I remember when my dad tried to quit smoking. He tried doing it cold turkey, tried patches and gum and eventually went on to use a prescription medication from his doctor, which finally worked.
He tried several times before reaching his goal, but his perseverance just shows that whatever youput your mind to you can do. I try explaining this to my friend, as he is trying to quit smoking, but he seems to be falling off track more than he is able to stay on.
He tried everything my dad has with no luck, but I keep pushing him to stop and save his health.
Yesterday I was with him and he showed me an electronic cigarette, which he is now using. It is not intended to help him quit, however, it has it’s benefits like being almost completely odourless, being able to use them in non-smoking areas as well as saving money.
Now, obviously I do not condone smoking but if someone is going to do it I think the safe cigarette is the way to go. Check them out for yourself (if you are a smoker) you just might enjoy them as much as he does.

As of now big and tall mens clothing are easy to come by with sites like Kingsizedirect.com.
Do you know a man who is tall, has broad shoulders, or just simply has a hard time getting clothes to fit him? If so, direct him on over to that website for a great selection of clothes at outstanding prices.
Right now they have a ‘Winter Sneak peak’ which is offering up to 50% off of select clothing on their website. They have outerwear, active wear, shoes, belts, you name it and they probably have it. If money is tight, they also have a clearance centre you can look into purchasing from.
I know specialty clothing is hard to find. Me being a plus sized woman allows me to understand the frustration one can go through when trying to get something that fits them correctly, is not over priced and is actually in style. This website has it all for big anf tall men.
The one thing about my weight is it can be changed if I set my mind to it. For someone that is tall, for example, it’s not an option. I’m thinking about ordering my dad some clothes from this website for Christmas. He struggles a lot with pant sized because of his height. I hope I can manage to put a nice outfit together for him to surprise him.

I know a lot of people practise spring cleaning, which I do but I also tend to de-clutter and clean right after thanksgiving. I like to pack away / donate any old or summer clothes and sort through my daughters toys for ones that she no longer plays with that can be donated or broken ones to be thrown out. This makes things (especially toys) a lot less cluttered coming into the holiday season.
If you have carpets, it’s always a good time for a do it yourself carpet cleaner. The amount of things that can burry deep in your carpets would astound you. Ordinary vacuuming is never enough.
Usually it is at this point and time of the year that I like to wash down my walls or even re-paint them but because I’ve only moved to this house in July and it was all freshly done I don’t think there would be any need of that. It is not as though anyone smokes in here to damage anything but for those that do have smoke damages from fire etc there are options available you can check out this link: http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-restoration-services/smoke-fire.shtml
Once I get the top level of my ouse cleaned and organized it’s on to my basement. The basement is always easier to clean, it’s usually just cluttered.
I know it’s only October but I cannot wait for Halloween / the Holidays. It is by far my fav time of year.

Yes, I said it — Christmas shopping.
I’ve never been one tog et things done for christmas in an orderly time or fashion but this I’ve started early and boy does it seem to be taking quite an amount of stress off of me.
I haven’t been doing too much, but trying to pick up one gift a week seems to be a good start. Next month I need to make a trip out of town for a medical appointment and I plan to do more shopping there because they have bigger stores and more selection to choose from.
Normally I order things online. Just recently I ordered some girls hoodies for my niece, but I honestly like shopping in store better.
As for my daughter, I have no idea what to get her. She’s one of those kids who aren’t exactly spoiled but she doesn’t really *need* anything either. I’ve been looking for educational things for her to help her gain more speach as she is behind.
She has been obsessed with shows like max and ruby, franklin, toopy and binoo, etc so maybe some dvds of those would be nice too.
How do you handle your christmas shopping?
