I smoked two packs a day for 40 years and when I decided to quit, I tried Chantix. Not even my own prescription - just some leftovers from a friend.
The next morning after taking one of the pills, there was no desire for a cigarette. I finished a pack of cigarettes over a few days at a rate of 3 per day just out of habit of having one with coffee and after a meal, but there was never a "need" to smoke.
I'm sure this stuff doesn't work the same on everyone, but for me, it was the easiest thing I ever did.
Try it first.

Snowmaggedon is heading my way from Atlanta, supposedly. Like there, they close schools here without one drop of precip even hitting the streets. Snow on the grass (roads clear)? 2 hour delay! I know it all likely stems from Litigation USA being what it is, but dang, when I was a kid in SW Ohio, we could have a real snowmaggedon on the streets and the best we could hope for was a 1 or 2 hour delay. It would have to be really, really bad for school to close.

About six months after the election had a visit to the Interior Dept to finish up a process improvement study (no work with federal government since because this regime is not interested in saving money) and was shocked by the number of shrines to Duh Won. Also, they had a celebration of gayness display in the lobby. Really creepy seeing the shrines. Most of the staff in DC are there for a nice fat paycheck, don't work, and could care less about the country. The staff of each agency could be reduced 50 percent and they would not have an impact on their "mission."

dang, when I was a kid in SW Ohio, we could have a real snowmaggedon on
the streets and the best we could hope for was a 1 or 2 hour delay"
Know what you mean. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and went to college in Athens, Ohio too. I understand there aren't snow plows here and few salt trucks but this is ridiculous. It wasn't like this in Atlanta 20 years ago. The city got excited about snowstorms and schools shutdown for small amounts but there had to be actual snow and ice, not just the possibility of some in the next day or two.

The mandated 4 day work week are a joke. One of those days they get to stay home. So they can "work" for home we provide them Blackberries and in many cases laptops. When we were conducting our study and called people who were "working from home" we either got their kids answering the phones or no response whatsoever. What a terrible waste of funds. Easy fix but need a Prezzy with guts (Walker).

"The one way that we can rebuilt the demographic pyramid is to fix a broken immigration system...If we do this, we will rebuild our country in a way that will allow us to grow. If we don't do it, we will be in decline, because the productivity of this country is dependent on young people that are equipped to be able to work hard...Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans over the last 20 years. Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families and they have more intact families."

And therefore, to fix our broken system, I propose the following: Seal the borders. Seal them. We have crossing stations, and the United States will never deny those who wish to join and contribute to the greatest nation on Earth. Part of what makes us great, though, is the singular fact that we are a nation of laws. Those laws need to be equally applied to all of us, immigrant and native-born alike. Come to America. Follow our legal processes. Raise your families and help re-build the American dream. I look forward to personally administering the oath of citizen ship to the first 100 individuals to complete the legal process during my presidency.

Immigrants
are more fertile, and they love families and they have more intact
families.'
Obviously Jeb hasn't spent much time in South America but he is half right
Fertile and large families? Yes.
Intact
families? That is a joke, right?. Among the poor that are
the ones coming here, there are few formal marriages. Mothers
have kids from multiple fathers who usually aren't around and
contribute zero to raising the kids, if they are even aware they have
them.Children frequently are abandoned by neglectful parents to be
raised by relatives. Many of the people in the rural areas treat their
animals better than their kids. It is very common for a better off
families to take in orphans and raise them as their own. It makes the
crumbling families in our inner cities look like Ozzie and Harriett.
Sound harsh. Yes, but it is true. I'm sick of the Disney Movie Fantasy We Are The World version of reality always presented to us. It is destroying the country.
