I quit smoking.. is that bad?
But seriously, although I have a strong sense of responsibility to follow through when I commit to doing something... I think everyone has to make that decision for themselves. I do not think that Kearie should have created that banner with Vykin and Tali's name on it (because she thought Vykin should quit also).. that decision was Vykin's and Vykin's only... but I do think she and Mantastic had every right to quit if they wanted to.

Norwican: How did you quit smoking? PUHLEEZE don't tell me cold turkey. I can't do that. Haven't had a drink in eight years. Quit cold turkey, didn't even go to any groups. But them butts. They got me. Whaddya do to quit? Did you throttle any one close to you? I'm running out of friends that can be around me when I try to quit. Even my dog ran away one time. Help!

its almost my last one, honest!

Vasix, Nicorette gum worked for me... tastes like crap... but it worked! I had tried several times before, and like you... my family and friends went scurrying off like rats due to my mood. I then tried the "patch" and that worked until I took it off! The gum really helped alot because you can control how much you use.
Good luck to you!

Those of you who are saying cheaters never win, is that because you think if you break the rules and aren't caught you didn't cheat? If so, I think that idea is warped in itself. Cheater don't always win, but they do win and obviously everytime they do that is one more time that they should have.

Vasix. Nicorette now comes in mint flavor. It tastes good and like any other mint gum. There is no hint of the original flavor. I just bought some and tried it. I actually prefer the original taste. Something about KNOWING there is nicotine in there I guess.

I tried the patch. All I wanted to do was rip it off and suck it everytime I wanted a cigarette. It did nothing more thatn keep me awake all night.

The beauty of the gum is that you can actively DO something about the craving and the nicotine in the gum really DOES take the urge away. I'm going to start soon. When are you going to do it? I'm warming up here.

Lance,

You've heard the phrase about "being on one side of the fence or the other"?

I think everyone in this world should stand on the fence. Everyone would be safe and nobody would get muddy, don't you agree?

As for quitting, I think when anything causes a person some discomfort then they should quit immediately. In fact, people should quit more often because they would be a lot happier and more relaxed.

Guru, if you took the time to read the discussion areas objectievely (and a few other places where I answer questions), I think you will find I took stances on many issues. Of course admitting that would show that you are wrong, and you just can't have that.

And so far on the other thread where I asked you to address a couple of points with onjective evidence, you didn't.

Does that infuriate you? I can't picture Roger Ramjet blowing an O-Ring.

Well Guru it is possible to disagree without using inflammatory comments. Does that fact infuriate you?

The problem is that a stance to Guru is not a stance on an issue. It has to do with "taking sandpaper to an emotional issue". If you don't take sides and keep the issue raw but rather try to smooth it down that is not taking a stance. I believe that is the kind of stance/action that Guru wanted to see. Right Guru? (Better keep a hand on that hat, it might blow away.)

Guru, no it doesn't infuriate me..,just provides data points about the value of what you have to say.

Your choice to be abjective and base what you say on what was said in the game (or on these posts), or not be. I've agreed with some of your posts, and disagreed with others--just like everyone else's posts.

I am curious if you can communicate without name calling of those who don't agree with you. Or must a person use name calling be to able to claim they are on one side of the fence or the other?

No, WCV, do you think it's infuriated me over a month? huh huh


Lance, your response will be addressed in your Magoo thread.
