  1. The fact that bosses at work sometimes complain no matter what. When people hate their jobs, it isn't the work they hate, it is listening to the BS. Kind of like the other day our team's supervisor held a meeting to tell us we are wasting too much time. That is about as ironic as a hipster in a mainstream restaurant listening to top 40 on an android phone.
  2. There is one "scary" movie i guess that had an effect - Oculus. The ending was horribly dumb. I was terrified that something so stupid could just swoop down and take away two hours of my life! And then there was the $5 I spent but will never get back. Also the remake of Poltergeist. Hardcore cult fans of the original have killed themselves because the remake was so sorry.

    Raisin bran is OK at least, there is enough sugar and raisins to cover up the horrid dull taste of the bran flakes. BTW there used to be some cereal called Krinkles. They got rid of it though cause the clown just wasn't creepy enough.

    There is a serious problem here. NO HOUSE should have certain cereals because they SUUUUUUCK... Let's see - Corn flakes tops the list. those are so boring and dull that their very existence pisses me off. Plus they get soggy INSTANTLY. Life cereal - More like NO Life cereal. BOOOORING. Bran flakes. There is a legal requirement that anyone under age 60 is not allowed to eat them. Cheerios - Good God these things are about as exciting as having sex through a hole in the bed sheet. Rice Crispies - suck. And there is one that is SOOOO bad that it cannot be called cereal. it is Kashi. That stuff is made from dead grass, leaves, twigs, and probably squirrel turds. My brother eats it. He is not hurting for cash so not like he doesn't have a choice. I kind of feel bad for him. he is healthy as can be, not like kid's cereal would hurt. A self-respecting human being knows that a household cereal selection should be more like - Krave, Froot Loops, Cap'n crunch, cookie crisp, cocoa crispies, When I was a kid, I would gauge the coolness of someone's home by what cereals they had. In our house right now we have double chocolate Krave and also Oreo cereal, huge boxes. I hurt my back carrying them in. HUGE boxes. TLDR - Sugar laden cereal - GOOD Whole wheat/healthy - BAD. Screw this healthy bullcrap. We already gave up smoking, what more do our bodies want? If you have Corn Flakes, Bran Flakes, Cheerios, or Rice Crispies, throw them away immediately.
  5. Just wait til two months. Bakon will send a more revealing photo of that sexy drag queen holding the cake. It will be here before you know it. Or as Martian said something about you are going to go number two and have helped him along the way. That is beautiful.
  6. Thanks. And to think, I have also refrained from killing anyone.
  7. gosh darn it! I KNEW me and my room mate were forgetting something. when I tell her we missed the super bowl, she is going to be SOOO upset. And I was there yesterday thinking my disappointment was because i could not find any cool skirts at thrift.
  8. Oh just wait. At first it SEEMS easy to quit smoking. We are motivated, gonna quit, get healthy, blah blah... But then, the craves start to hit a little harder and the initial motivation fades. And perhaps three to four months in you find yourself wanting one more than ever while some relative noobs are acting like it is easy. I did the same thing though, thought it was gonna be easy, could not understand why those with several months quit were relapsing. But now it is me who faces the hard part - KTQ without that initial excitement of quitting. Just be ready, the worst of the battle is yet to come. One thing you will hear or think often is about what rituals, habits etc made you want to smoke. That is silly though because since most of us smoked during and after everything, what are we gonna do? Avoid all those? Are we gonna not get up in the morning, give up coffee, not read the news, not play on the computer, not take breaks at work, not eat meals, not go to the bathroom, quit driving, not have sex, not take the dogs out, not beat the kids... But yes, a great battle lies ahead. The crave has hardly begun to hit. It is waiting for your guard to drop. Speaking of the crave, i wonder if White Castle still has 10 sliders for $3.99. BTW for those who do not know, White Castle is some fast food place. Their hamburgers give you gas. Not the kind for your car. No, the kind of gas you do not want while wearing a space suit.
  9. We have not been to -40 yet here. Is that wind chill or just the regular temperature on the worst days? I think we hit 10 below The scary part about it being bitter cold is if the car should break down somewhere, it could be dangerous. Not like a Spring or summer day when you can sit in a grassy area without concern for the weather. Funny how winter wears out it's welcome after the first serious freeze or even after it snows and the roads are a mess.
  10. Alright i was kind of rude. the craves for a relaxing cigarette are kicking my ass lately 9 ways to Sunday. I thought it would be OVER by now. But no, everything and everyone is pissing me off. But there is good news. I got this email with a "happy B-day" message from some forum I was on years ago. I had forgot I ever signed up. It is a forum for those struggling in relationships. I can go there and be a complete asshole until they ban me That way I do not get in trouble here.
  11. I am about to really be hated over this one... I am going on four months without a cigarette and lately, since the three month mark, it has been hard. Never stated out that way. Lately though the subject of cannabis has come up a few times. Going from tobacco to cannabis is mostly a lateral move in the way of "quitting". Then here we get the non-stop line of three day quitters who are SO proud but never last in their "quit". How many long term quitters though do not have some other habit that carries them through? I suppose if someone has their booze, weed, or NRT to help them, then maybe they hang on to their quit. I have none of those. And four months in, not having a cigarette still sucks. When someone has some other chemical addiction helping them through, is it really quitting though? Kind of cheating really. Too often "I quit smoking" is not the entire story.

    For anyone who has no problems with legal cannabis - Would you want someone you cared about being a passenger in a car where the driver just got done smoking some? I sure would not. if it were someone I hated like my neighbors then I would delight in the fact but not someone I cared for. I know, I am a dumb ass.
  13. if someone regrets quitting, they can always go back, no one is stopping them (unless they are locked up or in the hospital) To gain freedom from smoking, one is going to have to pay some dues. Some get hit with craves early on and others (like me) it takes a few months. Quitting smoking is easy, yes. STAYING quit is another story. Kind of how like getting motivated is easy but keeping it is hard.
  14. It can progress into the rockin pneumonia and the booogie woogie flu. But if you are hot and you have rock and roll pneumonia, itt's time to call in Dr Love.

    Don't call yourself a "non smoker" if you smoke weed. If you are going to move from tobacco to weed, why not just keep smoking your cigarettes too? Not like you are truly quitting smoking just substituting. In today's society, they act like you are just a worthless asshole if you use nicotine or tobacco in any form. Chew tobacco? Use the gum? Pills like Chantix? Well, that isn't really "quitting" but just substitution. They are so dead set against tobacco and nicotine that it is annoying even for those who quit smoking. If you smoke cigarettes, you get razzed because you are hurting yourself and everyone around you and screwing up the space-time continuum blah blah. But come time to make cannabis legal, well why not, it isn't harmful. I do not care what someone wants to do to their health. What bothers me about the whole "legal cannabis" crap is how they have been coming down on tobacco for decades but cannabis is somehow okay. Every lung-destroying product that comes along at first is marketed as being "not harmful". Cigarettes, vape, now cannabis. Cannabis or weed or whatever they call it now actually is harmful. Have you ever smoked it? the effect is it puts you in this relaxed daze. Kind of like being drunk but not as numbing. You will be pretty oput of it though, like you should not be driving. I have smoked it probably a dozen times in my life. Never again. If I am going to quit smoking, I am going to quit smoking. And honestly if I WERE to start smoking anything again, it would be cigarettes. Those are legal, cheaper, easier to come by, and taste better.
  16. You know that is interesting because one of my friends has a black lab and I -think- some of my neighbors have a meth lab.
  17. If you have not been able to eat it in a while, won't it be kind of difficult or nauseating at first? All I am saying is - The first couple, take it easy and once you know you can handle it - TEAR THAT SHIT UP! You know though - I think our favorite foods in life are WAY more addictive than our stupid cigarettes ever were.
  18. Boo you dipwad, what makes you think the dog is going to have any luck giving the cat some eyedrops?

    I have not had cable in years either, not since like 2009? I do not get this about cable though - So the programming sucks, it costs a minimum of $100 a month for repetitive sucky programming featuring white trash, people pay for this, then complain that there is nothing to watch. But I beat the system yes siree Neal and Bob, I watch "nothing" for free! In fact, if i want to watch Jerry Springer, Cops, Intervention, or other trashy people shows, i just look out the window. Sometimes there are even people showing why you should not use meth. I am not really even kidding - all the ills of society that people watch on TV, It is all in my very neighborhood. It would be CRAZY for me to pay for cable.
  20. Seems most people quit for health reasons. Either the doc told them their life now depended on it OR some like me who said, "I would rather not get lung cancer before deciding to quit. No smokers are truly immune to the possibility of early death from smoking, EXCEPT Keith Richards.
  21. I wonder if my dog is one of the very few that, when drinking water, makes sounds like - Slip slap slurp sleep sluup slap slurp sloop slip slap slurp... Just like these horrible noises Or when he is eating, it sound like he is trying to murder his food bowl. he is not deprived of either. But gyod he acts like he has never had food or water before.
  22. It can take several months before the desire to smoke rids itself. Two months is great but one is certainly not off the hook yet as far as cravings. I am going on four months and still want to smoke. Not sure how long it takes and never asked lest i be directed to go watch some damn video. So you stopped smoking long before he did. I assume he was smoking when you quit? WHY then was he giving you advice about quitting? Is he one of those "off again on again" "quitters" like so many out there?
  23. They censor it like that because "bumping uglies" or "fornicate" are too hard to spell.

    That is nice that you have a little one on the way. What i have never figured out though is - How are babies made in the first place?
  25. Bakon, "flu" is not the past tense of "to fly" "Flyed'ed" is the word you want
