That's a lot of bunny maintenance and cleaning. Think of how nice it'll be to have a clean apartment after though. I love that feeling! When is the inspection?

Arrggh it's supposed to be next Wednesday,but we're gonna try and postpone a week (with one of my elaborate exuses) as I've been getting really stressed and procrastinating.

I might need longer to get the mowing/gardening guy out to sort out my backyard too.Just a tip-if you ever think how great it would be to rent a house with a huge backyard and a pool,I'm here to tell you it actually sounds better than it is.The backyard is a jungle and I'm allergic to gardening (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) and this summer just gone was so rainy,we probably went for a swim maybe 6 times in 3 months.We did the math,and with all the chlorine and maintenance,it cost us almost $80 per swim :X

The clean house part is an awesome feeling as it's so rare,and here's what usually happens...

I've considered them but haven't tried them yet. And yes, that's the main part, holding the cancer stick in my mouth is something I can't seem to go without. The gum sucks, and I can't seem to adapt to the "chewing technique" since I'm accustomed to chewing any gum violently and relentlessly, a habbit I gained when I was heavily on uppers. SIGH.

I hear ya there! I bought an e-cig as part of a group-on deal,and it sucked,as apparently in Australia,they can't sell e-cigs with nicotine in them,which is retarded.I've checked out different e-cig forums and reviews,and have found one that gets great reviews which I'm gonna import from the U.S when I have some spare cash http://youtu.be/UUVN4Lk1VLA

I think one of the most important aspects of the e-cig is good vapour and that "hitting the back of the throat" feel.The crappy cheap one I bought I had to drag so hard on it just to get any vapour,let alone the back of the throat hit.

I'm really hoping a decent e-cig will help me cut down...would love to hear of anyone elses experiences with them? :)

Wow. That seems like the tobacco lobby sure got some of their choice ideas passed into law. It's weird that is for Australia, as it seems that the United States tobacco lobby would only go to such lengths.

I don't smoke tobacco or use nicotine at all, but I do vaporize/smoke cannabis/extracts. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter to me what the smoke "feels" like. I prefer seemingly air-like vapor which doesn't "hit the back of the throat", to smoking actual cannabis.

Just my 2 cents.

I think you'll be impressed with the e-cig when it actually has nicotine in it (again, thanks for sharing this with me, I have never heard of that before!), as the effects should come through for you. :)

I don't have any e-cig experiences myself (again, I am not a tobacco/nicotine user, I despise it) - but my friend, a fellow Bluelighter, wanted to quit smoking, so he got an e-cig. He tought he would have to like start with a little ecig and mostly cigarettes, and then slowly balance it out with 50/50, then mostly e-cig. However, when he tried the e-cig, he immediately switched to it and rarely smokes cigarettes now; he heavily prefers the e-cig, and delivers the same effects for him.

I was really amazed to hear how he found it a lot easier to switch to the e-cig than he originally anticipated.

Chewing on a nicotine gum hoping for a buzz that apparently won't happen. Now tempted to take another one, but I know better than to do that I guess. What's going on with you guys?

The reason why you won't get a buzz from patches/gum is because of the route of administration. Vaporized/smoked nicotine is going to impact the brain nearly instantaneously compared to transdermal and buccal.

The time until onset of a drug experience, is one of the most solid markers of a drug's addictive potential.

Wow that gives me a lot of hope,thanks for sharing :) I have the same plan as your friend did,just replacing a few cigs with the e-cig and taper slowly from there.

I've tried patches,gum,inhaler,Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking book,cutting down with rollies,switching brands every day,zyban and cold turkey.The longest I've lasted is a week,and every time I've basically been a homicidal bitch and gained weight.

I'm quite orally fixated,and replacing cigs with a lollipop or inhaler didn't cut it for me.I've just found I really need something that is exactly like a cigarette.From my experience with the crap e-cig,I can see that a decent nicotine e-cig would work out nicely for me.I still wanna do a bit more research about cheaper ways to refill the cartridges rather than buying new cartridges every time,because if I'm still smoking real cigs and importing e-cig cartridges from overseas,it could get very expensive!

^Best of luck with quitting. <3 I know it took me several tries before I quit for good. It's been almost 6 years now and rarely have cravings.

How has everybody been? I finally got home from my vacation and am settling in a bit, but I'm gonna be gone the next couple weekends. I'm going to Lollapalooza next weekend (!!!!!!) and then I have a family wedding the weekend after. Summer is in full swing for me and I'm definitely taking advantage of it. School starts in less than a month...eeeeeekkkk!!!

To sell nicotine containing e-cigs in australia, a poisons license is required (as it is with normal cigs, anyway).
 
Helllooo. I finally got rid of the damn Greenlighter status yesterday. So I suppose I'm still a noob ;)
I tend to read more than I post, so I suppose that doesn't help. But suppose I've seen some of you around the forums.
I've been using suppose constantly for two days now to annoy my bf and now I can't stop :p

I got another boyfriend (ex now) an e-cigarette a few years back. I like the occasional black n mild when I'm buzzin but I'm just not a cigarette smoker, it's just so awful for you and I hate the smell and how it makes your breath sour and your tongue all white. I hoped the e cigarette would at least help. I actually tried it, I liked the vapor aspect and the flavors. But stuff was always breaking on it and it was so expensive to begin with. But smokers like smoking... The same way people addicted to IV drugs like injecting. E cigarettes aren't satisfying to a lot of smokers I know simply because there's no actual smoke or flame.

Hey dan c pantsy :) Nice to see you here.

& rhun, I spent the first couple years of my BL career doing a lot more reading than posting before I really really got involved. I think this is the way that it goes for lots of us. There is a lot to absorb in on this site.



And a bit of good news for those of you who are friends with skillz-4-thrillz. I spoke with her last night after she had been MIA for almost 2 months. It was causing lots of concern for me I'm sure quite a few others. Hearing from her last night was a wonderful relief. I'm ecstatic she is okay. You always hope for the best but fear the worst when BLers go missing.
So rest assured and expect a return from her soon. :D
 
I was half asleep when my phone went off last night and considered just checking it in the morning. I'm glad I didn't wait on it so that the closure arrived sooner instead :)
 
Hey laika nice to hear from u and making me welcome. So wot do u do to add freinds do you jus ad random people or wot lol ?

The buddy list feature on Bluelight really holds no benefits. But I suppose it's fun and is nice to have a compiled list of people who are important to you on BL and it makes it easier to access their profiles by going to your buddy list.
If you do want to add someone, you can click on their name, a drop menu will come down and you can click "Add as contact." This will bring you to another page where you can click a box that notifies the person that you would like to be friends with them. They will get a notification that you added them.

I hope I didn't just make that confusing for you. Let me know if you get stuck.
 
In Blogs, you can make your blog only viewable to those on your friends/contact list, but you can't use Blogs til you're a Bluelighter and have 50 posts. Other than that, yeah...I don't really know of any other purposes of the feature
 
OK thnks for the info people and yea laika u did make sense and no it wasnt confusing lol whats evryone doin tonight is it gunna be a messy one or wot
