Chocolate yes, but the diversions to arse not so much... I want to eat some chocolate but now all I can think about is swamp arse.... why is my imagination so devious?

Should we talk about lemonade instead?

Do you think milk chocolate would work on the pallet the same as dark chocolate with corn? Shouldn't the chocolate have a more robust flavour to enhance the corn not be swamped?

No He's not... if he gets a new name he can't be slippidy doodah can he? (Oh and Kylie is so not one of my national treasures and as for danni, don't get me started (Jillar she (Danni) was married to Julian McMahon (Belthezar in Charmed) and his daddy was one of our worst Prime Ministers ever)

When I was little when I grew up I wanted my mum to like me.

SWITCHEROO... SWITCHEROO.... time to change .... going a bit left of center today... and playing the "When I Grow Up..." game.. so this can either be a when I grow up I will, want to, etc and it can be a walk down memory lane for something you used to wish/aim/hope for or it could be something you want in your future..... SO we have H When I grow up I wanted to have short hair (cos I wasn't allowed to cut it). (now I have short hair out of necessity, can't raise one arm above my shoulder so its to hard to do long hair and I wish it was still long, shoulder length is as long as I can go)

Well that's a horse of a different colour... accuracy in these matters is very important. Without checking I'd have about a 50/50 of hitting it. I think cos I was still in school for all that nastiness and doing International Studies (an alternative to Catholic RE studies where you study human rights, all religions and social service charities(red cross, medicans san frontier, etc) at the time I had to kind of know, roughly.

Oh I do the farmers walk every time i grocery shop... from the supermarket to the car from the car to the house.... yay me.

Greetings NOPErs ... hope you are all having nice safe Thursdays. So while there is nothing on the UN or Aussie calendars of days the US have a few specials listed. Today is Simplicity Day and while I'd like to be all Zen and do a simple nope the superstitions wont let me. So I have opted to give my nod to Etch-A-Sketch Day. I loved my brothers etch-a-sketch when we were kids. I could spend hours doing drawings on it and be almost finished and the little bugger would shake them away and then we'd fight.. hmmm maybe I didn't love the Etch-A-Sketch but at least it gave the grown ups around me a break. So on Etch-A-Sketch day I say: Topic of the Day: When I grow up...

But the Balkan war.... Kosovo, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia the former Yugoslavia, The Siege of Sarajevo???.... it was all very sad?

So see that ^^ that is a huge motivator... decades ago a friend of mine who was quitting had t-shirts made for his little kids to wear when he had access visits that said "My dad doesn't smoke cos he loves me" because when he first quit. He said just seeing them in their little shirts while he pushed them on swings or what not made him not want to even smoke while he was with them. He kept a photo of them in their shirts in his wallet for those times they weren't together. (see that long ago no mobiles to have pics on). As a motivator what is better than you kids. Hey Toc...so.... 1. Thanks for sharing, its hard to do and awesome proud that you shared because maybe not today or tomorrow but sometime soon someone is going to read this and it is going to help their quit... and it will help you with your re-start too, because you can come in here and read this at any time. Basically what I'm saying is be kind to yourself because you can do this, you know that, you slipped, you stumbled in your quit dust it off, it can't be undone, what can be done is you can leave that quit in your wake, brush yourself off and make this the sticky, forever quit because lessons were learnt. 2. Your not alone, there are many of us who have failed quits under our belt. What is fantastic is that you haven't wasted years (over a decade for me) to get back on the horse and try again. The lessons from your last quit are still fresh and clear, the good lessons and the bad. 3. Your a list man, who doesn't love a list.... so time to write some lists my friends... reasons to quit, ..... what worked last time and how awesome you felt every time an anniversary rolled around, or you beat back a crave, or you hung with your boy and he had all your time and attention and none of your anxiety. How great was that? .... Last list, what lead to you smoking and how it could be avoided or what you could have done to prevent yourself caving to the pressure (and with the family gathering I get the pressure) and on that list... how you really felt when you did cave. 4. NOPE, every day.... take it one day at a time. 5. Remember we have your back. There is always at least one person here who has been where you are now, and knows how you are feeling... don't be scared to shout out and say this is hard I need a hand... don't be worried about pming someone and saying hey this is happening I know you went through this got any suggestions cos I don't want to put this out there just yet. You wont be the only one who sets up a pm buddy system. 6. Remember, regardless of the chaos of life and whatever crazy is happening around you the one thing you have 100% control over is if you pop a smoke in your mouth, light it and drag. ONLY YOU control that and it is an awesome power. So onwards and upwards my friend, lets get this thing happening again and free you from the nicobitch.

Did you not "the NEWS" during the early and mid 1990's? I promise I didn't even barrack for them.

Who said Aussies aren't articulate....

One can but live in hope can't they?
