Today is day 186 in my quest to be quit from the chains of cigarettes (really about 2 more weeks but hey, there has to be some date for the sake of those that keep track). I'm mostly thrilled that I've quit but there are times when smoking a cigarette or cigarette(S) is the only thought on my mind (like when I'm trying to get technology to work).
As I have said before, I use Macs, I have a MacBook and DH has an iMac, and I love Apple products, well most of them but yesterday I bought a new Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (it's a router) and I cannot for the life of me get this damn thing to work!! I fiddled with it for more than 3 hours yesterday afternoon and then about another 2 hours this morning only to plug back in my old Linksys just to have my friend the internet back up and running.
Funny thing about this issue is that I set this very item up at my daughter's house with her MacBook just 2 months ago.
Keeps telling me that it can't find an IP Address..........why doesn't it listen when I'm screaming in frustration...."LOOK DUMB-ASS, LOOK"
****EDIT****
Finally got this damn contraption to work with the help of my son via long distance. His love, expertise and undying patience made all the difference. To my DS, you have the depth of my heart for all my life!!
I need to mention my DH cause he's put up with a raving lunatic since I first started messing with this......thank you.

I'm finding I have less and less patience for technology these days. Congrats on not losing your mind or giving in to smoke.
Keep it up! On my side, it has been 6 weeks and I am not even coming close to wanting to go back. Its weird after 26 years. I even quit taking Chantix a week ago and still OK!
Best of luck to you!
I am the same way when I get annoyed with something! I immedately think about a cigarette so I think you are right...I am still having struggles when I encounter a trigger. I am going to have triggers my entire life so learning to successfully deal with them is going to be a constant challange.
I am so glad you did not pick up! You are one of the "quitters" who had gone before me and has been super supportative!
Peace,
Diva
Glad you got it to work!!
