"Parent on Board"

Well,,, I try not to be a dark cloud, and tend not to really put anything serious out here, but I have come up with lung cancer, which brings a whole new set of problems as a single parent. Right now the chemo is making life a little hard and messing with my thoughts and stuff like being tired all the time. The crazy part is my sister came down with colon cancer at the same time, we have been scratching our heads on the timing here. Half the time my kid thinks I have given up and am just going to die. I try to explain that would take all the fun out of laufing in the doctors face when he gave me so long. So the fights on with this stuff. If its any consolation you can call me baldy pretty soon Razzer.




Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones...

Holy Sh*t, Paul......well, ****, take it a day at a time, I guess. Hopefully you knock it into remission and keep it there for a good long time. And who knows, they may find a cure in the next few years. You never know...

Laurie, I thought that was a great response. I was feeling sorry for the guy as yall were tearing him apart based on his picture, but then when you posted your response, it's all good. You're a classy broad

The one thing I never had was fear when they told me. I have people who will step up if need be, for my one girl left, but I plan on being around a good long time. Its just a good excuse for the vacation I have been putting off my whole life. Wink

I wouldn't call most gals a broad to their face, but you being the cool jersey chick you are, I didn't think you'd mind

Paul -- that's awful. Did you tell the doc you don't have time to have cancer right now because you're a single parent! Mad

I think you deserve to test out the awsome house you were building in Tahoe(?) you posted a while ago. That has to be some therapy!

Laurie, I think your email is to the point and excellent. If he is the one for you.... he'll prove to be the man of you're dreams eventhough you seem to think he's kinda girly Wink

And you can tell me the easyer way to spill the beans, lol. I have certainly been trying to come up with one. I found no easy way, so I figured best to get it out of the way fast. I had plenty of time to think on it as I was in the hospital logging on here on a lap top, bad thing to be thankful for pnemonia, had it not been there they never would have looked. No worries, this is just another thing in life to fight. Maybe something to make a person look at life a little differn't, and charish what I have. Wink Smiler

Lurch, I have to admire your spirit and attitude, doubt that in a similar spot I could be so strong. Hopefully our thoughts and prayers will help in some way to keep that strength up.

Ray - I can't believe you hate my cell phone.
LD - automated. boring. standard. no sexy voice to make the imagination work. ew ew ew...
Ray - Another obstacle.
LD -what were the other obstacles?

Ray - And to think...once you were jsut the hot chick in the orange bikini.
LD - today it was the hot chick in the purple bikini!
**BEHAVE YOURSELF HB - bikinis were before Faith**
Ray - So many hurdles...
LD - did i miss a hurdle or two? i have no knowledge of prior hurdle issues...

Ray - Call you later...
LD - only here til 5pm - start dialing hurdle boy <grin>

and no, no, no, not a single freaking light or bell or what ever the f- went off.

now, the guy heard me mention Faith and did not back off. he joked that 2010 is already here. he is still trying. shitttttttt. now what?

Meet him for coffea in a very public place? Maybe somewhere in camden? (j/k). Red dress and high heels. If he shows up with product in his hair, he's done. If he shows up with a sledgehammer, he's in. Actually no, run as fast as you can. On second thought, wear sneakers with that red dress.
