On Sandwich But Off Topic

i was making a meat loaf sandwich with melted swiss cheese for breakfast this morning.

The mayo looked a little funky on one side so i took a little from the other side and tossed the jar.

well, i got to thinking about how rarely i make a sandwich and the mayo always seems to go bad.

so i'm thinking, "hey, you should get those individual mayo's from a restaurant supply"

so i'm looking local and national and i find boxes of 200 for $8-$13 but with the shipping, either one costs $23.

so i'm talking with a friend today and she says just to ask for them at restaurants and take them home.

i had a vision of me driving into mcd's and ordering 6 burgers with two extra mayos for each on the side

then driving up to the payment window and the cashier looking at me driving with my belly and saying

"is that what did it? the mayonnaise?"

and then driving forward to the pickup window and being denied my mayo.

evidently there was a buzz between payment and pickup and they now knew of my hitting all the mcd's in the area and wiping out their mayonnaise supplies.

don't smoke over this ok?

it was just a condiment nightmare

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
