  1. But as mentioned above, Vegas has the distinction of being the most successful expansion club of any league, any sport, ever.
  2. Kings. Easy. Black and white. Literally. Plus they have a whole line of offensive players that wear sweaters with numbers in the 70’s! That’s unheard of!
  3. could it be all the rain/fog/clouds?
  4. Don't we always have a choice?

  7. You like to watch?
  8. or should I bring pineapple?
  9. if people wanna watch, who am I to stop them?
  10. do we only follow rules when people are watching?
  11. Oh, and once we left US territory (12 miles off the coast - and there was a line at the ship's store!) we no longer had to pay US taxes, and smokes were $5/carton for name brands, and $3/carton for generics.
  12. Aren't you supposed to use fishing hooks when fishing?
  13. don't some girls like just about everything?
  14. maybe she was on the tenterhooks?
  15. 10 years in the US Navy. Can't blame them for my smoking, as I had been smoking for years before I enlisted. But man, did they make it easy! I ended my relationship with the military in 1991, right after Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and can speak to the article's mention of the tobacco companies losing their minds over the US Military taking steps to reduce smoking. In the article, they talk about boredom, and cheap easy access to cigarettes. They left out (or I glossed over it) that many of us in the military kind of accepted that we may die in the normal course of doing our jobs...dying from smoking just didn't seem that exciting. Also, we were (for the most part) very young and still "invincible"! Thanks for sharing the article!
  16. Is THIS what you meant: "By the mid-18th century, the phrase "on tenterhooks" came to mean being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, i.e. figuratively stretched like the cloth on the tenter." ??

  20. No, the real question is "what in the actual hell is tenterhooks?"
  21. Do you think they know you’re on their side?
  22. If you aren’t enough of a fan to have a team, does it really matter?
  23. Should I?

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
