Sazerac

SueBeDo. I understand you perfectly too but, I don't like the way you are thinking about smoking. No good no good no good. Plenty of groovy things to think about, BeDo...go sip the dew from a Shamrock, go pick Sloe Berries for XMas Gin. That will put you right.

With a paint called P U R P L E P O U T, I ask you, how you gonna resist a name like that ?!! Beige and Cream cannot even lick the hem of P U R P L E P O U T.

-14 love you guys :wub:

-18 good morning

Hang in there, Sweets. You never have to go through this again ! Be Kind to yourself, you are doing so great !

Sammie, You are doing GREAT these first smoke free days. It is incredibly empowering choosing life over addiction, huh ! You have made one of the greatest decisions of your life. Drink freely from the Cup of N O P E and Free Your Head. Life is Good. If you need anything, let The Train know. Lots of answers and experience here and always a friendly word or kick in the pants if needed. S

-17 Hi Coleen. The riddle is revealed in the 'question game' today. :)

What a beautiful story ! What beautiful people. WOW.

-17 I have been wracking my little cranium all day trying to think of an application. It is so cool you do this sort of work ! Thanks for conversation.

Have y'all heard about Librivox.org ? https://librivox.org/ It is a free site in which books in the public domain are read by volunteers (some excellent, some meh). You can download, subscribe to podcasts, or listen by clicking Internet Archive Page and a little player pops up. (the Internet Archive Page is a very groovy place too) The library is extensive. The search bar is moody and wants things spelled correctly and worded precisely but, it is fun going through their virtual stacks, for sure. My favorites: 'A Lady's Life In The Rocky Mountains' by Isabella L, Bird https://librivox.org/a-ladys-life-in-the-rocky-mountains-by-isabella-l-bird/ and Mark Twain's 'Following The Equator' https://librivox.org/following-the-equator-by-mark-twain/ librivox.org did any of these links work ? my Luddite pathogens are rearing their ugly heads again. love, S

-17 Paul, I hope I didn't stump the ? game. I hope somebody gives an answer that will lead you somewhere. :)

In order of the severity of decorum lost 1) Smile broadly saying, 'I had a marvelous time' (use your regal voice) 2) Handwritten apology 3) Handwritten apology plus small gift 4) Leave the country I have done all four but, the first one works beautifully. How would you use Paul's Water Soluble Nylons ?

yep, Cream. but, I think two shades of cream a lighter one for the frame and a darker one for the doors/drawers ? Remember, paint is so forgiving...if you hate it, a paintbrush is always handy. Oh gawd, if you do it the Creamy way and you hate it, I will feel so responsible ! I'll just have to jump in the Mississippi.

Read Read Read and Read. Drink From The Beautiful Well of N O P E (not one puff ever) Believe in yourself. It aint as hard as it appears, for true. Congratulations !

From my bathtub with floating ice cubes, I just wanted to give my sympathies to all the women and to all your partners (bless their hearts). . Don't care how you quit smoking and it sure aint none of my biz how you live through Menopause, I hope you find comfort and support in any way you negotiate this. It SUCKs, bebe, No doubt about it. Be Cool. S

I empathize with the person that said, 'If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself' none-the-less, work with what cha got. At 59, things aren't just going South...they have MOVED away. Still hot flashing (since 2005 ?), only a few a night now and sleeping sometimes more than the 4 hour-at-a-stretch allotment I was originally given, pffft. but, not bleeding to death monthly since then. (There is a god, maybe). It got very squirrlely there before the 'change' (what a quaint phrase) and I would bleed the moment My Beloved arrived or threatened to come over . That went on for a year. Moody ? Can't tell because I live alone and can't bite imaginary friend's head off. ​I did preventative maintenance and put my fire ax up in the attic. I am doing this Cold Turkey and white knuckled well, not so knuckled anymore it has been such a damn long ride by now I am used to it. Still pretty juicy down there when needed. But, there is always Astro-Glide or whatever that stuff is called now. Do you know that when you stop HRT you get back all the symptoms that you missed ? Also dangers of stroke...etc. Be careful ! In my SOS kit, I have a beautiful ceiling fan over my bed, a Vetivert Hand Fan, plenty of Ice packs in the freezer. Unfortunately, Alcohol makes things worse and caffeine but, I don't care, I will suffer a heatwave gladly if I can still have Wine-spodie-odie and gallons of cafe. There may be more information I could help with, especially if you are cold turkey/white knuckling it. Aine is right about The Smooth Faced People and Tea. Herbal tea=comfort. There are specific herbs to be found googling around and I did some blue cohosh and raspberry leaf for early gruesome days (don't use Cohosh if you are pregnant or wanna be) but, just a normal cuppa did fine in chilling me out. The Placebo Effect is my drug of choice. (Just found this section of the Train and don't know if I will remember how I got here)

I have casually referred to Interior Design as Inferior Desecration.

I would first take off the groovy hardware (hinges and latches) and soak in a solution to remove the black or simply spray hardware gold or ?, something not black. Then I would Cream it all, maybe different Creams on the base, another on drawers ? Use a Glossy gloss on the top, makes it easier to clean. Throw some Cream on your mirror frame ? I dunno, this reply is sounding like a sex manual all of a sudden, Marti. :P Digging the Aubergine (that's Eggplant to Colonists) Have fun. S
