I don't have a question, but I do have MMMBop stuck in my head now. Thanks for that Jen.

I think this is the first JibJab I've been in! I've got some pretty wicked dancing skills. Bakon doesn't need to teach me anymore.

I'm in Ottawa. "Tarannah." Lol.

I can probably make an appearance tonight and tomorrow as well. Need a distraction from studying.

I wish Two exams this weekend.

Tracey, you have played an instrumental part in making me feel at home here. You are a fantastic person and REZ summed it up pretty nicely! Have a lovely day with REZ! Big congrats and hugs for your 9 months!

Hey Chrys: My mom passed away last year at the age of 59. I was 26 at the time. I was around smokers 24/7 leading up to her funeral service, which wasn't a week until after her death because she died on Thanksgiving weekend (October here). I spent most of her funeral service outside with the smokers. I would love to say that my quit was so strong that I didn't even think about smoking, but that would be a lie. Distractions were key for me. Anything I did would keep my mind busy so I was obsessing less about cigarettes. I would go for a walk, bake, visit family, write, doodle, read, etc. What you're experiencing does go away with time. I forget that I was once a smoker now. For the time being though, use this forum to vent -- venting definitely helps! Read the success stories/celebration threads here. Write down the reasons why you quit and keep the list close by to reflect on them whenever you feel like your quit is wavering a bit. Really think about how a relapse would make you feel.

Happy Birthday Rez! Hope you and Tracey have a wonderful day. :)

Thanks Sue!

Whoa, that's a crazy big beet Jimmy!

Thanks :)

Very true Sue

So instead of doing homework, I am looking at old pictures and came across this one. We had only been dating for just over a year. I have no idea why he stuck around... I'm weird.

I discovered Marina & The Diamonds not too long ago. I really like her:

Thanks Doreen! :) It's late here and I'm supposed to be doing homework, but I keep getting distracted by TV and old pictures, lol.

I would rather go through withdrawal and deal with cravings than to ever smoke again. Once you get a taste of freedom, there's no point turning back. Your addiction enslaves you and the only way out is by quitting!

Sounds like a good plan to me! Enjoy golfing (as I'm sure you will). :) NOPE. :D

Thank you!

Two exams and one more assignment to go. Then school's out! Not for the summer, but from the 25th until September. 9. I'll take it. :) Just added up all my Employment Law marks and I'm currently sitting at a 86%. :D

Robin Williams. Such a hilarious guy! </3

Congrats on 7 months Comrade!

Way to go Joe! 9 months is a pretty fantastic quit. :D

"I am so stressed, I can't possibly quit now!" Pfft. All excuses. Smoking does nothing people... absolutely nothing. I was a stressball when I was a smoker and I still am! Smoking cannot be justified.

Ouch! Glad you and the bike are okay. Nice of the young men to help!
