MDavidSteel 15 Posted March 1, 2017 i am going without all things chocolate. i wonder how i manage. prior to just now, i did go without pizza and today will have my first in 28 days, so im not bad at avoiding a specific thing if i really make the effort i wonder btw where the term cold turkey came from i would guess its a sort of comparison in how hard it is to give up something really addictive - like trying to eat a bird that hasn't been cooked:P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I raised my kids - the oldest is almost 30 now - and I thought my days of 4am were gone. Then my cocker spaniel decided to get old and senile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,611 Posted February 13, 2018 Looking back, it appears I was giving up smoking last year, and not only that, I was going to let you know how I got on. I lasted 6 days. I crumbled on the 7th day when my boss phoned me. Anyway, this year, I'm giving up gravy optimism. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The English language word "pedant" comes from the French pédant (used in 1566 in Darme & Hatzfeldster's Dictionnaire général de la langue française) or its older mid-15th century Italian source pedante, "teacher, schoolmaster". Cheers for the approbation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted February 14, 2018 Well, while I won’t completely stop posting, I definitely feel like that I need to limit my own posting for lent (and in general). I know for me this will be a very difficult task, however, as every time I post something it gives me a brief relief to my anxiety... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
