TEAL TALK DAY

Let’s talk. September 23 is Teal Talk Day and each year, over 249,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer worldwide. So, gather your friends, wear teal for a day out together and talk.

Join a group of coworkers for lunch. Men are welcome, also. They have mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters at risk for ovarian cancer. They should have the Teal Talk, too! Since no standard screening exists for ovarian cancer, awareness gives us our best defense. The talk takes very little time. Have a Teal Talk over lunch. In that time, approximately 28 women will receive an ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Invite your closest friends, neighbors, and sisters for drinks in the back yard. Wear your favorite teal and give the Teal Talk. Let them know early detection improves survival rates by 90%. Make sure they know the symptoms.

Persistent bloating
Lack of energy
Loss of appetite
Feeling fuller sooner.
During your Teal Talk, find more signs at Ovarcome.org.

Go for a walk with your mom and her friends. Even a short walk will be long enough for a Teal Talk. Ask them about family history and encourage them to share it with their daughters and granddaughters. Urge them to see their gynecologist to review family history for inherited risk factors. Families with a strong history of ovarian or breast cancer have a 15-40% lifetime risk when compared to the general population, according to the National Cancer Institute.

@shoelady60,

Thanks for the shout out to my nieces she worked really hard on that second Masters. 😎🎈
Hey she rewarded herself with a Cruise to the Bahamas with my other niece her cousin my
other sister’s daughter who is a certified teacher there in GA. This niece is also working on
her second Masters. 🎈😎

Hubby and I have a close cousin who is in Paris, France as I type this note. The pictures
he is sending are just beautiful. 😎🎈😘Cousin went to a wedding with friends and it looks
like all are having a great time.

The Game! I am wore out from screaming and talking to our kids and family. Lady it has
been a long day. Sweet dreams. 😘💕

The rain is pouring right now.

@oodiebom,

Well almost good morning to you. We had a late Game and we won. 🎈😎

I just want to say I hope they find your husband glasses and soon. Glasses are not
cheap.

I wish you could bring him home tomorrow with the proper help and assistance
with the house.

I will write more it has been a long day for me.

Oz is in the low 50’s and light rain all I can say is bring it on. 💕😎

Goodnight and sleep well.😘

We had another main water line break. This one is at the end of our road. Tomorrow we expect the water to shut down. How long is anybody’s guess. I have plenty of bottled water and will add if need be. Hubby is still itching. He had one day without scratching. I will be bringing Clean Boss, but not the spray. I also purchased the Wipes. I happened to use them on the guest bathroom and they worked just as good. Actually, I was impressed. I will let everything air dry. No streaks. No mess.

Still haven’t found hubby’s glasses. Tomorrow, both the new unit manager and the social worker will be told. They also, just recently, received a note. If it isn’t found, then I know it was stolen and I do have an aide in mind, but will not say a word. I don’t have proof.

Last night, the aide raised hubby’s bed and we both looked underneath. What I found was dust and dirt. No one has cleaned under there in days or months. Could this be the reason for the itches????? I do have a bug spray, and it’s a huge container that gets the job done. However, the rehab should definitely do a super cleaning of all rooms, nurse’s stations, reception area, etc. and also contact their exterminator. I’m positive that hubby isn’t the only one suffering from the itches. I will bring this up to the unit manager as well. Definitely will mention Clean Boss., though it will probably go on deaf ears. It seems they have their own disinfectant. It’s the same color as Windex. Now to get ready to see hubby. 🚕😉🌴🕶😅🍕
Gee, low 60s. I forget what that temp feels like. We are at 90 degrees with 100% humidity. September used to be a beautiful month in Florida. Just not today. What am I saying???? It’s been like this since June. Enjoy the rain. Hoping your cool front will slip more toward Florida and get rid of the monster storm that is now forming in the Gulf.

Tomorrow, no water. Time to do the pantry…….🎹🎵😉 Enjoy your evening and splashing in the puddles.

@sheba2011

Happy Fall to you. National ice cream cone and white chocolate day sounds a whole lot better than national states and capitals day, lol!🍦 The first two I can celebrate. Just finished cutting up a very ripe honeydew and it is delish, one of my favorites.

We will be getting your rain on and off tomorrow through Wednesday.🌧 We do need it. Just hope it’s showers and no storms.

Congrats to your niece, sounds like one smart woman.👩‍🎓👍 She should be holding her head high. That is a lot of school and your family should be so proud.😊

Good luck tonight, I will be rooting with you. Fall hugs to you, Poppy and the cats.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten and may this Fall Season be a good one for you. 😎🎈💕
