We Quit Cigarettes

So, maybe you could be the Wicked witch of the north, and Wicked is the Good witch of the north. Or you can fight. You should definitely fight.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Might be good to take it 'offline'(PM).

This sounds amazing!!

It was! I've been close to it a few times, since, but have never quite reached that "one-with-the-world" pinnacle again. Still, hope springs eternal, so I'll keep trying!

I couldn't remember if you did end up getting it out or not.

I got news for you missy...I still have to weed with mulch.

Yes I know.
My parents put their free child labour to good use on their mulched beds when I was growing up.
But it helps, and I got some ground cover plants to fill in the void.

Congrats on defeating the beast!

Thanks.
We duct taped up the spines and my father in law chained it to his truck to tear it out. Kind of felt like a mafia job.

DH had to stop all his supplements when he got his bone marrow transplant. So many meds interact unpredictably with so many supplements that the docs often have no way of knowing which ones can play nice with which (or which combination of) others.

Unless you have a specific diagnosed lack in some area, it's pretty easy to supply many times your RDA with diet alone. Some exceptions are vitamin D if you don't get much sun exposure (like you live in the friggin' FROZEN NORTH like we do ) and (for menstruating women in particular) iron. Eat a "rainbow" of healthy foods and you won't need supplements with those two possible exceptions. This assumes you don't abuse alcohol, tobacco, weed, other drugs, and don't have health issues requiring additional nutrients.

Awesome. Double points for clever use of duct tape

No, not I.

I know cassettes do. There's folks out there like me that prefer analog. Check out how expensive cassettes are getting on ebay. Artists are also starting to offer their music on cassette again. This crowder cassette (wifes) is brand new she got it at his last concert here about a month ago. I collect old stuff but it's making a resurgence

Yes! Cassettes and vinyls have made a big comeback. Vinyls more than cassettes but both are back. I have several of both haha

If you smoke....no amount of sun is going to make up your vitamin D deficiency.
I live outdoors.

I actually was going to see if my vit. D level would come up on its own after I quit smoking.
I'm going to find out on Tuesday how much it's going to cost me to run that one test again in a few months.
If it isn't ridiculous I'm doing it....I won't take the supplement and see just how bad the smoking affected mine.

I love experiments.
I hope the test is cheap.
