wow hurley!  that's crazy stuff!  i sure hope it turns out to be nothing!   i'll say a prayer for you and your test results.  i had issues with lumps on my ovaries and we kept an eye on them for the better part of a year.  one would show up and then the next time it would be gone and there would be another one on the other ovary.  back and forth until finally i was done.  i said "enough of this....if it explodes, then it's on me but i'm tired of this and i'm not doing it anymore".  i was soooo tired of the ultrasounds!   i just figured it was a stubborn radical egg trying to get out!  was probably dyl's twin!  lol!  anyhow, i'll be thinking about you! 

iris, glad you get to skype with hayley soon!  definitely keep us in the loop on the romance!  such an exciting time for kids!  keep kicking arse in your derby girl! 

Donna, i hope you hear from amanda gets to call soon but you're right.  they don't say too much in the emails....like they're afraid that they might give some big secret away..... ugh!  just not enough info for us moms! 

aj, always glad to hear your words of wisdom and i'm sure nicole is too.  i have to say the same...two is plenty.  I've found out that kids don't really listen....they just do and think about it later.  i know this because we've all been there at one time or another.  so, about this chi thing.  i've been wondering all these years where my chi has been going and i'll be darned...it's been leaking out my pierced ears!  lol!  just a little humor there....

mary, dyl's told me about the place he can keep the car while he's gone so i'm sure he's done his homework. i'm sure he knew i would be asking...ha!  when dereck got his insurance, was he able to keep it under yours?   if dyl's gets it on his own, he'll lose the multi car discount we all get, etc...   yeah, must have been something they fed my boy at BC to make him want wheels when he'll be at sea more than on land.  go figure!

dyl's anniversay was yesterday, the 13th..... wow!  so glad it's behind me.  i went to my mom's last night and we reminisced about it....had my mom and myself in tears all over again....geeez!   that was a very painful day! 

 i still remember racing to the computer everyday around that time to commiserate with all my n4m's buddies.   just want to say to all of you that i couldn't have made it without your prayers, laughter, and words of encouragement.  It truly made the unbearable, bearable!   You're an awesome group and i can't imagine not having this site to come to..... even today!    

Thank you ladies for everything!!   Happy Aniversary and RSL always!!

Hurley- One of the reasons I needed to know his name. That would have been pretty funny.

Hope all your tests turn out ok. Sounds like you have been through a lot. So scary just suspecting and having to wait for all test results. Will keep you in my prayers.
Comment by AJ on July 14, 2011 at 7:04pm

Hurley .... girl ..... what a lot you are dealing with ..... wish I could just sit there with you with a cup of tea (or a stiff drink) and wait with you for the call tomorrow and the camera capsule results ... and whatever else the 'more' is.  This must be overwhelming to all be happening at once .... and yet, I hear your strength in between the being tired of it all.  98 pounds .... that's not a lot .... but when I think about your past two months, you've been so on the go, maybe and hopefully, that contributed to the weight loss.  All fingers and toes crossed here that your results are clean and perfect .... and that you will find some respite in ruling out the bad stuff.  Thanks for letting us know what you are up against just now .... I sooo want to be here for you .... you are always here for us.  Sending you armfuls of hugs without squeezing too hard on that sore boob .... and sending you mega doses of "Infinite Love and Gratitude", which words have a very high vibrational frequency to heal.  I studied for two years a therapy called The Lifeline Technique with a doctor in Chicago ..... good stuff.  I know you will keep us posted and know that you are also in my prayers.  You guys are like sisters now.

 

I took some pictures in P just for you Hurley ..... will get around to picking up that story hopefully tomorrow.  Anyway, I'm sure you saw everything in your airline days, but I have some crazy pictures for you.

Iris, I love that you are doing the derby thing. Love the pictures! Are you now competing? It's so great to have such wonderful friends like that. Nothing like girl power! Happy Haley is doing well. Hopefully Fred pans out.

Aw, mrs B. I bet it was hard for you when you were pregnant and dealing with Paul and BC. Seems like we here are watching little TJ grow up before our eyes! He's so cute , God bless.

So Donna, I guess Amanda needs this guy to cook for her. Didn't you say he's a cook? Hehe, they must eat pretty bad then. She seems happy so that's what's important. When will you get to see her? Will they be back soon?

Yay AJ, you are company free! What a wirl wind! Wish I had half your energy and courage. Oh, I Also had my belly pierced 13 years ago. Took it out for all these trigram tests but now I don't think I will put it in. I didn't now about the negative chi. Mine is gold, does that help? Can't wait until A is home or at least phonetic for you.

Ok, RLS
Comment by hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on July 14, 2011 at 6:44pm
Wow Nichole! I love love love that dress! You are going to love absolutely stunning! Can't believe you are in single digits! Yay!

Hehe, Mary, you made me laugh! So when the he'll did you grow balls to sweat off!? Love that. Yeah, guys and their car or trucks. First thing Marc did out of BC was buy a new truck. I mean, he could have bought one before but it's like they put something in their scramble eggs at BC... Go out and buy transportation....go out and buy Transportation.... My husband loved the AF, good for Morgan knowing what she wants in life.

Yay shelly! d is on us soil! He's picking up tigers? Um ok, I know they use crazy stuff but tigers? Can't wait to hear all the stories! Can't wait till you see him again! It would have been crazy if Ds friend was donnas amanda s BF.

Happy Navy BC Anniversary! Matt left today too. Went to Miami with my hubby and son Marc to see Matt do his last swear in and they were so nice, they let him sit with us until they loaded ( like cattle) into the bus. Same when Marc left for BC. We left early but his wife Ashley stayed until Marc got in the van. Notice the navy used a bus, the CG used a van.

Thanks everyone for the concern. Right now I'm sitting here with an ice pack on my boob. Most of you can relate to this. Yup, just had a biopsy. Last one they didn't use a marker since I'm allergic to metals. This one s a bit more concerning so the dr wanted the marker. So funny cause I'm dealing with other health issues( another whole story) and just went for my yearly Mammo and then this. Didn't even feel it so I guess it's good they saw it but I don't think it's anything. They will call me tomorrow. Any way spent the morning in the Gyn, had to have a trans vag ultra sound because a cT ( yes, from something else going on!) showed I had something with my poor little old ovaries ( hyst. When I was young after my last kid but still had ovaries because I was young) so I am also waiting to get the camara capsule from my gastro dr. ( ok, another problem,) to make sure I don't have crohns. I lost 5 lbs in 2 months, which is great for most but not me. I am now down to 98 lbs. I'm sick of telling everyone I eat! My hubby can vouch for me. There's more but I just get so tired of it. Seriously, I am actually tired of it. But I count my blessings. I can never complain, my life is good, like I always say, it could always be worse!
Comment by AJ on July 14, 2011 at 6:14pm
I probably should have kept my mouth shut!  Here you were, feeling all independent, free, and motivated (and didn't need parental consent) ...... and then there is this Navy Mom handing out advice about what you should or shouldn't do with your own body!  I'm sure they look cute and you should feel free to express yourself any way you wish!  Hugs to you and your belly!
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 14, 2011 at 6:03pm

haha, they don't hurt me. at all. i've had one for over a year now, and just decided to go get my 2nd one, now i want four. i like piercings alooot. and i like them when they're hidden. i'd never go and pierce my face or anything, maybe a tiny nose stud, but nothing else, and piercings can always be taken out and closed up, unlike tattoos. haha, my energy is messed up anyways AJ:P

i appreciate it, but i figured, what the heck- i join up in a year(less to join, about a year to leave) then ill take them out. (:

Comment by AJ on July 14, 2011 at 5:44pm

Nicole .... stop at 2 for your belly!  Those hurt like heck to get pierced.  Two can look just as cool and cute as 4.  I pierced my belly button about 12 years ago .... (I drank 2 or 3 martinis beforehand to handle the pain) .... and it still hurt .... and it takes a while to heal ..... finally gave that piercing up last year.  Side note:  and you will giggle and probably dismiss, but body piercings mess with your body's energy flow (chi) ..... I had multiple body and energy workers go 'tsk tsk' when they saw my belly button pierced .................. I know, I know, this is unsolicited advice (the worst kind) ..... but I would say the same to a daughter or niece ....... 

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 14, 2011 at 5:26pm

My ex had left the 20th, but still, a year for pretty much everyone!

i've got a modeling class here shortly, so it won't be an extensive post.

i got another piercing today, i foundout that in IOWA you only have to be 16 and dont need parental consent:P

my addiction to piercings had returned! i got a double belly ring. i had already had my top piercing(the usual belly piercing) and today i got the bottom done. once these heal i think im doing the 2 sides then im done(: hahaha
