Thanks, georgiabelle! Glad I could post 2 toon threads today. If you missed Wednesday's (one of the 4 times I posted it), the HTML is gone :-( Another learning experience re not saving the HTML :-(

I am 63 years old and over the years have I acquired a number of addictions that were hard to overcome. While I was going to school and working; both full time, while beginning a family, I became addicted to Coffee (at least 2 POTS a day, every day).

After having given up smoking before I went into the army, one night I saw a whole lot more green tracers than red tracers and I was offered a cigarette. I greedily began to devour every molecule of the nicotine available to me and resumed smoking on a regular basis at the rate of three packs a day.

In Viet Nam I developed a taste for beer. I was able to support that habit to the tune of a 6 pack of Heinekens a day.

All of these addictions were easy to correct. I went cold turkey on the coffee to one cup a day. The Cigarettes I gave up cold turkey after 16 years. The Heinekens were again ended with a placebo of O’Douls after 35 years.

After the excruciating absence of Pooki’s Toons I was going through overwhelming stress. I would not be surprised if the loss of my daily dose of social balance didn’t contribute in a significant violent reaction I hade to one of my chemotherapy drugs. I went into shock and had to spend some time in the Emergency room at the hospital. While I can’t prove that the absence my daily dose of “TOONS” contributed to my medical distress, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Welcome Back!

Tom

PS: To the MODS, please be considerate of your Freepers on Chemotherapy who count on the wit and wisdom we find on Free Republic. Believe me when I say that you run a site hat is crucial to some of us who find our support in this world from many sources.

I just gotta have my morning pookie!

[MEG33]

Great toons! Thank you, pookie!

[YouPosting2Me]

Did you realize what an impact you have on "A FReeper morning". Most require coffee and Pookie?

Welcome back (but continue to push the edge).

Have a nice weekend.

I thought I was going to have to start drinking coffee.

[IrishMike]

You caused a little excitement yesterday.
Glad to see your brilliant work today.

Mike

[pookie18]

Thanks, noname07718! Sorry about yesterday, but beautiful note...that the mods probably won't see...as if it would make a difference :-(

Thanks again, Tom.

[Renegade]

Glad to see you have returned . The Mods almost turned me into a " lurker ' instead of a contributor . They (mods) have to lighten up in these serious times ,and evidently had no idea of the positive impact you have on this site .

[pookie18]

Well, you got a double dose of him today! ;-)

[pookie18]

My pleasure, MEG33!
