I miss that a lot, I go when I can to my grandson's games. He is playing basketball and baseball only this year, he gave up football much to my dismay. He is 13 now.:)Quote:

Have fun Mom... let him HEAR you today!
I do remember you were the Coach... I don't forget too much;)
He and OTHERS will hear me today. LOL

I love it and I bet you are hon... but I thought that this may save your voice... we would miss you here ifin you couldn't "talk."
Wow, I'm sure glad that my computer has stabilized itself. Since it is a laptop, I unplugged it, turned it upside-down and spanked it. It works fine now..
It may be a coincidence, but my symptoms sound a bit like your's, Stringy - maybe it's a PC-flu or your PC is just having sympathy pains with mine. This just happened today though, after getting one of those famous Windows Updates that sneak in automatically - I put a stop to them and will call them up and install them when I'M ready to from now on. I can't believe that my Mozilla Firefox froze for no reason and then Yahoo acted dumb for a while. Maybe it's something in the net - lot's of crazies out there so I raised my firewall higher and told my antivirus program to do a check twice a day now. Not much more we can do - even if we call in those 'nerds' I don't think they can do more at this point.
You have pages move, and I have fonts that change.. something is really happening on the net - I bet it's a new hacker that is being very creative and until the IT security companies find and identify the issue, there will be a few more people who suffer... so do a FULL BACKUP of all you've got, no matter what happens. Starty.. I have a DVD in mine that backs up my graphics daily from now on, but a FULL BACKUP is the best idea - it's worth the CDs or DVDs we have to get, if we don't want to lose stuff. I have an external hard-drive too, but it's full, so back to DVDs.
And look at you, since then, you guys were really busy responding. Did you miss me?
My MOSTEST, it has not gotten here yet, but I'll give you a yell as soon as it's here - you know that I would not be able to keep that to myself. The year before they diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, I actually got to play soccer - was the goalie - but that was decades ago. After that, it was painful bowling but I wouldn't quit, and then that wonderful sports each mother gets to play with her newborn until it leaves the house.. oh yeah, it's called Motherhood.
I actually have a speech to text program in case I cannot type anymore, but thank goodness I don't need to use it yet. Also, my new pen allows me to scribble and it types for me - cool program, called Scribe. So, I'm all set in an emergency. I promise, you'll hear me, even if I just send brain waves across that big lake.
Hey there Starty, darling.. I'm staying out of politics for a while, just drop in on Magatory's thread because I just love the way he 'says it', but the others would just take too much out of me. Enjoy those Jetts dear. My cable TV is actually going to show some baseball games - and in English - I guess it's countdown for the finals. My dad used to love football and baseball and he explained a lot about them to me when my mom was not around. She'd get upset when we shared common interests. Too bad.
Well, I'm going to do a full backup now and hope that we don't get disconnected any time soon - it would take away my left arm and more - my AMHD family.. don't want that to happen. Stringer dear, call in your IT security people and make them aware of an issue - although they should already be informed.
Lost of love and hugs until then..

Momma C, I was bad, really bad, I let my German temper get the better of me. Sometimes I wish I was a super mod, then I could get rid of some of the brats that come here. :(
I apologize in advance, I hope you can forgive me. :(

By the way... I will record the Steelers game for later... ssssssshhhhhh... K?;):rolleyes::)
I took the pictures of my outside displays of Halloween:eek:, the ones I took before it got dark came out OK but as it started to get dark they aren't as clear. I also took some of my office (where I "talk" to you guys!! And some of the exterior and interior of the house, I thought you could get an better idea of me, Marta and our home... I will email them to you so you can post whichever you choose for me. Of course if you do not mind or if you are too busy, I would understand my dear.:)

Greenie... SEND her a whole BUNCH of postcards my friend, show her the whole area of Toronto and the burbs... K?
Stringer
Good Morning Momma C! Puter is back and working! Yeayyyyy! I hope it stays this way! How are you feeling sweets? I so enjoyed our conversation the other night! :D
Hi my sweeties!
WOW, Stringer, those pictures are sure nice. I will post a few at a time here so that we all can enjoy them. I bet the place looks super at Christmas time too.
Starby, I too loved our conversation and hope it was not the last. My 'puter' lost it's spell-checker again and I just can't understand why.. maybe our computer gurus can come up with a solution. Glad that Nicki is doing OK. How's your hip doing? Be careful out in the snow please and don't slip. Where did you get that questionnaire you sent? That sucker was a long one but I got it all answered. Let me know what you found out about me...
Guess what, I called in for my prescriptions today and when my companion went to get them, my home-physician gave her a hard time. So I had to go there at 11:55 - he closes at 12:00 - and have a little talk with him. He's such a **stard°! I walked in and told him off, got my meds. But it makes me so mad that he just has to play games. My poor companion was so surprised that a doctor would dare to act the way he did. His wife, who is also a physician, just stood there not saying a word because she knew that I would have the upper hand with her too. His excuse was that the paracetamol was too dangerous for me, and I had to remind him that my blood was too thick and that I would have to take aspirin if I did not get the paracetamol... he didn't say anything about the codeine though (this med has both) and that my blood tests came out good last week, so no liver problems.
Grrrrr, I knew today was going to be like this.. but I also knew that I would win any debate - and I was ready for it. Sometimes we just know we are heading for days like this and I just mentally prepared for it.
Now, I can lay back and relax a bit. Tomorrow my nurse comes by and at least the poor thing won't get the brunt of my madness from today. Wednesday I will try and go to group coffee and Thursday is the start of my second series of an Avastin regimen.
I hope that my JC and Alex have no colds on the weekend because I need to get a new supply of hugs from them. My sweet grandson had something very important to tell me on the phone last night and I agreed with everything he was saying even though I didn't understand a darned word. He was so serious though, so I guess he had an exciting day. I wish I could have seen his face while he was talking, just bet he had super cute expressions that I missed.
So, now I will see if there are any new trolls around - cause I'm still ready for bear.
Talk to you later!
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_15.gif
Ohhh, toughy huh? Well, some days you just can't back down;) So you just relax now that you can and our thoughts will get Alex and mom better so they can come and see you;) Hugs and love!
Mornin Momma C! I have to go through all of my emails and read them. I got that questionnaire from my Mom. That one was nothing... you should see the ones my Aunt sends me sometimes. They are as long as my arm, and it takes me 3 yrs to answer them... LOL!
Yes, I get worried about falling on the snow and ice. I've done more than a few times! I've got no one to shovel for me this yr. so that is the next on my list. I hope I can find a neighbourhood kid, and not have to hire a service, because they chrg. Outrageous prices. I also need to find someone to walk Nikster. It actually looks like it might snow today again. It's usually just a light dusting this time of yr. but that can still be very slippery. I can't afford to keep on falling. One of these days I'm going to fall the wrong way, and there goes my hip. Damn those guys for putting me in this condition.
I'm sure glad you went in and kicked some butt today with your Dr. You have enough to deal with, without their bullcrap! Give them hell Momma!
I enjoyed our visit so much, and that definitely won't be our last! We have too much to talk about! My LD plan is a very good one, so we can talk anytime. Just give me the word and I'm a phone call away! I just hope I can remember how I dialed it the last time. It's a good thing I'm used to calling England, or I wouldn't have been able to figure it out! ;) I'll get it right again. I just have to remember if I took off a zero or a one, or if I added one... LOL! When we talked, I figured it out by the ring tone, which is also how I know if I've got a # to England right. At least I have your country code now, so it's not too tough.
I hope you are able to see little Alex this wkd. and he doesn't have a cold anymore. I know he's probably got lots more to tell his Ama.
I think I might dig out my Halloween decorations today... if I can find them that is... and look around and see what kind of Goblin Snickers will be this yr. She actually has fun when I dress her up. She gets all excited! LOL! Halloween might also be an opportunity to ask the neighbourhood kids if they know someone that would like to make a few bucks walking her and shoveling for me. So I better make Niki nice and cute! LOL!
Good luck with your Avastin therapy Thurs. but I'm sure I'll talk to you sometime before then! :D
Muchly!
Yup, real tough today. So Where are my COOKIES?? I could swear that I got a whiff of them a few hours ago - could be my imagination.Quote:

Hi Starby, you missed me! Glad that your puter is functioning properly!
Cookies?? COOKIES? Where? Where? What cookie?? Tell me, tell me pullleeeaaasssee!! :p
Oh, Halloween is in some days, right? Humm Saturday? I don't think I'll be here then... no wait, I'll be here at 5.00 am Canadian time! Ok, see you later then!
Hi Unky! Halloween is tomorrow. I'm going today to get a couple of Pumpkins to carve, and see if I can find something scaaaarrryyy to dress up Niki, and decide what I'm going to wear to scare the crap out of the neighbourhood kids that come to the door... Muwaahahahaha! The price of candy is scary, so if they want some, I'll scare them right back! LOL! I love Halloween! It's my fave holiday!
How did your infusion therapy go today Momma C? I hope it scares your monsters away! BOO! Send your ghouls and goblins here... I'll tell them where they can go and how fast to get there! ;) In fact... I'll just mash them to a pulp!
YouTube - The Monster Mash Music Video
Ah, you're here. That's the problem when you're invisible, I don't know whether you're here or not, and I may go without knowing that I missed you, lol.
Yes, it's for tomorrow, lol. Just found a calender with the 'important' days of Canada at the back, and realised that Halloween was for the 30th of November. You see, we don't in Mauritius. Actually, people generally go to the cemetery on 1st and 2nd of November.
EDIT: LOL, a typo mistake... sigh, I was thinking of some other thing I guess. Ok, you corrected it!;)
LOL! Halloween here, and in the US is the 31st of October. Why do you go to the graveyards? I guess some do here too, but it's usually a bunch of bratty kids that cause damage to tombstones, which is very cruel, or they go there and have a party and try and scare each other, and make a huge mess and steal things, like flowers that people have brought. Damn kids! No respect! They need a good beating... LOL!
Thanks for asking starby.. The infusion was postponed until Monday morning at 8:00! And I am mad as heck!
First of all this morning my gut feeling told me to all can make a new appointment and stay home. Well, I didn't listen. As I walked in, there were over 20 patients. There are only 4 beds, 4 reclining chairs, and the remainder are chairs at 4 coffee tables (regular chairs). So, the nurse pointed to the remaining chair and said she's be right with me. I said that I could not - because I cannot sit, so I guess we'll have to make a new appointment. She said she'd talk to the doctor. Well my doc was not there today so she talked to the other one. The other one (as related by her) said that if I wanted to reserve a bed or recliner I would have to pay 50 Euro for it (nope, not kidding) or come tomorrow at 0800. I said that I could not make it Friday but could come on Monday - so that was arranged. You can well imagine what I thought of telling this person who does not even know me or my spinal condition.
Now, I have to pay for the taxi fee for this 'ride' because I did not get any treatment. The taxi driver was kind enough to trust me for the money after payday. He and I have a good rapport on our trips back and forth - thank goodness. The insurance company will not pay for a trip where no treatment occurred. The taxi ride alone is so painful to me each time, that the entire day is shot, but I bear it becaue I thought it was worth the trips. I'm really thinking twice about his whole thing now. I'm tired of putting up with this crap, stress and pain.
So, you can imagine how my disposition is today... mad!
I sincerely hope that I have a nice visit with my family this weekend, or I might go over the edge and really lay down the law on Monday morning at the Oncology clinic. What makes me mad is that someone who's never even seen me feels he can determine the conditions - NOPE, not any more in this life -I'm the customer and I decide what happens, not him.
I kept my cool today because the other people I saw sitting there today depressed me so. They looked so pityfull and ill. I wanted to ask them if they really wanted to continue to suffer and sit there with all loss of dignity, but I did not - it just hurts me so to see them suffer like this. Most of them were just skin and bones and the worst was their sad eyes. I will never ever forget that sight. I am more and more determined NOT to wind up like that, ever!
Thanks for listening to me rant, but I just had it for today. If I were a drinker, I'd be souced by now. I hope I am calmer when I talk to my family this evening.
Hope you all had a better day and that you enjoy Halloween! It too is one of my favorites. Too bad there have to be some who like to spoil it, but not all have had the proper guidance in life to know when to behave.
C.U.later on when I feel better.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_1_225.gif
Awww, Momma C, sorry you had a bad day... Ok, I'll cross fingers for you to have a nice visit with your family this weekend that is for tomorrow. Feel better! Feel better! FEEL BETTER! :p
Yup, the exams are finishing me... I was already in November, lol! I guess I was longing too much for these exams to come to an end. Ok, catch you in the castle Starby!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN MOMMA C! Are you going to hand out treats... or tricks?? I think you should play tricks with the little goblins and ghouls! LOL!
BOOOOO!
Our sweet and wonderful Chery, how much I love and miss you. And how long I have had your post card. Oh, I promise you, it will get in the mail, but you just know, I adore you, and think of you all the time.
Love you Chery,
Allheart
Hey Allheart! Long time I've not seen you! Nice to see you here! :)
So nice to see our dear Allheart!. and of course her brand new fur babe Mia! What a cute little cotton ball she is!
How did your infusion treatment go yesterday Momma? I hope you didn't have any more trouble with that new Dr. or I'll have to come kick his butt into the next century! ;)
Here's your song 'o the day sweet Chery! :D
YouTube - Something With Numbers - Stay With Me Bright Eyes
Hi my dear friends. It's been a while, but I had a lot to do with my computer (not done yet) and then the doctor issue. My oncologist is on vacation and the other one just did not know or care about my spine and coxys, so I had to set him straight, which I did- I won, and at the end he asked me if I needed a prescription - I said no thank you.. and walked out. Got the infusion and will do two more, then I'll see if they all understand that I don't take crap from anyone. The nurses naturally are taking sides and try to make me feel it, but it does not phase me and I tell them off too. I'm just that kind of old gal...
had a super time with my grandson on Sunday, and gave my daughter her B-day present because Monday was her B-day. I reminded her that she was the miracle of my life and still is, and that she gave me another miracle - Alex. I am so super proud of her and don't miss a minute telling her that at least once a day.
I also had a chance to check out the pictures Stringer sent me, and WOW, I love his house and bet that there is so much warmth and comfort there. It is not a show-place, it's a place where people LIVE and LOVE!
I am going to attach the Halloween décor he had this year - bet it looked better in the dark with lights.. but he did a beautiful job and hope you enjoy them too. Sorry it's a little late, but as you now know, I've been busy with a few other things. I even found a few old pictures of me, and it brought back memories. More on those later..
So, going to try and attach the pics at once, if not, then I'll post a new post and add the rest.
Also, found a cute Joke of the Week that I will share... since you have not heard from me for a while, I needed to share at least a bit with you..
OK guys, you know I love you all, so please don't feel offended...
here goes the attempt with the pics...Quote:

For all of you who saw the picture of Stringer and Marta, you'll understand why I feel that he and I have a 'soul mate' relationship... the man in the picture is the one I almost married (was with him for three years) but my mother spoiled that.. We are still friends today.
We were on a cruise in Greece in the 70's here.
Now, I will show you what Jaime looked like when she was a little girl, then I will present the latest picture of my Alexander. He wants to call me each evening now and tell me all about his day. He misses me as much as I miss him and he is always happy to see me.. So I must be doing something right.
I spent some time looking at her baby pictures too and makes me wish I could sometimes start all over again and have more...
And now... the pride and joy of mine and Jaime's... he does his name justice.
Alexander... the GREAT!
Oh, by the way... I know it's late, but my computer was acting up.. so I posted Stringer's Haunted House on the Haunted Castle thread. Go there and check them out. Imagine the scene at night with the lights and fake fog!
Darn, I feel naked without my smilies...
:(:(:(
Chery, I love those pics. Your daughter and Alex look so much alike and with you too...
Woo Woo on the Cruise pic... WOO WOO is all I can say. Hugs, I got to go to work, I love going, but I hate leaving;)
Bow Chika Bow Wow! Look at you in your pretty dress, and a hottie by your side and meeting the Capt'n Momma C. Looks like a great memory!
I can't believe how much Alex looks like his Ama. Just want to pinch his chubby little cheeks and love him up!
I'm glad you gave that Dr. h*ll! You go girl! Let them know who's in charge! ;)
Hey girl, when I set my mind to something, I'll get there. I even got my smileys back. Don't know for how long, but it's the little things that make me happy too.
Yup, during those old days, I had no problem meeting and dating all kinds of men. Some just wanted a 'Barbie' to show off, but he and another guy were serious about the real me. Too bad my mom ruined it, but then again, I would not have Jaime and Alexander. So things worked out the way they were planned for me and I accept it with all humbleness and happiness.
I also accept the fact that until I take my last breath, I will have something in my life to tackle and prove myself over and over again - but I can handle it - especially when I have so many AMHD family members that support me with their warmth and loving!
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/39/39_8_1.gif
And lots of HUGS to you all.
We don't need no stinkin Barbies! Cat Woman RULES! Raaawwwrrrrr! All others can go sit in the 'litter' box! :D
I know Alex has already learned many important life lessons from Ama, and that is the best gift you can give him... well, and your endless hugs, kisses and LOVE! :D
FOR THOSE WHO ARE GROWING OLDER!!! You need some humor in your day and it isn't political!!!!!

This last one.... the FOUR STAGES OF LIFE.... is my favorite! Was only allowed to place 6 images in, so a few are not included.. but I picked out the best.
Just had to see if this would work, and thank goodness it did. I had to share these goodies with all. I sure loved them!
Thanks Starby for approving of me being the CatWoman now.. It's great being free to do things the way I want to from now on.
And Alexander is just being such a super little boy! As if he knows that's what his Ama needs.
Even though I know what these are Cher ;)... you can't click on them! :( Or I can't anyway!

My Firewall (other than what Windows has) and Antivirus (AVG8) program protect me enough, so I don't need the other crap that Internet Explore prohibits if you don't understand how to set it up. Heck, with the Internet Explorer, I could not even click on links to get to them (not even the links here on AMHD). I always had to switch to Firefox, so I am sticking to that from now on.

Chery, how precious to see the photo of you, Jamie and Alex. I love seeing photos of everyone. I guess I missed the photos of Stringer and Marta! I had been trying to keep up but just ended up crashing and burning for a bit! LOL
You look like such a lady! I don't think I ever did. LOL
Jamie and Alex'x sweet little lips look so much alike. How precious. Just want to hug them both. I have been going through some photos and it just warms the heart, doesn't it and to see the similarities between our children and theirs. I didn't look like anyone in my family and thought I was adopted for years. Then my son stands in my mother's living room at around age 9, holding a photo of mother's dad and they could have been twins, well, brothers maybe. It was good for me to see that.
Alex has matured so much since the last photo I saw of him. OH goodness, just want to hug him.
Yeah, I don't know. It shows me all X's, and I right click and click on open pic, and that won't even work. Oh well... I've seen them... no biggie! ;)
Hey Starby, I thought you meant you couldn't bring the images up on the "getting older" post. I didn't get those but did get the family photos. My brain is spinning&**()&%$^&**&%^%^&%^&!
