Why are there no ugly kids anymore? I remember when I was growing up there were ugly kids everywhere but now its nearly impossible to find an ugly one.

Could this be an evolution thing?🤔

Well this conversation takes me back to one of my life's most innocent and embarrassing moments.  Was definitely in my younger years when gas stations quit having attendants pump your gas.  I did not

In our house, the warden & I don't have any real houseplants other that this one lonely African Violet that we've had like forever! I don't even remember when we got it but it's been 20 or 30 years I expect. In our old house this thing would get a couple or three flowers in the summertime and nothing in the winter but it always survived. We moved about 3 years ago and brought 'The Plant'. Stuck it somewhere in the dining room near a window but the direct light conditions are not great there. It hasn't flowered since we moved here.

 

About 2 months ago we were moving some crap around for some reason and the plant ended up on a cabinet near a window in the front room. I noticed it was getting direct sunlight for a couple hours each morning. Well ..... low & behold after about a month, this thing developed a flower, then two , then ..............

 

Here's what it looks like today!

I've never seen such a transformation in a plant ever in my life! I think it's trying to tell us it's found it's Happy Place 😍

Just beautiful. It is amazing it lasted so long. I think they can be quite fragile, difficult to keep healthy. So, why do you need a warden?😳😉

For the Americans in the group, as you barbecue with family and friends today,  please take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday, and drink a toast to a soldier you may know, who willingly made the ultimate sacrifice, so that the rest of us are free to party. If you don’t know anyone personally, toast my, son-in-law, Sgt. Tony Paci, who was killed in action, in Afghanistan, on March 4, 2010. He left behind, my daughter and their 3 babies, who were all in diapers, at the time.

 

“Here’s to you, Tony! You will never be forgotten!” 
 

Love, Sita (Tony’s pet name for me, short for mamasita)

He,s missing his family already ....I'm open to ideas to help him settle ...

Poor Guy .....

 

Hi Doreen. I have someone in the family who used to work with dogs. Maybe you have already done this but he says ensure the dog has a shirt or t-shirt from his favourite family member. Apparently when they homed their puppies they would give them a bit of the mums blanket to take with them. Hope he's settled in now with you

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
