6.... nope more short stack from Indiana Jones.... "Dr. Jones, hold onto your potatos"

OK.... primal scream is doable... you just need to do it into a pillow or cushion, just make sure you don't smother yourself . It is so good you posted an SOS....shows you want to fight to protect this quit. You can do this and your reasons are the type that make for a sticky quit. Remember you have 100% control. Controlled breathing through the quit is great. Also something to distract yourself, in the first few weeks of my quit I had a memory game on my phone, you know those card match ones, it was timed to run for 5mins and because you had to focus on remembering where the card matches were the crave couldn't get purchase in your mind... now i use minesweeper if I need.... every time, by the time the games were up the crave had passed. It was part of a free quit smoking app. The quit apps are good, because they give you little sms rewards... you have been smoke free for 1 hour, you have been smoke free for 24 hours.... you have not smoked 50 smokes.... it really does help. OK... blood sugar... suck a barley sugar or some such as this helps also. But know you are in the worst of it now... it gets easier.... you just need to ride out the next few days. You can do this, you want to do this, you want to take back control of your life, you don't want some stupid addiction telling you what to do. .

6 ... was that thought accompanied with an evil mwahahaha.... Hey @G67 have you ever done hot laps? ... and did you bust a gut laughing at Sslip needing a cushion to reach the pedals (so in my mind I visualise blocks taped to the souls of your shoes to reach the pedals).

6 ... course i've driven the albert park course, well parts of it.... When the Sydney Swans were South Melbourne that's where their footy ground was, Lakeside Oval.... also where I played bsketball as a kid and where I saw my first ever game of baseball... have had hot laps at Calder Park, have driven part of the old Adelaide circuit and have done laps at Phillip Island (where the motoGP is).... I have V8 hotlaps at mount Panorama on the bucket list..

He should be somewhere tropical with the missus celebrating his move to a new house and his retirement... although when pigs usually retire they become ham or a roast so maybe we should worry.... NAH.... is honky dory and will be back after his holiday, and after he sorts out a new lap top / computer because for some strange reason his work wouldn't let him keep his lappy. Few more weeks @Naughtius Maximus few more weeks and then he will be back.

4 ... you do know I am super jealous right?, even though I want to say, I'm glad you deserved it, I kinda want to mumble something nasty under my breath ?

Good morning fellow NOPErs. I hope you all have a lovely smoke free day. Today, down under, we celebrate Meals On Wheels day. So to all the volunteers, and there are over 75,000 of you who cook the meals, and deliver them to our elderly we say thank you. The cost of 1 year of meals is the same as 1 day in hospital so even the gift of your time to give some old coots the independence to stay at home is a gift you are also giving to the rest of society too. For those who don't know the meals on wheels delivery ladies and gents don't just drop of a meal they do a welfare check and also give a daily social contact to elderly clients who are often housebound, isolated and alone. NOPE....cos grandma hated smoking, just sorry she missed a smoke free me. TOPIC OF THE DAY: toe tappers

4 .... cold... put the ducted heating on for the first time in a fortnight. how was race car driving?

4... gents

-4 G-ski..... this is Fluffy facing King Rat to move the rabbit hutches....

^^ yep. And yes its a good movie.

I hope he's not trying to bread with them Fluffy.... I think you have the King Rat... or maybe all the rain has turned him into a water rat... they are bigger than normal rats. Was this him: -2

Your fur babies look so well behaved and clean... every time I wash by baby he goes straight outside and rolls in something foul and stinky. Great to see you relaxing and getting away... a well deserved reward for all your smoke free efforts.

So I can forgive a boy from Shep singin a song for Rugby... just.... would have been so much better for the footy...

-15 ... all set for your racing car experience Sslip? no black pud??.... but yay to spinach & avocado??

Canadians saying aluminium because say say it skew-if too.

-1 ... morning lovely ladies.

Heard him rock that at the Espy... great Melbourne muso... Oh have to hunt out my Dave Graney & The Coral Snake CDs now... thanks for the memory jolt. So as Dave also said... "the word is nah" (but lets make it NOPE)... you are doing so well with this quit... you will have other days like that but each time one comes it is less powerful than the last until... no more days like that no more. "You Need To Suffer"... but soon you will be through that and you will be celebrating your freedom.
