  Now today, it's the Darth Vader Theme. Over and over again.

  Maybe it's because I got a bit of a cold and I'm wheezing a little. Hmmmmm.

  I enjoy lurking at these two sites.

  For retail workers. http://www.customerssuck.com/forums/index.php This place shows how mean and unreasonable customers can be to retail workers.

  Then, there's http://www.planetfeedback.com/ this is where customers can write to companies on how mean and unreasonable the customer service reps can be.

  Some of the posts and letters on each are just hilarious and shows how life is on both sides of the counter.

  a letter was read this week at the philadelphia area kingdom halls that this year's district convention will be held in norphilly (north philly) at the liacouras center (temple university's indoor arena).

  this is the first time the philadelphia district convention will be held indoors.

  here's what people will miss at the vet (feel free to add to the list): .

  Any poor soul who ever had to endure sitting through a District Assembly at the Vet has already done their time in purgatory.

  Congratulations and I wish you success.

  I quit cigs over 2 years ago. I'm not going to say it's easy. Far from it!!!! But, IT CAN BE DONE.

  A couple of things helped me during the first few months of my quit. The first thing I would like to suggest to you is to download a "quit meter". These meters keep track of how many cigs you would have smoked, money saved, ect. Then, you can post nifty stats on your quit like this.

  Two years, two months, one week, 14 hours, 31 minutes and 3 seconds. 25555 cigarettes not smoked, saving $4,472.42. Life saved: 12 weeks, 4 days, 17 hours, 35 minutes. (These are my stats).

  Also, a support group is helpful. My support group was/is the newsgroup alt.support.stop-smoking. Here is a web link to the newsgroup's FAQ.
  http://www.swen.uwaterloo.ca/~as3/faq/faqpart1.html

  This is a place where one can go for support, especially during a severe nic fit.

  I hope you hang in there, and if you get the meter, please post your quit stats.

  Take care,

  El K

  My Message To You

  by OrbitingTheSun in

  to many people, the new year symbolizes hope--a chance to cast away that which has bothered us, and to cultivate all of the things we have dreamt about throughout the year (but never found the energy to do).

  i both believe in and love the spirit of the new year, but it is vital for us to remember that the hope we feel now is merely the result of a collective belief in ourselves and in each other.

  there is no more opportunity on january 1st than there is on any other day of the year, yet we feel inspired and motivated to change our lives.
