Yello Jello

Yello jellow can be spelled many ways. It is good for quitting smoking and falling in love. But some people don't like it, think it tastes like plastic, or object to it being made from animal hoofs. Sam, on smoke-free, had some bad luck with Lorraine's lemon jello recipe and that is when our hilarity on the list began. Some people get giddy when they quit smoking. Starster even sent a package to Steven in England, so he could participate! When he got the package he informed everybody that this is what they call "jelly." So what is jam? and marmelade? or preserves? It can become a relatively complex topic.

Did you know...

When Randy made some jello during his first week of withdrawal, he noticed that it wiggles. Nobody told us that when we stopped smoking, we'd start having fun! "Fun" is a feeling that nicotene suppressed.
Father Don, (smoke-free since 1991) used to like to say:

Actually, the topic is sex and when some people complained about all the silly talk about food, Randy admitted that:

Food is a much safer topic than sex. Nobody ever gets offended at lemon jello... as long as you choose a vegetable based gelatin! Lemons are very cleansing. It really is good to eat jello when you're having cravings because you won't gain any weight from it. There must be millions of jello recipies out there.
Other suggested foods for cravings include:

celery sticks: use your navel as a salt dipper asparagus: they grow an inch an hour! eggs: boil them and sit on them nuts and seeds: cultivate your nut seeds kidneys: every tried kidney beans and jello? ribs: eat them naked in bed!

And of course...kiss a non-smoker and taste the difference :)

One night we went to the PNE carnival in Vancouver and rode on a roller coaster. We nearly came unglued but there was some other scarey ride that was so bad my teeth chattered for half an hour after we got off and I almost peed in my pants. Randy bought me a little tiara thingy with gold stars.

Randy and I got engaged online, on Jello 17, 1995.
We highly recommend it!
Jello, that is.

Our romance is born of two equally strong realities: the process of quitting smoking that can transform a life, and the internet which will probably become a more and more common way for people to meet romanticaly, as well as for friendships to form and business partnerships to flourish.

Behind all the recent sensationalism in the press, the internet is a profoundly social place. It is not an information highway. It is a new way for people to communicate, a new social setting, and a new space for support and sharing.
