Update soon to come. My recent post on the forum. Saturday June 20, 2009
"I just got an idea (Ok don't get scared and stop reading! ) How about all of you who read this just write something about what you have been up to these past 6 months or if you're new to the Village (lurker) let us know what you've been thinking about with quitting or what you've gone through in your quit. Any thoughts, comments, pictures, etc. anyone wants to share will be welcome....even those who don't know about this forum have them email their thoughts about smoking and what they think of online support. Oh yeah, be sure to send a link to your MySpace, Facebook, Website, etc if you would like it shared with our friends and readers.
Send the emails to me no later than 5 PM today and what I'll do is create a "Happenings" article based on those emails....that is if I get enough so Mags, or anyone else who reads this, how about copy and paste to an email and send it to everyone you know. "
My email addresses are james011155@yahoo.com or james11155@yahoo.com or james12756@hotmail.com
Thank you!

RECIPE PICK
from Liddie's Village
About Liddie Wilhelm: Liddie came to Freedom Village some years back not only to help herself quit and stay quit from smoking but to let others know the dangers of smoking cigarettes and to quit before it was to late. She was already in the final stages of COPD. Liddie was a collector of recipe books and she would share them here and in Freedom Village Forum II, which I gave to her when I could no longer manage it. Liddie spent many hours typing in recipes until one day I got an email from her saying, "Bubba no one is coming to my board." I felt for her but was unable to get others to visit and post. With this new newsletter I will place one of Liddie's recipe's here every month. If you would like to visit click the name and it will take you there. I hope you will post your own recipes in Freedom Village II as I think my friend would have liked that.If you would like to become the caretaker of Liddie's Village please let me know. Liddie passed away as a result of COPD on August 29, 2007.
Note: If you wish to print this recipe please visit "Liddie's Village" and while you're there, how about sharing a few of your own and it might just end up here!

Life Is A Gift
Today before you say an unkind word-- Think of someone who cannot speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food--- Think of someone who had nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or wife--- Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion. Today before you complain about life-- Think of someone who went to early to heaven. Before you complain about your children--- Think of someone who desires children but they're barren. Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep--- Think of the people who are living in the streets. Before whining about the distance you drive--- Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and complain about your job--- Think of the unemployed, the disabled, & those who wish they had a job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another--- Remember that not one of us are without sin & we all answer to one MAKER. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down--- Put a smile on your face & thank GOD you're alive & still around.
