Just diving back in to say some more thank-yous! mlk � don't sell yourself short, 62 days is marvellous and you should be proud. These 1100 days started with day one! Lolly � yeah, way back when for sure; really should have done it sooner but then we all say that don't we?! Next stop for you � 1000!! Good Luck! Luna � a celebration indeed but the good one will be in July!!! And Lizzie, JMW is just about my favourite painter with Caravaggio a clear second! Norham Castle Sunrise left me spellbound at the Clore the first time I saw it but his effort on the same subject in 1797 does it for me too - more conventional for sure but very moody too. Off to Sotheby's next week to view the watercolours that they will be auctioning in July. The man was just so prolific!! Not sure if he smoked or not though � cheers!! Thanks all � just keep doing it!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/18/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1100 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 22,000 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,500.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 176 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

Ah, so you saw Norham Castle, Sunrise. That's in my hallway...not the original obviously....I haven't saved that much money from not smoking. The other 'pre-school' one was "Venice: Looking across the Lagoon at Sunset" (Watercolour on paper).

Hi Folks!!! Martha � The honour of travelling is mutual. I look forward to that day in August when you too will rejoice in 3 years of freedom. Thanks for coming back reincarnate! Genevieve & Lainey - 54 & 77 days respectively is an immense start and a foundation from which I know you will both springboard to greater things. Just keep your eyes on the prize. Josie � I am addicted!! Mister Ed � What to say other than thanks for being there; it is a comfort to know that you are just up the road and that you are selfless enough to always be available. Great quit, great bloke!! fagashlynne � love the name! I've watched every step of your 209 days and it has given me great pleasure to see you express your joy as each and every milestone has been reached. Just keep doing it. mitri � thank you for your kind words and my congratulations in return for your recent 100 day achievement. I have to tell you that I remember my 100 day mark fondly. It was 26 Aug 2004 and I knew then that I was going to win this one. Please take your opportunity too. Butterfly Swimmer � Thank you and congratulations on your recent 700 days! Lamplighter � Welcome back! You only ever fail if you give up trying. Let's do it this time no matter what. Deal? lilly � kind words indeed from the West Country; you too are shining as you effortlessly passed your one year earlier this month. Best wishes! kita � well, start imagining because with 61 days under your belt, you are well on your way. Just keep picking off the days and the weeks and months will eventually fly by. Good Luck! freemom � thank you. If some of my attitude rubs off on you, I will be happy that I may have helped in some way. duffis � my style doesn't suit everyone but if it suits you, then I'm happy and I wish you well. Rusty � thank you � I like the cat! 3galeh! � I thank you for your support too! Reward? Nothing special, although I am saving money to make my annual vacation in July something to be remembered!!! If you don't ask, hummy will!!! Lady � thanks, I'm pleased that things are starting to look up for you. PRB � yes, it can be done at any age. With 70 days, you have the platform to make this your last quit and I sincerely hope you do. boxerfan � so, it wasn't Mohammed Ali !!! I was brought up not to be boastful but on this occasion I make an exception. Thanks for your kind words and many congratulations for just passing the 50-day mark; you should be proud. hummy!!!! � you ain't so bad yourself!! Ahhh, it was nothing � oops, reverted to type! So my fellow May quitter who is well into her 3rd year�� yeah, like I said, you're not so bad yourself! Thanks for your kind words. Rachel � what a delightful post, I am touched and for once I am lost for words in reply. I feel I need say nothing other than thank you and respect! Dutch � hi Gilde Girl!! Tell me, have I made it into your book yet? Or at worst one or two of your therapy sessions! Many congratulations DF and thank you!!! Lizzie � What a sweet pooch but where's me Turner gone?! I hunted high and low at Tate Britain yesterday but struggled to remember what I was looking for since the doggie took over. Sunrise I managed but the rest? Nah! What's it called? And no I hadn't been at the Sinatra, it was all my own work!! Seriously, thanks Lizzie, thanks for your kind words and thanks for always being there. luna � hey Luna, great photo of Luna!!! Luna, what to say? What to do? Other than thank you once more for starting this thread and for taking this journey with me every step of the way. We've had fun quitting and we are having even more fun in our new smoke free lives together but when Frankie played at one of those early quit parties back in 2004, for all the people that were there at the time, you were the only person in the room with me. Today Luna, you are the only person in the room with me. Thanks Petal, ILY Pen x Thanks people and if that last paragraph was too schmaltzy for ya � TOUGH!!! Keep on Keeping On! Penitent d1098 :) :) :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/18/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1098 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 21,960 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,490.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 176 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Hi Lizzie! I had to comment on your stunning photograph, it's superb, and also had to add Luna to the doggie line-up! (Pen is off at Tate Britain tracking down your Turner.) Hi back attya Sandra!
