I'll disagree on nicotine being delicious.
I've tried smoking but it just didn't do anything for me, at all.

I'd post the thumbs up smiley if I could. :D

Couldn't help but wonder though, is it really possible to derail a thread about nothing?

Today, I`m afraid. As hell. After 1 month banging my head on the keyboard at work, cause nothing was going as it should, somehow, as a freaking miracle, everything started to work. Everybody is giving the right answers, everything checks with the database, no bugs, no code errors, no nothing.
Im afraid to woke up any minute. Or, worse, to meet karma around the corner. I bet my house is, right now, in flames. Its the only way for this to be possible.

Well, it turns out I'm going on a mini no-smoking trip from this afternoon till Saturday as I'll be camping out at the ex's for a few days. The limited internet means WoW is not a serious option but I do have stuff I should be doing anyway. The no-smoking aspect will be rough but maybe I can extend it after I return home.

As for driving... I haven't had a license since 99 or so. Which was a ***** when I lived on the mainland but out here they have a great bus system so I barely notice it at all. Even though I live in the country. I have most of the paper work needed to get it cleared but since I would need to get extra insurance for it to happen I am holding off as I wont be buying a car anytime soon anyway.

Johnny Cash!
Seriously awesome music.


Also, avatars and smilies and supporting Zam are worth getting premium.
Or more like I won a year of free premium and then not having it is annoying enough that I paid for a new year. :P

As your friendly neighbourhood Druid Pharmacist I can tell you that there is a new (in Australia anyway) tablet out for quitting smoking which I have had a lot of good feedback on from my customers. Here it is called Champix and the medication in it is called Varenicline. Just throwing it out there :)


Also, talking about cars - less than 4 months till my RS6 arrives!!! Such a long time to wait :(

I could get Champix for free here, but when I first got my inhaler, I couldn't. It was about €100 for a small pack, or something insane like that.
That being said, I wouldn't want to risk taking it with my history. I mean, just the normal nicotine detox without the side effects of that stuff is leaving my in a half psychotic state of mind and I'm pretty sure if Aeth wasn't there for me with his incredibly calming personality at least a bit of the time, I'd have started taking antipsychotics this morning.
I haven't needed any medication in a long time but I really feel close to needing some now. I get epileptic seizures when I'm too stressed out and upset. I'm still far enough away from one to justify not taking any meds but as I said, I think Aeth has done quite a bit to help me with that. He's pretty much the only person who doesn't annoy the **** out of me right now.

So, thank you Aethien for being there when I need a quiet, calming person around. :)


As for premium, seeing how this whole quitting smoking endeavour is partly because I'm completely skint, I can't afford anything at the moment but I'll get it again as soon as finances allow. After I've bought Wrath of the Lich King, lol. I will do that next week, though. Hopefully I'll get some money from Germany soon.


And I still haven't e-mailed my brother about his new offspring.

I used to love beer when I was a teenager. I stopped drinking when I met my wife (I was already trying to kick that habit since it cost me a lot back then). These days I drink in moderation, but can't stand the taste of most beers- I prefer ciders now, or mixed beverages like Twisted Teas, Mike's Hard Lemonade or mojitos. As for smoking, when you smoke you love the feel, the smoky flavour - but as someone who gave it up, I think it smells worse to a reformed / recovered smoker than it does to someone who never smoked at all (kind of like how born-again Christians are so annoyingly pushy about it).

When the three smokers come back into the office from a break, they always drag in that dead-burning-cat stench with them, and I fricking hate that when it's a small office.

Oh, and Mum is from Liverpool, so I was practically weaned on tea. To me, tea is for any time of day, but I've come to regard my morning coffee as the nectar of the Gods. Without it, I would not function. English breakfast after lunch, Earl Grey in the evenings, ginger or mint tea when I'm not feeling well, chamomile or decaf Earl Grey before bed.

I don't eat solid food until around 1 or 2 PM these days. I'm such a nocturnal I just need to get as much sleep as possible before the clock pulls me out of my dreams. I'm not the kind of guy who gets up at 5 AM, takes a shower, eats a solid breakfast, does homeworks and watches some television before leaving for work/school. I'm the kind of guy who sets his alarm to 10 minutes before he has to be out of the door.

Anyway, coffee and cigarettes for breakfast, thin air and another cigarette for lunch and then a solid second lunch when I get home. Late dinner, sometimes bordering to midnight snacks.

Yeah, I'll probably die as a 32-year-old. Been a good run, though.

If even liquids hurt I'd get it checked out. Sounds an awful lot like a stomach ulcer, friend of mine had one like that but caught it early enough that it was treatable with over-the-counter stuff and without heavy dietary restrictions or repeat visits.

Gastritis, what the heck is that? Sounds like a stomach ulcer gone bad from what I've read in the dictionary.

Rapid weight loss does indeed sound fun. Unfortunately I was born with one of those bodies that doesn't change - at all. Whether I stop eating, eat too much or go bodybuilding, I still look the same. Hence why I've had to train myself into the charming personality that I am today.

No, seriously, it sucks. I did some serious workout for a year and nothing happened. Now, barely a year later, living off of cigarettes and coffee, I still look the same.

I think my metabolism died somewhere in high school.

Posting this from the Hunter forum because it's epic enough:



Someone pass that guy a beer!

I don't know, the combination doesn't sound what I'd allow myself every morning.

As for my metabolism, it's kind of meh. I've basically been on this crazy diet for 4 months at least, and while I did lose 5 kilos in one fortnight in late November/early December, I should be down to 55kg or so by now. No logic there. I've also had times where I ate 5+ large bags of crisps a day, drank only coke and still lost weight. When I work out, I injure myself very easily. I think I shouldn't risk accidentally doing this after not stretching for years, haha.

And gastritis just literally means an inflamed stomach. It's much less dramatic than a stomach ulcer but hurts nearly as much, and can develop into one if untreated.


Aeth, are we gonna play tonight? :(
