I am so glad to be part of your journey! You are so strong..and I love your smile!

Dear Dogs and Cats, The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out an d having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years--canine or feline attendance is not mandatory. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door: To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About MY Pets 1. They live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.) 3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Great Idea El Bandito...I second that

Are funny recipes allowed? It was one of those rainy summers, two or three years ago and my Zucchini's exploded. I had too many and they were to big...I needed to find "new Zucchini" idea and started searching. This is what I found and it had me rolling: Top 20 List for successful sneaking of Zucchini or otherwise ridding yourself of unwanted surplus summer Squash 1) Carefully place a dozen or more zucchini in a large, sturdy black plastic trash bag, then add a couple layers of unwanted clothing. Drive to nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army, hand over bag to nearest volunteer. Politely refuse any offered receipt. Leave quickly. 2) Look for out of the way places which have signs posted, "Clean Fill Wanted." 3) Reserve 1/2 of the space in large, upright freezer, gather all available plastic containers & freezer bags. Drink a vat of your favorite caffinated beverage, in preparation for staying up round the clock to puree large quantities of zucchini. This can then be packaged neatly and artistically labeled: "For Zucchini Nut Bread Recipe." These packages can be freely given, along with copies of recipe, to anyone on your Christmas list. 4) Under light of full moon, either stark naked or wearing full army camouflage, carrying a machete or any garden implement, run amuck in your zucchini patch, cutting and slashing. Be sure to thank mother nature for her bounty before and after this cathartic experience. 5) Buy a large roll of freezer paper--the kind that sub shops use to, you know, wrap up their subs & other sandwiches. Then proceed to wrap each zucchini which has managed to grow to a foot or more in length. Next time your child has a fundraiser, send him or her out supplied with these phoney subs. Tell child to drop them off with neighbors or relatives and leave quickly. It's advisable that a responsible adult hover nearby in a get-away car.

That was my reply to her SOS...I thought I share it with everybody! I am just a happy little bugger :-) we are all awesome :-)

You obviously have cigarettes at home...Why are you keeping them around? You want to quit Evelyn...please throw them out don't have them laying around!

I can tell you what will happen afterwards...you will feel worse...nothing will change.. but on top of everything you will feel guilty because you smoked and angry because you threw out quit. I am at home in my workroom ....do you want to chat? Do me a favor.....think about your daughter in a few years...do you want her to see you smoke? Do you want her to grow up to become a smoker herself. You are beautiful young Lady....don't you dare say otherwise! I can see you picture!

If you think you might Relapse...then you might relapse. If you keep telling yourself you will fail...then chances are you will. If you believe craves to be intense....intense will be the ride. If you want to be an ex-smoker, your mind has yet to heal. Get a positive mindset and a positive outlook: I will stick to my quit...and you will! The craves are easy to handle....and the ride will be easy! Wow....only one more patch ...and I am free yipppie! Give it a try! I put it in my signature line "The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective"!

I just want to give you a hug...I have never told you this...but I think you are very special. Meeting you has be my pleasure!

Amy cut and past works...it doesn't show the video first...it just shows the link...but it changes after you post...give it a try

First I used the money to pamper myself....mostly with good food. Then when my weight was back to normal I started to put in a jar....it's untouchable, since I really spend $5 a day. My husband got $3 out to tip the pizza guy...I almost ripped his head off :-) Mine...mine...mine :D :D :D I am going to fulfill me a life long wish with my "smoking money"

hmmmmmmmmm wow Julie! I wish for a unusual herb garden (can't come up with an idea at all)

:rolleyes:

I was wondering the same lol

will try...can't promise!

I wish you a very happy smoke free Easter! How are you all holding up?

I am very proud of you....I hope you don't mind me saying that! Your are going through two break up's! Please make sure and reward yourself...New shoes sounds good to me :-) A nice dessert or icecream, a new haircut, new shoes, a special magazine....give yourself a non smoking reward. Day 3....you are doing great (((Sarah)))

We live in a small community and we have a very small park between two streets.....you really have to slow down with the car or you miss the entry. It's hard to find and I assume it was built for get together's and neighborhood meetings. Everybody has an own yard, so nobody uses it. It's my private park...so it seems. There are only a few people who walk their dogs and I am mostly alone so it is officially "my park". I run now every morning with the dogs and it's hard to say who has more fun. I found out that one round in our gigantic park is exactly 1.2 miles.....so I run either 2.4 or 3.6 miles not bad for an older Ladybug :-) However I have 2 or 3 breaks in my run (poop breaks for the dogs).
