El Bandito

I just chimed in on that thread. I'm pretty laid back (so laid back I'm supine most of the time - kind of like a Sloth) - but the bit that I have left in the quote above is not in rules or guidelines. But Harper has included it in the PM as if it is. Now quite apart from the fact that is nonsense anyway - that is sneaky and not fair. I have absolutely no axe to grind - I am grateful to QSMB - as it enabled me to meet you all. I understand the difficulties for the mods trying to cope with the outbreaks that occurred - but this looks very much like the mods are trying to bully a member. Now - I'm no drama queen - but really? So - SoberJulie - let's see if the admins want to take me on too...

Bear hug for Upside down Soozie too.... Hey Action - you're not getting all the hugging action!

No Ma'am. Im just over here making tea. Very quietly. Very very quietly. Honest.

Action - this new Pic is working for you...hugs all round! So - big bear hug for Evelyn - tough day grieving JaJaSue and bairns Trish the insomniac and Ross Handsome Beast exhausted from hugging

Morning! I think you may have copied the wrong one in... I have gone ticker-free since they put the ad in...very liberating. Great to see you here

Sounds like you need a mid afternoon activity...its all this extra time that we get gifted as non smokers... So - some ideas: 1. Music? Learn an instrument? 2. Painting - a home painting course? 3. Interior design - as above but on the walls! 4. Sewing / crafts? 5. Cordon Bleu cookery? Hubbie will like... 6. Pole dancing ;) (Tell hubby he owes me big time if you go for this one!) 7. Blogging? I think you turn mid-afternoon slump into mid afternoon new hobby time... Now - GO TO SLEEP :D

Absolutely Upsdidedown Pip.. Shall I be Mother? One lump or two? How do you feel about a crumpet?

Please tell me not together......

Sorry to hear that...tried the whole exercise / fresh air thing?

Impressive moustache too! I am sorry for your loss LB and for your grief. If Death has taught me anything it is the value of life. Have fireworks every day LB.

Good Grief Jengels! Do you have no television man? Extremely beautiful family. Congratulations. You are going to need a BIG car....

Am I the only one slowly tiptoeing backwards away from the screen? very very scary ladies here just very very quietly move back away ​shhhhh....don't wake the cranky ones...

Yeah ^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have absolutely no idea what most of that means - but it sounds pretty good to me.

Great stuff. Enjoy the time. :)

This is one where I really can offer no help... I have the opposite problem... I can sleep for Britain, the US, Australia.....anytime, anyplace. Trish - maybe do the other leg now?

And its not upside down! :o

Juan! You are not the first person to miss a tackle on Richie. When you miss a tackle, you don't then walk off the pitch. You get up and get back in the game. Heads up. Life gets on your nerves. This will happen whether you smoke or not. Your addiction will tell you anything to get you to smoke. It will try to sidestep you saying "smoke it will relax you". It will try to sidestep you saying "smoke it will help you think". These sidesteps are lies. If I tried to sidestep you, you would watch to see which way I was going to go and BOOM hit me anyway. This is how you beat the junkie lie sidesteps that your addiction will try.

Me five! goodnight US folks...Morning all Brits!

Wow. sounds like a great holiday. Have a fantastic time. I find flying so much easier not having to power smoke at the door to the airport!

Congratulations! One year is brilliant. Well done.

Evelyn, sorry to hear you had to break for the border. What is it they say about HALT...hungry, angry, lonely or tired? I don't understand NRT too well, but if that is what working, perhaps that is the way to fight it?

Holy Highwayman Batman I have said it before, and I'll say it again...I'm on the Message Board of Handsome Beasts and Beautiful Women! Scott, fantastic job. You look happier, healthier, (lighter) and younger! Clearly lithe and fit is the new cuddly...I need to have a strong think about this.....well after I have had a lie down... :D Great work.

Hey Rachael, great to see you here.

Christa! Why the long face? Boom boom tish.... I'll get my coat.....
