While I'm new, I've been lurking so long that I feel like I know all of you that are long-time posters here.

Not only am I a proud mom to all my villagers, I'm also a proud mom of my 9 cats! The oldest is 16. She has diabetes, but is still in good health otherwise. The youngest three are sisters and they are 9. The rest of them are stairstepped in ages.

My age is 50 and I'm disabled with COPD. That's a combination of Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema. I have the Emphysema part and yes, it was caused by smoking. PLEASE, PLEASE don't any of you start smoking. If you already do please quit because the symptoms start showing up LONG before you normally get diagnosed. I'm on oxygen at night and if I do anything strenuous. You definitely don't want to wind up in my condition, that's for sure!!!

That's enough about me, and probably TMI for some.

Hope to get to know everyone a LOT better soon. OH, I won't be here for awhile once VV3 makes it appearance. I want to try to solve all the puzzles myself. If I come here I'm such a wimp that I KNOW I'd look at the answers and then I'll get mad at myself!! LOL

Happy Day!!
