uh, I came here to post something simple-talking to my mom on the phone makes me feel like smoking. I dont even know why, therapy was just begining to scratch the surface of that, when the program was over. My mom has always been here for me, and I have friends who's mothers are no longer with us in this world. So I am so lucky. My mom is really a good person, does'n't lie, isn't mean. I just...don't know. She always has to have the last word, and seems to view conversation as a competiton. Idk. 

I came here to say that, I"m glad I know this,and sitting in front of the computer as i have for most of the day also makes me feel like smoking. But luckily I know this and took a few deep breaths,and came here. 

I saw an interesting post about lies the nicodemon tells us and responses to them. But no sooner did I try and make a comment on another post, it drifted down the cue. So I waited the prescribed time to go to the next page, THIS IS WHAT I WISH-I WISH THIS SITE WOULD RETURN TO THE PAGE YOU WERE ON, IF YOU DECIDE TO READ THE -MORE.... BECAUSE IT TAKES SO DARN LONG TO GO TO ANOTHER PAGE. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GROOVY IF THERE WAS AN OPTION RIGHT UNDER INBOX AND MESSAGES, THE OPTION WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE-POSTS YOU RECENTLY COMMENTED ON. THIS WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER KEY WORDS OR GO BACK PAGES , OR REMEMBER WHAT FRIEND IT WAS ON, OR SCROLL DOWN YOU VARIOUS ACTIVITY TO SEE A POST YOU RECENTLY WERE FOLLOWING. JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS. SHRUG. 

But I didnt' smoke, I took some deep breaths, and I guess I will have to wait until tommorrow to read the post I was looking for, cause I simply can not sit in front of this pc another moment today. 

I have been quit for 2 Months, 4 Weeks, 2 Days, 8 hours, 54 minutes and 12 seconds (91 days). I have saved $593.90 by not smoking 1,827 cigarettes. I have saved 6 Days, 8 hours and 15 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 10/9/2011 10:47 AM

Hey Melissa, good to hear from you.  hang in here.  The good stuff will get better and the not so good stuff will generally get better too.

Hi Melissa, I just lay the phone down and scream into a pillow, then come back. Your idea to take deep breaths sounds good too. : )

You are doing amazing with your quit btw.

Hahaha!  Ya know Melissa, we must be sisters because I have the SAME MOM!!!  They mean well.  We just have to love them through it and drink a big glass of water when we hang up and understand that they aren't going to change so our attitudes have to.  It's ok, they aren't around forever so be greatful for the time you have with her.  Hey, if you responded to a blog it should show up in the "activity" box on your page.  Do you not see it?  Or were you just perusing through blogs?  This site is hard to get used to.  I'm not really fond of it at all.  Hang in there!!!  Deep breaths are THE BEST!!!!  🙂 Especially when you don't cough right after them!

LOL, scream into the pillow! lol. When I was a teenager, I would just turn the music up loud. Yeah....she is really a good person. Oh well. Yep gotta love em, what else can you do. 

And Cyn, yes...my son is 16 so he thinks everything I do is stupid. But the expression -the way to a mans heart is through his stomach does still fit, because he loves to eat, and can not seem to learn to cook. Hahaha.

What I meant  is that it would say that you have a new comment on the blog,  or that someone has commented, so that we dont have to go looking at posts that have no new activity. Or so that we know that somone commented later, for instance, how many of the people that commented on this post know I put this at the end of it. 

Sometimes useful information gets lost this way. shrug.
