Piano in gloves?  Lip syncing not even close!  I am left wondering, too, how they shot the aerials.  I don't think they had drones back then, did they? A helicopter would have blown everything all around.  We probably didn't even notice back in the day.   We are SO spoiled with today's productions.  

(I am almost surprised there wasn't a dinosaur in the background of it!)

LOVE Ringo and the music, though!  Thanks for sharing this!  Good memories!

Quitting:

It don't come easy..thanks for the tune @Cousin-Itt 

@MarilynH sick & tired of being sick & tired, is that not the truth. I am only 76 days into my 2nd quit and  boy do I remember that emotional fight again to make that decision to kill the monster. Vigilance...this site and fellow EX'ers keeps that in tack. It is a daily commitment to ourselves to keep up the good fight.

Quitting nicotine means "Give it EVERYTHING".  Yes, not 1/2, not 1/3, not 3/4.....if you want OUT from the addiction you have to give it everything.  Quitting nic can't be a passing thought or a whisper, it requires ALL of your being. You have to be completely present and WILLING to be a bit uncomfortable for an unknown amount of time.  I haven't always been able to do that so for many years I could not quit.  When I wasn't willing to be a bit uncomfortable, I couldn't quit smoking.  

@Cousin-Itt  Thank you for the video....not even sure I have ever seen it.  Who knew Ringo could play the piano??  Who knew anyone could play a piano with gloves on?   Ringo had a few good songs for sure.

@MarilynH  Thanks again for yet another cheerleading session on getting rid of this poison from our lives~ the memes say it all! @Cousin-Itt ~ Great choice of music regarding the struggle of maintaining a successful quit. I am literally just 43 days away from my TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY of being totally nicotine-free and am still re-couping from an unfair and lingering smoking dream I had last night 😡 BUT, I have stayed clean through many, many "no matter whats" since June 1, 2022 and I don't intend to let this one trip me up! Thanks for all the ongoing support, EX FAmily!
