A New Yorker in Queen Elizabeths Court

Have not blogged in so long it's nearly a tragedy! When last I was active really I had just begun my battle to quit trying to actively give myself cancer!
I am more than a year now without smokes. Still a brat, but I don't smell like cheap cigarettes anymore

Have just finished reading this article and tears are running down my little cheeks. I am not allowed to share this with my husband because he has decided to be Cruise's one man fan club. You read and tell me if I am wrong to be weeping in laughter at the latest " I'm a dumbass" Cruise stunt.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' decision to name their daughter "Suri" has linguists baffled, as there is no record of the name meaning "princess" in Hebrew.

According to Hollywood.com, Hebrew linguist claim that Suri has only two meanings--one is a person from Syria and the other "go away" when addressed to a female.

The name Suri may have descended from "Saray" ("Sure" in Yiddish) which was the original name of Abraham's wife, which went on to become Sarah. The name is also very close to permutations of "Suraya" which does in fact mean "Princess" in Farsi.

Hebrew expert Jonathan Went said: "I think it's fair to say they have made a mistake here. There are variations of the way the Hebrew name for princess is spelled but I have never seen it this way."

Suri also means "pointy nose" in some Indian dialects and "pickpocket" in Japanese.

First post in ages and I pinched it lol

MY KIND OF DOCTOR

I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOCTOR WROTE THIS, BUT I LIKE HIM VERY VERY MUCH !!

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste
them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart
will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life
of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

---------------------------------

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and
corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an
efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy
vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily
allowance of vegetable products.

---------------------------------

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that
means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of
the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

---------------------------------

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If
you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

---------------------------------

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?

A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

---------------------------------

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.
In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad
for you?

---------------------------------

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the
middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should
only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

---------------------------------

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO ..... Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the
best feel-good food around!

---------------------------------

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

---------------------------------

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

---------------------------------

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about
food and diets.

And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but
rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the
other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO,
What a Ride!"

Well off to the inlaws for the holidays! i really miss writing and reading everyones stuff. I hope you are all well and have a yummy christmas! I look forward to catching up with everyone after christmas. have loads to tell, it's been prime time drama the last 2 months. so plenty of giggles at my expense soon i promise.
love and xmas kisses,
Tallulah

i am amazed that i have made it this far. i really did not think i could do it. this is where having evil children has come in handy. they have kept me so busy that stopping to think about a fag has been impossible! almost all my christmas shopping is done and i have lost 7 pounds in the past 3 weeks so all in all not bad baby! hope everyone else is doing well.

This is my 5th thankgiving on this rock and i am finally going to get to celebrate one. it's just going to be a day late but no worries there. making big cinnamon apple pie later for tomorrow and going to try and watch it's a wonderful life as my holiday season is offically started.
Right now, down to business. What I am thankful for, top of my list I am thankful the george bush can not be re-elected and do further damage to the world as a whole, that i have a family in britian that i love and adore. i am thankful that i have gone more than 24 hrs without a cigarette, i am thankful that i have not actually killed any of my teenagers. and most of all thankful that i have some mates on here who i can always get a giggle from and who put up with all my drama and bad behaviour. Thank you all.

okay so had my last one last night, and woke up this morning put on my patch and felt really woozy. cat napped alot of the day because i was afraid of being awake... good plan but sleeping for next 3 months is not very practical is it. have to come up with an activity when i am consumed by the want of a fag. and my best mate who smokes like a human chimney is doing a no fly zone because it will be hard for me.. so i am now alone, without smokes, and my brain feels funky..when does this stop? and more than anything i am so worried i am going to eat my way thru wales...my ass can not afford to expand.

hey yall, how goes it? oh the drama, where to begin...well the last month has not been my best. had brest cancer scare, spent a week in hospital, been diagnosed with something not at all nice, and my car died, and...my daughter has decided that she is old enough to have sex. so my cup has just runneth over. where is my sheik to take me away from all this. and quitting smoking has failed spectacularly and i am typing with fag happily in my mouth. i know i'm bad, blah, blah, blah. on the upsideher vicship is doing thanksgiving dinner for me on friday which will be lovely, but as she is a veggie no turkey
where the hell is my sheik????

Well after due thought, and massive panic attacks I am quitting smoking. god please keep me from killing the people i live with, they are annoying now, with out fags i could actually kill them. it's very scary but it's become more painful to keep smoking than to quit. I am spending stupid amounts of money doing it and i have this cough that just won't go away. so fuck it, into the deepend and just swim. can't be that hard, i live with teenagers.
6pm i shall start the road to healing, and possibly prison lol.
