Glad you got em. I keep an emergency cigarette and matches in my car. You never know when you'll need it.

Yeah, so have I. There are a good amount of people who experienced weiiird side effects though. I just recently quit and have been doing really well with no medication at all, but if i do relapse, ill be using chantix. Hoping i wont need it though.

[omgjacki]

I don't actually know anyone who's used it, but they mention weird side effects in the commercial. I mean, they have to, just like Tylenol or Advil, but you wouldn't expect anyone to experience them.

My biggest thing is falling into depression or something. That's the most dominant thing that occurs from everyone I know that had attempted to, or has quit.

I have a traxxas nitro rustler. Got it when I was like 14. I figure at this point I might as well save it for my kids. I still use it here and there though the last time I tried to start it I failed. I suspect it was due to old fuel. I actually did get new fuel but it's a pita in the cold so I'm waiting until it warms up.

My boss is constantly talking to herself. I just heard her in her office say, "What are you doing?! You're an idiot." LOL

[omgjacki]

Haha, Susie, I do it all the time, just not when anyone can hear me.

Ive heard of side effects ranging from mildly strange dreams but overall happiness with the drug- to COMPLETE personality changes that were bad enough to make the person discontinue use. I havent used it personally, but based on what ive read, Id only use it after all other methods (gum, patch, etc) have failed.

I recently started on an antidepressant, which I honestly attribute a large part of my success quitting smoking to. Its a lot easier to quit when youre happy, thats a given. So being that my overall mood is generally higher, and my stress level is lower, has made it much easier to keep the eye on the prize.

I could literally talk your ear off on quitting smoking, but at the end of the day, you have to WANT to quit. Not because you know you should, not because someone else wants you to. You have to be GENUINELY TIRED of being a smoker.

Waking up in the morning without hacking crap up has been the biggest reward. The $416 ive saved over the past 82 days aint a bad thing either.

100% true, my mom has smoked for years, my whole life. She just recently quit. Her motivation was basically the same, being able to breathe and not hack up a lung when doing something active.

THIS is the truth. I've tried to quit in the past, just knowing I should, but it doesn't work. As of now, I enjoy smoking, no matter how bad of a habbit it is.

There's no telling someone to quit. My ex tried that out on me, I just smoked more because I was so annoyed with hearing it from him. It was stressing me out.

Joke of the day from me that I got somewhere else.

Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you
pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction
of the third judge is even better. For those of you
who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is.
They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time
Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion
of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park.



Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named
Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL.
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a
judge at a chili cook-off. The original person
called in sick at the last moment and I happened to
be standing there at the judge's table, asking for
directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call
came in. I was assured by the other two judges
(Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that
spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free
beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became
Judge 3."



Here are the scorecard notes from the event:



CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI



Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato.
Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is
this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway.
Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst
one. These Texans are crazy.



CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI



Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight
jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers
to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides
pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to
give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in
more beer when they saw the look on my face.



CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI



Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium
spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting
Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me
more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the
back, now my backbone is in the front part of my
chest. I'm getting ****-faced from all of the beer.



CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC



Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice.
Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good
side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of
a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my
tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to
burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing
behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is starting to
look HOT ... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili
an aphrodisiac?



CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER



Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers
freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very
impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use
more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a
strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring
off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted,
and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant
seemed offended when I told her that her chili had
given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from
bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the
pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It
really ticks me off that the other judges asked me
to stop screaming. Screw them.



CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY



Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili.
Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of
peppers, onions, garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe
filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself
when I farted, and I'm worried it will eat through the chair.
No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that
Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my
butt with a snow cone.



CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI



Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance
on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally
threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment.
**I should take note that I am worried about Judge #
3. He appears to be a bit of distress as he is
cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth,
pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've
lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it
is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with
chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My
pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least
during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me.
I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful.
Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I
need air, I'll just suck it in through the
4-inch hole in my stomach.



CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI



Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice
blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to
declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced
chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most
of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out,
fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of
himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor
feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot
chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report

is today over yet?

[omgjacki]

I need to get my car inspected. I just don't want to pay for it if it fails. It shouldn't, considering it's stock, with stock exhaust and a cat, but I'm still worried it'll fail and I'll be stuck paying for it anyway.

[Reese]

GOD i smoke more then ever now. Like for real! Last 6 month i have be a big smoker....Newports but i switched to Camel Crush now.

why do you think it would fail? i thought that emissions would be the main reason to fail.

[armyguy6566]

here's a riddle for everyone......

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and fires a shot just missing the man. The man thanks the bartender and puts a tip on the bar. Why did he thank and tip the bartender?
