How about a real New Year Resolution?? Can I persuade you to, QUIT SMOKING?

NO!
I already did that 20 years ago!

But, thanks for asking. :)



BTW I made the egg nog fudge recipe in your holiday recipes post...sort of.

I had to use semi-sweet baking squares, as I didn't have white chocolate; and I didn't have pecans, so used walnuts & pine nuts instead. Oh, and I doubled or so the amount of spices.

But it is a VERY good recipe, otherwise I couldn't make all those changes and still have it come out as good as it did! LOL

Unfortunate use of the word "chipper," considering the news headlines this week....

No fair! I wish I'd done it on New Year's. I didn't write
it down and now I have no idea when it was to celebrate.

Congratulations to you though!

Can I persuade you to, QUIT SMOKING?

You don't have to. After many, many attempts, I finally, once and for all, quit a two pack day, 35 year, smoking habit. That was six years ago. But, unfortunately, not before I developed COPD. Every lung-full of tar and nicotine that I inhaled was my choice and I knew full well the chance I was taking, as I suspect does every smoker who reads this. None of the people who tried to get me to quit were successful. I quit when I couldn't breathe anymore.

Still, Carlo, I do applaud your effort to educate people to the realities of nicotine addiction and the damage it causes. If your post causes just one person to try one more time, it might just be the last time they have to "try". That would be a good thing.

Happy New Year to you!

I did so many Dark Truffles with pecans and Good Brandy that I would send you some but all the normally quiet females who help us out converged and hoarded them away.

DAMN SQUIRRELS!

COPD is not a life long diagnosis.

Start hiking and or what ever your body can do to get the lung brushes working again.

BTW my specialty is RPT.

You are not doomed to the pharmacudicals.....be well and stay active. Smile

Well January 1st is my birthday. I had to place my Mom in a care center in mid December due to advanced dementia so I'll be alone this year. My sister and her family live in Arkansas. I have the weekend off so I'll do what I do every year sit up till 12Am and watch the ball drop and then go to bed.

Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you Carlo for sharing your story.
You're quite a guy.

==+
===

To All:

My mother was a smoker.
She is dead.

My father was a smoker.
He is dead.

My step-mother came home
from work and found my father
in the garage dead. She quit smoking
that day.

My step-mother was a smoker.
She is dead.

For all of you reading Carlo's story;
may I ask you to consider to quit
smoking -- NOW?!

Kicking a habit of any kind is not easy.
Prayer is powerful.
Why not look to God for assistance
as you quit your addiction?

Something to think about.

Thanks for the encouraging message. I recently bought an elliptical trainer upon my doctor's recommendation and will recommence my exercise routine now that the holidays are behind us.

Yes, I smile everyday. A chemical no longer controls me!
