NOPE!

Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine!

-7 Morning Doreen.

As important as diet and exercise are, quitting smoking is the single best thing any smoker can do for themselves. You've already done that, so...good going. I have no aversion to the weirdness. It's the perpetual bickering that annoys me. Let the weird times roll.

NOPE!

Chicks or Sticks: The Home Version.

Everyone knows how discussions of politics and religion on the internet end up. A lot of dogmatic fervor and ad hominem attacks. And now we can add diet and nutrition to the list of topics that it is increasingly difficult to have a reasonable discussion about. There are many camps in the discussion: Paleo, Keto, IIFYM, Vegetarian, Vegan, those people that eat 50 bananas a-day...the list goes on. It's frustrating and fascinating at the same time. People have allowed the diet they follow to become a part of their identity. And now we have people who are furious at others due to the fact that they eat differently. This is what about 95% of the internet looks like to me...

NOPE!

Good call. Knowledge about cigarettes and nicotine addiction destroys the myths and lies of smoking. When you see smoking for what it is, an exercise in futility that gives nothing but takes everything, your resolve will become unwavering. You're well on the your way to continued success. Good job.

You can never have too much Kinks in your life... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voCM0eUyG2c

Say what you will about us, but we know what we like early on...

Good thinking Nancy. At T-minus 28 days to lido, it's not too early to start planning.

Welcome aboard Reciprocity. Congratulations on the quit and taking your life back. It sounds like you're right on schedule. Get those first couple of weeks behind you and the mental fog starts to clear. You are on your way. Get ready to reap the rewards of the process. That "disruption" that you feel is your mind and body adjusting to its newfound freedom. Embrace the process. Enjoy the ride.

NOPE!

Excellent choice Doreen. I think I may have mentioned a time or twelve that The Kinks are one of my favorite bands ever.

Been there, done that. I grew up on a farm and while we didn't use it, the family who's property adjoined ours used to spread chicken litter in the fields. On a hot day, when the wind was blowing out of the south...that smell would grab the olfactory receptors and work 'em silly. There's more positives than negatives concerning country living. However, I can't help but notice when people are romanticizing rural living they never mention the occasional smell of chicken shit and skunks. It's a package deal.

We're gonna need a bigger shelf!
