Congratulations!!!! It's not easy to stop smoking. If you really want to see some interesting stuff... plug your quit date into the 'SilkQuit' meter...
Mine tells me I've saved over $42,000 since I stopped smoking... Well, actually, I've spent that on other stuff, but that's how much I 'would have burn up' if I didn't put down cigarettes! 12 years, 10 months, three weeks, and one day ago! Stitchawl |

Thanks for that link, Stitchy. I sent it to my sister. Will probably just make her angry. But she smokes like a chimney and will not tolerate any discussion regarding stopping. She looks like a mummy, like a smoked chicken, with that long time smoker's skin. And her husband chews tobacco, which is even grosser.

I like this conversation on smoking. I've never smoked before, but to be honest, I've been really tempted to start smoking while I was still studying, due to stress. I didn't though, I'm asthmatic and smoking would be detrimental to my health, plus I heard all those horror stories about the effects od smoking, so I've been kind of scared off it. That, and my parents would probably throw me out of the house if I did start.
I'm currently surfing the Internet aimlessly while deciding whether to play Guild Wars or Second Life. |

I "traded in" my iPad 1 to Amazon and just got an Asus Transformer. It was a beautiful tablet, but I grew to hate the iPad - being tethered to a PC running that blasted bloated iTunes, no connectors for USB or SD card, etc.
Unpacked the TF last night, charged it up, it found my wifi network, updated the Honeycomb OS - and started to play. The virtual keyboard is loads easier to use than the iPad's was, and I'm having a ball playing on it. |

The fad around whte I used to live is chain-smoking pregnant girls. They want small babies. I talk to them, but they just roll their eyes and stuff.
I say, "What would your boyfriend think?" but that just makes me even more of an interfering old crazy lady. ![]() Last edited by DixieGal; 06-16-2011 at 01:42 PM. |

I enjoyed watching my neighbour across the street getting out the sandbags again to stop the rainwater flooding her café. All the while she's complaining about that the council doesn't do enough to keep the drainages clear. IMHO it was partially her own fault: she keeps sweeping cigarette butts and other stuff from her terrace into the drainage. When it rains regularly it get washed away, but it has been really dry the last couple of months so I expect all the the debris (especially the filters from the cigarettes) has become one big clump. She also knows that the last time the paved the street paved they did it wrong and that all the rain water from the street runs directly into her café. Combine the two with heavy rainfall (for Dutch standards) and it's quite an entertaining thing to watch for a while.

I smoked a pack and a half a day for 42 years, non-filtered menthol 'Kool,' and probably like most smokers, tried to quit a hundred different times. Now I do it like AA... One day at a time. I didn't 'quit.' I'm still a smoker, but one who hasn't smoked in almost 12 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, and two days ago. I won't smoke today. I pray I won't smoke tomorrow. Stopping was much easier than 'staying stopped.' Stitchawl |

The thing about smoking that reduces stress is called by scientists; 'the sighing breath response.' It's what smokers do with the first one or two drags on a cigarette... draw in a deep breath of smoke, hold it an extra second or two, then slowly let it out. It's relaxing. But.... here's the tip... IT IS JUST AS RELAXING DOING THE SAME THING WITHOUT THE SMOKE! Try it yourself. Deep breath, hold, slowly release... relax. ![]() Save a lot of money. Save your health. Smell better to other people. Have whiter teeth. And in S'pore, don't have problems with the police for smoking in the street! Stitchawl |
