I love Halifax.. beautiful city :)

I learned today that quitting smoking is going to be harder than I thought, because the zyban makes me shaky and out of sorts, so I'm not taking it properly.....

I learned that GT is trying to quit smoking. Good luck with that, it is hard. The zyban screwed me up to much to be effective. The best aid I found was the inhalor but I also found you have to really want to quit. I guess I haven't hit that part yet, but someday.

I think you're right thishereboi. I think you have to really want to quit. Cigarette tax is outrageous in fla, so maybe GreedyTop has her motivation, maybenot, I don't know. For what its worth though, and despite all the negative claims about Chantix. It did the trick for me. And not once did I feel depressed or like killing myself. lol. Just made me feel like....'hey, I think I can do this!' (and I did)

That one should never split a bill with a roommate without making damned sure they are paying their share, even if the bill is in their name.
That your kid will end up in the hospital at the most inconvenient time possible, both time of day wise and financial situation wise (I really could NOT afford to take off the day I had to)
That there's a reason my friend gave me that old big screen TV....the volume doesn't work

That truth is the quickest way to freedom, and that truth to yourself and acceptance of yourself are among the hardest things to learn. But what a rollercoaster ride it makes.

I learned that everything my parents taught me about what was just, decent, proper, civil, and sustaining for humanity, self, nation, and world must have been wrong -- or maybe I learned that I'm just living in a reality that doesn't work for me. (Unusually morose right now)
