Roll Call Week of February 18, 2008

[Flo]

Good morning all you quitters! What a gorgeous day we are having here in Lotus Land. It seems to have been a long long time since we have seen the sun mixed with warm weather and it's really great. Apparently rain coming though but still...

Hey! It's the 18th...three more months and it will be my 2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY. Wow. Had a couple of quick urges this weekend. It seems I always get urges around my anniversary date. It's like a test. Thank goodness I passed! I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's on the weekend with Audrey Hepburn. One of my favorite movies. I never noticed before that she smokes in this movie. Even though it was Audrey Hepburn, there's no way I would put my self in the vicinity of a smoker. I'm not going back there. One puff and it would be the death knell for me. Smoking is not an option for me any more.

Have a great smokeless week everyone! Spring is coming.

Hello all....Glad you're enjoying the sunshine, Flo...you're doing sooooo good!
Yes, Audry Hepburn was a chain smoker. (So was Jackie Kennedy.) I love to watch old movies, but it is strange to see everybody smoking in them.

Becky, are you still here? I haven't seen you on IM lately, and been concerned about you!

I think everyone smoked in the old movies and TV programs but back then no one knew the consequences that would bring.

It's a lovely day here but the cold is coming along with more snow so I'm flying the coop to visit my sister in Scottsdale tomorrow - YEAH!!!!!

Still quit;

Well, Slim, did you win anything at the casino?

Movies, John Wayne, in a boat said to his lady companion "I'll race you to shore just as soon as I finish my cigarette". Yeah boy, that'll give you a boost, at least I thought so when I was 13.

pops,

I won a fabulous evening in a 5 star hotel in the top suite with all a full compliment of wine and
snacks along with a tasty meal in there best restaurant. Other than than i didn't win a thing. Just made donations. Best thing is that the whole place is NON Smoking...not even a whiff of smoke in the air.
Very cool.

[Don]

Slim...a non-smoking casino, is there such a thing?

It just isn't socially acceptable to smoke anymore, anywhere.

Winter won't leave. Mother Nature needs to turn up the thermostat.
I NEED Spring.
