    Can't jump, too many White Russians, standing up is hard enough.  Would love some Eagles music though.  Eric Clapton would be great too, "Lela, got me on my knees..."  Oops- definitely showing my age, but I don't feel any different, did we check to see if all this liquor blends with the AIs - oh who cares, it's a party!!  Happy 1 year Anniversary Barbara, you done good.

    I have our table reserved...

    The location all picked out

    add one more pass of the dessert tray before we call it a night

    Thanks for another great reason to celebrate BarbaraA!

    Thanks, gals, for the great party. Too bad it is back to reality now. Next time we need music, we can just hire my DH's band.

    Hi Angelice, welcome to our thread, as it is the weekend it is kind of quiet, the rest of us will be here to welcome you on Monday. Congratulations on your 9 month quit, it is hard but it can be done.  I owe my success to the wonderful women on this thread, I will be at 5 months on the 16th of this month.  Karen  p.s. they are especially supportive when you come to bumps in the road.

    Sent a PM to seaside, she is busy with life and will probably drop a line.   I think I have too many Italian mama genes.

    Sorry to worry everyone!

    I'm still here!! Just had a bit of (well more than a bit) of teen trouble to straighten out!  Plus prom/graduation stuff!  Hopefully it all wraps up after next week!!

    Linda603,

    SOOOOOO HAPPY for you on the clean scans!!! That truly is THE BEST feeling and definitely cause for celebration!!!

    Karen,

    GREAT news that your daughter is following your example!!! I think you will find that helping her to quit, helps you as well!!  I know helping others quit, has helped me to Stay Strong!!!!

    Karen and Michelle!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes!  My actual B-Day was on Sunday but my daughter had to work all day so we celebrated yesterday!  Went to a little neighborhood Italian place for dinner and then home for cake!  Was very nice!

    I, too, thought the pork chop recipes sounded great and I can't wait to try them out!

    Any of you that are interested in a fun thread that isn't devoted only to breast cancer (although support is there as well!!), with a really friendly bunch, take a peek over at the What's for Dinner? thread... We may be as different as can be from each other but, we all have to eat!
