Thanks. I have had my license for about 3 years, but I haven't driven for 2 of them because of a scratch I caused to the most recent car. In all honesty I am pretty damn scared when it comes to the thought of driving, but I am sure once I get back behind the drivers seat, and in a car that is mine so I am fine with random stuff happening to it, I should be fine.

I will probably still use my bicycle, when I get a new one, for most of my various errands, but when I can't cycle to a place or when winter comes then it will certainly give me some extra freedom.

I will be buying brand new though. Going for a new car coming out this September called the Elio. Something about 3 wheels is the most amazing thing to me when it comes to cars. It will only cost $6800 and it will get 84 mpg, on gas.

It just looks so amazing to me.

Great choice on the fuel economy, but I not sure about the practicalities of such a vehicle, I think I have seen that before on Top Gear (a motor show over here), am I right in thinking that the whole body of that car tilts as you go round corners? I think there is another seat behind the driver.

I'm sure the driving will come back to you like riding a bike! You'll wonder what you were so worried about in a week and your autopilot will return!

I'm not exactly sure how it looks, or works, while you are driving it. I should probably do a little studying on that. I think that it is a perfect first car, and if something happens to it then I could buy another one or two compared to a normal car.

Driving has always been weird for me, I am sure at some points I am close to be phobic of being in a vehicle. I know where it comes from, but haven't been able to really shake it. It was damn near a miracle I even got my license after two years of on and off practice .

I remember my first time driving. I was only going around in an empty parking lot and was told to try and drive home. Man were my knuckles white after only driving a mile haha.

So I updated my cable. I am with Comcast. Got the X1 package. A few things I want to say. The box in bedroom worked great. Main box in living room kept having to reboot. Change or scroll up or down a few channels and it would shut down. Called them back and the tech came out for checkup. He checked cable and all connections reran a new cable. Changed box except for one thing. Did a test on all he did and the box still kept having to reboot.
So I tell him. Hey buddy why don't you change the power chord too.
That shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Change the chord!

Haven't had a problem yet. Now I am glad that I have a new cable ran and connections. Just that wouldn't you try all easiest routes first to fix a problem first? Then if that didn't work you would try the difficult stuff.

My friend and I are really interested in that thing it keeps getting pushed back though. I want one for everyday travel. Nothing about that car can't be fixed with a turbocharger.

^ Big Cock Yea only a hand full of people know. Its a terrible thing and I quit for years and then do it again for a year or more. This time its been for several years and I can finally admit I am addicted to the nic. In the past that wasn't the case.
I am NOT ready to quit and it will only work when I am ready. As a result I avoid excerise because when you do that you have a hard time doing it and/or smoking after. So I am working on the mental aspect of it.

I have a lot going on and all the people in my life DO NOT smoke. So its hard because I get into this panic attack when your tongue swells and you need it and I refuse to do it around anyone.

When I am busy I quit its when I am not too busy or not dealing with the public is when I am in it hard.

I made it 2.5 hours with the dude and basically sent him home with my quietness. Feel bad. Its a problem with all my relationships because none of them smoke and many never even knew I smoked I hide it so well.

This guy asked me because of something I said defending a smoker hahaha I didn't lie I said yes privately in my own time and space. He has known of me for years and been talking to me for 8 or 9 months and could have sworn I was lying.

Being a good liar or hider is nothing to be proud of :(

I will brag about it when I am ready to quit. You will be the first one to know Jay.

J Stud:
Very proud of you. YOU are a very strong man!! It is very hard with any addiction but the legal ones I find especially hard we have more excuses. Smiling and clapping for you. You get a new nick name. Its not Jay or J. Now its J Stud! XO

You need to get a personal vaporizer! Do you smoke menthols? I vape and I smell oh so good! And it doesn't matter where I am, if I want a fix, I run to the bathroom like a little boy and fog the fock out of it! Lolz if you need assistance with learning the new way to puff nic let me know, and we'll get you off those gross things for good! :)

Yeah there is no use in wasting money on patches, gum and prescriptions if you aren't mentally in it. When you are ready to give them up you will do it. And we will be here to encourage you along the way.
