Hi, I'm not going to be able to do a diary this
morning. I'm sorry. I won't be home.
by flumptytail on Fri Nov 08, 2013 at 07:17:32 AM CST
Not sure where flumptytail is or where she will be going but we certainly wish her well.
No flumptytail doesn't mean that we don't have to act right.
GUS (Gave Up Smoking) is a community support diary for Kossacks in the midst of quitting smoking. Any supportive comments, suggestions or positive distractions are appreciated. If you are quitting or thinking of quitting, please -- join us! We kindly ask that politics be left out. You can also click the GUS tag to view all diary posts, or access the GUS Library at dKosopedia for a great list of stop-smoking links
flumptytail always posts a picture from her youth, this is the best I could come up with, I'm pretty sure it's her.
However, if you happen to live in the greater Cincinnati area would you please swing by and feed her cats and dog? A pickup load full of chicken and a Milk Bone should get them all through the day but please do not feed the raccoon.
GUS News:
Another good reason to quit:
JAIPUR: If you want a government job in Rajasthan, vow never to smoke cigarettes and chew gutka. The department of personnel has issued a circular to all government departments and district collectors to extract an undertaking from candidates to the effect that they do not smoke or consume gutka while in government service.

Alberta: Albertans could soon be banned from smoking in cars carrying children, stopped from using water pipes in public, and will lose access to flavoured tobacco products under new restrictions proposed Monday by the provincial government.
link
Scotland: Tobacco firms will not deter the Scottish Government from bringing in plain packaging for cigarettes.
The Public Health Minister, Michael Matheson, is "committed to bold action" to reduce smoking rates and said he wants Scotland to be at the forefront of international efforts.
The country was the first part of the UK to officially support standardised packaging, with ministers backing the move in March

There sure are a lot of us, please chime in:
