WELCOME BACK FREEMOM. All the wenches jumping up and down like school girls do.Remember we all are young right.;) We are so glad to see you back. We have thought of you often and awaited your return. Now let's get the party started because you have returned and Lynn has 5 months. Also welcome back Captain. It sounds like a great weekend. We had summer weather here, but no pools were open. Oh well that will be soon enough. Sorry to hear about the rain Pat. Congrats are in order to you as well regarding the job. A little extra chocolate for extra energy. A big hello and welcome to Aunt Deb. We would love to have you join us on the ship. We are usually laughing and singing. We are also here to support each other through the good times and rough times. Mom Mom how was the trip. The pre-trip story was wonderful, so I can't wait to hear the post-trip story. Hi KY check in with us. You doing okay? Rainie I hope things are slowing down and you can enjoy the spring. We do need to get on deck to start working on our tans. The wonderful thing is no sun screen needed on the magic ship. Well friends, I am going to go watch a movie with the family. The nice thing is I do not have to miss any of it to go outside. Yeah. Have a Marvelous Monday. Julie 20 miles down-80 to go.

Good evening Cap'n, shipmates and visitors, Just a quick post tonight after a wet but productive day of working outside in the rain. I have some requests for you all to offer support to some people we care about. Cap'n, Rainie, Faith when you get back, MomMom, Freemom, Lynn, Phil, Kygirl, everyone who's onboard please pitch in. Our mentor and regular visitor Lady has posted for some support in her thread "over the edge". Please lend her your support or prayers if possible during her time of need. MomMom...let us know if there's anything we can do to help you resolve your dilema. It's possible you have hit the 30 day pits or that you just need to relax, regroup or refocus on your reasons for quitting and staying quit. We're here for you and hope you will not hesitate to reach out to your shipmates. Freemom...please check in when you have time. How are you doing, what are your plans and how are your strategies and rewards working for you. Let us know what we can do....don't hesitate...we are here and ready and willing to assist. Cap'n, glad you've had such a great week and weekend. Enjoy tomorrow as well, and then it's back to your regular duties is it not? Did you by any chance have a wee glass of rum on the 19th hole this afternoon? It was so nice of you to pull out your harmonica and blow us some blues! Not just any blues mind you, but some get down, start crying, begging for more blues, you wouldn't get depressed blues, but the real feel good blues. Arggghhh, this wench adores the Allman Brothers and agrees that this tune really does sum up the Magic Ship and what it stands for. Pat, First Mate ***wanders down the aft deck, looking for a large hammock and looking up at the stars while humming softly under her tired breath**** Everybody's got a mountain to climb, This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes, Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on, Need somebody help you get back home, Need a friend to help you find your way home [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 56 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,247 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $784 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

...a wonderful afternoon...the yard work is done, I got 18 in today, and pretty good at that, now all is left is to crack open a couple of cold ones, fire up the charcoal, put on the burgers, and tune in some basketball, life is good I must say...and smoke free to boot...hope everyone is enjoying their weekend...The Captain pulls out the hamonica and starts into a Dickey Betts (Allman Bros) tune, and I really think this is what the Magic Ship is all about.... Everybody's Got A Mountain To Climb Everybody's got a mountain to climb, This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes, Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on, Need somebody help you get back home, Need a friend to help you find your way home. Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night, Big sun going down, Lord it's a pretty sight, Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song, Listen to it all night long. Everybody's got a mountain to climb, Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine, Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin', Everybody's got a mountain to climb, Everybody's got a mountain to climb. Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?, Take away the loser's one last chance?, Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while? You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'. So, hey let me tell you what I'm talkin' about, You can't go around with your lip stuck out. Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad, Anyway it's the best old life I ever had. Everybody's got a mountain to climb, Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine, Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin', Everybody's got a mountain to climb. Everybody's got a mountain to climb, Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine, Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin', Everybody's got a mountain to climb.

FREEMOM! Welcome back aboard! It is so good to see you and to know that you didn't forget about US! It hasn't been the quite the same without you. Grab a chair, we'll bring you the wine and chocolate so you can just relax in the sun as we cruise to Cabo. Yes, you are "on the road again" with us!

Hi Magic Shipmates! I finally had the chance to catch up a bit here and was so touched to see that you hadn't forgotten about me while I was gone. Event was successful, but the 2-3 weeks leading up to it were soooo rough. Didn't sleep much, eat well and did smoke AND HATED the fact that I was doing it every step of the way. I just wasn't in a "place" where I had the time/energy to backtrack. But now I'm back, had the very last one (and thanks to being back on the Chantix full time it did nothing for me but give me relief that it was the last one and that this hell I let myself get back into can finally be over!) I'm so impressed that so many of you have surpassed that 50 day mark! You all rock. I can't wait till I get there. So, bring out that chocolate (the magic kind that doesn't make you gain weight!) and I'm ready to start the tunes up again. This is the one that keeps popping into my head tonight ... "On the road again, going to places that I've never seen(been?). Oh I just can't wait to get on the road again." - Kenny Rogers (I think - my brain isn't fully functioning yet!)

Hey everyone, A Big Welcome back to our major duffer, the Capt. MrMagic, and also to Phil. Glad to have you both back onboard with your insight, wisdom, and humor. Yes, we love our ship, it's crew, and our frequent and infrequent passengers. Maybe it isn't the right ship for everyone, but that's okay. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla! Everyone has a choice, and all of us have chosen to support each othr, and our NOPE pledge! And it's working! Congratulations, and chocolates to all. More wine, anyone? Yes, I'll join you now that the bruises have healed and I have sobered up. :p Oh, and Nurse and Hubby should be back soon. Still smoke free happy to report! (It's their 6 mo. anniversary today so they may be a little (ahem) busy.) :blush: I am also busy today, half day of work and then we go pick up the boat. Just wanted to add my 2cents and to say hello! Still found a song for us, though. Bristol on Sunday!!! :) YAY! See Ya! Yellow Submarine ~ Beatles~ In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines So we sailed up to the sun Till we found a sea of green and we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live is a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine And our friends are all aboard Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live is a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine (Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead Full speed ahead it is, Sgt. Cut the cable, drop the cable Aye, sir, aye Captain, captain) As we live a life of ease Everyone one of us has all we need Sky of blue and sea of green In our yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live is a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live is a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B
