Topic: RE: My turn to step up to the table for some cheese and whine...(long)
Hey Gosh, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I do know how you feel.
1) thank goodness for insurance so that isn't the root of my money problems. Just having 5 kids and living is hard enough.
2) my marriage is very shaky at the moment. Not sure where it will lead but going the distance.
3) I thought I was finished with all the hair loss and then bam it starts falling out again. I guess I'm going to take the advice above and try the biotin.
4) Acne has never really been a problem for me but I do have the stress breakouts. I have my daughters use the Proactive and it works for them. I would go with the real stuff, we tried the Walmart brand and wasn't satisfied.
5)Exercise? what is exercise? unless you count walking down the hall to the bathroom.
6) My sex drive has remained the same. I am more comfortable with my body and trying new positions. I just keep my eyes closed and keep repeating "don't look down" and then I try to forget about the skin.
We all have our problems and it is nice to be able to share with others going thru the same thing. Take care of yourself.

Hola Julie,
Que tal?
I can't imagine paying for the surgery out of pocket. I hope you get a tax break.
The reason Fabio's so fabulous is because we don't have to wash his underwear.
Ugh! pills... no... more... pills.............
Exorsise the exersize. We could start a revolt for revolting exercise! I think chasing after my son and tolerating my husband should count. Mabey instead of kick boxing I could try kicking his butt around the house, and getting it in gear...
As much as my husband complains of lack of nookie, you'd never guess I'm addicted to romance novels. I have a partner, and it still doesn't help. Someone else suggested I ask to have my testosterone levels checked, that that may be my problem. I'm still leaning on the annoying thoughtless husband angle, though.
I love my job, but I dislike most of the people and politics that go on there.

Hello Terri C,
Just wait until the Thanksgiving leftovers are here...
I agree, he's very good at reminding me.
I already cut a foot off my hair. I'm just waiting. Mabey I'll get to the point where I'll have to start doing the Donald Trump combover.
Don't blame you.
Good for you! You go girl!
The rest of the family, surprisingly, doesn't want him to do it. I think it's a wonderful thing for him to do. One of the few things he's done this year to make me happy.
That's what's best about our month group, as opposed to all the other groups. It's nice to know we're all, pretty much, reaching the same stages of fustration as everyone else who had their surgery about the same time. Comiseration is good.

Hello Terri R,
We tried to refinance the house, but we couldn't. The payments would've been twice as much. For us, it's not just the unexpected medical bills, but the fact that when Francis and Jeanne blew our house away, and it took a over a year to get back into our house, we had bills left over from that. But hey, the lotto's over $30 million, or so. All it takes is a dollar and a dream, right?
Amen!
more pills??? wahhhhh, wahhhh, sniff, sniff
Don't you just LOVE - NOT!! - people?
It was kinda between the two. Not totally laid back, but not at a 90 degree angle, either. Since I'm having trouble walking around, today, I just went and did the upper body things, so at least I'm trying to do something. (pats self on back) 
I just don't understand why he thinks I'd be interested in "getting it on" 5 minutes, or less, after we've argued??? How about being civil for a while, first, you know?
Looks like you're the 0.1, as a couple of people came after you. Well I guess that makes sense, if you consider all the weight we've lost. We're a fraction of who we used to be 
Gosh

GOSH,
Hiya chica!!! well my turn to respond.
1. I paid for my surgery too. Luckily i paid in full at time of surgey but it still hurt my pocket book so i feel your pain I had no insurance ugh.
2. I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIPS!!!! I think...ok no I THOUGHT! That after this surgery that i would have to get a number thingy for all the men lning up to go out with me lol what a fool i was. the only differance now is i have more men to complain about. i do have more action as in boys calling boys asking me out BUT they are all idiots and game players so i question if it was better when they DIDNT call or ask lol. Get on your knees right now and thank god you not in this dating scene.....as for being a father....my sons dad has not seen him in 2 months and thinks work is an exceptable excuse...HELLO he works at disney not a heart surgeon....so i know having your son sitting next to his dad as he plays online chess seems rather lame....at lease he sees his son on a daily basis. try explaining to a 12 year old that his dad has and makes time for his wife and 2 other kids but just cant seem to make time for him...THEY JUST DON UNDERSTAND and to be honest neiother do i.
3.I took take biotin 5000mg as well i think it helps try it.
4. well so far no acne but i have been getting skin rashes....ichy dry spots all overmy arms its nasty i go to dr on wed so i am gonna ask about that.
5. EXCERSIZE..... i admit i have been slacing where i used to go everyday i am going 2 days a week...i know i sux..its just so hard now first off i have 2 jobs now when before i only had one. Then im in astall and before i was losing and it motivated me to go. and lastyly i have been going to a kick boxing class and all i see ( i am sure noone else notices) is skin flayling around the room lol. i have also taken up bike riding with a friend so i would have to add that to my 2 days at the gym...but still i understand.
6. i dont have a lack of sex DRIVE i have lack of SEX PARTNERS lol noone worthy of my goddessness lmao im so damn picky i rarely allow me to touch me lmao!!!
AND I hate my job.....sigh will i ever be satisfied???? lmao

BILLS... Lets not even discuss them... I honestly have to say that I had the most amazing wedding and would never change anything about it except for the fact that I wish we had been just a tad bit more stingey with some things. NO, we didn't need to have chicken, turkey and roast beef for the main course (of course the left-overs were amazing but dang I am so tired even thinking of left-overs.)
MEN... They are all dip****s and when you tend to forget that, they do something to remind you about it... I love the hubby, he is a good man, but sometimes I just wish...
HAIRLOSS...Hmmm you are talking to the woman who drove an hour to go to my hairstylist the morning of my wedding after having gotten 4 hours sleep cuz she would be able to cover up the balding spots ! Take biotin and some hair vitamins. ALSO... I tried minoxadil (however you spell it!) and it did help out. I found a generic brand at the local drug store for $30 they say for 3 month supply but to be honest the one month bottle lasted closer to 6 weeks.
ACNE... I will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't become an issue.
EXCERCISE... I was doing really well for a bit but lately seem really tired and dragging my butt out of bed earlier to excercise is not high on my list of priorities.
SEX... Well.... Yes, sex is wonderful... Uhhmmmmh but who cares ?!
Congrats to your hubby on the bone marrow thing... That has to be great satisfaction to him and your family.
I hate that we have all this crap going on but do feel just a tiny bit better that alot of us are going thru this. And, also appreciate that we can share it...

Am I the only one who sees a blank post? Have you shrunk down to nothing, girl?

Girlfriend, if that's all you have to whine about, consider yourself lucky!
1) Thank goodness I don't have medical bills on top of all the other bills. I think the bills thing i****ting harder with the holidays coming. Have you tried to get one of those debt consolidation loans?
2) Men will be men. And, men just suck sometimes. Nuff said.
3) I agree with GG. Try the biotin.
4) Ewww. Chickenpox? (hugs)
5) What kind of bike? Was it a regular exercise bike or a recumbent (where you sit in a chair with your legs in front of you)? I can't ride a regular bike because of my arthritis. Try a recumbent one. See if they have a water exercise class. Those are really easy on the joints. See if they have weight training. Again, easy on the joints AND increases metabolism
6) There with ya sistah! My huband gets really smelly and sweats a lot. I'm sorry but if I have to hold my breath while we're having sex, it ain't working for me. And, he gets all butt hurt when I tell him he needs to shower. So, sex disinterests me now. I wonder if I can have the sense of smell temporarily removed .... hmmmm.
That's wonderful that your husband can be a bone marrow donar!
2.3 .... hmmmm .... I must be the .3
