You can put in a good word for me if you would like, Yorkie... sounds interesting! Thanks!!

I am glad that you had the same happen to you in your car, I have not had any cravings, but it just kind of threw me off balance when it came up so quick like that. I will put in a good word for you, and I think you would be great at it, so we will see if they contact you. Take care and have a good day!!!!!! It is nice to be making it one more day at a time, life gets so much better with out smoking!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know the Tropical Chex Mix is very fruity and Tropical, it is ok but I still like the cheese one better, I will keep you all informed on the others that I try, I bought a few different varieties, so by the end of this weekend I should be able to tell you more.
I am still doing great, it is waaaayyyy to cold here to even think about going out and buying any cigarettes, so I guess I will just stay warm inside and eat my Chex Mix.

Just wanted to add the Chocolate Chex Mix isn't bad, the Tropical gets old after a while but the Cheese and the Chocolate are ok. I still have more to check out, I will keep you posted.

Well, I attempted to smoke like 2 weeks ago. took one drag (I don't even think I inhaled) and I threw it out. Tasted disgusting.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEE EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! But back to the chocolate p-nut butter chex mix (never said I didn't have a one track mind) - did you buy this or make it . Be careful, you guys. Choosing not to smoke can be dangerous for your posterior if you substitute that "oral craving" for chocolate p-nut butter chex mix

Especially if you're sitting in front of the computer, visiting a popular forum...

I cheated and bought mine, all different flavors, they were still out of the peanut butter kind, but I am stocked up on the cheeeeeessssssseeeeeeee flavored, yum yum. It does taste good while at the computer, I think I will have to run and grab a bag, I skipped supper, so it shouldn't be to bad.
I am still smoke free, my birthday is the 11th, so I have to plan something special for myself, since I will be smoke free, any ideas??????

Yes you should something really special that day. How about some expensive perfume you have always wanted?

Oh, I don't know, but just think of all the extra lung power you'll have to blow out all those candles!!
Well, how about sending yourself some flowers, and really appreciating how sweet and fragrant they actually ARE!

Good idea on the perfume, I think Poprocksncoke went and bought out all the peanut butter chex mix, can't find any around here.lol
I just checked on my boards, they looked good for tonight, and I put them to sleep, so now I am back checking things out here.
How was your vacation ILNC? It is so nice to be able to just get away, forget about all your troubles, yeah that's the feeling. ahhhhhhh!!!!!

I was a two pack a day Camel, no filter, smoker. While in the Navy, one day I realized I was going through a pack in about 2 hours. It was everybody else saying, "Hey, give me a smoke". So one morning I got up, grabbed my Camels and walked out to the rail and through them overboard. Never had one since. that was 1976.

My brother smoked. One day I was out at his house and noticed he didn't have a smoke hanging from his lip. I asked him about it. he said, I quit. Then, thinking that the doctor said something to him I enquired further. He said, "Well, it's like this. I smoked for 20 years and now I'm going to quit for 20 years and see how I like it." He's never smoked since.

My dad told us boys that he was going to quit when he turned 75. He did. Never touched another one.

Just takes the right time and a lot of will power. It reminds me of a quote from John Wayne. After he had one lung removed.

"Anybody can quite smoking, but it takes a real man to have cancer and keep on charging." Yeah, he charged for a while.
