Hey ya all....

Annnette... what ya goin' write after the holiday is over??? : ) I love your sign off.Eric.... just spent $225 to have a new sump pump put in; had7" of water in my crawl space. We feel each other's pain? Ouch so close after Christmas.Mr. Boardman... the title of your post rang bells of memory! Toooo funny.I'm off to help my rheumatoid arthritis friend who is having a major flare up today. He can't even get out of bed. I ran over earlier and handed him the uring thing-a-ma-boobie that I bought him 2 years ago cuz he just might need it one day.... today's the day... I get to empty it.... mind over matter? I always try to think how he must feel that I have to do these things. Especially when I go after work and am sooo tired and he needs this and that. How much worse to have to keep asking and watiing for help, and double worse if the person is cranky about helping. My point in relaying this information is that there is little he can do for this chronic disease and much we can do for ourselves and are doing by quitting smoking. : ) He's not a smoker. Wonder what he thinks about all these people doing damage to their little puppie dogs?Man... I have been in such a funk... just coming out of it. Thanks Jeff, and all of you who seemed to sense my funk and PM-ed me such nice compliments. Did I give a hint or something of my mood? ARGH to the holiday blues. WHY do they come??? I was having such a nice holiday... so I don't get it. I'll be flying in the morning soon again looking for nic butt to kick aside for ya all. We have a group of New Year's Day pledgers. Oh goodie more people to get to know!One last note: KAREN LOU.... HOW ARE YOU???? I can't wait to get to post with you again on a daily basis. You, of course,Herbal cigarettes, will tear it up gal, cuz everyone knows what a warrior woman you are. : ) That gum is scary stuff. I swear I thought of it for a month after I gave it up, per Eric's good suggestion. (I was patching and chewing the gum... and flying antsy high - yikes).Tootles,stop smoking now, cheerio.... LOL
