Thanks All! I was focused on Hurricane Helene (faired OK thankfully) and my anniversary came & went. Pretty nice not worrying about running out of cigs during a natural disaster. Plenty of other things to worry about! Being a quitter never gets old. I enjoy it and enjoy paying it forward as others did for me! Yep to NOPE!

NOPE

NOPE!

NOPE

NOPE!

Nope.. not this guy

NOPE!!

NOPE!

Still very cloudy down here with on and off drizzle from time to time. We haven't seen the sun in several days and it's very depressing. The temps are low, only in the upper 60's but the humidity is high so that AC is still running. I am hoping by next week the humidity will drop and I can open up the windows and let the fresh air in, as fresh as it can be in NYC...LOL!!

HOT!!!! Projected 115 degrees on Sat sept 29th. I have lived in the desert since 1978(Las Vegas,Laughlin,and Phoenix) but this is extremely late for this. No climate change though, If you believe that I have a bridge for sale. I envy those who have a fall season.

NOPE

@Lust4Life2016

Congratulations on 8 years smoke free @Lust4Life2016 I'm really happy for you. Great job!

Congratulations @Lust4Life 8 years is amazing!!! All the best to you!

Great Job L4L!! Those years just keep adding up

Congratulations my fellow Butt Kicker @Lust4Life2016 on eight years quit! That's fantastic and what's also just as great is you sticking around paying it forward and supporting everyone, so thank you for that

Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do ... another Sheryl Crow Classic. This song was popular in the summer of 1995. I was busy running for public office trying to get elected to the Public School Board in my city. I'd work all day and then spend each evening doing a door to door canvas speaking to voters. And this song became my ear worm.... all i want to do, is have some fun!! lol

You can see how much it spread out once it started moving over land. 11:00 AM Friday is was just grazingwhere you are. This is a rain map. The blue is light rain, green/yellow moderate, red heavy rain, purple - get a boat, White - put on the life jacket! Not surprising there was so much Toranado threat.

NOPE!

Congratulations on your 8 year quit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE!

Was a perfect fall day yesterday with lots of sunshine & just a nice warm day without being too hot. Same for a good oart of the day today but then the clouds move in as the very outer edges of Helene start moving into the area.

@johnny5... I have a friend that lives in Alabama. I hope and pray that Helene blows over and does not cause too much havoc and distruction. Be safe. Gene

Great job keep going.

Congrats on 8 years of sweet freedom @Lust4Life2016!

I rode a motorcycle once. When I was in my 20s I worked with a guy who owned one. We worked down in the Wall St. section of Manhattan and he used to drive one to work. One day on our lunch hour he took me for a ride. I think I only went on it because I knew that he couldn't ride faster than 1 mph on the narrow streets of lower Manhattan.....LOL!!

That's a couple of hour's drive north of here in what;s referred to here as "cottage country". When I used to ride motorcycles, a bunch of us would go for a ride up in that region even fall whenever we got a really bice, warm day. So beautiful and on a bike, you seem even more connected to the surroundings.

For @Lust4Life2016 's 8 year smoke free anniversary. (Apologies for all the smoking in this video)

On the very edge of the future path of Hurricane Helene....actally, Raleigh isn't even in the cone path. But there are already tornado warnings out about half an hour from my house. Helene looks like a beast. I hope the folks in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and western North Carolina get through this as ok as posssible.

Keep up the great work @Genecanuck

I coughed a lot, especially during my later years of smokinng (I smoked for roughly 20 years, less than a lot of people here have, not sure if that makes a difference). Once I quit, my coughing dropped down dramatically for several weeks and then got a lot worse for a while. I do believe it has to do with your body clearing out all of the garbage in your lungs from smoking and the timing of this varies from quitter to quitter. This often happens through coughing up. This is fairly normal. Things do get better over time.

Congratulations on such an awesome quit. You and all the others with long quits are an inspiration to restore us.

Huge Congratulations @Lust4Life Eight years is Amazing … Hope you treat yourself to something special …. Great Job

@tocevoD .. check in with us and let us know how you are doing.

…practicing their judo moves. A troupe of killer mice would come in handy…

Yeah it's really bad down there....so much flooding. I think when the storms enter into the Gulf, they are worse than when in the Atlantic because the Gulf is warmer than the Atlantic.
