Thanks on both accounts.
It is a tradition in England to go a diet or quit smoking on the 1st January, most people have broken it by the 2nd though LOL
:0)
What did you buy, half of which I probably would not recognise.
Yes, about that much, or a bit more. I live in East Tennessee at only about 1,000 feet elevation. The near moutains I can see snow on them, and drive up; but a copule of times a year, I like a good snow in my yard. It's been maybe three years since my lads were able to sled, or make some $$ shovelling.
See you later Miss Marple and happy new year
Do you think it will lay?

Welcome, and if Teddy is ever in your vicinity, please fart in his general direction for me!
Happy New Years all Freepers!!!
We'll be having pork and sauerkraut tomorrow.
We have pork on New Years Day, because a pig "roots forward" into the new year. A chicken scratches back, so you never want to have chicken on New Years Day.
Heard this growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania.
HOLIDAY TEQUILA COOKIE RECIPE
1 cup of water
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo
again, to be sure it is of the highest quality. Pour one level cup and
drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy
bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make
sure the Cuervo is still OK. Cry another tup...just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in
the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor. Mix on the
turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose
with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift
two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon
of thugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the
cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Finally, shrow the bowl
through the window, finish the Coze Juervo and make sure to put the stove in
the dishwasher.

I love it LOL
Prayers for your hubby, LucyJo. One word of caution...(I hated when this happened!).... do NOT bring up the *subject* while he's in withdrawl.
It seemed like every time I turned around someone would ask me how I was doing. Inside my brain - thousands of times every day - I was telling myself, "You CAN do it! You DON'T want a smoke! Concentrate on something ELSE!!"
About that time, some kind thoughtful person asked me HOW WAS I DOING WITHOUT MY CIGS and brought the whole subject up again, LOL!
Remember self doubt CAN be your strongest ally once you
convince it that it's wrong.
And just think of your furniture/car etc.
My brother just moved into a new house and a friend gave him a sofa cause he didn't have any furniture, it reeks of
cigarette smoke, and my brother says it gives him a headache
just being in the living room!
I know now I'm allergic to nicotine, just the whiff of smoke will cause my nose to shut down and I can't breathe.
He CAN do it!!!
I'm with you, Mama_Bear! If a doctor ever squinted at me and said I was dying of a terminal disease, I'd ask him to hand me a CIGARETTE.
(And for all you backsliding smokers out there reading this), those cravings DO go away. It just takes time.
Welcome to FR, darlingsugarplum. Living in Boston, I would imagine you are more in need of this refuge than some others. If you are interested in politics, you will enjoy the interesting and often quite bruising discussions here. Gov. Romney will surely take some lumps :)
