Admittedly, I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi. I used to be so snobby about it too, but I've gotten better over the years (or at least I hope I have).

I'm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Here, we can't smoke inside public spaces or in workplaces. Smokers aren't allowed to smoke near entrances and have to be a specific distance away. No retail displays of cigarettes are allowed. I Wikipedia'd it because I couldn't remember all the restrictions, lol: Since 21 January 2009, smoking is banned in all vehicles if anyone under the age of 16 is present. In Ottawa, on Feb 22, 2012, a bylaw came into effect in which smoking is prohibited on all municipal properties, including parks, playgrounds, beaches, sports fields, fruit and vegetable markets and outdoor areas around City facilities; and Outdoor restaurant and bar patios and terraces. Enforcement will commence on July 2, 2012, resulting in a fine of up to $300. Hamilton banned smoking on all municipal properties, including parks, playgrounds, beaches, sports fields on May 31, 2012. Any person who contravenes a provision of this By-law is guilty of an offence and upon conviction is liable to a maximum fine of $10,000.00.

Very wise words indeed! Nice to see you as always Markus. :)

That's right. Second by second, minute by minute, day by day. Congrats on completing your first day! Doesn't matter how you do it -- just as long as you stay quit. :)

Stuck in my head:

That poor guy, lol.

Oh HM, I'm so sorry for your loss. :( My heart is breaking for you -- I can only imagine what you're going through. Big hugs your way! Thinking of you and your family.

Yes, no spoilers, but have fun! :D

Waht?

Babs, he's your baby. It's normal to be upset and worried. I am not a parent (as of yet), so I can only imagine what you're going through. My mom was always worried about me and would still be if she were around today. I believe it's only natural. I think he will learn a lot and grow as a person from the training. People only remember and dwell on the bad stuff, so try not to let them get to you. Hugs.

Such a good example of how "social smoking" is such a ridiculous excuse to smoke. Or there are those people who smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day. Honestly, if you're only smoking 1-2, you should quit! Does nothing for you.

I would love to hear from these members again. I really am worried about TAC and Rachael. Hope everything's OK with them.

Here! Not posting as much because of school.

Awesome news Beth! Glad it's improving for you, all because of the changes you've made. That's truly awesome. :)

Looking good as always Petra. :) Change is usually nice.

Being active is a great idea! I know I'm not one to talk since I haven't been posting much, but staying close to the boards can and does really help. :)

Couldn't help but share this one of Mikey. I'm a little biased, but he's so cute.

Hey Steel. Good to see you and welcome! :)

Oh, and chin-wag!

I'm totally using "Up The Duff." I like that better than "bun in the oven."

I do it for the lols....

I don't really know who this is, but the fact that he sexually assaulted a child (or anyone for that matter) makes me sick! Disgusting. Poor kid(s). :(

Oh, awesome! Congrats on your six months DD. :) You're doing amazingly. :) Go you!

Hey Gem, Congrats on your 10 months! So proud of you. :) KTQ and WTG!
