:) Kelly, I am not sure either. :) Hope I didn't scare you too much during halloween. Plus I have a habit of writing honestly and from the heart, which is not always a good thing. As well as the change in frequency of JDK threads I am making sure I don't post so much emotional outpourings, which I have succeeded in doing for three days now? Instead I have thrown myself deep into my work, which meant that I have not been posting much. Today is of course a very special day. It is Sue and John's six month celebration. Just wanted to say.. you two rock and you are such a shining light around here...and that may just be johns tie-dye shirts! :) I'll have some stories this weekend that I have been saving up. In the meantime, the new kev thread rules are : 1) I will start a new thread if a thread reaches 75 posts or is two weeks apart. Whichever happens first. 2) I will not post any big pictures, to avoid slow loading times. Anyway, happy friday everyone. Best wishes to One More Try and Goofy, keep at it. You can do it.

Can someone please point me to a site to assist me with going from weekly JDK threads to bi-weekly JDK threads? *sigh* Just kidding, Kev. I think it's a good idea. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 68 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,040 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $397.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Hi Gen, I confused the issue by discussing where my mum is upto in reading my past threads! On the holiday front. Its all cool. I am looking forward to going on a saga holiday in 20 years or so. I hear it is like 18-30's for the older generation! ... as I missed out on that fun..well I could have been the father of hundreds of little JDK's by now :) It is possible that these wild 18-30's holiday thing is over hyped. Cream - right - Eric Clapton. Cool, yes. I'll check it out. So that was your party piece hey? I did ask her to do her bit but all I heard was 'something OFF'. It must have been a very short scottish poem or something. :) She had a great halloween-birthday, so that is all that matters to me. p.s. I will hold off from starting a new thread this week. I am going to try making one last 2 weeks this time. Lots of love from Kev [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 112 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,800 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �470.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

Hi Kev It doesn't have to be a dance. She can sing or recite a poem. Can't remember what 'my piece' was but everyone had one. When I grew up and used to get drunk I was always called upon for rendition of 'A Mother's Lament' (you can find it on an old Cream album). Think something was lost in translation with regard to the SAGA holiday story. My mother's foot didn't come in to it. SAGA is a company that arranges holidays for the 'over 50's' but unfortunately most of them on this holiday were my mother's age was what I meant. Glad you're sounding cheerier. Am girding my loins and steeling myself etc. for the onslaught of little 'darlings' who will come soon in their witches' costumes and I will shoo them away with treacle toffee. Not before the dog's scared them a little though with his big bark.

New and improved mood kev just popping in to say ... 'Happy smokefree Halloween' ... to one and all. Sue, yippee I got one sunflower invite! Third time lucky then :) Thanks. I love sunflowers. Unhooked, expressing is a good thing. I'm glad we have an expressive unhooked. Btw, how else I am ever going to learn about these new funky sayings? :) Btw, the deep breathing exercises work just as well at 110 days as they do at 10 days! It relaxes, slows you down, and centers your thoughts. A case of relearning the tools I forgot about. It is especially useful today as there are no smokers about and therefore I will not be going for any virtual smokes. On other news, it is my quit buddy's birthday today (yep on halloween every year). I've got her a nice treat and a tacky treat. Now that Gen told me about the dancing (remember she is a glasgow /Loch Lomond lass) maybe I should get her to dance before giving her the treats? :) :) Enough from me for now. I am keeping it short and sweet. Plus I would like to show Kelly's son that I am responsible and not a constant worrier :) I often forget I could have young impressionable minds watching. Hey Kelly's son, Life's good, enjoy. Did I do ok? (HUGS) from Kevin aka Lil Live-wire. P.s. Plans for today 1) Work hard, fb less :) 2) Get playlist for halloween together tonight. 3) Hand out sweeties to trick or treaters in place of my mum (she's not well) 4) Go for the relaxing bath I never had last night 5) Listen to that CD.

Love you, too, Kev. Like you & Sue, my family was very bottled-up & non-emotional, too. I'm much happier & more confident since I've started to learn to express myself. Just sayin'.

Hey Kev, top of the morning to you Mate :D Hey My Mum and Dad were the same as yours. Mum is true brit no emotion we don't talk about anything and Dad bless him was the cold silet war type I had to be seen and not heard. Totally lead to passive agressive I'll get them by smoking behaviour on my part. Only through conseling am I the slightest part sane, and in large part due to my fabulous husband and terrific friends. I love them. Kev, you are just fine mate, you have quit love, just accept it and move on with things. I don't think you have much to sort out at all okay. Take some photos and post them so I can see them okay? I hope you finally got my bloody sunflower bumper sticker as I have sent it 3 times now :D xo Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 180 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,800 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $315.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25
