Also, make a goal for yourself. As soon as I save enough money as the cost of a Wii, I am buying one as long as I don't smoke the entire time. Granted, I only smoked 1/2 pack, but for 7 years now. I should have enough money for the Wii in about 5 months and enough for the Wii fit by the time winter hits, which I will need, especially with all the weight I have put on. I gave myself the okay though to gain some weight. Otherwise, I don't think I would be where I am at. Good luck.

We should talk via e-mail. Sounds like we have..sm
had similar things happen to us. I have been divorced for 5 years. I did the dating site a few years ago and met some real freaks. Right now I'm talking to someone I dated 13 years ago and another man who is going through a divorce. Feel free to e-mail me.
30 days cigarette free
Been chomping on the nicotine gum like a fanatic. When will I stop thinking about them? Stressed, changing jobs, being sued, sueing, kid home from school, all alone, gotta mow the lawn, gotta move out of my old digs, gotta fix the car -- on and on and on. We type reports about people who smoked heavily and then quit 20 years ago. How do I stay strong? I'm 43 with a 6-year-old. Dad died from the smokes at 58. I just want to live long enough to be a grandma now. Advise? Thanks sisters. Hanging on by a thread.
Certainly! Feel free to email me. NM

I hate it when (feel free to add your own)
When you get the kitchen completely cleaned up and forget the crockpot (dirty) on the other counter. arrrrgh
A prayer chain has begun on the Prayer Request board. Feel free to

I make around $50,000 but I work 7 days a week and long days, although I'm not a fast typer eithe
I think even if your fast, you'd still have to work more than 40 hours a week to make that but I could be wrong.
I remember those days too, but these days they don't want make any child felt left out. They wan
to make each of them feel special and that they have accomplished something. My 8-year-old brings a certificate of some kind during the day, accelerated reader award, trustworthy award, jr. achievement award, etc. I guess in a way, no one kid is pointed out as the "teacher's pet" or have the other kids being jealous of him/her for getting this or that award. 
You're free to pray, but not free to discriminate
It's as simple as that.
Did ya ever just wanna talk about nuthin' just to talk?
As I said before in another post, I miss everyone so much...
So, I have absolutely NOTHING to talk about. Love my new job, love that spring is on the way, and I love that my belly is absolutely filled up with pancakes my husband kindly made for me just now...even though it's lunchtime and not breakfast. I'm one of those freaks that could eat breakfast-type foods at every meal.
...and that reminds me that it's almost that time of year to order some baby chicks for next month. Laying hens, not for meat or anything, just eggs and entertainment. I can't wait for warm weather--it's been a long HARSH winter this year. In fact, I think we're due for another ice storm at the end of the week.
I hope everyone who stops by to read my note about nothing finds themselves and their families in good health. Miss you all, even the ones that can't stand seeing that "Hayseed" name up there.
Go try it, talk, talk and listen sm
Counselors are trained to "listen" and direct you to talk (not them). I have transcribed many, many mental health reports. They do dig deep and keep it going for a very long time, very long, usually (perhaps not for you). But if you both don't tell the truth, you are wasting your money, so why not just get it all out on the table and get it over with and get on with your lives? Don't pussy foot around, get it all out and deal with it. Gosh, life is too short to put on a show, it's not a dress rehearsal, it's life. Go forward, forgive, forget and forge ahead. Don't need a degree for that!! But a little help can't hurt. Might help.

e-mail
Sorry....I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers or get on the soapbox.....It appears we've got a lot in common, namely patriotism....Tried to e-mail ya, but it kept coming back, ergo I thought your were incommunicado.
I worked for the Veterans Service Agency (what would be called Veterans Affairs now) 30 years ago and still spend an inordinate amount of time at the VA with my husband, bless his heart.
I'm glad you enjoyed the bit about the politician's kids.
Have a great Labor Day Wknd!

I got that ad in the mail the other day
and threw it away. I won't step foot in that place. I was wondering how I even got on their mailing list. H said he thinks it was because he bought some perfume for me there 2 Christmases ago. Anyway, this reminded me of a conversation I had on a parenting forum I visit. A good many of us were disgusted at a Neiman Marcus ads that kept popping up. It looked as if they were hiring 13 or 14-year-old girls to model maternity clothes for them.
not my mail
How do eliminate mail that comes to previous residents of your home? I know you can write "wrong address" on mail and have it returned, but what about junk mail? Will the post office accept junk mail returned this way? I do not know if the previous residents completed a change of address form or not. They have not lived at this address for many years; however, mail still comes on a daily basis. How do you get rid of all this?
too much mail
Fill out a form at the post office telling them who is to receive mail at this address, they have the forms, just explain the situatioin to them. Then you will only get mail for who you have indicated to the post office
Anyone else get this letter in mail?
Got letter in mail -- inquiry about 'opportunity' for my service to hire on 50+ MTs including dictation platform - something about an MTSO losing 98% of its hospital business in November and wanting to place these MTs. ? I'm wondering if these poor MTs even know about it yet ??
I would write an e-mail sm
and say "I love you anyway!"
That's it! Whatever happens, happens. You can not control how other people act or react, nor can you change people. So, you need to just love like you always do and move on from whatever is hurting you.
Best of luck to you and many blessings!
Hi Hayseed...sent you an e-mail...nm

RE: E-mail status
I just heard that you can check the status of an e-mail you send to see if it has been opened or not. Anyone know how to do this?
Yahoo e-mail
Mine has been acting up for a couple of days now. I went in the other day and all of my mail in my inbox and "trash" was gone! I know there were things there. I went to their answer forum and others said that yahoo is having difficulty currently, and to go back to the classic Yahoo and see if that helps until they get the problem figured out. Sort of scary if you ask me!
it appears I still have your old e-mail...sm
I sent an e-mail to you a coupla days ago and it bounced back. Just e-mail me and I can update my address book. What did you think about barforama! Poor Juliet Cat
I have a PO Box, and I still get the junk mail. nm
momt....please e-mail me. Don't know
if I can help at all, but would be here if you just needed to talk. Don't know what you are thinking but I come from "the most" dysfunctional" family there it. I have suffered from depression all my life. Would be glad to corrospond with you if you would like. Am about to sign off, need to start dinner, if you do respond please don't think I am ignoring your. Good thoughts being sent your way.
Mine is 06 and nothing in the mail yet. NM

unwanted mail
Write "Return to Sender - Refused" on the package when you take it to the post office. Then call the company who is sending you this stuff and really give them a piece of your mind. Also make sure to document everything. If these steps don't do any good then file a complaint with the post office.
For those that have comcast e-mail
I have a question. I have two e-mail accounts, one is Yahoo and the other is Comcast. I received e-mail through both. My Yahoo account will notify me with a pop-up that I have mail. Comcast doesn't. Is there a way I can set it to notify me when I receive e-mail? TIA
read my mail
Link Below.
I sent you the original e-mail that I sm
got back. Your e-mail address is coming back without the "e" on the end of chelle. Looks like somehow it is getting forwarded wrong through MT stars. Anyway I corrected in my address book. You might want to contact MT stars about it. Check your aol e-mail for my letter.
Looking to quit my job.
I had recently 2 weeks ago barrowed $2500 from my 401k in order to make ends meet during the holiday season. I am unhappy with my current employer and would like to look for another job but they say that if I leave before that loan is paid off then I will have 3 months to pay it back (i cannot) or I have to pay tax penelties. Well my question is,would it go on this years taxes or next years taxes if I quit before 12/31
I have never taken anything to help me quit, but (sm)
I have quit several times for years at a time, and I always did it cold turkey. The only way I got through it was because I TRULY WANTED TO QUIT. Is it possible that they really don't WANT to quit, they just THINK THEY SHOULD? This may not make sense to a nonsmoker, but that is the point I am at now. I know I should quit, just don't want to, and I don't believe I would no matter what I took. It's a mindset, I think.
Then just keep doing what you are doing and quit
complaining and live with it.
Quit your job -
For some reason can't get mail through Yahoo right now. (sm)
Is there a problem with the Yahoo mail system anyone knows about. The Yahoo web site pulls up fine, it is just the mail.
help with yahoo mail alert
i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!! would you please help me? many thanks.
I'm not getting Yahoo mail today
I wouldn't have thought much about it until I saw your email. I'm emailing you a test email to see if you get it.
No mentors, formerly done via mail order, etc.
I answered this before but don't know where it went. We worry he is being used but he asked us to think positive. We are sick about it but can't dare say anything. He is doing his best to ask for help, a competitor just laughed in his face at Manhattan. Newer product previously ordered online or through catalogs, no prior salesperson cold calling.
Anyone else's yahoo e-mail down tonight? nm

Hot mail change and no pics
My hotmail email account sometimes changes the way it looks with upgrades or whatever they are doingl. Ever since the last time, when someone sends me an email with a picture in it (not an attachment), the pictures are blank. What can I do?
Would rather have someone hand it than e-mail cards sm
I only use these on occasions they don't usually make cards for. I send one to my bro for Vets day with Flag and music, he loves it but not for Christmas, please!
Gift for mail carrier?
Hi all.....does anyone have an inspired idea for a gift for the mail carrier? Our mail carrier always takes the time to stop and talk if she sees us out....and she just told me that they lost their family dog to cancer. She is so nice...I would like to remember with a little something.....she is definitely not into sweets.....so cookies and candy are out.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
My DH is a mail carrier, here's stuff he gets:
Cookies and candy, which you say are out.
We get bags of apples or oranges and nuts.
He gets gift cards for Walmart and Pizza Hut, which is funny because he used to deliver for Pizza Hut.
I usually give the mail carrier a gift card for Walmart for 25.00. This year might not, because we are so broke. DH also gets cash in a card. He likes that best, even the 5 buck ones because it's always great for him to have pocket money. No matter what the mail carriers appreciate anything, even a card. Good luck to you!
Used to give to our mail carrier but
he retired and the one we have now delivers mail when they feel like it. He used to deliver around 9?30 a.m. and never missed that time. I used to give him gift cards and/or cookies every year. If there was a package to deliver, he would bring it to the door along with the mail. He retired last year and we have a new "person."
Now the mail comes anytime between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. If hubby is waiting for a check on a Saturday, we're out of luck to deposit until Monday. Then we have the luxury of looking at it until Monday and, in the meantime, hope nothing comes into the bank that we forgot to write in the bank book. If I'm waiting for a package, I have to remember to get to the mailbox and check 3-4 times a day because he/she never brings any packages to the door even if it's raining or snowing.
This new mail carrier gets nothing from me this year, or any time until he/she gets his/her shitsu- together.

But I wonder how many people REALLY quit going
to these stores. I know my SIL never quit WalMart even though she was devastated because "they" (whoever they are) were taking Christmas away from her. Seems like a lot of talk but not a lot of ACTUAL action.
will you quit attacking - I never said....sm
I never said anything bad about Koreans or him being Korean - you have no idea who you are typing at on this board...I am so not racist and so tolerant but you'd have no clue about that.
At the time I posted it was a 23-y/o Korean THE DETAILS of the details of who did the shooting had not hit the newswires UNTIL THEN.
Please get over yourself.
Quit tripping
I hate no one but I sure dislike him quite a bit. If you read my post correctly, I said HE wanted Iraq to share the oil, that means we do not have, correct?? Useless conflict, lost lives, another Viet Nam and might as well cut your losses and leave. Over 2000 years of unrest in that land and the US is supposed to change. Ha! I for one am so glad about the standoff being him and the senate with him being unable to afford his war anymore.
Yep, me. I quit my hospital job sm
to work at home just because I got tired of some mean people in the office complaining I was always in the bathroom. Like I really wanted to be there.
I quit 3 months ago!
I feel great! I can even be around others and not have a craving. I am just starting to be bothered by the smell.
GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Quit nitpicking
Isn't this one place we can type without worrying about doing something ridiculous like making a typo or a spelling error???? I sometimes get more anxiety about posting on here because everyone nitpicks it to death with the spelling and grammar I about hyperventilate. Most of these messages are typed out so fast and in between files, that it is how it is. Give people a break and remember people in glass houses should not throw stones. Have a good day. Bet it makes you feel superior to be the first one that posted and pick apart her message.
By the way I have only used Stedmans and love it.
You know what will happen if we all quit
There will have to be money coming from somewhere to replace the tax revenue lost if all of us wicked smokers just up and quit (or died, whichever!). They already decided we could do without the transfats and took those away from our McFrys; Salmonella risk caused many places to get rid of genuine cesar salads because of the raw eggs; and some places have banned pate. They may start slowly hitting the US consumer with a Twinkie tax- $1/pack, $10/carton. Those McFrys, even without the transfat we knew and loved) will have a $0.10 surcharge each (eek, I can't afford to supersize anymore), and I'm afraid that it will take a mortgage if I want to get that Chantilly Lace cake from the bakery.
Fat people and smokers- the last two groups that it's okay to make fun of in this country, and dang if I ain't both!
How come she quit this one? I miss her, too. -nm
