JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #20 8/27/10 -

[cookie]

Took Furby to the vet to have her bloodwork checked for her meds and to have her routinne shots and tags done. The vet does not want me to smoke around her so no smoking in the house or vehicles. I have smoked for 50 years and currently smoke 3 pks a day. Guess I have to stop cold turkey. The last time I quit I lost so much weight that I started back up again. Anyone have suggestions for me. HELP !!

good that you are quitting..not just for Furby's sake but for your own..also, cigarettes are sooooo expensive ! save that money in a jar and take a vacation after a year!  usually people who quit smoking gain weight! there are some devices that I have seen advertised, like fake cigarettes, that sortof thing..also, maybe some nicotine patches or what ever they are..Good luck! my hubs quit cold turkey but he wanted to...otherwise, I don't think that it is easy if you really don't want to quit...

trimm...Sidekick will love his new man cave...take care of that back of yours though..don't do too much.

Rosie..glad that your humidifier is working well for you! will find out hubs results of his mri on his sinuses next Monday...schedule conflicts with him and the doctor's office..they can't give you the results over the darn phone cause of the hippa laws so the soonest they can get together is in a week! this hippa stuff is for the birds...anyone standing or sitting in a doctor's office is being violated on the hippa rules just by telling the receptionist what your ailment is! everyone hears what ever you are saying anyways!

what is everyone having for dinner tonight? I have some frozen things that I am going to pull out...fresh sliced tomatoes will go with what ever I decide to fix...hot rolls...yummy!

Hi cookie.

I saw you asked for a whole new avatar. Can you find an image you'd like me to use? I am running out of suggestions with all the new monkeys lately!

Find some image you like and I'll work on it for Halloween and Christmas.

I figure that I exercise all day, constantly going up and down stairs, working in the yard, decorating and moving things around, cleaning the garage, so why do other exercise? And if it is hot out, it is very difficult to exercise at least for me it is.

I know you get your exercise.   

Just spent a couple hours in the yard, and more to do    You take it very slow with your back, be careful please  Sidekick will love it when it is all done

That's a shame, I always listen to hear what people are complaining about at the doctor's office  I'm nosy. Don't know about supper, have been too busy.

Oh wow!

I quit back in the 80's and not smoking around my son and dog was most of my inspiration.

But alas, I only quit for 4 months.

I wish I had suggestions for you.

It can't be good for our pets to breathe our second-hand smoke. And that is just what Brandi does also.

Good to see you, btw, 4 Donks. Have missed you this past weekend.

I don't know, I'm not allowed to smoke in the house, and don't want too anyway. Good luck  it is a very hard thing to do.

[no rose colored glasses]

That is wonderful news Northern

Spent the weekend teaching my sister how to maintain the tractor.
Furbs has a very enlarged heart with diminished lung capacity. I'd do anything for her but I'm afraid of the weight loss. My doctors are always trying to get me to gain weight as it is  They say I have no reserves if something else happens. I tell them I'm too mean to go through another bout of anything.

Northern..good news about all of your kids being with you...glad that they are all safe and sound! feed them some good food!

do you have a good apple pie recipe in your recipe books? I have some apples from the apple orchard and in the mood to make a home made pie...I have the pie crust down pat, just wondering about the apples with sugar or not with sugar..thanks...xxx

4 Donks...otherwise, can you only smoke outside and not around Furby?

Yes I can smoke outside but right now the temp is 100 dgrees. It would be a quick ciggie.

I think I'll go hang out with the donks for awhile..see you guys later.....

That's what I think, you are actually lucky you lose when you stop smoking, never heard of that before. But since you can't lose anymore weight I don't know what to say.

That will put a damper on enjoying a cigarette

best of luck to you Donks on what ever you decide to do about the smoking..I have heard from others that it is very difficult to quit..especially if you really enjoy it like some of my friends do...
you can vent here with us if times get tough, no matter what you do about it..we are here for ya! xxxxx

I have done that, but there have been many times if the weather would be bad I will just not smoke. And I would never smoke inside the house, I don't want my walls and furniture full of nicotine, bad enough my body is. That is the last vice I have to give up and the hardest if you ask me. Need to go back in the yard, but can't seem to get moving  my left arm was itching and I looked and I have hives from something. But no way will I take a hive pill, then will never get back up.

hello all

  Hi Scarey, where have you been?

i have no good excuse for my absence.... work ppl r monitoring our comps, and 1 girl got fired but its been awhile, and i have been busy, and what not, still no excuse 

how are you?

I am glad they don't monitor ours or we would all be fired LOL (doctors included) 

I'm fine, trying to fit into a wedding dress that Mr Hung told me I was "too thick for" 

Youre getting married!?!?!? CONGRATS!!

And wth is mr. hung...is he that lil guy who was on american idol, singing she bangs??

i havent even started to look for dresses, except online, as i AM GIONG TO LOSE WEIGHT! still convincing myself i will... so if i buy a "big"  (for me...12 is not a bad size, just very drastic gaining 50 lbs in 3 yrs) girl dress now and get skinny wth am i gonna do then?!?!!

Thanks Scarey. Mr Hung is the tailor I took my dress to, he is very blunt and honest whether or not he can fix things. He said "I try, no promise, you thick" and pointed to my bewbs. Don't get a dress just yet. Wait until closer to the date.

well congrats again, and mr hung i am sure is used to the women in his culture who are naturally thin! i will wait a bit before trying dresses on, although... i have been going to the gym weekdays at 5 before work... feel like its not working, suppose i just expect results a lil to quickly!

Thanks and never thought about Mr Hung's culture. I do know he is very inexpensive. I have lost about 24/25 pounds, but I am not working out. I refuse to work out. Exercise kills. 

i agree, on the exercise thing, but i have actually been enjoying it! and i am THE WORST morning person alive, but i force my self to get up and go, helps alot that fiance, mom and occasionally lil sis go to, we all meet there and i do not run! i do a bike for a lil bit then some weights.. a crunchie machine thats very easy, and 2 arm machines for my inner arm flab, and an inner thigh flab-buster machine, mom and fiance wind down with a lil basketball and thats about all.

oh and my peanut will not eat if we are not with her...

  WOW, you must get up extra early. I am lucky if I get up in time to take a shower, get dressed, let Josef get his business done and throw him in the car.

Joe won't eat without me hand feeding him 

see thats the thing, i live about 10 mins, less if need be, to my work, and usually am up and dressed and no make up not time getting ready and to work within about 15...i would get up about 645 be at work at 7...

but since ive been working out, i get up about 445 and grab coffee and gym bag out the door i am, fiance goes at same time we drop his truck off at work, car pool to gym, work out, then mom and i shower and get ready, actually doing hair and make up, and drop fiancee off at work and head to work my self arriving about 650.....

  4:45 am????? There is only one reason I would get up that early and that is if I have an early flight to catch. Good for you Scarey for all of you going to the gym.

[Missiontoconvict]

Good night monkeys see you later - I see I fell behind in here I will catch up later

You just plumb over do it, too much exercise and work you do No Rose.

Son is getting out of hospital today   

Australia Son is picking him up as my daughter is home sick from school so I am staying here with her

I have been busy making his comfort foods and playing magical bedroom lottery now that I have all 4 kids here again and one is sick and can not be near son who is coming home.   

No Rose, sorry your daughter is sick, glad your son is coming home today. Prayers for all of you.

Now, when I first saw that picture, I thought it was worms, then realized it was noodles.
