared to my oldest, but now that he prefers black he's gotten easier. They fit AND he will wear them. Since ex left most of his clothes behind when he moved on to his new life I found a tie that actually matches. I must be living right.

Oldest has not cut the grass & is asking me for something. This is when things get interesting...sort of.

How are you doing, 2much?

Haven't seen a MB brand but the original is pretty cheap these days. Not that I know what it is or what it is for, but I do know it is cheap.


Yes.


I will get my second followup post treatment MRI in a week or two. The first one showed no change so lots of hope and positive expectations riding on this one. And yes, I have never considered anything other than it will be gone. Maybe not the next scan, but not long after.


Nams, I do seem to recall that you wrote with the name of her tumor but I don't recall. Memory not so good these days. Makes everyday a fresh day. Well, not completely fresh but it's okay.


Yeah, the waiting is the hardest. There are many approaches to radiation therapy and I am not familiar with all of them. I received some high, single dose shots which were debilitating. Then, I underwent fractionated, or hyperfractionated treatment which are 2-3 small doses per day for five weeks. I don't recommend it as a form of recreation. Today's radiation machines are so much more precise than in the past but still, the best one is only 98% precise. Guess where the stray 2% goes? Explains my mental deficits. Well, part of them anyway. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My tumor is in my brainstem area which is not the best place to grow one. If only I had known....


I have had some gait problems and some twitching and shaking on my left side. Yesterday, my left hand and forearm starting shaking and it wouldn't stop. I called my doc and he said it was not a seizure but another side effect. I thought it was another seizure initially but it wasn't. Apparently, the radiation causes the brain to swell and hence creates pressure which is no good. I have fallen a couple of times but fortunately, no serious injuries. Memory is shot at some intervals I cannot triangulate. I have had some headaches, a couple severe. But all in all, it could have been much worse. Oh yeah, some hair falling out, but mostly where the beams entered my scalp. It can still happen weeks or months down the road so I keep my fingers crossed.


Nams, I don't mind discussing at all. It is not something I bring up a lot, at least not the details, but it is because I don't want to complain about it. That's all. I am very fortunate in the sense that my WW's A took my eye off my health for a long time.

Toes. If you can reach them, then elbows. I'll let you know after that.

Hello 2much,

Welcome back. We missed you.

Luna,

I don't know yet. Probably. I need to do some PR work with DS3 first. He is a tough cookie so I need to be exceptionally clear and clever with him which will not be easy.

You know how to look on the positive side Todd, calling your WW's affair a diversion. Humor too, good for you.

Sandi had just one radiation treatment. I'm guessing it was a massive dose.

If I'm not being too intrusive how did you discover you had a brain tumor?

Sandi discovered it because she started getting violent around her periods. She'd always had big hormone swings but she started throwing dishes at her BF. Not her usual mode of registering displeasure.

When she was informed that she had a brain tumor they told her, oh BTW it's inoperable, do you have someone who can bring you home? I hope your Dr. was more sensitive with you.

Son has cut half the yard! He wants a medal but I'm going to wait until he finishes the second half in a month or so. That's not as bad as it sounds, this way he also chops up leaves & there is less raking to do.

Now he want the track. be back later after some studio time. The boys are with their father tonight.

Buenas tardes,

No plumber today, he comes next Monday to change the bathroom faucet and valves.

Nam, about the front question... did I tell you plumber has two gold up front tooths? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Luna

You sound very grounded, congrats. I know it's not easy but you are right, it's not worth your self respect and most probably it won't satisfy you, the casual sex I mean. To see Pios family pics, eraese everything after the .com from his link to the phone stats, click go and you'll go to his main site. Warning, DD's are very cute.

Stph20

Great frame of mind.

2Much

Hola

Todd

Hola

I'll look for your answer later Todd if decide you want to answer my question that is.

Sandi gets contacted A LOT by people who have experienced brain tumors either themselves or through a loved one. They seem drawn to her in part I think because she survived after being told she wouldn't & because she found a way in the midst of the horror a brain tumor brings to appreciate her life more than ever.

Hi larousse! I will not be sitting on top of any students tonight, they are safe.

Phew Nam, I was really worried. Have a great class, do something pretty. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Look at the URL written in the browser address window. Back up to the main page (i.e. delete the part after ".com").

Not a real internet whiz I see... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

"Memory not so good these days. Makes everyday a fresh day. Well, not completely fresh but it's okay." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> [color:"green"] [/color] Todd check your e-mail.

I am a long time lurker, I have read this thread with great interest,amusement and sadness at times. I hope you don't mind me adding my 2 cents worth. I feel that I know each and every one of you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Every time I think about WW coming home, the same thing happens to me. It may not be the tumor/treatment. Not that that helps any.
