Haha that's right sanneke, I was just being silly :P

I'm trying my best to avoid cigarettes altogether, not because it's easier - but because I want to see how I feel having had no cigarettes whatsoever for a long period of time.

I voted no cigarettes since e-smoking, which is true.
But I do take a hit off my friend's cigarette every 1-2 days. Just for fun so I can say "Ewww that tastes like crap!" and tell him he's nasty.
It's kinda become a ritual. Ha!

I find myself wanting a cigarette a few times a day. Pretty bad too. I'm not sure what to do about it so I just smoke my e-cig till it goes away.
I'd like to have 1-2 real cigs a day actually, but I don't think I'd be able to do that. I'd probably end up smoking more and more until I'm half and half or worse. So until I fall over from not having a real cig, I'll stick to the e-cig and the occasional cigar.

I voted sometimes but I'm free of tobacco since friday afternoon. Got some eye surgery coming up at the start of august so I want the house as particulate free as possible. Evil T-Bob is tempting me with Snus and I'm voting the Huck Finn ticket on that one:

I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself, "All right, then, I'll GO to hell.

You having laser eye surgery emp ?

TheEmperorOfIceCream · 07-15-2008, 08:25 PM

yup, been following the tech for the last twenty years, waiting for two things to be true:

a) Acceptance by Moorfields Eye Hospital as valid treatment
b) No exploding eyeballs for a period comparable to the length of time I'm likely to need mine

well, Moorfields started doing the surgery a few years back and there have been no major issues with the process. It's mature enough for me to go for it.

hey Emp,keep us informed,i was thinking about going for that.whats your prescription?

TheEmperorOfIceCream · 07-15-2008, 08:48 PM

God knows, haven't been tested for years, but it's double figures. I would have been on the cusp for treatment even a year or two ago, but it's fine now. The kicker is corneal thickness. There has to be enough tissue to allow the treatment. In keeping with the rest of my head, I appear to have very thick corneas.
