So good that there is a thread where I can test, if I can post again.
Got that nasty message "You are not allowed to use the ..reply.php on this server.


Hi Danziel! Glad to help. :) And just for posting here:

that's one thing i won't even make jokes about in SL. i am so anti-drug anti-smoking that i can never find it funny - even as a spoof.

tobacco kills - ever so slowly and painfully. :(

I won't even pretend in SL but that is because I smoked for 35 yrs (grew up in a rough neighborhood, started at the age of 10) -- have now been quit for 15 months.

fyi...I don't smoke. Hate it actually.

There was a pose against a wall there that was an iconic 'smoker' pose. I remembered that my "bad boy" santa costume came with a cigarette, so I wore it for the pic.

Back to the beach.....:D
What I want to see is someone apply with a 60 second SL machinima voiced over.

Sorry had to rub it in



Thanks for the rub ;)

Actually, I lived in Florida for 10 years but found I missed the change of seasons, so moved back up north...may be regretting that decision :D

Congratulations! It's a wonderful accomplishment. One of the hardest and very best things anyone can do.

Two important components seem to be 1. Somehow accept and endure the discomfort. 2. Really desire the wonderful end result. I wish I had magic words to help you, Konu. You do have my heartfelt best wishes.

Lol. My cats know they aren't supposed to be on the counters - when humans are in the kitchen. I just realized this picture was taken at the vet's. My cats hate going there - they try to slink under the big scales. And Jadzia starts projectile shedding.



It's been like summer here this week the high yesterday at 3 PM was 78.1f (25.6c). The low last night at 5 AM was 53.1f (11.7c). Right now it's clear and sunny and warming up quickly.

Congratulations to you two. I understand it's one of the hardest habits to kick, and I commend you both.

When does the gorean hunt end? I fizzled half way through. I started unpacking the items, and didn't find much to keep. Is there anything particularly noteworthy in the second half?

TY, I am proud of myself also...really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Even though I never smoked in the house or car, it is nice not having to step out into horrrid weather for a smoke and the $$$$ factor...have lots of pocket money now :D

I served twice. I figure that's enough. Here in Jersey, you don't even get enough to park your car for the day.


I only got called to serve once. Had my boss write a letter stating I it would be a hardship to let me be out of the office for any extended period of time. End of jury duty. That was several years ago and I haven't heard from them since.

And yea, NJ is awful for allowances, hence the reason I asked him to do this for me. No way could I afford to lose my pay for even a day. Small company, that couldn't afford to pay me for any extra days out on their own either, I would have had to use vacation days to cover it - NOT.

Good afternoon, or not.

Woke up with a migraine, blah. Me and 3Ring and I know a few others of you deal with this and it sure isn't any fun. Slowly getting rid of it, but it's been an unpleasant morning hence me just arriving here.

I took this picture at the Hotel Dare about a month or so ago the last time 3Ring was complaining about her headaches. Was going to post it for her but forgot so now I'll take my own advice (which I already did). BTW, the Hotel Dare is now gone, sadly. What a great build/shopping area that was.

And you have a much brighter future. I spent a summer working with ambulance crews. 25%-30% of our calls were to people in distress because of smoking related lung problems. A lot of them still couldn't quit. They had an oxygen tank in the corner and a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table. Never being able to take a decent breath of air...

Ouch. I hope you feel really good really soon. I just got off the phone 5 minutes ago from making an appointment with the neurology department at my hmo to try to get some new ideas for coping with my headaches.

I hope you feel better soon. Migraines are no fun at all.

Congrats Lil- been smoke free for nigh on three years now after smoking for about 30 myself :(

Put them down before they put you down. Husband spent 1 week in intensive care for a stroke almost three years ago- he quit because someone died in the room next to him and he had nightmares that the heart monitor flatlining he heard was his. I had to quit then since it would hardly be fair for him to quit and I keep smoking.

Get a prescription for Chantix (google it to see how it works). If insurance does not cover it, it will cost you $100-$125 a month, but it is soooooo worth it. I had quit 4 times before, using various methods and never made it past the 6 month point. I truly never think of cigs and the smell of it is actually not appealing this time around -- unlike all of my other quit attempts.

I finished it yesterday, but have not unpacked everything yet. I'll do a quick scan today and let you know if it is worth it.

Everything from around 15 or so is just about an entire sim for each stop and the flowers all stay tiny.
