NotCigs refugee thread

[El Dee]

Mom spent yesterday with Sis....debriefing Sis revealed nothing bad was said...I declined to tell Sis what all Mom had said about her...Now sugar won't melt in Mom's mouth.....They say "Silence is Golden"....Reaping the rewards of keeping my mouth shut....I'll be as out of sight....out of mind as much as possible in the near future...

My lifelong friend set me up with his Doc...Even though recently married old friend has a crush on the nurse...Hey....I've only met her once and we're friends now...she's friendly.....but....married as well....Bottom line....she told old friend the Doc had my results for dang near a week....Really not sure what's up with him....only thing I can figure is he's holding them hostage for payment....I made it perfectly clear that the money was in hand....he didn't know how much the test was or I would've paid then....Tomorrow he's got a date with destiny and he doesn't even know....Stressed past the max....I see a BP cuff come out and it's going around his damn neck....

I come from a family of farmers, truckers and teachers....I can grow sheet....I get around....I'm not stoopid....I got pinched with Pablo's product in 1982...to this day that's held against me...not a black mark by my name but my name blackened out...Then I hear all these deep dark secrets last week....Those same sumbeeches condemned me to Hell....my best advice....Practice what yahh fekkin preach....and....Don't grab the bull.....Yahh might get the horns

One day of semi rest and my back reaps the rewards....Damn if a tick didn't drop babies nearby and I've been tagged 5/6 times by 3 found ticks....Last year one of those little sumbeeches tagged me 14 times in a line up my leg....looking a vein I guess...the little bass turds will bite then move and bite again...It's the price I pay for the company of King Spike...Cleaning up all my tools and storing stuff like the chainsaw/weedeater in the new spots designed for them...Not taking on any big projects for the foreseeable future...just keep the train moving...slowly....The dust around here will settle....let's hope the cops don't get called too the Doc's tomorrow...

OMG, my Dad did the same thing Goldie. The Dr finally asked him why do you come here if you aren't going to do as I ask ?

I'm so glad to hear about the great part of the news for your mom.

That is exactly the way that I think! Why the heck even go if you are not going to do what they tell you need to do? Her doc has been beyond frustrated with her and I think close to telling her the same exact thing if not just totally dismissing her from his practice. She likes to get her blood work results and that is about it.

It really helps to know that others act the same as my mom does. Sheesh I hope that I don't act the same way when I reach her age.

I sure couldn't like those posts Salem. I can't believe she went back to cigarettes after that long. Sure glad to hear about the cancer though. We've been fighting DW's for almost two years now and it's growing again. I went through a lot of what you're going through with both my Mom and Sister. When we cleaned out Mom's house we found her "stash" of Capri's. My Sister set herself on fire by lighting up a cigarette with her oxygen running and had to be airlifted. She never recovered from that one. Frustration and anger don't describe what you're going through. Prayers for you, your Sisters and your Mom.

I am so sorry to hear about DW, Wuzz. It is very obvious by your posts at how much love you both share for each other.

My mom is afraid of things that go boom because she had a gas boiler blow up on her many years ago. The only thing that she has now is a concentrator so that she can use oxygen when she sleeps. I think that once she is on oxygen 24/7 she will actually put the cigs down. Back when we all started vaping (2010) I had to charge all of my moms ecigs at my house and take them to her. She was too afraid to charge them at her house.

I really hate to hear that you have been through dealing with cancer in the family so many times, Wuzz. It really does not run in our family. My mom is the first. She had a colonoscopy about 12 years ago and the doc that did it told her that her colon was so clean she would never need another. The jerk actually put it in writing. So, 10 years ago when she started having problems, she trusted what he said. I could wring that docs neck if I knew where to find him (retired).

I am picking her up and bringing her back to my house in about an hour. I pray that she will not have the nerve to hang out on my porch smoking but feel like she will. I am going to be a PITA about it for sure.

You guys are helping me deal with this so much!

LD, use some of the natural stuff on Spike so the ticks will be repelled. They will not even get on him let alone bite him. We have used it on 3 dogs plus I told TT about it and he uses it on 2 dogs. It works! Plus you are not putting a pesticide on him. Completely natural essential oils. Let me find a link.

Salem, my mom was the same about going to the Dr. And she died at the age of 67 because she refused to ever have a mammogram. Katie also buries her head in the sand, having cancelled 2 annual physical and blood work appts so far this year, as well as an ultrasound to check the condition of her carotid arteries. It's so frustrating.

Dee, I don't blame you one bit wanting to smack that Dr upside his head!! Hoping for good news, and no need for bail!

My mom just told her onc that she is keeping up with mammograms. Not sure if she is confused or what. I tried correcting her and she argues. She gets stuff in her head and there is no telling her otherwise. It has been at least 5 years since her last mammogram.

So far so good with my mom. She told me that she threw the rest of the cigs in the garbage. Not sure if she is telling the truth or not but, she is vaping since she has been here today. I hope that I can get her off the Twists and over to an iStick soon. Luckily I made a trade with a friend and had 8 of the Twists ( 900 mah) I am SO thankful that I had them because I do not think that she would have been open to a mod in the beginning. Although she did use a Buzz with us back in 2010. Anyway, I think that she accidently twisted her T3 on one of the Twists. It leaked and she put it in the bag with the ones that need charged. Now the entire batch is acting wonky because they most likely all have juice in them. lol

(((Rosco))), did I mention how glad I am to see you here? I have thought about you often. Especially when I clean my windows.

Dear Golden One,
I am glad that you have spotless memories of me. [emoji39] On several occasions when I use my miracle Supercloth I have remembered your happiness with them, and I am glad I told you about my discovery.

It's good to come back here and see each of you again. I am grateful for having each of you as my friends.

 

[FranC]

Good morning,Rosco It's good to have you back.

 

[Rosco]

Good morning Fran. May today be the start of good things for you.

Good morning everyone !!!! I'm up !!!!!!!!!!

Good too hear MamaGold threw those stinkies down.....If it were me....IPV4....KSM w/RTA....24/30mg/ml....I'd like to see someone look at a stinky after puffing that a minute or two....Maybe she'll win the fight this time....

My mg/ml is at 3...I vape constantly....Not really sure the cut too 3 had and benefit....The mg/ml multiplied by the # of hits factor,,,The day that lies ahead will require fresh batts and full tanks....

Gotta pay auto insurance....yeah I got a cancellation letter for the 16th....hey it ain't even September....I'm still early wid the payment in my book.....then it's tags for the swamp damaged Ranger...With a little room in the shop I dove under the Ranger yesterday checking the damage too the bed....doesn't look bad at all but it surely transferred the damage a long ways toward the front....ie...hit the rear bumper....big pressure dent in front of the tire......I gotta get a tailgate/bumper and tail lights....After the tags and insurance a little break too collect those thoughts and then old Doc has gotta tell Dee why he's holding my test results hostage....I even inquired two weeks back....The whole thing leaves me scratching my head

 

[FranC]

Good morning,Dee Hope you get some results soon.

Morning ladies and gents

Salem, so glad that your mom is vaping again!

Dee...I'm already tired from reading your plan for the day. Hope that Dr has a good answer for you.
