SPRING BONFIRE HERE NOW!

[Giulia]

Starting off this blaze with a little tinder from the forest floor....

Adding in my 122,288 un-smoked Stupid Sticks

WELCOME ALL QUITTERS!  

For those unfamiliar with our bonfire tradition... click on the following link:  About Bonfires and How to Participate (it's pretty simple, just figure out the number of cigarettes you usually smoke in and day and multiply it by the number of days you've been quit.)  Scroll down to just past the Doors video and click on add a comment.  Or scroll through page by page and see how the party is progressing!)

I want to thank Shawn and all the other Bonfire starters for leading the way.

Here are a few  hors d'oeuvres to whet your appetites...

And a few beverages!

Or perhaps you'd prefer something with more of a citrus tang....

Maybe wine????  We're serving Rose'

And..... white

And red!

Pull up a chair....

Or flop into a....

Or maybe you brought one of these....

And a little music to begin the party!!!

Sit back, enjoy your smoke-free beautiful selves!

[ShawnP]

Good evening! well maybe its later than that. Just got off of work a little while ago. Catching up on the reading here. I am throwing in 37,360 nasties into the fire!!!! ps i see a video icon on mine

[ShawnP]

Love the calendar boys! It's been a hot day haha

[Giulia]

ShawnP‌  Well you may have the video icon showing, but your video came up as a big blank on my computer.  Hope "they" can figure out why some us have the icon and some don't.  Buggering little thang, ain't it!   This has been edited.  Before I posted I saw no video there, only a big blank screen.  After I posted I saw the video.  Who knows...

.  

[ShawnP]

yeah thats odd. i found my way back here. Its not easy getting to this fire and to the end of the comments. I saw my video originially but when i came back, all i see is blanks too. i am better off staying on this page and refreshing lol

[MePlus3]

I saw the blank screen too maybe it was still loading idk

[ShawnP]

yessss you're right. Now i see it again.

[ShawnP]

Anybody want to dance with me???

[shashort]

All the videos looks blank on my end. Even the ones I already listened to worked is blank now. I still have the video icon though.

[shashort]

Well never mind now I see Shawns lol

[jazzy3]

1113 days since I quit. Hooray and Congratulations to everyone here !!!!!

[pir8fan]

NOT sure if I am in the right place! Does anyone know where a guy can get a frozen margarita with EXtra salt (don't tell Sandy)??

[ShawnP]

I missed you, Legend  I  heard chicago on the xm on way to work and thought of you. I figured you would be here with one of their songs.  Have a good night.

[ShawnP]

hahaha shashort‌ there is a ghost here.

[ShawnP]

well i am being moderated for a comment. Too funny.

[Giulia]

pir8fan‌  Does anybody know.... I was waitin' on ya to start pouring the margaritas!  

Enough salt aroun the rim for you Tommy?

[MePlus3]

Yes you're in the right place! And you could get that margarita in exchange for your unsmoked sickers! Make this fire bigger!!

[MePlus3]

I'm down for a dance but no moonlight lambada lol 

[MePlus3]

There blank on my end too but it's no biggie I'm still having a blast!

[ShawnP]

hahaha i had to look that one up.

[MePlus3]

Lambada is the "forbidden dance" my mom had a vcr tape on how to do it and the history of it and blah blah I was way too young to know about that!

[ShawnP]

yes lol. i read it under the urban description.......The forbidden dance-an extremely sexy dance, legend says that doing this dance can get a girl pregnant. oh my.....well there is no way i can get pregnant and i am too old for that now. hahaha

[MePlus3]

I never knew why it was forbidden wow when I watched the video as a child I could see how that's possible sort of. It remind me of a sexual salsa dance in a sense. The rebel in me always wanted to try it but now that I know why it's forbidden I changed my mind 3 is more than enough! Lol

[pir8fan]

Having a hell of a time trying to do anything here!

Please throw in these 106,960 unsmoked KOOL MILDS!

[freeneasy]

Hi Tommy, Nice to see you (:

[Daniela2016]

There you go, freeneasy‌!

[pir8fan]

Thanks for the Margarita G! It was the perfect amount of salt!

[Daniela2016]

I got the "Ring of fire" but it's being "moderated", probably too much fire, risky business

[pir8fan]

Hey Jim! Good to see you too! VA Beach soon!!

[ShawnP]

Daniela2016‌, i am beginning to think certain words do that. I mentioned ghost 

[MePlus3]

I think these are the hours of spammers so everything's being moderated! 

[ShawnP]

I'm heading to bed. It's been a long day. Have a good night!

[Daniela2016]

Thanks ShawnP‌, a couple of days I responded in French, to Giulia's reference to a French photographer, of course it was moderated, but eventually approved, I was just admiring his amazing work!

But now with the "Ring of fire" to a Bonfire event?  Hopefully it'll pass and we can listen to it!

[MePlus3]

Bacon better not be moderated lol goodnight I'm hitting the hay and will be back tomorrow 🙂 sleep tight yall!

[Giulia]

Just an FYI for all of you (Legend JonesCarpeDiem freeneasy   who can't seem to find the video button on here - I've been told by Mark that  "only  those who can create content in the Celebrations and Events can include images."  Obviously Mark didn't mean images because we ALL seem to be able to post pictures but not videos.  If that's the case, then I would suggest all future bonfires be held in our own blog content and not placed in the Celebrations and Events area of the site.  Confusion and restrictions don't help quitters stay quit.  A party is supposed to be fun and easy to participate in.   So let's find the easiest place in which to participate where ALL can post all content available within the site, (images AND videos)  say I.  

[pir8fan]

Amen!

[Giulia]

And PS - I got three bonfire moderation notifications - so don't feel like it's only YOU.  Let's hope.... let's just hope what we hope..

Thank you all for participating today.  Heading to bed.  See whomever drops by manana!

We're way over a million usmoked as of 12:25 PM Eastern time on Day One of this Bonfire.

 Current total:  1,337633

[linda258]
