Working at the post office, I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So when one irate customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice,"What's the trouble?"
"I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package but no one was home. I'll have you know, my husband was in all morning! He never heard a thing!"
After apologizing, I got her parcel.
"Oh good!" she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages!"
"What is it?" I asked.
"My husband's new hearing aid."

Mornin,

Mick, I don't know how I missed it, so sorry about Amy and her partner calling it quits. That is a big deal, went through a break up with my daughter as an adult and it took time for her to recover and move on, but it was so worth it for her. We are having some weird warm weather today and I am going to enjoy every bit of it, so much easier on me.

Det, keep on posting, we are here for you, meetings are free, are they something you would consider? Isolation is the worst, don't want you to be alone. Do whatever it takes to claim your freedom and health back. :hug:

Sunflower, appreciated your post, full of lots of good things.

TT, great to her from you.

Porquoi, quitting smoking is the best, over a year now and I love how I feel, I wonder how much money I save? It just got to the point of not being able to breathe or take a deep breath and I was done. Chantix has worked for a friend of mine, go for it.

Hello to Sam, Pie, and all to come.

Have a great Saturday.

[porqoui]

MAE ALL...

Mick...doing much better, actually got a decent sleep last night. Not sure what this lot was all about. Felt funny over the weekend and after showing up at work Monday knew I had to go home. Slept most of Monday and Tuesday which probably screwed up my sleep for the rest of the week. Does sound like Amy has her head screwed on right. If it's meant to be it will happen one day. Sounds like you're going to be buy on your holis.

Snoop...thanks for the support. Same here, can't take a deep breath.

Lav...thanks, actually have some energy this morning. Good thing as I'm meeting with my SIL for coffee this morning.

SF...great post, I got a lot out of it. Thanks for the Chantix encouragement that made me feel more determined then ever.

Det...I'll check back later to see if you honored your pledge. :hug:

Must put myself together before I head out. Need to leave early as it could be a challenge getting out of my parking lot. Two feet of snow has melted into mounds of slush! Have a Super Saturday all.....:smile:PPQP

MAE All,

Mick, your Orlando plan sounds like a winner. I have fully enjoyed every trip to Disney as a kid, and as an adult. Will look forward to hearing your take. Dad's really not capable of using touch features on the phone. He just doesn't have adequate control of his hands/fingers. Pretty much saw this coming, but he insisted upon having the same type of phone that he sees others using. Canine work is about to pick up with 4 pups coming here to stay next week.

PQ - Yes, I think breathing difficulties would get my attention as well. Maybe it will work like alcohol in terms of deciding that you just don't want cigs in your life anymore. I'll be pulling for you in any event.

Pauly, you have no idea how much respect I have for you in never giving up. Proud to call you, friend. :thumbsup:

Det, if we could wrap up what you need in a box, and FedEx it to you, we sure would. :hug:



SF, such a brilliant post yesterday. I keep re-reading and admire your ability to speak so plainly and powerfully. Thank you!

[Mick]

Pauly, you have no idea how much respect I have for you in never giving up. Proud to call you, friend.


that goes for me too..and probably everyone else here too

[treetops]

Hear hear Mick. That's what we are about, supporting our mates Pauly and Det.
So glad I never had the smoking addiction when I read here. But I know many who have quit after a lifetime of the filthy habit.

[porqoui]

Thanks Pi...

Pauly...I concur with everyone else.

Det...you know the same goes for you.

Ttops...at least that's one issue you didn't have to deal with.

Wow...my energy has returned 10 fold. Great visit with my SIL and I'm raring to go. This house won't know what hit it! LOL

[treetops]

Glad you gave your mojo back PQ

[NoraC]

Hi folks - has anyone heard from Pauly today? lease:

[Determinator]

Greetings ABers near and far,

my goodness, thanks one and all for the great stuff. Been busy on 'self work' which is grand. I normally intend to do it but put it off.
It's definitely 'go' time for everything that can help.

Getting out of the house today to see a doctor friend who knows about my struggles and we'll chat about options.

Mick, things with Dx are very bad and seem over but who knows what a good bit of time in the healthy department can do for us?
Only good things I'm sure. My work can't afford to be without me in rehab so some intensive outpatient thing is in order.

Lav, you need a wheelbarrow for your dog it sounds.

Ok, loves, off to saute' some veggies.

be well

[porqoui]

Doesn't look like she's posted anywhere since yesterday. Maybe someone got a pm.

Check in Pauly....

[Lavande]

Good evening Abbers,

We were treated to a nice, sunny, 52 degree day today. Perfect for getting out & doing a little shopping, ha ha.

Mick, happy packing. Don't bother packing winter clothes, Florida should be nice & warm

Hey SnoopStar, I haven't seen Pauly around today, hope she is OK.

PQ, glad you are back in good shape. Sounds like you made up for lost time today

Pie, happy pup sitting next week. I'm not too sure I would have the energy for that at this point, ha ha!

Hi there TT, SF & Nora!
Det, glad you are checking in with us. I hope talking with your friend was helpful.

Pauly, please check in with us too :hug:

Wishing everyone a pleasant & peaceful night!

Lav

[Pie]

And a pleasant and peaceful night to you too, Lav!

Mick we loved Universal. It's my favorite park.

I think I could have summed up my post by saying "I think al is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time".

Det-so if you had a heart attack and had to be out six weeks your work would have to shut the doors? Work really isn't a great excuse when you have a fatal illness. Would you skip cancer treatment due to work? Whatever DX wants you to do--I would be doing that.

Pauly-hope all is well. Try not over analyze it. The whole thing sucks. Keep it simple. "This sucks" eventually sunk in for me.
