Next week; do Cat or Dogs. After the vote is in on that one, we can all go for Chinese

^^^ I suppose but it's the conditioning we have all gone through since kids. You DON'T eat the family pet

I'm guessing it's more a gender thing but .... we'll see I guess? If it's a lady thing for over then over should win because there's more ladies than guys here I believe

Are you kidding me? There's NO Over - LOL! Or, is that an Ozzie thing like water swirling down a drain the wrong way Oh and .... I keep the seat down in our house because I'm a gentlemen. I just piss all over the seat!

Is Celine Dion in that cirque de soleil show?

Going to a fish fry tomorrow

We've hid behind that smoke screen so long that it's hard to figure things out as a non-smoker sometimes but we must learn to do that and as we do, we find it's not so bad. Facing things head on is a good thing! Get them over and done with then ..... move on Sometimes, I think maybe that's why I didn't quit sooner? Hiding behind the smoke-screen was much easier.

Nope!

Hope no one on here is a PETA member

I'm not sure if that's actually the case - maybe? I know you can get a Rat on a Stick in Thailand. Sort of like a Rat Kabob (not that I would myself thanks anyway)

Thanks for sticking around Parsley and letting us know you're doing well. That IS important to us here because I think we tend to take on other people's quits like they are our own and you're right, it is a little concerning when people just disappear and we don't know if they are OK or not. I know most just move on with life but still, we wonder. And please don't feel your comments are inadequate or not important for others to hear. I think we all feel that way and we don't realize that the simple words any of us may have to offer on any given day might just register with someone we don't even know who is thinking about quitting or trying to quit. Every single contribution here could be a live-savor to someone

Since I was a kid I remember people saying; "Oh, you'll never see a cat within 3 blocks of the Chinese food place." Of course, I knew it was likely not true but I'm curious how that rumor got started.

Wow - longest thank you note ever We're all glad you landed here and your contributions to this place have been numerous and invaluable - that all goes without saying but now, it's been said! We're all very excited and proud that you've now crossed that Lido threshold and joined us up here in the Old Pharte lounge. Make no mistake though - it was YOU who had to do all the work in battling your own demons as your quit progressed and you did that successfully so kudos to YOU!

Yeah - nothing unusual going on here MLMR. All normal and everyone's timing of events, cravings etc. is different anyway but they all reduce and virtually disappear over time providing you just don't smoke. That's the important bit - NOPE!

I wonder where that myth started; about Chinese food places using cat in their recipes?

Back to basics MLMR! Deep Breathing until the craving passes. Read your reasons for quitting in the 1st place. Think about how awful that first puff would taste, how you would choke and the complete and utter deflation your would feel immediately after that first one, knowing you would be back to the beginning again. Distract yourself. You'll get by it. We always do

I've been called a horses ass many times!

Here's the biter - Misfit! Found in the garden in May 13 years ago. Mother went missing before kittens were weaned. We had to feed from a bottle for 3 weeks. Vet said: "It won't live!" He's now 13 years old and a bit of a fatty Does not know how good he's got it

Their fur is so plush and soft. Our other black short-haired cat seems constantly angry and likes to bite anyone who chooses to put their hand on him. I have been on antibiotics more than once because of infections he has passed on - yet I continue to feed and house him. Go figure! He comes running and is all rubbing up against your leg when it's feeding time though lol!
