Thanks. Hey, we really need to make this lunch work. I am getting really embarrassed about our lack of showing up. Is that how Cheri's schedule always is? We can very easily change the time. Is there a day that's better for you guys?” 11:01:07 PM 4/14/05 “Ruby it's way past your bedtime. Don't make me get Gemini after you. She's scary if you stay up past your bedtime I hear :D” 11:03:23 PM 4/14/05 according to “Gem's kids, shes scarry all the time. I haven't found that to be true, but I'm not one of her kids.” 11:04:35 PM 4/14/05 “Yeah, on Thursday's Cheri says she can't get away for lunch until 12, her office is in the Santa Fe bldg at 224 S. Mich so figure about an extra 10 minute walk for her to get to the Corner Bakery at Randolph.” 11:05:00 PM 4/14/05 “When's the next after work happy hour get together planned for?” 11:07:28 PM 4/14/05 “DDX, Gem doesn't scare me. She's my special friend. ;o CnC, Now that's what I'm talking about! Happy hour would be way more fun than lunch. Let's plan that instead.” 11:09:38 PM 4/14/05 “LOL, you'll have to watch out for Cheri if the mood hits her happy hour can easily turn into happy evening!” 11:14:24 PM 4/14/05 “Sounds good to me. Every other weekend, I don't have a curfew.” 11:18:52 PM 4/14/05 “We're lucky that we are now "empty nesters" so no more kid-imposed curfews!” 11:24:22 PM 4/14/05 “it's always nice to see empty-nesters taking advantage of their place in life like you guys seem to do rather than just sit at home.” 11:27:02 PM 4/14/05 “lol, that's the only advantage of having kids young, you become empty nesters while you're still young enough (41 and 42 in our case) to enjoy life.” 11:28:39 PM 4/14/05 “Cheri wants to know if you ever went and mixed that screwdriver?” 11:30:33 PM 4/14/05 “I sure did. It's nearly gone!!! On the happy hour idea, WoundedKnee (Brian) does some mean karoake. (not for me, but I'll watch). I think the first Friday of every month at the Alumni Club on Randolph and Michigan has karoake happy hour.” 11:37:19 PM 4/14/05 “The Alumni Club works great for us since we catch the Southshore anyway. Like you we don't perform (one nightmarish memory of an attempt at it during my army days at a german nightclub still haunts me) but will gladly watch. What 1st Friday do you have in mind? Cheri just went and grabbed us each another beer so you better mix one more of those screwdrivers..:) last edited: 4/14/05 11:44:34 PM” 11:43:36 PM 4/14/05 “perhaps the next one? May 6 Unless it interferes with backpacking of course.” 11:44:47 PM 4/14/05 “The next bping trip we have planned is for May 7-8th but Friday night should still be fine.” 11:48:24 PM 4/14/05 “let's keep that in mind then. Jon will be home around then hopefully. If that doesn't work, I think there are a few other bars in Chicago. ;)” 11:50:21 PM 4/14/05 “lol, at least one or two to choose from! Is Jon back on leave or end of tour? Either way please pass on a big thank you to him for his service and let him know that if he enjoys sailing you guys are more than welcome to come out for a sail with us in Michigan City (and subsequent dock party). ps. Your expertise with the body shots would make you fit in real well with the wifes/gf that are usually at the dock parties..:) last edited: 4/14/05 11:59:11 PM” 11:57:20 PM 4/14/05 “LOL!!! Oh boy. More body shots. :) He will be home on a 2-week leave. Then he'll be home for good at the end of July. I cannot wait.” 12:09:43 AM 4/15/05 “Not long to wait now (for both his leave and end of rotation). Is he a backpacker also?” 12:13:11 AM 4/15/05 “I'm trying. He is hesitant to carry a "ruck" for the hell of it.” 12:22:20 AM 4/15/05 “i'm miserable. i started the patch today. guarantee it lasts for like 2 days.” 8:03:01 AM 4/15/05 “hang in there scorch! I had a couple of false starts, i found out that I needed some other goal to work towards to help with the mental aspect. It is astounding how much of the drive is mental. Thats what got me started running.” 8:04:42 AM 4/15/05 “this probably isn't a good time to tell you that I can quit smoking at the drop of a hat?” 8:05:33 AM 4/15/05 “like every night before you go to bed? seeyall, I'm off to work!” 8:07:26 AM 4/15/05 “I can quit any day I choose. I quit about a month ago. I may pick it back up again at traildays though, because if I have a beer in my hand its tough not to have a cigerette in the other.” 8:29:17 AM 4/15/05 Scorch... “..good luck! I just got done with a homevisit from hell...feel like I need to delouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 9:21:57 AM 4/15/05 “thanks for the good lucks.... trust me, i'll need it. the cravings aren't too bad for me today... YET. home visit from hell? i'm sorry to hear that :( i'm taking 3 of my clients to a movie today.... it's gonna be an easy friday! we're seeing Fever Pitch with drew barrymore and jimmy fallon. woohoo! it looks cute. i feel like #&%!$ today though so i had to make it an easy day. damn cough.” 11:09:19 AM 4/15/05 “Scorch, the lozenge has worked pretty well for me, it's expensive, and if you don't want to get hiccups and heartburn you have to spit like you're dipping. But it's working.” 11:10:49 AM 4/15/05 “chew a lot of gun and keep a pencil in your hand to twirl or something just to keep your fingers busy” 11:14:27 AM 4/15/05 “Chew a lot of gun? Geez, she's gonna have enough problems with nicotine withdrawl without you suggesting suicide hyway!” 11:15:22 AM 4/15/05 “i was thinking she could gnaw away her tension on the barrel, then eat the grip for dessert” 11:17:04 AM 4/15/05 “mmm guns,... yummy! lozenges available at any drug store i'm assuming? pricey? i've done great... today was my first day and every now and then i got the cravings, but overall, not too bad. tomorrow's a new day.” 10:31:49 PM 4/15/05 “as god as your witness...?” 10:43:46 PM 4/15/05 “smoke free for 2 days now” 11:52:24 PM 4/16/05 “Congrats!! Keep it up, you'll soon be over the physical craving part (if you haven't gotten there)” 11:57:31 PM 4/16/05 “well i'm on the patch. i tried the cold turkey thing before and it didn't last very long so i need a little help. then i'll start weaning myself off the patch. if it takes a few months then it takes a few months. anything to stop this nasty habit.” 12:09:48 AM 4/17/05 “i tried the patch and it made me so sick” 12:10:57 AM 4/17/05 “i did it a couple summers ago with the patch. it lasted 3 months before i started smoking again, but i went off the patch prematurely. i think if i stayed on it the full amt of time i would have stuck with it. i also take the patch off a couple hrs before i head to bed because last time it gave me awful nightmares where i'd wake up shaking when i left it on overnight. scary #&%!$.” 12:12:33 AM 4/17/05 sup... “y'all” 8:25:06 PM 4/18/05 “Cough, cough, I'm sick :( you might wanna get out of here before you catch somethin' Actually I'm not coughin' I'm extremely achy...” 8:28:16 PM 4/18/05 “don't go contaminating the thread!!!!” 8:31:36 PM 4/18/05 “going on my 5th day of not smoking.... the patch is starting to make me feel sick so i'm going patchless today. which isn't gonna be so bad considering i only wore it half a day yesterday and not at all the day before.” 8:43:21 AM 4/19/05 ““going on my 5th day of not smoking.... Congrats. Best of luck to you.” 8:44:33 AM 4/19/05 “good goin Scorch! You could try dropping down a level on the patch if the cravings are bad.” 8:45:21 AM 4/19/05 “is it supposed to make ya feel sick? You're making me want to quit.” 8:45:30 AM 4/19/05 “it made me feel really sick. i took it off this morning and actually haven't had a craving for a cigarette hardly at all... which is odd for me, but still, i'm not complaining!” 5:53:16 PM 4/19/05 “Hmmm... I haven't had a craving for one all day today either.” 5:54:52 PM 4/19/05 “the patch never made me feel ill at all. Scorchy must be a wimp...” 6:00:02 PM 4/19/05 “: P” 6:02:46 PM 4/19/05 Jump to Page << prev
