Hello Beth, I had to comment on your post. Kudos.. I certainly don't want any part of Chantix. .. I did not react well to that. I tried patches right before this mess, and poof. Yea, I reverted and gave up. I'll have to give it another go when this clears up. Unfortunately, it sounds like your a bit tied to Ohio... and Texas surely has snakes... sigh. Lol. You sound like a woman with a strong personality, great sense of humor, and overall positive attitude. I'm working on my place, 15 acres, chickens, hogs, and dogs. Looking for a milk cow, or possibly goats.. rather have a cow... lol. I'm not off grid, but live frugally, and I hardly notice I haven't been to the store in over 2 months, lol. Hope this clears up soon, so I can visit friends etc. Take care, and good luck with everything there.
