Great reminder Phil, thank you

Congratulations Juan on getting past the hardest week of them all. Hopefully now you feel confident enough to fill out your quit date and maybe even get a ticker.

Congratulations Phil on getting past the hardest month of them all! I love and appreciate how active you are here and look forward to seeing you reach your first year quit

Thinking about the funny dream I had last night. Apparently a friend and I went on some sort of ride involving a boat and after the ride we were walking back and were in front of a couple ladies. Yours truly really had to fart so I THOUGHT we were far enough ahead to sneak it out. Luckily it was a silent but deadly and I know this because of two things. 1. It was silent and 2. I heard one of the ladies behind me say "p.u. who just sprayed us". OMG I laughed so hard I woke myself up! 😂😂

I ate 4 cans of alphabet soup today and just took probably the biggest vowel movement ever! 😄😄😄

I can think of a few things I like

Enjoying a kielbasa

Pretty like a new kitten Liked

Can ravens annoy vultures enough? Annoy

Hi Joe, sounds like you're living and loving life

Spaghetti, tortellini, ravioli, overeating lunch lasagna Lunch

That could be @reciprocity but I'm definitely going to call on Monday and see what the heck! It pissed me off too that blue shield didn't credit me on either the deductible or copay. I swear the rates go up and the benefits go down by the year 😞 When I asked the girl at blue shield why bother having insurance if they don't cover anything she actually told me that I didn't HAVE to have insurance if I didn't want to! And it doesn't help that all other health insurance companies pulled out of California thanks to Obama care, which we don't qualify for either 😠😠

Hmmm, interesting. I think I'll call Dignity Health on Monday. When I got that today I thought someone was using my insurance because it said the provider was Marian Medical Center which is not where I had it done.....

Wow Jordan, that's crazy! Yes, it does sound like highway robbery and that was my share! The whole bill was over $1000.00 for a frucking chest x ray!!!

Don't get me started on Social Security, I tried to file a claim for disability because of my fingers and was denied because I haven't "shown" an income in ten years. Apparently doing the office work doesn't count in their eyes since I wasn't paid a check each week. But we have paid self employment taxes the whole time which covers sis and disability. I could get a lawyer and fight it but it's not worth the trouble 😠

Good job mrsguest, I used my JAC the whole first year. Nice arm painting

Ugh, that sucks @Linda Thomas. I can just imagine what our rates will be here in California by the time I reach medicare eligibility 😞

Good on you for posting MLMR, this too shall pass and it will be yet another hurdle conquered, xoxo

Shit, just got an explanation of benefits from Blue Shield and they wanted my share to be $650.00 for that chest xray! Why the hell am I even paying for Health Insurance if they don't cover shit?! Luckily I called them and told them that was insane, that I used a network provider and had I known I would NOT have done the damn thing. AND they decided to cover it 100%! How does that work?! If you don't complain they assume it's ok to charge those prices?! I'm already paying $453.00 a ******* month for insurance so like I told her, why even have insurance?!

Happy Birthday MQ, and a big THANK YOU from me too

Great to hear from you hellkat, sorry about your work causing you added stress you don't need 😞 I agree with Linda on both the listening to your body and finding another therapist. It's important right now for you to be able to get your feelings out to someone neutral. Xoxo

I agree, it's a really pretty color. Gray, white and silver are all the in colors here in the states right now so I picked a perfect time to go gray lol.

What helped me when I was having a bad crave was my JAC (jillars air cigarette). I just pretended I was holding an actual cigarette in my fingers and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. It worked wonders at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. Some members use pens, cut straws, even twizzlers as their air cigarettes

Ride it out mrsguest, I know you can. We all did

Those are awesome! It's like cross stitch or paint by numbers but with stones. Very cool
