One can never have too many pens or office supplies! I could spend a week in Office Depot and the pen aisle of craft stores. I actually cried when my husband got me a huge pack of multi-colored, fine tipped Sharpies for my birthday a few years ago. They were glorious.
I smoked for 30 years and I found that the only thing that helped me quit was Chantix. I've tried everything but nothing else helped. It is expensive and it does have side effects but it worked for me. My insurance helped me pay for it and I did not mind the side effects. It was almost easy.One can never have too many pens or office supplies! I could spend a week in Office Depot and the pen aisle of craft stores.

My answer is not pens. Never!I severely downsized all my belongings about 5 years ago (I regret it now), so I don't have a whole lot of any one item anymore. So, I'm going to go with cigarette butts in my ashtray. I'm back up to a pack a day, some days a little more than, and I am really starting to feel the effects on my body. I'm 41 and have been smoking since I was 13. I need to quit. I'm a recovering addict (10 years clean), and quitting smoking is the hardest thing I've ever attempted.
Wow, you quit 20 years ago and you still miss smoking? This Thanksgiving will be 3 years for me and I still miss smoking. When Muffin died I was driving home from the vet and I wanted a cigarette so bad. I would have stopped for a pack but I was crying so bad I was too embarrassed to stop. That was closest I ever came to starting again.
Love pens! Pens of all colors, shapes, and sizes! I probably have way too many ink pens, too! There are times when I'll go into Staples and walk out with nothing but pens. Just so I can write like this.
Oh yeah. There are days when I would kill for one cigarette, usually when I'm having a horrible day at work or things aren't going right at home. It's something that doesn't really ever go away for me, although I've talked to people who quit and say that they don't miss it and that now even the smell makes them sick. Before they made the bowling alley non-smoking, Rick would come from bowling smelling like an ash tray. That I didn't like. And when my smoking co-worker comes back inside, I can always tell that he's been smoking, simply when he walks by my cube. Now that I know how I smelled, I wouldn't start in again. I think they were 40 cents a pack when I started, around 1975, I think. I was probably around 20, smoked for 20 years, and quit when I was 40....so I've been smoke-free now for over 20 years. But yeah, I miss it. A lot sometimes.
My MIL smoked for a long time and then quit. She got her nursing degree when DH was in his mid 20's. She got a job at a local hospital in the ER. Guess what happened? Going outside on breaks with the other nurses and the doctors got her smoking again. She used to bust DH's chops all the time for smoking. She smokes more than he ever did- still to this day and she hasn't worked in nursing in about 15 years because of an on the job injury. Working in a hospital got her smoking again. She had been off them about 20 years. :rolleyes2:jaw: *gasp* Is that even possible???

Me, too! We used to do a lot more entertaining than we do now--I have way too many champagne flutes (mimosas at brunch, of course!), drinking glasses, silverware, all kinds of serving dishes.
Oh yea, glassware also. I have way too many nice champagne glasses. If we use one pair a year, at New Year's, that's a lot.
Smoking is the WORST thing a woman can do for her health. Please stop!
I did the exact same thing. I was so disgusted with myself because I was trying to quit for the 2nd time. One morning I woke up after smoking the night before & I quit right then & there & never started again. Never wanted to either. Took me 2 years to quit, but it's one of the things I am most proud of doing in my life.
