FIRST PLACE
you must be proud, though i think the runner up should've won it
That third place woman ought to gently place her bundle on top of that man's head. Maybe the cigarette will then catch it on fire.
Dang that was a wicked thought on an otherwise thankful day. :D

:lol: :lol:
He is even smoking :01:
I noticed that right off. :D She is working, he gets to smoke.
Noticed I changed my sig to 'kindness matters' and the first thing I posted was rather bitchey?
Not nice today, I guess. :huh:
I think I must have missed that, 'Rose.Quote:

Kindess does matter tho' - used sparingly and with much consideration such that those less scrupulous than yourself will not consider you a soft touch ;)
Where did you get pictures of my last 3 boyfriends? :blink:

One good thing, last Sunday Eve as I was sitting on the front step of the hospital right under the American Flag and the snow was falling down around me (little touch of the atmosphere there, and the dramatic. :blushing: ) I made the decision that something had to change....so am going to quit the smoking......tis the one thing I can and will control. :D
And as far as the 'soft touch?' Never fear......people usually reconsider when they have been touched by my occasional thorn. :lol:
And the babe? How is he this fine day?
:D
I am glad to hear that tho' I was unaware that you weren't feeling so good. It is also good to read about you giving up smoking, I'm afraid that we're in the same boat. I gave up initially last March, just before the babe was born - he is blooming, incidently. Thank you for asking :flowers:
My non-smoking status lapsed more than a month back, but I'm back suffering with the cravings now and have been for a little under 2 weeks. It's not pleasant but, like you, I think I'll succeed. Eventually :lol:
They say the important thing is not to 'quit' quitting, Manker. Now that is an adjustment for me. All my life I am told not to be a 'quitter'........stay right in there........don't give up! Now I am trying to say 'keep quitting, keep quitting, keep quitting!!' :lol:
Dang. 'Quit' has such a clear, concise, snapping sound to it, doesn't it? :blink:
Manker, while in the hospital, they had me wear this little heart monitor. (No heart problems, that was checked out very thoroughly, and mine is working great, but they made me wear one anyway.) Anyway, I 'snuck' out about six times during my stay for a quick smoke outside. They finally told me I wasn't fooling anyone, that while outside smoking, my monitor beeped at their desk and drove them crazy as my heart rate went up considerably each time I smoked. :D Kind of showed me the effect it does have on you, though. :unsure:
It surely does. If only the reality of it were the same - once you've quit, there is no going back. Regarding other things too, not just smoking.
I fear I may be a slave to the weed until such a time as it's banned in my local pub, that's the only place my defences seem to slip :(
I think I understand what you are saying, Manker. Sometimes, the habits, the friends, the good moments and memories and the haunts are lost, too, in making such a change? :( ................
It is a scary thing to start making new ones of all the above.
:) But a challenge, too, no?
A rough one for me is Mr. Cloud smokes. Tis a hard thing. I don't want to become a nagging reformed smoker. He lives here too, and has his rights.
HEY!!!! I think I figured it out, Manker. I need to find me a 'smokeless' pub where I can spend some time in! :lol: :lol:
I am looking forward to becoming a nagging ex-smoker :D
You're right though in both instances of what you say above, it is a challenge - and one that I am inspired by ... sometimes. Often though, since I'm not prepared to change my lifestyle dramatically, the temptation to light up while drinking gets the better of me.
It's going to be a bit tricky for you too if Mr Cloud (curious pet name :D ) continues to smoke indoors but you seem a lot more confident that I at this moment. Is there no possibility you could turn him into a porch smoker?
Very strong possibility. He has already volunteered to not smoke in the house. That will help a lot. We smoke a lot on the patio with our coffee, though. :( I will have to avoid the patio for awhile. Or take some carrots or something to munch on.
:ohmy: Oh my gosh. Carrots. Relish Plate. Thanksgiving Dinner at my parents.
I need to get myself and my relish plate I am taking ready. I am late!!!!
Have a great Thanksgiving Day everyone!
Later!!
We dont celebrate it here, but have a good one Everose :)
