Bless your heart daren1....I know how hard it is to quit....I've been at it for 40+ years.....quit once succesfully using the "patch"....then my Mom passed and one thing after another happened to create even further stress so have now cut down......but can't quite shake it! I keep saying to myself that this too shall pass but damned if one thing does finally pass then another stressor happens....such is life!....I'm pulling for you my friend.....you can do it if you put your mind to it and stay away from other smokers first and foremost!

No snow in Chicago.....as a matter of fact now that the rain is over and the sun is out, It's actually rather pleasant for a change....mid 50's...nice weather....too bad it's gonna' give way to a miserable winter as most seem to be the last few years or else I'm just getting old and cantankerous (sp?)...(:

Man is the most dangerous (next of course is woman!....tee hee....now don't get testy ladies....I'm a woman myself!).(:

Just a thought......but did you perhaps use an alcohol based mouthwash or something of the sort? That would more than likely "register".....good luck!

Try to check in daily, health matters and other obligations permitting!

I thought it was doozy! Like in: "Boy, your question was a real doozy!" but I could be wrong, after all I'm getting on in years and my memory fails me at times! lol....(:

Hardly any in my neighborhood here in Chicago......these streets are not real trick or treater/kid friendly unless their parents accompany them! But I sure do miss seeing the kids all dressed up and excited!

Sure did! I grew up with Dick Clark and American Bandstand....those were the days!...(:

Nope, this  62 year old does not keep up with fashion...I'm more of an aged hippie/Earth Mother  fashionista! I don't see the point at my age.....I wear what is comfortable, clean and relatively appropriate for whatever occasion it may be. I don't see how anybody can AFFORD to keep up with all the fashion changes these days!  (:

Why does not this person comment back to any of our very succinct answers? Just looking for sympathy or attention....well then you have gotten it....do not take us lightly as we shall remember someone who is a fly by night!
