Craven and Bi-Polar Bear have inspired OCCOM BILL to finally

BBB
Sheesh! That will teach me to never mention boobies again.

BBB

Well most of us have em. I don't see why they shouldn't be mentioned.

Foxfyre
Foxfyre, you've been keeping secrets from us. You never told us you had a pair of Pelicans. What do you feed them?

BBB :wink:

Me either. Especially considering I really like um. EhBeth posted a pic of a beautiful pair of boobies above... didn't you see it?

Er. . . ah. . . ummm. . .

Okay back to remedial reading class.

Foxfyre
Foxfyre, that's ok sweetie, as a denizen of Albuquerque, you are forgiven.

BBB :wink:

Re: EhBeth and OB


Hmm, I like the sound of those friggit-birds!

Aw thanks BBB. We still need to get together for that cup of coffee. And I love pelicans

Foxfyre
Foxfyre, me too. We had brown pelicans who made their nests along the San Francisco bay front, the estuary, and the lagoon system where I lived and worked on Bay Farm Island in Alameda, California. We were responsible for maintaining the wild life preserve, which also contained giant herons, both white and blue, Canada ducks, and the ubiquitous mud hens along with other bird species in addition to the four footed critters.

You will never guess the gift I'm taking to Dys today. A big pink flamingo bird feeder. Diane wants him to hang it in the rear yard but Dys will insist on hanging in the front yard just to piss off the neighbors. He's loves pink flamingos.

BBB

Oh good. Now I'll find out if they bought the house up the street from us. I'll just look for the pink flamingo.

Foxfyre
Foxfyre, naw, they're slumming over on the West side of the Rio Grande river a mile from me.

BBB

Oh okay. West siders are good people too except for their driving.

Day 10:

No worries & no problems!

GO SMOGGY!!

Rock on Jer!

HHmmm... I missed the fun part about boobies and smokes.
> looking at own boobies <
Mine dont smoke? .. or did I miss something?
Maybe I missed my psychotrophic meds this morning.....

But yes Occom.. to answer you, I did only smoke about 4 cigarettes a day. I was HAPPY smoking. I deliberatly kept my smoking to a minimum so that I would keep enjoying it. I remember for about 3 months I would smoke about a pack and a half a week minimum and I didnt like it as much. So I limited myself and loved it. I still want to smoke. I dont want to quit. But I just dont want to raise a smoker and I dont want to be a hyprocrite when i try to teach my daughter not to do **** like that.
Also... on a moral level ((( yes i do have morals )))
I really feel that if I continued smoking , I would be selfishly taking myself away from my daughter . She doesnt need to loose me in 10 years or so to a cancer that I could have provented but didnt because I was too selfish to stop smoking.
>sigh< I hate being a grownup!

hahaha.

You sound like a great mom shewolfnm, rock on!

shewolfnm
shewolfnm, I have to admire someone who thinks in advance about the welfare of a child before their own pleasure.

Big Nods to all of you that have quit.

But I have to ask this. How are your waistlines doing. Most people head straight for the frig after quitting. I once heard it's an automatic 10 pound weight gain even if your eating habits don't change, due to the metabolism slowing down.

Some truth there Paul. I softened up little. I haven't actually put on any weight, but can tell I would if I didn't take steps not to. I used to smoke a pack and half a day, which at 7 minutes per comes to 3 and a half hours spent smoking. Surely there is time for a little exercise now, so I do. I'll report back if it works.

GO JER!
GO SMOG!

I agree Bill. It is important to do at least 20 minutes of aerobic level exercise - treadmill, cycling, rowing, jogging/running, power walking, etc. - at this stage. No worries if you initially put on 2 or 3 pounds as this is common and it quickly comes off with the exercise, plus you feel sooooo much better.

I have a friend who is a physical therapist working in a rehab facility here and she tells me those on a weight reducing, physical fitness regime actually get the last five pounds off more easily if they quit smoking.

So anyway, affixing today's gold stars for Bill, Jer, and Smog. What happened to Heeven? She doesn't get a gold star?
