I sure am glad I decided to go lurking on this site tonight. This post has been both educational as well as entertaining. All this talk about cows, sounds like a lot of bull. I just couldn't resist. I have been treating my fingernails with the tea tree oil, but I have marked my "to do list" to purchase bag balm and rejuvacoat. My nails are still splitting and I ended my Herceptin on Nov 07. My middle finger is also prone to cracking, but I have to be careful not to flash it around by itself.

Bill, Nicole has got to be smiling down on you. Not only did you enhance the quality of her life here on earth, you continue to be an "angel" to the rest of us.

Louise

Louise, thanks for your sweet words. You, and all of the beautiful warrior women on this site are so awesome. Once again, Nicola and I are laughing, not at you, sweetie, but the way some throw the "Angel" word my way. Nicola's always on my shoulder, and she just laughed out loud again. "what?", I say. "oh, just thinking of you and Angelic in the same sentence" (I know what Marlys is thinking, but that's why I have a PO box, instead of a physical address, so I can't be tracked down. And, I know when the spy satellite shoots over my house, and I run to the cupboard and throw on my tin-foil hat.) Love y'all, Bill

Oh my gosh.....maybe that's why the tooth fairy took so long to leave Ayden her "tooth tip"!!!!! I forgot to have her take off her "tin hat" after the last few pass overs!!!! Sometimes we just have to choose between little green men and tooth fairies! ma
