Great you’re back ITRR!

Alva, no I don’t write here in order to keep a diary. You can’t guess what I’m going through. An unbelievably hard time. Sometimes I post about it, and even the slightest positive words from people here, have helped me a lot. We all need help, encouragement, sometimes. What is going on, is out of my control. But the friendly words from some people here, have always lifted me back up.

Alva, you are right, I am and always have been in Arizona. Don't have a clue where Margaret got her idea of so cal.

I am praying that you beat the C straight back to hell.

You take care and keep that feisty attitude.

Comments get taken down or edited all the time on this forum as everyone well knows. Suspensions happen too. I'm going to go ahead and say it though. Isthisrealyreal goes too far. She really does. If she doesn't like or agree with something she doesn't try to refute it in a civilized adult manner. She doesn't use plain speech to make a point (which can sometimes seem a bit rough). No, she goes after the person personally, attacks all of their previous posts and resorts to petty insults. I would not be surprised if AgingCare removed her profile permanently. She goes too far.

DrivingDaisy, I think then that is the explanation. RR went off of her "time out" they give us whenever, and somehow in their doing a reset, her old messages to me did a reset to being current. Glad she's back, and hope she isn't peeved anough to stay away.

Alva, no new messages, but isthisrealllyreal, private message, that she sent me, that I never erased, is back to her name, and not anonymous anymore. I'll message her back, see what happens.

OK, here's the odd happenstance for today.
I always keep my message box cleaned out; that is to say if I get a private message I read, answer and delete. So my message box is always empty.
Today, ever single message I ever exchanged with RealyReal since before 2019 through of late popped right back into my profile inbox. And I had to delete them one at a time again.
Anyone else having messages reappear after elimination?

Alva, I haven't been on all day, had a picnic, but as for outlandish questions, I actually believe them even more than the non outlandish ones. Some stuff you just can't make up. That's just me, I think when you have had insanity around you, you are more apt to believe that insanity happens, and sometimes, I don't tell people stories, because, that makes me look like the insane one. So be happy that you haven't lived though these kinds of stories.

Like a wife, that has never even considered cheating, can trust a husband, that is a complete cheater.

I don't check in discussions often, but lots going on, it seems.

Venting, it is good to see you back, but you come to us when you are hurting from the load of it all. I hope we are like your diary, those books we used to only write in when times were tough, then left to our kids so they could envision a life on "only tough" times. I once reread a mess of old diaries, then spent hours before the fireplace burning them up. I thought "I truly am NOT this unhappy a person; why would I leave this to my progeny". So no fun misery for them to look back on now I near the exit door.

Sorry, all to wordy. Now we know why it is best I limit myself to being up in questions for the most part. Because I put few other limits on myself!!!!! All take care.

Off. I always though that RR (realyreal) lived in AZ. and I have NO idea why. So she lives in LA area? Who knew. I guess I just thought "desert" because I have seen her discuss beautiful weather, cactus blooms, and I created my own AZ. myth.
As TO RR. I admit first of all to a sort of odd fondness in what started for us as a love-hate-love-hate relationship. I think as one of our long time regulars she gives solid advice. She's outspoken. Many of us are. I think I am. Burnt is. I don't accept she's gone and I suspect she is on an anonymous because someone got offended by some THING I missed, and the admins hit the block button. I think when we are REALLY gone then we don't show as anonymous or as anything at all, and back in the day when a bunch of people were shown the door EVERYTHING they ever said went with them. So I believe she's coming back to us; wouldn't have it any other way. Who will I argue with, otherwise? And who will still be so kind as to steer me to the Emus? And their oil.

Now on to the Forum itself.
Listen, our questions today--and cwillie, I am not the ONLY one with this conspiracy theory--are odd. VERY. Either it's full moon or we are A.I. invaded, or or or or. Some of the questions repeat "and amp" as in "&" over and over. Our keyboards don't do that. Some other stuff out there DOES. And the questions are too outlandish, some of them, to be real. Sorry. We have hovered before at the edge of the universe, but some today have tipped over? Am I wrong.

@ Margaret , I understand what you're saying, different areas have different experiences, I am trying to understand that and not judge so much.

Like my area is cannabis capital of NY, it grows like weeds here. 😂. But I've had to learn to not talk about it because, other areas are like 😲

MargaretMcKen and DrivingDaisy, ITRR has been disrespectful and nasty to others on this site when she didn't like what or how something was said (and not just to me). She didn't attempt to adhere to the Member Comment Policy. *Maybe* you didn't see those posts because they were rightfully reported and quickly removed. Drivingdaisy, some of them were on *your* post about your husband's health issue. You saw them and supported them. And you also were rude and disrespectful to me on that thread.

Alva (and Deb), what I found in research described it as a "pre-cancer".

Deb,
According to the internet there is this about dipnech cancer:
"DIPNECH has an indolent course and only rarely leads to respiratory failure or death; progression to overt neuroendocrine tumor (carcinoid) of the lung occurs in a minority of patients. Of available therapies, somatostatin analogs and mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors are the most promising."
I am quite fascinated, as I am an old retired RN, a cancer survivor (so far!) times two, and never heard of this cancer. From the little I can find your MD is correct, but I certainly would be the last to know anything much about this cancer. I wish I had more for you.
Admins: I am also hoping this post from Deb can move up to questions, somehow. Self-reporting.

I have Dipnec cancer and always exhausted. Caretaker of my husband for 22 years, who has had four spinal fusions from cervical spine down to lumbosacral spine. He also developed severe neuropathy and TD from Lyrica. His quality of life is improved only by morphine under control by monthly visits to pain mgmt Dr. I have lung cancer,resectioned left lobe surgery in Nov.2024. My walks around neighborhood and daily yoga routine stopped after my surgery until Feb., but then husband needed knee surgery and was unable to walk without walker and I could not leave him unattended. For the 2 months of taking care of him for knee surgery,I could not leave house for walks, weather freezing also, and tending to everything plus his care prevented me from yoga. My own health,mental and physical, failing. Got psychiatrist and trying to motivate self to start walking and doing yoga. Hired landscaper since I can’t do that. Now I feel I must hire housekeeper. Constantly worried I am weakening what was a strong body recovering well from cancer.
I have lost all motivation and limited to reading and watching tv.Visits with friends and relatives limited,because I feel nauseous all the time. What can I do to regain momentum? i don’t know what is causing my lack of motivation and my fatigue. Hypothyroidism,
medications and see endocrinologist every six months. Clinical depression,now on meds I think are making me nauseous. Is this just part of aging? I’m 70,but before surgery felt like I was 50. My husband is 75.
way too long a post, but can anyone help? Does dipnec do this to body? Nobody,including my doctors know how to treat it. Thoracic surgeon diagnosed it and called in oncologist…who tells me not to worry about it.

”anonymous” only happens if you delete your account (she wouldn’t do that)…or if you’ve been blocked (temporarily or permanently) by admin.

Another topic. I am thinking about getting a new washer and dryer. They have to be stackable front loaders to fit here. I was told recently that the new washers with the energy and water regs don't wash as well as the old ones which use more energy and water. About 14 years ago I got a new front loader HE washer and dryer and they worked OK.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
