We Quit Cigarettes

[featherhead007]

You should try original Coca Cola. I have been told that it does wonders for removing splattered bugs from the windshield.

They don't allow bugs to splatter here in California.

I'd like to try squirrel, to be honest... what do they taste like?
And, @ShannonR, how is today going?
@webbysmeme, are you okay? Did something bad happen? Please say something when you have a few minutes!
Kiki, you're doing great! Keep it up!
@WVduckchick, how goes the quitting?
@Meg-in-MT, how many are you down to now?
Keep it up, everyone!

Well, thanks for asking, Sapphire. But how many am I up to, unfortunately, is more appropriate. Still not as bad as I was under a pack a day...

True that, but you will never again have another 63rd birthday ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thank you, this is such a great place to just post a single thing that pissed you off.
Hope your day went well today

You folks are KILLING me with all the food ideas and pictures! I'm stuck at home and need to make do with what I have on hand for cooking, so I can't get too fancy with the recipes. I hope this lockdown doesn't go on very long or I will be obese.

I did not smoke today. I was also very crabby about that today. And I snacked only a little bit less than I did yesterday. I did, however, resist the urge to make those cookies today. I need someone besides toddlers to cook for.... I swear this is the absolute worst part of being alone for me.

Got a little bit of homework done this evening too, less stress if I don't procrastinate. Now I'm going to go pee on the potty like a big girl and go to bed dreaming of things that I should cook tomorrow!

Yay you for not smoking! Major kudos to you! I don't know how many days smoke-free that gives you, but every day is a victory so I am rejoicing with you, and for you. It gets easier, I promise! One day at a time. One hour at a time. One stinking craving at a time! You can win. You can beat this! You can be free!

What BigBlueHen53 said. Exactly what she said.
You go, guys! You can do this! Keep it up and never stop trying!

I just follow the directions on the bag. Maybe chop a little onion and garlic in with the black-eyed peas, but no meat of any kind. They are wonderfully flavorful on their own. IMHO.

Today wasn't bad. Cold and thunderstorm outside today, stayed inside with the kids all day except for about 45 mins this eve when the sun peeked through. Didn't smoke. I cooked eggs 2 ways for the kids for brunch, each kids prefers them a different way. Cooked up a batch of rice and then made fried rice, and rice pudding this evening. Lots of leftovers in refrigerator. Got my spring cleaning started, until the younger toddler decided he was terrified of the vaccum with the hose attached to it and freaked out majorly.

One of my next door neighbors is certifiably crazy. I had talked to her and told her to let me know if my dog's fits whenever I leave the house bother her. Today she asked if I still had the dog. Then the dog wandered over and she saw him. She then proceeds to come right over as close as my fence as she could possibly get (thanks for that social distancing gesture lady) then tell me she hadn't heard my dog lately. I explained that because I am out of school and dont want to annoy my neighbors, I had been taking the dog with me whenever possible if i leave. This whack job lady then told me that she knows of a spiritual healer for pets, and if I gave this dude a picture of my dog he could somehow change my dog's personality. Wow. I told her I am not a very religious person and not interested right now. I'm offended, honestly. My dog has excellent behavior, considering he is 10 weeks old.... that friggin hag. I didn't buy a Rottweiler so he could be silent as a church mouse and not ruffle her precious little feathers.

Guess that I should add, this is a different neighbor than the one who complained awhile back. I have cranky old ladies living on both sides of me. One of them I like, but the spiritual nutjob.... not so much. She seems like a sneaky, backstabbing type of person.

I have done a meatless version of black eye peas, as well. The trick is in the seasoning,, i.e. garlic. They come out great (I think)
