Good morning y'all....

Get yer sunblock on today...and the rest of the week as for that matter...uv a&b rays are at an all time high this year.  Something about the earth's magnetic field that has been measured for the last 100 or so years now.  Apparently, when the earth's magnetic aura is low (we are approaching it's lowest level of a 12 year cycling period)...then the Sun's uv a&b rays are most high.  The scientists have built some very high-tech digislators that are capable of being within just a few nanobytes of accuracy.  According to their readings now...we are basically screwed without protection.  I'm just saying...

After all, we are all here trying to extend our higher quality of life and good health, starting with smoking.  A proactive move that your dear ole "Pops" is rocking 11 days today!!! Yeah to me, and to all of you who are doing this as well....

It's Monday morning, and I saw one of my newest leaders walking in the hallway.  I greeted him a good morning and customary, "how are you doing this morning?"  He replied, "well...as good as can be expected for a Monday morning...I guess...", as he sighed.  I chuckled, and said, "I like to look at Mondays differently these days...I think to myself, just look at all of the problems that I have an opportunity to solve by this Friday."  BOOM! How is that for impressing the new boss?!!!  Pops welcome wagon is rolling nicely this morning.

My chi is in sync with my bios, and now I have to get busy on finalizing these contracts on my desk.  I will check back in later this morning...In the meantime...have a great smokefree day.

Pops with 11 Days of Freedom...Woo Hoo!!!!!

p.s. I'm thinking that I am going to head out to "Put In Bay" when I'm out in Ohio during the 4th of July week...

Hi, and thanks for stopping by to read my page....My name is Ken Bishop...aka, Pops. I am a stubborn older addict of nicotine....I have quit on numerous occasions in the past, and have experienced great rewards as a direct result of not ingesting deadly toxins into my bloodstream. One of the curses of having a strong constitution that seems to be able to withstand much more than others can...is this...my body would still be able to move around, and get things accomplished even after I was poisoned by the harmful effects of nicotine addiction. Eventually, the harm became so significant, that not even I, with all of my denial...could avoid the truth that to continue to smoke, would most assuredly be the death of me, and in short order as well. On Sept 1st, of 2018...I found myself in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse, and came very near death. I quit messing around, and had a deep and moving spiritual encounter, and have remained sober without one single urge to pick up a drink since. That was after consuming copious amounts of booze for many years in the past. After a short while.. I asked for spiritual help from my creator to make it possible for me to get the same amount of conviction towards finally being able to successfully put down nicotine once and for all...As of....(September 14th, 2019)...I have 17 days of living smokefree! Woo Hoo!!! Friends and family are all very proud and happy for me. They have asked me what I thought was the turning point, after having experienced so many failed attempts before. I simply reply, "I took the God Shot". xoxoxo Pops update: in Dec of 19 when the stock market started going nuts...I used that as an excuse to start smoking again. I see-sawed back and forth for severa months, and when the COVID crisis hit, I simply lost all desire to be smokefree...I was going to smoke & that was final. Well, as always...the pains of excessive injestion of nicotine into my blood stream...(one puff is all it takes) started affecting my everyday life again...I knew I had to quit placating my inner child and grow up and accept a life without nicotine. The normal person would read this and say well duh...finally he's getting it. But the normally addicted nicotine addict would understand...weird huh? So now I'm back with a new quit date of July 8th, 2020 & am hoping that I can accept that as a perfect quit date that does not need to be changed. Thanks for reading and good luck to you in your quit journey. Pops w 4 DOF!
