I admit it... I'm scared

[Rani Zemirah]

Hey... how am I supposed to play the pathos card when you guys are makin' me laugh so hard???

(pssst... you're ruinin' my schtick, here...)

[maelstrom0370]

HA! Sympathy ploy!!  I knew it, you wily woman!

Pictures, huh? Lemme tell ya, I avoid the mirror when I get out of the shower, but if you want pictures...all I can say is...they're your eyes!

[Rani Zemirah]

Hey... it can't possibly be worse than the email I accidentally opened last week! At least it'd only be an innocent raver sacrifice, with some incidental nekididity (<<<spell check is having an epileptic fit over that one... LOL), and not the  !hardcore porn shot! I was subjected to all unknowing. Lemme tell ya'... never NEVER open mail if you don't recognize the name!!! I thought it was someone from my CHURCH, of all things... LOL  Talk about eye bleach...  bleck...

Oh sure!! Like strange people just randomly send porn to people they don't know.  I'm not buyin' it, sister!
What do ya call it? SPAM??  Bah!  Next you're gonna tell us you get emails advertising Viagra and larger...ahem...noses!

Oh, Sweetie, can I ever sympathize w/you.  I had stage 4 (5 being death) non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent most of a year of chemo & radiation.  Yes, it was awful.  Yes, I was sicker than a landlubber hogtied & thrown in the bilge.  Yes, I was suicidal both during and after treatment.  But that was then & now I'm fine - knock wood - & enjoying the world.

It can be done - take care of yourself & keep us informed.  Please don't hesitate to reach out - the Rennies are capable of amazing amounts of good thoughts & blessings.  We'll see you soon!

[Rani Zemirah]

Thank you, Taffy. I'm so glad you beat the nasty C! I'll be callin' ya up all barfy so you can tell me "this too shall pass"!

I am learning much about the wunnerfulnesses of rennies every day! (hey, I'm a sicky... I can spell however I want!!! )

Geez... now I'm gonna cry cuz ya'lls so nice...

Laughing is the best way to get through tough stuff, in my experience...and we're all here to laugh  with you, and send lots of {{HUGS}} when you don't feel like laughing....

...sending lots of strength and laughter your way 

[Rani Zemirah]

Thank you, Tygrkat. That's why I love these boards so much, there is so much love and laughter here!

[Fairyfly]

I'll send you lots of happy thoughts and gutter minded laughter! Since my friends tend to help keep my mind in the gutter, I've got plenty of day passes to spare! Tee hee

Please feel free to reach out any time! That is exactly what this forum is for! *HUGS*

[SarviaRose]

HUGS, I hope everything is okay. I will catch you in Chat and we can have fun and laught and go ooohh look something shiny.

[Rani Zemirah]

First dose this morning, after staying in chat all night with a new friend who helped distract me from the impending ordeal. I'm starting to not feel well now, so I think I'll go lie down.

I look forward to the shinies, Sarvia... thanks for the hugs! And you too, Fairyfly, for all the gutter minded laughs you can spare!

All of you have helped me work up the nerve to get to this point. Thanks...

Rani,
I am sending hugs and prayers your way. Having a strong spiritual soul and help from the Heavens above, will help you get through this ordeal.
Take care!

Congratulations on taking your first step back to health!  Every treatment brings you closer to your final treatment.   I'm so proud of you.

Find a friend, a movie, a song that makes you feel better.  I watched To Wong Foo almost every day - cause you know, if Wesley Snipes could be an even somewhat attractive woman, then so could I.   

Don't eat food you love - you don't want to associate it w/sickies.  I found that I could eat food at room temp because then it didn't smell so much & set off the sickies. 

Finally, take care of yourself - that's job one.   Good wishes going your way.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
