I think I'm too independant for my own good. I've been burned a lot in my life and sometimes feel like I can't count on anyone. I need to learn to let go and lean on people more. I've learned to let people in a lot more since my diagnosis and that's been a really great experience for me. Still makes me nervous sometimes. I...

I hope it all goes well for you, and remember sometimes it takes great strength to accept help.
scruffyhightops:
Good to read that you are heading for a good recovery, but remember, as strong as you are, asking for help is not a weakness.
(I my honest opinion, Emo has caused some very weak gents, I mean, their is being in touch with your emotions, and then being feeble. )

Hey there...I'm on the same block as Jerry's Bar...I'll promise to take you some place classier than that, even though Jer's is the premiere dive bar in Northern Liberties...

If you need any help on your road to recovery, please let me know. An ear to bend, shoulder to lean on, etc.

More than happy to be there!

ARRR!!!

damn it's chilly!

I warmed up with a caramel apple. I'm a happy girl now! wink

I may start looking for a housemate. I enjoy living alone but I also have 2 extra bedrooms and could always use some extra cash.

Of course there was a tripple shooting on my block last week. My house is dope but my hood is not for everyone. We'll see...

A) Damn you're cute.

B) You dig bikes.

C) Did I mention your freckles yet? Le sigh.

Hope you're kicking ass and taking names, lady. We need to chat more often.

I'd say go right to Brian Donovan. He is (was) Mercury as far as I'm concerned.

I think my sister may have chair time lined up that she may not use. If you're interested, I can try to hook that up.

ARRR!!!

haven't been on much these days. Between work and Dr. appts., life has been hectic.

Hope you are all doing well.

I went to six flags for Fright Fest. It was lame and the lines were ridiculous but I did get to ride Kingda Ka the world's fasted and tallest roller coaster. It was a rush!

countdown to surgery, freaking out a bit. duh!

Good luck sweetie, you are such a strong person. I envy that. xo
twotoner:
Be strong! I know you can beat this!

I've been writing breast cancer stories for the paper and it's amazing how..well...amazing so many of these women are. It's really inspiring.

I can't even imagine how you feel and I feel ridiculous even mentioning my issues because they are nothing compared to cancer. I take things for granted and I feel guilty that I let my depression and anxiety take over my life. I would never even admit that it was a real problem until a few months ago but now I see that it's not something that I can control. You are such a strong woman and I thank you for your words of wisdom. I need to take your advice. xoxo

Keep that chin up, as a cancer survivor that helps a lot. You are almost over the hump.

by the way, someone told me once that the right choice is the one that you made.

...for whatever that is worth. wink

Those multi person conference calls can be brutal extremely difficult to get a read on the entire roomyou strike me as a very competent personbeing chosen even if you reject the offer is good for the soul

what a great fucking weekend!

Saturday I hung at the beach all day. The waves were SICK! Yes I know using the word "sick) in 2010 is not cool and shows my age but..suck it! wink

Sunday I rode my first 50 miles and I'm still im chemo. Makes me feel so good to just ride (though I was a little grumbly towards the end). lol...

I'm sorry about that Salty. When the surgery because if it's sometime around mine we can do a recovery together thing. It's just a thought.
