:}^ Everyone!

Weather here has been rain, rain, rain but it is good chance to wrap gifts and clean house!

Laurie :Hugs:


Sandie said: I think I was being scammed by this guy on Craigs list. He is from out of town "working" and wanted to send me a Cashier's check and have his driver pick up the rug. I told him to send me cash thru Walmart instead. If he does that I'll be surprised.

...Usually the scam works that they send you a check that is more than the amount you are selling the item for and ask you to cash it and send them the leftover amount... Bank usually doesn't catch the bad check until it's too late and you've sent the overage to the scammer.


Carole: has that stone passed???? My SIL traveled with us on a cruise a few years back and that darn stone didn't pass until we got back to FL! It was big and black, we joked with her that she went outside and picked it up in the street.

Safe and comfy travels to Florida!


Marsha: How did the move go?

.... Request for Cruzer Mojo,

my dear cousin (she's like my sister that I never had,) Elaine, has been dealing with her DH going through cancer issues.....

He had a spot of skin cancer at one point over a year ago which was removed and treated, and the doctors were supposedly testing him every few months and keeping an eye out....

His back began to hurt and then he found a lump under his arm pit several months ago....

Doctors were shocked to learn this was the skin cancer reappearing... it had traveled to lymph nodes and other areas.... (the doctor actually cried because they had missed this cancer!!! They had been giving him a clean bill of health all this time.)

He has been enduring all sorts of the usual treatments, has lost 50-60lbs due to being unable to eat.

At one point they thought the chemo, etc., was helping but then he developed infections from the treatments which had to heal before they would continue treating him and in that time frame is when they learned the cancer spread to his spine....

While he still has high hopes, as his mom and his brother had and fought cancers (theirs had not gone into the bones, ) my cousin says there is little hope for him...

On Friday they will go to cancer center at Rhode Island Hospital for an updated prognosis....

Thank you all for any prayers and/or thoughts and strength you may send their way... <:3

Linda, prayers for your cousin and her DH :X:

I'd like to add to Sandie's comment about the craigslist scam...I buy and sell stuff on CL all the time. Whenever I post something to sell I always say "Local cash sale only. No scammers." I do still get scammers though. Never ever agree to sell anything to someone who can't come look at it and can't pay with cash. Even trying to look for an apartment for my DS I am running into scams. They will post a house or apt. for rent and when I respond to it they email me back and say that they live out of the country and want all kinds of info about me. No thank you! Never give info about yourself!

I'm sorry, I wouldn't touch Craigs List with a ten foot pole.

If you want them to come in person to pay you, you are putting yourself (or your family) in a dangerous spot!

Not worth it!

...ever hear of the Craig's List Killer? He was charged in 2009 for assaulting a prostitute/stripper at a hotel in Warwick, RI.... she was lucky to have survived.

oh my gosh I HATE HATE HATE cancer. You just never know where it is going to strike next even when you think everything is fine cause that's what you are told. I can't stand the thought of missing something. The dr's are not genius tho they miss things all the time. Same for the strokes it just gets to me so bad when I was working at LSS my clients were all elderly. It used to just break my heart when something like Marsha's mom and Deb's DD's MIL and Linda's family too. :( :unsure: to everyone :Hugs:

Marsha did you move???? I don't remember hearing about you moving. To where????? I think it was Linda that mentioned that?????

Our weather is finally changing for the good. I just hope it doesn't come pouring down and cause a lot of flooding and problems like around Malibu with the mud slides.

Vicki I'm so happy you have moved here. We have to get together after you are settled. Sorry :Hugs: DH is still in Bakersfield but I hope that doesn't last too long. How's the new job????

Praline I thought you had found a place for DS? I hope those arrangements have not changed. :unsure: I remember you being worried about that tree what was it last year? They will have a HUGE lawsuit if it falls on someone and they aren't fixing it. Could it fall on you???? Be careful.

Linda thanks I thought something was up. Maybe they only go after the high end $'s???? I'm just glad I didn't fall for it. Thanks to every one else with the advice also.

Mina I've been dealing with the same issue since I was 21 y/o. It's so annoying. Sorry it happens to you....I feel your pain. When did family come home?

Deb nice the airlines helped you out. Good whine job!!!

Penny I don't think I like the idea of Kool aid or anything else for that matter. I'm just fine with having a white dog and different color bows. Besides it would take away for her cuteness. NO THANKS!!

Laurie I'm so sorry you have to go thru this time of lethargy. I'm glad they are going to try to help you out some with the infusion. Just do like Karen suggested and read some books and watch funny movies. Laughter can help. Wings holding you in healing loving light. :Hugs:

KeeKee is using the litter box pretty well. >O< She even used DD's cats box at her house. First time for the cat and the dog to meet. Mikah did not like having a dog in her house and KeeKee did not like seeing a cat and barked at her. Mikah almost swatted her but it didn't come to blows thankfully.

I have to go to the dentist soon. One of the implant holes that they have left open for now is raking or catching under my tongue and ripping it open. In the scheme of things very minor but still annoying. Neurologist confirmed nerve damage on my right side from hip area to toes. So thank goodness we can all whine here and get the love we need. >O<

:}^ CAROL... I love white pointsettias the best too...We also have a white one this year. I also like the burgundy ones. I saw some real pretty burgundy ones, 3 weeks before Thanksgiving...but I did not want to purchase one that early in the season. Another thing nice about the white ones...they always look fresh and pretty in Jan. & Feb...when they last that long. The red ones weary me after awhile. :D

BTW...We look forward to your coming on every evening to hear about your day...and share your news with us. You are one "80 Something High :W: Steppin Cruiser"...grass can't grow under your feet. :D ^(")^

SCLady - rofl Thanks! I am so grateful what I can still do / especially
since in 2005 I would have been in a nursing home for the rest of my life/
I couldn't even stand to fix a meal /and "G" led me to a wonderful surgeon
who gave me 2 new complete knees straightened my crooked legs from the
arthritis and I have no pain / :)^
Yes, there is something about white poinsettias
I'm off for some hot chocolate /
