Hi everyone. Happy Valentines to all. I so miss being able to get on line more. Well I finally got the landlord to court. I thought I did well alone,can't afford a lawyer-seriously think they make a mess out of words,twist them right around quick. But he didn't know I have a big back bone instead of that measly chicken bone.lol So listen to this..... Second time in court Landlord was not there but his ash of a lawyer said he had to be dismissed because lack of funds and communication. I was on top of the world then.....I told the judge that he doesn't pay his bills,complete know it all until he met me.hee hee soooo true my friends. But every day when I'm in my wonderful shower just makes me value thelittle things we take advantage of..... Where I'm staying which is my home town.(this could be good but I check before entering the store) disfuction for sure in my family.) ok. When I moved in my new place we rent a room and share the kitchen, I have the whole upstairs and my own bath. Starting to feel like a queen :).palace or not. I have missed all tremendously..... I have been tested to the max-the couple smoked in room across from me and it smell so toxic with both them smoking in a small room.Well they got evicted for doing drugs... wheeeew that would make anybody gag and not want one,so with the stress of moving/court I thought about that nasty cig n wonder if it misses me!!!!I don't miss it at all 436 days of freedom. I feel like i'm a new person every morning I wake up without hacking up a lung. I have gained about 10-15 pounds but who gives a whoot.I'll lose it come warmer weather. So if you are thinking of smoking again DON"T  you can do it. I have faith in all that areon  one day quit or 500. You will feel that what control I(we) us have. It's a wonderful feeling.Ok I love all and sure do miss you. But I can hear all your blogs in my mind and I could and won't ever say I slipped up. How disappointed we(I) would be. I like the feeling of freedom we can do it together. So this witch is off the hill and in good hands now. My ozzy dog loves our new place,I can walk him safely and my brother Mark comes and brings him to run,so he's doing awsome also. Thank you my ex buddies. I'm headed out my car has been running cuz ozzy is in the car with heat. we wont be walking today way toooo cold.my nose hairs are sticking together.lol  Well tooodle dooo Im going to get my warm p j's on and watch a movie. Proud to say that I had my really good buddies hadn't forgot about me. Put a huge smile on my face and my heart warmed right up. P.S. how do you get stale smoke out of a small bedroom? it stinks,pew weeee. Bye for now sending many hugs for my valentines. ~peace n Love~ Deborah..xxoo

So good to hear from you, I know you won't get this until the next time you are able to get on line but it is wonderful to know that you are doing so well.  You deserve it, Deborah.  I think the only way to get stale smoke smell out is to paint...not sure that's possible but I honestly don't know another way.  It DOES smell horrible.  You could try Febreze on fabrics...do keep in touch when you can.  You are a WARRIOR!

So happy to see you, and happier still to hear how well you are doing!  I have worried about you so!

Re:  the stinky room.  If you are able, you need to wash any fabric that's in there (curtains, etc.) shampoo any furniture and try washing the walls.  If that doesn't do it, you WILL have to paint.  Can you leave a window open in there without freezing any pipes???  They say slices of apple under  the seat in your car works --- I'd also try slicing up an entire applie and leaving that in there awhile - maybe on a windowstill, in a closet, etc.? 

I am so happy you are in a safe place!

Thank you for visiting.  I truly enjoyed it.  Hope you get the opporunity to visit more often to share your adventures.  I have some concoctions that work.  1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid mix in spray bottle have at it. If that is not enough add a 2-3 caps of pinesol or 1-2 caps of concentrated lysol. Spray let soak, rinse.or wipe.  Works everytime.  Cleans everything and smells good. Kills odors Hope you try it.

Good for you Hamptons, you sound terrific! Come back as often as you are able! I am glad things are better for you! It will take work and some pretty funny concockshuns but you will be able to get it smelling better! I smoked in my house and so did all my visitors! When I quit I needed the distraction.When I walk in from outsideit doesn't smell like a dirty ashtray anymore! Congratulations on your fantastic quit! Happy Valentines Days!

I Won't Quit on my Quit!

So happy that things are looking up for you!  Yep, I am working on getting my 10-15 extra pounds off - started my healthy eating plan a week ago.  My goal is to get it off by Memorial Day!  Keep in touch when you can - We miss you!

That's grand, Deborah!

Sometimes it just takes True Grit to protect our rights!

You did it!

Here's an article I wrote about that nasty smell:

Hope it helps!

And I hope you can find a way to visit with us more often!
