In support of 1st genners, I have had several occasions where folks have thought my 20 yr old scoot was new or near new and were absolutely aghast that it is 20 yrs old. I had one guy do a double-take like I've never seen before... then he started inspecting the bike closely obviously in an attemt to disprove me telling him it was 20 yrs old... he just couldn't believe it! OK you 2nd genners.... top that! :witch_brew: :rotf:

LOL... one thing my wife and I are noticing is our timing of things is way off. Our routine in the morning WAS... get up, grab a coffee, go out on the deck and drink that coffee, maybe even another while we smoked one or 2 cigs each...well, at least I did. Then head for the shower, get dressed, grab another coffee and a smoke, have brekkie, jump in the car, have another smoke or 2 on the way to work. We'd get up at 5:30 and hit the road by about 7. Now, we get up..she hits the shower right away, I grab 1/2 cuppa coffee...down a few gulps and hit the shower. She doesn't smoke at all in the morning. We both get dressed then I get a bit more coffee and have 2 or 3 puffs. We then have brekkie and.... hey!!! we're 1/2 hour ahead of ourselves...it's 6:30! what do we do now for 1/2 hour! Time to change the alarm and sleep an extra 1/2 hr! She doesn't smoke all day until she gets home. I've cut down to 3 or 4 cigs from first getting up to arriving home after work. I'll then have maybe another 2 before bed time. Each day I am cutting down a bit more so that by next Monday (Tuesday is butt out day), I will be pretty much off the cigs all together and have slowly changed my habits. The pills are starting to work because I am getting at least one of the side effects. I had some of the wildest dreams last night EVER! LOL

Has Anyone Cleaned Out Their Collectors?
SilvrT replied to 86er's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Very cool! yup! -
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.
