4.5 years and still not smoking

Debra F. posted an article on - Dec 12, 2011, 12:16 am
It's been a very long time since I've blogged and I want to apologize to all the wonderful men and women I met during my quit. I wouldn't be here without your support. The plan is to be a lifetime quitter.....hmmm, somehow that doesn't sound as positively as I said it. I'm living life with oxygen a...

Start Again?

Debra F. posted an article on - Jan 6, 2010, 3:06 pm
I started blogging essentially when I quit smoking more than two years ago - OMG, it's actually been that long, I'm amazed. I'm still quit and finally at peace with not being a smoker anymore. The last year however has brought health challenges to my husband and I and I have not dealt with m...

I want to apologize to all those blogs I drop on everyday but today EC was down the vast majority of the day and now when I have some time the day is almost over and I won't get everyone done - I'm very sorry! What happened with EC anyway - anyone know for certain?

From Howdy Doody to Erectile Dysfunction

Debra F. posted an article on - Aug 17, 2009, 8:36 am
I enjoy watching “some” television but I’m increasingly disillusioned with the advertising and the programing of most channels. No doubt I should remind you that I’m 54 years old and started out young with no television in the house and black and white picture when we finally did get TV, a...

What I think about paying for healthcare

Debra F. posted an article on - Aug 12, 2009, 1:02 pm
So much debate (as there should be) on health care reform and it's gotten me to thinking about why there are so many people that feel that health care should be inexpensive if not free. Yes we have health care but we pay a pretty penny for that care/policy. We have an HMO and although it doesn't c...

What Do You Think Is Your Responsibility?

Debra F. posted an article on - Aug 5, 2009, 5:12 pm
I was reading a post on another blog and the blogger was talking about it being her responsibility to leave her children/grandchildren an inheritance. I'm wondering if this is the case in different countries. I thought Wow, I'll leave enough to pay whatever debt I may still have at the time and lea...

Who Else Has Experience with Pristiq?

Debra F. posted an article on - Jul 27, 2009, 11:05 am
Because the anti-anxiety/panic attack meds my PCP put me on initially didn't work he put me on Pristiq which is more of an anti-depressant and supposedly much like Effexor (which I've been on in the past). Anyway, this post is about the side effects which to me are plentiful and much more than I've...

Meds took away one issue and gave me a much bigger one

Debra F. posted an article on - Jul 21, 2009, 8:56 pm
(Actually I feel a lot better since I ran out of those pills you prescribed me) I was experiencing some panic/anxiety attacks recently (since starting pulmonary rehab actually) and so my doctor prescribed Ativan/Lorazapam/Xanax, all kinda the same stuff. Well the panic attacks subsided and I starte...

Who Should Be Cleaning Up This Mess?

Debra F. posted an article on - Jul 19, 2009, 2:52 pm
I'm tired of everywhere I drive seeing scenes like this, people just discarding their trash out their windows, flies out of the back of their pick ups, or is just simply dumped by the trash bag load. Why isn't the city or the state cleaning this up? Why can't all the people getting public assistanc...

32 Years of Wedded Bliss

Debra F. posted an article on - Apr 23, 2009, 12:30 pm
This was us (and our parents) 32 years ago today. Young and Naive didn't even come close in expressing our love. My father told me early on to judge how a marriage is going by deciding if there were more good days than bad - and the good days have out weighed the bad many times over. I love my husb...

We drove half way to meet our children today to pick up Rudy while they (our son and DIL) enjoyed some adult time at a very nice resort. This is our first time to babysit Rudy solo at our home. He's such a sweet spirited little boy, eats well, plays well, and hopefully sleeps well ;). We got home...

Not Doing The Paid Advertising with EC

Debra F. posted an article on - Apr 12, 2009, 5:23 pm
Okay, I did the paid advertising with Entrecard for a week and now I'm going to go the other way and for the time being stay with merely Entrecard Adverts (the kind that give me and my advertiser credits). I am not accepting any paid advertising through EC at the current time. I wish there was a wa...

How Do I Get Rid of These Lines?

Debra F. posted an article on - Mar 28, 2009, 10:36 pm
I'm almost 54 and I need a rescue for the lines/wrinkles on my face, especially those around my mouth (not the smoking lines above my lips - damn cigarettes) but those on either side of my mouth and of course the lines under and on the sides of my eyes. I'll admit that I've always been on the tom-bo...
