All about me

I miss everyone! Really! I have been so busy, and have had such a hard time getting on. A lesser person would have given up, but hey, I'm driven to keep in touch with you all.
Susan400: I cried when I read your post. I was so amazed at the way you dealt with the devastating news. You are something else. You have my utmost respect .  I tried to respond, and found out I had to have my password. What's with that?? It was my first hint that the forum had changed, AGAIN!
OrphanHawk: I can't believe that in two (count them 1-2) days you will be finished punching holes in your arms. I'm so happy that the journey is soon to be  over for you. I know you will continue to be UND and SVR. You are so special to me, you have no idea. I use to get my feelings hurt because I didn't think you liked me! And here you were dealing with cirrhosis! (look at my subject title!)
Child: Thank goodness you check up on me regularly! I could be dead in a hotel room and you would be the only one asking "where's Bug?" Thank you dear friend!
DebNevada: Are you OK? I loved seeing your picture! You are so brave! It's hard enough having hep c, being over 30 and then going beyond anonymous! Good for you! I noticed that suddenly we saw many more "real" photos as we crept out of the woodwork to show our faces. I just don't have the mental or physical capacity to figure out how to post my mug.
LadyWhy: You have a busy life. We need your levity and gravity here. Hope you haven't been scared off.
Myown: Lucy! Ethel isn't the same w/o you!
Forsee: I forsee you in a trial, and with the help of your friends becoming und very quickly. You will go on to star in a movie about Hep C and holistic medicine as it pertains to menopause. (I read palms and see the future in my crystal ball, when I'm not riding around on my broomstick)
Jm/Goof/Shastri/fullof Esperanza/Mike/Bill: My only male friends here. Where are the pictures?? I will post one with my armpits if I can see yours first and laugh.
I know I missed many many special people, but seriously, I miss you all. Oh yeah, Meki--you are too funny and smart too! I'm impressed as you came on out of nowhere (literally! Alaska?!?) and have been such a positive force here.
I am busy working--I feel great--being with my grandbaby, planning a shower for my nephews fiance', and getting the baby boy ready for college next month.
My 4th and last to put thru college! All that I want in return is for them to support me in my old age, and change my depends twice a day! They have tentatively agreed, but are all arguing about who has to change the diapers. That's the thanks I get!
Well. gotta go to bed.
Love you all!
Hugs,
Bug

Grandma; I wondered where you were and how you were faring in the heat. Glad to see your post and know you're staying cool. I watch the fog roll in every evening and awaken early just to see it underlit with pinks at sunrise. Then I fall back to sleep.   Stay well, you're almost there!
rosebud: The redtail hawks are fairly common. I'm on the other side of the state. They  tagged some hawks near the Golden Gate Bridge who've been found as far away as Mexico. If you make it up to the bay area, let me know, maybe we can do lunch or go to the zoo, to see the birds. There was just a quite a bit of hoopla over the shootings of two coyotes in Golden Gate Park. Wildlife is everywhere, even in virus'.  ( now we need the Twilight Zone theme music).  Stay healthy.
LB: I'm backkk. I am so hap-hap-happy to be feeling like myself. I missed me. My body isn't back all the way yet, of course, but I feel so much better.
    Big blue sky arms wrapping you in cool whispy breeze hugs,           OH

Actually 3 buds--as in buddies! Happy to see you all respond. I hope I hear from you Rose re: your great news on the latest pcr. I'm actually getting sad about the youngest leaving. When you visit your daughter in Tx come visit me!
Pigeon: I was quoted about alcohol and HCV. I don't really believe everything I read or post. I think a wine connoisseur  such as yourself has nothing to worry about re: re-aquiring hep c.
GrandmaA: I'm so glad you're living the good life you deserve. Vinyl windows, sliding glass door, and retirement! I know you stay busy, it's wonderful that you only have 5 1/2 weeks left. I can't wait till summer is over as you will be feeling better and svr. You have been a rock for many, as you are so grounded.
Hugs to all,
Bug

really miss my forum friends and wish i could be online more often i have been busy, temping for now, really love it. long drive to work was thinking of you bug and fight sleepiness when driving - home.  

i did get a test results should be in i will try to pick up results tomorrow KP doesn't post HCV online. so i will start a thread soon with my results.  huge congratulations on your recent test. that must be such a relief.  i feel pretty confident that it is resolved with me also.

yes daughter settled, we miss her so much. there will be a wedding (here) in March (my youngest daughter).  they will all soon be gone and then empty nest for me.  speaking of nests. this is for OH if you are around.  i was coming out of temp assignment, near LA area. and heard this strange bird noise, me being curious about such things took the time to locate in the stand of trees near the city -i think it was a youngster like your picture. orphanhawk.  i really enjoy the opportunity to see the unusual in nature.

i see everyone has been so creative putting pics of self (if courageous), humorous or what,  i haven't had time thinking of what i would put when i do.

I have so little time to read posts and say hi lately when i do appear i read one or two respond and i am off..

how is pigeonca, snowbyrd, wyntre, grandmaA, forseegood, fl guy, jmjm (how are you feeling these days.  stangeshelly hang in there.. oh i really do miss you all so much...so many i think of... did i recently see Ameriboi posting under a different handle?  he is the one that writes in christ rick (right?).... well when i post my labs in a few days i want any who would want to drop me a line... would love to hear from any...

What a nice post above. I haven't been on the forum much. I go up and down between taking a nap, sometimes being sick, cleaning and getting errands down. I have so many doctors I think I should put up my tent in their waiting room. But Fri. I will only have 5 1/2 weeks left. Getting down to the wire! YIPPEE! My new vinyl windows are so nice. It will never be hotter than 80 degrees in here now. And the sliding glass door on the street (my bedroom) is sound proof. No more boom boxes waking me up.

I've been retired almost 2 months now and I can barely wake by 7. I go to bed early. I used to wake up at 5. This is so much better. Hope everyone achieves SVR.
