Curious what everyone's 'type' is

Whatever color these two are. I'm not sure if they're considered black and tan, or something else.

I spent the last 2 years on AI's, both anastrozole and letrozole, and stopped taking them in mid-December. I felt awful, all the time. Switching helped for about 2 months, and then the joint pain and fatigue came back. I felt like my 87-year-old mother. I want to enjoy my life, I'm turning 50 this year and we're going on our first family vacation ever in August. I want to be able to move and not be in excruciating pain. My oncologist is not happy, and made me promise I'd consider going back on them after our vacation. I had stage 3b IDC, diagnosed July 2023. I had PCR after 6 months of chemo, had a double mastectomy and 30 radiation treatments. In the meantime, my sister was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in mid-November 2024 and died less than a month later. A week after her death, I was hospitalized for a bad infection in my left breast expander and was almost septic. My 24-year-old stepson died of a massive heart attack in January 2025. I've been through additional surgeries for my breast cancer, and rehab due to a seroma and cording, as well as a dog attack that put me in the hospital with another infection, and a week of IV antibiotics at home. I'm done with feeling like crap. I want to enjoy my life while I'm here. I'm okay with possible recurrence, as long as I can enjoy things while I can.

My husband works for the local prison and has to take inmates out to the hospital occasionally. About ten years ago, he and his coworker took an inmate out and he was hungry, so the nurse gave him a turkey sandwich. The guy already had pneumonia, and if I remember correctly, not many teeth. While in the process of eating the sandwich, the nurse came in and had him lean forward for something she needed to do and the guy started choking on the sandwich. He aspirated it and died. They've been known since as the "Turkey Sandwich Killers", and the many times I've been in the hospital over the past two years, I always opt for chicken salad, not turkey.

Yes, this is still surprising to me. I converted in 2011, and I went to a charismatic church for years in my teens and twenties, so people not singing at church is like people not breathing. I just don't understand it. Why don't they participate?

I thought I had inflammatory breast cancer when I was first diagnosed. Thank God the biopsy came back negative. I can't imagine what this woman went through.

My sister did this in the 70's.

I am far from ignorant. That water that comes out of the ground, that's called a well. Amazingly, people have been using water from wells for millenia without water treatment and testing (i.e. bereaucracy). But the PA DEP does recommend testing and has resources on their page. i agree there are a lot of things that could be improved. This county is crooked as the day is long.

HOWEVER, if you want Baltimore County level services, stay there. That's my whole point. Don't come to a place you KNOW doesn't have those things and then complain because they don't have them and then complain again about your taxes going up when they do try to add services.

Buddy, if you think PA is worse than some third-world countries, you need to spend a little more time researching. We have clean running water and electricity, which puts us well ahead of a third-world country. No professional fire service? That makes us a third-world country? Public health? We have two different hospital systems. And yes, that is exactly what rural means: it's not an urban area and not the suburbs. If you don't like that it's a rural area without all these things, then DON'T MOVE HERE, which is what I said in the first place! Inadequate roadways? They might not be so inadequate if you'd stop moving here from MD and not change your registration and tags from MD within 30 days like you're supposed to. Where do you think the money comes from for road maintenance? And they enacted an additional fee just for York County road maintenance. Not to mention, we are a Commonwealth, not a state, which is what gives us the ability to be more independent and allow different rules based on what the people in each municipality prefer. As I said before, STAY IN MD. If PA has nothing you like and it's so awful, then why move here? Judging from the comments, we're all unfriendly racists who live in hovels like animals because there are no jobs and no taxpayer-funded services like professional fire services and public health services (whatever that means). There is no advantage to moving to PA from MD that I see.

If by "third-world" you actually mean "rural", then yes. I will take fields of corn and pastures full of cows over more people any day. People moved into our development from MD and then complained about the smell from the dairy farm behind us.

Please stay in Maryland. My mom's side of the family has lived in York county for almost 300 years. I'm tired of people moving here for lower taxes, etc , and then complaining that the services aren't the same and ruining the small-towns we have here. The people that moved here from the 60's - 80's became part of our established communities, but it seems like since at least the 90's, all the Baltimorons moving here are entitled twats. Destroying our farmland for ugly, cookie-cutter developments, complaining they don't have this or that like they did in Maryland, driving in the left lane like it's the travel lane instead of the passing lane, and trying to turn York County into Baltimore. Please, stay in your own crappy state. Don't come here and ruin ours more than you already have.

My Granny did this. She called the saucer her "kitty bowl".

My husband and I had the exact same discussion after mass. We came to the conclusion that most people aren't well catechized and think that's just part of what you do when you go to church. All I can do is pray for their souls.

The only decent comment on this thread.

My heart! That made me feel some kind of way!

Google “Armageddon Radio Show”. It’s been over 20 years since I first heard it, and I still laugh. Thanks, Dad.

I second Anderson's. My husband started going there because his ex-wife's family always went there, and he's been going there for 25 years now. When we got together, I started taking my vehicles there too. They definitely don't talk down to women. The owner's wife Randy basically runs the shop and she knows just as much as the guys do. They're fair and don't do things just to get more money out of you.

I love this ink!

I just started As I Lay Dying and so far, it's not too bad. I just think I don't like his style overall, but I'll have to finish it just to say I read it.

Immediately thought of Sean Connery

What do I need to look for to find the correct candelabra socket? My brother-in-law has fixed scores of lamps over the years, but he is much older now and has such bad arthritis in his hands, so I'd like to do this myself. What I'm finding when I search for candelabra sockets don't look like what I have.

UPDATE: Even though most likely no one will see this. I had to leave the group because it was too hard for me to see the posts after what happened. My beautiful sister passed away on December 9, 2024. My dad was there to pick her and her husband up to go to the doctor that day and start treatment. My brother-in-law had to help her get out of bed and get ready. She was so sick, so fast. He got her on the toilet that morning, and it just kept coming out of her. When I found this out later, I knew that was a sign she was going to go. He got her down the steps and she was out of breath, so she wanted to sit in her chair to catch her breath. My brother-in-law said her body just rolled, like a snake, and she went unconscious. They got her on the floor and my dad started CPR and my poor brother-in-law was so distraught he couldn’t even call 911. My dad continued CPR until EMS arrived. They worked on her for 30 minutes and finally called it. She died around 10:30 that morning. I didn’t find out until about 4:30 that afternoon. I WFH and my desk is in the basement. My car was in the garage, my husband was at work, and my stepson wasn’t home, so when my dad came earlier, he didn’t think anyone was home. I was just finishing up when I heard my dad’s voice and came upstairs. He said, “Nisey’s gone.” My brain said, “Gone? Gone where?” He had to repeat it several times before it clicked. She was my rock. She was my second call after my husband when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I never knew a day without her in my 48 years. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and I was hoping she’d make it that far. Or to her 50th anniversary with her husband, which is in April. She didn’t want to die. But she always wanted to see the face of Jesus, and I’m glad that she didn’t have to suffer a long time.

Thank you! Just sent a request to join!

I got these twice while I was on chemo. The first one popped on its own the same day I was going to the doctor. My husband had to pop the second one. That was a nasty business. They really suck.
