Yea, sorry about that, I forgot to leave it unlocked when I left :whistling:

yep it jas just taken me this long to realise the door that was lock can't be locked from the outside because there is no key for it...

oh god, he must still be in the house....help

@swiller: GG you can do it. When the wife quit smoking (before she was the wife) she threw out 2 plastic shopping bags worth of half packs laying around because she had some stashed everywhere in case she felt like a smoke.

So just think of all the money you're saving. Or get the non-smoking people you know to not associate with you if you've had a smoke until you've had a shower.:thumbsup: seems to be a good deterrent

 

[pancakeman]

You can do it nooby!

I don't really have any words of advice other than that, I have never done anything like quitting smokes. Just think of the years you'll get out of it that will be fun.

Dew please. Race tomorrow, planning today to make it go smoothly.

 

[corax1]

if i don't spam you before then GL PCM.

there's a race over on one of the local islands tomorrow (mountain biking for real men

however my new job means i have to work every sunday

 

[John Remedy]

Quitting addictions is tough stuff.

Speeling is a process of pooring a liqwid ontoo a flour. As much such, WM use a terms corektly.

The joke (for you noobs with less than 3K posts) is that I can't spell/type to save my life. What's sad is I glazed over everything but the k in correctly....

Hi sidhe, and while I'm less frequent than before I do plan on stopping in every so often, luckly you replacement spammers make plenty of work for me to catch up on.

yes but pretzels are epic. epic pretzels i name them!

I read that as "eric" pretzles!

The only 3D I saw was Green Hornet and frankly the "3D" was distracting, the background was so bizzarly out of focus i kept forgeting to watch the movie and other than the titles it didn't even look 3D. You know what REALLY interesting (re: 3D TVs)? Sega tried 3D, back in the 1990s, they pulled it because in the research they did the found it starts to cause lazy eye....and not just in kids, people as old as 80 were showing signs.

Recent Disney movies: TS3, OMG, I cried. It was El's First Movie In a Theater, she was less upset than Mommy..... Like Princess and the Frog, Rapunzle was good but very hard for my almost 4 year old to understand the whole "not her real mommy" thing so be warned.

@corax, nope, it's perfectly normal. Try vacuming her with the little crevse tool/hose attchment, they usually love that.

@pancake: it's called hyper, try cutting back on the amount of sugar/caffine, or we'll have to cut off your Dew

If a pretzel is covered in icing and various other stuff, is it still salted? and if not can it really be considered a pretzel anymore? and to be honest an iced pretzel sounds nasty

Yes and there's a brand of them here called Flips. Soooo yummy, only thing yummier is them with peanut butter. :drool:

My little cousin learned his colors as "blue hi-ya" "green hi-ya" "red hi-ya" etc. He's going to college next year...... Meanwhile Cartoon Network played Voltron right after school my Sr. yea rin HS so we'd gatehr around the tV in the school building and watch, until some of the teachers got mad at us.

mountain biking for real men

It's called the death ride for a reason...... my hubby's 67 year old boss has done it several times. But he also bikes up to Virgina City for fudge....

 

[corax1]

mmm eric's pretzels....thats right i beat up a kid called eric and am now eating his pretzels.

Death ride is all well and good but at the end of the day it's road riding. mountain > road every single time. One of the roads i do down here has a hill on about a 50 degree angle but is also slanted about 30/40 degrees to the left. you've got about 2 foot wide bits of track to play with cos on the down side is about a 10 foot drop. it doesn't sound scary but when you're hoping if you fall of you manage to crash into a tree it is not a nice hill.

90% of the casual riders walk down it and a handful of the pros to do. it's nutso.

Morale of story: road riding is for wussies

Got a phone call from the bank this morning. some chump somehow got hold of my credit card numbers and tried to buy stuff online. not having the credit pin thing he failed. but now my cards are deactivated and i've got to wait till next week to reset the account. pain in the ***. but well done by the bank for picking it up so fast.

I resnet taht!


My wife thinks I spend to much time on here, I think she spends too much time on FB. TMaLSS: We are both limiting our time to both for the next week, so I have about an hour every before work to check the forum/play D2...Stupid!

*Dew Please*

Never mind, I'll just get one out of Cor's fridge.

 

[Swiller]

Thanks for the support, everyone. I've never considered myself physically addicted to nicotine. Heck, I only smoked about 5 cigarettes a day. But my addiction is mental. I just like the act of smoking. But it's bad for me, and the real motivation is the cost. When I first started, a pack of cigarettes was around $4.00. That was in 1998. Now it's close to $10.00 in New York.
It's all because some of the Native Americans in NY refused to collect taxes on tobacco procducts, so our federal government (apparently desperate to collect money they don't need) raised the tax on cigarettes from ~$1.00 to
~$6.00. It's a load of ********!

I like that word! I wanted to type another word, which the forums wouldn't accept, but "********" conveyed exactly what I meant. It's interesting how America doesn't regularly use British colloquisms like "********" or "bloody",
despite the fact that most of us are decendents of those buggers.

You have an awesome bank. Mine dosen't tell me a thing.

EDIT: Okay, aparently non-American swear words are omitted here, as well. GG to the forum maintence people, even Noodle.

One of the things you need to consider about tax on cigarettes is that the average smoker is going to require a lot more medical treatment then the average person. Living in australia with a public health system, smokers do cost the rest of society a significant amount of money. In my mind (as someone who has only ever smoker the occasional cigarette) I think it is fair that the tax on cigarettes is high. It also has the added benefit of making smoking less attractive.

 

[Swiller]

I agree with that. I don't always make smart choices (like starting smoking) but I consider myself to be pretty smart. Meaning that I can rationalize and accept other points of view.

You raise an interesting point.

 

[pancakeman]

I'm tired now.

This. Except i have never smoked, never will smoke and people who smell even vaguely of smoke are not allowed in my house or car or in the general area of my person.

how'd you go PCM?

Also we got a new boss. he is a nob. the shop i work is only a small one so i run with minimal stock, basically as it comes in it's going out with only a little bit left over in case sales are higher than anticipated. He came in today and YELLED at me that i HAD to have 100kgs of sausages for saturday. i ordered for friday on monday. i tried to explain that to him but that wasn't good enough so apparently i'm meant to just carry around 100kg of extra snags on the off chance someone wants some.

what a tool

 

[John Remedy]

Sounds like a tool. I wish I had a boss that yelled at me.

My second-hand sofa used to reek of smoke, slowly fading now though.

This volunteer work I just took on (not the charity shop) is more time consuming than I thought.

 

[Pijus1]

he is a nob.

Noob?

10chars

 

[corax1]

nope, nob. he isn't new to managing in general so not a noob. he's a nob.

 

[John Remedy]

Hahaha.

10chars.

 

[corax1]

what's your other volunteer work eddie?

 

[John Remedy]

I'm transcribing interviews for a local Christian radio station. It's very time consuming, and I'm having to learn a whole new 'house style' similar to learning Harvard referencing for the first time.

My GF thinks I'm a little weird now, and it's annoyingly obvious of that. I listen to the station occasionally since I discovered it when we moved up here, especially while I'm cooking in the kitchen. It's not because I'm overtly religious, though I do take some things from Christian religion. I just prefer the music, especially the rap, to BBC Radio 1 and chart music in general. No shouting about sex, drugs, guns, loose women, although there's not enough D&B or electronic music. It's refreshing, and I'm very interested in how people are influenced by speech in things like preaching, advertising, even to Hitler's rise pre-WW2.

[Pijus1]

And what is a nob?

 

[Ojimijam]

Its an english (and other places) word when you want to be mean and compare somene to 'man-bits'.

Hurray.
