17 Chicks running scared now!

The trees starting this early might be a sign that this year's colour show might be a good one however, the change in the city normally is later that areas farther north. You may get lucky though Right now, it's warmed up again to summer like temps. Still getting cool overnight though so hopefully the colour change will continue.

Good morning, There is no real "demon" in our heads. Just stinking junkie thinking. So let's not negotiate with that junkie stinking thinking. Keep your quit. don't negotiate-repost for new quitters From terri2005 on 1/3/2006 10:04:22 AM I don`t negotiate From terri2005 on 12/9/2005 10:50:38 PM The United States has a policy of not negotiating with terrorists. And I have a similar policy. I don`t negotiate with Nico-Demons. Its not that I don`t talk to the demon now and then. He still visits once in a while even with 562 days since his last feeding. But I don`t negotiate. We just visit briefly. `How ya been?` `Better without YOU! But thanks for asking!` `How bout a little puff? I can still get some of your favorite brand.` `Sorry demon. No can do. You see...I made this little decision this morning, that just for today, I wouldn`t take that first puff of nicotine. And I`m keeping my promise. And those are nicotine. Poison in a paper tube. Sickarettes. I`d be breaking my word. To myself. To my friends. To my family. To my friends at the Q. Go away. ` `I just stopped by because I heard about that little problem at work or home or with your health or your love life . You could use some cheering up. Just one. Nobody will know.` `My work is wonderful. My home life is the best. My health is better than ever. And my wife loves me. Go Away...` `Wow! Things are good. Let`s celebrate with a sickarette!` `Maybe tomorrow. Catch me just before I wake up, ask for help, and give thanks for another great day on this wonderful planet. And for waking up smober healthy, and ALIVE! Who knows....ya might get lucky. Now go away.` `How about a drink? I`m in good with the Alcohol-Demon and he owes me a few favors...` `I bet. Go away. I`m going fishing.` Listen up newbies... A few short years ago I sat in the hospital being shot full of steroids and epinephrine just to keep me breathing another day. The x-rays showed COPD and the Dr. said the smokes were killing me. I couldn’t get up my stairs to go to bed, much less hunt and fish. But I kept negotiating with the demon, and he always won. Today...I`m off to the high mountains of Montana for three days in the wilderness. My new lungs are a real joy on the steep hikes and 7000+` elevations. And though I`ve gained a few pounds, I feel like a million bucks. And I no longer negotiate with the demon, though we do talk now and then. One day at a time. A conscious decision upon awakening. A simple prayer in the morning `please help me, just for today, to stay away from that first puff of nicotine.`. And in the evening, out of common courtesy, a simple `Thanks` seems to work. And above all, I don`t take that FIRST puff, one day at a time. I won`t be here to watch you this weekend. I won`t know if you take that first puff or not. But you`ll know. And the demon will know. And if you open that door, just a crack, he`ll be in like a flash. He`s fast. And he`s cunning, baffling, and powerful. All you have to do is refuse to negotiate. When he shows up...send him packing. Tell him to come back tomorrow. And don`t take that first puff, just for today. This is what the demon doesn`t want you to know: If you don`t take that first puff, one day at a time, it is impossible to fail! If you don`t take that first puff, just for today, you`ll absolutely, positively, be 100% guaranteed to go to bed as a WINNER tonight! troutnut1

Thank you @DenaliBlues @johnny5 @QuittingGirl and @Doreensfree I appreciate your support..

I had to ask Siri what 9 degrees in Fahrenheit is...LOL!! Americans don't do metric. That's chilly for this time of year isn't it Doreen, or is it normally that cool in Sept? @Reciprocity I'm hoping when I am up in Toronto next month, there will be some nice color on the trees. I have a tree in my backyard that turns yellow but it does it late, starting around the middle to the end of Oct. Autumn is my favorite season but I do hate what it leads into.
