I have been fighting for years. Proudly standing beside many of you, we have fought fiercely for Tobacco Harm Reduction. We have perfected trolling. We can cite a study in our sleep. We can spot the enemy from a mile away. We despise the other side.

They call themselves Public Health and Tobacco Control. We put our guard up as fast as theirs goes up over the scent of Big Tobacco being within arms length of anything.
It's been war for as long as we can remember. We're pissed that many of them won't change their minds.

108 years ago today, my father in law was born. He passed away at the ripe old age of 100. He was more of a dad to me than my dad ever was. I took care of Jim for many years as Alzheimer's took him from us. RIP my scrappy little Irishman. I miss you!!

Jim (my FIL) was the same age as my grandparents. My husband's brother was 9 years older than my husband and 9 years younger than my mom.

My stepdaughter is 9 years older than my son.
My father in law and my mom's parents were all born in 1913.
Thank-you, Miles, for recognizing I'm trying to be reasonable in my conversations about topics really important to me. Things like THR, kindness, and respect.

What breaks my heart is that some of you have not shown others the level of respect you've shown me. I am no more/less deserving of that than anyone else.

Wednesday is Mark's 2 weeks since dose #2, when he should be fully protected. We've socially distanced in our own home since COVID hit, due to his health issues.
Frankly, this has been a bitch.
The man has the world's strongest arms. They are my safe place. They are where I know everything is going to be OK. They are my battery charger, my soul refresher, my strength builder, and my confidence booster.

It's hitting me hard teaching a couple of old ladies how to make their own e-liquids. The reality of this industry being so close to death is taking my breath away tonight. No FDA authorizations and staring at a tax so big it will be cheaper for some people to smoke. 1/
The 2 ladies are adorable. One is 72 years old and the other won't say her age. She just winks and says she's the "wiser sister". They are both widowed and live together. The live an hour away, and come here once a month to buy supplies.

I no longer have the liquid they always buy. I haven't reordered liquid in weeks, since hearing of the first MDO in August. I'm so low volume, I can't risk financially getting stuck with product. My lease is up at the end of the year, it looks like I won't be renewing it.

I'm having way too much fine with a time converter website. Boggles my mind that later today, it will be tomorrow in Australia. I wonder if there's ever a time when it's yesterday, today, and tomorrow all at once?
Off to look at a map! LOL Because I really need to know this.
I really don't do math. Or I should say my brain doesn't. If there's 1 day difference when you cross the international date line and there's 24 time zones then I'm going to guess there is no yesterday, today, and tomorrow at the same time. Correct me if I'm wrong. 2/
I found a flower that's called Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow because it's 3 shades of purple at once. HA! I did prove to myself that YTT do exist at one time, it just wasn't in the way I expected. Life's great!
This is my #ADHD brain having fun. IDK why I confuse people! LOL 3/3
