I've been chewing nicotine gum on an internet guide. Keep smoking, don't cold turkey. I'm down to about 7-10 a day. In 3 months. 

 

I tried the gum & mints etc way back but they burn my mouth

Rant time:

 

Several towns away from us, this parent is throwing a huge fit and called the paper about policies that have long been in place in school districts in this part of the country.  She's new to the area and obviously hasn't gotten the memo that you really shouldn't be trying to change everything about a place when you move there.  It is rude.  Yeah, it took me by surprise that school districts here go on field trips without any prior warning or approval as long as it is in town or a nearby town.  It is kind of weird randomly encountering your child's whole class right outside your living room window, but whatever, it is part of small town life.

 

Now this lady thinks that we should all cater to her whims, which is exactly why newcomers aren't usually overly embraced.   Don't like the school's policies that 99.9% of the other parents have no problems with?  Send your kid to private school or homeschool them.

 

Tell her to politely go forth and multiply...

Real English people drink tea, smoke pall mall, and have black yellow teeth. 

 

I am clearly an imposter, hate tea, have never seen pall mall cigarettes in the U.K., and my teeth have been well looked after 😂

Around here it's sweet tea. Everyone and their brother drinks the stuff. It's gross. Tea is meant to be hot! 

 

Sweet at tea is the work of the devil!

OH, I dunno. The place that brought us sweet tea without asking was our local Chinese Buffet. Mind you , if you can have the chance to order hot tea, it is very good.

Lol that's what I read. Research has shown that chewing the gum, but not cold turkeying, is a better approach. Keep smoking. But less and less.

Umm...cdn you've not seen a pic of me lol lmao...

 

And, that's not a Chinese buffet that you go to. It's a "fook" buffet. 

 

A Fook, is an illegal immigrant from the Chinese province of fujian. Where entire villages illegally immigrated to the U.S.

Speaking of Fooks, we neither seen, heard from, or otherwise scented Darklar or Tooth-8...
