Hi @greenpea yes, I am back.
Have been snowed for a while and not had capacity to check in, but recently had a meltdown and quit my job so some more brain space to check in again.

@PeppyPatti . Last year I quit smoking cigarettes and swapped to vaping. My chronic cough stopped. But I still have COPD and only 65% lung capacity. This year I haven't made a dent in stopping or even cutting down on the Vapes. It's very hard.

@Gibbs i will do as you say and as i do these sayings i will imagine you doing the same in front of me. I think i know what you look like at least in my imagination. Leos have fair thick hair often wavy. intense eyes often light in colour like grey/blue. strong bone structure with a beautiful smile and tall. is that right?
