...when the site was so buggy this morning to see if this website was working for her.

I emailed management twice with screenshots but maybe this is their day off?   

      I've gotta make some spaghetti sauce in the morning

I made 4 jars 2 weeks ago and usually, I can put my sauce back in their jars hot, When it cools it makes a seal and doesn't go bad sitting on the shelf. I thought it was from the acid in the tomato and the heat making a vacuum seal.

      I went to heat some and hour ago and there was no "pop" when I opened one. 

      No POP from all three jars. I had to throw them.

      I don't feel up to food poisoning right now.

      

      NO POP???  Maybe the sauce wasn't hot enough when I put it in?

      This time I'll plan to refrigerate or freeze the leftovers,

Live and learn

not to burn

Cigarettes Cigarettes

and freeze or refrigerate sauce.

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.
