Mike.

I think she was Harrison's wife.The song, was about Layla, after Clapton, had tried to offer her "consolation", and fell in love with her, too! WTH! I couldn't resist posting the original version again. NOPE! I like this later "live" version better!

I had some extra time after my work-out at the track and gym today, before my Brain-Zaps. I decided I would have a bowl of "friendly lady's restaurant" home made soup, in the basement of doc's building, in the high-rent section of town. I parked my car on the street that I always park on, that has 2 hours of parking allowed. Took out 4 dollars of change, fed the meter for the two hours. All that registered on the clock was 90 minutes. Thinking that I must have fed the change too quickly, I gave it another dollar's worth of change. It remained at 90 minutes. I was angry then, and smacked the meter. I had a closer look at the meter then. The meter on the pole for the person parked behind me, said in small letters, "2 hours maximum" but mine stated "90 minutes maximum". I looked up at the sign on the street by the front of my car, Yep, it said 2 hour parking. I looked at the curb, to see if there was anything special painted on it where I had parked, but it was just bare concrete. I smacked the meter a second time when I realized, I was again the victim, of yet another "dummy"! (two meters on a pole with one for 2 hours, and mine for 90 minutes). I had my soup, fed the meter some more, and went up for the "Zaps". I was sitting strapped in the reclining like-dental chair, when doc walked in and said from outside my vantage point: "What happened here? He tapped my right hand. I brought it to where I could see it, and saw that I now have 3 big bruises on the back of hand and knuckles, (I bruise easily, now). I said, "Dummies Doc ... Dummies. They're Everywhere!". Doc said, "Are you fighting with them?" I relayed an abridged story to him. He never said anything else. So, not being able to see him, to see what his expression might be that could tell me what he was thinking, I tried for humor and said, "You know doc. "I've", never made a mistake in my whole life!" I heard doc chuckle as he patted me on the shoulder. As doc walked out of the office, he said, "We'll see you next week, Mike". I don't know if that is going to impact my evaluation on Monday, negatively or positively. I guess I will find out. Dummies ...

And here they are together.

I was driving home along the highway from Vancouver, and stopped to get gas. I went into the restroom, and sat down on the toilet in a stall. In a bit I hear from the next stall, "How ya doing?". I thought, "friendly guy", so I answered, "I'm alright, how are you?". He answered, "Good! What are up to?". I said, "Well, I just relieved myself". He said, "Great! Do you need a hand?". I wondered a bit about that but, just said, "No, I'm alright". He said, "Listen, I'll have to call you back. Some dummy in the restroom here, is answering all my questions". ...

Oops. I should read the thread first.

Damn! I didn't Prince was that good! Is that Harrison's kid? Sure looks like him. Nice to see Clapton again too! Hey Marcus .. Did you know that "Layla" was George Harrison's wife? Well, I guess of course "you" did .. duh ... and, you know what's coming next ...

Thanks, for joining us! Learn your way around, do some reading and posting. None of us are experts at this, except like you, we were "expert smokers". lol!! We are stronger in our "quits" with each other here. See you around ...

Thanks, DD. "Mar 15/15" How does this work? Is it once a quit is on its way, (I stuttered at first), you set it, then its done from then on? m/ Edit: Forget it DD. I looked ahead in the calendar and I see names, from the past, that I don't see around much, so it must mean, that once it is set, the calender kicks out some kind of list each month. Thanks

Nice thread. Just checking in, to say I'm hanging in here. Nothing new to report. Who's next?

Hi Doreen. I logged back in, just to speak to you. You haven't been far from my concious thoughts, this last day. There is so much I should/could/would like to say but, it's your thread so, I want to keep this brief. Your message is "huge to me". For others, I am guessing also. We all can look up and read and watch videos about emphysema resulting from smoking but, when I hear it from one of "our dear ones" here, it means so much more. Prayers offered, for the both of you. edit: "emphysema"

I will not smoke today. None!

I watched a movie tonight. A Bronx Tale. Chazz Palminteri played the Mafia Boss. A tough character. He was tough in real life too, as a young man. I know I would have been in it huge, with him. In the movie, is one of Bob Dylan Songs, played by Jimi Hendrix. A bump. Maybe some newer person, might enjoy it too:
