BUTTON: “To err is human, to ARRR! is pirate.” 😁

Gail, you may kvetch about chemo to any of us, any time, for reasons profound or trivial. We will give you 💚💚💚 and {*{*{*hugs*}*}*} and variations thereof because that is what we do, and why we are here. 😊

Also: Deb reminded me to tell you that we gave away all the Shared Kindness envelopes we brought along on the Alaska cruise, to drivers, guides, servers, concierges, and Dede & Holis, the guys who took care of our stateroom. Thank you! Your envelopes made things special(er)!

Huh, is complaining about something showing disrespect or disinterest? I feel in this context your decision makes absolute sense; and, also I don't think I've actually heard you complain so much as delineate or describe. Is acknowledging the negative that comes with a conscious decision actively unhealthy, passive unhealthy, unrelated, or ??? Does it depend on context or is it absolute or about frame of mind or ??? Interesting food for thought.

I agree with many of the people here: you can whine, talk, complain, explain about chemo as much as you want. Actually, you haven't even started to whine yet. Why aren't you whining, Gail? It would make you more human!! ;-P

It is there and a big part of you life now; why should you hide it?

Lots of love from this side of the ocean!!

You are such a boss Gail! Even though you are incapable of whining - describing is not whining. I’d be v interested in what you think of Summerhill when you’ve finished the book? Also I love that second quote from Rumi, I may steal... 😇

If someone were to ask me if I have a real life superhero, I would actually say I have two. I have more than that, but I would just say I have two, at least two women anyway… One of them goes by the handle, Typist. The other one is a friend of Typist’s and her name is Billie.

Both are heroes in their own regard, but since I’m talking about women, I guess I should actually be saying, heroines… 🤔

I want to come to Wisconsin and climb the trees and hang upside down with Talia. I love how you incorporated the flowers into your drawing. Once again, you have inspired me to explore something new and appreciate the beauty around me.

I'm hard pressed to say more than "Hurrah!" Oh, and I'll trade you two lotus blossums for one windflower blossom. I drive a hard bargain.
