    Have you ever called London in an attempt to reach Allen Carr when you were jonesing for a smoke?

  • i was nicknamed Babbles over a year ago by Bakon.  In a thread...we had a disagreement...actually i totally highjacked his thread and i was babbling on and on.....and that's what he called me.."babble

Who did you reach if you did, in fact, call London?

How do you feel about squats and planks? Which do you like better?

after being quit for months in 2004-I called up one of the numbers in the allen carr book out of desperation...I was at my icky 3's and didn't know about online support so  I called a number...not sure who I got but the lady said she couldn't help me.  I smoked 2 weeks later.  (of course...I chose to smoke-wasn't the lady's fault (bitch))

 

I've done shower squats (ask Jenny)  

either way squats just piss me off--in or out of the shower

 

I prefer planking...but that pisses me off too

 

haha

How long have you been a nurse? do you have your BSN? (got the right person this time I think lol B)

Squatting should always be done in the shower!! 

 

Have you ever had a one night stand?   Hmmmmm?   Have ya??

I am actually an LPN (since 2003)  as nursing license goes..always said I would go back to school but 3 kids happened...

 

.but I haven't been a nurse on the floor in 5 years.  I work as a PPS coordinator in a rehabilitation center.  I am currently enrolled in school and originally automatically assumed I should go for my RN..but think i'm changing my direction and prefer a career in nutrition/dietary.  I really don't want to be a nurse anymore

 

never had a one night stand

What is the name of your first love?

Nursing is SO much different in practice than it is when we are young and starry eyed and wanted to save the world, huh?

 

Have you ever eaten a whole bag of cookies and a tub of ice cream....in one sitting? 

Do you or did you ride horses?  

 

Did you live on a ranch?  

 

How long have you been married?

 

Do you have a cool birth mark?

Would you ever consider going skydiving or ziplining?

i saw the male review once at a local firehouse...i went to a male strip club for a bachelorette party in Philadelphia...I've been to a local strip dive to play pool cause it was convenient (20 years ago)

they did nothing for me...none of them

 

My first love was Peter in kindergarten.  We fought constantly!  Funny thing....he ended up marrying a woman who looks a lot like me...that we would always joke about it when we would see each other......we are now friends

True!  about the nursing

no.....but I've come close a couple of times!  I'm prone to emotional eating (all under control....I think..I hope.. :rolleyes:  :wacko:  :unsure:  :ph34r:

my mom and my sister are what I call the "horse people" and I've been around horses all my life......but I'm scared of them.  I like walking them and petting them...but I've fallen off a lot of horses in my time...and once was trampled on by 6 horses.  They know I"m afraid.

 

I live in a suburban neighborhood...nice little yard...a pool.  My husband always wanted to buy something in the country with lots of land but I wanted to raise my kids like I was raised...in a neighborhood

 

Been married for 28 years

 

I have birthmark on my right thigh that my husband always liked...I guess it's cool...lol

Isn't it true that the woman you reached was Allen Carr's Grandmother?  Isn't it true that you woke her up in the middle of the night and she snipped at you?  Isn't this the reason that you speak unkindly of this woman?

 

Have you ever used a chicken wing for smoking cessation?

yes...I googled smoking cessation tips and read where if you stick a chicken wing up your ass...it kills the cravings.  Found out the hard way not to use buffalo sauce.  ;)  But I had NO craving for a smoke the whole time...so it worked!!!!!

Isn't it true that you asked the woman in London if you could please speak to Mr. Carr and she told you that her grandson did not live there?  I have been cursed at in probably every language there is except for Latin.  I take that back.  My Dr. said something to me once that I didn't understand.
