    I've now gone 46 days without a cigarette.

    It's SOOOO much easier now.

    I still think about it, especially in bad moments of my days... but I no longer want to cry when I can't have one.

    Laura, there's a spot here right next to me that I'm saving for you, because I KNOW you can do it.

    Laura, I'm proud of you too!

    So what if you're not on the top branch right now? You fell, you're climbing back up again! That takes a TON of guts! I think you're braver than I am!

    (pssst... it's one of those mornings... pass me a fag?)

    GOOD MORNING fellow goddesses and demi gods. It's an okay day so far. I did brak down and had 3 bottles of caffeine yesterday.(BAAAAAAAAAAD me) I'd been up most of the night before with mr. chippers and making sure he was all right. He had the surgery and came trhu it fine. I fought with the docotr about changing his pain med from vicodin to percocet because the vico wasn't touching him before the surgery. Once the doc realized I wasn't giving up, he changed the med for him. He's had 2 painfree nights so far. (it pays to be a b@@@h).
    The boys had a snow day yesterday and Mr. einstein decided to help them clear snow from the driveway and the car. I actually came close to wrapping the snow shovel around his neck. But it took restrain not to.
    Ah synn< I'm sooooooo proud of you. 46 days is nothing to sneeze at. As for being grumpy and not wanting to take it out on us? Never think that. We take it as venting your feelings, not as personal attacks. It helps you and it also helps us.
    That's so not fair cbw. Doesn't he realize that the leaks and the other problems can cause mold. Especially being a fireman? If he does and does nothing to fix it, he could be held criminally responsible if you guys get sick.
    Also check out leagal aide about putting your rent money in escrew until he makes the repairs. ONce that happens, watch how dast he makes the repairs. I know you're in england, but it wouldn't hurt to check out legal aide. They can tell you what to do.
    It's how they do it here in the u.s. but it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Also see if there is a department (or minsitry of housing) they could direct you to your rights as a renter. I'm just guessing here but it's somehtng to think about.
    I'm sorry if I'm preaching to you but I hate seeing people I care about being mistreated.
    Even though we only chat here, I consider you all very good friends.


    Luve to all of you fellow goddesses and demi gods.

    I quit 3 months ago and have not had a ciggie since. What has made it easy for me is the fact that I slowly over a period of one year weaned myself off them very slolwy. I dropped the amount I smoked until I was only have one cigarette a day and then I woke up one day and said today will be the day I stop. I have managed now to go 3 months, but I did this before I made it to 4 months and started again. I do have the odd times when I really want a cigarette.
    Do you know what is really odd? When you give up you start to see people that you would never believe would smoke? In yet when you are smoking everywhere you go non smokers and nobody is smoking only you. I must say that since I have given up I cannot stand near a smoker and find the smell horrible. I don't want patches either, I mean what is the point in giving your body a substitute nicotine the only way to do it is to stop! No easy cure it is hell and sometimes very boring.

    Hope all is well and I'll be touching base later today.

    Super baby is actually taking a nap. Joshua and My wife stayed in the bedroom while I did a top to bottom clean up. Spent all day cleaning up and other chores. This is the first nap he has taking during the day for a long time. Thank you for asking.

    Laura - :eek: Talking about boobies. At least I am not the only one. Hee Hee. Joshua is on them all the time. );

    Mr. and Mrs. Chippers hope all is well in the recovery.

    Allheart - Love the picture of Superbaby, it actually is Joshua. Nice picture Eh!

    Doing okay.

    Just found out a very good friend of mine has breast cancer and I am scared to death.
    There is a lot not known now as to how much treatment she will need. The kind she has is called invasive. I don't like that sound of that.

    Anyway, I bring this up to please keep her in her prayers. I won't say too much more as not too many people know, and not all of her family knows.

    So when you pray, just refer to her as "Special Angel".

    Thanks for listening.

    Love all of you very much!!

    Joe you are so sweet thank you so much.

    I love that, God knows who she is. Thank you.

    Hugs to the superfamily:)

    And to all the lovely Goddessess.

    1 day at a time I'm still on 5 but its better than 15
  • Feb 17, 2007, 03:06 PM
    Allheart
    Laura - 5 is AWESOME!! And you know it is.!

    But you are right, it's one day , or even one hour at a time :)
  • Feb 18, 2007, 01:47 AM
    chippers
    Allheart, invasive could mean she'll have surgery to remove it. Anywhere from a lumpectomy to a mastectomy. Allot depends on the stage in which they caught it. There is a lot of headway made in breast cancer treatments. From chemo to surgery. I'll keep special angel in my prayers as well.

    As for the breast feding angle, I passed on it. I could barely let mr. chippers look at them let alone let a baby nurse on them for how sore they were during pregnancy. But the idea of breast feeding gives a whole new meaning of milk and cookies.

    Mr. chippers is doing well. As long as I keep the snow shovel close by,he stays in line.
    Friday I took off the dressing and he took a shower then I put a new one on. He's getting sleep and rest from the pain pills. He goes back to the doctor on Tuesday.

    Laura of course you are the no#1 goddess because as heart said you brought us together.Btw Joe, when you're done cleaning your house, want to come and do mine?? Huh huh pleeeeeaaasseeeeee??

    As for riding the basket up the stairs allheart, we'll have the demi gods pul us up. They should be honored to serve the goddesses divine.

    Luv to all,

    Chippers:D

    So glad Mr. Chippers is on the mend. You're a sweetheart :)

    We'll have them dress in toga bottums and have special music for pulling us up. They are of course serving the goodesses divine and should dress the part. Don't you agree?
    If I could be any goddess, I would chose Athena, the goddess of wisdom. I've always liked her from what I read about her as a kid. So how about any of you goddesses. Which one would you be if you weren't already a goddess divine? Or in the men's cases, the demigods.


    Chippers.

    Athena you are. The goddess of wisdom.
