how y'all doing on your new years resolutions so far?

Modat22 · January 04, 2006, 07:57:31 PM

I'm on day 3 of the quit smoking thing. I have to tell you that these patches I'm using work great except for the really weird dreams.

I dreamed that I made an anti-gravity drive from plastic wrap and a TV last night. Honest.

crtreedude · January 04, 2006, 08:02:36 PM

Well, did you try it after you woke up? ???

Started bike riding, hiking, losing weight - and got Harold tucked away at finca #2.

Not bad for a start.

Modat22 · January 04, 2006, 08:15:37 PM

nah, I didn't try building the drive, I'm so tired today that I actually called in sick and stayed in bed. I'm ether catching the flu or my patches are making me sick.

Good job on the bike riding!

Paul_H · January 04, 2006, 08:16:17 PM

Modat22,
try to enjoy your "patch dreams" they're a bonus 8)

Congrats on day 3,keep it up!

JJackson · January 04, 2006, 08:21:22 PM

Been doing well myself but not as great as I had hopped.

isawlogs · January 04, 2006, 08:24:39 PM

Is there a patch for FOOD? :D

Part_Timer · January 04, 2006, 08:29:51 PM

I actually made it out of the grocery this morning with out buying any of the fresh baked doughnuts. Man that smelled so good. I aint going in there in the morning again. NEVER
See my resolution is to eat a bit more fruit and a few less baked goods. So far so good.

UNCLEBUCK · January 04, 2006, 08:33:58 PM

at 11:59 tonight it will be 4 full days . I made it this far with no problems but I am thinkin tonight I might break down and be my old self again . I think I like me just the way I was with bib overalls and a round tin box wearing through the front pocket. I feel hollow and empty and boring . Those patches sound like a real ride on the tilt-a-whirl . :

Paschale · January 04, 2006, 08:37:53 PM

hang on there, UncleBuck...ya gotta think down the road...a year from now, this is going to be a distant memory! 8)

Hey now...you certainly ain't hollow, empty or boring...and that round tin box wearing through your shirt ain't gonna do anything to fill ya up either!

Keep on Keeping On, Unc...we're all behind ya...and Modat too...and all the rest of ya! 8)

Paul_H · January 04, 2006, 08:38:36 PM

Uncle,
don't let that dirty lying scumbag Nick O'teen fool you into thinking that tobacco makes you who you are.You were you before you started the habit and you will be you long afterward.

Pic up some patches tomorrow and go for a ride!

Part_Timer · January 04, 2006, 08:39:48 PM

UncleBuck

Hold on there ya made it this far. Why give up the last 4 days ???

If ya need something to keep your mind off of it you can come out and help with the new cabinets for the shop. :D :D :D :D

Hold on till tomorrow and think it over tonight. Then call the house and we'll see if I can convince you otherwise.

TOm

crtreedude · January 04, 2006, 08:42:15 PM

UncleBuck,

Come on, a little nickotine withdrawl will make you even more interesting! I know when I quit smoking I was so interesting that people were running for cover... ;D

Hang in there - one thing that always helped me was to get active - burn it out of your system.

If you'll give up quitting that chew so easily, I'll come down there and kick your butt! I can be there in 2 hours if I need to. If I need to be there sooner, I'll send my BIL that lives closer. He's 6'5", around 300 pounds and I'm pretty sure he can fill my place.

UNCLEBUCK · January 04, 2006, 08:52:05 PM

I forgot about those patch things but they sound funtastic . Thanks Paschale and Paul_H , I had my Copland Classics cd on all day in the woodshop then got sick of that and turned on talk radio until they ticked me off and then I just finally had to get out of the shop before the walls all closed in on me . So I went outside and slipped on the ice . I am glad to hear everyone is hangin in there . Sounds like Harold is in good hands dont it . If I fail I will try again next year but I cant seem to think straight the last 4 days.

Modat22 · January 04, 2006, 08:54:48 PM

try the patch uncklebuck, They do help.

But if you chew or snuff you might wanna try the 14 mg day patch unstead of the 21 mg patch.

Jeff · January 04, 2006, 08:55:22 PM

I'm doing good. I have not changed my forum name yet this year. Its been rough, but I'm hanging in there. 8)

crtreedude · January 04, 2006, 08:56:19 PM

UncleBuck - something that helped me quit smoking once and for all (aside from my future wife telling me I didn't have the will power to do it) was to decide that I had quit, and if I slipped, I had to start all over again, IMMEDIATELY.

I figured every year with those coffin nails was another year I was hurting myself.

Regarding Harold - Hector was over that way checking on him today - I'll be there Friday. So far, there hasn't been any reports of of strange occurances in the paper...

Cranky and not thinkin straight,sounds to me like you're on track,don't give up.

UNCLEBUCK · January 04, 2006, 09:01:27 PM

I guess when I am done with my stuff for the day and sit down on the forum here that is when I would really get into the chew. I will think it over and see how I do but I better stay off here for a day . Cant help it . Besides now I have to hide from Mn boy ;D , 6-5" 300 pounds ? Has to be a german because thats way too tall to be norwegian :D

Minnesota_boy · January 04, 2006, 09:03:54 PM

He's half Norwegian and the other half is wild man. ;D

Paul_H · January 04, 2006, 09:08:25 PM

Uff da!

crtreedude · January 04, 2006, 09:09:22 PM

UncleBuck,

Chew Toothpicks, what do you think I have in my mouth right now? It is either that or coffee - and it is a little late for coffee... :

UNCLEBUCK · January 04, 2006, 09:16:08 PM

:D :D :D I go now and I hope everyone is doing good on the resolutions, sure sounds like it ! smiley_turkey_dancing this is how I feel before a patch . I think I will go to walmart tonight in fergus falls and get a shopping cart full of these . Keep up the good dreams Modat and maybe you will dream up a million dollar invention . I cant wait to report about my dream , I never tried a patch before

UNCLEBUCK · January 04, 2006, 09:21:06 PM

thanks cr , yep i gotta put a toothpick in right now, I weigh 354 pounds but am only 4 feet tall so I think I will lock my door before I get invaded by the Bemidji B.I.L. :D :D
