Reciprocity

Yeah - that's how it goes unfortunately We ALL go through that or similar. It's a matter of knowing they will come at you and you need to just mentally say "F-YOU!!" and ride it out when that stuff overcomes you without warning. Good news is, those episodes happen less frequently and with less intensity because you have been successful fighting them off so often. Eventually they just give up and die out. It's like everything in this quitting game tho. It happens so gradually you don't really notice big changes. It just gets gradually better and better. I still have smoking thoughts occasionally but now they are very infrequent and with a mental head shake, they're gone - no biggie Maybe think about flip-flops for the wedding. I hear they're in these days

I believe you have it correct except, the resulting face-off goes back to Team #1's end of the ice if Team #1 shot the puck into Team #2's end.

Yes, I believe you got the Offside Rule correct. No Offensive player can be over the oppositions Blue Line before the puck. If they are, the official stops play only when a player for the offensive team makes contact with the puck. If they don't make contact, it's a delayed offside. If all the offensive players get back over to their side of the oppositions blue line before they touch the puck then the delayed offside is waved off. Oh and years ago, there used to be a "2-line pass" offside rule. They got rid of that one though Now - splain "Icing" to us

5 Hey! I need my beauty sleep. Can't be hangin in here all hours of the day & night

Keep fighting the Good fight against this Evil addiction Ren! You're doing great

Wow! I'm in awe! 9 years smoke free is such an accomplishment. Congratulations Pattoola

Well done Farmgirl! 4 months smoke free is very respectable. Keep up the good work Don't forget to reward yourself!

I'm too lazy and stupid to learn new sports at this point. I don't even much care for the ones I have watched for years. I do like the Wilson's Prom beach pic though

And, what the heck's going on with this Las Vegas team? They are already ahead 4-0 in game 1 of their second series? I don't even recognize many names on this team so, how do they make it this far in their 1st year?? Beginner's luck?

I was just trying to get you riled up Jo - lol. I don;t even watch the North American sports much let alone the more "European" ones. Can't stand soccer because I don't understand the strategies etc and there's almost no scoring. On the other hand, I can't watch basketball either and the scoring there is almost meaningless it's so frequent. Isn't it nice that we have all this variety to choose from though? I used to watch golf too, back in the day when I played that game. Now - forget it!! Threw my clubs, bag and all in the bushes last time I played golf and drove away in my car without them. Just got pissed off with the game and have never played again

WTF's a Prom? Though that was a fancy school dance where girls had to wear a fancy dress or something? And by the way, Yes! If it's played on a field outdoors and people are not wearing any real sort of protective equipment and there doesn't appear to ever be any sort of scoring happening then, it's either rugby or soccer (which is the proper word for "football?). From what I've seen, those two sports are pretty much the same anyway except in soccer they appear to be a little more calm in their treatment of other players?

I didn't realize they had a whole Tee Pee & everything there at one time! Wow! When did they take that down? I'm guessing a while ago now? I remember a few years ago, Toronto Blue Jays were playing the Cleveland Indians in a first round series and a bunch of poke-nose, bone-heads in Toronto mounted a media campaign and appealed to MLB to have Cleveland wear different uniforms when they played in Toronto because their Indians logo was too offensive to Native Canadians! What? Really? It's a friggin logo. Who the "F" cares? Pretty sure Native Canadians didn't give a rat's behind I was never so embarrassed to be a Canadian as then.

OMG ..... PIZZA!!!!

I don't understand any of the rules of "rugby" as it's called here so watching it is difficult because I haven't a clue what they're doing or why but ..... I would agree it is probably the most physically demanding and brutal sport out there. They are all pretty demanding on a professional level but you wouldn't catch me on a rugby field for any amount of $$ - that's for sure

Oh well - Leafs are gone now so .......................... back to cheering on the Blue Jays at their baseball games. Seats there are way cheaper anyway which leaves more money for beer

That's kind of the thing with these drawn out hockey playoffs. No question it's generating a hell of a lot of $$$ for everyone. The league, the teams, the venues, the cities involved but holly hell - if you went 7 games for three series back to back to back - that's gotta be punishing. It's fast paced and not for the faint of heart either in terms of hitting and what not. They should probably have best of 5 game series for the first round or two but the revenue loss would be too much so that will never happen. A single game would never fly in hockey, basketball or baseball. Any team can have a sh*t game on any given day or night. The idea is to have the prize go to the most deserving team - not one who just happened to be firing on all cylinders for 1 game.

I don't know much about the Braves team but I love their Fans!!! Tomahawk-Chop is the bomb!! In today's "Politically Correct" world where everyone is walking on egg shells for fear of offending an entire race of people, they are showing us how you can still have some good natured fun!!

Hi Sslip!! What the hell happened here?? 13

T-Shirts are a cool idea I recommend this one next, if you can find it online? You could just have N.O.P.E. printed below the image because no one you know would be able to read what the smoke signal actually says anyway - lol.

OK ... I admit it ........... I DID buy lipstick

Like bne said above, these initial milestones are huge TS so celebrate them with pride! And don't look too far ahead, just a day at a time still. Besides, time is probably almost at a standstill for you right now. I know it was with me in my early quit It all works out though providing your stick with your daily NOPE.
