AS3 withdrawals next week…

Question:

Oh no, I forgot! LOL!! Too true. Gwen – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – <laughing along with Gwen What was it we were talking about again? MaryO

Response:

<laughing along with Gwen What was it we were talking about again? MaryO – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Mary, ROFL!! This is priceless and so true. I can totally relate. I one time I would just pick up and go, enjoy no matter what was forgotten or missing. All of that seems to have flown out the window after kids. My kids are basically grown now, but I still have to have lists or at least plan way ahead of time. I wonder if it is just old age though? Gwen I think I lost some of my spontanaeity when I gave birth! You should see me with all my packing lists and menu lists. Which reminds me. Gotta go fold a load o’laundry or no one will have underwear. I will not sleep in a tent with stinky people, even if they are my family! MaryO

Response:

MaryO wrote something that I snipped, Mary, That was so good to read. I’m the same if people come round – run around like mad – cleaning everything! It seems like you’ve got the "I don’t smoke anymore smile" on your face – and are like – "Fine, you invited yourselves – I ain’t cleaning the toothpaste off the mirror". Good for you! Apart from those people who have been cleaning as a don’t smoke thing (good for you – if it works – it works!) – haven’t we all got *something* like that? LOL! You’ve got a really positive attitude – and good for you. Have a fantastic holiday – and we look forward to you coming back on 16th. Peter

Response:

… I should be busy enough not to even worry about it, although this has become my lifeline! Even if not posting, I’m definitely reading. Next week is our family vacation/holiday. We’ll be camping by, and swimming in Lake Michigan, and nowhere near a computer.

Have a great trip, Mary. I used to camp a lot also, including several Lake Michigan spots like Door County and Point Beach. And we used to smoke up a storm while strumming our guitars around the campfire every night (the purpose of the music was to try and woo in any stray women – it actually worked sometimes). I know what you mean when you mention "pleasant smoking memories". So DON’T go getting all nostalgic for a smoke on your trip. Believe you can have just as much fun without them. Keep busy. Rob 1m1d

Response:

Thanks all!! As predicted, I am posting today (not leaving till tomorrow a.m.). The Minneapolis people called and cancelled! Woo Hoo! They are quite good friends except for this inviting themselves problem– They actually were camping over the previous weekend way way up north. They invited us (like, two nights before they left) to join them. We declined, explaining that we’re planning to go camping this coming week. Well, of course, the woman (one of my close friends) gets all personally slighted, like we obviously don’t want to see them because we’re not dropping everything and driving 350 miles because they asked. So ANYWAY, they’re driving down here for THIS weekend (when we won’t be here) to see her sister, and thought they’d just drop in for a night on their way down….yada yada.

Response:

I keep reminding myself that I visited the area we’re going to as a child, and did NOT smoke then. I also camped with my family as a child and did NOT smoke then. I also have my never-smoking husband and daughter with me, so I should be in safe hands. I did a LOT of camping

These are excellent things to keep in mind, Mary. I’ve found that kind of thinking to be particularly helpful. Actually, I just realized I should be hitting my first M during the trip. Wow!! That’ll be cause for celebration.

Excellent! deep breathing ALWAYS does the trick.). The guests can, in turn, get over the mirror with toothpaste drips in the bathroom… as if they’d ever care. But this time I didn’t do the spotless routine for them.

Great attitude. You know, I think *we’re* going to be in withdrawal, missing you. Have a great holiday. :) mmm 8M+ — The attachment HonourSystem.txt contains the following message: "This virus works on the honour system.

ROFL! Good for you! And hey – isn’t it nice to have clother that don’t smell of smoke! <grin I don’t have any children – but I almost can’t get out of bed without a list! LOL!

then congratulations in advance, ma’am, and i know you’ll do great! have a fantastic vacation! :-) iwisse grouchy newbie One week, five days, 21 hours, 37 minutes and 42 seconds. 258 cigarettes not smoked, saving $36.12. Life saved: 21 hours, 30 minutes.

Response:

Have the best holiday Mary, and the rest of June Buggers will be waiting with baited breath to party with you when you return. Ann Two weeks, four days, 14 hours, 43 minutes and 27 seconds. 930 cigarettes not smoked, saving $209.40. Life saved: 3 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes. (I follow in your footsteps, Mary…lead on)

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – … I should be busy enough not to even worry about it, although this has become my lifeline! Even if not posting, I’m definitely reading. Next week is our family vacation/holiday. We’ll be camping by, and swimming in Lake Michigan, and nowhere near a computer.

I also have my never-smoking husband and daughter with me, so I should be in safe hands. I did a LOT of camping in college, however. Those are some of the pleasant camping-smoking memories… but I’ll just have to get over myself if the nicodemon tries that angle, won’t I?! Actually, I just realized I should be hitting my first M during the trip. Wow!! That’ll be cause for celebration. I’ll report back next Sunday (16th). Tomorrow I prob’ly will too, though some friends from Minneapolis invited themselves for tonight, so I might sleep in. I was thinking of ranting about that one… they KNOW we’re trying to get ready for a camping trip, but still want to sleep on the floor, etc. etc. etc. but I seem to have adopted a calm nature for this quit. Just take it all as it comes, enjoy what’s good, get over the cravings (they are far less frequent now, and while some are powerful, deep breathing ALWAYS does the trick.). The guests can, in turn, get over the mirror with toothpaste drips in the bathroom… as if they’d ever care. But this time I didn’t do the spotless routine for them. Oooh, I guess that was a mini-rant after all, wasn’t it. Well, thanks for listening, and I’ll see you tomorrow and/or next Sunday. Good luck to all!! No caving to the craving while I’m gone! MaryO 3 weeks, 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes, during which I did NOT smoke 661 cig-butts, tallying up a savings of $110.72. Not enough to rent a big lake fishing boat excursion, but we’ll be happy with a trout or two.
