Know Me
Know Me
hey there! i am part of the KnowCancer team and typically help out with any website issues. if you find something broken, or just have an idea for something you would like to see, please send me a message.
My Experience with Cancer
Like most, some of my closest family and friends have had their life paths altered by the effects of cancer. What's amazing, is that it is these people who exhibit seemingly superhuman strength in the form of perseverance and determination. Get to know them...they don't bite...except for that Brutus character ;)
More Fun Stuff
My Kinda People
I love all people, animals, gnomes, elves, fairies and even some goblins. Dogs usually freak me out (cause I'm little and all)...but hanging out with Brutus has taught me a new appreciation for snarling and drooling ;)
Reason for Being Here
Reason for being here....wow, that's a good one! I guess that remains to be seen. For now, i will do my best to help where i can! Or as we gnome say...git in where ya fit in!
Words of Wisdom
He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. -Buddha

In my opinion there should be more choices in the mood section.

the only improvement i can see needed is blogging about my blog ;), bitsofmyself.com, the only breastfeeding + cancer resource on the web! it super sucks being a nursing mom and having to start chemo. no one else is documenting that journey or helping mom's get through it, but you can watch me do it in real time via my blog. lots of pictures of what it looks like to go through chemo for hodgkin's lymphoma, breastfeeding, grenn-living and attachment parenting. i hope someone out there finds it helpful!

Hey... I'm not very good at checking my 'wall' so don't think I have been ignoring you. I just look to see if there is a notification such a new message or friend request. From now on I'll be checking my profile more often. right now it is 12 degrees celsius outside but it feels soo much colder. I'm sitting right by a fire but I can feel my hands going numb. My circulation has never been good but this is ridiculous!!! Anyway Knowme... I am grateful I have nicknamed my tumour my 'little goblin'. Gnomes are more cheerful!

I am sooo sure there is some quality American viewing fare. Unfortunately, it either costs too much to buy or our supreme tv producer beings decide is might even cause we, the Australian people, to think in ways they could not control. You might have realised I am a cynical, somewhat prone to conspiracy theories type of chick... Keep writing. I like actually having somebody to converse with on this site. Aint never done chat rooms because I want to be assured of decent people with some grey matter in their noggins...x

hey... Sia Furler was in the outer extremities of the social circles I gravitated about when I was like 16 or something. She's from my home town of Adelaide. She just played here the other week. I missed it unfortunately. I always intend to go but it never actually happens. She kicks it for sure. Mmm, not too sure about Zero. What sort of music does he play? Hip Hop? Kinda sounds like that sort of name. Australia has a lot of artists but I know Sia for sure. I saw her play on Letterman or something like that. Our television viewing here has been TOTALLY taken over by American codswallop since the free-trade agreement. I refuse to watch. Don't mean to offend but I want to remember what it is to be Australian thank you very much... Anyway, as you can see, I don't know when to shut up. Hope you are well!

I was in Key West this weekend and saw a pic of Shel with Captain Tony at the saloon. Hadn't read your profile yet, or I would have taken my camera with me. I'm a fan too.

His red hat is FAR from silly...it's very stylish in the gnome world.

You are indeed a genius and a scholar! I think one day you can be like 6 foot 9, everyday will be a Friday and you can even speed on the highway!
