MAE ALL...
Thanks for all the support friends, it's really appreciated. I've always been told with COPD and smoking I could end up on oxygen but it never seemed "real"? Well it feels "real" now. That Dr. scared the hell out of me. Would that be the equivalent of tough love? This morning just flew by at work but the afternoon slowed right down. I think I would prefer it the other way around. LOL
Mick...I'm sure you had a great day at the animal rescue and that your presence was greatly appreciated. Sorry you're still going through the tummy issues, mine seem to have ended. Any chance your body could be trying to pass a stone? When I talked to my endoscopy doctor she totally understood about the increase in smoking during the shutdown over covid. She told me that she had a patient in a similar situation and she quit smoking. Said to her she realize how easy it would be. The doc said well that's got to be the first time I've ever heard that. LOL
Lav...great news on the eye. I've only ever had one sty but used to get cold sores every winter. That's also related to herpes some how. I like the NOPE model. I will remember that. Our weather has been so warm lately that when you step onto the hockey rink your skate just sinks. Although temps are cooling tonight I don't think it's going to be enough to save the ice for the schools winter carnival next week. We shall see.
TG...I tried hypnosis early on when I was thinking of quitting but to be honest I was trying to quit for my ex-husband not for myself, that will never work. When I wasn't working I missed the TGIF feeling. The new one that's going around work is on Thursday we chant "It's Friday Eve", makes it feel festive. LOL Don't you go getting overloaded with the festival. Good luck with the "teachable" online course and let us know when you launch it.
Hope the rest of the gang checks in and knows we're thinking of you. Have a good night all....

Re: Feb 6
Hello everyone and how are we today then? Hope everyone is well. I had a brilliant day yesterday I could easily have come home with another 6 rabbits! They are absolutely gorgeous. But not as nice as these two . Stomach is a lot better today day it is very strange it is still cramping up up with that mad feeling of needing the toilet but it isn't. I don't know what it is what it has been or what the allergy is but I am writing every single thing down really interesting reading if I bury it for some Future generation to dig up haha.
Hiya lav firstly really glad about your eye. That is fantastic I remember as a kid when we had styes in the eye my mum used to bathe them with cold tea bags. Best of luck next week full stop the rose of Sharon will come back irrespective the depth of haircut you have given it they are very Hardy full stop if it is light purple that means there is a good bit of copper in the soil. I have quite a few plants to put out now and believe me it is a test not to take care and have a good weekend
Hiya teegee how are you today then question mark hope all is well and you're part of the world. Yes I think it is a bug I initially thought IBS as well but Julie says no and she should know she has it. Yes stopping smoking was probably one of the things that saved my life when it went pear-shaped with my stroke hey give me the strength to fight back. I used to work at a bird of prey rescue centre when I left the prison service it was absolutely brilliant but unfortunately they move premises too far away from me. Hypnosis and acupuncture never work for me hypnosis was a waste of time I was so stubborn that I thought I will fight this and prove them wrong complete waste of money. Don't be now this get out there and show the world how good you are. care look after yourself
Hiya ppqp how are you today then? You are welcome to the support that are quite a view of Us have been there. It is probably the best move you can make for your health full stop no one can tell you you need to make the decision yourself. You did it with alcohol so you know you have got the willpower. Yes it is a real pig when you end up with a stye. Glad your tummy issues I've settled down hope mine follow suit rapidly.
Hello everyone else hope you are doing well.

Re: Feb 6
Mae everybody, Mick sorry about the stomach problems, it's not fun at all and I quit eating most wheat products as an experiment and for me it helped, now if I have pasta or regular bread I'm in pain with trapped gas all night long,eeks! PQ it's HARD to quit smoking,I vape now(which is probably worse but smells better and is more expensive) but still have my one cigarette in the morning so I feel your pain but yea you don't wanna end up on oxygen or something worse,I know you can do it! Cyn,I'm inching my way out of that salon,the lady who bought it is absolutely crazy as I've mentioned in the past,I dunno if it's cuz she has no experience with salons(she was a cocktail waitress on the strip before) an al or other drug problem or if it's a cultural thing but she almost seems to get high firing people,it's really weird like a power trip for her,meh who knows but she's single handed killed her own business, she just fired 2 girls last week and called Kellie that night almost giddy and kell said it gave her the creeps especially how she acts like people are disposable, Lav oof sorry about the eye hope it's coming along better now,Det sorry to hear of the trouble with the step daughter,I don't think I could ever be in a relationship with someone who has kids,I only like the ones I'm related to hahaha! Keep your head up,much love to all and wishes for a great BF Fryday!
I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink
I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me"

Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

Re: Feb 6
Good evening friends,
We had a great 62 degree sunny day - felt like spring even though we’re to get snow on Sunday, Lol
I have been roped into picking up the oldest grandson from school for the rest of the school year, except on Tuesdays & that started today. He flat out refuses to ride the school bus & I don’t know why - yet. I’ll get him to spill the beans eventually. It’s a good opportunity to see him & spend a few minutes together 
PQ, sounds like your doc has laid down the law. Options are no longer feasible at this point soI would definitely follow orders. The first two weeks are a bi*ch, then it gets easier, I promise 
Make a solemn commitment & don’t disappoint yourself. Like with quitting drinking, you’ll have no regrets. 
Sounds like skating season has ended, poor kids. Hang in there!
Pauly, great to see you! Have you done any reading about the chemicals in the vape liquids? You may want to drop vaping & just smoke until you’re ready to quit. I’ve read some nasty stuff about that, especially when kids are around, be careful. Sorry the salon is still a mess, the owner sounds like a real doozy!! Just using the moisturizing drops the eye doc gave me has helped a lot with the eye discomfort. My peripheral vision is still very good in the left eye, just blurry central vision right now. I hope it can be fixed butif not I’ll still be fine. Hope the kids are OK.
Mick, I was wondering if you were going to come home with another rabbit or two haha. That’s like me seeing puppies, I want them all.
Better hold off on the planting for a while. I know we have more winter to deal with yet.
Hello to Cyn, hope you are well.
Hello to Det, hope yuor home is peaceful now.
Have a nice night all!

Re: Feb 6
Mae all,
Doing fine here, had a productive day and then read a portion of a really good book early in the evening... it's a bit scary, and last night I read too late and was too upset to sleep! So got my reading in earlier tonight. Not a lot of sleep last night, so will be turning in shortly.
PPQ, well sometimes our bodies speak very loudly... and it's a good thing to listen! Good luck with everything - I know you want the best for yourself.
Pauly, yay for Fridays when you post! Yes, the vape thing is pretty scary, check it out. Sounds like the manager of the salon has some personality issues... I hope you and Kell can survive her! It would be nice for you to have a calm workplace... I'll keep crossing fingers. Hope all are well in you house...
Mick, glad that the rabbit time was good, and that you are sticking with your lovelies... they deserve to be the "Best of...". Hoping that you will take the worker's bid for the stuff on the house... this weather doesn't sound like anytime to be out working on a house! Sending good wishes for you to get over whatever bug this is!
Lav, wow, there must be something up for your grandson to make that request. Nice that you are able to comply... yes, you will get some great one-on-one time with him, so special.
I am pretty sleepy, so excuse me for a short post, but I am wishing all well - enjoy the weekend all --

Re: Feb 6

hiya teegee ...hows you then today ? did you have a good sleep?.yes Im going to take his quote price ,though will see the quality of the job he does.Those 2 rabbits at the moment are lying in the conservatory ..its pouring down and they are lying on a carpet under the radiator .Still got the stomach issues but not as bad ..Ive kept away from fizzy pop ,tomatoes ,processed ham and wholemeal bread so far .hope yuo have a good weekend
62 degrees Lav? we havent hit that this week in total !! bullying issue re the school bus?I would have had all the rabbits and worried about the consequences later ,,,did you know......One explanation dates back to ancient Greece when people would use beans to vote anonymously. White beans were used for positive votes, and for negative votes, black beans or other dark-colored beans were used. These votes were cast in secret, so if someone knocked over the beans in the jar—whether by accident or intentionally—they “spilled the beans” and revealed the results of the votes prematurely.
see another pice of info to make the centre of attention at parties !!have a great weekend
hiya pauly ..nice to see ya .glad youre making your way outtta mrs nutsos joint ..hopefully things will change with the covid stuff changing you take care ..
hiya ppqp..how are you doing today then? hope all is well with you .you up to anything this weekend?whatever you are doing take care

Re: Feb 6
Greetings friends,
62 again today & now the temp has dropped into the 40’s. I still don’t believe it’s going to snow overnight but who knows.
Grandson is here sitting with a laptop with his headphones on, no conversations so far, haha. We did just take him out for dinner so I didn’t have to cook, nice 
He will be picked up at 8 am for his 2nd covid shot, finally.
Cyn, I’ve been watching the moon change for a few days & I think it’s already messing up my sleep, geez. What does it take to get a decent night’s sleep at this age anyway? Haha.
Hope the sleep fairy can make it to both of us tonight.
Mick, another damp day? What else is new? You can save your energy for good weather detecting & have more fun 
Yep, I believe there is a bullying problem on the school bus & my older grandson is like his father - basically non-confrontational. We had to teach our kid how stand up for himself when he was the same age. I figure it’s the parent’s job to do that, not mine. We’ll see what happens. Now my younger grandson will beat the crap out of anyone that gets in his face, Lol.
I always remember the references to ‘bean counters’ when i was a kid but didn’t know the source, how about that??
Hello to PQ, hope all is well with you!
Hello to Pauly, Det, Sam & anyone dropping by tonight.
Have a nice night all.
Lav
