Hey Gig,
sorry to hear about the phone and bill difficulties. I *hate* it when I've ended up with something shut off or disconnected. Happens to the best of us...if we live long enough!
Congrats about staying off of the ciggies.
Once upon a time I was a 3 pack a day-er myself. Quit cold turkey. Started up again 8 years later and smoked for about 8 months before I quit again. Cold turkey. It's the only way for me.
I still really want to smoke sometimes, I don't think that ever leaves you, but somebody told me that when I want to smoke, the craving will leave in about 10 minutes with or with out a cigarrette.
It's true, but sometimes the craving comes back about 3 minutes after that! LOL.
No, really, it does get better and the cravings do subside.
Best of luck to you.
mystic

{{{{{{ Jox, Q, Eirene, Chris, Amber, Mystic }}}}}} Thank you all for your wishes. I wish I could make this a longer reply, but I just stopped in to use my stepdad's computer to make a quick update on a website. After this reply, I'll be signing off to go look at my car and see what the big thump was while I was leaving work. My stepdad thinks it sounds like a brake pad might have come loose or something. It's always something, isn't it? I still don't know when I'll get my phone hooked back up, but the good news is that I'm still not smoking, so hopefully it'll be sometime this lifetime. You all are very wonderful, and I hope I get to come back to you all very soon. If not, I hope you can all forgive me if this wintery scene stays up a few more weeks. Oh, and Mystic, 3 packs? When did you ever find time to breathe oxygen? I'm just glad you quit, because it really must have taken a toll on your health. As for me, my lungs are working on getting rid of 17 years worth of tar and all that other good stuff. Ick. But I know it'll get better. Hugs to all of you!

Eirene, if I have to go through another year like last one, I don't know what I'd do! Thanks, Jessi. Hey, at least it's mostly just a wintry scene and not TOO Christmassy. Lizzbitt Jox I never did tell you how things went with my family that I hadn't seen in years. We all had breakfast at a restaurant and everyone gave our poor waitress a hard time. Actually, she joked along with my family, like she usually does when it's just my dad and step-mom. Breakfast was spent with two aunts, one of my twin cousins and her two boys, and 3 of my twin cousin's sisters. The little boys, age 3 and 4, introduced themselves as Sonic and Tales (or is that Tails?). They were sooo cute, but they made a little too much noise with their silverware while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Christmas Eve, I saw a few others that weren't at the breakfast. A female cousin whom I hadn't seen since she was probably eight, and her younger brother that I don't believe I had ever met before. She is now all grown up, and he was apparently in a Bowflex commercial a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, a few of my cousins that I did grow up with but who moved when we were teenagers, came and went before I had a chance to see them. Oh well, it was nice seeing who I did. I'd better get going now. Got email to check, then a few errands to run. Until next time!

Hey Gigs Sounds like you had quite a full plate over the holidays...sad that we see some family members only when someone dies thruout our whole lifetime.... I'm sending you lots of well wishes & warm hugs for the coming year....hopefully this time next Jan. you can say it was a better one. Mom always says, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". I guess there's a lot of truth to that.... Anyway, still missing you & hoping you'll be back soon! ....ordered especially for you!

I miss you all too, Eirene. Q ~ I fully believe in that saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and some people might be surprised at the kind of stuff I can tolerate because of it. Thanks for the to brighten my day. Until next time!
