For no driving reason at the time, 15 weeks ago I quit smoking. It's been a roller coaster ride since then, some highs, some lows so I'll tell you I'm not really sure what's the big deal here.

As far as the smoking is concerned, I'm good. Our trip to NY ended on Wednesday, last week and our drive back to Florida was pretty nice.

Hello my friends at GUS .. I am still not smoking. I am here to say that it gets easier even though certain times the urge is strong, it dissipates after a bit, crawls back into it's hole and waits for another opportunity to rear it's ugly head.

There's another name for it, it's not "Murphy's Law" it's something else that kicks in when you are trying to accomplish something big, life changing, and it something that resembles a brick wall that keeps popping up in front of you as you move along in your plight.

I was browsing through some of the comments on today's diary for Gus and the the Diary itself and I realized, not for the first time in my life that I am not very self aware..

I know there's a group on here that deals with the likes of me as a recent quitter and if you are out there "Help me, please"

I don't have one anymore. Do you? I've been thinking about this issue since last night and it's probably too late for all of us, but does anyone remember having an open mind. I mean the ability to hear another point of view unlike your own?

This is news to me, that certain family members have expressed their concern regarding the Obama administration having tripled the deficit in the last 3 months. One of these people has been "twitting" as I call it and has a small following regarding his expertise on the Koran?, stating the Muslims intend to kill all infidels at the end of the day

I'm trying my hardest to believe that the future cuts being made regarding Americans needing to tighten up their belts and start to make the big sacrifice for the good of the country does not include a reduction in my pittance of a social security check.

Slowly but surely, change is not coming to the poor, the unemployed and the shrinking middle class. This is a rant... continue at your own risk
