Since most of my friends are on this forum...

I talked to the cardiologist yesterday. We have to make some adjustments to my meds. Yippee. :-/ He added a PRN (as needed) med for my blood pressure; it's been going too high again. He also okayed the med that I want to use to stop smoking, so both BB and I are planning to quit in a week.

If y'all hear any earth-shattering kabooms coming from the Florida area, it's not a hurricane. It's just acute nicotine withdrawal. The only question should be.....which one of us made the earth-shattering kaboom.


All the best with the quitting, both of you. I'll not get into the whys and benefits - you're a nurse and I'm sure you've seen the flicky-films and read the books.

It's great you're tackling it together. Team effort and all that support for one another. I hear the first wee bit is the hardest (and likeliest time kabooms may be heard), but then there is only the occasional passing urge to contend with.

Hang in there BeachMomma.

HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love that little girl. She's already a force to contend with.

And I love the ocean gif. I have to save that one. Thanks everybody! Today is my official last day as a smoker.

We're fucked.
 
Thanks guys! I don't know. I came real close last night to committing a double homicide at work - a doctor and a nurse. The doctor deserved it; ok, the nurse did too. Actually, the nurse might be my first casualty. I wouldn't be put in jail for it; I'd be named a national hero. :D My defense for the nurse would be "She needed killing." Not a jury of my peers in the world would convict me. :D
 
I've heard that during times of drought they will ask the pickers to urinate on the tobacco plants.

You are so going to remember that for the rest of today :)

3 Things you don't know about me:

I could work tobacco fields by the time I started walking.

My first job was in a tobacco factory.

When I was a kid, I used to ride down the conveyor belts of said tobacco factory to sell school projects to the workers. I also rode the forklifts around the factory.

Bonus: I'm no stranger to the growing, processing, and manufacturing of tobacco. :D

First thing that'll pop to mind when she has attained this state:

EM! Have you been peeking in my window with those weird glasses again?








*off in the distance* Ka-pow!
 
Try, try again. :D

I'm ok. Hubby took off for the USA today, so it's just me and the kidlet for a couple of weeks. I've been off at training with work and going hard at the gym - I figure after 3 years it's time to budge the baby weight. :rolleyes: :D
Ohhhh, Rainy is baching it! Skype and the phone lines will explode! :D

Good luck!
 
I just realized that this month was my one year Litversary. All I have to say is I'm so glad I found this place. :eek:

Happy Litaversary! I'm glad you found it too! You're a breath of fresh air, and I love reading your posts. :kiss:
 
Happy Anniversary Pmann!

What do you get a man who has everything and wants for nothing but a wee aussie lass from far across the ocean?

A catus of course. I understand you and these spiny succulents have history, so I know you andyour new potted friend will be fast friends.

Hugh? No... I think he's filming Wolverine.;)

Laughing at your little shit comments, even right now. Fucker. :D

We all know you're growing weary of him and hardly find him attractive at all anymore. You said so just last Wednesday. I mean Thursday. ;)

That is a nice cactus. Normally I'm not one for putting things in my arse. But come on, that's a magnificent cactus.

Do you think you could get me that beautiful aussie?

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. :)

You know I've thought long and hard about your aussie predicament.

I've realized that the thing keeping you stuck at 4 on the intimacy scale (see below) is an ocean. Well maybe two oceans, depending on your direction of travel.

What you need is a good sturdy rowboat. Forget that Life of Pi drivel, I'm talking about Life of Pmann.

A solid, reliable rowboat will get you to 5 on the scale for sure. Can you imagine rolling onto the beach downunder, all Christian Bale-like. Sure, I'm talking the Machinist Bale. But you did just row 1/2 way around the planet. Bale-like will get you to 5 for sure.

Once re-hydrated and a couple of skin grafts later (you drank your remaining sunblock on day 86) I could totally see you hitting 6, 7, and 8 in one evening.

So get a boat. And maybe one of those Rosetta Stone language courses to keep you company on your voyage, and help you learn Australian.
