			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yup, it is six years to the day that I finally gave up tobacco for good.  I, like many smokers, had tried to quit several times before but had succumbed. But this time, with a ten year old and a newborn part of my life, I decided that this time, my addiction was NOT going to win!</p>
<p>And I pat myself on the back for succeeding. Yay me!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Random stuff that popped into my mind this week:</p>
<p>1) Why are there only about half the number of OC Transpo buses on a Friday morning than any other day of the week. It couldn&#8217;t be that drivers are calling in sick and the Corp. simply isn&#8217;t bothering to replace them? Naw&#8230; that can&#8217;t be it.</p>
<p>2) The days are getting noticeably longer &#8211; and that makes Trashy very, very happy.</p>
<p>3) Don&#8217;t you hate it when little kids get sick and they look at you with that &#8220;why aren&#8217;t you fixing this, Daddy?&#8221; look? Cuts ya to the soul, it does.</p>
<p>4) Earbud etiquette: when is it rude to stay plugged in? At a store? Out for a walk? Are there some social situations where you should absolutely fer sure unplug yourself? What about when you&#8217;re at the counter buying something from the corner store. The clerk doesn&#8217;t give a crap about you so why should you give a crap about him?</p>
<p>5) Concussion update: feeling much better. The headaches have subsided to a dull throb. And even though some <a href="http://dave1949.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">(Dave</a>) will think that I will be a total wussy by doing so, <a href="http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://eternallycool.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/bye-helmets.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http://eternallycool.net/2007/09/laying-of-hands/&amp;usg=__zxunuy1QGMXDGHIAoY8dTkYLZz8=&amp;h=480&amp;w=640&amp;sz=39&amp;hl=en&amp;start=6&amp;sig2=PWLyCfEp65C9edAaEhPYOg&amp;itbs=1&amp;tbnid=ULxu0ULIMcVMYM:&amp;tbnh=103&amp;tbnw=137&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcool%2Bhelmets%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG&amp;ei=GBJsS6ejEYWwlAfk7oCtBQ" target="_blank">I&#8217;m buying a helmet</a>.</p>
<p>6) I&#8217;m writing this while sitting on the 148 on the way to work. The WordPress app on my iPhone is pretty effective and I&#8217;m getting the hang of the keyboard. I expect more and more of my posts will be courtesy of George (my iPhone&#8217;s name).</p>
<p>7) One last thing &#8211; I&#8217;m still chuckling about the<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Can-this-Onion-Ring-get-more-fans-than-Stephen-Harper/282298836447?ref=mf" target="_blank"> onion ring madness</a> that has gripped the nation for the past few days (56,566 fans and rising!).  Seriously, if you want a good laugh, scroll few some of the hundreds (or thousands) of wall posts on the site. You&#8217;ll see stuff like this:<a href="http://trashysworld.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/onion1.jpg#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1852" title="onion" src="http://trashysworld.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/onion1.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="604" /></a></p>
