Evelyn, I am sorry to hear this. It cannot be easy to lose your mom, so I don't know what that is like. However, I have lost people very close to me. What I know is this, you will always miss your mom and it will of course hurt. As time goes by, you adjust and because you have become accustomed to this new reality without your loved one...it's not as noticeable. You start to notice beautiful things again, be it birds chirping or meeting friends for lunch.

Welcome DJ :)

Welcome Soul :)

I always wondered what your name was!

I think in the past Tracey and Action have showed up earlier and whenever we could we joined them. There have a few UK'ers known to stay much much later, lol

Great job Evelyn. I see your ticker is primed and ready to go. If you have any doubts or struggles, come here to the board and talk to us, we can help you through it. Sure, we spend a lot of time joking and playing games, but quitting comes first and we will drop everything to help you keep your quit.

Do you eat a lot of broccoli? That is very gassy.

Welcome Craig :)

That was sweet LB :)

Welcome, it is nice to see you here :)

On it's way :) All anyone has to do is ask

8 I see the Rebel is helping the newbie cause :)

Quit smoking :) When is the last time you stepped on a scale?

Doreen, It must break your heart over and over to watch him struggle like that. I am sorry and you are the sweetest person, you don't deserve to feel like that. I am happy you took control of your own life though, because when it comes down to it, that is the only one we have the power to change. Hindsight is 20/20, right? I hope the rehab improves his quality of life as much as possible. Hugs to both you and Tony.

me 8...and I bet if this place could talk it would say it liked us all as well :D

Well, almost 39 year ago a baby was born into this world and they decided to call her.. Wait for it..... Colleen! Sorry, wish I had a little more originality and could come up with a snazzy name :D

Sharon, so nice to see your face, even if I have to squint lol Beautiful family as well! You can right click on a picture and copy (not copy link address), then paste in your post. Same with youtube videos. You could also upload pics to Photobucket, then post the link provided at that site.

Welcome Fay! It is so nice to see you over here :)

Lest we forget....8 pm be there or be square lol. Bring your wine, Vodka, coffee, tea or rain water. Alcohol not required, just understand some of us get a bit silly and there are few that like to streak naked in the chat room. Not me of course ;)
