Sitting on the sofa with my lovely wifedrinking eggnog eating gingerbread cookies and watching "It's A Wonderful Life"
Yep it's a wonderful life
love that movie! One of my favs, I have it on DVR
Sitting on the sofa with my lovely wife
Yep it's a wonderful life
What a fantastic way to spend a Friday night.
I'm for sleep now, see you all tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
Carry on with your fun people
there's nothing more to see here
Here "You" go "Cute Little Blue Bunny" - Please Feel To Use Whenever Appropriate . . . It is especially good when deleting Post and "Cleaning-Up" . . . Matter of Fact, I use this when I have gotten carried away and NEEDED to Delete "My" Own Post (No More "Sin Bin" For "Me" - Well not if I can catch "Myself" first . . . Just Sayin' . . .
) . . .

Never Mind - Nothing to see here - "You" Can All Move Along . . .

So I see y'all had some fun feeding the wildlife while I was away. I miss checking this thread and miss all the excitment. Well, except Shari's DIL. I don't remember, do they know if they are expecting a girl or boy?
Oh yea, I do agree with the conflict of taking an attitude of ANTZ by some may feel protective against falling back into smoking again, cheerleading against picking up one again and finding the balance that allows some to continue smoking but much fewer than they were before vaping. All I can say is to each their own. This is why chit chat can be valueable because for one person it may be very important that they don't have another cigarette again and for someone else it could be very appropiate for them to stop beating themselves up about smoking. There isn't only one way that can support everybody.
I'm yawning too.

I love this, sorry it's slow so I'll call it for the night back to your regular programming
Never heard them sing together, that was special thank you Lox!
They do know that it is going to be a boy. And he has all ten fingers and ten toes accounted for. They are going to name him Colton, unless when they meet him he does not look like a Colton. Then all bets are off as to what his name will be. If they have a backup name they aren't telling. My daughter in law can be spontaneously creative so I hope my son's more grounded and staid personality will temper the choice of a name. I am hopeful for something I can pronounce and spell.
I can understand people who vape and quit smoking being passionate about their success and enthusiastic in encouraging others to give it a try. But I do find that the passion and enthusiasm is being taken to the extreme by some. And of course they are very vocal here, which is to be expected. I tend to view it in a similar light as how I view politics and religion. Anything taken to the extreme is not good or healthy or helpful. In their passion, they can be hurting their cause more than helping it. No one likes anything shoved down their throats. And just because you believe something or it worked for you does not mean it will work for the next person or that it is the only way to get from here to there. My biggest pet peeve is that some keep insisting on calling cigarettes analogues or stinkies. Grow up, it sounds ridiculous and makes a person sound silly. And I think it takes away from any important information they are trying to share. I hear those terms and stop listening to the person and discount what they are saying.
I believe I know myself well enough to be pretty sure that if I have a cigarette, I will smoke the whole pack. That is me and I choose to not test that theory. I wish I could. It would make my life a lot easier if I could smoke a cigarette once in a while when I need one or want one. Who knows, maybe I could. Not worth it to me at this point. Maybe some day I will find myself giving it a try. Not today. I do not believe someone who is vaping and smoking a couple of cigarettes a day is doing themselves much harm. I think the harm comes in from the agony they put themselves though from beating themselves up over it or letting others judgment cloud their success and happiness. You can not tell me that cutting back from 3 packs a day to 10 cigarettes a day is not a good thing. That should be encouraged and not frowned on.

I have a feeling no matter the name you will learn it and be his biggest supporter all his life. you'll research his name and be able to tell us everything there is to know about it, and we will understand because you explain so well!
Thank you Karen. That is sweet of you. I have a tendency to like to use lots of words. Have trouble being concise.
You are always on the money. I love that. you use a lot of words to get to the point.
Good morning! It's going to be a busy day around here. Hope all of you have a great day!

How about suggesting that they name him after his Grandma's Friend - "Uncle" . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Hello all, I apologize for not being around lately. I've been going through some ...stuff... and just haven't been able to. I do read some and want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year
