Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

[bigbells]

Around 1978, I was in weekly group therapy with about 12 other people. The shrink was susceptible to changing the diagnoses of all the group members at the same time. For a good while he was on a Seasonal Affective Disorder kick, and he had us all buying full-spectrum light bulbs and (literally) wearing rose-colored glasses. I do believe to this day that one can lift one's mood a tad by wearing glasses with red lenses.

I was out flying at 7 am this morning.

That's great news in so many ways. You should feel pretty good. Are you gonna do a little dance when he's gone?

Little dance? @Rotowoman, baby girl you let yourself hop, skip, & jump up & down when he leaves! Ahheeee!!

The Convention in Tampa. I am just getting to know the folks on here and was not invited; so I wouldn't just take it upon myself to crash their Party. Just to be clear. I'm an outgoing individual so I look forward to going to the Convention and meeting new people with like interest ; as I also do with Car Shows & model trains conventions. I'm a people person.

Subway..from what I understand, this get together isn't by invitation...all porchers are welcome to come get to know each other in real live person...i've only been hanging out here for a few months and i'm going.

You'll meet and get to know up close n personal( tho not TOO personal..umm..I think..) lots of great folks!

Hey kenna! Yes, i can sit out in the sunporch when it's above 40 degrees...with both faux cast iron stoves going! As a matter of fact, i was out there for a few hours earlier today basking in the sunhine.

It felt great!

I'm glad you have that porch, it's nice to feel like you are outside & get some sun.
We hit 71 yesterday & I got Mom out for her mani/pedi. She hasn't been out of the house in weeks. She kept talking about how good the sun gelt & how fresh the air smelled. Duh!

for anyone interested, History of the Eagles, parts 1 and 2...started at 8:00 P.M. EST on CNN

Thanks. Watching it now. I won't be making it back to the hangout. This was supposed to be on a week or so ago and got overcome by news events. Thanks again for the heads up.

Thanks Ken_A, appreciate the info and look forward to meeting and getting to hang out a bit with some of the Porch Group. We'll have to figure out some way we can identify each other since I presume there will be Tons of folks there

I'll be easy to spot...
I'll be nekkid....

Thanks old broad, I sure am looking forward to getting to know you all in person, but I 'm going to meet up with a few old military buddies that I haven't seen in some years in Tampa. We've all quit the stinkys and vape. But next time for sure. And I appreciate your reaching out to me and letting me know.

Welcome my friend...I'm watching it, too!

 

[oldbroad]

Thanks to everyone on both the Front & Back Porches for being so welcoming and nice. I feel grateful for finding such a group on the internet that I can identify with. And the support in this journey leaving the stinkies behind. I look forward to getting to know many of you more in the future. I hope I can help as much
Peace and vape on

You just keep on vaping, you'll be an "oldtimer" in no time at all, and then you'll pass on all that you're learning in this wonderful vaping journey.

This one is also appropriate for the Odyssey....

71!!! Wahoo! I'd be rolling around in the grass...wait...I can't roll anymore...ok then, i'll be laying on it...

I hear ya! I think we might have been at 36° maybe twice so far, usually the lowest is 40+ or even into the 50's. We get rain, too. But without warmer sun the ground doesn't dry out much, so humidity & windchill makes it feel colder. We can get freezes into the end of March or early April. Winter hung around way into April last year. I think we.ll have an early Spring & a booming bluebonnet season this year!

Before I fill y'all in on what's been going on....

Belated Happy Birthday to 3mg!! And, Legs, your new legs look fabulous. I hope you are more comfortable now. Kay, hang in there. Winter won't last forever!!

After hearing all the rumors and not being quite certain what the flip was going on, after our maintenance meeting on Thursday (my Monday) I called my boss. I mean, at this stage of the game, I need to be adaptable, BUT, I was tired of dealing with uncertainty.

Without going into a boatload of details, the bottom line at the moment is that I will not be leaving my base right now. Even more joyous news for me..........my lazy little nemesis applied for an opening at another base, and he WILL be leaving!!! God does NOT sleep.

At any rate, I don't know when his departure date is, and I don't really care. I'm taking one day at a time as that's all I can deal with at this point. I'm more at peace, although the weather has my body aching. I'm way behind here, but I wish everybody well!!

YAHOO for you !!! Bye bye ya friggin' brat! ...I say..for you...to him...

 

[Iffy]
