Stop Smoking Support Thread

Hi All! So many new names...I have been checking in but just haven't had the energy to post. The closer I get to Monday and meeting my prospective new employer the more nervous I am getting.
My dilemma: I am not a stay at home type. I am going stir crazy and obsessing at home. I love to work, be productive and thrive around people. I love taking on new challenges and learning new things. So I should be thrilled with this opportunity, RIGHT!!!!
BUT I am TERRIFIED!!!!! I am frightened that when they hear about the BC I will lose this incredible opportunity. I am terrified that they will be willing to work with me through my treatments and that I will let them down or worse let myself down! Am I strong enough to take on a new job and cancer at the same? So many questions and no answers. I keep giving it to GOD but in my humanness I keep taking it back (starting to feel like a yo-yo). I know in my heart that 'what will be, will be' and I just need to take it one day at a time, but is so hard!
25 days and no cigs... I have cut back to one 2mg piece of gum a day. I start the morning with a fresh piece and as the flavor fades, I add a piece of Doublement Gum. When the wad gets too big, I toss 2/3's of the wad in the trash and add a fresh piece of Doublement...this way I can trick my mind into believing that there is still some nicotine gum left in what I am chewing...how scary it is that I have to play mind games with myself???
I am sending positive vibes to everyone who is struggling with breaking the habit and "yeah, stay strong" to those who have quit.
Big Gentle Hugs and Wishes of Well Being to my friends struggling with chemo and recovering from surgery.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers...

Hi Ladies, I see that we have a lot going on. That's what makes us the BCButtFondler group! This also gives me an idea with the new website and it's optional and in the making. I once went to HOW and it was one of the most toughest weight loss support groups. They would have you call someone 3 times a day off a huge list. But the thing was it did help get through the day but not only the day, the month as it was a tough diet and they believe sugar is addicting. They kept us busy with reaching out and stuff to do which helped kept you mind off of food. But this is our thing and we can make or adjust our support in any ways that you all see fit.
REKoz, here is my suggestion. Maybe some of us ( not sure who would be able to be part of this with chemo and all) can exchange numbers or emails and reach out a few times during the critical stage. Like the beginning or a rough spot, even if it's just a couple of minutes. I know we all our busy or dealing with BC so it could count even when you hit an answering machine or an email. On the new website, I can make a membership area but also have a password protected page of our contact info for those who want to help the newbie's meaning starting on their quit day. Let me know what you think.
MB, thanks for your post as you give me this idea. A lot of us know that quit days are hard for us BC ladies and maybe this is just what we need, some extra support. I know that at times when I did HOW I did not want to call but it was important as it kept me focus and I wanted to say that yup, I am still doing good. It became making it between the reaching out. I am here with you all too.
o2behealthy, I say go for the job! All you can do is suit up and do the best you can and the rest is out of your control and is in whatever higher power you believe in hands. That line gave me courage as that's all one can do. But I did work my business with all the surgeries and I made it. The depression part got to me worse than the actual recovery so with the meds I am back putting in 8-12 hour days. You can do it! I also have valiums for panic attacks as we are under a lot of stress. But you do have the strength to do both as of right now. Best wishes to you, sending your strength and courage to get through these hard times!
Sue, congrats on you 6 1/2 weeks. Maybe you can be one of the members to call on for support since you have done awesome! It will also help keep you stay quit as staying quit is hard to do too. Wishing you well!
Well have to work, the rest of you ladies I am thinking about you and will try to reach out later.
Big Hugs,

Hey, real quick as I should be working on optimizing photos for the web. I just wash my kitchen counters when I noticed that when I scrub from right to left, my cancer boob was moving from right to left too. That totally sucks! I can see myself at the gym when working the upper half of my body, it will be monster boob on steroids jumping all over the place. Kinda a funny vision too but still fricken sucks. Maybe I should get some tassels for my cancer boob like the old strippers use to use.

Hi to all. Sorry this is short but please send some good thoughts and healing energy to Lursa. She's had to have emergency surgery because of a ruptured artery from her mx site. She posted that she was okay but went through a really traumatic experiece. Thanks.

Hi Pantufas, glad to see your are here and offering support. You are awesome! Glad you are here.
Time to send out big hugs to Lursa and our best wishes and positive energies.
Lursa, ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))
Much love,
Janet0 -
Hi Janzin!
Glad to see your quick response. I read Lursa's account on the Surgery thread am very worried for her. It's scary how quickly unforeseen things can happen.
How are you? I like your idea of posting about our quit dates and so forth. It's just that bit of extra support that might do the trick for some of us. Myself included. It preys on me that I am still smoking especially while doing chemo. It's as though I'm kicking my own behind.
I have been taking the day easy and just doing house work in spurts. I've been up since 4:00 this morning but managed to go back to sleep at 10:00 and didn't wake again until 1:00. I'm just sleeping when I can and doing what I feel like doing. That's one good thing about being alone. Well, not quite alone. Murphy puts up with me no matter what. How is your cat?
I am glad you are feeling better now. Glad the meds are helping you get back to your old self. I really took a nose dive before my last chemo. I think it was the stress of wondering if it would be worse than the first round. I even weirded myself out! I was seeing bears when there weren't any.
I think I'm tired enough now to take a nice warm bath and try to go to sleep. Take care Janet and have a good night. Wishing the same to all of the Butt Fondlers.
oodles of love,
Nancy

Hello Ladies, feeling better with the new meds and back to working 8 - 12 hours a day. Getting use to my new place and without my roommates drama and just my own, I am feeling much more relaxed and ideas are popping up everywhere. I have gimmicks for the next 3 upcoming tournaments that puts a smile on my face. One of my gimmick ideas came from Pantufas when she dressed up and disguised her self. Well since I went that far, I guess I should explain the rest. I have a lot of people getting to know me in business so when I have a booth at a fight, the first 5 to find me will get a free tournament. The fight promoter loved that idea and is adding his own goodie bag for when they find me. But I won't make it easy for them, I will put on a wig and glasses, etc, maybe even dress up like a guy. My competitors tell me they keep coming back to see what I am doing next as they love these gimmicks.
I will purchase our domain name this week and I would like to design a shirt for us. Will post some roughs but having a hard time with an idea, such as fonts, color, picture or no picture, etc. Any ideas??????? I just contacted BCOrg to possibly do some charity work on my last tournament this year with the proceeds going to them. You all have been such a help to me when I was feeling alone and scared, or depressed or happy, been there through it all and I am looking forward to giving back. I really believe in our cause, quitting smoking with BC is hard!!! And I also value this whole website as it's such a huge help to all of us.
Pantufas, hope Murphy is keeping you good company, mine is in my lap as I type right now. Sorry to hear about your nose dive, I hope we get less of them. I did find your thread on poetry and that is huge to bring light into someone life like that. I hope you can write a great poem for our website, maybe a couple as at times we are sad, mad, and glad with a bit of twisted humor in it. I don't think one would descibe us, lol.
Fifish, hope you weekend went well, missed you.
REKoz, what do you think of the reaching out thing. I think I could use that too as I am having a hard time letting go of these smelly things too.
Shout out to Sue, Candie and Nervousknitter for their smoke free days! Yeah!!!
MB, you will be quitting a week before me, you can always reach out and email me for support. Good luck!
O2bhealthy, I hope you are feeling better. Good to hear you are cutting down on your gum. How are you doing?
2newboobs, Nobleanna, Malleme, Webbie, Nervousknitter - drop in a line sometime. Miss you.
A group cyber hug to Lursa, she needs our support!
((((((((((HUGS TO LURSA)))))))))) Lursa, I am an hour and a half away, if you need help, call me. 303-803-6522
Welcome any newcomers who want to quit smoking, drop in a line!
With love,

Hey Every one!
Thank you for all your support! It may just give me strength enough to be more proactive about my care....meaning next time I'm in an ambulance with the guy trying to start an IV, if he doesn't get it the 3rd try, I'll kick him right in the head! I could always claim seizure disorder...LOL!
Man, what would I do without you all?
Janzin, Nancy, thank you gals!
(((hug)))

edited to add: My quit smoking has gone-up in smoke. I had 7 cigarettes yesterday....still better than the two packs a day it used to be!

HI all, anyone smoke during surgery? I have surgery on Wed and am smoking again. I am worried about the complications of smoking during surgery. I had quit for about 3 years and relapsed a few months ago. Funny, while quit, I couldn't really relate to smoking at all, I would see a smoker and see how crazy it was inhaling all that toxic smoke.. but back to smoking again, it is the first thing I do when I wake up and the last before sleep..and in between... How so easily it is to get addicted. it was only a couple ciggs for me and I was back at it full blown. Tried to stop for a few days and was in coughing fits. Heard about smoking and brochospasms during intubation. Ekk!! Hope I make it through surgery!!!!

Well ladies, as if I thought being 23 and waiting to find out if I have BC was bad enough, then I read this...hahahahahahahahahhahahahha GREAT...so apparently I have to stop smoking too!
I'm just throwing in a little bit of dry humor, hope I don't offend anyone. I've been a smoker for almost 12 years now...yes I started VERY young....but now I have a place to go for encouragement in that area! I had quit May 1st, but when I found out the lump was more than what the doctor thought it was and was headed off to find out if it was cancer...that was my perfect excuse to get a pack. Still waiting for the results, and now smoking more than ever! Ha! Oh well, 1 step forward 2 steps back! Wishing everyone the best of luck on this!

Kateri, I smoked 1.5 to nearly 2 packs per day and, on the operating table, they gave me 2 hits with an inhaler before the anesthesia was given. And I made it thru the ordeal just fine!!!!
And I am a lot older than you. Have been off the dreaded butts for nearly 7 wks now.
Lursa, I have to re read your horror story before I offer a comment. Sheesh, you are one brave gal!

Certainly don't want to influence anyones decision re. smoking and surgery but here goes what I learned.
Was reading that if you smoke, the surgeons recommend quitting MONThs in advance, because once you quit, there will be coughing and spasms and things that could influence anestatia-since I rationalize everything to continue my devious ways, I did not quit before my mx in Dec, tho I did not smoke after midnight, like requested. Same for when I had my te placed in March. I had googled aneasthesia and smoking and found the one study that supported what I just wrote. Overwhelmingly other reports want us smoke free starting today!
Having my third surgery, implant and augmentation July 22 and am thinking about starting chantix a month before- maybe I should start it sooner? Anyone know how long you are on Chantix before you are suppose to smoke your last cig?
Hope all of you are doing ok. Lursa- I read your post on the other thread. So very sorry you had to deal with that. How are you doing today? Is everything on the mend?

Welcom Butterfly! This here is what this thread is for! Too many people won't even admit to smoking as they are embarrased that they may have caused the BC themselves. (As if we could hide it from ANY non-smoker that gets within 4 feet of us!). I actually had a nurse early on, before I knew my DX, tell me I probably ought not to worry about quitting. That made me happy as I was a dedicated smoker and never had had any real plans to quit (1.5-2 pks per dayx32 years). After reading all the side effects of the chemo I was in for and THEN reading the study that webbie posted on in the beginning of the thread, I sighed and determined I would quit before chemo.
I have quit....I keep messing up but I figure even 7 cigarettes is a heck of a gain over the 30 or 40 I was smoking.
Now I need to determine to be nicotien free.
Nope, it's not easy. Last few days I've not been doing well at all. Fortunatly, I've been broke and buying cigarettes with my limited funds was NOT an option (I am proud of this as they used to take priority). I am fortunate as the entire household (one a cigar smoker) have all quit with me. I was shocked at the suppoert.
Keep coming back. Even when I started reading ths thread 4 or 5 weeks ago, I never EVER thought I'd make it this far. Keep posting and keep letting us know how you're doing. Twenty-three is just too damned young to be going thru this crud! (((HUG)))MBSCRUBS and every one, I am feeling better today. Got to take a shower this am before going to see BS. It was harder than I thought and I skipped both the leg shaving and lotion steps....lol.
Darned drain is still there but this one isn't near as uncomfortable as the last one. Something about placement and scar-tissue from old one, BS said. I'll go back on Firday. After all that swelling, I'm not in a hurry for more forign fluids!
Thank you again for your support!
Can not tell you what a difference it makes!

Lursa--wishing you the best. Oh, what an ordeal.
Janzin--I can't wait for the see the webpage. Maybe our colors should be a dull brown to match our lungs!!! heehee...just kidding. Maybe we have the breast cancer ribbon and have the cross of the ribbon we on top of a cigarette (like the no smoking signs)...heehee....any other ideas?
As far as smoking on surgery day...um, hell YES I smoked. I lit up on the way there and right away on the way home. When I got home I had a big old glass of wine and a smoke, made me feel loopy from the anesthetic and I slept for 4 hours peacefully....is that bad? I don't think so but maybe I am in denial. I think it would be so much easier to quit if I felt crappy from smoking, but I don't. I wake up, walk and feel fine every morning. I almost WISH that I would be short of breath or wheezing to encourage me more.
Thanks for all the nice thoughts sent out to my daughter. She is doing fine now. Mom spoiled her and then took her shopping and filled the pantry. Summer classes start next week, so that will help. She is happiest when she is full swing in school. She has good friends up there and they were hitting the beaches this week (trying to hit a different beach every day, sounds like fun) so she will be fine.
I missed you all. I had a hard time logging on today, anyone else? Are they trying to tell me something? Hugs to all!
Much love,
Ellie

Moring! Still smoking like a fiend but determine to quit on my quit date. It's going to be soooooo hard! Someone told me to go ahead and start on Chantix even though it's almost a month away, it still works so why not. Maybe it will be easier as you do cut down on chantix so I will be back on it tonight.
Welcome KateriT! A lot of us smoked during surgery and one of us felt that maybe if she hadn't, maybe she wouldn't of lost her TE. It's a risk so if you can cut down, you will feel better if you can't quit. First couple of weeks after surgery is one of the most important healing stage so try cutting down there too if you can. We are here for you so post post post!
Welcome Butterfly, like the name! Wow 23, I feel for you. We are a crazy bunch here and our humor sometimes gets twisted, maybe from going through all of this brings it out from time to time. We' ve had some nutty posts! A lot of us almost ended up smoking more due to the stress and are still smoking but we are trying to quit. Sometimes it's about the right timing. Stick around and give whooo hooos for the ones who make it and support the others who are trying and you will find your mindset. Sometimes it's all we can do is deal with the current situation of BC and life. You are so young, have your whole life ahead, you will feel better when you quit.
Sue, congrats on your 7 weeks!! You give us hope!
MB, I'll let you know how the Chantix goes since I am starting before you. I think I will take chantix for 3-5 months depending how strong I feel. They say 3 months should do it but they never tried quitting with BC, lol.
Lursa, I feel for you! Hate those drains but glad it not as bad the second time around. I went for a pedicure a month after my hip surgery. It was a little embarrassing as I had cave man toe nails that could crave our your name in tree. A week or two of not shaving is okay, lol. You could try Nair. Good luck to you.
Fifish, happy you and your daughter had a great time. Wine and cig after surgery, never thought of that combo, lol. After my hip surgery I was buzzing so hard I had to put out the cig before passing out. Funny about the brown color for the site. Maybe have pictures of smoke in the background, kinda like the old bar movies. Ribbon and no smoking is a great idea. I am at lost for ideas, happens sometimes. We had this exercise in Graphic design where we would write down every word that reminds of the project no matter how silly it is. Such as I could write down women, breast, cancer, smokes, United States but I just saw a post from London so I would put down World instead, hit emotional aspects that we went through which brings up rollercoaster, lol, our goal, it just goes on. Will start on it July 1st so keep sending out those ideas!
Well back to 10- 12 hours days, tournament is around the corner. Wishing the rest of you well. Hope you are feeling better Pantufas and ReKoz.
Hugs,
Janet0 -
Just stopping in to say a quick hi to everyone, I have been reading the back posts. Boy have things been busy! I hope everyone is feeling better,
Hello all our new member's you have come to a great thread with great ladies!!!
I am off to finally have my Portacath removed YAY! Hopefully they will give me the same stuff as they did when they put it in. It was like having 10 drinks without a hangover!! It was so fun thats all I remember, talking laughing and still have no clue what I was saying!! Hopefully I didn't embarrasse myself to bad. I will let you all know tonight how it went and if I got the good stuff. I am just thankful I don't need to be put out, I hate that!!!
Takecare everyone, talk soon!!!!
HUGS-Bridget

Hi everyone. I had posted about cleaning products to take the smoke smell out a while ago. NOW, I am in the "gotta quit" mode, but keep procrastinating about it. Don't want to "waste the money" I spent on cigs, so am gonna smoke what is on hand then quit.
My question to those who have used patches or gum - I have very sensitive skin - allergic to scrub soap and adhesive tape. Anyone have skin rash from the patch? And the gum or mints I have seen advertised -- any one kind or flavor better?
My reason for quitting - had a varicose vein pop out in the form of a very large, red, painful lump yesterday. Trip to ER and ultra sound to rule out Deep vein thrombosis, which can be fatal. It is a superficial - meaning surface - very small clot and should dissolve or go away on its own. Not uncommon with varicose veins. The us took over an hour to rule out any further problems and none were found. Today the lump is a lot smaller and much less painful.
Treatment is one 325 aspirin per day, elevate and alternate with walking. Wear support hose and stop smoking... I guess this was the scare I needed. Since I still get Herceptin every 3 weeks, I get a dose of heparin when they remove the needle from the port, which gives me a small amount of blood thinner.
Any help is appreciated. I am going to start weeding out ash trays and give away lighters and go to the store for some vinegar to start washing down things to remove the smell. I know that some people are too kind to say I smell, but sometimes I notice the smoke smell.
Bridget, I have the end of September marked to have my port removed. Congrats. I have not made the appointment yet, but so look forward to it. Hugs for all. Nancy

Hello Ladies!!! I am real excited. I just talked to BreastCancer.Org and my last event on Oct 17th will be a charity event with them. Will have some celebrities and the news channel and radio station there plus I will do a press kit. I will have BCButtFondlers done by then and here is my next gimmick. Midday I will try to arrange the news to be there at a certain time. I will have everyone to lay down for the largest craziest dead pic on live TV . This is to show their support for all the women who have or are going through BC. That means I want the News Channel guy to lay down along with the celebrities. I will also hold up a banner for the BCButtFondler.com so if people would like to donate more money to BreastCancer.org can come to our site, donate and post their dead pic to cheer us up. Of course there has to be rules such as no ketchup please, etc. IF I CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN, I would love to have you there with me wearing our BC.... T-shirt and laying down with me for the largest dead pic.
Nobleanna, good to hear from you.I want some of that, lol.
LeftyAKAnan, wow your name is hard to type, lol. I hope you will be okay. Sometimes the patch can irritate some people. I have some leftover I can send you before you buy the whole package if you want, just have to remember where I put them. Chantix is been helping out a lot of us and have heard success with the gum and mints too. You kinda have to find out what works for you. Remember all those products except Chantix has nicotine in it so it may still have an impact to your healing.
Best regards to all, let me know what you think of my event and new gimmick!
Love Janet0 -
Oh my Janzin, if you can pull this off, I just may have to book my flight to Denver for the weekend. I want to be in that photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is too funny. Good for you for using your tournament to raise money for BC. If you can get the news person to lay down and play dead, you would be my new hero!
0 -
Thank you....all of you are literally keeping me going....even if it is just for the next five minutes! I am still puffin' away....but it's probably best for the safety of any driver around me
Hahahaha, or that's just my rationalization so I can still turn my head to my own denial...but hey...baby steps right???0 -
Hi Fifish, I have met the News Channel guy before and he is full of spunk. He will definitely lay down with us!!!!! Even his business card is off the wall. I have been saving this connection for a special event. Also, Oct is breast cancer awareness month, how perfect is that! You come down and I will help with lodging and we will have some mango rum drinks!!! Hopefully we have all quit smoking by then, lol.
Butterfly, hang in there!!! Sometimes it's minute by minute or month by month. We'll get there!
Back to work! Sending positive vibes to all of you!
Janet0 -
Hey Ladies, just bought BCButtFondlers.com, it is ours. Had a creative meeting and my staff is excited.
Since I am down sizing, I have told you about the swapmeet party we are going to have. Here is some of the stuff you will be missing out on our swaporama, guess we will need some of Fifishes drinks to swap this thing, lol. Maybe I should add my old implant to the pile!
Had to do a dead pic. My cat join in. Pantufas have Murphy meet Taco.
We are going to do it ladies!!
Best,
Janet0 -
Hi Everybody,
Candie CONGRATS on DAY 45!! REKoz How is the weaning going? Sue Wow 7 weeks!! AMAZING!! Michelle DAY 27 Yahoo!! Lursa 7 a day is incredible--more than incredible with all you have been through in the last week!! Ellie I had a red pair of gouchos and matching vest in 7th grade..oh I thought I was so cool..LOL LeftAKANancy How is the quit going? I am starting to de-smoke my apartment too. I de-smoked the car as much as I could last week. Deebou How is the quit going? Butterfly I too am smoking more now that I am waiting for the answer as to whether I have BC. Janet Great news about the fundraiser!! Your pics are so funny. My kitties say hello to Taco. PantufasNancy I hope you are having an ok day. Mary Beth Have you started the Chantix yet? I will be curious to see how that goes. I tried it, but the side effects were too bad for me.
I am still smoking tons and I plan on giving the quit another try June 9th. My surgical biopsy is this Friday, and I am not quitting until that is over. I am going to use the Lozenges.
0 -
Instead of typing my whole name, just use lefty or AKA, ok? There are lots of Nancy's. I am down to less than a pack left. Maybe tomorrow is my final day to smoke. The good part is very few people around me smoke so bumming cigs will be hard.
Can I ask how you de smokified your car? My car is 10 years old, so it may be hopeless - upholstery, carpet, head liner, station wagon rear area... It only has 65 K miles, so no new one for a while.
0 -
Ok AKA
Good luck tomorrow if you go for it.
I spent 8 hours on it. If I could afford it I think I would have taken it to be detailed. I may need to do that in addition to what I have tried. I will only know how bad it may still stink when I get my sense of smell back after quitting. I washed all windows and any other parts I could with vinegar water. I shampooed the upholstery and carpet after vacuuming thouroughly. I scrubbed the headliner as best I could. I used fabreeze and even sprayed it in the vents. I have been told that leaving charcoal briquets in the car, or a pot of vinegar on the floor helps absorb odors. The other suggestion I will be using to mask any other odor is fresh coffee ground. I will chose my favorite flavor. Baking soda put on the upohltery and carpet is supposed to help too.
0 -
Thanks for the hints, cleo. I have put fabric softener sheets under the front seat and the heat build up on sunny days activates them to make things smell pretty decent. I cannot shampoo my seats since the front ones are heated - afraid to short them out. Maybe I will have to ride around with the windows open...

Wow! It's getting hard to keep up on all the happenings. Sending well wishes and gentle hugs to all! Big welcome to all the newbies and good luck!
I finally kicked the gum last Thursday!!! Still playing mind games with myself and I am now a Doublement Gum addict (one addiction for another but at least this gum doesn't contain nicotine).
I was offered the job I had interviewed for last week...I went to the office yesterday and met with the owner, told her how much I would love to work for her, etc...but I would not be able to start until August due to Bilat Mx and recovery time. We talked for about an hour and she is going to speak with her other employees and the temp help to see if they could stay for another 8-10 weeks...she will let me know if we will be able to work something out. Either way, I was impressed with how open minded she was. Even though she did not expect the conversation about a job offer to start with BC, her response just reinforced my initial impression of what a great employer she would be. I am still scared about taking on new job and cancer at the same time, but if she is willing to take a chance on hiring me in the middle of all this, then dammit I am going to go for it and do my very best!
Janzin:Congrat's on your event in OCT...how exciting to be a part of something so awesome! Lursa: glad to hear you are doing better, and I agree with cleomoon, 7/day is awesome! Pantufas: hope you are feeling better, sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

O2bhealthy, that is WONDERFUL. People can surprise you and boy, if that is their reaction when you first tell them, think how accommodating they will be while you are going through treatment. I wish you the very best, and bless this woman for being so open minded and not scared off like so many other people. That is so refreshing to hear for a change. When I tell people about my bc, they look at me like I have 3 eyes! I often get "well, you don't LOOK sick"...um ok, thanks.
Lefty, you go get em girl! Lay down that last pack! Wishing you best of luck!
Nancy, Pat, Susan...how are you feeling????? Wishing all of you going through chemo this week the best of luck!
Janzin, that would be a blast to do in October. I could rent a car in Denver and drive up and get a hotel near your town. I would love to think that we would be smoke free by then!!
Have a great Wednesday ladies!
Ellie

hey Janzin...I want a shirt that says "lay down for breast cancer" and I want to wear it in my dead pic.....whatcha think?
0 -
Fifish, that is such a great idea!!!! Excellent!!! You just gave me a morning happy rush! We could have that on the front and the back could be BC Butt Fondlers. Maybe make a logo to represent laying down so other people can use it too to show support like the ribbons, and not just us. I think I am going to hit this hotel for sponsoring the event and try to get free rooms for some of our guests, already have a discount with them for our travelers. Hey, did you get that idea when you wrote Lay down that pack, lol.
Cleomoon, good luck with your new quit day! Let us know how you are doing with your surgery and quitting. Sending your positive vibes your way!
AKA, lol, thanks for the short version. It took a while to get the smell out of my truck. I haven't had any luck with the vents though and I have tried squirting everything in there. I remembered when my mom moved out, I washed the walls and carpet and it took about 3 months before the room air out. My nose was pretty sensitive at the time because I didn't smoke, and her room was gross! Good luck with your car!
o2bhealthy, great to hear from you, missed you! That is excellent news on the gum and the job. I have found in the last year and a half I have lost so much but the people I have met were wonderful so I feel like I have actually gained instead of lose. I am so happy to hear your new job is trying to work with you, that is awesome! Keep us informed.
Pantufas, getting worried about you, hope you are doing okay!
The rest of the Butt Fondlers, sending you warm wishes and a sunshine day.
Janet0
