It was rough but what helped me was sucking on extra strength fisherman's friend lozenges. 😁 I don't know why but they helped me. OH, and the fridge will get you!!! Not now, but it will eventually especially after you've been off them darts long enough to get your taste buds working again. Food and drink never tasted so good as when I quit smoking!!! 😂 Good for you. I was good a quitting the tar, I quit with regularity. 6th day today. Only 2 sprays of Nicorette spray today. I did quit for almost a year 15 years back. I thought I had it beat, I don't think you ever really have the addiction beat. I remember Dad telling me after he had quit 25 years before that when he saw us smoking and smelled it he always had the craving. Popping in a Fisherman's Friend in your mouth may be a way to replace popping a smash of tar into your mouth. I'm already feeling better after less than a week. Constant smokers cough almost gone and my sinus's are clearer. I could use another 10 or 15 pounds. I went from 210 4 years ago and am down to 174 today. No reason why other than not having 1/2 the appetite I did 4 years ago. Fisherman's Friend trivia. It will sometimes raise your body temp about 1 degree. I had a guy at the plant that always went to medical so he could be sent home sick. The nurse would remark "Worker has a low grade fever." Worked every time for him he told me years later, usually on a Friday afternoon shift.

I,ll take a grilled sirloin burger smothered in fried onions and topped with fried Canadian bacon with a fried egg with a soft yoke topping it off on a egg bun, over that over priced piece of meat wrapped in a thin slice of bacon .

I'm with you Brian. We haven't had egg buns for years. When we lived in the city we would get egg buns from Deninger's almost weekly and found them at Food Town and bought a dozen in Hagersville just last week. Any burger or sangwidge is only as good as the bread on each side of it. Even a good lobster roll is garbage if served on Wonder Bread. Edited April 21, 2020 by Old Ironmaker

It's a rare moment that I use a while bun to hold a hamburger, most of the time it's 2 slabs of real rye bread. Rudolfs, not Dimpelmeiers. 1

Fisherman Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Some things are best left untold, but that's the only brand of bread I've been buying for the past 10-12 years.

Gonna make tacos

SirCranksalot Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 And the travel was about 20 mins or so. People are being asked to minimize their travel to cottages etc. Seems like he was well within the guidelines/recommendations.
irishfield Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Well within guidelines.. lol... I'm not supposed to walk next door and visit my own son.
SirCranksalot Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Different situation---he was not in contact with anyone that he had not already been in contact with. "self isolatin' was not broken.
misfish Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Your thoughts on Loblaws to allow front line workers in first ? This is going to be hard for some to except, and ,how many people are printing off FAKE papers as I type ? We all know this is very easy to do these days . Senior citizen is lined up at 6 am for the 7 am opener that they have been promised . Front line walker or 2, pull up at 6.59, park and walk to the door and are let in first . Person waiting dose not give a rats ass if it,s a front line worker . Here is where the yelling and maybe even worse starts . I am on the fence . Just asking Edited April 21, 2020 by misfish
Terry Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Well on the fence too but please don’t get too close. I see some reasoning to let people who are working to not have to line up. After all they have things to do. For the rest of us the line ups might be the biggest thing they do all day and the only time during the day they aren’t on their asses 1
ketchenany Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 I have family that are frontline Brian. I have lined up at 6:30 two times. Ten minutes in the store and everyone else was in also. Today at 10:30 I drove by a Food Basics and not one person at the door. I’m sure if this happens they won’t all show up at the same location. I read last week in England a heathcare worker got off work after 12 hours, went to store and shelves were empty of what she needed. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail and be civil, we are Canadian.

His wife had covid 19, two weeks later she was considered recovered however everyone that had been in contact with her should have been quarantined for two more weeks. However she and the kids went to the cottage, he properly self quarantined for two weeks, the children should have as well but they traveled with their mother to their cottage while we were being told "no unnecessary travel". I have been in self quarantine for 5 weeks now, I haven't seen my family in over three months, so based on your logic there shouldn't be anything wrong with me visiting my OWN FAMILY. 14 minutes ago, SirCranksalot said: And the travel was about 20 mins or so. People are being asked to minimize their travel to cottages etc. Seems like he was well within the guidelines/recommendations. So 20 minutes or so is alright, well it's only 3 1/2 hours to my kids place, I would be in the car by myself, so is there a time limit to No unnecessary travel? 22 minutes ago, SirCranksalot said: Different situation---he was not in contact with anyone that he had not already been in contact with. "self isolatin' was not broken. He hadn't been in contact with them for three weeks. It's the double standard I have the issue with, lead by example otherwise it's a dictatorship, everyone should follow the rules except me! 3
irishfield Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Well we all know JT drove himself there and back.. no rotating staff coming or going with him, or his family, etc.
