Newbie, taking my 1st steps

Sounds like it's all under control in Rudyland bud!  Good food (it'll keep tasting better each day), ice cold brewski, and your more than half way to your
first month of kicking ash!
 
Day by day, but it's a can do situation.  Listen, people used to call me a walking stick of nicotine.  If I can hit 1000 days tomorrow, ANYONE can.
Prost, and all the best, Capper

    Cigarettes Not Smoked

Hope you're as proud to be nonsmoker as you are to be a Canadian Indian. A little tip on the olives: corral em as they come out of the bottle, then cut em in half. They lay down meekly after that. Especially in cheesy beds. Hope you keep enjoying tasting things, even if they are mostly meat. You'd probably love what we do with pigs here : )

Thanks for trying. I'll just keep reminding everyone that I'm Canadian. Still smoke free. No real issues other being Canadian.
 
I ate well today. Nothing better then the 10 AM pork schnitzel. Oh, and blue cheese. Both Canadian. It stunk the office out  ha ha ha.
 
Did I mention I just became an Indian? Yep a real Canadian Indian. I'm not sure what I was before but now it's official. The government even sent me a letter saying so. I got the letter the same week I quit smoking. What a bummer. If it came a week earlier I could have smoked a peace pipe.
 
Back to the food. Had steak, squash and roasted potatoes for dinner. Canadian Grade A steak. That's strange, Grade A. Isn't everthing Grade A. Have you ever gone grocery shopping and bought Grade B or C steak? I think not.
 
I don't know what's on the menu tomorrow. I think I'll take some left over ham from the other night for lunch. It's Canadian ham incase you haven't guessed. We have some real big porkers up here.
 
 I bought this stuff the other day. I don't know what to call it. It's not mustard, it's just stuff. Holy smokes, it says sweet and spicy, but if you get this in your eyes you better call 911. Yes I often get food in my eyes. Well, they are close to my mouth. Ok, I have a nose in between but it happens.
 
The other thing that happens, happens with olives. Olives will jump off my spoon just as I've freed them from the jar. Then they bounce off my belly, hit the floor and roll under the dish washer.  Oh, that brings me back to blue cheese. Olives and blue cheese go great together, but I can't put the olives on the bread board. If I do, it's like playing that wood game Labyrinth, and I always lose.
 
Gotta go. Need another cup of coffee. It's Tim Horton's! Canadian eh.
 
 
Cheers

I cant find it, so I'd suggest contacting tech support and asking them

Oh yeah, and I don't know how to get you back over the border, but I'm going to look into it

lol Rudy, you're a breath of fresh air around here - in more ways than one.
 
Love the humor and the self talk. I had many arguments with myself during the early days. And I always won. It was great.
 
I also let myself sink into my peanut butter addiction for a while - on crackers, on toast with bananas and  strawberry jam, and straight out of the jar - by knife or finger, it didn't matter to me. Although I'm extremely impressed by your food creativity. I just never had the time for it. Wanted it right in the mouth. Immediately. I prepared for the 100 day milestone craving by buying three different kinds of ice cream bars - just in case.
 
But, that's past now. Now I'm addicted to hiking tall mountains, kayaking, and bodyboarding. No need for smoke breaks and I can breathe. Well, very well, thank you for asking.
 
Oh, if you run out of rooms to paint, come on over, I've got plenty to keep you busy. And an outside with a view : )
 
Keep it up, guy, you're doing great! The quit I meant. Just to clarify ; )

Congrats Rudy !!
 
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.  May be up and down for a while yet.  Ying and Yang.  Keep on truckin'.  Don't be shy about asking for some help here.
 
Good Wishes

Oh no. Forgot to reward myself. Guess that means I'll have to go fishing twice this weekend!
 
 Pretty soon I'm going to have to join an over eaters support forum. Or maybe see if there are any wing eating contests around. How much can you win at those contests?
 
If I won I could buy lots of blue cheese and pepperettes. Beer, I could buy beer to wash down all those high cholesterol foods that I so love. Oh I can see myself now. Sitting in my spot on the love seat watching Biggest Loser. Bread board resting on the arm of the love seat, loaded with a mountain of blue cheese, pepperettes inserted into the mountain resembling trees. I could put some of those bread and butter pickles on there too. They'd be the grass at the base of the mountain. I'd drink great bear out of one of my antique steins. It would be like Oktoberfest every day. Ein Prosit.
 
Oh, I have to stop. I'm starting to drool. Besides I gotta get to the pet store to buy some flea spray.
 
Cheers
