One Lump or Two - Hello. If you are new to this blog, please read "Damned If You Do". This is where both my blogging and my breast cancer stories started. After that, my posts start with the most recent immediately below on the left. Happy reading.

  • https://olot1.wordpress.com/damned-if-you-do/ Damned if You Do « One Lump or Two - You go for your 3-yearly mammogram reluctantly, because it’s uncomfortable. But the leaflet that came with your invitation seems written to be reassuring, and you go in the same spirit with which you go to dental check-ups. You think it’s the responsible thing to do. You feel fine and have not detected anything unusual. Maybe,…

The show is now going to London, and I will be interested to see what the reviewers make of it there. There was something pleasingly “meta” about it: the writer did…

Read on -- This Autumn - a full two years and more since breast cancer treatment - has been assessment time for me. For the last six weeks or so, I have been off both my injections and my pills in order that my natural hormonal status can be checked. Having had the…

However, there seems to be a growing recognition that a woman's choice…

  • Live_Once - case defect after 40 days

    The rubber around the case started to peeled off after a month. I called speck company. They ask me to send in the case for them to inspect it. If it's manufacture defect then they'll send me a new one. Tooo much of a hassle for a phone case. I have to paid for shipping. I think it's not worth it. just not by Speck again.

  • Jeremy Krall - Finally got tired of the problems and removed it

    I was excited when I heard about this thermostat. I pre-ordered it directly from Nest. I even e-mailed them a couple of times checking on availability when I started hearing about it being at Best Buy. I have been using a programmable thermostat for years and thought this would be the next step.

  • Juanita - Five Stars

    REALLY GREAT GUIDE!! This is a very easy and quick read to learn how to begin mediation and the benefits of starting a mediation practice. This is my first time reading a book on meditation & read it so quickly be I couldn't put it down. It gave me so much useful information on how to begin the process of becoming a successful at releasing my stress and anxiety. I highly recommend this if you are even considering meditation. Thanks

  • Amazon Customer - Danger....

    Like another reviewer (who gave this software 5 stars), I've used several versions of Acronis over the years. Why? I suppose because there is little choice when surveying the options for such a combination of utilities. I've almost always been disappointed. Acronis makes a very powerful set of drivers and installs them so that they are very difficult to remove. You are very lucky if the software performs its task for you; just plain lucky if it doesn't work but also doesn't screw up your system in some fashion; and at par if it doesn't work, makes your system hang or crash, and cannot be removed.

    I am SOOOO glad I have Amazon Prime. The cost of shipping this 189.2 pound behemoth otherwise might have made it cost prohibitive for me.
