I have a set of tiles, but do not know how, so I satisfy myself with computer games. My friend in SA, back in our '72-'74 stint over there was French and from Mauritius. Her parents and elderly aunts and uncles all played..I have never lost my fascination!<BR/><BR/>hugs to you..HeleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795473510871212217.post-64309138624332187462009-03-19T10:17:00.000+01:002009-03-19T10:17:00.000+01:00My good friend Ian swears that really healthy eati...My good friend Ian swears that really healthy eating has been an enormous part of his recovery, so go for it - organic, fresh and all. As for the tablets for anxiety, I have to keep some by me as I get severe anxiety attacks every now and then (especially this week as our house move approaches). I take the bare minimum dosage and find that they quell the physical effects of the anxiety (which can be so debilitating) without sedating my mind, which is exactly what I need. I hated the idea of taking them at first, and use them very sparingly, but when I need them they are terrific.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795473510871212217.post-7764307132914883672009-03-19T03:32:00.000+01:002009-03-19T03:32:00.000+01:00Hola Carol, Quite a day, huh...the call, but not...Hola Carol,<BR/> Quite a day, huh...the call, but not enough answers yet! Ok, we can all wait a little bit with you as you keep on telling us in all the detail about what is going on! <BR/> Hand inthere, we're with you!Lori S-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935271057806830931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795473510871212217.post-11033049482368927002009-03-19T02:26:00.000+01:002009-03-19T02:26:00.000+01:00Carol,SAM here, never commented on a blog and neve...Carol,<BR/>SAM here, never commented on a blog and never used facebook. FUnny that I pride myself on keeping my SAS programming skills up at work but I am a total wuss when it comes to the internet...I can't bear little icons and shortening of things like LOL but Emmy is planning to train me to text and join facebook.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is wonderful and I do appreciate the blow by blow and all the gory/body function detail. It may help some of us with early warning signs but more than that when you share all the details it makes what you are going through so real and I feel like I am hearing you on the phone. THanks..it is hard to share such intimate details but, how can I say this without sounding weird, it really sounds like you. I know our bodies have changed over the years but except for my husband no one has seen me in the buff as much as my friends when I was young. I can remember our shapes and sizes and what you looked like at my wedding...like it was yesterday. ISn't it funny how things have shifted and expanded on our bodies but the essential part is still there underneath. IT is a good body, it's taken you to great places and frolicked on many beaches and in the waves. It hasn't betrayed you...it has just been invaded. <BR/><BR/>I am off to Texas for a wedding on Friday. When I called Karen to talk about your news and make sure she knew, she told me that Peggy was getting married the same weekend in AUstin! I was hoping Karen was going but Peggy invited her at the last minute when other guests had declined. Typical Peggy to put her own sister on the B-list for the wedding! See how things never change. Karen was pretty cool about it ... she said it made it easier to say no. I may give Peggy a call and stop by to see her if there is interest, but...The wedding I am going to is a daughter of a friend of Jose's. He is now part of my family of friends in the DC area and his daughters have stayed with us when job hunting/interning etc. Imagine now going to their weddings? Oh and the bride is expecting in July. SHould be a nice break from work and let me concentrate on friends for a little while. I will be following your blog eagerly when I have internet access and waiting to hear what really happens to eyebrows during chemo. YOu realize there will be no need for a brazilian wax either.....hmm perhaps you should think twice about going into those details....<BR/><BR/>OK...big hug...and by the way...I never had any idea that you were so crafty (in the sense of making crafts)! THis blog has shown me a side of you that I didn't know about...thanks again. Big hug to Maya and hubby.<BR/>Samsamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827920054595434777noreply@blogger.com
