MarylandQuitter

It can't hurt. I thought it was a joke until I did it to remove a craving one evening. Had this massive crave to smoke early in my quit and by the time I gathered two toads, I forgot about smoking. Still have the toads just in case they're needed in a pinch.

That's awesome, Queen!!! Just for you!

Getting rid of goat smell is fairly easy. 1. Gather 2 toads, a clove of garlic and go into the cemetery at midnight during a crescent moon. 2. Take one toad, rub on head, set down and let it hop away. 3. The 2nd toad - set it on a tree stump and pet it three times and count to 50. It must hop off the tree stump and start hopping due west. If it doesn't, start over. If it does, continue to step 4. 4. While facing the moon, toss the clove of garlic over the left shoulder. This works on removing warts too.

Well, you've made it an hour so there is your first milestone! :)

Sometimes minute by minute but the good news is that is gets much easier with each milestone. Early on your milestone may be one hour, then one day, then one week and then before you know it, you're approaching your 1st year smoke-free anniversary. Are you aware of all of the chemicals in each cigarette?

I'm originally from the Cleveland as well. Ravens & Orioles fan here. Gave up on Cleveland a long time ago.

Oh and yeah, love "The Walking Dead". We have entire thread dedicated to it. Did you see season 4? Devil Doll and Queen Greenlover are Dead junkies.

Yeah right, not buying it. I have 3 kids. I know what spilled milk on a shirt looks like. What did you do, wipe the milk from your chin right before you took the pic? (you said you like sarcasm, so do I) :)

Brittany, You're avatar - you have something white dripping on your shirt. Did you walk under the wrong bird? What is it? Milk?

One that gets tossed around quite a bit. wanker = a jokester

Here's one I bet nobody knew about. whilst = while :)

Your PC probably is goofing up but not in the case. lol This is the 2nd idea for a new forum for you. First you suggested the Off The Record and now this one. You're the idea lady. :scratch_one-s_head:

Welcome, Mason! You can definitely do this and even enjoy the process of quitting. There are other members here who have quit with spouses or significant others that still smoke. No matter what, you can quit. Even a knucklehead like me can quit so that proves that anybody can do it. If there are any issues that you're struggling with or nervous about anything, post it so we can work through it with you. Most things are not as bad as we make them out to be and quitting smoking is definitely one of them. Thanks for joining and make yourself at home. There are lots of cool features to the forum that you're free to use anytime that you want. :)

Congrats to you and your husband on one of the best decisions that you could ever make. There is no hope needed to quit smoking. All you have to do is live by N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever) and learn about this horrible, deadly addiction. Lots of good info and videos pinned to the top of the Quit Smoking forum. Stay close, post often and if you think you may cave and smoke, please post and S.O.S. in the S.O.S. forum and wait just a minute or two and somebody be there to help. Myself, all the moderators and many members get alerts whenever a new thread is made in the S.O.S. forum and most go directly to our phones via email. Thanks for joining our forum!

I'm not looking for the next great debate on dog behavior with somebody on the internet. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

To me, this video shows the unconditional love that dogs possess. The dog in this video doesn't care that the child has Down's syndrome and doesn't stop showing this little boy how much he loves him. At first the boy is a little unsure but soon can't resist the unconditional love of the dog and wants to hug it and be near it. Very touching. Our family dog was lost for a little for more than 24 hours this past weekend and I feared the worst but a very kind family brought him into their home until we saw each other putting up fliers about the pooch. Yesterday I was reminiscing about my old yellow Labrador Retriever who passed away six years ago. He was such a kind, cuddly dog that loved to be hugged and by your side 24/7. I remember on a very cold night I was working into the early hours of the morning (middle of winter in the snow belt of Ohio) so I decided to just sleep at work where there was little heat. It was hovering around 0°F outside and 50-ish inside. All 95 lbs of him slept on top of me all night. I could barely breathe but he kept me warm so I put up with it. lol My old yellow Labrador. :) Anyway, before I start going on for hours about my dogs, I was looking at videos of yellow labs on YouTube yesterday and came across this one and thought I would share it. Yes, anybody who knows how to use video editing software can make a video of anything good or bad and caption it "God doesn't make mistakes."

Please use this subforum to ask us any questions about the forum. If you need help using a certain feature like blogs, the calendar etc., this is the new home for those questions. :)

This is a good idea. I'll make this thread stick around somewhere. :) The blue/orange theme is here to stay. The original theme is still here, just hidden from the drop down box because our logo is too large for the original header and although I can change the size of the header to accommodate the logo, it doesn't look too good. I never really thought about it until now, but perhaps I can have the designer who created this theme for me (yeah, I picked the colors etc., :) ) create another theme using mostly shades of blue & gray. Guests cannot post. The main reason is because I don't want spam bots littering our site. We've had a few human spammers but they've been removed. Guests can only read the forums and cannot view the member list, member profiles or the OTR forum. I've set the guest permissions so they can read pretty much everything and get a good idea about who we are but at the same time, protect members' privacy.

Unconditional love in it's purest form. I once read that our dogs love us so much they dream about us each night.
