Let me introduce myself and my 3 Lovely Lady's and of course Joe, We came together through my want to quit smoking and have greeted each other daily from then on. (Started on this thread: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/addictions/your-help-smoking-53890.html)
There's me, I quit smoking then started again and I'm in the process of quitting again...
Then we have Allheart oh my what a heart this lady has she has also quit smoking and is sticking to her guns and remains on the top branch of the quitting tree.
Then there's Synnen She has also quit smoking and proudly remains on that top branch too what a gal she is.
The last Lady but by no means least is Chippers now this lady has quit soda no more caffeine filled bottles of pop for this lady and she is also doing wonderfully, if your nice enough she might even let you have a go on the wash basket ride
And of course we have Joe he was meant to quit junk food but he is a naughty boy that needs us girls to keep him in tow.
So that's us why not come inside and say hi you never know you might just make it onto our special tree too.
We are 4 lady's and a joe ready to chit chat and help you on your way.

Hehehehehehe well come inside and settle down into your new corner of cyber space lady's and Joe xxxx

I can't believe we talked so much they had to close our thread and give us a new one!

Welcome to the Grand Opening of Wittering Quiters Corner

http://www.brizweb.com/games/mathschallenge/balloons.gif

Giggle the rules are over 1500 posts and it closes lol we managed to beat that because we just have so much to say ;)

Great job there CBW!!

Hehehehehehe hope you like it, I had to put us all in after all its about all of us now and our daily troubles :D

Ooh! I just quit smoking (again) I am now 7 days no nicotine, and I quit caffeine as well... 9 days only water... although, I may have to sneak a coke in soon...

Ah yes alkalineangel but you have the most wonderful reason in the world to not smoke :D I'm so so so hoping to have that reason too some day soon.

ooh! i just quit smoking (again) i am now 7 days no nicotine, and I quit caffeine as well...9 days only water....although, i may have to sneak a coke in soon....


Now I have this strong feeling Alka, that if anyone can do it... IT'S YOU :) . Something tells me that. No way would you let this defeat you.

And congrats are in order? Is that right. Is there really a bun in the oven?

Just wanted to share my landlords rescue antics for last month tee hee

Oh yes... Im baking bread... I know I can def. quit the smoking, but the caffeine is kicking my butt... lol...

CBW: it will happen!

OOOOOOOO I know I'm no great hurry I have to admit but I really don't want our little girl to be an only child even with all the complications we had with her I just have to try.

I understand that. I originally wanted ours to be 2 years apart... but things happened and it looks like they will be nearly 5 years apart... but at least it has happened.

I kind of like the trying bit anyway ;) if you get my drift giggle

Heck yeah, who doesn't?


do I hear crickets chirping?

Yeah... well... I'm getting tired of the trying, already.

I wish it would just HAPPEN.

Don't get me wrong... the trying is fun and all... but you can only ride the roller coaster so many times without actually getting to do the big drop.

I feel you there...

yeah...well....I'm getting tired of the trying, already.

I wish it would just HAPPEN.

Dont' get me wrong...the trying is fun and all...but you can only ride the roller coaster so many times without actually getting to do the big drop.


LOL oh syn my love its going to happen we will both be moaning soon enough that we are fat tee hee

Well Just making a presence in the Wittering Quiters corner. Hmmmm,

I was looking through the old thread just to realise it has been closed and now it is being continued else where.

It is amazing how many memories and laughs and more we all had. Now we will have more here.

I wonder how long will it take for us to get past the 1500 mark again.

LOL

Well hello everybody. Saying my hello and I am sure we will all chat with each other lots here.

Have a great day, and a great weekend.

Joe

Yay you found us Joe :D

I hope so! I'm nearly ready to give up!

I hope so! I'm nearly ready to give up!

What do you mean? Why? :eek:

Oh no you don't Lady no giving up remember it can take a year so sit back and enjoy the ride giggle ;)

Laura... darling... it's been 5.

We've done everything we can, and can afford. Anything not covered by insurance, like fertility counseling and tests and such... we just can't afford. I've been tracking ovulation for 3 years, and we try not to stress about it and just enjoy... but after a while it gets to the point where you just can't.

Gah... don't mind me. Go back to happy baby thoughts, darn it!

Yes a year and sometimes a year and a half if birth control was involved prior to trying. Its easiest to just forget about (seems impossible, I know) but you know what I mean... stop trying so hard... it will happen. We took a nice romantic weekend away without any OPKs or HPTs or Thermometers or calendars and just relaxed and had fun... that was the ticket for us...

Laura...darling...it's been 5.

Honestly, usually when you give up on trying so hard. That is when it will happen. It will happen, I do believe it.

Joe

OK... disregard my previous post, I didn't realize you had been through all of that. Believe me I completely understand your situation though... I was a surrogate for my sister because she was told she could never carry full term. She suffered 7 miscarriages before giving up... and I suffered one last year and the waiting to start trying, and then the waiting for it to happen was hard... and that was only 8 months. IM sorry you have been through so much. Wish I had words to make it easier, but I know I don't.

Syn - It's been 5 years?

So many times, I know people who reached the point you are, just throw their hands up in the air, and guess what happens then.? Yup.

But Syn I can't even imagine how the both of your hearts drop every month. The couple of times I thought I was, (we weren't trying - I was just late), my heart dropped.

I will keep you in my prayers Syn, don't you ever ever give up on anything. You may just have to take a different route, but give up? Sorry girl, that's not you.

Syn my love I so wish you lived over here things like that are free on the nhs lots of hugs to you xxxxxxx

Yes don't give up. ;)

You are all the BEST!

/hugs all of you

Thanks so much for your love and support. Some days it's just so hard, you know?

That just means that I'll be cheering that much more for all of the good news you bring about babies and such :)

Syn won't give up she will remain smoke free and try and try and try I have all the faith in her because she is one of the most special people ever.

Haha... I don't really know you well yet, but I agree with CBW, because she does. And might I add that I think it is amazing that you have continued smoke free with all the stress... I would have caved already. Stress and cigarettes are my enemies...

LOL... you guys miss the days when I'm begging everyone at work for a cigarette and they just laugh at me.

The main reason I quit smoking was to increase our chances of getting pregnant... so... it's a good reason NOT to start again.

Alka, I am really very happy for you! You'll have to keep us updated on everything that goes on with your pregnancy!

Of course... although I was a little upset of the cost of my prenatals... whew! Almost $1 a pill. I may end up switching to the walmart brand, but something tells me the prescribed ones are better... I will... We are so excited. Its about time we get another one that we can actually keep.

I've been taking folic acid and eating right (though too MUCH of what's right, really).

Working now on losing some of the weight I gained quitting smoking.

Darn I blinked and everything changed. Closing that thread was like the last visit to to my grandmother's house. I felt a sense of loss there. So many tears and laughter. So many happy memories. I'm positive we'll just pick up where we left off. I'm sure in no time we'll reach 1500 all over again. Maybe the next thread we can call it the 1500 branch society.
Syn, I agree with Joe and Heart, when you stop trying and just relax, then it'll happen.
We tried so hard to have number 2 without success. Then one night I stoppedd thinking about it, had a glass of asti and the next thing I knew 4 weeks later, I was pregnant.( the fact I almost threw up on a patient was a really good clue that I was.)
Angel, I applaud your effort in quitting caffiene and smoking. They are the 2 most hard things to quit. If you can quit both at once you're stronger than anyone I know. We'll all be rooting for you. The clothes basket ride will awaiting you. All goddesses in our realm will be here for support, laughter and a shoulder to cry on. Everyone here went above and beyond the call of friendship for me when my mother died march 30th2007. Their support and love was endearing. I love them all and feel blessed to call them friends. Our circle of friends that is getting bigger each day when people like you come and stay.
The prenatals in the vitamin shelf work just as the prescribed. Actually some were originally by prescription but are now over the counter.
Syn, I'm wondering when the bun is in the oven, are we going to be godmothers and Joe?

Love,
chippers

Hehehehehe but it's a nice change ;)

Good morning my lovely lady's and Joe hope you are all well xxxxxxx

Laura just love the bunny :). 2 cute!!

Hugs to all

I couldn't resist his little wiggly bum giggle

Laura,
Did hawee teach you that? Pray for me ladies and Joe. I'm taking the boys out for dinner tonight. Mr. chippers is away playing army for the weekend. He'll be back tomorrow.
Hope all are having a great spring day. I got to sleep in this morning which is rare in this house. I was up cleaning all night while the rotten monsters were asleep. Ewven asleep you can still hear the wheels turning. I talked with my father again. He'll be moving up here sooner than next summer. I think he's found a senior citizens development very close to home.
Have a nice day ladies and joe. Or goddesses and joe. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, I'm in a straight jacket somewhere.
Love,
Chippers

Chippers my sweet I hope your having a good day, and the boys are good when you go out tonight I'm sure they will be.
It's a bank holiday weekend here so we will be gardening and generally spring cleaning :D fun NOT.
Hope everyone is well xxxxxxxx lots of love

Hello everybody. Just wanted to say hello. Thinking about everybody here. Superbaby family is doing good. Hope all is well this beautiful weekend.


Joe

Well I survived dinner with the boys tonight. They were like gentlemen. Even when we went to the grocery store. Now walmart is another matter. I swear there has to be a walmart curse out there. It hits all kids when they walk through the door. My son said it's the falling prices. I have a different theory. Like if they behave like banzies then mom will get us whatever they want. The reality of leaving the cart right where is stands and walking out and heading home is a real eye opener.
No sooner did they get out of there were they gentlemen again. It's like doseless electro shock therapy.
I'm getting spring cleaning done as much as I can. We're planning to get our kitchen redone and the house painted. So I'm going through the house and if its broken or missing pieces it goes out. I do it covertly while the boys are in school. It saves on tears that way.
I do mr. chippers while he's at work. It saves me money on a divorce lawyers. That way if he is missing something, I can play as dumbfounded as he is. Hehe. Aren't I bad

What is "wittering"?

What is "wittering"?

Wittering is a form of intellectual humor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humor). A wit is someone skilled in making witty remarks, typically spontaneously and in conversation.

That is a good definition. If anybody wants to correct me, please chime in. lol

LOL I love it I do mr chippers while he is at work giggle giggle that made me laugh.
I hate food shopping that's why I send ben lol I haven't done any food shopping for months :D
Im glad the boys behaived for dinner it makes all the difference doesn't it.

Well its 9.15am I'm off to shower and start the day xxxxxx

Hmmm very interesting.

Laura, before Joshua we always shopped together.

Since the baby I always do the shopping now. Lol

Goodmorning everybody. I am happy that everybody is figuring out what wittering means. Lol

That's what it says in the dictionary lol wittering is just a word for lots of talking.

I thought that wittering is a long version of the word wit, which means witty which means humour which means. Okay I could go on but I think it might be too much wittering for everybody here.

LOL bless you

As it says wittering is a lot of people insesantly talking its what they call the noise that you hear when your in a group of people all talking together at the same time :D

I guess that is what we are doing right now? :p ;) :D :eek: :confused:

I just discovered that I am only able to put 6 images in a post and no more.

That kind of sucks now doesn't it.

Rules :mad:

Good Morning Everyone -

Hope the day is good for one and all.

***hugs***

:p

I deleted my post about me possibly being pregnant and awake and hungry. Just figured some people might assume that I could be and I do not want anybody to think that.

:eek:

LOL mmmmm you trying to tell us your really a girl??

I think you brought that up on the smoking thread too. Lol

Oh, the trouble I get myself into.

If that is the case, that would make my wife an lesbian :eek: :eek: :eek:


LOL mmmmm you trying to tell us your really a girl???

I should have not giving you a agree to that question. I am walking right into things right now.

Oh My God, I think I need sleep.

LOL Joe after what we were talking about last night anythings possible ;)

Hello one and all. Joe no offense to your manliness, but from my experience, men and pregnancy go together like water and oil. But if you are pregnant Joe, I want dibbs on writing your story. I promise it'll make Lady chatterly's lover look like a kiddy book. Hehe. Embellishments and all.
As for wittering, we, being very intelligent people didn't look inside the box instead of out side it. Go figure.
Well I watched Pride and Prejudice twice last night and mamged to calm down. I let the boys out on early parole andlet them camp out in the living room and watch dvds last night.
Imagine my surprise when I woke up and found my gentlemen were back again.
Laura when I reread what I wrote about Mr. chippers, I busted out laughing too. The way I worded it "I do Mr. chippers" is priceless.
I so hate grocery shopping. When I remember I order on line through acme. The 10.00 delivery fee is worth it. I make that up by not impulse buying. Or spending an extra 30.00 if I take the kids with me. It makes life so much easier.
How is Hawee doing. How is Millie with her new friend. I think it's precious.
Hugs to everyone Joe, Syn, Laura, Heart and our other new goddesses.

Chippers.

Morning sweety,

We are all just fine it's a bank holiday here today :D so millie gets an extra day with her daddy she is currently helping him fix a neighbours laptop lol just the sort of help he needs giggle ;)
Hawwweee is fine a little damp it rained last night poor little thing but he is stupid enough to sit in it rather than shelter in his house can't you tell he is male lol.
Online food shopping delivery is free here :D I do prefer it but its better if I send ben then he pays ;)
Hope everyone's Monday is starting OK and then it says just fine.
Lots of love Laura xxx

Wow you miss a lot when you leave town for the weekend... suddenly I learn that men CAN get pregnant, some women have the ability to "do" husbands when they are at work, and you can order groceries online... I feel like I was stuck in some kind of time warp... good Monday Morning all! (well I guess its afternoon for some of ya's overseas)

Not another one aaargh!

IM sorry?.

Cappy's just afraid that you'll take a frying pan to his monkey, Alka.

Don't mind him.

LOL!! OK... sorry... my hormones have me jumping pretty quick... I snapped at the cracker barrel lady yesterday when she wouldn't take my name quickly enough... but in my defense, she was yapping at another worker about hating her job and I had been standing there being ignored for 10 minutes... I do tend to be a bit of a troll... lol.

Oh, I would have been meaner than that. So don't feel TOO badly about it ;)

LOL Cap's a pain in the monkey Butt just ignore him and he will get upset and post cute puppy pictures ;)
Did you have a good weekend Al??
Syn what about you sweety have you done anything exciting?

Oh yes, I traveled, read, ate, and played with my baby boy! (well not really a baby anymore) My 4 favorite things! ;) how about you?

We are on a holiday day here we have spent the weekend gardening and shopping and bbq'ing and stuff like that really nothing to exciting :D

I went to see my parents this weekend, and their new house for the first time.

Mom and I went garage saling, and to a few antique stores. We had dinner with my dad's boss and his wife, and sat out on their porch with drinks, and then went out looking at the sights for a while yesterday before I had to drive back.

It was just a nice weekend with my parents.

Have they settled in Synn??

Mostly. They have some boxes to unpack yet, and they're still filling rooms and putting up paintings and stuff like that. It's a nice house

My mom is pretty sad yet, though, about the whole moving thing. They sold the old house this weekend, so they were both happy and sad about that. Plus, mom misses the grandkids.

It's a nice town, though. I had to laugh when I found out my parents live on Main Street, in a town with one traffic light. Main Street, by the way, is paved with brick. It made me giggle.

I hate moving house this is the longest we have stayed in one place ever for 7 years I moved either once or twice a year till we moved here to the coast. I think I just moved way too much it gets very annoying.

Main street huh does mickey mouse live there too :D

Lol... The whole town reminds me of Mayberry.

This is the first time my parents have moved in like 28 years, so it was pretty tough.

I'm looking forward to buying a house, so that I can forget about moving for a while.

Good evening everyone. Alka, I feel the same way sometimes. If I blink I miss a chapter of my life. But once I'm in here with all my friends, I'm up to speed.
Don't be so hard on yourself about yelling at the yappy hostess. I'd have done it too and I have. Their complaints take out a little of your enjoyment when they do they. I had a hair dresser constantly complain about her job and her boss while she was cutting my hair. Ladies if your like me, getting my hair cut is very traumatic by itself. It ranks up there with a doctor doing surgery on me. So I changed hairdressers. No need to worry about hmo denying it.
Syn, I've been meaning to tell you that I have that same chair. I love it and actually fell asleep in it once. You look so nice sitting in it.
Laura, I hope your banker's holiday was nice for you and Millie and Hawee. Did Ben have to work or was he home as well
Mr. chippers works nights so having him home at night is a rarity. And nice to have a bed buddy other than the cats.(don't tell them I said that or they'll revolt)
Shelly, hope you had a nice weekend.
Joe, I've been meaning to tell you something. I like you. I like you very much. I like your strength and that you are a rare man who is secure and happy in your married life. You treat women with respect. And you respect yourself. There's not to many like you out there. I'm glad you're here with us and even more so to call you friend. Plus having a man around gives us the view from the other half. Thank you for being here. I'm sure we all think that too.
By the way, I'm not hitting on you, just being honest. Hehe
Chippers

Chippers I just want to say thank you for telling me how you feel. I do appreciate it. I am happy that I am here with you and everybody else here too. I like your honesty. I would not take it any other way. (;
Or maybe lol

Anyway, Have a good night and a good week.

Joe

Phew!!
Went away for the weekend to celebrate our 10yr anniversary, thought I'd drop in to say hello & good morning to all and you've all moved...
But I found you so Hello & good morning to all!

Moomin
:)

Morning Moo glad you had a good weekend I love having long weekends it makes the rest of the week so short ;)

Me and millie are sat watching brum giggle I'm just thinking about attacking the house it's a pig sty hehehee

Hope all you other lovely lady's are well and joe you are too xxxxx love and hugs

Thanks CBW,
We went to Cardiff for a weekend of rugby league... can't beat it... all that violence on the pitch... and the thighs! Ooooo

:p

Tee hee that's the best bit about rugby is the legs giggle giggle

You betcha!

It's been about 8 years since I went to cardiff we used to go once a month for shopping when I lived in bristol.

Oh the thighs and no life gaurds in sight. We don't have rugby here in the u.s. but the ups men in their shorts will do.
So glad you found us moon. We were afraid we'd loose the new members who joined us on the last thread. We would've missed you.
The kids have a 1/2 day of school today due to election primaries. Oh joy! Can't wait to see who gets in this time.
I guess a little anarchy in the morning never hurt anyone. Sorry ladies and Joe but the caffiene hasn't hit my system yet.
The Queen looked splendid on her visit here to tour the Jamestown colony. I always did admire her.
But not as much as I admire my fellow goddesses and of course Joe.

Chippers

Funny that I've just been watching the news and hearing about the queen and her visits I cracked up when mrs bush tried to link arms with the duke big mistake there lady you don't touch royalty tee hee and you sure as hell don't shake hands unless they inciate it first tee hee.
Aren't you lucky to have an extra few hours with the boys today what will you all do??

Good morning one and all.

Hope the day is being good for you.

***hugs***

Yes, the queen looked lovely in her green hat and dress at the derby as well. Although I hope my state-mates did not frighten her with all the flags and tiaras... you got to love kentuckians... we're definitely an odd bunch.

LOL Al she would have just looked tutted and said "we are not amused" giggle I'm no royalty lover can you tell ;)

Ah my love how are you?

Hi Sweet Laura -

Not doing too bad :). Hope your day is going well. So glad you had a nice long weekend.
Sounded wonderful :)

Back to work I go.

Love you lots

Been feeling somewhat green today its very odd but I think I've poisened myself with bean soup lol

Doesn't the Queen no that royalty is no higher than any visiting dignitary here? They should EXPECT people to want to link arms with them!

Haha...

Poor thing though... this is what the Derby-goers provided as a gift to the queen... lol... like I said... gotta love Kentuckians.

The first one is a guy imitating colonol sanders (KFC) and the lady is impersonating the queen herself...

Giggle I think its funny silly old bag the whole bloody royal family could disappear as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I feel the same about Bush...

Oh but Princess Di's boys seemed to have grown up so nice. She seemed to be such a beautiful person (inside and out).

Oh there was more to he than the outside eye saw that's for sure none of them people are as bloody white as they are painted as for the lads yeah well so far so good it won't last though...

NO WAY LAURA.. NO WAY
She seamed incredibly sweet. NO? I yi yi

Hehehehe guess you guys don't get as much coverage as we do trust me they are all black sheep under that white wool

LOL - Well Gosh darn. LOL.

You feeling any better?

Kind of but then I haven't had time to think about it lol my god did I shift when I realised the fridge was dead I pinched my neighbours spare lol thankgod for good neighbours

Oh CBW -you are right. Good neighbors are great to have.

Were you able to save all the food? What did the landlord say?

Foods fine thank goodness as id been shopping yesterday and the fridge was stacked, I rang my landlord and just told him his old one was out in the front garden and that he had better get cracking with the new kitchen as I can't live with a fridge in the dinning room forever lol poor guy I can garrentee he will be round tomorrow ;)

Sounds like an awesome landlord. How did you guys get it outside already?

This is the best thread I have read so far. I would like to quit smoking too, I have lot's of kids and a husband that doesn't smoke. Wow you guys are doing great things for your body. Hope to chime in. Is this where I wait and you ask me what am I waiting for?

Hi Start :) and it's time you stopped too :)

Yes you are right. I smell like an ashtray and I hate it. I have quit before I think 4 times or 3 actually, stayed done for a year and then I let one slip right between my fingers and ahhhh. Now I need to do it again. Cold turkey guys?

No, I actually was put on the medicine Chantix. I did seemed to work.

Oh my you had stopped for a year? I think what got me was I just didn't like having to stand outside everywhere. It got to the point where I wasn't enjoying the cigarette anymore.

Basically, I just wasn't feeling the love, from anyone. They just don't love us smokers ( I will always be a smoker at heart).

I was told the nicotene companies have now laced the cigarettes with a more addictive ingredient to keep us hooked. That really made me man and inspired me to say NO MORE. It's a struggle every day, but we are here for you and we are here for each other, whether we stick to it or slip and fall.

Ok, tomorrow I will be stopping, now that I know you guys know it, I have to. You see I am a closet smoker, and now that I have come out IT IS ALL OVER!! Hope to be getting support as I go, as I will give the same for you. Junk food and caffine will have to wait though!

There's no way I could give up coffee too!

I have, though, inadvertently given up alcohol. I just can't seem to enjoy a beer without a smoke... so... no beer!

You can do it! I quit cold turkey, but let me tell you... I wish I'd had medication of some sort. It was awful, you know, you've done it already. But... we're here when you need to complain about how badly you need that smoke!

Start - you are not a quitter - but a winner!! You can do this!

Yup, your secret is out!! The door is off that closet!!

Tomorrow is your day, okay :)

Ok, I will come out so to speak. Can't wait, seems so stupid to me that I would even want to anyway. I would really like to be around for all the up coming events in my life. I know I know stop talking the talk and walk the walk! Ok then, tomorrow it is. See you then. A lot!!

Not only is the door off but Heart, now has the door bolts so you can't hide behind it now. Start, the only way to quit is any way you can. There is no fool proof way. You know your body as well as yourself. We pass no judgement here only support. People fall from time to time and we understand that. Were here to help you up. There's gum, lozengers, zyban, and chantix. As well as cold turkey. I forgot the patches (I wish they made a caffiene patch) We know where you're coming from and how hard it is. Smoking is addictive and breaking the hold is a big step but not an impossible one.
When I quit I told my husband to buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride. I have kids too and they were my inspiration as well as my conscience. Do what ever you can to quit and were here on the top branch spurring you on.
We owe it all to Cbw, who brought us all together and the courage to quit our respective addictions. Mine being caffiene now. Cigs was 2 years ago. We inspire each other with love friendship and strength.
I hope we can inspire you and you'll stay.
Were all goddesses in our own way.

Btw have you heard about the terrorist arested at fort dix and cherry hill today? Both in my back yard so to speak.
But I'm cool, grace under fire. I just wish my knees would stop knocking together.
Hehe

chippers

Thanks, chippers. I will do my best! Have a wonderful day.

Hello everybody,

Just dropping in to say a quick hello. Little bit hectic here lately.

Hope all is well for everybody. Sending my best to everybody here. Love you all.

Joe and Superbaby family.

Hope everybody is smiling right now. :D

Morning Joe and my lovely lady's, I am just about smiling I sear though if anything else happens I'm going to run for the hills tee hee
Lots of love to you all and I hope your days are good and stress free xxxxxxxx

Stress free, Oh that would be good. Is that possible? Maybe, depending on what kind of drugs I take. Lol Just kidding.

The only time it is stress free, is when I come home and I see my beautiful wife smile, and my little boy happy to see his papa. Oh those are the moments.

Joe

Just wait till he is walking Joe and comes to greet you at the door hehehehe ben loves that.

Good Morning to all of you Beautiful people.

** Sending lots of hugs **

Hello my Lovely Ah how's work today?

Hi my sweet Laura - okay. Hope you are feeling better and the landlord takes care of you guys quickly.

Chippers - Yes. I did see the news.:mad: and that's all I will say. Oh and I love you as well as the rest of you incredible people.

Um, Startover - time for check in :D

Love you guys.

Hehehehehehe startover is hiding lol I have not seen any action here from them today giggle

Hehe caffeine patches... remnds me of "meet the robinsons"... cute movie if you haven't seen it. My son loved it, but I was sobbing like a baby. Lol... not sad, just sweet.

Good Luck Startover... I quit smoking 12 days ago. I found that suckers help a lot. You use your mouth and hand... so it helps with that oral fixation thing... I did however have a relapse on the caffeine... but I did switch back to regular coke from Diet, and believe me I am drinking far less of that liquid sugar... blech!

How is everyone today? You all were busy last night...

/stares bleary eyed at the screen, trying to come up with something witty to say

I need more coffee

/realizes that that wasn't witty, and goes back to her corner

LOL bless you syn pass's over a double espresso here that will kick start the brain hehehehehe

Giggle.

Mmmmm... espresso.

I love you Laura.

If Ben didn't have such a hold on you, I'd steal you away.

I aim to please my sweet ;)

Good morning everyone, hope all is good. I am just now getting my first cup of coffee. I told my husband I am quitting so I really have to do it now. Deep breaths all day and I should be good. At least till I wake up tomorrow morning! Let me get more coffee, and geeze what time is it there, it is only 7:15 here.

Hehehehehe you can do it startover

2 hours going strong. I can't turn back now... The sunshine is gone today, a little dreary, perfect time to plant some pretty flowers out front. Keep myself busy and take deep breaths. See you later.

Hehehehehe get planting I planted out some lovely red lavender this weekend it's a new one from kew gardens :D I'm looking forward to seeing it the red flowers in the picture are amazing.

I want a garden!

/jealous

That does sound beautiful. We have a huge garden for the first time so we will be tilling for the next week. Can't wait to see the kids pull their carrots and such from the garden. That is priceless. Kids seem to think it all grows at the store. Anyway, good luck with the lavender, I love walking by those, they smell wonderful.

Startover... you're doing great!

Great idea to keep busy--I found occasionally that meditation helped get over the worst of the cravings, and if that didn't work, I just took a walk! Of course, I quit in January, when being outside was a good reminder of why I quit in the first place!

Very nice, Synnen. January huh? Good job. Every time I quit, I just took long deep breaths like I am taking a good long drag off my marlboro red and ahhhhh, that curves the cravings for about 3 days for me, then it is on my way to repairing what I have been doing to my poor body. You can come to our house and get our garden in shape, I could use some help and support.

You know... if I could, I would. My mother says the same thing!

Hopefully, we will buy a house this year, and can have a garden of our own next year!

I just looked at the original post, wow, you guys, I was thinking I would take an hour and check it out but I have decided to get to know you guys with out reading ALL 165 +14 PAGES OF friendship. Good job you guys. Synnen, You will get that house, and when you do you can make a sweet garden for yourself, no matter how small or how big, it will be great! I am proud to be a "quitter" so to speak, I can do this.

Hey... we're proud of you, Startover.

It takes guts to admit that you're addicted to something, and then to DO something about it :)

Yes, thank you. I am going to get those flowers ready!

I wonder if I am going to be a "witch" in my posts, or mean. I think I will watch myself and see what happens. I am not too worried, it just crossed my mind.

I just looked at the origional post, wow, you guys, i was thinking I would take an hour and check it out but I have decided to get to know you guys with out reading ALL 165 +14 PAGES OF friendship.

A lot of wittering! I guess you needed more then an hour to read all of it. Lol

Wait until we get all of these pages filled up. Oh, maybe we should reminise sometimes and bring in some of the jokes over here to this thread. Lol

Especially the one about the monkey. Never laughed so hard. I think I pissed and crapped myself at the same time.

Joe

Yes bring some of the jokes. I would love to hear them. I am still not smoking, 4 hours! I am very proud, cause I have no one around me watching I could go out right now and have one but I WON'T DO IT! Laugh with you later...

No need to respond, I am just recording my 5th hour. Lovely...

Awsome, I will respond anyway. Lol That is what we do here at the wittering corner. Respond. Say whatever and support each other. I have not had junk food since, uhm the weekend. Ouch. I have been bad.

Joe

Joe, you will be OK, I am going to fill up on coffee all day, I won't even touch food unless it is junk! How's that for you. Why are a gorillas nostrils so big?



Cause he has big fingers. J/K couldn't help it. Stupid but cute.

Hehehehehe fab I love it I got an extreamly rude joke sent me yesterday ill post it later having a slightly manic time here xxxx

How do you catch a unique rabbit?

Yes how?

Wow I haven't had junk food since... umm... wow... im eating some now... wait.. Do sun chips count?

Great job Startover! The first day is the hardest... the second gets a little easier, and you are pretty much over the hump after the third day.

Sorry I haven't been on much, bit of a baby scare this morning... but we're OK now after an ultrasound, and some bloodwork. Healthy heart in my little blob of cells...

Glad everything is okay, Alka.

For the rabbit: Unique up on it.

How do you catch a tame rabbit?

Tame way... unique up on it.

Hehe... I love it...

What do you call a proctologist from Jamaica?

Poke'mon... hehe

You guys are great, keep putting a smile on my face. I decided last night that I wouldn't go through with this quitting thing unless I could do it being happy. I am going through withis quitting thing without being witchy! And I am happy about it. How's that? 6 hours and I will be cleaning the house from top to bottom and one side to the other side. Deep breaths are working right now. Having cravings but ignoring them. Love the jokes silly!

Just stay busy, I find that when I'm bored is when I miss the cigs the most... and like I said.. buy lots of suckers... those caramel apple suckers last the longest...

6 hours 45 min. I am still being kind of nice. HAHAHAHAHAHHA (my witches laugh) I will get you my pretty! Poor kids, just wait till rest is over and they see me like this. I am trying to make this (deep breath) funny, I am smiling though!

Right you ready for my rude joke??

Let me know when you get ready to fly in here with your broom, because when you do that, this guy is taking a vacation. I know I am supposed to be brave being a lion, this lion is afraid of witches. Lol

I am ready.

Father comes home and finds his daugter with a pink dildo up her ##watsit## and shouts what the f##k are you doing??
Daughter says well if you won't let me have a boyfriend this is my substitute...
So next day daughter comes home and finds her father with the pink dildo up his arse and a can of beer in his hand... daughter shouts what the f##k are you doing... father replys having a beer with your new boyfriend...

Lol

Yes love rude jokes. I am always the nice one but sometimes I keep my costume close by. I just talked to my husband and I told him how long it has been, he has never smoked so he just doesn't know. I guess I could ask him not to drink his dumb ole beer every night. Then he might know. (HE LOVES BEER) If he could marry it, he would. Anyway, I am afraid, I am wanting a cig. I am taking deep breaths and drinking coffee still... JOKE PLEASE!

Oh #%&@ that was a good one. I am better now. Thanks

Tee hee I just had to share I knows its crude but its funny

I have bad ones, but I think some would be offended. Maybe I will save one or two for another day. Lol

Don't be such a grump come on and share them

What's the definition of a gynecologist?
I blinked and found we have 165 posts. Wow. Talk about the populars. I love it. Start we all went through the mood swings while quitting, so we hear you and we're here for you.
As for sun chips being junk food, when you're a goddess there is no such thing as junk food.
Joe you can't go on vacation. Superbaby won't like that and neither will we. h@@@ has no wrath like angry goddesses.
Syn, I want a garden too. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to plant one.
If each of you can tell me what your favorite plant or flower is, I'll try to plant it. Once it blooms, I'll post pics of it.
AH you're an angel as always and I love you too.

Chippers

Ya, share them if you got them. We all need a good laugh...

Go on chippers

7 hours and some minutes! Wooo Hoooo! I will get out my kids jokes if you need me to.

The definition of a gynecologist is a spreader of old wives tails.

LOL... ya'll are BAD. I love it!

Chippers, my favorite flower is Lily of the Valley. It's fairly easy to not kill ;)

Tee hee oh my I so need these giggles hell my evening has been stressfull

Are you all right Curlybenswife? I love the jokes Chippers. I just went out side to feed the dog, and I felt like I was going out to have a smoke. I didn't but I wanted to1

Start its been a flipping crazy few days and today just hasn't been any better my little one honked all over daddy earlier and then just as I was about to eat my neighbour called saying could I spare her an hour to talk heck ill do anything for that women she saved my rear last night and gave me her old fridge (mine died) but you know when you just feel so tierd and all you want is to just sit and chill well that's how I feel and I'm gradually calming down I just hope that tomorrow is a little less crazy lol.

I hope tomorrow will be better too! Just get everyone one to bed then sit for a few minutes by yourself, even if it is just 5. I know I will. I might even overdose on some nyquil just so I can get to sleep. HAHAHA

Lavender, chammomile, and some valerian. A good knock on the head. You will be sleeping for hours. Hee Hee.

i hope tomorrow will be better too! Just get everyone one to bed then sit for a few minutes by yourself, even if it is just 5. I know i will. I might even overdose on some nyquil just so I can get to sleep. HAHAHA

Well its just gone 11pm I'm off to bed sleep tight me lovelys xxxxxxx

Ni night

What is a quarter pounder sandwich from Mcdonalds like ?

I am not good at retelling jokes that I have heard from others, but I will do my best. Good at written ones.

Recording: 9 hours. Oh my goodness, this is easier than I remember. I am doing so much better than last time, I could just cry. I wish I would have done this 60 million yesterdays ago... No sweat... deep breaths...

Recording: 9 hours. Oh my goodness, this is easier than I remember. I am doing so much better than last time, I could just cry. I wish I would have done this 60 million yesterdays ago...........No sweat.....deep breaths.......

That is excellent. You have all the support here. (;

No one is even curious about What is like a quarter pounder from mcdonalds, hee hee?

All right give it up...

What IS a quarter pounder like?

And Start... betcha last time you didn't have someone holding your hand like this!

I know I could have NEVER done it without this group!

Yes, thanks synnen. Did you ever think you wuold see me on here, with my high horse and all? LOL Mcdonalds anyone? Gross

A quarter pounder is like an anorexic women with a yeast infection.

After I heard that joke, do you think I ever wanted to eat junk food from mcdonalds again? I do not think so, but some how I block it out of my head when I do get one.

Yuck.

Gross, you wierdo. We should just post that at every mcdonalds and many people might just stop eating there. I myself have never been a fan. I like burrito boy! GROSS Joe

A guy at work told me that. I am sure that would stop anybody from eating their crap. Lol

I don't get it?

Yes, at least me. I have the kids thinking mcdonalds is disgusting but we go for wendys every long once in a while.

Startover22, I think you got it. Do you want to explain to Synnen?

Wendys is a lot healthier then Mcdonalds for sure.

It is all right occasionally but a lot of people today that is what they live off.

Ever watch Supersize me? All he had was mcdonalds for almost a month. He was healthy, but near the end of it. His liver, kidneys and other organs started to show signs of disease and getting ready to shut down.

That tells you a lot right there.

11 hours check in. How am I going to get to sleep? Should I really take some nyquill?
My husband is grumpy and the kids want to do lots, oh, I will just hide till morning. Maybe I will go sleep in the barn... LOL Quarter Pounder, how much does an anorexia girl weigh... tha would be the start to getting that joke. At least I think so...

Oh why not. Take a swig of the nyquill, just try not to replace one drug with another.

Good for you. 11 hours check in. Sleeping in the barn, that does not sound like fun.

Oh, lol Thank you for explaining the joke.

I am going to say goodnight to everyone who is here. It is 10 pm, and I am just wiped.

G'night. Tomorrow will be a new day!

Start that's great!! I'm proud of you. Before you know it you'll be passed the first 24 hours.
You're in the right place to quit. I really think the more you talk about it and not keep it bottled up is better for everyone. When I had the urde for a cig, I sucked on a tootsie pop(the small ones) or put sugar free gummie bears in the fridge. They get harder and take longer to eat
I made a deal with my boys not to smoke. I took my oldest (he was nine at the time) to the drug store and had him ask the guy at the counter for the niccoret gum. That way he was a part of me quitting. Knowing I made promises to the two people I couldn't disappoint helped me stay in the wagon.
Calling all goddesses and Joe. Please tell your favorite flower or outside plant so I can plan my garden.
Syn already gave me her's.
As for crude remarks, I had a really nasty patient ask me to go down on him. I said I was a vegaterian and didn't eat weinies. He never bothered me again.(true story)
As for Joe and mcdonalds, I'll never be able to look at a quarter pounder the same way again.
Laura, I hope you have a better day tomorrow. I'll be in and out until the afternoon so I'll catch up with everyone later.
Sorry for these long posts but I try to keep up with everyone.
Syn, I love lily of the valley too. It's the flower of may.
AH, you sweet lovely, I love ou too.

Sweet dreams fellow goddesses and joe.

Chippers

Thanks chippers, I will talk and talk and talk. I am actually doing really good right now but still want to smoke, cold turkey is hard but it gets done more quick. I feel great about this decision to quit. Grady my oldest son, knows and I can't let him down, especially him. I am almost through the day and ready for sleep.

I love pansies any color, any size. When the end of the season comes I pick them and press them, every time I open one of my magazines, one might fall out and I get a little piece of summer again. Love Pansies

As for mcdonalds, I am never going to eat there, I might have a milkshake or something but never ever eat there.

Why did tommy throw the clock out of the window?
He wanted to see time fly...

Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?
Cause it wanted to get to the BOTTOM...

Just one more...

Did you hear about the indian chief who drank 15 cups of tea?
That night he drown in his tea-pee...

14 hours, just checking in...
G'night

Very cute.
Why did the farmer feed his cows money?
He wanted rich milk.

What kind of coffee did they serve on the Titanic?







Sanka

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA! Very cute, I thought I was the only "corny" one here. See you all in the morning, I just took my swig of nyquill, I made it all day, 15 hours now. Doing good. Synnen, thanks. chippers, I perfer skim milk, so I guess I'll never be rich. Oh well. Sweet freams. See you tomorrow. I know I will need you...

I've seen a couple of you on other threads and when I saw this thread I just decided to stop and say Hi Y'all.
I quit smoking on my fortieth birthday. I was in the hospital after my appendix ruptured and had been well sedated for most of a week and had come off oxygen that morning. The motorcycle club came to see me and I bummed a cig from one of the guys who smoked my brand and a light from another. Of course somebody offered to jump up and down on my chest to get me started. One drag on that cig. And it tasted so bad that I gave it back. True story and I get to tell people that it cost me 18 thousand dollars to quit smoking.
In truth I smoked another month or so after getting out of hospital but did succeed in quitting. It's been 22 years now and if I can make it anyone can. Just hang in there and take it just as they say... One day at a time!

Wow Chaplin thank you for sharing you story it sure gives some inspiration lots of hugs to you and I'm glad your smoke free :D

Good morning everybody,

I am feeling really shaky today and sick to my stomach. I feel like I can not go to work. I car pool now to save gas money, but I feel like I do not want to go in to work today. Maybe I will make it through?

Arrg.

Bye for now.

Ive been feeling sick since Monday and everything here is just bloody crazy I woke up this morning to find the broken back door wide open and the cats gone I'm really not having a very good week.
Have you eaten anything Joe?

Not yet, this morning. Plus hardly any sleep. Guess that does not help. Now I have to run and go. I will try to eat something at work.

My God, Laura your not having any luck this week at all. Hopefully it settles down for you real soon.

I swear Joe I'm starting to feel like some kind of loose loony cannon lol
Have a good day xx

Hello and good morning all! I missed all the good jokes I see... oh well... IM am sorry everyone is feeling lousy and having hard days...

My favorite flower is Stella D'Oro Daylillies... or Heather...

For StartOver: I liked to read this when I first quit to see how I was benefitting myself...

When smokers quit, within twenty minutes of smoking that last cigarette the body begins a series of changes.

At 20 minutes after quitting:


Blood pressure decreases

Pulse rate drops

Body temperature of hands and feet increases

At 8 hours:


Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal

Oxygen level in blood increases to normal

At 24 hours:


Chance of a heart attack decreases

At 48 hours:


Nerve endings start regrowing

Ability to smell and taste is enhanced

The first year after quitting:

At 2 weeks to 3 months:


Circulation improves

Walking becomes easier

Lung function increases

1 to 9 months:


Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decreases

1 year:


Excess risk of coronary heart disease is decreased to half that of a smoker

Long-term Benefits of Quitting

At 5 years:


From 5 to 15 years after quitting, stroke risk is reduced to that of people who have never smoked.

At 10 years:


Risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one-half that of continuing smokers

Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases

Risk of ulcer decreases

At 15 years:


Risk of coronary heart disease is now similar to that of people who have never smoked

Risk of death returns to nearly the level of people who have never smoked

Cool thanks for that al how very interesting xxx hope your well xxx

I am having a really cranky day. Maintenance issues in my apartment, having more of what I hate given to me at work (apparently I'm good at it), Mother's day ALWAYS makes me cranky, and I think I have PMS to top it all off.

And I feel like my words were thrown back at me in that silly "Love Spells" thread.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Recording: 24 hours. I can't say it has been easy, I craved all day yesterday but I feel good, I am surprised.

Synnen, I am PMSing too, it is going to be OK. (I whispered that)
Yes it is thrown at you because I am sure you are good at it.
Yer

Sorry let me finish,

Yer day Synnen is going to get better.

curlybenswife, you are the cutest of all. You sure are.
Have a great day tody...

alkalineangel,
Thanks for all the great info. Not so good to know what I was doing, but great to know what I am not doing now. Can't wait to run up a flight of stairs.

It is beautiful today here in Oregon. I really want to go to the beach!

Grrrrrrrrrr Hi everyone. In a cranky mood myself (hee hee, sometimes it's fun)

GREAT INFO there Al.

Startover - how darn proud are you of what your doing. You just keep it up girl. Laugh at it if you can. Just know, it is soooooo worth it. Honeslty, my skin looks different then it did while I smoked. My face looks healthier, if that makes sense. Stay strong.

CBW hope things are going better for you.

Hugs to Joe and Superfamily.

Chippers you just are my sunshine.

Synnen, okay who's barking at you now. I tried to find the thread but couldn't. I just love you Synnen.

Hugs and grrrrrr to all :)

Thanks allheart, I am trying to do it with a smile on my face. My kids are very nice to me, it should go as planned. Smile Smile Smile!

My husband was grumpy all night, I didn't even talk to him really. I feel bad, but he was really grumpy. No support there. I feel kind of stupid because I took the nyquil. Oh well I guess.

Are you feeling better Joe. The bummy tummy is going around here and I don't want it.

Did you find your cats CBW?

WOOOO HOOOOO deap breaths. I am all right I love that song, I'm all right nobody worried about me, I'm all right...

LOL... Allheart, no one is barking at me. I just gave advice in a thread called "Love Spells", and the girl I gave the advice to didn't like what I had to say at first, then came back later and said practically the same thing I did. Was just kind of funny in a frustrating way.

After your reminder last time, I'll be sure to point out when people are barking at me to you so that you can go in and slap their hands for me ;)

LOL Synnen - That's my girl :)

I will have to check out love spells... sounds interesting.

Under Bereavement, there is a poster that I am not sure I can help. Anyone want to try and help her out? Shatteredsoul is her name and I think she is great, just needs more than my advice. I can't seem to word anything right with her.

Max and Jett are fighting I got to go!

Thanks synnen, I haven't lost anyone really close to me or that I thought I was in love with. I know my time to lose some people in my life is coming and I hope you are there to help me through...

Recording: almost 26 hours I think I will survive. I like that song to "I will survive"

Please will someone take over for me for a few hours so I can sleep I hate feeling like this I just know if it carrys on I'm going to become ultra miserable and fed up.

Singing actually helped me a LOT!

It's hard to smoke and sing at the same time, and all.

I've had a weird existence, I think, so I kind of know what she's going through. I don't know what to tell her that would help, though :(

Please will someone take over for me for a few hours so i can sleep i hate feeling like this i just know if it carrys on im gonna become ultra miserable and fed up.


Sweetheart you still under the weather?

Its just been one hell of a bumpy 8 days I've had enough now I really have.

Ok, I feel like I am 15 and just getting to know how the world turns... I heard about different stuff and ideas. Do I live in a hole or what? I don't even get the dirty joke my husband and his friends say. I am a woman damn it... I am going to break free... I want to know about everything!! Here I go.

Why don't I know about casting spells? Why? Have I been sheltered?

Its just been one hell of a bumpy 8 days ive had enough now i really have.


CBW - Would it not be time to go to the docs??


under Bereavement, there is a poster that I am not sure i can help. Anyone want to try and help her out? shatteredsoul is her name and I think she is great, just needs more than my advice. I can't seem to word anything right with her.

Max and Jett are fighting I gotta go!


Start you and Synn did beautful. Boy, I barely made it through that post. The tears for her just kept coming.

But she was so blessed to have a special friend. After her pain leaves her she will be able to smile at the memories once again.

Just so sad.

I hate death.

Laura... you need me to come beat someone up for you? I have a pipe wrench, and I can use it!


You know that I'd come baby you if I were closer, honey.

Start... MOST people don't know about casting spells. It's better that way, really! There has been in the last several years though a few TV shows about witches (mostly inaccurate) and that's given a whole generation of young girls a really bad image of what casting spells can do.

I love smoking! I love it, I love it, I love it. I am not sure I will ever change my mind.
Been doing it since I was 14 years, I am 32 now... almost 33. I guess it is time to say good bye, my body and mind want a drag. I will not give in. I will not. Was it OK that I told you how old I was?

Yes that post gave me the goose bumps and tears as well. Thanks for the help, your posts were absolutely brilliant... I thought people would respond along with me, I just couldn't find the words for some reason, maybe because I haven't gone through any of those feelings yet...

You know, Laura, I know someone that was in the mafia, I don't even know his real name. (not kidding) I might be able to team up with synnen and her pipe wrench to help out...
I am in that kind of mood right now anyway. I am still smiling though!1

I think I just lost it in a post. I need to shut up. I am taking deep breaths, this is harder than yesterday...

It's going to GET harder too.

I'm not going to lie to you.

By next Tuesday, you'll be MISERABLE. You'd happily kill someone for a cigarette, at times. YOU CAN DO IT, THOUGH.

I will probably always consider myself a smoker. I LOVE it. I love the taste, the feeling, the whole kit and kaboodle. If *I* can quit, you can quit. I smoked from 18 to 32.

You can lose it here as often as you like. We'll just keep holding you up.

I think i just lost it in a post. I need to shut up. I am taking deep breaths, this is harder than yesterday.....


Hang tough girl. If they get to you, get up and leave the computer. Don't let their goofiness make you fall off the branch. You know better than that!!

I still have my open pack of marlboro reds, in the laundry room right by the back door to go out to have a smoke. Synnen, I think I really lost it with a poster, I might have made a mistake, but it is really how I feel and I don't think I had any right to say it. I don't want to say I am sorry, but I probably should...

Thanks. I am going to lose it again I am sure...

it's going to GET harder too.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

By next Tuesday, you'll be MISERABLE. You'd happily kill someone for a cigarette, at times. YOU CAN DO IT, THOUGH.

I will probably always consider myself a smoker. I LOVE it. I love the taste, the feeling, the whole kit and kaboodle. If *I* can quit, you can quit. I smoked from 18 to 32.

You can lose it here as often as you like. We'll just keep holding you up.


Oh Synnen,

Oh how I will always be a smoker at heart too. Love the little white guys. They are and were my very best friends. Miss them terrible. BUT I REFUSE TO GO BACK. They say that is part of the additiction, the emotional attachment. Sure do miss them. But nope isn't going to go back

Where is our Laura.

Laura our you sick? Sweetie or upset. Or Sick and upset. Worried.

Say hello when you can.

Sending lots of love.

It will get easier... the first 3-5 days are the only "withdrawel days" you have... then the rest of the days are just kicking the "habits"... you know... rolling the window down in the car, pushing your chair away from the table after eating, when a commercial comes on the TV running outside... the habits... it is hard... but after you are past the withdrawel of the nicotene, you will def. have the energy to fight the habit.

Thanks for the note allheart. That is just what I needed. I am returning to my body now. I will be OK. 27 hours later and my kids are not in the closet with their mouths taped shut.

Yeah I loved to smoke... or at least stepping outside for a smoke on a pretty day... or taking my 15 minutes outsiode at work a couple times a day... you know... but I love being a non smoker now... Im friendlier and I can actually play with my son without getting short of breath.

Yes alkaline, you are right. I just don't want to wait, I just want to be done. Thanks guys for the support. I am going to play a game of Zathura with the boys...

Ooops... I misunderstood. Ithought you'd just gotten a little crazy with a post in this thread.

I lose it with people posting questions all the time. I apologize when I know I'm wrong, but sometimes people NEED to have someone yell at them. Not always, but sometimes. And sometimes the sheer density of people makes you just want to rant in frustration. It's all good!

Apologize if you need to, but otherwise let it go. It's life.

They don't want to play anymore, they just want pop sicles. Who can blame them.

Chewed gum found in Big Extra burger - Yahoo! Canada News (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/09052007/3/canada-chewed-gum-found-big-extra-burger.html)

It is kind of funny how we were talking about mcdonalds and look what happens in the news.

Barf! That is about all I can say, at least he will be packing his own lunches from now on...

Eww... I had that uneasy sick feeling in my stomach just now...

I have been singing "baby its cold outside" all day... can't understand why... its like 85 degrees outside today.

Wish we could hear you sing it. Oh my gosh, I think that is what I am missing, I don't have the radio on...

I guess, I have been feeling that way for a while. I just wanted to share all those feelings with all my friends here. What are friends for. Sharing. Lol

I found a fly in my fries once before.

Anyway, we all need reminders and support. My goal is to stop all junk food, especially take out.

Hope all is doing well with all of your own personal goals.

I was singing Get In The Ring By Guns and Roses at work, too my so called boss. Anybody know that song?

The son of a preacher man is always in my head. A little bit of kid rock and bad company too...
I am proud of you to stay away from junk. I think that would be harder for me than quit smoking, it is always everywhere, even when you go to a pet store, they have some candy for your convinient last minute purchases. Damn, will we ever win these battles..

Lol... nope... there is always something else... see right now bubblelicious is benefitting from my cigarette quitting. Soon I will be addicted to that.

For that split second it did... Hey we all do stuff like that. I know my old boss thought I was a nutcase. We had a lot of fun with it though...

Need to have fun with it for sure. Lol Oh, and I might just enjoying it a little too much. Oh well, it happens.

I love children, I love children, I love children, I...

You love children. Somebody doesn't. I read this post where this mum is saying she is mad, because her boyfriends guy friend that has been living with them spanks her daughter all the time in front of her. She is not sure what to do about it. I will give you all a link later. I guess with my language today you will not be surprised on how I responded. Hmmmmm.

I love children and I am still not smoking, I guess I needed to dig a little deeper. Maybe it should say I am not smoking but I still love children, or I love smoking and the children are still hanging in there with me... I would love to read the post, bring it on

Wow, just got a chance to read it, looks like all of you are handling it just fine. Your language was acceptable Joe. Everyone knows that.

Wow, Imagine that. I bet a lot of people actually want to strangle the mother for being so, how do I say it nicely niave and unconfrontational?

Bloody hell you lot natter ive just had 4 hours of mayhem and ben just got in its 8.30pm im off to cook dinner before i starve love to you all xxxxx

More Mayhem and another late dinner. Wow, sorry to hear that your having another hectic one. It comes in long spurts it seems. Well you should have had Ben make something or have him bring home a treat especially with things being so crazy.

Love you and family.

From Superbaby family.

Bens only just got home took him 4 hours instead of 2 because of the rain :(

Ack... poor Laura and family :(

/mucho hugs and some espresso and chocolate your way, sweetie

Oh laura he drives 2 hours everyday for work? Back and forth? Four if it is raining? Wow, 15 20 min is long enough for me. Try and have a good dinner... please don't starve on our account.

My word will I be happy when today is over and it's the weekend I've had enough this week to sink a battle ship I really have

Oh CBW, you are going to make it, you are never thrown more than you can catch. I am sorry you feel like crap. Maybe it won't be too late to take a bath (with the bubbles)

He only drives that distance when he has to go to the other plant normally its only ten minnutes
