Reasonable? That's reasonable?! I call reasonable the Dr that got DH stabilized when he had that heart attack. There was constant EKG and BP machines going, along with IV and nitro therapy while they worked on him - 3 doctors by his side and 1 technician. Total cost? Just under $300. The hospital and the rest of the Drs? Well, that's another whole story. And we'll be paying on that until 2028 unless DH becomes unemployed for as least 3 months. something we plan on happening fairly soon

65 on January 4th, so I win. Happy Birthday. My biggest joy is going to clients on public transportation which is free in my state when you hit 65. Sober 37 yrs last December 13th. Married 35 yrs on May 20th of this year, (unless she wakes up and realizes the mistake she made) and smoke free for 1yr on March 2oth this year. Vaping has made a marked difference in my life and this place and the people here have made it possible.

WARNING: My period of silence is over. Verbal diarrhea has returned. Sorry.

I absolutely love the "family" vibe I get when I visit this site. I look forward to participating here.
