Where do you keep them when their fight gets postponed? Do you involve your son with the animals at all? I've read that can be very therapeutic for the mentally challenged.

repost from old thread:
as some people know I still smoke 2 cigs a day, at bedtime, because I'm old and I want to. I got down to 2 cigs a day a month or so after starting vaping 2 years ago
my goal was to go from 2 1/2 pad to 1 pad. I had no intention of quitting! I liked smoking the main reason I didn't plan to quit was I was not going to allow the nannys and the government to dictate to me what I could do in my personal life. I'm still a little like that 15 year old who if told to not do something then becomes bound and determined to make sure they do it LOL. I refuse to buy scott garden products because they even dictate that their employees families can't smoke either . I like to go park in lowes parking lots and vape in my car because apparently that isn't allowed either!
the only reason I wanted to cut back was the cost was killing me. I happen to think that (at least some) nicotine is probably good for us.
I am proud that I have been able to hold my cigs at 2 a day without going over. I am proud that I don't even think of having a cig until it is getting close to bedtime. right or wrong, I do consider myself a non smoker too.
one of the things I love about getting old is I really only care about what I think of myself, I could give a flying fig what others think of me
on this forum there is no need to be embarrassed or ashamed about what stage you are in. this isn't a quit smoking forum it is a vaping forum.
I don't judge smokers ... you won't see me calling cigs "stinkies" or complain about the smell of smoke, etc.
so, do the best you can and don't judge yourself, there are plenty of people out there to do that for you

I'm short of time right now, but posting to subscribe. I'm still smoking, but only a pack per week, or a little less.
Welcome Kathi! I think there are more people out there in ECF that are still smoking than we know. Please come back when you have the time and chat with us, I know I look forward to it and I am sure I am not alone. How far is Stonington from Fort Kent? My Roommate lived up there for 10 years before heading here to Florida. My Nephew lived there for a long time as well.
Thanks Karen, wow, Ft Kent is way up north. I'm on an island halfway between Rockland and Bar Harbor.
I s there still a bar in Daytona Beach called Ichabod's? If so, and if it's still owned by them, Anna and Rob used to live here where I am. He had a restaurant called the Whale's Rib.
Welcome to the area for the rest of us.

Ditto. I can't imagine running around with no teeth, and I can. I need apx $10K in dental work. Dentists keep saying it'll cost $20k-$30k to get dentures. What's a poor person to do? Wait it out I guess. But yea, I can relate as to how this kind of stuff creates the desire to smoke and alters the smile. It's sad, but I think it's the new normal. Good luck at the dentist. You deserve some luck your way.
Hi, Kathi. Welcome to the thread. It sounds like you're doing really well only smoking a pack a week. I hope you stick around for a while. 
FQ - Now you just stop that right this instant. I do not want to hear that from you again, ever!
That whole thing had absolutely nothing to do with you except that the juice you made was so good I wanted to keep vaping it. That is a testament to your skill as a juice maker. You did not put diacetyl in the juice. You did not make me have a reaction to a chemical that we both knew nothing about. The cinnamon flavor is an easy one to avoid; a person can readily taste it. Who would think I would be one of a tiny, tiny percentage of the population to react to custard. Ridiculous for you to even have a thought about it. Would be no different if I woke up one morning allergic to PG after vaping it for 6 months.
You are a good person and take some stuff too much to heart. Let it slide off your back and forget it. I will not bring it up again except if a new person comes in with symptoms. And it is any custard made by anyone. You are the only one of all my vendors that lead the hunt for a solution. All others sidestepped or denied. So be proud of yourself. Love you.

The place sounds familiar, I haven't been out of the house for a long time, I am disabled. I worked in the beach area for years, I can just about "see" it but I am not sure if it's the bar I am thinking of.
Yes, Fort Kent is literally at the border. I don't know how they could take the cold, I can't imagine how cold it is up there.
in Florida you can get cheap dentures
there are even cheaper places, but this one is reliable and clean
I do not like this post at all. FQ, see if there is a dental school or college anywhere near you. If there is, even if it is a couple hours away, it will be worth it. In Nashville, I could have gotten dentures for under $1k, closer to $800 for a full set. There was just too much work to be done pulling my teeth and the school wanted to fix teeth, not do dentures for me. Check it out. Will save you lots of money.
Congratulations, new Grandma!!! And how wonderful for you that you get to see the wee one in person. Sounds like both are in good shape too, so that is a blessing.
This seems to have been a trying day for a few of us. Just to put things in perspective, since I was feeling sorry for myself over construction and no kitchen and cold weather, etc. Here is this.
A friend in another thread was driving in MS last night and caught a big patch of ice. There is not supposed to be ice and snow there. Rolled her car. Had to be released from being upside down at the side of the road in rolled car. Not seriously injured, but just step back and think. How lucky we are to be complaining about the things we are complaining about today. We are home and warm and safe.

Congratulations on being a grandma a second time! That is wonderful! You get to enjoy the babies all over again. This time you get to spoil them a bit!
Congrats on your new granddaughter, Marla. They're so adorable when they're young. Enjoy them...they grow up way too fast.
Hi Kathie, welcome to the thread. I would offer you a much bigger welcome, but I am scattered tonight. Please do stick around and spend some time with us. We love it here and hope you do too.
Ok, so I took a bunch of pictures of kitchen and other rooms damaged in burst pipe fiasco. Found manual for camera and reading to see how to upload to computer and then to email to ins person. So that mess is in my brain. Then DH opens mail and we get ins estimate and what they will pay for. They have our over 600sf of hardwood listed as laminate. (We have more so it would never match up). More phone time and talk to get it right. We could never fix floor because they only gave half the area and $ won't begin to cover the replacement we need. Most of rest of estimate looks reasonable. Ugh. No more room in brain. Back to reading camera manual.
