    Tell your son to keep working on that GED. My son was home schooled and at that time the way a home schooled kid got a diploma in my state was to pass the GED.

    My son is now 40 and based on his GED he got a degree and is an archaeologist. Now working on his Masters.

    So the bear hunt that I was supposed to go on with my friend Susan Aikens up at Kavik River Camp a few years ago but was postponed due to her major snowmachine accident? It's finally back on. I leave on Thursday.

    She got this one about a week and a half ago.

    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Yea I know that the forum doesn't support Facebook videos but none of my friends have posted any of these to youtube lol. I've been getting to perform with a band called Dead Calm. It's really just them hosting an open mic night. Super fun.

    Happy Thanksgiving buddies. Hope you all had a good one. This was the first one in the house. I have no idea how I used to fit 11 people in my 700 sq. ft. cabin because I could barely fit 12 in my 1500 sq. ft. house. But it was a great day filled with friends who are family, food, music, Cards Against Humanity (an adult card game) and pies. Sooo many pies!

    Trying to keep things warm.

    Even though I had taken our coats and put them upstairs, there were too many coats. I needed to paint the entryway anyways.

    As a roller derby girl, I've never even ice skated. This video shows some awesome back country ice skating here in Alaska. Lots of gorgeous scenery.

    My wife and I used to skate back in the day. In fact, the kids were talking about their mom's skates over Thanksgiving. I have never heard of or thought of 'wild ice'. If she were still alive and we were 20 somethings again that would be on our list for sure. Thanks for sharing that. It brought back some really great memories and a couple of tears!!

    Ugh, I've been sick. Too sick. On the mend but I now have a smoking quit date of March 1st. I'm posting it here because I am counting on everyone I know to help hold me accountable. I have tried many times and every method, literally, with limited and then ultimately no success. This time I am using a program and a doctor with a 50% success rate and Chantix, and probably will throw in some hypnotherapy to be able to withstand the terrible nausea that the Chantix causes.

    I'll use the time before March 1 to start cutting back. And frankly there is no way for me to be successful until our daylight gets back to a bit happier level and I can get outside more to distract myself.

    Happy Solstice!

    Every one that you light up between now and then tell yourself "this is the one that is going to kill me". By the time March 1 rolls around you will be so sick of them that quitting will be easy. I went through the same thing and finally starting telling myself that and the day I finally quit I never looked back. I assimilated myself into the roll.
