If you have any of 'em, hang onto them for a while. Collectors items big time!! The wife got the last box of this stuff with her photo on the box and is saving it. The name stays for now but her image has been fired! Poor old Aunt Jemima 😞 I been looking at her happy face for many decades now and never once had a thought about her color. To me her image just represented good food at home from a trusted product. Now; they're blowin' all that up! Thanks guys 😒 RIP A.J.

2 points @Boo 1. If you decide to give up your Braves Tomahawk at any point. promise me I get first dibs 👍 2. Didn't Tennessee sell Cleveland to Ohio at some point? I'm a little rusty on my Merican geography 😆 PS: Your activist lady is likely in the 6 figure category I expect! As Rodney Dangerfield would have said; 'Easy Money'!

15 Huh?

Nope!

Yeah, I heard they're thinking about banning White, Black & Yellow car colors soon too 😂🤣

What the fruck is wrong with people these days? They're ditching a bunch of Dr. Seuss books after they formed a 'Board of People With Nothing Better To Do' who decided that certain of his books were now inappropriate for kids. Of course! Dr. Seuss books turning kids into hateful criminals for decades now - Geez! It's the same with all the ruckus over sports team names and what not. Ban the Tomahawk Chop!! Let's make sure those horrible sports fans don't step on any toes while celebrating 😮 We have a football team here in Canada called the Edmonton Eskimos. WAIT!! OMG; Eskimos? What were they thinking. That's a horrible name to call an Eskimo! We gotta make them change that name right away! Here's the literal translation: "Eskimo" is derived from a Montagnais (Innu) word ayas̆kimew meaning "netter of snowshoes." I'd be seriously crushed if someone called me "netter of snowshoes"! How dare you!! Geez people. Take a pill and loosen your sphincter a little. Let's maybe spend more time trying to eliminate poverty in the world. You know, something actually important!

^^^ THIS! You get it. Carry on to freedom!

Big congrats Jimmy to you & your lady 8 is GREAT!

Hey Joan! Welcome to Quit Train. This is a great place for support from other quitters who really do "get it" in terms of all the crap you're going through as a quitter. We've all been there - wanting to rip someone a new one over almost nothing and feeling like our head is in a tailspin all day long. The symptoms aren't a pleasure that's for sure but keep in mind, they're only temporary. A solid quit will last a lifetime! Lots of resources here too that may help you find you way easier. Feel free to come here and unload your anger and frustrations. We'll try and help you along.

Glad your mother is back to normal Boo. I can relate to your story as well Mona. My MIL died a few years back of Alzheimer's. Terrible disease that starts out innocently enough with a few forgetful moments and marches relentless onward, slowly changing that person into someone completely unfamiliar all that knew them. I can't think of another disease that affects the entire family as drastically as Alzheimer's does.

Welcome to Quit Train Amy! Sounds like you have your quit well in hand, considering you've only been quit for just over a month 👍 By the way, we share the same date Jan. 29th 😀 You've obviously still got a way to go still in getting completely used to life as a nonsmoker but you're right ..... you're gonna love all the things you will do as a nonsmoker. Nothing like finding your freedom again to really show us just how enslaved we were as smokers. Great work so far and happy 1st month!

Yes, addiction is an amazing entity when it comes to trying to end your relationship with it. It's like your brain is divided in two. Logical side and junkie side and there's a very real battle being waged for quit a while. The key is to make sure you delay any actions you take until the logical side has a chance to weigh in. Small peppermint candies were my constant companion for the whole first year I was quitting and I don't think I had ever had one before then lol. Haven't had one since either. Guess it was just my go to for keeping my mouth occupied.
