5 @reciprocity you sneaky stick ! @G67 do you still have your accent ?

This is a good lesson for all of us, @Kdad Addiction doesn't go away. It can activate in a heartbeat. Your are still fresh in your first year but temptations will get weaker and weaker. It is just that they can come up any time, unannounced and unwanted. This is why I keep NOPE as my first response, always. You are doing great, don't be discouraged. We have to learn to live with the insidiousness of addiction and it gets easier and easier.

4 @G67 no, I'm not from CA but, spent a few years in Venice, a few on the Coastal Range in Sonoma County and a few more in SF/Monterey. are you from out there ?

Educate yourself, this will give you power.

Perhaps, only I need Tase-ing Taser

3 too crowded, indeed. L.A. is extreme, S.F. is too now... NOLA has changed so much since Katrina and turning into anywhere USA the good old days were really good.

3 nice. nice ocean. nice mountains.

3 I do get tired of dealing with amateur drinkers and idiot tourists so, swerve around all that mostly. Where in L.A. are you. I lived in Venice a long time ago...71 ?

-3 well, there is certainly fun to be had at any hour on any day.

-3 I have no holiday plans for tomorrow. It will be good when most of the revelers leave the French Quarter Tuesday. It's been heaving.

3 do you have a holiday tomorrow ?

3 just as things were going somewhere....I think I'll have a sip of something...get me back into the nice

3 I left it to you...

3 who left the door open for more sticks ?

3 I'm sweating watching Levi's Hurricane update, also.

1 the 'hot' sign is out again

1 of course you will !

1 I promise not to make too much noise....don't want to alert Reci. Holding off the slaughter, as it were.

1 Laughed out loud at that, G...I don't mind as long as I can't see them. There's always someone watching.

1 you and me and three hundred million lurkers

1 hello, G. Glad you came out to play or slaughter as the case may be

I just found these folks.

Cold Turkey on a whim. The whim quickly turned into a personal challenge to myself. I thought, 'I'll try this for a year and see what the year brings' Educating myself about nicotine addiction was the seminal component to my quit. After a few days, I knew I was never going to smoke again.
