Geeez, three years today as a non-smoker really is exciting stuff but I am more tickled by seeing so many familiar faces here and all the new ones, too. I really am grateful to all of you for stopping by, thank you so much!
Martha, it's always a pleasure! You're not all that far behind us and most certainly included in that line-up. I remember that year fondly, too, and all the fun we had despite an occasional gnashing of teeth and gnawing on curtains and dish towels (I think that was Iris)!
unhooked, I find it hard to believe that someone who makes a decent margarita could be speechless! Many thanks, four more days to 50 and I'll be raising my glass to you!
Mr. Ed, I'm thrilled to be sharing an anniversary with you. I'm not sure our stars will align again anytime soon, I'm sure you and Pen can figure that out more easily than I! Congratulations to you!
aloha, you are adorable! This is said so many times to us "oldies" here and I am pleased and thankful. But remember that the newer quitters inspire us equally as well. I may not post here often but I come back almost daily to read and it's you young whippersnappers that keep us in check!
quitquit, I didn't get it right the first time and it wasn't always "light and breezy" for me but I got here and so you can! Join me!
Gen, I've been meaning to comment on your very cool textile piece (I'm guessing you designed it). Keep up the outstanding job, you're 8 days away from 100, how kool is that?!
mylast, love the photo, much more original than Ms. Jolie! Keep on going strong, you're doing so well!
Lady, that was the sweetest thing to say! And it IS awesome, no doubt about that! Enjoy your continued and well-deserved success, you have been a wonderful member of this site and much admired.
Casey, thanks so much for your well wishes. Just a quick aside, my T-shirt arrived yesterday, how's that for timing?!
Lainey, can I take all of the above? Three out of four? For those interested, my reward is another trip across the pond in less than two weeks to go on a "mini-break" with Pen around his countryside. Picture Bridget Jones (scarf flying) in the convertible with Colin Firth substituted for the despicable Daniel Cleaver!
awwww, banana, you win the sweetest doggy face award. You are well on your way and your stats are most impressive as well! Carry on!
boxerfan, thank you so much. I've just realized you're another 8-day-away contender for the beach. ENJOY!
Lamplighter! Firstly, I must apologize for not ducking my head in here sooner and giving you a hearty hello. I was so pleased to see you return and have been following your progress with interest. Thanks for the kind words, and yes, it's true. I think you can claim the same for yourself and I'm proud of you, too. "Let's keep on doing it" as Pen would say!
Tresa! I don't know if you know this but I think you were one of the first people to respond to my "introduce yourself" moment. I will never forget the thrill of that very warm welcome. Many thanks!
Debbie, thanks so much. I have tried to reward myself well along the way but thoroughly intend to enjoy my three-year in a very big way! I appreciate the well wishes!
Lolly, I am honored! I don't think I could have possibly imagined what was in store for me. It certainly exceeded any of my expectations! I'm happy to say that smoking rarely enters my mind and I find the freedom of THAT is more than I could have wished for. It's lovely to see you and warmest regards to you and yours!
Awww Pen, thank you for your early rising and early posting on my behalf. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than on this road with you. All my love, luna
