How beautiful y'all are!! I'm so happy for you that in these moments you can recognize the chains smoking had on you and that you are now free! Live in these emotions, enjoy the feeling of them! Sending my love your way, friend...take some time to just breathe❤️

Buried to my neck by the devil!! Well, sounds about right...?

Everything's bigger in TX...

I remember when they changed to the "fire safe" cigarettes and everyone was crazy about what chemicals they were using to do it? I like the idea of printing warnings on each individual one; raise the price of them and they can't just throw it away like they can graphic packaging. I'm seriously militant anti-smoking since I quit so I'm even all for taking them out of stores completely and smokers have to go to a separate place to get them. Stinky butt suckers.

Very "special" indeed? It could happen...

Aka: blow your a×× off later chili ?

I do not know what this is but count me in!!?

Sounds like you tried...? Now, you lay on the couch and eat chocolate...right??

They said this would happen in TX too but last I saw you can still get a pack of Marlboro for $5.39... I do like the pic too...they should all say "I'm with stupid------>" (red arrow pointing to filter)

Sooo...how did it go? Did you sexy lady all day? No twisted ankles? Only have one boot now because you broke the other off in someone's as....nose?? I'm proud of you for going out of your comfort zone...I hope you have a fantastically self-confident kind of day!

Yeah, I complain but if the kids are eating; they can have as much as they want...even mine. I'll make a salad or wait til they go to bed and have an Carnations instant breakfast?

@jillar @Whispers @Sazerac thank you for keeping us in your thoughts❤️ We're strong ladies over here, but, man, I was hoping it would close. Hopefully, it's small enough that it will just be the catheter to place the mesh. (That's how they did the ASD and the clip) she was doing good with the meds and therapy so we were waiting and watching the VSD because it was too large to send a mesh in but under control enough that she wasn't having heart failure anymore. The thing I have to keep reminding myself is: this is it...No matter what happens; surgery, catheter, it will be the end of the surgeries...that weight will be gone from over our heads. Pray for the best and plan for the worst is all I can do.

Currently chewing a hole in my lip worrying about my daughter's echocardiogram tomorrow...have to check on the patch on her ASD and mitral valve clip function. Dr. is concerned that her murmur is still so agressive (probably means her VSD hasn't closed as much as we hoped it would) if not that means another surgery?

That happens here alot! I'm in the kitchen trying to get the last thinhs finished while they help themselves to seconds and I end up with the butt of everything?

Beast mode today, Lilly!! Keep that fire burning because this is the day that's the easiest to throw it all away... You are more powerful than you given yourself credit for in the past! That ends TODAY!! Do you hear me universe?! Lilly is taking her life back today...and nothing can stop her!

We all need time to ourselves...don't ever forget that YOU ARE WORTH IT!! We WILL see you on the lido deck and it will be the party of the year! Keep calm and quit on, friend? (P.S. keep spray handy for the daughter's stinky hugs; just a quick spritz to redirect the brain)

Mine's all festive for Halloween?

I'm glad you're back, Lilly... You CAN do it; this place is full of people just lile you...and we do it everyday. You know the drill, educate yourself, get MAD about it!! You deserve the feeling of freedom; just get a little taste of it and I swear you will never want to cover it with the taste of cigarettes again!

Linda Thomas, I'll kick your butt!! And then hug you silly because I know the feeling...take some deep breaths. I was going to tell you to buy a snickers and eat it on the car ride, but lake and whoppers is a much better idea!!

When he's done with your holes...please, send him my way...* have a plumbing problem for him to bang out?

Good to hear from you @Cader28 !! Even better that you are still rocking that quit! You find the rewards that are right for you because you know the best what makes you happy...I also like to encourage people to try new things because the non-smoking you might like things that you didn't as a smoker. Enjoy the freedom! Breath it in deep...life is good in the non-smoking section? (My youngest is allergic to dairy so I feel you on the chocolate?)

92%, not bad...got a couple of the NRT ones wrong (precentages questions) and #28 answer G. was the right answer but it was blank so I picked every other one first. Good stuff tho; always learning?

The lurkers too...hellloooo?? I guess I'll keep the windows clean til they get here...

Yes! It's all too common any more tho. I've read a book that says all this must come to pass... I still don't think it's a gun control problem tho...I really think it's a mind control problem. I pray for wisdom and clarity of mind...grant people discernment of character. Strengthen our armour against our foes; stay with us in battle; make our feet swift and swords strong. The enemy has no power here. Use our hands to heal and our words to lift spirits, knowledgeable and true. I will stand tall on the battlefield knowing my trust is in You.

@DoreensfreeI love you lady?
