Aurorah  (Is that allowed?)
Gailco...I didn't think of it as a rant and if you took it that way, I apologize. I guess I had just held it back so long I felt I had to say it, even if WAS a long time coming.

Gail...
I've found Roberts to be a very nice and well-meaning man. I'm sure he didn't mean that the way you took it. I think we're all just plain burnt out. At least I am. I need to go to bed.
Nite everyone.

Thanks Toke!
And yeah, I think we all need a break...too early for bed, but maybe a nice long drink and a good book?

Available with champagne (the good stuff) and a toast to a better day tomorrow.
(And just a note, lest you all think I'm a terrible lush! I indulge nightly in virtual alcohol, the real stuff is for weekends. Hey, this is a weekend! Off to get real champagne.  )

Diana - May I share in a glass of bubbly with you? I can't think of anyone I'd rather toast with more! Well, that's not exactly true...I'd like to toast with several people here. The more the merrier when it's with good company!

Gila. did you know that the originator of a thread can request to have it locked? AND... since you started this thread, you can decide to lock it. (hint, hint..)

Okay, how about bed, book and drink?
Roberts, I didn't mean to offend, I just thought things were closing down a bit...but if you had just started reading and got to that point I can see how and why!
So... I think a toast is in order.
Make mine whole wheat! (insert smilie here)

vicki,
I'd be honored to share with you, lovely lady!
(pouring)
Salut!
A toast to the beauty of the gentle fire within you. And the light that it reflects that is hard to look at, sometimes, because it is a mirror in which I see what I should be.
Hugs,
Diana

Better!
We need dragonldy here to tend bar!
But I can summon up a mimosa, for you! A heck of a lot easier than that whole wheat champagne, it is.

Champagne for you tokey, what are you reading?
I've got People Magazine and Reader's Digest to choose from. Not very literary, eh?

Gail, as my kids would say, "No biggie." I had in fact read several pages in a row...I guess it had a cumulative effect on me!
Now for that toast...though I think I'll opt for the liquid kind, and since I can't read in bed (cause I always smoke when I read) I guess I'll actually have to sit up in a chair to do it!
Good thoughts and sweet dreams to you all...

Niiice champagne. This'll get me in shape for the big y2k hangover. I'm reading "Between Husbands and Friends" by Thayer. Sort of Adultury meets Cystic Fibrosis. Reasonably well-written though.

Dave:
Thanks for the tip.
This thread has gotten pretty long. I noticed that the last few posts were very mellow, so it seems like a good note to end on. Since it’s another first, I think I’ll check with AW folks first.
Cheers to all.
Gila

Gila - Oh, no! Please don't shut us down! We're just now enjoying a fine glass of mild spirits and chat. Some threads go on and on, and only get better! You should have seen Fashion's "List" thread. I really loved that one!

tokey,
Adultery meets cystic fibrosis?! You've got me intrigued, I'll have to read it!
Vicki,
Sorry if I embarrassed you! But you do have an alarming way of making me look inward and want to improve. I love that in a person, I suffer from pride mingled with insecurity. A bizarre combination.
Gila,
Cheers to you, too. You're gonna do just fine here.
(off to play, of all things, quarters with my 8-year old. I'm drinking Merlot, he's drinking Coke. Hope he loses)
CYA!

KatyD,Said qoute, "I can't believe this! After my reply to you, I walked away, had a cup of tea, smoked a cigarette (dang! I have to give those up)and felt so bad about my snide sarcastic response to you, that I came back to apologise to YOU!"
Was it good?

You poor dear! No it wasn't good (not that i am speaking for anyone but myself).
They are nasty things that take my breath away and make my lungs hurt. You made it this far, so hang in there. The worst is over!
Just think about how nice it will be to breath fresh air deep into your lungs again. And taste and smell again.
And when i finally put these killers down, you can help and encourage me! (smile)
Good night to all, I raise my virtual champagne glass in a toast to each of you.
And I wish you all luck, love, peace and joy in this special season.

Wynter: If it's any comfort, my dad gave up a 4 1/2 pack a day habit by quitting cold turkey, so it can be done. of course, my mother said he was hell to live with for a long time after that, so maybe taking it slow is the best way to go after all....
Good luck!!!

Barry, 4 1/2 packs a day! I don't think I breath enough to smoke that many in a day.

Wynter: Well, from what I've been told, he used to keep multiple ones lit at a time, just so he could go from room to room and always have one ready. My mom tells stories of him getting up at 3 AM and having to rush out to the store to buy more.
I should point out, BTW, that 33 years after quitting my dad is still alive. I doubt I would be able to say that had he not quit....
