I was smoking on average 3 packs a day! At today's prices, that is $7665 I get to keep in my pocket each year. Understand that when I quit, the prices were more like 1.50 per pack. I rationalized my heavy usage as I had a very...

Clint Perry I think it took a couple of weeks before I felt better but I agree. I was much better all over one cravings began to die,away.

Clint Perry I don't know about feeling proud. Happy, absolutely. But I am also frustrated that I allowed myself to become addicted in the first place. But I suppose I was subject to the norms of the times I grew up in. Peer pressure and a family that smoked opened doors...

Clint Perry Thank you. It was so long ago but I tend to think about it each year as the anniversary rolls around. It's nice to think of the money I did not spend on them

Clint Perry I agree. I have turned down some pretty awesome deals on houses in the past because someone had smoked in there. When I am looking for a used car, I won't even consider one that has been smoked in. I even sent something back to a seller from eBay because the...

No, I didn't get Covid for a third time, but I did finally go and get my first shot. It was the Moderna shot. And it knocked me on my a$$ for nearly three days. It's been a week now, and my head still doesn't feel right. Now I'm...

I was minding my own business, watching an episode of This Old House when I heard a racket outside my front window. There, much to my surprise was a small bird about three inches tall that would fly up to the window and peck at it...

Clint Perry @dpk262006 Yes. The Chickadee is much shyer than a sparrow It very rarely sits still for more than a moment. It will sometimes hang upside down to catch bugs in the bark of the trees. I think they are cuter as well. We have two different sparrows in the area,...

Clint Perry No, after three days it stopped. I am more afraid it is going to hurt itself than anything else.

Clint Perry I guess that would be similar yes. I have never heard of a dog doing that though. I've seen a video of chimps trying to touch the chimp in a reflection. After a bit, they begin to realize it is a reflection. I suppose chimps are a bit smarter.

Clint Perry Wow. I thought sparrows were pretty much everywhere. The Chickadee is about the size of a sparrow but it is more energetic. they hardly ever sit still. I felt privileged to get a decent photo.

Clint Perry @CarolDM Funny that. I had my drapes closed and kept hearing this noise. When I investigated that little bird is what I found. I went out into the yard and there was a very strong mirror-like reflection on the window.

Clint Perry I hadn't either. These were puffy Christmas stickers and when he got it off the window he dropped down on it and started trying to rip it apart. That has to be one of the weirdest actions I've seen a bird take.

Clint Perry They are and for the rest of the season, they are very friendly. Or at least they don't attack the window.

Clint Perry @Superco9 I do provide a nice environment in my yard for them. But I suspect they are warning me to stay away from their nest.
