4. The feeling of double spacing a single spaced paper in Word after you're finished writing it!

 

Totally! :-D

rotfl  That was the best part of writing papers in school...

 

Congratulations on your "trinity post", SrKateri! ;-)

1) Sleeping in well past noon when I'm not working.

2) A long hot bath and quiet hours reading undisturbed. Bonus points if achieved with limoncello...

3) Bacon cheeseburgers from Stewart's (with a float) or Nifty Fifties (with a milkshake).

4) Reality TV.

5) My Little Pony.

Oh yeah, and a very very big #6: PIZZA

In no paricular order:

 

1. Russian Dolls (TV show), and a few other movies/shows

2. The papacy, especially with Pope Francis

3. Alcohol, drinking or talking about

4. A handful of usually inappropriately aged attractive male celebrities

5. That feeling of calm and OK-ness that comes from leaving something that makes me feel more Armenian or something like that, being around that slightly less than perfectly white culture that's technically white and being a part of it in some way.

1) Cigarettes [I don't want to hear it, ppl.]

 

 

 

Have you ever tried vaping?

Seriously, look into it! A local vape shop sells 10-50mL bottles of "juice"...the 30mL one lasted me a month for $15! It's cheaper than cigs for me! And supposed to be much healthier :)

Yeah, but... is it really like smoking? I did some research on ecigs a while ago, and it just seemed like such a large initial investment for something that I might not like. Any ideas on how I can try it for cheap?

 

Also, what's the success rate for getting off ecigs? I mean, I don't just want to get addicted to something else... The patch works well for me when I don't forget to put it on!

It wasn't me. I'm a big advocate of them. They save you a ton of money and you can do it wherever you want. If you're ever interested in trying em out, let me know and I'd be happy to answer any questions or help however I can.

I was just talking with a coworker of mine who strongly suggested hypnosis for smoking cessation.  It might sound like hokum but it apparently has high success rates.  It also works for issues like weight loss.  That is, of course, if you want to quit smoking :)

I've heard hypnosis works. I'd totally try it if I could find someone reliable and affordable to do it. Suggestions?

You can try them out in the ecig shops. A whole set up can be had for $30. A lot of people who switch to vaping don't worry about quitting since they're not really that bad for you.

 

Anyhow, I better quit derailing this thread. If you have any questions, let me know.

I only know of the Dr. who does hypnotherapy where I live.  From what I understand, you go for a session with him and then he gives you his DVD which you use at home every day for a few weeks.

I could be totally wrong but I think the research might still be iffy on hypnotherapy. CBT has been shown to work for a bunch of things, though.

Some people don't know the difference between "pleasures" and "guilty pleasures." 

 

Some people have hijacked a thread that should have been a guilty pleasure and turned it into a guilt trip, even after they were warned that "I don't want to hear it, ppl."
