jeepstergirl I agree. This is exactly the same advice that I was going to give. Talk to the teacher and the boy, and help him understand why he was in trouble, if it was something wrong.

Planning your own Funeral

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 14 Mar 07

How old are you? I'm 31, with breast cancer. Recently, I've been considering planning my funeral, because I'd read about a friend in a similar situation whom had decided to plan hers out. I think it's a great idea. Generally, this...

"Green" funerals

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 14 Mar 07

I was reading a friend's blog, where she had mentioned that she was doing some research into "green funerals." What do you know about this? What are your opinions? I'm interested in learning more.

jeepstergirl Well, what I have read so far is that it would take place in someplace natural like a forest, instead of a cemetary. The person is not embalmed. The body is either wrapped in a biodegradable material, or placed into either a thin wooden or cardboard box for...

After chemo, I'll be taking tamoxifen for 5 years.

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 28 Dec 06

Anyone know what this does to your body? I know it's supposed to put me into early menopause, but what else? Thanks!

jeepstergirl Probably not for another year or so. I have 6 months of chemo, and will be still having IV's full of drugs for a few more months. So, it's going to be a while. I'm going to try to find that book. Thanks so much!!!

jeepstergirl Yeah, me too. I'm having chemo on the 13th. Knowing my husband, he'll celebrate the weekend before, though. He's a romantic, that's for sure!

With some of my chemo treatments coming up....

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 25 Jan 07

I'm sure that I'll be spending a bit of time either in bed, or attached to an IV at the oncologists office. Any helpful hints on keeping myself entertained? I love to read, but that even bores me after a while. I am not crafty, so...

jeepstergirl If you don't mind my asking, why didn't you have a port put in? They had me get one so that it wouldn't ruin my veins. I was in a little pain for a couple of days after it was put in, but it's so much easier to deal with! I am surprised that they didn't have...

Any ideas on how to keep my cat off my kitchen table and counters?

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 25 Jan 07

He just walks wherever and whenever he wants. He is definately spoiled, but being the center of attention gets really old when I'm trying to cook dinner and he just tries to walk up and sniff what is sitting on the counter! He's...

jeepstergirl This is an excellent suggestion, and I have used water bottles to train cats before... but here's the problem. My cat doesn't mind water! He actually will sleep in the bathroom sink, and plays with bubbles when I take a bath. he's very unusual! lol.

jeepstergirl It takes place in the 1100's and is about a little girl who dresses as a boy to become King Richard's page in order to get her family's land back after it was raided and she was the only survivor. It's pretty interesting.

What kind of computer do you have?

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 5 Jan 07

Laptop or desktop? Brand name? What do you like about it? What do you dislike? What will you change when you upgrade?

jeepstergirl Yeah, I have a desktop right now, and was thinking of doing the same, for the same reasons.

Started my very first chemo session yesterday.

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 24 Jan 07

I was very nervous, to say the least, but I came out of it with flying colors. I'm told that they have so many anti-nausea medications and so on, that it's not as bad as it used to be. Of course, I was also told that the first is...

Small talk.... are you any good at it?

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 24 Jan 07

I am terrible at having small talk with people that I don't know very well. How do you handle the situation. Any pointers? I know some people are very good at that sort of thing.

jeepstergirl Yup! That's me!!! I have the exact problem. I'm used to just saying what I mean, and so the rest is minor, and so I feel like an idiot talking about the silly stuff. It's probably just me, though. lol.

Would you be worried about losing your hair?

jeepstergirl @jeepstergirl (396) • United States 28 Dec 06

I start chemo soon, and have been thinking about this whole losing my hair thing. Most people don't think about it, but they do mean ALL of your hair, including your eyelashes and eyebrows, "down there," legs, armpits, and so on....

jeepstergirl Thank you so much for your input! It's interesting to finally hear from someone MY AGE with breast cancer. Sounds like yours has become much more advanced than mine has, though. I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you the best with your chemo this time around!
