RE: Quitting smoking.

The ideal way to quitting cigarette's(or any other habit) is not just the desire to want to give up,but to be ready to give up.

To that end,you not only have to have strong will power but you have to convince your body that it doesn't need the addiction,because it is both a psychological and physical addiction.

HOW you do that is down to your own personal attitude and lifestyle.

And,yes,I speak from experience. I used to smoke three packs of fifties a day!!!!

@ Glitz Man-I can probably make one more. But I'm running out of the more natural word titles. Searching, which I've used already, is used in a regular sentence. Opposed to the other titles that just stick out like a sore thumb and are easy to find. What's the last time you used Trundrumbalind or The Souls Of Distortion in a regular sentence? lol I mean, really? But if I brainstorm a little, I can think of a mysterious topic that is worth expanding on. Or as I did last time, a quandary.

Joe, I'm a USAF Captain stationed in Italy (Aviano Air Base) and a huge fan. You are coming to Padova, Italy in November and I would like to invite you to the Base, and to my Aircraft Maintenance Unit to meet and Greet our Airmen stationed overseas in United States Air Forces Europe.

We have the USO come to us from time to time, but nothing like you. If you can make the trip from Padova to Aviano (about an hour and a half drive) I can assure you a good time with Great Americans that love your music.

You would be meeting some airmen that recently came back from deployment, and my airmen that I am preparing to go soon. You would be making a huge impact on many Airmen's lives. I would just need a Point of Contact to set up the arrangements.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update. Yesterdsay I went to the Yankees game!! Great time. My essay is doing better than before. And lastly, I am listning to Flo Rida- Low, love the beat... and the song. Not as much or even close to Joe!!

Keep at it Scuba, wish u success.

Scubz, okay, if saving the money isn't an issue, give what you don't spend on smokes to me :-)

Great White. Another good beat - Don't Touch Me Travis Barker Remix. Travis Barker & DJ AM (RIP) Fix Your Face. The ultimate beat - Godsmack, and something new I can't get out of my head - Woo Boost remix. Let's bounce!

wolf, yer a laugh riot sometimes!

Freak storm in Pori Finland injures 40 ppl and destroys Motley Crue's equipment & the stage. That's sucks!

Michelle,

Thx for the tips on the YouTube vids. Love them. My fav is the Woo Boost

Hi Everyone:

Here's the result from the 10K Run yesterday: 8th out of about 120; 3rd in my Age Division; Time: 37 minutes and 30 seconds. My fastest 10K ever! YEAH BABY! X-D

Axeshredderjc: Thanks for the praise. How's the JS2400 going for you? \m/

Oxley11: Just do the best you can on your creative "Joe songs" summary.

scubadaz: Good luck on quitting smoking. I know a couple of folks who are trying to quit and I made a deal with them. The deal was that I would run a marathon and if I finish (without stopping), they would quit smoking and start getting fit. I have already done two marathons and I have never stopped, but unfortunately, the folks did not quit so that's bad for them on not living up to their part/baragain.

goatbrother70 - you never know, Joe might just do that for you, best of luck.

elpp - yeah I'm interested in Iron Maiden's tour, the Showgrounds here in Melbourne is a terrible venue though. Will see what happens.

Glitzy - well done great run there buddy!!! You just keep getting faster and doing better!

Scuba - I know you didn't ask for advice but can't help myself :) - good on you for giving up smoking you'll live a lot longer for sure and be wealthier. You know that there is a more powerful tool than willpower? It's actually your imagination. Imagination is far stronger than willpower, which is why people struggle with giving up habits like smoking by trying to use willpower. They imagine themselves having a smoke, or still see themselves as smokers who are just temporarily trying not to smoke, and sooner or later it gets them.

So you use imagination to your own advantage. When you decide to quit, if you immediately only think of yourself as a nonsmoker for the rest of your life (not someone who just isn't smoking right now) then you will more than likely have a greater chance of staying that way.

It's sorta like, "why would I have a smoke when I'm a non-smoker? Non-smokers don't smoke, so that's me too. I do what other non-smokers do." When you feel a bit lost about not having a ciggy in your hand, you just look at the nearest non-smoker and copy what they are doing, cos that's what you do when you're a non-smoker.

If you try to just will yourself not to smoke, in the end your imagination will play so many images in your mind about picking one up, lighting it, holding it and drawing in the smoke and enjoyig the feeling, that it's very hard to beat.

Hope that helps a bit. It's worth a try, right? And yes, I used to smoke, in my 20's :0)

Happy week everybody!

Joe - any blue for us buddy????

Michelle--The 15th and sometime in the 1960s? That means you could be 10 or more years younger than this old woman! Wadda ya know!?! :-)

Al--How would PA Michelle and Cali Milli get together to celebrate birthdays together when we live almost 3,000 miles apart??? I'm tethered to a Library that needs me to keep books, CDs and DVDs on their shelves and can't take more than 2 days off fer me birhday.......My Steve and a few friends and relatives are gonna help me celebrate. They want me to get out and see the stars at night to help me keep a perspective on life. Also, my Steve wants to have some feline friends drop into our back yard to get their fill of catnip. The friend from Sandy Cruz says it's contributing to the deliquency of a feline.....:-0 Wow! Imagine that! lmao! I just love them cute, furry critters!

Hello DONKEY, I guess the male tackling is so very important to protect........avoid trips to the tackling doctor! :-)

GG2, I'll be 46. I wonder when I'll get to that number that I'll be dreading that age? Don't think that'll ever happen though. It's all gravy IMO. No use in bitchin' about it. Either you add a number or you don't. I'd rather keep adding, thank you very much. lol! It really cracks me up when somebody younger than me busts on me for being old. WTF do you think is coming to you? lol! Ahhh, the ignorance of the young. lmao!! Growing older is cool. All the aches and pains...not so much. LOL! I'm just sayin'....
