Sorry this is kind of a long post since I've been away for a few days.
Holly, I was keeping my fingers crossed & praying for you. I am so glad you do not have AS. My niece's husband John has it as well as his dad. It's a horrible disease. There are days John can barely walk, since many of his vertebrae have already fused. He is on some very powerful pain killers, and they really do make him mean at times. He's not even 40 yet. So I am much relieved that you do not have this horrible affliction. But arthritis can be very, very bad as well, so I'm happy you have a dr. who listens to you and tries to do the right thing.
Seems like there are lots of us here suffering from various debilitating diseases. My heart goes out to all of you. It took over 30 years for my drs. to finally give me a diagnosis, so I really do understand the frustration.
Lizzie, thanks for letting me know -- I can't stand that "perfumey" taste in my vapes, but I did want to try the strawberry cream. I've added it to my cart now.
Reptilr, sorry you are suffering so with the heat! Here in Denver I'm having a hard time adjusting. Hot one day, cold the next, then hot again, then cold again. I just wish it would make up its mind what it wants to be, LOL.
CatLady, glad you got your vape mail ... I got mine yesterday, so I've already given my sister an early Christmas gift ... a 65mm Volt in her favorite color purple, along with some purple nanos. She surprised me ... she actually used it off and on all day today. Whenever she vaped on mine, she had always coughed & said no thanks, I'll just smoke. I think it was just too intense for a beginner, maybe. But I filled up a nano with one of my tobacco samples, gave it to her, and she's vaping on it! I've been trying to get her to try vaping for almost 3 years, so I am happy to say the least.
Hi JoAnn -- glad you like your rainbow. Post a pic if you can -- I'd love to see what it looks like. Can't really tell all that well on the SI website.
Debra, wow, I'm so glad you finally received some clearos that work & do not leak! Sorry that it's so hot there. Hope those alien egg sacks aren't making you suffer.
I'm so glad to see more Aussies joining in on this thread. Welcome to all!!
Hi White Rabbit -- seems you're having kind of "unseasonal" weather, too. Usually we have snow here on Halloween; this year it was 70 degrees at 6 p.m. It is getting colder now, but keeps going warm, cold, warm, cold. Can't make up its mind at all.
Raynes, I LOVE the idea of Furby therapy. I hope they go for it.
Hi Rave, hope you are doing well. You, too, Blues.
Hi Mark, I agree with you about hospice. Mom didn't have it, didn't want it, but she did pass in her own bed, not in the hospital, the way she wanted. I guess you could say that her 3 daughters were her hospice care. But I totally agree with the hospice concept, and I support it when I can.
Nightfell, so sorry to hear you have lupus. Yes, drs. can be both stupid and insensitive. I had my first symptoms when I was around 16 yrs old, did not get diagnosed until I was around 55. Saw literally dozens of different doctors over the years. then it was going back and forth between MS and lupus. Technology just hasn't caught up with diseases IMO. Plus drs. can be pompous asses, pretending they know everything when they know almost nothing. Just my

Anyway, hope you are managing okay with it.
Hi Konstantine, Hi Awsum, Hi Chief! Hope I didn't leave anyone out.
Well, I have a pic of myself to share (which I rarely do), because it shows how happy I was at Thanksgiving. I was feeling extremely well, no aches, no pains, no nuero stuff, and I think it shows. Here I am with my niece:
Have a great night, everyone. Keep on vaping, too.
