Boo

-5 Speaking of sticks and stones...check out the bow drill this guy put together.

-3 If you take the sum of 25 or 6 to 4, divide that by 69, and factor in that the groundhog saw his shadow this morning...this game makes perfect sense.

-5 According to my calculations, his math looks right to me.

Same here Pedro. Even in the earliest days of my quit, being around smokers didn't bother me for whatever reason. I expected that to be a major trigger, turns out it wasn't a problem. Just take it as it comes and remain calm when those addiction thoughts start clanging around in your head. The decision has been made, smoking is not an option.

Welcome back, or in the case of those of us who are relatively new here, nice to meet you. Quitting and relapsing is a hamster wheel many of us wasted time on. Then, you make the choice once and for all and take your life back. Good work hopping back on the Train...enjoy the ride.

Two-months already? You're doing great.

The beginnings of a rock solid quit. Good work Jackie.

NOPE!

Oh! How's everybody doing today?

Note to self: interject politics into the chicks or sticks game and Petra will stay away.

My only regret is that I have but two middle fingers to give. This guy, I'll call him chucklenuts to protect his anonymity, got his feelings hurt because I declined his invitation to the Super Bowl party him and his wife are hosting. I politely declined, but he persisted with a line of stupid questioning. So I had to explain that I don't enjoy Super Bowl parties. I like football and want to watch the game not the commercials. Besides that, I'm not a fan of forced merriment. Long story short, he's all huffy now and thinks I'm a jerk. A middle finger for that guy. All of these people who are apoplectic about the current state of politics and won't shut up about it. Look, I get it...I disagree with a lot of stuff the government does and I'm not a fan of the Democrats or Republicans. The thing is, I don't interject my opinions into every conversation and demand that people listen to my grievances when they've got other things on their mind. And I certainly don't block traffic standing in the middle of the road regurgitating some stupid chant. Who has time for that shit? A big middle finger to the whole lot of 'em. I would also like to extend a middle finger to this computer. Updates. Notices. I need to restart the computer. Would you like to shut the computer down now? No...would you like me to remind you later? Leave me alone computer, I've had about enough of your nagging.

You'll be fine Jackie. You've got a solid quit going and typically the anticipation is worse than the actualization. Socializing without smoking is better anyway. You can actually socialize rather than wasting your time smoking or looking for a break in the action to step out for another cigarette.

Welcome aboard Pedro. Three-weeks of freedom is a fine start, congratulations.

Good work lad. Congratulations.

NOPE!

You gotta have the yin to appreciate the yang...

#1 Poor chicks...never saw it coming.

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend...
