Reciprocity

^^^ Exactly!! Don't take any bullshit from your addict brain. You have planted some good footings for a solid quit base but, know that this addiction takes some time to beat back into the far recesses of your mind. I was always impatient to see improvements and never though I could see any but then, 1 year later I turned around and found I don't give a crap about smoking any more. It will happen fully for you pr anyone else - just give it time and keep that attitude of "Smoking does nothing good for me"!! Because .... it's doesn't!!

We just feed them because they would starve otherwise. For whatever reason, they don't fly south for winter any more. Then temps go to -20 or -30 for a few months and guess what?? No Food!! You'd think they would know that? It probably costs me $500.00 per year to feed these ungrateful dinner entrees. I'm just glad the geese don't land and feed. There's thousands of those around here all year long. Not sure what they feed on during winter but I'm just glad I'm not paying for that!

My mother's preserves were a little "runny" at times too but the taste .... oh, the taste We may be frozen solid where I am but ... dinner shows up daily because, there's no other food anywhere

My mother used to make strawberry preserves too but she's just too old now to do that stuff but oh man!! Yummy!!!! I miss getting a couple of jars of her stuff each year. Nothing like home made preserves And, where are you that Strawberry season is upon you? There's nothing growing here for another 4 months.

^^^ My wife was afraid to swim anywhere but an enclosed pool for probably 20 years after she saw Jaws. Even in freshwater lakes I finally got her to start going back in the ocean when we started going on vacations down south, which is basically where the sharks live isn't it?

Morning........ 12

And, any of that stuff will taste WAY better now that your taste bud are alive again. Especially the jelly ....... Yummm. I like Raspberry best myself

And, just as importantly, you're no longer killing YOURSELF!!

Proud to say I successfully made it from my bed to the coffee pot this morning. Probably 100 feet or more and involves the descent of multiple stairs. I didn't fall even once and did not need to stop and rest along the way. Although, I ALMOST tripped over the damn cat! Normally, I'd just have the wife get me a coffee but today .... I did it myself The stuff you people talk about doing would have me in the hospital on life support
