Differnt responses for different people I guess.

Took my wife almost 3 years before she didn't have the "I WANT A CIGARETTE" feeling. Then she was good for about 8 years or so. Now the last 6 months or so she is back to the wanting a cigarette feeling.

Gotta give her props though... got up one morning, said I quit with a half a pack just lying there waiting to be lit up and has never smoked again. Cold Turkey is tough!

Also had a buddy that quit CT, hacked and coughed all day long for six months and then it quit. Been good ever since and says he has never wanted a puff since.

So why in the hell would his old butt be doing X??? and lecturing others about drugs lol. People our age shouldn't even know much about ti except from the teenagers.

I havent done ecstacy since I was in college in the mid 1980's...

That was when it first surfaced and stuck around until going out of style in the early 90's. I remember when I first got to New Orleans in 87 for college they had just stopped selling it over the counter in certain bars because it had been made illegal. There was a period where the government didnt know what it was, apparently, and thus there no laws prohibiting its use or sale.

I remember the "love drug" very well. And then when it was banned, they would change a molecule and call it "heaven" or "white cloud" etc. to stay ahead of the laws. Those were the days my friend...

I did it on a number of occasions, but I actually preferred other recreational drugs in my party days.....

X is a wonderful-feeling drug. If it weren't for the fact that it eats huge holes in your brain, I'd probably still do it. But I can't really afford to get any stupiderer.

At least we know now why you are the proto-typical Eagles fan...

Speaking of Eagles fans, what happened to XMRogers? He used to go absolutely ballistic when I would go on one of my Eagles rants.

I would imagine after threee years of picking hooks out of their mouth, even the most short-sighted of lunkers learns not to bite the shiny spinner-- present company included.

Have seen XM around a few times, with a couple of posts. I imagine he'll be back in force once the season really starts.

Ecstasy = St. Joseph's Baby Acid

true, except Acid or St Joseph's never made me want to go bang every broad in sight, and then marry her...

Apples and Oranges, IMO.

I'll take X in the Pepsi Challenge against Acid, anyday.

Man....I am gettin' old! I've never been into the 'illegal' drug scene, eventhough I was a 60's child. I didn't hear about ecstasy until my daughter went to college in 1996! "Momma....where's my cane!"

I believe you mean change an atom or two.

BS, spain I'm 52.....and....neverever....ah...what was I......my heart....I need to....what was the question?

Friggin' scientists.


Edit: Oh forgot the .

BRAIN FART!

Eh. Ijust consider the source

Same here, and I thought I had done it all

Nsab, rockn, aqualung, et al:

Don't worry. Our day of crinking our foreheads and saying "Damm kids!" is swiftly coming. In a couple of years, I am sure the new craze will be licking the skin of Bolivian Rainforest frogs for a buzz and jamming to computerized tree noises.

OK, now the whole Tailgate forum starts to make more sense to me......

I wish it made sense to me.

F'n moocher.

OK guys, if any of you actually want some constructive advice, here 'ya go. I'm 45 and had a heart attack when I was 26. Turns out I had a hereditary problem that results in very high cholesterol. I had a quad-bypass then and a few angioplastys over the next few years. I consulted an expert at UCSF and was put in his program. Changes I made were:

1) stopped smoking weed
2) started excercising regularly (I was in very good shape and was 160 lbs and 5' 11"; still am 19 years later).
3) started eating healthy meals and make sure I eat 3 meals a day (at a minimum)
4) got on an intensive med program (take Lipicor, a huge dose of niacin, welchol, vit e, vit c, vit B50, aspirin, and folic aid). My cholesterol dropped from 405 to 160 (and sometimes as low as 140). HDL (the good cholesterol) went from 19 to 45. I have evidence from tests that show the buildup in my arteries had been reduced
6) I make sure I have a balanced life (equal focus on work, family, and rec). No more long hours at work and I got a job with minimal travel.
7) I avoid second hand smoke (smoke reduces HDL)

Every time I see my doc he comments that it's rare for patients to follow the advice so religously despite the obvious negatives.

I now have two kiddos (avoided having them for the first 16 years we were married at the advice of my doc, since my condition gets passed on to 50% of the offspring). Neither boy inherited it.

As a side note, none of this has impacted my life in the least. I've competed in many triathlons, many 200+ mile bike races, kick boxing, scuba diving, and auto racing.

Bottom line, if you have enough motivation, the meds and knowledge exist to deal with this.

Dude! Get with it, man. That is so July! The new thing is to follow Polksalet into a Ryans steakhouse bathroom and take a good whiff after he does his business...

You are a Freak

Poo Whiffing hasn't quite made it to Minnesota yet (but we're a backwards sort up here). Maybe I can get the trend started here by taking big dumps in our High School men's rooms... free at first of course.

That will fukc you up. Its pretty irresponsible for you to joke about such a dangerous activity. Especially if a kernel of corn gets stuck in yer nostril or lung.

Boy, you guys make me feel so much healthier. Thanks!
