Only if it is "doctored"!1 -
Nah, biggest Alchol Accord breakers in town are the Police and the Health Department. They buy their wine in bulk through wine clubs.
There's ways around the alcohol restrictions.
I have been known to rope in visitors from down south to bulk purchase for me. Tourists are exempt from the alcohol restrictions.
Anyway......
Solved problem this afternoon. Siddled up to my friendly local bottle shop proprietor, told him I needed suitable fortified wine, sherry, muscat or a good plonk for a Christmas Cake.
Whilst muttering about being an early bird, pulled a bottle from under the counter, wrapped it in a brown paper bag and voila, Bob's your uncle.
Tempted to look for a suitable park bench on my way home!

Arghhhhh same person who asked hubby last week if I was going to survive told me today that her friend worked through her treatment, never took a day off so surely I can work...
ummmmm, she didn't have chemo plus I am a casual worker and don't actually have a job...
Must avoid this person.1 -
Better off just nodding politely as they will never understand where you are at and what it means!
Some people remind us of how shallow they are
Take care2 -
Yes @Loobylou, you must avoid them. They are not a right companion for this part of your life. They may be later but for now you must put them aside. We don't all have empathy. I have one dear dear friend who doesn't posess a great deal at all. I steered clear of her during active treatment. She didn't mean to upset or offend me, and I did not want to lose her friendship. So for the duration I think I saw her twice. Easier and healthier for us both. K xox2

When showing my mother my cancer on my finger and two smaller ones on my leg she told me I worry too much about myself. What the?0

Oh dear @Brenda5 - that’s a shocker. Are you sure she isn’t in early dementia? They can say and do inappropriate things, seriously! I’d been wondering about Keith for 5 years+ before it was finally confirmed by diagnosis.
Vent all you like here, we’ve got your back covered xxxx

I am starting to learn how lonely this road really is.
Hubby can’t drive me to and from my port insertion; he’s just started a new job and arranged Tuesday off specifically to take
me to chemo. I don’t want him to make a bad impression and rearrange the schedule so soon. So I beg my oldest friends last night only to be met with lots of excuses. Wow, just wow. I mean I’ve heard some doozies like everyone else above but from people who are offering to help, so when you actually ask there’s nothing?

Hi there @youngdogmum...chin up sweetie pie. One positive thing from this shitfest, called the "journey"..(.shudder, how I hate that term), is that it sorts the wheat from the chaff. These offers such as "Pleeeeease, if there's aaaaanything I can do, just let me know", fall into the same category as "How lovely to see you, you must come around for dinner one day".....Yeah right...like you're going to ring up and say "Ohh hi there, it's me, I was thinking maybe Friday next week....for the dinner???" Bah...about as genuine as a cubic zirconia ring....looks kinda real, sparkles nicely...and worth shit. I wish I could send my golden carriage to take you, but unfortunately, it has turned into a pumpkin and we made friiters out of it and ate it. But seriously, I wish I could take you, but I can share this. I had my port put in in October 2016...still have it....under local anaesthetic (long story). I then had my first chemo using it about two hours later. It really wasn't that painful, just very uncomfortable and scary as I was awake. Apart from two very small scars. one on upper chest and one on my neck, it is hardly noticeable to others. Big (((hug)))...Ally.4
