That's a tremendous milestone, Evelyn, and you handled it beautifully! You are now stronger in your quit because of it. You go, girl!

This "cows, cows, cows" video is incredible! It's the most creative thing I've seen in a long while. Super cool! But I shudder to think what it must be like to live inside the artist's head (his name is Cyriak by the way).

Ross, if you type the image code: [#img=http://insertURL/]your photo will appear. InsertURL is the complete URL of the photo like you posted it just a minute ago and be sure to include the opening and closing brackets. (NOTE: remove the hash mark (#)from the image code. That is only there to prevent the forum software from blocking this post.) When I use the [img...] code I get the following:

George of the Jungle Your first?

I'm so sorry, Nancy. Your brother looks like a fine man! You must miss him a lot. I wish I was with you so I could give you a big hug. (((NANCY!! )))

Hit the road, Jack! what is your favorite holiday?

If you're only going to have one main reason, that's a good one! So the next time you're sorely tempted to smoke, say to yourself: "I'm NOT going to smoke because I want to be strong and healthy and vigorous again. I want that more than I want to smoke." Repeating that to yourself several times while you are deep breathing will REALLY help to control your cravings. You go, girl! :)

I'm leaving on a jet plane Who is your favorite singer?

Good job, Wendy! That was perfect! Step away from the situation, breathe deeply for a few minutes, feel yourself calming down. Perfect! The one thing you forgot was to remind yourself of the 3 main reasons you quit smoking in the first place. That really strengthens your rational brain when you junkie brain thinks it has the upper hand. Having been through this once you now know that you can do it again. This is a BIG victory for you. You are rockin' this quit!

Monday, Monday What is your favorite method of transportation?

Marti, twenty years ago I had a disabled person in my party when we went to Disney World. I called the park and was told not to park in the regular parking lot (which is HUGE!!) but to bring our car directly to the handicapped entrance and a valet would take it for us. I don't think it was free, but it sure was convenient. I do not know if Disney still offers this service and/or if any other parks offer it, but you could check.

Nope. We don't listen. Sweet 16 What is your favorite color?

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home. What is your favorite food?

I will survive! What is you favorite animal?

Doreen, when whoever-it-is finishes fixing whatever-it-is for you, will you please send him on to me? I have something that BADLY needs fixing! Thanks! :air_kiss:

Oh, Sandy, that's so great to hear! You must be very proud of yourself for setting a good example without nagging anybody else to quit. I hope and expect that you will have reason reserve a whole table on the Lido deck for next October! :)

One of the benefits of observing Passover-- no out-of-date flour! :)

Sue, you reminded me of something... One day about 15 years ago, my husband was telling me that when he was a teenager he was shocked and dismayed that his father could not name any of the Beatles; not ONE. So I asked my husband to name any of The Backstreet Boys; just ONE (they were all the rage at the time). Of course he couldn't. Such is life. :)

I assume that they are referring to Action's acknowledgments of their one-year anniversary messages to him.
