I have it on the best authority that our wagon is a magic wagon constructed of spandex capable of stretching to accommodate unlimited numbers.

Woman Sent To Jail For Smoking Around Kids
POSTED: 6:58 AM EDT August 13, 2004
BOWLING GREEN, Va. -- A woman was sentenced Thursday to 10 days in jail for defying a court order not to smoke around her children.
Tamara Silvius was banned last year from smoking around the youths, now ages 8 and 10, as part of a custody arrangement with her ex-husband.
She allegedly violated the order during a trip to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. For that, Silvius was fined $500 and was given a 10-day suspended sentence on the condition she not do it again.
But Silvius was back in court Thursday for violating the order a second time in June. Silvius, a pack-a-day smoker, claims the restriction violates her rights.
A judge upheld the order in January, citing medical evidence of the effects of secondhand smoke on children. Silvius has appealed to the Virginia Court of Appeals.
Mark A. Murphy, an attorney representing the children's father, noted that Silvius is free to smoke on days when the children are not with her.
Interesting that the story didn't say WHERE she was smoking. If she was in a vehicle or in the house, I agree. She violated the court order. If they were in the back yard or in a city park, that might be setting a bad example for the kids, but it would not be endangering them. (So far, the law doesn't prohibit being a bad example though no doubt that will be next.)
Anyhow, weekend gold stars for Obill, Jer, Heeven, swolf, and Ms EB. Way to go everybody and keep it up. You really don't want Aunt Foxy to have to give one of her famous 30-second lectures.
Heading into the weekend...no worries no problems...and thank you for the gold stars Foxy
The judge and father sound a little ridiculous in that case...even though I'm not smoking, everyone's still gotta be reasonable
Still smoking my brains out. No worries no problems...
Hmmm....wondering if Kicky would benefit from one of my 30-second lectures? Fair warning - they generally involve corner, lima beans, and/or soap.
That's what I like about you Kicky...
I just went on a cross country trip from Ma. to Ca. The plan was to visit relatives in Ca. (non-smokers) mind you. I smoke about 1 and a half packs a day soooo, I decided to try and quit just before I got to their house (we would be staying with them for a few day's) I bought some nicorette gum and lasted ONE DAY without a cigarette, then I started sneaking them, I felt like a junkie.
I FAILED :-(
I've been following this thread and thought at least trying to quit is something.
I'll try again.
Nods to all who are succeeding. :-)

paulaj, I don't think you should consider yourself a failure. I think you just chose the wrong time to try to quit.
You probably need to chose a time when you can concentrate on quitting. A time when you won't be under a lot of stress or interruption of your routines.
I urge you to try again. You may find it helpful to start at the beginning of this topic and read the advise and comments from A2Kers which helped those who have succeeded.

Thank you for your input, I have read this thread which gave me the courage to even try.
I re-thought the failure part and failing would be not even trying. I will try again.
Never think of yourself as a failure. It could be habit forming.
Well thank you edgar, I'm going to take your advice.
I tend to be harsh with myself at times.
Edgar.... good statement! :-)
Goodness knows noone in this thread needs any more habits! hahah
Glad to see everyone is still doing well and the band wagon is still bellybutton to ashole full. HAHAHAHAHAH!
paula - trying is definitely something you have to do at least once on the road to quitting (at least in my experience)
it worked best for O'Bill, at the beginning of the thread, to have his family visit first - and know that his plan was to quit after he'd returned home. that particular approach seems to have worked for him.
finding your own way to be a non-smoker isn't easy (unless yer no worries jer :wink: )
