Hey all. Just thought I should check in for the holidays. Still doing well from Oregon. I also quit smoking weed over a year ago, joined a gym and am exercising regularly along with golf, cooking, baking, and just living. Retirement right now is great except I have to do all the housework since my wife still works.

Cindi, I see that you are a moderator now. Nice that you are carrying on the message with the help of some older quitters. I hope work and Ohio are treating you well. Have a very merry holiday and we have to stay in touch when we can.

I didn't see Denims posts for November and wondering if she is still involved. I emailed her last week directly and haven't heard back. Hope she is well.

Marilyn, I haven't heard from you for a while and hope you are doing well in your new digs. How is retirement treating you. I also wish you a happy holiday. Please get back to me if you see this, I would love hearing from you.

Take care you all, stay strong and breathe deep. Isn't smoke free great??!!

Hey Brian!  Thanks for checking in...it's GREAT to see you!  Yes Denim is still the Forum owner...she's just been dealing with some personal things.  Actually I have too in that my dad passed away this week.  Mom is still not in the greatest health either so I get to deal with all these fun things that come along with this challenge.  It's been a pretty rough couple weeks (years). :( 

Haven't seen Marilyn in a while so I hope she checks in soon too.  Glad you are enjoying your retirement and hope you have a great holiday season!  Don't be a stranger!

I am so sorry to hear about your father but think about how fortunate your mother is to have you there to help share the sorrow and burden of his passing. What an additional chore to deal with along with the holidays.  My thoughts will be with you and your family.

I won't expound during this reply, but let's catch up after the first of the year. Please take care and I hope you have a better holiday season going forward.
