too early

Is this the song that inspires me to quit smoking. God, that Twitcher has some will power. Tell me it's hard as hell. *cough*

Really though, isn't this song about someone famous? A fellow musician maybe? My crumbly memory I left.

I quit "for good" about 7 years ago. I was never a heavy smoker and, believe it or not, almost always ran and mountain biked. You can do this when you are young. So, I didn't really experience the weight gain because my inspiration to quit was to ride my bike better. As far as being difficult, though, yes it is. I think five years went by before I didn't have cravings (I probably had ten cigarettes during that five year period). But now, just the thought of having a cigarette literally disgusts me.

Can Alice smoke and fist at the same time though? Eh? Huh? Bet ya she can't!

Sounds like you can!

Funny, the weight gain after quitting smoking thing interests me. This is the second time today I've seen reference to it--saw an old co-worker today who's been done with cigarettes for 5 months and he made note of the weight gain. What causes this? Is it just a matter of seeking a substitute for nicotine, or does it have some other physiological cause?

Twitch just likes to eat. He invited me over for sugar-coated, deep-fried, butter sticks once but I couldn't make it.

I saved the leftovers in the fridge for whenever you get a chance to make it, E...

Something else that helps the weight gain - when you quit smoking, food tastes SO MUCH better!

Also from Ask Alice:

Fisting is when a person puts his/her entire hand into another's anus or vagina. For those who enjoy fisting, it can be a highly intense and pleasurable feeling for both the receiving and giving partner. While many enjoy the sensations however, it is important to understand the risks involved. Fisting can create intense pleasure, but it can also cause severe pain and tissue damage. It is a sexual behavior that requires trust, communication, preparation, relaxation, patience, and LOTS of lube.

From Ask Alice:

Nicotine suppresses the appetite and causes the liver to release glycogen, which raises the blood sugar level slightly. With nicotine out of your system, you may feel hungry more often. Smoking artificially elevates heart rate and increases metabolism. When you stop smoking, your body has to readjust to a lower metabolic rate. If you eat the same as you did when you were smoking, your body will end up using less and storing more (as fat) of the food. Smoking dulls the taste buds. Food begins to taste better to new nonsmokers; this can increase food intake. And then there's oral fixation -- some ex-smokers may want something to fill the void of cigarettes.

Bucky had it right, I am a giant among men.

(But that's only because quitting smoking helped me add on an extra 20 pounds)

It`s about Townes Van Zandt
