The way this was done, gabayeah, was highly suspicious. Instead of introducing yourself and letting us learn about you and your quit, you jumped right into the posts of two of our most vulnerable members. Red flags came up for me and others. This may be a case of shooting the messenger but, we are protective of each other. That is how it should be. Sorry if feathers were ruffled, please take the time and introduce yourself if you decide to stay. There are many paths to the center. S edited to add: Apologies to Evelyn that her thread was gangstered.

Remember, there is an 'ignore' feature, Evelyn, and please keep posting. S

-18 OK Cakes, I didn't like the outfit I was cross dressing in anyway :P

put your used tea bags in the freezer and lay them on your eyes.

Wrap your quilts around you and feel secure. Remember, you are loved and admired ! S

Be Kind to yourself, Ev. You are a very special person and worthy of all the Joy this world can offer. Today is a crap day, no doubt. I am so proud of you for Not Smoking. Take a nice hot shower and go tuck yourself into bed with some sleepy time tea. Tomorrow is another day.

OK, I have on Trousers (top button open) , a wife-beater, slippers and a fake beard. Holding a can of suds on the sofa and scratching myself peacefully. -15 :P

Rage on, Ev. Go DO something physical, bike, run around, run in place. Take a shower and scream. Try to exhaust yourself with physical activity. Give your poor head a rest. Things will always be coming up but, You never have to smoke again. Ever. Hang in there. You will get through this. S

-15 should I dress in drag to give us some competition ? :P

Here are some tips from the QTrain on what helped us in the first days

Gloworm ! Is this your Happy Day ? The day you get your Freedom back ? Where y'at ?

N O P E

I was asking Jen about weather in the cool, clear North and thanking her because she is one of the mods who, I believe, make spam evaporate. Surprised to hear it is so hot ! Humid weather, gah, for you too, Joe. Happy to hear that you do the meet and greet, how nice ! Off to dream now, I think the Chicks are safe for a few. -6

-5 how's the weather in your neighborhood, J ? and hey, thanks for always being on spam patrol ! Y'all do a great job.

-4 I know, Pork 'n Cakes ! make no never mind, you will get the next one. shouldn't you be sleeping ?

Well, so much for my Idyll. Two nice fat Rats visited my courtyard this morning at 8am. Now, I know we are never far from Rats here (or anywhere, really) BUT Daylight ? and Daylight while I am making noise out there ? This is just WRONG. Couldn't be More Wrong. Rats saucily cavorting without a care in the world ! I stomped and Barked my fierce big dog bark and they squeezed under the fence into neighbor's courtyard. So, I changed into clothes and took a hotter than gawd stroll to the hardware store for Delicious rodentia POISON (and a lot of it). Sorry to those who would trap and release...I am in a Cold Blooded Murder frame of mind. What am I doing this weekend ? Why, I'm on Rat Patrol, of course ! At least, the champagne has chilled. :)

-2 hi jen and meow beacon

Joe ! You ROGUE ! -19

For those of you 'romancing' or hesitant to let go of nicotine addiction. Great post from Soberjulie...an Excellent essay from Joel Spitzer

-19 you're right. Joe is not poor in spirit either :) I guess you were taking a beating, P 'n' Cakes here for a while ! Go get em, bebe

you, just named the notes of the open strings on guitar. chords are when you press down a bunch of strings to make a 'chord'. F and B chords are more difficult than an E, D, G, C or an A chord, those positions with your fingers are simpler.

-17 oh poor Joe
