G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

NOPE!

Nope!

The last photo taken at 3:30 in the afternoon.

I imagine you're right on that! It would be like nothing they ever saw before. I notice the birds, which were chirping away one minute, went completely silent when the sudden darkness came over us. The cat, who was outside, ran into the garage where there was a light on. Speaking of cats ... they had their own Eclipse today!

Nope...

To see it go from day to night like that is such a sight to behold. It's too bad it wasn't that dark down here in the city. But at least I got to see the actual eclipse. Your cats are quite cute, what are their names? I used to have a girl cat many years ago named Malcolm Chudley Jr. LOL!!!

Wow!!! That's great Mac!!! It really looks like night. Down here in NY City it didn't get as dark as I thought it would get but looking at the sun with the glasses was so cool....saw about a sliver of the sun as we had 90% totality Your pics are great too Reci. That is definitely some phenomenon. Hundreds of years ago people must have been so frightened when it happened. They probably thought the world was ending.

I got a couple as well but they were pretty crappy. My flash kept coming on because it was very dark out! Time was between 3:18 & 3:21 PM this afternoon. But you can tell, it was dark as night and that happened within about 10 seconds. Street lights came on, even my solar garden lights came on. We had total darkness for just over 3 minutes then, it got light again just as fast as when it got dark. Crazy!! The thing I wasn't expecting and completely amazed me is the speed at which it went from twilight to complete darkness then back to light again. You'll only ever see that in such a compressed time frame if you're in the path of totality for a solar eclipse. Partial eclipse won't give you that experience because it never gets completely dark. It was truly a once in a lifetime thing! I was thinking; what's the big deal before it happened but it truly was a big deal!

NOPE!!

NOPE!!

Hey All! Wishing you all the best on quitting smoking. I quit December 27, 2017 and haven't craved a cigarette probably since 8 to 12 months after quitting. This past week, I have counted seven times that I've craved a smoke. I was going to ask if anyone else has ever experienced something like that after so many years without smoking, but as I started writing my question, I realized that I think I know where my cravings are coming from. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it sounds kind of stupid, but we just adopted a very young puppy and my schedule and stress feels a lot like it did when I had newborn babies. I quit for all of my pregnancies, but started smoking a year after my first child was born and a couple weeks after my second child was born. Maybe this puppy schedule is reminding my brain what I used to do to chill out when my kids were babies... Take a smoke break. Ugh... Hopefully it'll pass. I really don't like being teased by that craving demon.

I agree that what you said about getting the new puppy possibly triggering those thoughts/cravings. Now that you realize what's likely happening, you're probably safe from it bothering you much further. Just goes to show why we must always remain on guard against something weird like that cropping up long after we quit. I have heard of people who've lost their quits after 10 years or more. Likely something similar happened and they were seduced into thinking they could have just one? NOPE!

Hi @farmgirl, that puppy could absolutely be doing it and I'm sure the craves will pass as long as you don't cave to them. Triggers cause our cravings as you know and if this is a new trigger, which it sounds like it is, that's the cause. Well done posting about it. That may be all that's needed for it to pass ☺
