    Well I wouldn’t say she really rescued me. She just raised me as a single parent and always did her best and made sure we had everything we needed /wanted for years. Now that’s what she brings up when she guilt trips me. She seems to block out a lot of stuff too. As a kid I would try to cheer her up because she was always depressed and just talking about how she wants to die. I would always try to make her happy In anyway possible. I started working when I was 14 and have always helped with money since . But it got worse over the years when my sister got her own place and my dad died so she stopped getting spousal support.
    Oh, I thought you said at one point she took you in when you needed help.
    IN regards to the rest of your post. Sounds like you somehow convinced yourself that you are responsible for her happiness a long time ago. You grew up doing that and she got used to it. She now expects it. Nothing evil in what she is doing, it is just a dysfunction. If you recognize it then you can break the cycle. It will be hard and you do not have to stop loving your mom, just set some boundaries and make it clear to everyone involved. You OWE yourself that.

    Hey @Ricky Vapes with all the bunny photos it got me thinking. I've trained my dog not to chase the bunnies on our walks. Got a beautiful walk along the river and there's bunnies everywhere. I walk her off leash and she freezes when she sees one. By her body language I can see she's fighting against her instinct, but she keeps it together. Very proud of her (and myself to ;))
    It's her on the left.

    The small one is visiting and she's a bit wild. She goes on the leash and starting the same training now. She will get there. She's a good and highly intelligent girly.

    Shhhh this is only between us lot here....;)
    I hear good things about the Ulton TRIPOD 22mm rta.
    Two reviewers said it's the best rta they've used. (@Labubs and Jay Haze). Now that's a statement. Needless to say mine is ordered.
    (2Fdeal has the best price)
    I hope you like it!!! :D I'm not familiar with the Ulton version but have heard good things via reviews on FT and elsewhere. I recall @Heartsdelight and @Mordacai having one too. The Tripod RTA is one of my favorites. Great flavor and easy to build on. Tight MTL (using SS AF inserts) to DL.

    My dogs don’t chase anything while on leash. But since we have a fenced yard which they run with no leash, it’s pretty hard to keep them from being dogs. If I’m right there, I can get Georgia to back off. Maybe someday she’ll be able to govern herself, but as of now, other animals are intruders. Off our property, she’s a whole different girl.

    My dogs must have vision problems. Everytime I'm working in the yard and wearing a hat, they run out at full steam barking like crazy. They stop 10' away with a sheepish look tails tucked under their legs wagging. It's hilarious.

    Bed time for me and Toby. It’s super cold out and windy where I am and snowing in some places only 30 minutes away.

    Just took Toby out after the gym and almost froze wearing just my track suit. He had a good night though got to go for a long truck ride after work since I had to do a random drug test. Stopped at Wendy’s afterwords and got him a cheeseburger. So he’s happy and full.

    Good morning shinies :)

    So what inventories have we decimated today :lol:

    @Fredman1 the Ulton clone sounds good. Always seems pretty important to buy from the correct company and sometimes the result is hailed as even better than the OG.... Definitely needs a bit of research before you click that button.... Thanks for the tip :)

    Oh she did say she had enough of watching me kill my self and kicked me out once. I ended up coming back for a while when I had enough of the lifestyle and then went to detox. She did help me out immensely. She was selling everything she could to make rent payments and I felt really bad about leaving her. After detox I met my first girlfriend and got a place with her. My mom assured me she would be okay. Then when she died she let me move back in. It was better at first but slowly it’s starting to be this unhealthy cycle again . Guilt trips etc. I always think of my mother though always have. I never go shopping without thinking of her or get fast food for myself or a pizza. It’s always for the two of us and that’s cool with me. It’s just when she goes on these guilt trips for these stupid things it makes me feel horrible.

    Thanks for the advice :) I’ll be okay

    Just finished getting my FT cart ready for BF. Mostly bits, bobs and a HCigar VT Inbox v3 DNA75 (squonker). The Inbox is the updated vsn where you can use your own bottles and folks say "no door rattles" lol. And finally, I found a $59 sale on a quality DNA75 mod (single 18650) in the cart at another site. Guess it's gonna be a DNA75 kind of Thanksgiving for me. :D

    Only you know how to live your life. Lifes hard to figure out. What's right, wrong, best or worst, it's all relative to the person and situation. What's good for one, is bad for another. Just know we're here for you, to ....** and complain, commiserate, or ask for advice. The choice is ultimately yours, and it's as it should be bro. You're not alone.

    Aw so cute. Good job training your pup that’s not easy to do. Like you said it’s their instinct. My boy doesn’t chase stuff much anymore although he usually can’t really see either with his hair haha he’s slowing down too getting older .

    Right now we’re in bed and he keeps tossing his stuffed lamb around and pretending he’s stalking it then grabs it and shakes it . But he keeps losing it over the edge of the bed and starts crying looking down at it with his bum in the air.

    Now I see he’s put a hole in it and I’ll have to sew it up tomorrow. He gets upset when he tears a hole in his lamb and hates watching me perform surgery on it with the sewing kit.

    Silly pup. Now he is licking the lamb trying to make it better
