Quit smoking about 6 years ago. Used the patch to get over the cravings. It worked quite well for me. You just have to keep yourself occupied and keep your mind off of it. Give your hands something to do when you think about smoking. Its hard, very hard, and you can only do it when the time is right for you - but if you can make it past those first 2 weeks, you're golden.

Good Luck!

Pardon my frank language, but if that space cadet didn't have the courtesy to tell you before she told all of her friends, good riddance. This is a good thing, even though it doesn't feel that way now. There's millions of other girls, and some of them are normal.

Hang in there! Other doors are opening.

Next day, she hit for 450.00 more! We had a great time and actually saved most of the money (because I am furloughed and waiting for the UI to start). Headed home and got stuck in ATL (which is ALWAYS the case when I try to nonrev through there!)....but you know what, I got an extra night to spend with the one I love and that was great! Got home.....checked the mail and had a letter for an interview at a place I applied, not flying...but more money (which isnt hard to do on 3rd year FO pay).

All in all...a great week!

What's a DIKFORE?

Good luck with the interview!

or possibly just people that can never see the good in anything. Ever taken the opportunity to stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize things are what they are? Plus when you continue to cry all the time it dilutes the beer that you are drinking. Serioulsy this thread was created for postive things, and apparently you missed that, so do us all a favor and dont post on it again, you can start your own thread called a "negative new day". No hard feelings

BTW it's a boy !

That must be a great feeling. Congratulations on being a grandpa. I know it meant a lot to my dad, his twin brother comitted suicide, and two days later we found out my wife was pregnant with the aforementioned little crawler. It changed his outlook on life for the second time, congrats, and at least its a boy for you, so the shotgun can stay in the safe until the girl comes next

Every day when I get home I am greeted by my three-year-old son running to give me a hug screaming "daddy! daddy!" with my 12-month-old daughter waddling behind him. Life couldn't be better!!!

great thread

Get in the sim late tomorrow night after a four month furlough. Hopefully out on the line by next week.

250, you're stuck in the STL. You know it, love it and can never leave it.
