Sorry, it's been awhile, but there was a death in the family.

Haven't blogged for a few weks, but I was mourning the sudden passing of the Patch. I didn't know if it would be worth writing, since I doubt anyone would be reading. Can't hurt though. Let's get this out of the way right of the bat...I'm still smoking. The wife and I have decided to go with the e-cigarette,. I will have to finish this later, since Madelyn is having a fit about me using her tablet. Madelyn is my 13-year-old step-daughter. Although I bend over backwards to let her use my phone, she refuses to let me use her tablet without a fight . Somethings never change. Madelyn is still emulating her mother's bad behavior, such as talking over me when I hve an issue about something, being flagrantly unreasonable and refusing to stop using the word "whatever." Well, that's actually more her mother's thing. Actually, most of the problems around here go back to her mother. If anyone who is, let's say, a licensed therapist and is familiar with my situation were to read this, feel free to let me know via the comments section. Oh yeah, we will talk about the e-cig search next time. Meanwhile...have a happy Thanksgiving.
