Good advice and that applies to when you're driving your cage as well.... I should heed this! Wife and I driving the cage to work today...dumb chit decides he needs into my lane so puts on his blinker and cuts me off...as if I noticed his blinker in time...left no time for me to back off and let him in....I had to slam on the brakes. So .... road rage takes over in me... I change lanes, shoot ahead of him and then without signalling, I cut in front of him and then hit the brakes. He has to really slam on his brakes to avoid me. That was the end of it. Boy!! did I FIX HIS WAGON! yessirreee bob! DUMB...DUMB...DUMB ME! I feel so stupid and so lucky that he never creamed me in the rear or something worse like maybe pulling out a gun and shooting me or maybe me losing control and head-on into oncoming traffic. My wife wasn't pleased.... NEVER will I let road rage take over me again! nosirree.... (now where is that 45 of mine?) ooops, got carried away there... Jimbob, glad you're OK and still with us... hope both you and the bike heal quick.

What unmarked cars are they using in your state
SilvrT replied to muffinman's topic in Watering Hole
You can never tell what they are using here coz it varies from new vehicles to older ones. It can be a van or a chevvy 4x4 or a Lincoln whatchamacallit or it can be an older car of some kind. They getcha eventually! -
What about pot?

CRAP!!! I never thought of that! .... guess it's too late now huh?

Thanks ! One thing I stopped doing several years ago is smoke in the house so don't have that problem of everything yellow.

Pretty much all public buildings, etc are legislated smoke free here in Canada with some exceptions such as pubs. They can have "smoke rooms" but there are stringent rules on how those rooms are built. Several pubs have outside areas where smokers go and now they (the government bodies, etc) are pushing to make those areas smoke free also. They are even pushing to stop smokers from hanging around the entrances to public places while they smoke. Cartons of cigs here cost at least $70. & up depending on brand and where you buy them. Wasn't long ago I went through a carton a week easy just myself. I expect to save close to $300 a month... wife will save about half that. wwwooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Following is taken from http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/smoking/medicines_000500.htm What is Champix? Champix is a prescription-only medicine. Launched in December 2006, the tablets contain the active ingredient varenicline. Varenicline works by: stimulating the same receptors in the brain as nicotine. This relieves the craving and withdrawal symptoms that you can get when you stop smoking. blocking nicotine's action on these receptors. This means you won't get any enjoyable effect from nicotine if you do have a cigarette. Pros and cons Like Zyban, Champix is an alternative to NRT and doesn't contain nicotine. In clinical trials reported so far, more people have quit successfully with Champix than with Zyban. Champix has not yet been compared to NRT. On the negative side, some people found that after they stopped taking Champix: the urge to smoke returned they felt irritable they felt depressed they had sleeping difficulties. Gradually lowering the dose at the end of treatment may help to reduce these problems. Like all medicines, Champix has side-effects, which may put some people off using it. There are also some people who aren't suitable for this type of treatment. How to use Champix Champix is only available on prescription, so your GP will decide whether you are suitable for treatment. As with Zyban, Champix must be used in combination with motivational support techniques. Champix tablets should be started one to two weeks before your target stop date. The dose is increased gradually over the first week and the medicine is then taken twice a day for 12 weeks. If you have successfully managed to stop smoking at the end of 12 weeks, your doctor may offer you a further 12-week course of treatment. This has been shown to slightly increase the chance of remaining smoke-free after one year. Side-effects of Champix Nausea is the most common side-effect, usually in the first few weeks of treatment. It should improve as you continue to take the tablets. Other common side-effects include headache, difficulty sleeping, abnormal dreams, increased appetite, taste changes, dry mouth, drowsiness, tiredness, dizziness, and gut disturbances such as constipation, diarrhoea or indigestion.

...is intended to be used in combination with quit-smoking education and counselling. It works in the brain to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It also decreases the pleasure that people get from smoking. Above is a quote from http://chealth.canoe.ca/drug_info_details.asp?brand_name_id=4615&rot=4

Thank you all for the support and encouragement in this. It is a big help!

Frankly, I'm kinda leaning this way now. It's almost liike I'm forcing myself to smoke now just to keep going on my "plan" to end it on "butt out" day.

I'd been noticing that my wife's energy levels had been quite low for a couple month's and she'd often feel sick. Between myself and her daughter we convinced her to go see the doc. She didn't realize just how bad it was. Anyway, seems her blood pressure was very high...dangerous even. The doc told her to quit smoking NOW! ... She didn't smoke a lot to begin with but like you, in solidarity, I decided I would quit also. Not just in solidarity for her but for me as well as I knew it was something I HAD TO DO sooner or later. Now is the time. So sorry for your loss Alex. this thing with my wife scared the crap outta me.

WOW!! thanks!! the support in here is awesome!!

There's a new drug out now called Champix. From all I've heard, it's pretty good. I did the zyban (not sure if that's correct spelling) the last time. These 2 drugs are totally different. The key is and it's evident in all the post in here, is you have to set your mind to it and be determined. You have to see yourself as a non-smoker. It's really a mind over matter thing. The drugs, the patch, the support groups, they are all there to help but if you haven't set your mind to it, it won't work.

You're on the new pill called Champix? That's what I'm taking.
-
I doubt I'll have any issues with that. I'm a "small boned" person with a high metabolism. I've nver weighed more than 165 in my entire life and generally have been at 150-155 since I was in my teens. When I got to 165, I was 35, working in a sawmill piling green lumber and eating like 2 horses plus, I was working out regularly.
-
KINKY!!! LOL Actually, I stopped for about 8 month's back in 1999. Did the pill / patch thing. Yes, the first week or so were tough but I was determined... just like I am now... and after not a very long time, I was quite ok with it. As of my current age, I have been smoking for 46 years. Gawd!!!! that's sickening! And yes, they say quitting smoking, especially after you've been doing it for many years, is harder than kicking any such habit. So, having said that, why do we have all these "goody-goody's" setting up "safe shoot up" clinics for all the druggies instead of getting them off the drugs? (oh no...another political subject...forget I mentioned it)

Thanks!!! ... the savings will go towards buying a new scoot (prolly a 2nd gen! Now, I know I will get ribbed about this!) wwoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I know this is a forum for topics related to motorcycles -but- seems there's a lot more of just plain old "communication" going on as well so..... I'm quitting smoking! I have set a "butt out" date of next Tuesday. I am on the pills (there's a new product out now) and I've reduced my smoking from a pack a day to less than 1/2 pack a day within 2 weeks. Anyone out there gone through this or going through this? Any comments / suggestions / or just plain old "communicating" about it you'd like to post?

I was married to my 2nd wife for 28 years. One of the problems about "growing on each other" is that if and/or when you discover that, even though there's love between you, you're holding each other back from being who you really are, it's extremely difficult to face the reality that going your separate ways is the best thing for both. It took 5 years of those 28 for us to face up to that. We're now divorced, good friends, and very happy in our own separate lives. She lives alone and likes it that way, I've remarried. For those who go 25, 30, or more years together and are still happy...truly happy... congrats to you all! It's a rare thing nowadays.

Canada doesn't appear on their list of international packages. I'm pretty certain the CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) is controlling this. From my perspective, it limits the amount of competition and such things that are government controlled this way are but one of the reason's many things in Canada cost more. But, now we're into politics and we don't want to go there....so, let's not!

As for satellite TV, we have 2 legally authorized providers (I believe this is still correct). StarChoice & ExpressVue. Unfortunately, Canada isn't as "open" as the USA. Anyone can correct me on this if I'm out of date. Cable TV providers is as bad. I may be wrong but I believe there are only 2 providers in this area and 1 of them only services certain locations.

This came across my desk from a co-worker who got it from the Director of Information Services at ****** (not at liberty to disclose) ... Just a "heads up"...and I don't have the attachment(s) referred to... Ebay fraud (Phishing Scam) - please refer to the attached email seen below .......... I am passing along this attempted email fraud (phishing expedition) onto "All Subscribers" such that all are made aware of the types of email frauds that one may receive. This particular one is an an attempt being made to fool one into divulging their personal information. In the following attachment letter 'invoice' seen below, it indicates to the receiver that they have purchased an item from eBay. By clicking on the link - it brings you to a 'look alike' eBay page where it requests that you enter your eBay Username and Password. Once you do this, the scammers, store this information and now have access to your eBay account where they can buy and sell under your name, leaving you to clean up the mess. In addition they most lilley will harvest any monies in your PayPal account if they can get that as well. It is interesting to note that if you click on the Link in the attachment below 'Guess Red Signs Handbag Purse & ........ it links to: http://www.traveldelhi.com/ufiles/default.htm?213rjceirjqexr98rdlkmsanch frinvc58ucrdjkxnerimjgtmxkjnzmhrugt45ncoirehviuhtrckm45x You will notice that address above denotes www.traveldelhi.com It is a web site located in India - IT DOES NOT SAY 'eBay'. When you click on a link of anything you may feel is suspicious - it is advisable "LOOK" to see what site it is really referencing. In this case it is not www.ebay.com So please be cautious when receiving any such emails - when in doubt- do not to click on the link - but simply bring up your Browser and enter the address such as www.ebay.com and check things out that way.

HA!!!... not around here. $488 for a basic HD "box" plus additional $29.95/month for basic HD TV channels and for about $40/month, I can get the whole enchalada (all available HD channels)! And, I believe this is ON TOP of what you already pay for regular cable TV.
