Kalekona | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 04:17 pm     I will say the hard part for many smokers is the "can't" effect. If you can't have one you want one more.. That's why i think it's easier to quit if i still have a pack somewhere and choose not to smoke them than to know there are none, then my mind panics and whats it more. |
Texasdeb | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 04:26 pm     Oh yes - the panic! Kind of like when you smoke your last one & know it'll be awhile before you can go buy more (like 5 min.) he,he,he.... |
Pamy | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 05:30 pm     Has he said anything about smoking yet? It has been awhile since his last cig. |
Cinder | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Robert is upset because apparently he said when he leaves the house he will still be a "social" smoker. I hear Robert talking to Erika about it and Rob doesn't understand why he would still smoke because he can quit and his dad died from lung cancer. Gotta hand it to Rob. He know he can't be a "social" drinker. |
Texasdeb | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 05:40 pm     I want Rob to go final 4 with the girls. Each "person" for themselves at that point. (just NO Ali win!). |
Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 05:55 pm     Jee will need a cigarette come Wednesday if the votes go the way the girls are planing for them to go.  |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:09 pm     Glad to see some of the top quality posters joining the Jun fan club (been with her here since day 1) |
Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:11 pm     Sean, did you mean to post your above post in the Jun fan club thread ? |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:32 pm     No, there are some references earlier to people coming around to my point of view, so that's why I posted there; I've never been to her fan club site -- much more interested in conflicting opinions |
Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:34 pm     No Sean not her fan club site but her fan thread. Jun has a fan thread here. ? You never saw it ? |
Mssideshow | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:38 pm     I was a casual smoker (smoke a whole pack one day and one ciggie the next, the next day maybe none, it all depended on my mood) and quitting was absolutely no problem for me. The most addictive part for most smokers is the certain time of day ciggies. If Jee is as casual as it sounds quitting should be a piece of cake. |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Every few minutes in the live feeds it's reported that Jee wishes he could have a cigarette. |
Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:47 pm     Yes Beruthiel, Jee is craving and it has not even gotten bad yet. Can you imagine how much he is going to really crave a cig on Wednesday after the eviction. But this is a good time for him not to have cigarette since he is the reason why the HG's are on PB&J. He should suffer like they are. |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:50 pm     I totally agree! |
Lisad | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:56 pm     Jee brought this upon himself. Serves him right. Pretty darned stupid to not stock up for the house & plan better. Would have been pretty simple to do, wouldn't it. Doesn't take up much room. Again "What was he thinking"? Could we get some more mature people in the house next year please?! |
Tishala | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 07:05 pm     I wish Jee all the luck in the world. I quit last September 22nd--with the help of Wellbutrin--and I hope Jee can succeed also. Happily the physical withdrawl only lasts a few days and after that it is a really mental game. If he makes it through Tuesday, he will be fine physically. |

Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 09:37 pm     Oh my listen to how snippy Jee is getting, he just told Robert he is tired of the other HG's, tired of hearing the same s*** they talk about. Lack of cigarettes must be getting to him, he is sounding like Robert now. Robert is loving this, he is giddy with laughter. Now Jee is talking bad about Jun, wants Jun out next after Erika. |
Whit4you | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:09 pm     As a smoker I have absolutely no sympathy for Jee and his whining and complaining make me reallly disgusted with him. He knew how long he might be in that house, and unless he's a total idiot he'd know how many cigs he'd need to last the duration. Choosing to quit smoking and taking it out on a house full of strangers is really not a bright idea. He's made this choice he needs to just keep his mouth shut about it. Everyone in that house is going without alot of things they'd like to have, and he's going without cigs simply because he choose not to bring enough cigs in. I hope this idiotic choice costs him half a million bucks - cause anyone who's not bright enough to figure out their irritability and whining and so on cause THEY choose not to bring enough cigs - doesn't deserve to win. I sat and watched him say over and over and over that he would be eating p b & j all week along with the others - what a liar. As a smoker I can tell you - I would have brought enough cigs to last me, I'd even plan ahead figuring on the nights I'd smoke more cause of drinking... then I'd add in another 4 to 6 packs for good measure. I guarantee you if I didn't bring enough cigs I sure wouldn't be whining about it to others. DUH. |
Bluejaxrock | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Being in the BB house is sorta like being locked-up...the HG's have better food and can wander around a larger area (sometimes) but prisoners have access to the outside world. (I'd rather be locked up, at least there I know what kind of low-life I'm dealing with.) In that context, I would bring in twice the amount I usually smoke, and then use my cigs for bartering chips. "OK, Jee...you don't put me up, and I'll give you (insert #) cigs." Or, "Jee, if you'd just get Ali/Jun/Robert out of here, I'll give you a whole pack." LOL, works in the big-house. |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:06 pm     Bunky stayed quite a while on the ciggerette barter system with Hardy...lol |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 04:37 am     Whit, you never spoke a truer word. I ALWAYS have enough cigarettes for my needs, and then some. Jee is a ninny! |
Phoebemonica28 | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 05:27 am     In college, I'd carry a pack of cigs and a lighter with me, and I didn't smoke. I had them on me so that I'd be able to pass one or two on to someone who'd run out mid-day or mid-party. It made me some very helpful connections, actually! No one's more appreciative and ready to return a favor than a smoker who ran out of cigs during finals week and is stuck at the library studying... LOL |
Puzzled | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 08:38 am     He doesn't have enough self-control to keep his word about the PB&J, so how the heck is he going to quit smoking? |
