I had another job that I had to be there some Saturdays and Sundays at 8am, I would sometimes actually stay up all night then go to work. Oh and I don't drink anything caffeinated.

 Haha that's funny...  When I was in school and had to be awake by 7 to be there by 7:55, you have no idea how many times I just said screw it at about 5 am and decided to stay up all night.  I seem to be MORE tired if I sleep from 5 to 7 than if I don't sleep at all.  :]

People are annoyed when others are peppy (like MOI) because they're just jealous.  They WISH they were as happy as me.

:-D

*dances around*

*hands out SMILE! buttons*

*bounces out*

 I won't even deny that this is true.

it is completely true.

I could only dream of actually feeling peppy and happy in the morning.

But no.

my body feels like poop.

so i feel like a cranky #$%@&

:]

I HATE the mornings.

hate them.

hate them.

ugh.

I smoked cigarettes for over 20 years. I really enjoyed it and there was nothing better than relaxing with a smoke. I have two children who are 9 and 7 and I knew if I wanted to see them grow up and get married..etc..that I'd have to quit. When spring came, my sinuses and allergies kicked into full gear causing me to develop a chest infection. I knew that this would be the perfect time to quit as I was coughing a lot, not breathing so well and the taste of cigarettes were awful. I bought the Nicoderm patch and I have been smoke-free for almost 10 weeks now. I feel wonderful and can't believe how much energy I have now and the taste of food has improved drastically. Now I'm concentrating on losing about 20lbs and just living a healthier life. :) That's my story!

I smoked for over 30 yrs quit cold turkey 3 yrs ago this month- best thing I ever did for myself after losing 50 lbs - now to just lose thos "quit lbs"

 kudos to both of you!!!  I never smoked cigarettes, but my parents have always struggled to quit off and on.  I saw how difficult it was and think it's awesome when people can do it!  :]]]]

I'm sure it is good to use caution when you post things about yourself, but my friends and parents all know about this and as far as future employers, i doubt they would find this forum post.  And, honestly it's not like they know my full name or anything.  So, I see no harm in talking about how I kicked former habits.  :]

If anyone is worried about that stuff, they can elect not to post.  Yay for the right to make your own decisions!!!  I will accept responsibility for my posts if any complications arise in my life because of them.

I'm not promoting or condoning illegal or questionable actions.

I'm simply sharing.

and I don't see the harm in that.

misskady, oh i don't doubt that some children need medication.  I just think doctors are too pushy and willing to give children medication when they don't need it.  Some children, like your nephew, may need medication because of psychological damage.  But a child that has trouble sitting still and likes to hop from one game to another does not need medication.  They're young and have lots and lots of energy.  They don't want to stick to one thing because they are curious.  I also think people should lay off the antibiotics.  Don't people realize that antibiotics kill even the good bacteria in our bodies??  They also make it nigh impossible to develop immunities or antibodies of our own to fight off illnesses.  We'd have much stronger immune systems if we didn't use formulated medicine to kill every single bacteria we shelter.  I believe antibiotics have a time and place, but people take them for illnesses that we'd be able to fight off ourselves.

i totally agree!  Seems like there's a pill for everything nowadays.  Restless leg syndrome?  Here's a pill!  Constipation?  Don't fix it the natural way with natural foods, we have a pill!  And, I'm sorry, but I think they're way too quick to diagnose people with ADD or ADHD.  Children especially.  They almost ALL have attention problems and hyperactivity problems.  Stop feeding them meds, they're CHILDREN.

laschndr,

I used to black out on several occasions.  That's one of the reasons I kicked the habit.  I realized how dangerous that was... I could've been raped or worse.  I was very very lucky not to be hurt or get alcohol poisoning.  Anyway, since i obviously tend to go over my limit when i drink, i just stay away from it all together.  I try to be strong and think things through instead of blindly going along with whatever everyone else is doing.

:]

nomo, please don't kill the thread!!!  We're not encouraging anything illegal... more like discouraging.  And sharing views and opinions.  For support and motivational purposes!!!  :]

 Part of the reason I like them better...I tend to favor "less angry" music :)

 Yeah that's understandable.  I don't favor either.  lol.  If I'm angry or just hyper and need faster music I go for Tool.  If I'm laid back just chilling or if I'm sad or down I tend to turn to APC for comfort.

Both are amazing.

Yupp.  Faves for sure.

More of a perfect circle fan, myself :)

 APC is also truly amazing.

both bands have a time and place depending on my mood.

APC is lighter and generally less angry.

Maynard James Keenan is my future husband though. lol.

zarelha, i agree with you too.  It is correct that my upbringing caused me to be more mature, but there are other ways of raising more mature children without dysfunction or abuse.  So I'm sure like you there are others who were simply raised to be more mature.  I myself was forced to be more mature, but I'm sure maturity can come from perfectly heathy family lives as well.

it's a terrible drug.  it's not even a drug; it's poison with a high attached.

 I second that!!  Just poisonous chemicals... blech.

I'll be 18 in a week and a half and from a teen's perspective, I enjoy sex.  But you have to be ready for it.  I had sex at 15 and hated it.  Wasn't ready for it.  Since then I've had a few relationships that involved sex and I still didn't like it.  It was painful/uncomfortable/embarrassing to me.  Then when I met my current boyfriend over a year and a half ago, I finally felt I was ready to relax and try to enjoy it.  Well, now I love it. 

Maybe you're looking for the reassurance that the affection is real and not just based on sex.  Therefore cuddling/kissing might make you feel like it's genuine and not just sex drive.

Who knows.

But you should never feel "not normal" about any of that.
