Maybe you just replace the cigarette with food - something to do with your hands?

Those hands again...doing naughty things....
It could also be wanting to have something in the mouth.

Nicotine activates certain neurons in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus which then suppresses your appetite.

Some people are really pissed off that it does not work for them. As advertised sic....!

Somehow, my last train last night said that I was carrying around 6000 passengers in an 8 car train. The usual crush load is around 2000. Ironically, the train was almost empty.

Someone told the train there were only 4 cars?

Interesting that it almost appears to be a choice in some people between giving up smoking and putting on weight.
Presumably, taking up smoking must change gut flora as well.

If I had a choice I would probably still be smoking. I never tried quitting once during my 25+ years of smoking.

On 10 September it will be 10 years and I am extremely proud that it has been this long and I have no desire to ever start again. My father on the other hand gave up for 18 months but was always thinking about it and has been back on them for many years.

Sounds like there was a problem with the carriage service that transmitted the information.

It's a non divisble 8 car train. I'd be rather concerned if it only showed 4 cars!

I can see clearly now..

I have just found the spare pair which I hadn't needed since I moved last year. Maybe I should unpack everything, after all it has only been 10 months since I got here.

Workmate couldn't find her reading glasses the other night. After getting her to check her pockets, her bag & the top of her head, I suggested they may be in her car.

She discounted that suggestion - that's exactly where they were the whole time.

I didn't know that trains could talk, but it was obviously lying.

My newer trains can talk - usually to tell the passengers where the train is going,

If there's a fault or an error message, there's an annoying noise.

On the newest trains, the train controller can make a remote announcement if needed to the train.

Insulin resistance does not help either.

Users of marijuan_ despite consuming extra calories have found to be slimmer. Users were found to have lower levels of insulin.

The hormone regulates metabolism of fat and carbs. The Atlantic noted that the findings perhaps explain why smokers of the wacky tobacky are less prone to diabetes.

Thomas has been talking for years!

I have never done dope in my life.

Not about to start now even for guaranteed weight loss....

Neither have I. But maybe it's on the bucket list.

On your bucket list?

I have seen people depended on it for the majority of their adult lives to the point where they could not function day to day without it. No thanks....

I think I have been a dope at various times

I am a dope all the time....

And I've met others who aren't. Guess it depends if you have an addictive personality.

You do not seem to be a dope all the time....after all you are an AFFer.
