Results 31 to 35 of 49
April 30th, 2013 03:23 PM #31
My mom was 42 when she accidentally got pregnant with me. (Let's not talk about the irony of the conversation in when she told me that condoms had expiration dates when I was 19 and I had to point out to her that I had not only told her that 6 months earlier but also wasn't planning on taking contraception advice from someone who opted for the "counting method" and failed at it). She is not the oldest women in my family to have given birth with a cousin having her fourth at 47.
I have a friend whose mother was 27 when she had her and 40 when she had her little sister. Her mom wasn't ready to be a mom the first time around but was a completely different mother the second time around. However, my aunt was an awesome mother hen to all at 13 when her mother was forced to go back to work after her father got injured. I say this not because I firmly believe that every women has the capacity to be a great mom. Some feel they want the vitality of 20-something youth to help them out, others need to mellow out from their party days, some feel they can do with uncertain financial and emotional stability and yet others find emotional and financial stability an absolute must, etc. You shouldn't worry about everyone else and just worry about when you think it's right (or more right) for you.
I really hate it when people say they want to be young mothers so they have the energy to run after their kids. If your in your mid 30s or 40s are you going to be running around with a walker? My mom (as stated above) was older and the energy she still has now is astounding - what she does in a week, the thought alone exhausts me. I expect it's similar to how younger mothers feel when others say they "waited" for emotional stability. So to each their own, right?!

30 is YOUNG! When you're in your early 20s, it may seem old, but, trust me, it's not! You definitely won't be an old mum! 30 is the average age of first time mums in Australia. My husband and I are TTC and, if we're successful this month, baby will be born just before my 30th. I understand what it's like to have friends who have their families younger, but, seriously, don't worry! You've got the right attitude of wanting everything in your life together before you try for a baby. I wouldn't advise putting it off till you're 40, but 30 is fine (and very normal)!~ Violet Elizabeth Rose ~

@Flick - I didn't mean to cause offense, I just meant that, since the OP said she wants to achieve certain things in her life before having children, she shouldn't put pressure on herself to have children before then simply because she's worried she'll be too old. Honestly, I think people should have themselves together before they have a baby. You've got to be prepared! And, like Ren said, sounds like you feel you were prepared when you had your baby.~ Violet Elizabeth Rose ~

The Critical Thinker
My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
Wisconsin Police Received $28 Million Dollars in Military Equipment
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
Local Wisconsin Police agencies have received more than $28 million worth of military gear through the 1033 program since post 9/11.
Documents from the state's Department of Military Affairs, obtained by Gannett Wisconsin Media under Wisconsin's public records law, show that more than 67,000 military-grade items were given to 219 agencies, according to the Stevens Point Journal.
Including heavily armored vehicles such as tanks, GT Boxers, MRAP's, Bearcats, Rooks and a variety of Mine-Resistant Personal Armored Carriers (PAC).
Other items include spy equipment such as Stingray technology, Hailstorm cell phone tower, night-vision goggles, M-16 assault rifles, grenade launchers, robots, LRAD and a helicopter.
Rock county police sheriff, Robert Spoden recently purchased a tank in Wisconsin instead of upgrading out of date firearms for his county. This purchase comes after the county purchased a robot and a Bearcat military vehicle.
In Brown County, the sheriff's department received a massive mine resistant ambush protected military surplus vehicle in April. It only had to pay $3,900 to have the vehicle, valued at about $700,000, shipped from Texas, said Lt. Dan Sandberg, commander of the Brown County Sheriff's Office SWAT team.
Many other police departments around Wisconsin are receiving this equipment including Madison, Neenah, Beloit, Janesville, Marinette and Milwaukee, just to name a few.

Sevier County native Charles G. Hawley is the new publisher of The Richfield Reaper. The announcement was made last week by William Brehm Jr., president of the Brehm Communications, Inc. family of community newspapers, which has owned The Reaper since 1990.
"Chuck has been a valuable part of The Reaper team for 30 years," Brehm said. "His being named publisher is a natural transition for the newspaper and the communities it serves."
With the announcement of the new publisher, The Richfield Reaper officially shifts its head position to someone outside of the Fuellenbach family for the first time in more than 75 years. Hawley, 54, has been serving as the interim publisher since the death of Mark Fuellenbach in April. Fuellenbach passed away in Price while he was attending a business meeting with company executives and the Sun Advocate's local management. "It's an honor to be selected," Hawley said. "Being the first publisher of The Reaper since 1934 who is not a member of the Fuellenbach family is humbling."
Brehm addressed concerns some have expressed about both The Reaper and newspapers in general.
"In the national media, news has been very bad for the larger city metro and publicly held newspaper companies," Brehm said. "In the public's eye, smaller community newspapers have tended to be lumped in with them and there has been some concern expressed for The Reaper.
"Yes, The Reaper and other papers in the Brehm Communications newspaper group have been hurt by the recession and changes in the marketplace, but not to the extent of the large city papers. Our company is better able to adjust and weather the poor times," Brehm said.
He said The Reaper focuses on local news and advertising, and isn't competing with the metro or regional dailies.
"The Reaper Web site and the printed newspaper are powerful tools that complement each other and will continue to be the dominant source of news and advertising for many years to come," Brehm said.
During the past three decades, Hawley has moved from being a salesman, to advertising manager to general manager of The Reaper. Born and reared in Richfield, Hawley graduated from Richfield High School in 1973, and went on to serve a mission to Australia for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Hawley started his newspaper career as the advertising manager of The Wasatch Wave, The Payson Chronicle, The Summit County Bee and The Morgan County News. He then came home to Sevier County to work for The Reaper, eventually earning the Jim Cornwell Distinguished Service Award in 2001, presented by the Utah Press Association for his "numerous innovative contributions to the art and science of newspaper advertising."
In addition to the time he has spent in the newspaper industry, Hawley has also been involved with local and regional civic organizations. He has served as president of the Richfield Area Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Central Valley Planning and Land Use Commission, the Richfield Lights Parade, is a member of the Utah Resource Advisory Council, and served on the sub-RAC for Factory Butte. The RAC, whose members are selected by the secretary of the interior, serves as an advisory board for the Bureau of Land Management on land use issues.
Joseph J. Fuellenbach purchased The Reaper, which has been serving the area since 1888, in March 1934. He died in December of that same year, and his wife, Rula, took the reins of the business and ran it until her passing in 1959.
At that point, Norman J. Fuellenbach, Rula's son, took over as publisher of the paper. It was while Norm was running the paper that The Reaper's longest continually employed family member started at the paper-Marge Fuellenbach, Norm's wife and Mark's mother, who still comes in to work each week. Norm also wrote "The Rat Race", a humorous and sometimes controversial column that became a signature piece for the paper.
Rula and Norm were both inducted into the Utah Newspaper Hall of Fame for their years of service and leadership in Utah's newspaper business.
Norm ran the paper until his passing in 1977, at which point Mark took over The Reaper. Mark sold the paper in 1990 to Brehm Communications, Inc., and remained the publisher until his passing in April.
"Chuck Hawley is the right person to follow in the footsteps of the Fuellenbach family at The Reaper. He has been a good partner for the community and the paper," said William J. Brehm Sr., chairman of BCI. "We are proud of Chuck and the good work that he is doing for the newspaper and the readers it serves."

The Emery County Sheriff's Office is seeking information on the death of three cows near Huntington. The incident took place around Thanksgiving when three cows belonging to Huntington rancher Dan Hunter, were discovered dead in a pasture near Nielson Construction on North Loop Road near Huntington.
The three cows were found dead and died under suspicious circumstances. It is believed they died by wounds inflicted by a rifle. The animals were found in a pasture behind Wayne Nielson's house.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office would like to talk to anyone knowing anything about this incident. Callers can remain anonymous please call 381-2404 with information and ask for Det. John Barnett.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "We find these types of crimes to be very offensive. The needless killing of animals is uncalled for and we would like to apprehend those responsible for this incident. These cows are the livelihood for these ranchers. They sell these animals to earn a living and it creates a hardship for the owner and it's a waste."

Mid-Western Maritime
Manitowoc, Wisconsin offers rich shipping history, sweet charms and a relaxing atmosphere.
Growing up as it did on the shores of Lake Michigan where what became known as the Manitowoc River empties into the third largest of the Great Lakes, it's no surprise that Manitowoc's history is immersed in maritime tradition. A city of just over 34,000 residents, Manitowoc was named by its first inhabitants after "Manitou," the great spirit of the waters. Settled in the mid-1800's the city was largely industrial from its inception and by the 1920's contained several large companies producing boats, cranes and aluminum goods.
In 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt called upon America to rearm its military. Existing shipbuilders could not meet submarine production schedules so President Roosevelt approached Charles D. West, president of the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company, and requested that his firm build submarines. During the war the Manitowoc Company built 28 Gato-class submarines, including the USS Rasher that sunk the second highest enemy tonnage of any U.S. sub during the war in the Pacific Theater. Only four were lost to enemy troops.

The Flea Wars
Like many wars, we were unsuspecting. We had no idea that a war was coming to our doorstep. But, in retrospect, again like other wars, there were clues…many clues.
A little history, we haven't had fleas in over 10 years. Even when I had six cats and two dogs, I was easily able to keep fleas away. Mostly, by using those monthly spot treatments that you can get from your veterinarian or at a pet store. You put a few drops on your dog's back and tail area once a month and – voila! No fleas.
So, when Lilac (our dog) started itching in June while we were still in Florida, I attributed it to skin irritation or allergies from everything blooming. And, then when the cats started itching occasionally, I just overlooked it. What a mistake!
Pleasantly ignorant of the invasion that was happening in our RV right in front of our eyes, we proceeded to make our annual migration back to Maine for the summer. When we arrived in early July, Maine was having one of those once in hundred year summers. The normal annual rainfall in Maine is 42.28 inches. But, according to unofficial reports, there has already been twice that amount of rain this year. And, I found out too late, that fleas love wet weather.

RV Maintenance, Service and Repair
Recreational vehicle service and maintenance – we have all had exposure to its necessity at one time or another. In the vast realm of RV options such as type of RV, floor plans, color schemes, types of chassis', interior furnishings and other assorted appointments, just to name a few, there can be no denying the "non–optional" eventuality of service, maintenance and repairs required by many of the components on our coaches.
This is especially evident as we keep and utilize the motorhome over longer periods of time. Virtually all coach manufacturers agree that in order to receive the most out of the recreational investment you've made, adequate maintenance must be performed on certain components on every RV. In fact, a typical motorhome with a generator and two roof air conditioners has a minimum of 16 retail hours of mandated maintenance that needs to be performed each and every year! That's right, sixteen hours worth. And many coaches mandate up to 20 or more hours of annual service. At an average retail labor rate of, say $95 per hour, that could total almost $1900 per year for just trying to avoid a major problem.
Product manufacturers oftentimes will indicate the necessity for periodic maintenance on their individual products each season as a precautionary step in obtaining the optimum use of that product. It is noted, however, that all products will not automatically self–destruct if these sixteen hours of maintenance are not performed, but it is highly recommended and one would certainly gain additional life from these products if they were to be maintained and checked periodically.

Hi, all!
Well, fall is finally here! That means an end to hot summer days, but that shouldn't mean an end to your RV adventures! This time of year offers cool nights (perfect for campfires), crisp mornings and fall colors, so get out there and enjoy them. All too soon we'll be talking about winterizing again!
We are seriously considering purchasing a Class-C motorhome. In preparation, I am looking to find a good source(s) on what to expect when you own one. Such as proper way to hook up, clean out tanks, care for exterior, how to winterize and summer-ize, generator care, etc. Any books or websites you can direct me to would be appreciated.
Hi, Tom:
There are a lot of great resources out there for new RVers! There's no way I can begin to cover them all, but I'll give you a few of my personal favorites: First off, take a look at some of the RVing forums online. These are places where RVers and other interested folks join together in a community to share knowledge and information. Here are just a few:
. For great RV training videos, check out
, and for great RV manuals and books,
. You can also attend live seminar-based training at many RV rallies around the country. I actually teach in one called RVers' Boot Camp, and you can find out more about it at
. Best of luck to you with your new rig!
I stay in a 5th-wheel at family's house. On hot afternoons my air conditioner starts to sound sluggish, then trips the circuit. It will work fine in the a.m. and evening after major heat stops. Could it be the extension cord I use? One theory is it is not heavy-duty enough to deliver the juice the a/c needs in peak heat hours. What size should I use?
Thank you, Linda

Reese Strait-Line Hitch
Reese offers one of the most effective weight distribution and sway control kits on the market, the Strait-Line, and it's made right here in the United States. The Strait–Line from Reese incorporates the company's Dual Cam High–Performance System.
The advantage of the Dual Cam System is its ability to forestall sway in addition to providing sway resistance. Another advantage of the Dual Cam System is that it is installed on the trailer and therefore does not require adjustment every time the towing vehicle and trailer are hooked up, unless hitch weight or tow vehicle load are changed.
Strait–Line is available in two different styles of spring bars, each tested for flexibility and the ability to accept deflection without bending or breaking. The Strait–Line Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System's head includes a forged raised ball platform and trunnion mounts. The Reese Strait-Line Round Bar System, with one–piece cast head features easy–to–use adjusting blocks for faster ball mount angle adjustment. With systems rated up to 15,000 pounds of gross trailer weight, Strait–Line has a solution for even the biggest rigs. MSRP: $700 to $850, depending on application. For more information, visit

½ package grape–flavored drink powder

Greening up your RVing or camping lifestyle can be accomplished in many ways. And some are very easy. One of those easy ways is to look at how you re-hydrate yourself when out for a walk, on a bike ride, or in the car touring the area once you've established your base camp. It may seen trivial, but considering that something like 10 billion non–reusable plastic water bottles end up in land fills every year in the United States, an easy way to go green is to stop buying bottled water and instead purchase reusable, refillable plastic or metal water bottles for use during your activities. There are a number of companies making reusable plastic and metal water bottles, so they are easy to find. However, like most things, it's not as simple as that.
Research has linked bisphenol A (BPA), a compound found in some plastic food and drink containers, compact discs, electronics and automobile parts, and in the lining in some metal cans, to a number of health risks including cardiovascular problems and diabetes. With this in mind, we suggest you choose from the companies making re–usable plastic and metal water bottles available on the market that state they are BPA–free when shopping for your new "green" personal hydration system.
The Navigator Wants to Hear from You!
Do you have a funny RV or camping story to share with other Woodall's and Camping Life readers? We want to hear them and I'm sure they would love to, too.

To submit your blooper, simply email your story to
under the following guidelines:
What to Include:
• A title appropriate for your blooper.
• Your original Camping Blooper, where you were, what happened and why it
was memorable.
What Not to Include:

Have high–quality, home–style drip–brewed coffee anywhere, anytime, even off–the–grid, without using your stove, microwave or electricity.
The Brunton BrewFire is one of our favorite new gadgets at Camping Life Magazine. Maybe it's because we love our java, ever more so on a cold September morning in the mountains, or maybe it's just the novel idea of a home-size drip coffee maker built for rugged outdoor use and fired by propane or butane. No matter, the BrewFire is a got–to–have–it appliance for the adventurous camper. Durable ABS and stainless steel construction, 8–cup capacity, and auto shut–off safety features are highlights. The coffee maker can run on a standard 1–pound propane bottle or 4– to 16–ounce butane canisters just like your camp stove, and will have a pot brewed before you can cook the bacon. Best of all, since it requires no electricity, it's the perfect companion for your off–the–grid RV–camping adventures. MSRP: $160. Brunton: 800/443-4871;

Looking High and Low
As we arrived my brother informed me that I could enter the North lot of the restaurant, drive around the back and park in the South lot, facing out. He told us that he had driven that way and there would be no problem. Of course, it didn't enter my mind that 1) he drove a fairly small car and 2) this was Father's Day and there may be more cars than usual in the lot.

Millions of you are living with cancer. By the year 2022, researchers estimate more than 18 million people in the United States alone will be living with cancer. As our population ages, that number may grow.
In 1996, the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship pioneered the definition of cancer survivor as being any person diagnosed with cancer, from the time of initial diagnosis until his or her death. They later expanded the definition to include family, friends and caregivers who are touched by a cancer diagnosis in any way.
I've met many of you who don't consider yourselves survivors. People in the midst of treatment and/or dealing with recurrence don't always identify with the term survivor. Others say they don't like the label survivor and instead prefer the term thriver — putting the focus on living as well as possible, without the focus on cancer as a chronic condition.
Recently, I found a new term — previvor — in an article. It refers to people who have survived the risk of cancer due to genetic mutation. We're living in a time when, armed with DNA test results, you can make informed decisions to prevent a diagnosis of cancer.
An example of a previvor might be a woman who has a BRCA mutation and actively manages that risk by increased screening or preventive measures such as bilateral mastectomy or removal of ovaries to prevent breast or ovarian cancer.
As additional genetic mutations are identified that indicate a cancer risk, more people likely will be identified as previvors. Prevention strategies continue to be discovered that will help you take an active role in preventing cancer from occurring.
How do you feel about the terms survivor and previvor? I'd love to hear your perspectives on this topic.

If I was diagnosed with cancer on September 16, 1996 & was declared cancer free on March 28, 1997. How many years would I be Cancer Free? 20 or 21?

Words are important to me, which is how I came to search for a definition for survivor. On one hand, I felt I could be considered a survivor hher I was declared NEDS. Then when new tumors developed, I came to broaden my definition to the more medical definition of being 5 years NED.
"Previvor" doesn't resonate with me, as it suggests an outcome that may or may not happen, and doesn't offer a clear understanding of where the person with cancer stands.
my current opinion is that if you have cancer, and are alive, you are a survivor, which linguistically is the most accurate of the limited choice of labels we have to work with.
I still think labels are important, both to manage expectation levels of those with cancer, as well as to inform others who aren' familiar with cancer where a person stand in general, and help start the conversation with the person with cancer without embarrassing themselves.
So far, the only term that bothers me that I have found a more accurate replacement is "remission". I have found NED to be much more accurate,and it has no positive or negative subtext. Just clearly means what says.
I applaud your efforts in clarifying the layperson's cancer vocabulary, and would be glad to add any insights that pop up as I am working towards the same goal, assuming I can find your blog again.
I had an interesting experience a few years ago with a Relay for Life event - I was volunteering to help and asked not to be given a "survivor" t-shirt but was told I had to have one - so I didn't take a t-shirt and never volunteered again - I found that the survivors who walked first were always pretty maudlin and crying/etc - that's being defined by cancer!! I know everyone's a survivor of some sort - ours just happens to be cancer!
I now distrust doctors as annual mamograms stated for 15 years there was no cancer and then the next year I had an architectural distortion which was identified as several cancers of varying size in one location.
Could it be that those of us who have been misdiagnosed for years are prone not to declare themselves as "survivors" since they are told that cancer is microscopic and and can wander around from the original site and reoccur as a metastesis any time from today to more than 20 years later.
It feels ingenuous to say "I am a survivor" and feels like the many years that I was told there was no cancer in the mammogram when indeed that was not a fact.
So someone made up the term and we just get to decide if we are one or not?? I thought it was a medical term. I had surgery and radiation for breast cancer and am now taking a drug for five years. Survivor holds no affinity for me...it's all sstill happening. It could come back or else it won't.
The 3 steps of Human cancers. 1st step is a person who just received the news of Having Cancer. So you are considered a Person WITH Cancer.
2nd step is now you begin to understand the scope and the growth of YOUR cancer, so you become a Cancer Warrior as you and your doctors plan to war with it.
3rd step, the battle has been won, now you sit and wait to see if the enemy is really Dead as the wait goes on you are now becoming a Cancer Survivor. As a survivor with a renewal of Life you start to question HOW can I protect myself so I can LIVE a Life without Cancer.
You start as a Person With Cancer, continue with becoming a Cancer Warrior, and finish with Being a Cancer Survivor, and defender of LIFE!
The human body is a frail thing but the Human Spirit is relentless.That to me says it all.I was diagnosed with SLL/CLL 9 1/2 years ago and I have relapsed once and have been in remission for 2 1/2 years.From day that I was diagnosed I have refused to be a victim and I refused to be defined by my cancer. Some may call them survivors but I think of myself as a warrior that has fought a great battle and won.I beaten cancer and have won the chance to finish my life on a path with heart.A path with heart is a life filled with no regrets and no worries about the future.A path with heart sees the beauty in every second of the life extension that I have been give.Like a Roman gladiator I have made peace with my death and so there is no need to concern myself with what is waiting for me tomorrow. The peace that I have made takes away any barriers between me and what is life. Every day is a gift on a path with heart and so I am walking that path and around me I see what life is and and how special it can be and I am overwhelmed. EHG de Martinez
Regarding the use of the word "survivor", I personally have no problem with it. I think that everyone who has had cancer goes through many different emotional challenges and are entitled to think of that experience any way they like. If some people feel like they survived going through something horrific and are still here, more power to them. The term survivor doesn't necessarily mean you are a survivor forever. You might have survived a plane crash but that doesn't mean you are immune from surviving another crash. I have been through chemo treatments 5 times. My remissions have not lasted for much more than a year at most. I do not feel like a victim or that I have been labeled. I am very grateful for going through all my treatments and having survived, meaning I am still here. Yes, the cancer will probably reoccur and I hope I survive the next treatment too. I'm at peace and hope all who have cancer will find their own inner peace. It's not easy, I know.
This conversation means a lot to me as an educator and someone who works with people living with a cancer diagnosis every day. I appreciate hearing from each and every one of you! What I do know is that your ability to put your feelings into words will help others who are in the same place as you are...living with cancer, but not defined by cancer.
Labels are just words and the actions you take are worth much more. I found out I had cancer when I was pregnant with my twin daughters. They just had their 5th birthday. I have a genetic mutation and my daughters have a 50% chance of having the same. I chair the Relay for Life dinner for survivors and caregivers because it is a celebration. I do not do it for myself but to show my daughters that cancer is a diagnosis but does not make you who you are. Cancer has surrounded my daughters their entire life as we have know people that have continued to fight the battle and others that fought for a very short period of time. They will need to start testing at 10 years old because of the genetics and I never want them to be scared. I can tell you I have enjoyed each day more deeply and do not have regrets. My house may not always be clean but I never say no to reading a book or playing with my children. Am I a survivor? Yes. Am I a thriver? Definitely. But most importantly, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc. and God has blessed me with today.
Amen Jan. Peace be with you
I have never liked the term "survivor." There are many others in the world who have just as serious diseases as cancer. In 2010 I was told I was terminal, but am still here. I responded unexpectedly to some treatment. More recently my cancer has progressed yet again. No other treatments are feasible, I've had them all. To be honest I am just tired of the struggle and ready to accept an inevitable part of life--death. Our society has such a hard time accepting it. Friends and family help. However, right now I just want to be by myself and not listen to empty conversations. I am at peace in my own way. It's hard to say how long I'll be here. I think that the hardest of all this is that it is always hanging over your head. Nature helps me to be at peace the most. I have made the most of the last few years enjoying nature, my friends, and being thankful for each day. All any of us need to do ultimately is accept God's plan for us to be at peace.
Thank you Judith. I am familiar with Theodore Dostoyevsky.We have The Brothers Karamazov on the book shelf. Might get it down and look at it again. It has been a rough week. One of my former co workers died from cancer this week and another has been told they cannot do any more. However, I also have talked to a couple who have been on this journey for twenty and ten years. So, that tells me no two patients are the same. I made Pigs in the blanket today (rolled cabbages). So, I am trying but not doing a very good job I guess. I just cannot deny have cancer for the third time
I have decided to ignore any words to describe me other than a cancer patient and hope it will not even be necessary to discuss it.in public We had an inspiring double rainbow over Lake Huron last night. . it was inspiring. Thank you again got noticing and I just might eat a hot dog soon.
AW, we don't have to be labeled anything at all. We are all people who have suffered misfortune from what seems to be the plague of modern times. I know you must be tired. So just know that I've read your post and I do care. About you...about me...about the others who have suffered...we need words to express how we feel...and most times, the words to communicate about cancer are pretty awful so we "clean" them up and use substitutions and euphemisms. Feel better and do whatever comforts you...watch TV or read Dostoyevsky...or eat a hot dog...or cry...or laugh...but know that I noticed your response and care about you....
I too, dislike the term survivor, (I am Thank God cancer-free for the second time)I don't define myself by what I went through, I define myself by the kind of person that I became as a result.
Thank God I have awesome family and friends who are comfortable enough about it to laugh and joke about it in a sensitive way.
May God grant you all good health and many happy healthy years.
continued......I am so tired and I would bet there those of you that would like to admit it and do not for fear of criticism of family, friends and doctors. Thanks for listening.
Survivor, thriver, prethriver...why do wehave to be labeled anything. One who has diabetes is called diabetic. Knowing that is something they will live with the rest of their life. cancer is no different. The word Survivor, in my opinion, is just a jingle word to give false hope and raise money. It give a person a false sense of hope. I thought at the end of my first five years I am a survivor and then "bingo" a re occurrence, then the second round of treatments and once again after five years I am now fighting it again. This time it can only be put into remission and no cure. Isn't it more truthful that once you have cancer we are not a Survivor but trying to survive. What is wrong with just saying you have cancer for the rest of you life just like many other diseases. I do not participate in Relay for Life as they have a dinner for survivors a victory lap for survivors etc. I am not a survivor. I am being kept alive by medication and treatments. Face the truth there is no so called Survivors. Well, that may be pretty strong I imagine there are long time people getting through the disease over many many years but are we surviving or survivors. Or just plain canceretes. As far as mutation goes there is a lot to think about before putting the family through that. Does a young girl whose family is prone to cancer really want to have a hysterectomy or bilateral on a blood test. Seems like it would put unnecessary anxiety on them. To be truthful I am so
I have enjoyed reading all your posts. I am 5 years " no evidence of disease" lynch syndrome colon cancer. I really do not label my self other than I will live forever without my colon and have follow up appointments. I also really hate all the language about fighting and being brave etc. I am a hospice nurse and no patient I have ever met wanted to die but sometimes it happens, it's physiology and sometimes there are no treatments. I do like previvor because my 3 kids in their 20s are in this place. They have the knowledge that this gene is present and they can make informed choices about their health and that gives them power and control which at their ages is huge.
In my metastatic breast cancer support group, no one considers herself a "survivor." We are not gloomy or fatalistic women, but the statistics speak for themselves. Three members have died in the three years I have attended; on the other hand, one woman has now lived five years beyond diagnosis and another, more than three years. So we have come to terms with our cancer, but we continue to be engaged with the things that bring meaning and joy to our lives.
I just had a mammo done and they asked me to come back for the another check. Paniky, I was thinking the worst. I got the check again, and guess what?? I was cancer-free! I like the thought of being a previvor. I posted it and everyone thought I just got done with treatment. I think it should be brought to the attention of the public of what it means to be a previvor.
Interesting perspective, previvor. I am one of those diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis. There is no cure treatment, only trial drugs to alleviate symptoms. Until you are at the transfusion stage, there is really no treatment, which eliminates you from the cancer centres where they have support groups. I guess this would put me in the thriver group, as I am thriving completely on my own(along with the internet which guides me to diet regarding my blood counts). I have thrived for four years since diagnosis. I do find the lack of support frustrating. Family can only do so much empathizing. I live every day to the fullest and love life dearly.
I had no pain before my cancer diagnosis in 2010. Now I live with pain daily as a result of my treatment. What I am surviving is the treatment....not the cancer. I watched my 89 year old mother-in-law die from cancer. She didn't do chemo so she had none of the side effects of treatment and lived with pain for only a short time. I'm not so sure that by choosing life on earth via treatment is really surviving. Maybe life with Jesus in eternity is what God intended for us survivors!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2013. I have completed my chemotherapy and radiation treatment and have just started my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I also like the term thriver. To me it means that despite the diagnosis and treatment you are thriving, in other words using myself as an example I am feeling good and positive and getting my life back on track. I have tried as much as possible to keep my life "normal" while having treatment and have managed to continue working. I have been very fortunate not to have experienced serious debilitating side effect, apart from tiredness, slight nausea and hair loss. My hair is now growing back and my next check up is in 4 months time. I am feeling strong and hope I continue to feel that way. I still rest regularly but am trying to start doing the things I used to do before my diagnosis and treatment and I am enjoying and appreciating them so much. It is like coming out of hibernation.
I am a cancer patient - diagnosed with Carcinoid cancer metastatic to my liver 7 years ago this december. I have had two surgeries and a chemo-embolization. I feel like cancer is a chronic disease that has to be treated not unlike diabetes. Just have to stay ahead of it - get treated - and live your life as normall as possible!
Reading the posts, I was most gratified to see that others also take issue with the term "survivor." The definition of survivor & anyone who has taken French in school can attest to, is "one who lives on." NO one lives on forever. I have had 4 different unrelated cancers so I have learned that "survivor" has no real meaning. If this desease comes to me again, will I be a survivor? Even though I am healthy, hale & hearty right now, I prefer to be designated as a "cancer patient." Yeah, that's a downer but it's realistic because that's what I am, with periodic tests & visits to my surgeon and oncologist. I am tired of the euphemisms & battle talk about people who have had the misfortune of getting cancer. I'd like to have a future blog about that, too. No one "battles" cancer whether they live through it or die from it. Cancer is the wrong side of nature & it will do what it wants to do. How we handle our illness is another story.But being brave is not how we handle the actual disease, it is how we choose to comport ourselves. There is so much fear and terror associated with cancer that no other disease has such misleading language when describing it.
Like a number of you, I find "survivor" a bit overstated. A "survivor" should be those who have accomplished something heroic. I have a chronic, rare form of Leukemia and quite frankly consider myself to be very lucky. It has taught me many lessons had I not gotten leukemia would have never known. I am lucky that it is chronic rather than acute. Whether the mutiple chemo's or the leukemia itself has caused permanent damage to my body is less important as I am still alive with a quality of life. I believe we should take all our life experiences, learn from them and make ourselves better people for them.It's not personal, just a part of our lives. I am not a "survivor", per say I have just survived my disease so far. I'm just happy we could share this moment together.
I don't like the term survivor. Some of us don't survive - does that makes us any less strong? Does that mean that we didn't try hard enough?
I appreciate all of the comments made.It certainly reflects how my feelings have and continue to change day by day. I guess for me it is a sort of "Club". There is an ease of similar experiences, similar humor and similar gratitudes that people who have experienced cancer share. I had breast cancer and endometrial cancer (as a side effect of breast cancer treatment). Thanks to all who share their experiences.
I am a survivor/thriver of Stage 3C2 endometrial cancer. I did not consider myself a survivor until I had completed treatment. That treatment was radical hysterectomy, three rounds of chemotherapy, five weeks of external radiation, three treatments of internal radiation, and three more cycles of chemotherapy. I survived the cancer and the treatment. This past spring a marked five years post treatment survival. Now I have no evidence of cancer. I do have peripheral neuropathy and need an ankle orthotic and use a cane or walker when leaving my home. Yet I am thriving. Thanks be to God for healing.
I am also one of those that don't fit well into the category of survivor, because I live with active metastatic breast cancer--have done so for close to ten years! I don't like the "war" labels that have become cultural metaphors for a lifetime journey with cancer. As my mother said, "Fighting doesn't solve anything!" I can appreciate that those dealing with difficult cancer treatments don't always feel much like "thrivers," but for today at least, I like the positive image of thriver, rather than the "war-torn" images of survivor.
I like survivor, except for the implication of victimization. To face and triumph anything has value. But it seems healthy if one can, to avoid letting oneself feel like a victim and all the stuff that implies.
Having thrived even before my cancer, I suppose that makes me a prethriver. So let it continue. Whatever one finds helpful, let it be.
I've read your post about meditation in nature and it is a great way to de-stress. My preference is Yoga Nidra as form of meditation and you can do it outdoors. It's good to do it under the guidance of a Yoga Guru.
the terms are somewhat misleading ,doesn't really speak to the all the different modes ..but the previvor would be disconcerting to those who had not prevented the cancer even though they really appreciate and would love to help any person's effort in that cause . the post here are right-on ..labels. its might be more of something like "THE C CLUB" with all kinds of people and their support groups in the battle for life on a daily basis ..previvor and survivor are all in 'THE C CLUB"
The last word of my previous comment got left off. It should read, and end, ... So is living. ;-)
All that follows is my opinion and my take on my situation. Its personal and doesn't necessarily pertain to anybody else. I have terminal cancer. CLL. I am in remission. Given the advanced stage of the cancer at the time of my diagnosis the remission will not last. Now "will not last" doesn't come with an expiration date and neither do I. At some point my cancer, and it is MY cancer because it IS a part of me (MY body), will be the death of me. So I never refer to myself as a cancer survivor. I have cancer and I deal with it. Dealing with it is the real issue, not giving it a label so that it can be compartmentalized and perhaps somehow separated from ME. Dealing with it requires the answer to one primary question. "How?" I was taught to love others as I love myself, which means I need to love me. My cancer cells are my own cells run rampant. They are a part of ME. So how do I deal with my cancer? Simple. And simplicity ought never to be confused with ease. I love it. I love my cancer. My definition of love is the hinge upon which my life, and my cancer, remission and all else, swings. To love means to honestly want the best for fill-in-the-blank and help bring that best about if its appropriate for me to do so. Because at times the best way to help is by taking a "hands off" approach, especially if I don't know what I'm doing. My cancer requires loving hands on and doing the next right thing. Cancer,survival, and love are just that simple. So is
Sorry, DNA-DID NOT ASK. THANKS.
Labels, labels, labels...I don't like any label per say that people define me as a person in a category. But, I do like individuals I trust, have faith in, respect, just good people who mean well. Selfless! In medical circles many disease groups are so supportive to each other, it is a honor to be a part of them, courageous individuals who have a passion for a CURE.
They don't want others to ever suffer the pain of what they experienced.
The transplant people and their families are beyond my imagination in faith. Life, is so precious, daily, daily we wake up with gratitude and go to sleep in a bed wherever. I have a dystonia, a neurological movement disorder, and am a volunteer advocate. I feel I am blessed with the disease because I am doing things in life, I never would have done and learned about life. But, I am very much supported and validated by other DMRF advocates and individuals who live with it and go for the cure!
Somehow I never have felt like I was defined by dystonia, we are so much more than an illness or disease. But it may be that from the disease we become more of what we are here on earth to do, GIVE LOVE, BE LOVED. Elle, I agree with you, who wants to be defined in one or two words, we are so much bigger than labels...don't even like fashion labels that's why I make all of my own clothes. Elle, laugh, at least cancer is cancer, dystonia is not known..".can we caught it from you?" I
wear dark glasses and a hat night and day. DNA-DID NO
I think these labels are ridiculous. I had cancer 12 years ago and I am not defined by it. I have also had appendicitis and many other illnesses over my 50+ years. I am not defined by any other illness I have had, why should I be defined by cancer?

A rape suspect out of Davidson County was apprehended in Mt. Juliet after a citizen spotted the man in a wooded area.
According to the Metro-Nashville Police Department, German Ricardo Giron Gonzalez, 20 had fled his car when a Metro-Nashville spotted him near the Davidson-Wilson County line. Sunday night, a woman reported that she spent the night at a home where Gonzalez was staying as well. She woke up to Gonzalez sexually assaulting her, and he fled when she screamed.
Gonzalez was spotted by the Metro-Nashville officer on Rehnea Drive in Old Hickory. Around noon, a resident of Hickory Hills alerted the Mt. Juliet Police Departments that she saw a man matching Gonzalez's description. Multiple officers responded and assisted Metro-Nashville officers with their search.
Gonzalez walked out of the woods and surrendered himself around 12:30 p.m. near Devonshire Drive and Maricourt Street.
Gonzalez is charged with rape. He is being held in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Bills' Marrone: Right guard is up for grabs
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 23 2014 11:46AM
The Buffalo Bills made a concerted effort in the offseason to upgrade the offensive line and now, only four days into training camp, it sounds as though they aren't done after addressing both the left guard and right tackle starting positions. The only other spot in question this offseason is now officially a competition. Kraig Urbik's hold on the starting right guard job is going to require him to tighten his grip a bit.
Head coach Doug Marrone once again explained the the backup quarterback job is an open competition well, and that opened up the questioning for other positions. At right guard, Urbik has been splitting first-team snaps with Chris Hairston, making many wonder if Urbik's job was in trouble.
Asked if right guard was "up for grabs," Marrone's answer was simple: Yes.
Hairston has been getting time as an interior offensive linemen through three of the first four days of camp (the lone exception was when Seantrel Henderson could not practice and Hairston played left tackle), as well as through the duration of the three-day mandatory minicamp in June. A former offensive tackle at Clemson and then later on with the Bills, the fourth-year player is making his first legitimate move to the inside.
Urbik, 28, is signed through the next three seasons and has cap hits of $3.375 million in 2014, $3.675 million in 2015 and then $4 million in 2016. He has served as the Bills starting right guard for each of the past three seasons, but lost a few snaps to the young J.J. 'Unga late in the season.
Hairston, on the other hand, is signed only through this year. He missed all of last season with an undisclosed illness and is attempting to make a comeback and secure a starting job.
The two will likely continue to get reps with the first unit as the team continues to try and determine a winner for the job. The team has a day off scheduled for Thursday and then resume practicing on Friday evening.

WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans on Wednesday proposed shrinking the federal workforce and freezing congressional pay as a way to avoid huge, automatic spending cuts at the Pentagon.
The "sequester" portion of the August 2011 law that raised the nation's debt limit imposes automatic spending cuts of $1.2 trillion over 10 years — half from defense programs and half from non-defense programs — unless Congress and the White House agree on a less drastic deficit-reduction plan.
The first installment of the automatic spending cuts — $85 billion — will take effect March 1, prompting President Obama and congressional lawmakers to consider alternatives.
MORE: Military services outline their spending cut plans
Wednesday's proposal came from four GOP senators — Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, John McCain of Arizona, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma — and top Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee. The lawmakers said the deep, indiscriminate cuts mandated by the 2011 debt-limit law would jeopardize national security.
"Our enemies would love for this to happen," Graham said at a news conference. "I'm sure Iran is very supportive of sequestration."
The GOP proposal borrows an idea from Obama's own deficit-reduction commission that calls for a 10% reduction in the federal workforce, or about 200,000 fewer federal workers over time. The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform recommended hiring only two new employees for every three who leave service. Ayotte said the bill adds a freeze in congressional pay, for a total savings of $85 billion.
The proposal would cover the remainder of fiscal 2013 and buy Congress and the White House more time to craft a broader deficit-reduction plan that would replace the sequester.
The group's announcement comes the day after Obama encouraged a combination of short-term spending cuts and tax reform to prevent sequestration. Republicans objected to the prospect of tax increases, even if it would mean preventing cuts to defense programs.
McCain said the sequestration cuts would threaten 350,000 full-time direct jobs at the Pentagon.
Graham said Republicans, who agreed to the sequester policy in 2011 as an incentive to reach a long-term deficit-reduction deal, are partially to blame for the impending military budget crisis. But he was especially critical of Obama, and said allowing the cuts would tarnish his legacy.
"You would have allowed the finest military in the history of the world to deteriorate at a time when we need it most," Graham said.

The Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is planning a number of administrative checkpoints this summer and fall. Checkpoints, once called roadblocks, provide a means to contact people along the stateâs transportation arteries. Anglers and hunters can expect to encounter one or more of these checkpoints as they fish and hunt.
Checkpoints provide an opportunity for conservation officers to monitor compliance with fish and game rules and to interact with the public to answer questions and offer advice about fishing and hunting opportunities. At the same time, biologists can collect information, which helps them manage the resource more effectively.
Checkpoints will be conducted on a variety of highways and roads throughout the state. It is the responsibility of the DWR to protect and conserve the stateâs wildlife. By curbing poaching, over-limits, and other unlawful activity, the DWR is able to better fulfill its mission to the wildlife resource and general public.

Some style bloggers hit the nail on the head about once a month by combining colors, textures, and style sensibility in a look that gets hype'd and turns heads. Some of them are consistently awesome. We love Swedish style blogger Frida's ensembles enough to merit her a Google Reader subscription and a glance in the morning when we don't know what to wear. She rocks denim like a champ, and we wanted to share three of her recent looks that we love, with some pointers to help you achieve a similar level of chic.
First look, faux fur x lace x hooded carigan.
Mixing a more casual garment (hooded cardigan) with a decidedly more formal garment (faux-fur vest and lace top), you get a look that meets luxury and everyday style somewhere in the happy medium. A pair of perfectly fitting medium-wash blue jeans and leather accessories make the look versatile and accessible, while the lace and fur combo always add a bit of bohemian charm. Keep that in mind if you're going for boho.
Second look, leather cropped jacket x cut-off shorts x costume jewels.
"Biker babe meets princess" is a look we love, and it's easy to achieve. One part cut-off denim shorts (wear them with tights when the weather is chilly), one part light-colored cropped leather jacket (the more buttery, the better), a plain grey tee, and a blingin' costume jewelry bib necklace combine for a knock-out ensemble. Her silver studded bag and metallic ankle boots are great punctuation for the otherwise light hued fabrics. Some fringe on those shorts are a must, and you can rock thick mascara and pretty pink lips to balance out the "princess" factor.
Third look, classic plaid top x platform shoes x ankle length skinny jeans.
Here's a super classic look that combines Americana plaid with '70s boho. Once again she wears medium-wash ankle-length jeans and her lace top, but she mixes those pieces with a boho fringe bag, a floppy hat, and big Jeffrey Campbell platform shoes. She layers a plaid top in red, white & blue and changes the course of the whole ensemble and ups the casual factor. Notice her color palette—and how much character the bag and hat add.
We hope you enjoy these three looks and have some fun trying them out. One of our favorite things about Frida is how often we see the same pieces popping up in her looks. She makes the most of a few key pieces and a great pair of jeans by switching out accessories and separates. You can do the same!
Stalk Frida's style on her blog.

Cole gave up a run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters over four innings in the Class A Advanced Bradenton Marauders' 2-1 loss to the Palm Beach Cardinals.
MLB.com's No. 11 prospect worked around Mike O'Neill's leadoff double in the first frame with consecutive strikeouts and an inning-ending groundout, but he was unable to replicate the feat in the second.
Jonathan Rodriguez ripped a two-bagger to center field and he advanced to third base on Alan Ahmady's ground ball. Rodriguez then scored the first run of the game on following batter Geoffrey Klein's RBI single up the middle.
In the third frame, Cole worked into and out of trouble again, fanning Starlin Rodriguez and Chris Edmonson to strand Michael Swinson in scoring position. An inning later, he needed two more strikeouts to keep Ahmady -- who doubled and advanced to third on a wild pitch -- from scoring the go-ahead run.
Cole turned things over to the bullpen in the fifth and did not factor in the decision. But catcher Nicholas Longmire spoiled Cole's debut with a walk-off homer off Jhonathan Ramos (1-1) with two outs in the ninth.
The UCLA product collected an $8 million bonus when he signed with Pittsburgh last year, but he did not make his pro debut until after the regular season had ended.
He made five starts for the Mesa Solar Sox in the prospect-heavy Arizona Fall League, going 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 16 strikeouts over 15 innings.
On Monday, Cardinals starter Anthony Ferrara allowed a run on three hits and four walks over five innings. Chase Reid (1-1) earned the win after pitching a perfect ninth.

There's plenty of talk about cutting the federal budget these days in Washington. And there's lots of fighting over the size of the federal government. But there has been relatively little discussion about the scope of Uncle Sam's activities.
Downsizing Blog
Fannie Mae: No Hope or Change
The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama has assigned his staff with the task of designing a new set of government guarantees behind the U.S. mortgage market. Although as the Post also reports the "approach could even preserve Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." That's correct. Despite their role in driving the housing bubble and the already $160 billion in taxpayer losses, President Obama appears to be considering just putting the same failed system in place. Of course, we'll be promised that it will all work better this time.
Washington Post Asks for Budget Plans
The Washington Post's editorial board issued a challenge to the president and his Republican opponents: "show us your plans" for deficit reduction. In fact, the Post says it would be "delighted" to receive plans from its readers. However, the Post isn't interested in "meaningless promises" to cut "waste, fraud, and abuse"—it wants specifics:
Voters Don't Support Corporate Welfare
Two polls of likely voters released by Rasmussen Reports today indicate that the federal government's corporate welfare programs should be prime targets for spending cuts.
Buffett Should Put Up or Shut Up
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett's latest call for the federal government to soak the rich was prominently – and rather uncritically – featured on the major networks' evening news last night. President Obama promptly jumped on Buffett's op-ed in the New York Times to bolster his argument that Washington needs to generate more revenue.
Federal Job Training Follies
It's darkly comical that the same entity responsible for killing countless private sector jobs with its taxes and regulations operates job training programs. Cato has been documenting the failures of federal job training programs for decades, but "do something" policymakers in Washington refuse to accept the reality that they're not the solution to problems that they help create.
Essay on Small Business Administration
An essay on terminating the Small Business Administration has been added to Cato's Downsizing Government website.

Charity and the Federal Government
David Boaz's post on bizarre and utterly preposterous claims that the federal government's "social safety net" has been shrinking brought to my mind James Madison's position that "Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."
Closing Post Offices
The U.S. Postal Service just posted a $3.1 billion loss for the third quarter and the outlook for the rest of the year is bleak. The USPS wants to save money by closing post offices. I recently examined this issue in an op-ed for the Daily Caller:
