they say time is money but it really isn't. time is so much more precious..

Money, money, money... what to do with all the money i save by not smoking? Since my 'red' cigs were $14.50 CAN when I quit... at first I didn't really know what to do with all the money i was saving. i strongly urge everryone to set aside a fixed percent of that (it can be 100% it can be 10%)... we are not all in the same financial position... but whatever it is you gotta actually spend that money extra on yourself. Then of course that depends on what you like... a vacation.. weekly massages... physio.. a gym membership... rf frequency laser treatment for all the damages that smoking has done to your face ... or brownies or raspberries or a great pair of shoes.. whatever is your fancy. but do spend some of that money on yourself, or on what you really do care about it life... but anyway it's important to give steady rewards to yourself.

The point I was making was that public outrage, ridicule, public judgement and shaming is not going to help people with smoking related cancers that keep smoking. Whether one has the 'right' to do that depends on the place. It's also the case that the research funding per death for lung cancer is about 1/10 or so of that for breast cancer; this is one reason (the other being screening), that survival rates have increased for breast cancer in the last decades while almost no improvement has been seen for lung cancer, until very, very recently... but the lag is still there. it's because of the shame go into incognito mood and google images for "lung cancer people" and then google images for "breast cancer people" CREATIVE COMMONS LIC Quit Smoking and Cancer by quitsmokingsupportcommunity (qssc) is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. my point is that everything i post as onthemark world wide has this license.

It's a bit ridiculous to quote your own posts. There is remarkably little clear information on the internet regarding the landscape of copyright in forums, in particular at a level a forum user could understand. I have not been able to find a TOS or TOC for this website. Please do advise me if one exists. Most copyright law is written in gobbly gook but creative commons has simple plain english copyrights. Here is the global copyright for all of otm and other's work who choose to use it. I am still not even entirely sure of the ramifications of what i am doing, but there are worse alternatives.. like being dead for instance. so anyway Indeed CREATIVE COMMONS LIC Quit Smoking and Cancer by quitsmokingsupportcommunity (qssc) is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. I myself had the wrong idea that i always owned the copyright to what i wrote and Sarge wrote back that any idiot is actually allowed to sign it away. About notice of copyright, I have provided it for the quitsmokingsupportcommunity in my profile. I am not sure to get real advise from a Lawyer... I hope people feel free to add their knowledge and insight about copyright and internet forums.

That was helpful. Thanks Sarge for your answer. I have not been able to locate a terms of service or terms and conditions for this site... does it exist? copyright law is very complicated sometimes and if a private individual hired a lawyer to answer all their questions they could easily go bankrupt... i mean there are things like 'fair use' as well. Also when a TOS says you cannot copy another user's content that is explicitly violated in the quote function so forum posts and other online items are not always viewed under strict copyright as that would impede the free flow of information. Basically one needs not only a lawyer but also case law to know but there is very little of that...

ok i read all that am still not sure of my 2 legal copyright questions to Sarge on the other thread. They are yes and no questions. so it should be easy peasy but i still don't know the answer and i know for a fact many others don't either so... go there.

Hey Pixel, man i am really with you on that one. Anything to get that metabolism running faster... then you don't gain weight and you also slow down aging and speed up repair... of course when you are young that is not a big issue most of the time but if you did lot's of damage to your body smoking like i . did... then well i am trudging along ok with my bad ankle and can go for walks and still ride my exercise bike i notched up a big step, you can see the small differences if you stick with it... it is never to late to get into better shape.. and it's great for your moods, sleep, anxiety and an other issues sometimes i think what people who quit smoking need is free boot camp

so anyway, hints are appreciated on copyright law. i heard a whisper that I could ask Sarge a question... he might know the answer, but does an individual always own, universally, no matter what (at least in US and Canadian Law), the right to republish their own material that they individually posted on an online forum. Is that an absolute right? a second question is what is sufficient notice of copyright. does there have to be a copyright symbol on every page...?

Oh, your getting so close to 2 months Pixel. How was the bleaching?

Wow Grace, 3 months is super!

renting through airbnb can offer more protections because they have clear policies and can enforce and also because hosts get to also rate visitors so you can read what other hosts have written before renting to anyone.

i'm with Boo.

I would put a big sign that there is a 500 cleaning fee for smoking indoors. that is what the hotels do here. and have them check when they confirm their purchase that they accept the fee should they violate the no smoking rules. it is a cultural thing, too.

so what i do is post google reviews and make sure my name is from an email account with an anonymized name. That is sweet revenge.

To anyone going through this experience: it's important to confront negative self-beliefs, particularly core beliefs. I found this kind of work quite helpful in just coping with all the stress of nicotine late withdrawal and a lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. https://drpatrickkeelan.com/addictions/identify-negative-core-beliefs/ i also want to say how appalling personally i find it when people are shamed on any kind of forum for smoking, particurly cancer patients... trust me the shame is already there and doing anything to create more of it, or to express public outrage, or public judgement.. well how harmful it is to that person after all the stenchiest place for stale cigarette smoke in canada now is literally the cancer ward at foothills hospital where people wait to receive chemotherapy. think about the puzzle and what it takes to really help people who are in dire straits and think about all the shame they face every day from other people in their lives.

so given what happened when i fell into the board like Alice in Wonderland last time, and i had expected some temporary 'emergency' posts had been deleted... I would ask in advance this time, it is not an emergency by any means but rather an invitation... so i am going to start a thread on "the shame of smoking and lung cacer" on our support communities website, which is in my profile here.. so i have to ask wordpress how to implement a thread on a blog, but in the mean time i will write this here. i write in the private room so as not to make a lot of noise, well the march goes on folks i am hoping to get some of bassman's songs and posts up soon but i have no access to the site on which it is posted... and seem to have temporarily lost contact with john... i hope john is well we are both cancer people who quit smoking.

Hey Jimmy, I hope that your friend Anna's surgery goes smoothly and she is feeling better very soon. They don't normally operate on cancer patients unless it will cure the disease or has a really good chance of making them feel much better. Praying for the best outcome. OTM

Hey Grace, I missed in life the concept of an 'enchilada tragedy'.. please explain 100% on the oreo question Fortunately I got my blood sugar out of 'pre-diabetes'. yay. that means no double stuffed oreos. in the end i get a few pieces of yummy carrot cake, raspberries and chocolate cake from a ridiculously expensive organic store here. i can afford it with all the money i save by not smoking. as long as i don't smoke everything else can work itself out. i had another major trigger today. my son is late after months and months just lying in bed and not being able to finish an application to grad school. i am glad to be here to help him... sometimes crises can teach us alot about ourselves. i learned so much by quitting.. i learned what a wretched addict i was too. but so have been lots of people...

Having quit buddies is awesome. I have one and we were both still quit as of last week.

I'll ask my son if he likes it too... Somehow a cigarette doesn't fit into that beautiful pristine picture.

I was planning to post here, but before getting access I had to check a box that says I have understood my rights and responsbilities, or something to that effect... for instance not to post anything here whose copyright does not belong to me.. that is clear enough but do I own the copyright of all the material i post here? what does that entail. Do I have the right to store a copy only, or do I have the right to post it elsewhere as well. also what does it mean to 'add a block' All advise, comments and constructive remarks are welcome. I am looking for advise.

lol. ok so what is really annoying is not to know whether something annoys you or not. it's a relief to be sure. so my biggest problem these last months has been my ankle and my physical limitations and the pain that gets triggered by a chronic injury. well my ankle is better today but it is still annoying and am waiting to see what bassman writes, so that is annoying to wait, or is it?

I remember your post the first time Paul.
