Wansit, we are making it better. We are quitting. How awesome is that. I never thought I had that power within me. Hopefully we show others the way to freedom!

Nope because I am ...

Okay Reci, you just had to show me that gif 😮. I remember it being so beautiful, with the mountains surrounding the little town. I don't think there will be a way around the mountains. Just going to have to bite the bullet. This is on my bucket list!

Is the permit so they can keep watch on you if you don't return on time? Be safe - no daredevil moves or selfies on the edges. It is beautiful there. I have seen a lot of the mountains in the US and Canada. My dream trip is to take my husband to Banff, Alberta . From what I remember, as a child, there weren't any guardrails on the edges of the roads. My mother white knuckled it the whole trip. We would have to come up with ways to keep me distracted on the drive.

When we were young, they made smoking look so appealing. All the movie stars smoked and romanticized it. I am ashamed of my foolishness. I am hoping we can teach the younger generations.

It is a little better. As long as I take the anti inflammatory and an occasional pain pill, I am mustering through. We have been packing all week so we did not overdo it at once. My husband is doing the lifting. We leave tomorrow morning. We are meeting up with my grand daughter at college, so grandma had to make a special meal to feed the starving college students. She has quite a few starving friends. Then we are off to a week of just relaxing and camping. I do have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor when we get home. I am just hoping it will continue getting better. It is hell getting old!

Hey Potts, you are doing great. You definitely do not want to blow it. I am so glad you posted your sos. Just breath deep and be proud you have finally been able to quit.

No chocolate for me. I am a jelly bean addict - pink and purple are my favorite. I am being good though because I need to shed some of this extra weight.

This is an interesting article about how tobacco companies are realizing people are quitting smoking and they need to hook people another way. Philip Morris needs to kill smoking to survive ://a.msn.com/00/en-us/BBW2w7D?ocid=se

I feel your pain. Just looking at you picture sends shivers down my spine. Not my favorite experience in life.

Jo, patience must be one of your virtues. 5 hours a day getting to and from work seems like such a waste. Do you have to put in an 8 hour day?

Hey I have been missing Whispers. Did you get lost on one of your runs? You are a staple around here. Your opinion is always appreciated!

What would happen if you got in a car pool or drove yourself to work. I could not even imagine stating my day this way.

Nope

Does that include a wedding band. If I was your wife, I would worry about all those cute ladies in thongs, on the cruises, chasing after you!

Jo, for your sanity, you need to get a new job, I can't imagine this kind of back and forth to work is good for your health.

Still nursing my sore back. The pain meds they gave me, knock me out. Trying to pamper myself because we leave Friday to go camping. Can't get into an orthopedic doctor until I get back. Dr. at the emergency room just thought I sprained my back. You can be sure I will milk it as long as I can because hubby is giving me nightly back rubs!

You are extremely artistic. I hope she appreciates her mom. You spend such special time with her. Maybe you should change careers Jo. You would make a great makeup artist.

Would love to see them.

He is absolutely adorable. Love the red hair. You are so blessed. You know Joe, I just live around the corner. You could share some of that baby love.

I think she is super woman. She works, cooks, cleans and does all these wonderful things with her daughter, and looks after all of us. Thank you.

I am glad you made that clear about what kind of inbetweeny I am. I found this Nope for Reci!😁

Oh my goodness. Who does the wonderful artwork. She does look amazing. I hope there is a prize for costume.
