But... look on the bright side, you live CLOSER to Vancouver

Yes but...but... TSE won't be until next year at the earliest.
Well at least Jumble is coming out here! Even if I have to wait for another 7 weeks!
And I do like living here. Oh well, I guess I'll make do!

Of course, my place is always open for visitors! Hmmmm! Do any of you have cars that float!

And yay for mini woohoo meet! I sincerely hope we have cause for celebration when you get here.

A car that can float? Hmmm. Interesting. When I go out shopping for my car, I will try to get one with that feature! It sounds like it would come in handy

I'm so jealous....you are all going to Anderson's. Food and desserts are so great. Feeling lonely living out in the PNW without any of you around. If I was at the beginning portions of my life, I would move to England. However, being at the other end.....I suppose I will stay here. However once MoB moves out here there will be one more!
You all have lots of fun during your Meet and Greet weekend!

Yes! With many roadtrips between Seattle & Vangroovy I hope!

Yes, that's the only problem with living in England - Vancouver is just toooooo far away

The very fact of you being there will be reason to celebrate

Love our two little Jameses (I have no idea how to pluralize 'James' ) They're both growing up so fast

Hi WooHoo's

No time for a proper catch-up.

Dad had his first chemo session and he seemed to be okay at first but now, a couple of days later, he is really feeling it. The aches in all of his bone and teeth are so bad he can't sleep and the nausea has set in. He was crying this morning and saying he doesn't want to go through this again but he needs at least one more treatment, possibly two, before they can do the surgery.

I hate cancer. I hate what it's done to my family. It took my mom, it damned near took my brother (and he is not out of danger yet) and now it is causing my father to go through hell.

Char had an interview but so far no call back for a second. She is spiraling into a depression and at this point I wish I could just get into my car, start driving and not stop. Just go away and keep on going. Unfortunately that isn't an option so I will do what I always do and just keep chugging along while hoping and praying for the best.

Have a sparkling day WooHoo's and Happy belated Birthday to Estrella!

I want to add my few little thoughts about this whole thing. And I am talking to you through experience. First I am assuming your father was a lot younger than my mom so that will help. But, and this is only a suggestion, but if he has to take one and maybe two more treatments, how about talking to the doctor and asking that the next treatment be not a strong and extend it out to a third treatment. What killed my mom (and she was 84 at the time) was that the treatments were too strong for her body to fight off. It just wore her down so much that her body gave out on her. She got rid of all the cancer, yet didn't survive. And this information came from her doctor although I already realized it by then. Now, I am not a doctor and have no useful medical information. But this is something I truly believe in my heart and soul. Your body can survive a lot but not always if it is thrown at you all at one really big splash. Sometimes you have to take it in a few strong but not over powering doses. Please, just think about it, but do what your thought tell you, not what anyone else tells you to do. And my prayers will be with you.

Me too! Really hope so

I know! I can't believe how quickly babies grow up I mean, I knew on one level, but actually seeing it with my nephew it's just astounding watching him change and progress.

This is great advice. I lost my mother to cancer 7 1/2 years ago and my father is almost 1 year in remission from his, but the chemo nearly killed him. (he's 72) because of how toxic ift was for him, they took away one of the drugs to keep him alive. And it worked. My very beloved voice teacher is also currently struggling with a similar cancer to what my mom had and they are talking about treating it as a chronic disease because it's so insidious.

Hugs to you. I know how hard it is, but Laurie is right. Talk to his doctors. Make sure they are treating the person not just the disease.
