Phoenix Forum 2011 Changed my life! - THANK-YOU
 

This was my 8th time to the Phoenix Forum and just like all the others that happened before this most recent one.....it was productive, fun and never ceases to amazes me.

There are so many people and companies that I like to thank but there are simply to many to state them all. You know who you are though and I appreciate the time you spent with me!(Props to all sponsors and the host of course):thumbsup

With that said, over a light lunch with Bari from Moniker.com, Rainey & Kristi from CommerceGate.com it was discussed the struggle & benefits of quitting smoking. I have no idea why but quitting sounded like a good idea to both Kristi and myself.

I am proud to state that Kristi is on day 4 where as I am on day 1 but that's the hardest part I think....the actual leap to do it.

I wanted to take this quitting one step further and am wanting to raise money for the American Cancer Society........so if you are willing to sponsor me for $1 a day for 30 days of not smoking (for something which is a complete tax write off) let me know.
Donations are being accepted through a paypal account set up specifically for this.

Note - If I fail I will then match every single dollar in which sponsors/donations have been given.

So come on all you out there who always show off your cars and mansions, how about committing to a donation of $30 to a good cause?

Who's first?:smokin:2 cents:

Yay!!!!!!!! It was sooo good to see and dance with you again :)

Great seeing you, Yes, I will sponsor you for the 30 day trial:thumbsup Good luck in your quest:winkwink:

I'll donate. My dad died of lung cancer from smoking when I was 6 so I hate smoke and the smell alone makes me nauseous. Plus your cute so how can I say no :winkwink:

Good luck, I hope you pull it off.

Great meeting you :) Would love to sponsor, hit me up with the details!

Sorry for your loss, that must have been tough.
I appreciate the support and am sure that the American Cancer Society will too!

I'm still setting things up but donations can be submitted

Fabebook --> http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Qui...app_4949752878

If you don't have FB then you can do direct donation via paypal link --> https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...52c6e1151bdaa9

2 options - pay now OR commit now and pay after the 30 days....either way, don't matter to me, everything helps and is encouragement for me to succeed especially when I know I am potentially helping others.

Good luck girl! I'm going on 1 month today! :)

No need for luck....this bitch is a fighter!!! :thumbsup
Tomorrow I will have to start working out though cos the amount a candy I am eating is gonna make my ass huge and next donation set up will be the "Kiwi has a fat ass fund" LMAO

Congrats on quitting, see you on the other side soon.....I'm sure it will make that McRibb taste so much better. :winkwink:

Ditto my friend - -> And this time I actually remember. :1orglaugh

Now that is what I call... winning!

Good for you, Kiwi!! I hope to see you again soon. I'm probably gonna start going to shows again here and there so it's only a matter of time. (-;

Great seeing you Jo - and congrats on quitting! I have to do it as well.

Nice move girl!

Cool as it's been too long and I miss harassing you! lol

Pleasure is all mine....your good ppl. :)
As for quitting ---> currently have huge bowl of popcorn by me LOL

Appreciate the props :). Are you a smoker?

was very nice meeting you Kiwigirl. count me in on the donation :thumbsup

good for you ;)

great meeting and hanging out with you

i learned all about Kiwis and KiwiBirds :)

Much appreciated and loved ripping out the moves with ya. :winkwink:
Next time your on the dance floor be sure to look for me hehehe

Hahaha I always have fun explaining why the hell I have the name Kiwigirl.
Pleasure was all mine & look forward to our next encounter.

great seeing you, you look amazing as always :)

Ahhh I see my roofie had a good effect on you. :1orglaugh
What you think about this whole "quitting smoking" thing?

Funny you say that, i had a bad habit of biting my nails that I did my whole life until last years show, haven't since then. I never thought i'd stop.

wish i could do it
good luck to ya

Thanks again for the lunch Kiwigirl!! Donation sent :thumbsup

Great seeing you Jo and thanks again for lunch! I know it?s gonna be hard, but I know you and Kristi can do it! Good Luck! :thumbsup

Congrats.

She showed you her Kiwi Bird? Been trying to get her to do that for years, to no avail:Oh crap

You rock sweetie! Figures that only 2 people have donated so far.....guess that's not bad for day 2. I will start harassing people soon about it. Day 2, not really craving....just eating everything I can get my hands on. LOL


Your welcome chicka and ya know what......no luck is required, it's all will power which apparently us strong women have a lot of. hehe:thumbsup

I use to bite my nails as a little kid.....it wasn't until I started smoking where I dropped that dirty habit. LOL Weird how that is. Now I'm wondering what dirty habit I am going to have without smoking? :1orglaugh

Donated! Been trying to get the wife to quit for years. Maybe this will serve as some sort of inspiration for her. Good luck on quitting though. Never smoked, so I cant begin to understand how hard it is, but by all accounts, its a tough addiction to break.

Thank you so much for your contribution.
As for quitting, I truly believe that a good support system of people to encourage you as well as "reasoning" to do it helps a lot.
It was why I wanted to fund raise while quitting because then I know that I am not only doing it for myself but to be able to help others in some way just makes it all the more worth while. :)

Thanks again...YOU ROCK!:thumbsup

LOL - Remind me to show you next time. :winkwink:

Boohoo I missed u :(

You were there? We totally got to cross paths again soon sweet cheeks as it has been too long. :(
What the next event you think you be going to??

Sorry I missed you in Phoenix. Count me in!! :)

Yeah what she said? I didn't see you around either.

If I can donate so Baddog would shave his face I can support you quitting, count me in!

Well since Jesse and I have no immediate plans of quitting, sign us up for $1/day. Congratulations, mama.

And since I can only imagine how bad your oral fixation is right now, I'll throw in a box of cupcakes for good measure....

PS- Mario....Yay!!! Miss you, buddy!

Smoking a pack a day for a year gives you the same radiation as about 300 chest x rays. This is due to the fertilizer tobacco growers use. Cancer rates for smokers were not always as high as the last several decades. Use this info for motivation to stay away from the cancer sticks. If you cannot stop 100% then at least begin to roll your own cigs using organic tobacco.

A great way to kick the urge to smoke is to drink green smoothies (freshly made not that bottled crap sold in health stores). Fill the blender halfway with dark leafy greens such as spinach and kale. The rest of the mix can be other veggies. Make sure to add some fat like olive oil and flax seeds so the veggies digest better and you fully absorb the nutriets (low fat diets are total bullshit). Doing this every morning will make you feel so freaking awesome you won't even be tempted to smoke anymore.

This is what worked for me. Everything else failed.

@Kiwigirls & @Pseudonymous - No I wasn't there this year.. I'm way too busy working on my upcoming affiliate program.. I'm managing 5 girls now so it take time but I'm having a blast :)

Likewise, am sure we will cross paths soon though....pretty sure I owe you a drink....or is it the other way around? LOL

Awesome.....and when did Baddog shave his face? Not lately. LOL

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM COCK CAKES - IM LOVIN IT!

Day 2 and eating everything I can get my hands on. I will not fail though....have even sat with everyone outside while they smoke and I don't desire a smoke so that's a good sign right?

5 girls? Damn sweetie.....good for you. Btw - If you know anyone interested in buying a solo girl site with model still interested in shooting let me know....she's a cutie and the site has never been launched. :winkwink:

It was reported that the URL in which to donate wasn't working....
SO try this one LOL --> https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...=8MSCA4AHH9KJW

And this is reminder to donate....it don't have to be $30 for the 30 days, every penny counts. :thumbsup

Does she have a photographer to shoot her? I might be interested on taking her under my wings but I'll have to check her out first and discuss with you :) ICQ me some pics when you have the time :)

Hit me up, you have my contact.

Done :P and bump for a good cause :thumbsup

Was amazing seeing you Kiwi! Hope to again at another show soon... made a lot of great new contacts, saw some familiar faces and had a hell of a time doing it :)

<-----------Havent had a smoke in 48 days now

Using my vaporizer now and not a urge to even touch a regular cig again

Pleasure was all mine :thumbsup
Glad the show was eventful and hopefully productive. The Phoenix forum never seems to fail with pulling off a great show. :)

Huge congrats on the 48 days of being smoke free. Now whats the deal with the vaporizer?
And I was wondering if those electronic cigs with no nicotine would be considered smoking?
Then again that would just be creating another habit I guess. lol

I am halfway through day 3.
Have eaten my way through many lollipops and little orbit gum chiclets. LOL

In less than 72 hours I have managed to have 5 people believe in me enough to have donated $30 already = $150 raised so far

There has got to be more of you out there willing to donate....hell I love torturing myself so much that someone upped my bet in exchange for much larger donation. If I can loose 5 pounds as well as quitting smoking this sponsor will donate $20 a day for 30 days. Not sure if I will succeed with that one but might as well really put myself to the test huh? LOL

If you want to donate then.....DONATE HERE!! --->https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...=8MSCA4AHH9KJW
