Reciprocity

Yeah. One minute you're just relaxing on the beach and the next you're defending yourself against a beach umbrella attack

Thinking maybe I'll stop going to the beach. Of all the ways I ever thought I might die, this ain't one of 'em https://globalnews.ca/news/9055639/woman-dies-impaled-beach-umbrella-south-carolina/

Does if look like this?

Irritability, anxiousness & restlessness were my least favorite quit symptoms when I was in the early days of my quit. The main thing that I turned to was breaking away from whatever situation that was causing me grief and doing some deep breathing in order to calm myself although, fisting a few peeps in the face may have also felt pretty good - until I was arrested for assault You know it's true though that all quit symptoms eventually disappear completely yet the many benefits you'll receive by quitting remain with you for life!

Pretty sure I have too

It's not just the carcinogens in cigarettes that can kill us and others around us. I've heard of people falling asleep and their smoldering cigarette igniting a fire but I've never heard of this one https://barrie.ctvnews.ca/combustible-potting-materials-to-blame-for-deadly-gravenhurst-blaze-1.5951878

One of my best quit benefits too Funky!! Travelling is a lot more pleasant as a non-smoker. A year or so before my quit we flew to Istanbul from Toronto - 10 hrs. non-stop. Major nico-withdrawal BIG TIME! Think I almost knocked the wife over trying to get outside to have a smoke once we landed So nice to have those years in the rearview mirror now

Oh WOW! Half a Year already! This is a special celebration as it marks that 1/2 year point. Keep doing what you're doing and before you know it, you'll be relaxing on that Lido Deck in another 6 months

Hey @andyc941! Good to see you again Go Sticks - lol! Nope! Want to see more sunsets! Pic from end of the street - Sunset; Lake Ontario 8/05/22 8:45 PM

I always heard the water swirled in the opposite direction Northern to Southern hemisphere but yeah; who knows? I can tell you from experience though that I (along with 20 or 30 other nutters) stood on the deck of a ship at noon as the ship was crossing the Equator right around March 21st to see if we cast any shadows and we did not! Not sure what that proves but seemed like a cool idea at the time? (May have been alcohol involved in this experiment!)
