Cappy, I'm looking for a frying pan myself now.
It's going to snow here today, and I had to shut my house back up and turn the heat back on yesterday.
Too hot.
Hrrrmph.

LOL chippers I know what you mean it's the same here I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses the cats as hot water bottles giggle
Just popping in to say hello to everyone.
Chippers, thinking about you sweetie and sending special hugs.
Love to all,
Allheart
IF you snore or have sleep aptnia (stop breathing for 30 to 90 seconds when you are sleeping) now is a really good time to have the surgery to cure the problem. In fact any mouth, nose or trout surgery will make it nearly impossible to even be around someone else who smokes giving you 2 to 12 weeks to get off the hook. Smoke simply smells so bad for a while you can not stand it.
Never heard of that before, meaning the surgery.
I have a couple of family members that have sleep apnea.
Your signature makes sense. Ignoring a problem always makes it worse, not almost. Lol
Joe
Ohhhh I want to be an Ear, Nose and Trout surgeon! Or should that be Sturgeon? A Sturgery?
Happy easter everyone.
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Mom's funneral service was Friday and I spent the week with my father getting everything ready. I want to thank you fior all your love and well wishes. They were greatly appreciated by me and my family.
Love to all my friends,
Chippers
Love and hugs chippers I sure hope your doing OK your never far from my thoughts xxxxxxxx
Ohhhh you're so sweeeeeeeet!! I carried your thoughts with me everyday last week. I even told my father about all of you and how great you are. He smiled and said they sound like good people. To dad there's nothing better than good people.
But we all know he isn't saying something I didn't already know.\
Love chippers
Chippers,
I spent yesterday with family, for Easter, and could not get you and your family out of my thoughts.
I told the family about your family, and the loss you just suffered, and everyone's hearts went out to you. We included you in our prayers, and my 3 year old niece added "God help them to not be sad anymore because she's in Heaven".
Hope our prayers and thoughts helped you get through what must have been a very hard weekend.
Much love,
Heather
Aaaaaawwwww Syn that's a lovely thing to say :D
We have had quite a productive 4 day weekend ben helped our neighbour put up new fencing and me and the wife of the neighbour helped by watching ;)
Ben is going away for two days tomorrow this will be the first time I've been alone with millie since she was tiny I'm not looking forward to it she really isn't going to understand why daddy isn't there.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week lots of love and hugs to you all xxxxxx
Syn, you're the best. I had tears in my eyes when I read your note. Please give your family my best and kiss your adorable niece for me. From just knowing you, I can see where her heart of gold comes from.
Easter went pretty well considering. We sat around talking and actually found ourselves laughing at the memories we have of mom and the good times we had with her. It was good to do this as I know my mom would want us to remember her with smiles and not tears. My dad came and spent the day with my boys before dinner and my brother came with his kids.
She was always my rock and even more so last summer while mr. chippers was in Iraq.
Your prayers were felt. They gave me comfort, especially knowing I have such wonderful friends. I told my dad all about you and he says I'm lucky to have good people like you in my life. He only echoed what I already know. I feel very blessed.
Laura, I know what it's like to be alone with a little one while daddy is away. As long as you keep reassuring her he'll be back, you'll be all right and so will she. If possible ask your husband to call if he can and let him say hi to her. Mr. chippers is going away for his national guard drill this weekend and if the weather is nice we're going to a drive in movie. I'll be REMAILING her present out this week now that I've got the address right. It'll go by fast before you both know it.
Remember were here if you need us. Were only a little click away.
Much love,
Your fellow goddess and friend.
Beth
Hiya beth,
Its not been to bad a day quite busy in fact millie only got upset around bed time but I coped tomorrow is another story though but she will be glad to see her daddy by dinner time that's for sure.
I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have hubby away for long periods especially in iraq it was bad enough knowing my friends 18 year old son was there for 6 months then another posting there 3 months later thankfully he got sent home for christmas and they decided he didn't have to return :)
Hugs to you xxxxxxxx

It was so sweet when the phone rang after we had spoken to him she looked at me all pethetic saying dada hehhehehe she is such a daddys girl :D
Lots of love to you Ah I hope your well xxxxxxx
Synnen - How's things been with you of late?
Guess what guys - I finished the medicine Chantix on Friday. And guess what else, I want a cigarette sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
Bad.
That medicine must really really work. Being off it feels like when I first started trying to quit. I was on the medicine for 3 months. You can go on it another 3 months, but I am just so tired of medicine. I am just going to push through this madness.
The mornings are the absolute worst! But I refuse to go back, but I really really really miss my cigarettes. I think the only thing that is keeping me from lighting up is my lungs do feel so much better. My asthma has been really good.
I love and miss all of you.
Many hugs to all of you!
Oh Laura, you got me half smiling and wet in the eyes here. How incredibly sweet!!Quote:

Love you guys. Hope tonight and tomorrow just fly by for you all.
You're right, there's nothing to top a child's smile. My oldest and I went out today and spent the day together. He talked about grandma and he let out a few things he was keeping inside. He feels guilty because he didn't have a chance to talk with her before her passing.
It may sound bad but I want him to open up and maybe cry a little. It'll come in time. He's been running around trying to keep busy and try not to think about it.
Christine, hang in there, were holding onto you. You've all done so well in not smoking and I'm very proud of you all. And no, I'd never get tired of hugs. Especially from my fellow goddesses. Our hugs combine our strength and our charm.:p . I think right about now we all could use a ride down the stairs in the clothes basket. I was retelling my family Sunday about the day Ryan created the ride. They couldn't believe there was no hole in the wall.
Laura, it'll pass by fast I promise you. Before I knew it mr chippers was home. And I was better looking. The last impression he had of me was the HUGE black eye I had after walking into a glass wall. Those of us in the U.S. who have seen the windex commercials have a good idea of what I did.( and yes I actually did that and no I have no pics of it)
I'm sending hugs and love to all of you. We all are having a time right now and I can think of no one better than my friends here to coplete the circle of friends with than you.
Love
chippers
I love you guys. Many hugs.
I want a cigarette so bad. Oh, not sure I am going to make it... I can not believe how hard it is off the medicine.
I miss my cigarettes, my very best friends. I felt so much happier when I smoked. Ohhhh sorry guys, really battling here.
But... I still love you all so very much!
Allheart, Know that my thoughts are with you. Remember the pictures of superbaby family. Let us give you the strength to stay strong and healthy and away from things that could harm you which are the ciggerates. We all have our bad days but it is friends that keep us strong. It is family and friends that help each other get through things. With a hug, with a picture, with a smile. So my hugs to you Allheart. You make me smile. I want to make you smile just by reading what I have written. Nice and calm and peaceful thoughts. I know earlier it might have not seemed that way with me, but I am happy with my family here at home and with you guys here. I am lifting you up and remember God is always holding you in his arms.
Amen.
Joe
Amen Joe.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your words and heartfelt prayers,oooooh honestly gave me a chill - A very good chill. I was getting so close. Was even going to ask permission if I could just have a couple of puffs.
But honestly reading your words - I do feel a loving strength. The urge has really diminised.
Bless you Joe - Bless you :)
Allheart, honey... give me your hand.
You're up here, on the top branch... look what a scary drop it is going down!
I know how hard it is... I *still* have very bad days where I would do just about anything for a smoke, just one puff, and it's been almost 4 months!
You can do it, I have faith in you. Think of how much easier it is to sleep at night! And how much less cranky you are in the morning (okay, okay... if you're like me, that's not so noticable). Think of how much better you smell, and how much more you can taste things.
And think of your friends here when things get tough. We are always here to give you a hug and hold your hand :)

Honest, I feel so calm and am just going to shut down the computer, join hubby for some TV and have a restful night's sleep.
Joe, thanks so much! _ I can't believe what a difference I feel. I was ever so close to lightening up.
Bless you and your beautiful beautiul family - The super baby family can always bring a smile to your face and heart :)
Much love,
Christine
Synnen - It really helps to know you go through the same thing. I actually was thinking about you during the highest peaks of wanting one. Thank you sooooo much. Yeh, and I don't want to stink anymore do I :o :p Sending you a big huge hug and I hope things are going well for you Synnen and if they are not, I promise you... they will. Love you very much.Quote:

We maybe from different places but the circle of friends we share with each other, makes us feel we are closer because we carry that circle in our hearts.
Christine, you've come so far and have done so well. Listen to yourslef when you crave a ciggerette. That will help you find the triggars right now. Take a moment to think why you want one, while you do that, think of how good you feel since you quit smoking. Think of how rotten they taste. Your skin looks and feels better, you don't wake up with the morning smokers cough and your lungs thank you for it.
Usually when we feel stressed we want to smoke. If that's the case, then try and take yourself out of the situation for a moment, get a soda or carry a small snack with you like those 100 calorie snack packs or a sliced apple. I used to carry the mini tootsie pops and nicorette gum. Denying the craving will only make you want it more. It's okay to admitt you want one even out loud so you can hear yourself say it. As you do that, also voice why you quit as well.
I think it's safe to say that you'll never hear any one preach or talk down to you on this blog. Maybe because we know how hard it is to quit. Maybe we've been down the road you're travelling now.
And yes think of superbaby and the puppy, who loves to get the buscuits. Also the incentive of the close basket ride down the stairs should keep you on the straight and narrow. (hehe).
Joe, I'm so glad to hear you're a happy family man. I'm happy with my family as well and blessed to have them. I was once thought of as the old maid aunt who never got married.
It's amazing how a spouse and children change you life forever. Just like a group of emotionally strong friends. Just like you guys are, like we all are.
The best gift you can give yourself is a gift of friendship. So I'd say we're covered till next christmas.
Love to all of you and thank you all for being here.
Chippers
Oh my Dear Chippers - thank you so much. Your words are so comforting.
I hope you and your family can feel all of our love. Bless you and thank you again.
Yes, stress is the trigger. You hit the now on the head.
Okay, so where do I put Mr. Allheart, my trigger :):):).
Love you all so very much!
Won't someone think of the puppy? :P
