Looking at all these people.....I'm the one on the far right.....wish I looked like the gal in front with the pink sweater!!!

(who remembers Romper Room?)

I see Marilyn and Mag.   Terrie is here and Giulia.    Well, there's Jim, Dale and Thomas.      

Who else is out there?????

Breakfast time!

It's cold so we need something warm:

(Did I ever tell you that as a kid I had to eat "mush" every single day?)

Maybe you're reading this later so a bowl of soup would be good.

image

Here's what I'm going to make today

image

With lots of hot peppers so I can sweat!

Guess what day it is today?????

NATIONAL STATIC ELECTRICITY DAY

It may be a little shocking, but National Static Electricity Day is January 9.

Remember when you were a kid and you took a balloon and rubbed it all over your hair?

image

And then it looked like this!

image

So today.....carry a balloon with you

image

walk up to a stranger

image

and very quickly  rub the balloon on her head and then run away

image

Won't that be fun!!!!

Maybe you should wear a ski mask so that the "victim" can't identify you

image

OK.......let's do something fun.......

how about everyone sharing a knock knock joke

image

Can you beat that one??????

My name is Sharon and I have 887 Days of Freedom!

BTW.....LasCruces, NM high today is 41 and sunny.        Minneapolis is 7 and dreary!

You people are hilarious, sorry, I don't have any knock, knock jokes or any other jokes that I can remember at the moment, if that changes, I will post something.

I think HAMPTON is now HAMPTONS because of something that happened to her computer or something in August and she said she could not access her account. In any event, CONGRATULATIONS Hampton AND Hamptons on 400 days, hope she is doing alright and that she has internet access.

I am hopping aboard with 720 days today.

About the Author
Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP I've thought so many times about quitting, done a few quits with the longest being 9 months. Blamed that relapse on my sister because she broke her hip. This time I feel different 8/5/13:The first day of my forever quit. About me? Well, I'm old enough that I am going to semi-retire (work 2 days per week) starting in October, 2013. I have 2 grown sons, 2 older sisters, 2 cats. I'm passionate about my work, love mystery books. I give all the glory for my work, any successes I may have to God and prayer. I have a lot of people praying for me right now and that is where I feel the strength. I also am finding strength, information and support from this site. I hope I can offer some of that to others when I get past the newbie stage. 9/4/13 30 days today!! I've learned so much since I've been coming here each morning (and sometimes at night). Words: choose, not try-----decision----not giving anything up, but gaining---I'm worth so much more than a cigarette. These are only a few of the pearls of wisdom that I've taken to heart. So many great people. I learn something each and every time I come on here. I'm learning about myself too. I teach clients everyday that feelings are feelings and ok to have, but I've always fought that concept myself. I heard when I was little "what have you got to cry about?" so I learned not to cry. If anger was shown it meant going back and shutting the door 10 times quietly or maybe getting the wrath of my parent. So, I learned not to cry, not to feel anger. I'm learning now that I have those feelings and that smoking pushed them aside and down. They are there and real. Now I'm trying to learn how to show and express them instead of going off by myself for a smoke. I have supporters. The biggest pride is what I feel in myself. With each day I wake up I can say "Today is day ____" and I feel proud. Not the kind of pride like I could never fail. That is a realization and why I need to be aware and conscious each moment. No, smoking doesn't solve anything. And today I am proof that I can go on without the crutch of a cigarette! 8/5/17 4 Years Quit!!! Who would have "thunk" it? I never took responsibility for my relapses, always blamed whatever it was that occurred. So, when I quit on 8/5/13 I knew I REALLY wanted it to work, knew that I needed as much support as I could get but I think deep down I was afraid this one wouldn't take either. So, I did as much positive as I could: Chantix, prayer, atomic fire balls, telling friends AND coming to the EX many times throughout the day. The people here became my friends as well as my family. I could share when I was struggling and get encouragement. Have there been struggles in my life since then that would have "caused" me to smoke in the past? Of course! Life goes on and troubles happen even when you don't smoke. I lost my sister who was also my best friend, my diagnosis of lung cancer and the treatment that has gone on since then (dr tells me "not curable, but treatable"). Would smoking make any of those things better? OF COURSE NOT! But when you're an addict the brain tells tons of lies to you..... Newbies: use the resources that the EX provides to you and you will have major milestones too. I thank my family here and love each and every one of you that have helped me! Too many names to mention.
