Regarding Freedom Train

  As i was posting off of my list for the Freedom train, i had originally set my numbers of being active to 100 days active on the site. As i work on the list today for the new calendar, i am going to have to mark alot of people MIA. I can see that  there has been a change through the years since i first started with activeness on this site and the train.  It's definitely dwindled. At one time, Pir8fan (Tommy) was thinking about scraping the train, that maybe it ran its course, but I do know how some still want it. Thus, I am making changes once again. In order to be the spotlight on the train for your celebration, you must be active on site for 50 days or less. Active means commenting on someones message board, a blog or  writing your own blog. If you just talk privately through inbox, i do not know that you are active! Also, check your settings, if it doesn't show your activity, but friends instead, i don't know if you are active unless you blog.  If you haven't showed up on site for 100 days or more, you will be removed from my list. 
   
  Sorry If i may offend some but i believe we should give the spotlight on the train to the ones that show an interest to this site. I know how life can get busy, but i am sure you can find 5 min or less to come show your support to this site within those 50 days.
   
  ps to see your settings for your page, at bottom of your profile page where it says activity, click on edit, u can choose to show my activity and to show it to logged in users. This setting will allow me to see if you are active.

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
