Great American Smokeout
The American Cancer Society marks the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November each year by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By quitting even for one day smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet about 42 million Americans still smoke cigarettes a bit under 1 in every 5 adults. As of 2012, there were also 13.4 million cigar smokers in the US, and 2.3 million who smoke tobacco in pipes other dangerous and addictive forms of tobacco. http://www.cancer.org/healthy/stayawayfromtobacco/greatamericansmokeout/index?gclid=CO3jnbLkiMICFeRzMgodQEwAsg

Universal Children's Day
By resolution 836(IX) of 14 December 1954, the General Assembly recommended that all countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children. It recommended that the Day was to be observed also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the Charter and the welfare of the children of the world. The Assembly suggested to governments that the Day be observed on the date and in the way which each considers appropriate. The date 20 November, marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1989. http://www.un.org/en/events/childrenday/

(72,300 posts)4. YEAH! We've been trying to get rid of stuff!
Did you know that a 10' x 10' rental storage unit might only be 10' x 9'3"?
That's what the inside of my Extra Storage unit is. The 10' x 10' unit in my backyard is actually 10 x 10 with a loft. My goal is to only have one storage unit by this time next year.
I love fudge! I'll look at the recipe later. Thank you.
Stop Smoking
If not for yourself ... Stop Smoking for the ones you love. They'll miss you if you don't.

We see you have returned! About to send out search partiers or something like that.
We did the basement clean out over the last couple of years to accommodate a bit of updating remodeling. It was very uplifting to see all "THE STUFF" go on the back of the truck to The St. Vincent DePaul Society" (Love those guys, they come, the pick up the stuff and say Thank You).

(72,300 posts)6. I was buried (nobody noticed) under piles of stuff.
I was lost in a 10 x 25. Thank heavens that's over. Missed y'all but it was overwhelming.
Oh, and I fell into the gap in my prescription coverage. That sent me into a tailspin until I figured out how to deal with the problem next year.
Sherman A1
(38,958 posts)7. Well,
we did notice your absence!
Glad You are back.....
Stay out of them storage things....
And glad you figured out the Rx thing. All this medical/insurance stuff is too confusing for me.

If we had known you were buried, we would have started shoveling!
I don't know what this means: I was lost in a 10 x 25, but I'm happy to see you again!
