RESPONSE TO LAS VEGAS
Thank you so much for the response shown below. I have received about three comments so far, and so far they have been exceedingly nice, which surprises me. I was beginning to think people did not have much time to communicate with someone who is dying, and you've brought me some hope. And thank you for the contribution to my Wish List. Don't laugh ... but when my Wish List fund gets large enough, I'm going to order a box of diapers for my grandson. Every little bit helps. And it is greatly appreciated. You asked how to reach out. I would ask that you just write to me. Write about your mundane day compared to mine (really, we can both laugh and cry), comment on my blog, ask others to read and comment on my blog ... that's all. Just knowing people out there are willing to listen and respond helps so much. And hey, maybe we can meet for coffee one day. I have a Starbucks gift card *grin* from a friend who knows how much I love specialty teas. Funny things ... I never smoked a day in my life, not one cigarette and not a puff of pot. Sometimes now I wish I could go back and at least give them a try *LOL*. I never was a coffee drinker and never got into the energy drinks (although I should probably try both. My cancer doctor told me to drink more coffee to help with energy levels - I wonder whether he was sincere or joking about it). I never did recreational drugs. In fact I can hardly do prescription drugs due to my excessive poor reactions to them. I have Meniere's Disease which caused my inner ear to over-react to medications. Anything with uppers or caffiene in it makes me shake and get bitchy and not sleep, anything with downers in it like Xanax or allergy medicine, etc. knocks me out for hours, and anything with pain killers makes me puke for hours. I was such a goody two shoes while growing up, heavy into church, the good mother raising her children to be good, that I never experienced very much until way late in my life. At that time I joined a risque social group and saw a bit more of life, but I left that behind about five years ago. I feel like I missed a lot in life, but if I had to trade my children to get a better one, I would not go back and change anything. I love my children. I'm glad I had them. I would not trade the cancer for them. I'll get by with a little help from my friends. I'll claim you on that list now.

Dear Lady, we have so much in common - we both live in Las Vegas, we are in the same age bracket - and yet we are worlds apart. My heart is full of wishes for you and your blog touched me deeply. So much of life is mundane, I know, and how sad to waste the precious moments paying bills, making doctors' appts, etc. I couldn't figure out how to become a follower but I would like to contribute $5.00 to your wish fund. I would give more but I've been out of work for almost three years ... I would like to reach out, back to you. Please let me know how to do that. You can reach me at craigslistfaninlv@gmail.com. Jen
