Rant..

Why is it that when you go to your doc appt 15 min early, you wait in the waiting room 5 min after your scheduled time. And after the vitals are done and the nurse leaves to let the doc know you're ready, he doesn't show up for 15 min. Finally when he comes in, he makes an (insincere) apology, asks his "how are you feeling?, blah, blah, etc" and it only takes 5min? So, total time waiting...35-40 for a 5-7 min visit :glare: and he said that if I need my 'scrips renewed, I can go online and request them. Almost afraid that'll take a week for it to be done. Plus side, I won't have to deal with him unless something changes for the worse or have to do my well-exam.

With my son's appointments ( after driving 2 hours) I arrive within 1 minute of appointment time. We are taken to vitals then to echo room. Then after the 45 minute echo we are taken to room and doctor pops his head in and says he is going to look at the pictures. 5 min later (10 if he gets swamped by nurses getting his signature for papers but they moved to a new systen of electronic signature so that doesn't happen much. ) he checks pulse strength in the extremities then asks how he has been doing. Then says when next appointment is or when we need to request vacation for surgery.

OK, for a change of subject: I recently ordered from WholeCig, and I'm concerned that my order might not pass through Canada Customs. Tracking shows the parcel has left Wisconsin, but no further tracking is available. I really hope it passes through, because I really need the help of WTA to quit the :smokie:

when did it leave?

It left on October 31, JJ. Your parcel only took 8 days from Florida--Milwaukee is only an 8-hour drive from where I am. I don't get it, unless it's held up at Customs, and I can't track it there.

Thanks for the generous offer, Alisa. I'm hoping that the parcel makes it through, too, but I know that I have an option if it doesn't.

Alisa I have an SO who still smokes and hasn't fallen in love with the vaping idea at all. We also keep our finances separate and I still buy his smokes. He has enough money to buy his own but for years I've bought them because I smoked twice as much as he did and I carried them for both of us because he works hard at keeping below half a pack and has been trying to quit since he seriously injured his arm in 2002.
I'm probably not going to give a very popular response, but trying to force him to vape isn't going to work, it's just going to make him resent both you and vaping. You can't make him quit smoking or switch to vaping, he has to want to do that himself. Mine is going to have to start buying his own though, I've given fair warning about that since taxes are going up a LOT the first of the year and he agrees that he's not willing to pay that much more either. We split expenses pretty evenly between us but the house is his.
