Just the body expressing it's discontent for not having it's nicotine. Withdraw symptoms can be numerous. Most of us I think just have a select few. For me it was feeling real sluggish for a few days. If you go to the quack about it, they will diagnose some horrible disease and have some super expensive medication (not covered by insurance) for you to take. It is probably best to give things a few days and they will probably clear up. OR, you could also request "thoughts and prayers" from friends and family because that always helps matters. If that doesn't help, maybe they could send "good vibes".

I used to be on a site called sharedtalk, it is for foreign language learning people. I used to get marriage proposals on a daily basis from middle eastern men. They had no clue who I was, just saw a female logo by my name and that was that. They were ready for marriage. They wanted to come to Amedica and meet. They have since moved their efforts to FB and are now trying to marry my room mate. My room mate isn't into Akschmed apparently. I avoid the dating scene for reasons you mentioned. I have dated men and women. This means i get to see the bullshittery that both sexes have to offer. Men and women are equally assholes in the dating scene but in different ways. My own prospects always seem to have this laundry list of drama. "waiting for the divorce to finalize" is usually the main problem. And believe it or not, usually women have that "issue" more often than men. Ok fine, we are in our forties, that age group that more often than not has a couple divorces under our belts. But then there are various problems. Men that have not practiced hygiene since birth, 40 something aged women who are raising a two year old. Dumb asses. Women are good about showing up for at least the first date, men often have some piss poor excuse to cancel at the last minute. Then by the second date, women have to cancel because of some freak emergency like their best friend is in the hospital. Men beg for a second chance and explain that their wives are going out of town. Of course they are "going through a divorce". Marti, please do not feel like you are the only one who seems to meet the losers and douchebags of the dating scene. In my case, I have had to deal with - Teener Peener Tim, Two ton Tessa, Sally Syphilis, Prozac Patricia, Jobless Jake, Shit-pants Sherman, and some lady who had been married and divorced like 5 or 6 times.... But all these winners had one thing in common (besides going through a divorce) they SEEMED charming at first.

You mean "special" in the same way that Bakon would call people "window licker"?

just relaxing on the couch

When we smoked, yeah our lifestyle had to adjust for it. I am one of those "me first" types so smoking never really interfered with much of my life. I do not live my life according to the whims or wishes of others so if someone didn't like that I smoked, they knew where the door was. I guess the "slave" part that made me quit was I often thought of "what if i ended up hospitalized or in jail or something that I was forced to quit even for a few days?" You don't ever think things will happen but you never know.

Beazel, maybe, just maybe, those things have been said by some kids. Let me explain. When a kid is trying to do something they shouldn't, THAT is when they are quiet. One time my sister and i were up early on a summer day and when our mom got up, we asked her if she could go back to bed cause we were trying to enjoy the morning.

You know Boo will probably be enjoying himself to this video. At the end of it what happened was that blue bus was full of middle eastern terrorists who kidnapped her.

Oh I agree but that damn woman standing right there in the way makes it hard to fully see them. "Call me Caitlyn"

Well I must confess, I know someone who does make statements like the ones in this thread - my older sister. Jokingly of course but sometimes says cynical things but of course it is funny. Like one time i was telling her about some required class I was taking that the instructor rambled until the LAST minute. She said, "When class dismisses, you should say, "But i want to stay and hear you talk some more." With the references to the proctologist, I suppose No One Ever also said "Can you put on some Barry Mandalow while you do that?" Maybe No One Ever calls around and says, "How long and fat are your fingers? I am needing an appointment and i want someone with the biggest fingers possible." Yahoo. Just the word itself took me back. Ahh memories.. And you never really know with youtube. Someone might be wanting to enjoy EACH riveting second of the commercial. OH ALSO - No One Ever said, "I AM going to pay a lot for that muffler". If you remember THAT commercial... Anyways. "I wish my neighbors would make more noise." "I hope that pain in my left side is something really serious" "Well boss, I finished the task. Can you look over it and point out the faults? Like get in there and.... REALLY pick?" Oh there IS one thing that No One Ever said to a really mean crowd. It was - "You should not mind waiting because waiting builds character". Yeah, teeth have been knocked out over making THAT statement.

Holy shit runfree, the look that dog has is REALLY serious. Like a lot of deep thought went into his decision. AND, one of the quotes I live by, I love this one - "I am having a good day. Please don't phuck it up". So for those familiar with the Marilyn Manson song "Irresponsible hate anthem", what if in the radio-friendly version he said, "DANGIT! DANGIT!...." And about "twunkybollocks" - Does that have anything to do with a young flamboyant gay man's "bits"?

These are hilarious Here are a few more - (No man ever said) "I would love to marry a woman with weight problems and has a bunch of kids" (No woman ever said) "I hope to someday marry a man with no job nor ambition except to play video games" "Ahh, almost to the check-out. I hope this person in front of me is going to write a check AND takes a while to dig for their ID" (To the busy-work finding boss) "I am SOOOO bored, nothing to do. Is there anything I can help with?" "Oh it is my turn to change the baby? I hope it's a shit diaper." "WHAT?! That cannot be right! I don't want that big a tax refund!"

does the site that teaches one how to smoke also explain that feeling your lungs flinch the first few times is normal? I look back at that day and think, "I should have taken that as a hint that this activity is bad news". One thing people seldom mention about keeping quit but it helps me - Smoking is just a pain in the ass. Making a special stop to buy them. Overpaying for each pack. Having everything smell like smoke, explaining to people why you took it back up. I do not pledge NOPE, I do not chant anything fancy. My "pledge" is this - Today i am too lazy to do more than I have to. Buying cigarettes is inconvenient. That is 20 minutes I could spend doing nothing.

Well like if your day was long and hard, yeah that is what she said. My room mate and i though found out something - this person called "No one ever" says some really ridiculous things. But what kind of things? Here are some i can think of that No one ever quoted - (When Jehovah Witness comes to the door) "Oh please come in, I want to hear all about it. Can I have a pamphlet too?" (Friday afternoon to the boss) "But sir! Yes I know it is time to leave but I want to stay longer! (To an older gentleman) "Hey can you tell me that one joke again, I have not heard it enough times yet" (Shopping around) "No I was just trying to find the worst deal"

Nancy and everyone, it was a god damn joke. I guess I forgot that the QSMB crowd is a lot more uptight than what the regulars around here are.

I never got headaches when I quit. Different people have different symptoms. For me it was fatique. Sadly enough we have to pay some dues when we quit.

That is to say BKP and Doreen are both a couple boobs?

This would be the worst part because you know how bosses are - "What do you mean you cannot get to work just because the whole city is shut down? I walked 5 miles barefoot in this just to get here" We had some cold days for winter and a few days of snow but very tame winter. I don't know if it's good or bad but our winters have been real tame these past few years. I think winter of 2013 we had record breaking snowfalls but since then - I wonder if even Miami has so little "winter". Yeah Miami is one of those cities where it is summer year round.

Last two years I smoked it was costing me about $1.25 a pack simply because I was making my own with tubes, tobacco, and a cigarette machine. Right now though the pre-rolled ones I smoked are just about $5 a pack. Some snarky people think it is great that the price of smokes keeps going up. Just wait though. Once enough people quit because cigarettes are just too expensive, they will start raising tax to unimaginable levels on other things THEN people won't be laughing. I do not know why the govts of the world want people to quit smoking anyways. The feds are getting paid pretty in taxes over tobacco sales. Strange as it may sound, i empathize with smokers. I chose to quit but I have not forgotten what it was like to be treated like a disease.

I was not on QSMB much but was my first. When my only friend there got banned, I just didn't go on as much. Of course she jumped off this forum soon after. Anyways, so like are Avian and Faith on here?

It is not uncommon for old people to look up ailments and suddenly think they have some wretched disease. My step-dad was kind of weird about stuff like that when i was a kid. We would get cuts or bruises (as kids always do) and he would come up with some horror story about how the bruise may end up being real bad and we might eventually have to get that arm or leg amputated. Of course he would THEN say that we would maybe have to go in every so often to get infection scraped out at the place of the amputation. BTW isn't "the plague" something that wiped out some entire country over in Asia? Oh BTW you should have heard him describe his visits to the dentist. I can summarize - Drilling, pulling, scraping, shots, bleeding, throbbing pain, cutting, tears of pain trickling....

BKP, I would be murdering that rabbit for creeping me the hell out

BTW it is all Nancy's fault that QSMB closed.

Lack of communication causes more problems than anything. I vaguely remember something coming up about ownership or communication problems.

So someone must know this - What exactly happened years ago at QSMB that caused so many to leave? I of course was not on either board at the time. I never knew Quit boards existed until Oct 2017. What caused QSMB to close/malfunction/whatever? Be kind of a shame if they are gone. People have preferences to which they enjoy more between QT and QSMB. Both have distinct ways of doing things that some may love or hate.

I did the gradual withdraw method. went from 30 a day to three for three days then nothing. Though he means well, what Joel fails to mention in his videos is that he never actually smoked so he does not know first hand what it is like trying to quit. The important thing though is once you go from weaning off cigarettes to not smoking at all, one needs to STAY quit. Like I said though, the anticipation is worse than the reality. We hear about how it is worse than trying to quit hard drugs. We see things on TV where people are going batshit cause they want more crack, meth, etc. And supposedly tobacco is harder ti quit than THOSE? Bull. They just say that so people will buy pills, patches, gums etc. Me, I ended up drinking more pepsi. My big motivation to quit was this - If my nephew can quit school, quit jobs, quit everything he starts, than why can I not quit smoking? So I dropped the habit.
