Well I guess the dots aren't connecting tonite cause I don't see how the word Nicodemon is somehow babytalk????? to me its just a ghost who screws with your quit.

Beth, you should give yourself more credit. Nicodemon or not, you made the decision to quit, you are the one that has maintained it, and you are the one that says no to the urges. See your own strength for what it is. :)

I figured out how to use the like button.

My big adventure today was falling off a bike and going BOOM on the grass. I have skinned knees and a bruise on a part I will not mention. I was so humiliated- it happened at a work retreat.

I gave up on bikes. They don't like me.

I was planning a long bike trek from LA to San Diego with a bunch of guys and we were doing some "shake down" trips to get ready. I had just taken my bike in to get the brakes worked on so I thought everything was in working order. I started going down the on ramp to the highway, fairly steep, going fast, enjoying the wind in my face, front wheel falls off... The rest is really fuzzy... I think I said a naughty word...

Gee that sounds painful. I don't remember the last time I was on a bike.

Yeah...

My helmet basically exploded, but it saved my life. All told is was about 40 stitches in various locations on my face. I apparently didn't let go of my handlebars after the "white out", so both of my wrists were sprained... Hands looked like hamburger. Basically the only thing that didn't hurt or get scraped up was my legs. You know what hurt more though? The damn nurses scrubbing my already raw skin with what felt like sandpaper or steel wool...

I didn't get on a bike again for another couple of years.

I went mountain biking, went off a jump, hit some gravel and slid out. I put my hand out to "cushion" my fall and hit a sharp rock. It cut through my glove and left me with a 2" gash on the fatty part of the palm. I'm not squeamish around blood, but there's just something about fat and tendons mixed with blood that's a bit off-putting.

Oh no...I am so sorry. I once got my shoe laces caught in my spokes and the bike stopped dead and I went right over then handle bars. I was alone and humiliated so I can only imagine.

Shannon, she smokes almost a pack a day - keep in mind that our packs have 25 cigarettes in them. I think she wants it to look like a cigarette - she is just so desperate to be done. I felt horrible because she told me she was so envious of me and I wish she didn't feel like that.

I can help her out Mel - no problem - I'll send you or her a pm with a bunch of info about Canadian vendors - what kind she can buy here (something cigarette like) and where she can get ejuice.

Just say the word and I'm on it.

She can also come over to the Canadian subforum - there's a whole bunch of crazy Canucks on here!

This thread has ruined at least a few nights in a row.... not because of the controversy or negativity that has been heaped upon us (you) by others. No... by Strawberry Shortcake and the severe lack-of when it comes to BEING IN MY KITCHEN. Grr. -Magnus

I'm going "home" tomorrow I will try to get Mom to make some. I bet if I buy some strawberries ...........

And it sounds like you were in the middle of nowhere. That would be awful.
