That's what I'm hoping for. I'm trying to extend as many good thoughts their way as possible.

One of my college friends has gone missing. We had the same classes together from 2008 to 2010. It felt really surreal to see his name/picture in the news last night. I have a bad feeling about this, especially now that they've found his car. I'm really praying he does show up and is okay, but only time will tell. He is a genuinely nice guy. http://www.recorder.ca/2014/08/20/missing-sports-editors-car-found

Fcuking right.

Agreed! But yes, that would drive me crazy, lol.

Oh Ross, I'm such a mush. This post has me in tears. Tasha looks absolutely gorgeous and congrats to both of you for your amazing journey! Like her, I know I need to lose weight to get pregnant, so it's inspiring for me to read this.

For some (like me), smoking causes you to feel ashamed of yourself. You know it's a dirty, nasty habit, so you try to hide it from those who "don't know."

What's your least favourite song?

I'm glad I'm not the only lady who considered this, lol.

Hell NOPE!

Looks like my boyfriend...

D'awww, so cute!

Awww, cute picture Joe!

It's been a glorious, smoke-free day for me. :)

Smoking causes you to count your change. Every penny goes towards a pack of cigarettes. Sometimes eating is less important to you.

Looks soooooo appetizing.

Don't feel uncomfortable talking to us about it! We can relate. That's what we're here for. :)

Yeah, do not listen to those junkie thoughts! Listen to Jackie and learn from her. Did smoking make her happy? Nope. What do you think you'll gain from smoking? Nothing, because there is nothing to gain. It won't fix any problems you have. You will feel worse, trust me. You know this. Fight through it with all your might. Hold onto your quit.

What's wrong Susana?! We're here for you. .

Agreed Frez! (((((Hugs))))) For a 19-year-old who saw his mom dead on the bedroom floor (they took her off the bed to try to do CPR, but she was long gone by that point), he is doing incredibly well. Better than expected actually. He's a strong kid. But I know how much he misses her and for my brother's GF to tell him he has no right to grieve or be upset really hurt him. I honestly wish I was there to read these comments she made... I would have kicked her ass for sure. I had 27 years with mom. That doesn't mean I miss her less. My older brother wasn't even around much for the last 8 years. My mom would cry to me about how he never visited her. I think him and his girlfriend are using his guilt as leverage and trying to make my little brother feel bad. Horrible thing to do, but it just shows you the kind of people they are! I'm sorry about your mom and step-mom. :( Losing a parent is devastating.

Any embarrassing stories to share?

Thanks Chrispy, lol.

Good question. I want to punch her in her stupid face, but *deep calming breath.* I'm still thinking about emailing her or messaging her on Facebook and telling her what I think about her, but I don't know. Thanks DD. :(

She really is! Thanks Gemzee. x I shouldn't really be surprised, but yeah, it's going to be challenging not to say anything to her, lol. Hugs and kisses back Doreen. Thanks for listening! I'm much better today. Definitely less stressed now that I was able to vent and get some sleep, even if it was only a few hours. Thanks hun -- I miss her a lot. She was my rock. I really miss hearing her voice. She's the one person who knew everything about me. What bothers me is my older brother's girlfriend telling my little brother he doesn't really have a right to grieve because he had my mom for 18 years and my older brother had her around for 29 years. My little brother was around my mom every single day and was very close to her, so it's upsetting to hear his GF say nasty things like that to my LB. Ugh.

Mine definitely would have. There's nothing sexy about me when I sleep, lol.

Actually, that's what I was putting on my tooth last night Tracey. Helped a lot. I was able to finally fall asleep! Unfortunately, this isn't my first time having a toothache, so I have a lot of medication for them around the house, lol. Yeah, that's probably what the dentist will do. Antibiotics first and then an extraction/root canal.
