[quote]But maybe he had another plan for you? Same goes for me with my thinking I should not have forced the issue in saying no like you forced the issue by saying yes. [/quote] Technically I didn't force the issue. At the time I didn't know it was an issue. I started the pill to keep from getting pregnant, and later learned a side effect was it balanced the estrogen in my body which allowed me to get pregnant. <span style="fo

[quote]You be as angry as you want. Throw stuff around, call people names, kick and scratch. Scream to high heaven. You are absolutely right...it is not fair. If we were there, we'd scream and cry and kick and scratch right along with you. We've watched this process with so many folks over the years. Our hearts and prayers are with you.[/quote] Thanks BFD. I actually only have spurts of "anger," which usually get spent on the page, then I move on

This is a tricky area because essentially what we're saying is, while God gave us the ability (DRS/Scientists) to create medici

I love autumn. The deep vibrant colors really move me...(probably why my house is done in reds, rusts, sage greens, heh). Lovely article Kelly. Beautifully written.

I was on BC for twenty years for two reasons. First, I didn't want lots of babies (didn't know when I started that naturally it wouldn't have happened anyway). Yeah I read about the women with regret for only having one or two, but I KNOW two was my limit...more than some days. Second, without the pill, I could go a year without a visit from Aunt Flow (the revelation). If I waited for my cycle, I'

[quote]I don't mean to come off as harsh or anything like that, I am just trying to give you a kick in the pants and tell you to deal with it as it is and move on. It is what it is and you still have a life to lead whether you like it or not.[/quote] That's not harsh Mason. And I'm not asking "why me." I learned very young never to ask that question. W

[quote]She called me last Monday with bad news. Her breast cancer is very very agressive as well and had already spread thru her whole body before they discovered it this time. They just found a tumor pressing on her lungs. She was having trouble breathing even while talking with me on the phone. I prayed with her as it was a very upsetting phone call. Usually upbeat she was very discouraged.[/quote] I'm so sorry to read this KFC. That is one thin

[quote]Cathy never mentioned this. She's on steriods right now. She's calling it a steriod high. She loves it. It makes her feel really really good she says. [/quote] Lol. Yes, they do make you feel great...no doubt...but the side effects stink. This is from the mayo clinic and mimicks what I was given, though it doesn't give as much detail... Side effects of oral corticosteroids Because oral corticoster

[quote]I was not aware they were medical. The way you described them they sounded like personal stories of women who have been there. [/quote] They're both. So you were right. The side effects and symptoms are straight from the medical literature though. And you communicate just fine....

Breast cancer does not mean a woman is saintly, strong, self-sacrificing, or even wise. It does not mean her political views are right, she is morally superior, or somehow touched with holiness. It means she is sick. Some people with breast cancer sucked ass before the disease, suck ass during the disease, and continue sucking ass if they survive. (I’m sure fo
