Well I was last on Sunday evening. I have had a bad cold or something worse I am not sure. I have had a non stop headache and hacking like crazy. Since Sunday evening I have decied and acted upon cutting back my caffiene intake and to stop smoking. I have not had a cigarrette since Sunday afternoon. I have had 3 cups of coffe each day or less since Sunday. I have not felt very well and have not had any energy since Sunday is why I have not been here as usual. I will return I just do not know when. I can't find the energy at all anymore with this hacking cough and sore chest etc. I am very irritable from the cutting off nicotien and cutting back on the caffiene so that's understandable. I have to quit smoking that's for sure. Not for me but for my grandsons really. Sorry but I am going to be MIA / AWOL till I feel better. I will drop in reading emails and what not. Now if I respond at all is a whole other story. Thanks all and have a great time here.

Sorry to hear that you'll be absent, though I haven't posted with you much. It's great to hear that you're quitting smoking, and no caffeine is definitely also a good thing, although it seems like it's quite a bear to try and stop both at once.
Best of luck to you, and though you'll be gone for a while, keep us posted. :)

Take the time you need, we will miss you and be here when you get back. Good luck on quitting smoking, you can do it. I did it, it was tough. The grandkids are worth it. That was part of the reason for me quitting, I want to see my grandkids grow up too. My hubby would still be alive if he had quit smoking years ago. Cutting back on caffeine will give you a headache. Thats tough to quit both at once. I quit all the caffeine a long time ago. Now I don't "need" coffee to wake up. I will occasionally have a cup of coffee, but I am not addicted to the stuff anymore. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

I will be on daily just I won't be starting discussions nor responding as much as usual due to these irritable feelings etc. I've been sneezing on and off for the past couple hours. Been blowing my nose so much today that it's turning red and sore. Thanks.

Thanks friend. I am going to be on and off actually. Being at the puter was always a place I had to have a smoke in my hand wether I smoked it or not. So this is one way to try and quit. Now this damn cold is kicking my butt today with the dang runny nose and sneezing.

I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well. Good luck quitting and I know just how bad you may feel quitting the caffeine, as I had a terrible time. You might try a ice pack on your forehead that helped me feel better.

Thanks. And the worst feeling today is the sore nose from sneexing so much and blowing it so much all day today. The worst part about the smoking is the habit of me having a smoke all the time I sit at the desk. One reson to try and stay from the puter more often I feel.

Awwwwwwwww, Grandpa Bob, I've really been missing you, as you know, and am glad you've posted this to let everyone know what's going on with you. It's wonderful that you're doing this for your grandsons, but so hard at the same time. I remember the battle my husband had 'trying' to quit both. A very hard struggle. I'm so sorry too, that you're feeling so lousy, and please make sure that you take the best possible care of yourself, and get plenty of rest. We'll all be looking forward to your return to us, and I wish you a very speedy recovery.

Sorry your not feeling well, Grandpa Bob. Cutting down on the ciggs and coffee at the same time? Bet your wife doesn't even want to be near you right now. Hope you get better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife as well.

Hot tea with honey and lemon...yummmmmy and so soothing to the throat with all the coughing. Wait a min. here...is it black tea or decaf tea? Need to go with decaf if your cutting down on the caffine.

Sorry you are feeling under the weather and here's to a speedy recovery. The non-stop headache is probably due to the cut back in caffiene. Those caffiene headaches are killer let alone not feeling good on top of it.

The headaches are okay today as far as being bearable. The hard thing today is the runny nose and sneezing. I'll be around as well but not as actively posting or responding.

Hey grandpa bob.... I hope you start feeling better soon.. Kinda makes me wonder if you have the cold and flu both that will wear a person right out... A cold is just as bad though, For some reason they seem to get worse and worse every year.. I know they do for me.. However I haven't had a really bad one in the longest time... Call me lucky I guess you can say nore have I ever been really sick for the longest time either...It's nice though to take a break from certain things that's for sure... I do hope you feel better soon.. we'll be thinking about ya....

I wish you all the luck in the world Grandpa, smoking is the most difficult habit to break. After you get rid of this cold, you will only go uphill from there. I hope you're feeling better soon. I'll be anxious to hear your progress.

Oh Bob so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, I felt the same thing coming on last week myself but doubled up on vitamins and made sure to take lots of echinesea and vitamin C, I must have caught it in time because next day I was ok.
Congrates on the smoking thing though - that's not an easy thing to give up and caffiene at the same time I'm sure your going through a lot of changes. Best advice I can give is drink lots and lots of fluids and just keep thinking how much better you will feel once that 'junk' is cleared out of your system.

What the heck is "enchinesea" anyhow? Another one I don't think I've ever heard. I've been taking vitamins and a lot or orange juice as well for the vitamin C intake. I hope to kick the smoking for good thisd time. Only time will tell I reckon. Thanks bunches friend.

Amazing Grandpa Bob i am so sorry that you are ill! I assumed you had gone off on another Casino trip without telling us! It is great that you are giving up smoking - when you have achieved it and have settled into being a non smoker perhaps you could give me some tips! I do hope that you feel better soon as we all 
and miss you! Feel better AGB! xxx

I can't offer any tips at this tiome. I've failed many, many times in the past trying to quit. I guess one has to WANT to quit before they can be sucessful. But I need some meds and am going to run to the store soon. Thanks and take care as well.

It's going to be VEY hard to say the least. I've tried many a time in the past and always started again. The longest I had ever been smoke free for was a 5 month stretch many years ago. I've GOT to quit this time.
