Quitting Smoking

mygirls9901 @mygirls9901 (338) • United States 20 May 08

I need some help here... I actually had quit smoking for at least 12 weeks when I was in the Army. But as soon as I made it out of Basic Combat Training just the smell of a cigarette made me want one. So, since I was able to buy...

cosmicsnail I have just quit smoking again, I'm hoping it will last this time. I've been smoking for over 10 years. I gave up smoking for 5 months before after going to a smoking cessation group through the NHS, I don't know if health clinics in the US offer similar...

Facebook - Fun times for how long?

thefizzle @thefizzle (17) • United States 20 May 08

I have noticed that the magnitude of applications on facebook are more than entertaining for a short time, but grow dull very quickly and are soon replaced by a new fun application that follows suit. Do you also feel this way?...

cosmicsnail I really hate Facebook applications and I don't really trust them either. It drives me mad when I go to one of my friends' pages and have to scroll for ages to try and find their regular wall. I also get sick of the constant invites I get for different types...

Learning the meaning of "No" and other words

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 21 May 08

I've been trying to teach my Columbus cat, who is 11 years old, the meaning of "no," as in "don't even think of eating Mimi's food" and "don't you dare chase Maxie" and "don't poo there (on the floor)". And so far, my efforts seem...

cosmicsnail I find it rally hard to get my cat to listen to me too. Her main behaviour problems are scratching the furniture and carpets and chewing wires. I find making noises is the best way as it distracts her. For instance, if we are playing and she starts to bite, I...

cosmicsnail You should look to see if there are any knitting groups in your area. Knitters are generally friendly folk and I expect they would be delighted to teach you if you went along to a meeting. I think it's much easier to learn from someone showing you, rather than...

stormeetigress @stormeetigress (487) • United States 18 May 08

Has anyone here received an invitation to Ravelry? I got mine a few weeks ago and I love it. It has a page where you can keep track of your hooks, another where you can queue patterns that you find online that you want to make....

cosmicsnail I'm on Ravelry too! I'm a knitter though, not a crocheter, I've never managed to get the hang of crocheting and have only used it for edgings on knitted garments. I plan to try my hand at amigurumi though as the dolls seem quite simple and they look so...

Ravelry--A knitters site--Is there one like it for other other needle work?

Aurone @Aurone (4755) • United States 5 Mar 08

I have recently heard about a site called Ravelry which sounds like a very cool site for knitters and crocheters that let your list what you have in your stash, post pics, look for patterns and connect with other knitters. I would...

cosmicsnail I love Ravelry too, it's like a Facebook for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, dyers etc! I spend way too much time on it but I love that you can see lots of photos of projects to see how they turn out when non professional knitters make them!

cosmicsnail I received Remicade treatment for about a year for my Crohn's disease in the hope that it would help my complex anal fistulas, unfortunately it didn't help me at all. I was put on Thalidomide for a while afterwards which the doctor thought was helping but I...
