What?
Oh, I thought you were talking to me! "Hic" is my handle on the Distilling Group I belong to. ha!
So I was trying to figure out what the acronym HIC stands for, Addie. Duh! Excuse me while I slap my palm to my forehead. I'm developing a callus on my palm.
Hello. The furnace on my house died yesterday. I needs a new one. Furnace guy can't get there until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately, my daughter and her mother are gone for the holidays so no one is in the house. Except the cat. I am going there everyday to feed him and turn on heaters if necessary. It could be worse. We are having a mild winter so far. But, still, 3,500 balloons at xmas. And me not working full time. Darn! Thankfully, we have a bit tucked away in a rainy day account. Big bummer. I may have to go and get a real job sooner than planned.

Ughhhh.... I hope it gets sorted out soon! I remember when i lived in NY years ago andt the hot water tank went. I had heat, but no hot water. It's so sweet of you to keep the cat taken care of. My thoughts are with you.Hello. The furnace on my house died yesterday. I needs a new one. Furnace guy can't get there until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

So I sent Christmas cookies to my parents. I didn't know at the time my brother was flying out (he lives near me--he could've taken the cookies instead of having to send them UPS). I called to make sure the package arrived--my mother is hiding the cookies in the bathroom (dementia is an issue with her) and my brother is complaining about his allergies...wish I was the one celebrating Christmas with my parents. ARGGH!
Thanks. But it is 20 years old and has served us well. Time for a new one. I knew after last year that it was starting to go. May as well put the money towards a new one and not spend it on repairs that may only give it another season..What's wrong with it Rock? I might know s/one who could fix it.
Congrats on quitting! It's among the hardest things I've had to do.
Don't feel bad that you haven't seen significant improvement. That just means you weren't in terrible shape from smoking yet. Focus on the fact that you are much healthier now and have greatly reduced your risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Just as you couldn't see the damage smoking was doing internally, you can't see the improvements.
When I successfully lost weight a few years ago, it was by eating less food and starting a daily walking program. I specifically avoided a low carb diet because I like carbs. I ate everything I always ate. I just ate less of it.
