With recent deliver times ..... gotta say, False! Next person has a wooden leg? (Hey, ya never know if ya don't ask - right?)OK; guess I'll seal the deal 20RIP Chris Cornell; lead singer Audio Slave. Death by suicide May 18, 2017NOPE!13 Seems ..... nothing's working chicks 😗Yup! Can't fix stupid. There's a lot of this going around actually> there's even a scientific study about it 😏 By Andy Borowitz MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports. The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them. “These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.” More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.” While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said. While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.10 Should be clear sailing now sticks. Think we have broken their will!Congrats JQ!! Hardest week of all is behind you and you have been building a tool box that will be critical to ensuring a life long quit. Nice Job!Look at YOU JohnQ! A week in already. That's huge!! Hell week Done!Hey Jeff! I'll take the liberty of stating what I think the intention of that statement about anything less than 100% commitment was: It was meant to make you think about where your true allegiances are: continuing to smoke or truly wanting to be quit. I was never 100 % sure until sometime into my 7th month if I was truly committed enough to quit. I just hung onto the belief that I could and sometimes against all odds. Then one day, for reasons unknown to me still, I just knew I had the addiction beat! That was an important day for me. After that, unless I do something really dumb, I know I will never smoke again. Don't ever give up on yourself because of what someone else says or writes! Give it your best effort and always remember the reasons you quit in the first place. Those reasons don't change - ever!5 Years Smoke Free ................. great achievement Raj!!!
That's the way it's done Nana20!! Congrats! Git yer fight on against that Nicodemon because he WILL challenge you but no worries, It's all part of the quit process. We've all been there, down and dirty in the trenches and amazed at the emotional levels we have reached in the early days. Hang in ..... it gets better (lots better)
