Glad it's just a cyst, which I actually don't know that much about, but it at least sounds (seems) less threatening than cancer.<BR/><BR/>About that other mess, life's to short to get mired in that kind of drama. TRUE friends wouldn't go talking behind your back. Maybe it's time to cut some strings.Keeping It Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896136321278702128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-65409706746714110212008-01-28T10:28:00.000+00:002008-01-28T10:28:00.000+00:00glad to hear about the cyst.

I never thought about my parents being old and infirm when I moved to the UK. Thigh exercises are agony, but necessary.<BR/><BR/>PM: In a way I'm glad I heard the news about the friends in the same week as the crisis with my mother. It has thrown things into perspective and is helping me change my outlook on many things.<BR/><BR/>DJ: I'm sure my mother would agree that it was well worth the aspirating to be told that it's just a cyst.<BR/><BR/>-ann: Nope, Frenemy isn't involved in this one. I've made the decision that I don't want to be involved in someone else's shit.<BR/><BR/>aoj: That's what my husband says. You never hear of men in these predicaments, do you?<BR/><BR/>CJ: They do live forever, just in a different form, don't they?<BR/><BR/>doglover: I've decided to just rise above it all. <BR/><BR/>Snuffy: A breast cyst is a fluid–filled, tiny sac within the breast tissue and is benign.

It's also good that it provided you the opportunity to develop contingency plans, which will make the future easier although I hope you never have to use them.<BR/><BR/>As for your friends....geez, where do you find these people? Maybe it's just because I don't have a lot of friends and the ones I do have don't know each other, but all of your friends stories just sound insane.

I did that only last week.<BR/>Re the friends - you are not obliged to be a peacemaker. Don't engage but make it clear by your non-engagement that you don't appreciate your friends slagging each other off. I wouldn't trust the info about what has been said about you either - there are too many agendas at work to make it reliable. Tell them to put their big girl knickers on and behave themselves.<BR/>And start those thigh exercises!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-15026125689995341212008-01-25T19:40:00.000+00:002008-01-25T19:40:00.000+00:00chrisb: Thank you.

Of course, I'm so perfect I'd never behave like that (ha-ha).<BR/><BR/>Vi: Actually, Frenemy isn't involved in this, and to be fair, this isn't her style. She's much more confrontational. Still, if you hear of an avalanche in Italy, it might be me blowing my top.<BR/><BR/>QV: Yeah, maybe I should. It's not my battle, after all.<BR/><BR/>Laurie: god, you're right.
