Agree, first 48hrs ROUGH, first 2 weeks not fun, after that I was good to go.
Have have to retrain your brain to deal with the "boredom cigarette" time. For me, this was the hardest. I didn't realize how much I smoked out of boredom. Be patient, you will develop new ways of coping; going for a short walk helped me.
How bout your sense of smell returning? Do oders smell more intense now?
Absolutely, not only are the good smells more intense, so are the bad ones.
Ya know, right away the smell thing was noticeable to me. After 2 weeks in the hospital I came home and the smell of smoke that permeated my home was horrible as I opened the door. This told me what other people smelled who were non smokers who came into my home. I was totally embarrassed by the stench. Spent the next month washing everything, wiping down walls, etc.HT SYSTEM-

I noticed that after a 10 day stint in the hospital years ago. Congrats to you guys and someday I'll do the same I hope. It's a stranglehold addiction for sure.

Oh yeah, that comes on pretty quick--like day 3. We only smoked in Bev's truck once, and it was disgusting. We had to give it a big cleaning. Thankfully, we've never smoked in the house. Your sense of taste comes back too.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 -

You are absolutely welcome to join us, you can have her portion! As a matter of fact anytime you can make it to Arizona I will prepare the same meal for you. I can cook pretty good, at least the last time that I tried. BTW no lockdown here! Furthermore I can make you some of those Satanic candied yams (I can cook those too) but you have to eat them on the porch or the bathroom, I can't bare to watch.Post edited by afterburnt on -

As seen Elsewhere -- enabling those quick, on the fly crossover tuneups.
(although I think if I were goin' to all that trouble, I'd have invested in better capacitors)
PS Check out that high-end Pyle amplifier, too!

Well, that's a tough act to follow -- this might do it.
NSFW, but probably only on the Day of the Dead.

Kunekune, interesting name.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

I'll admit I had to look up "kunekune".
It seems that it's a type of big, fat, hairy pig found in New Zealland as pictured in Bruce's post.
Yet.....in Japanese it means "wiggle wiggle"
Why ? It's a sordid tale that they're trying to keep hush hush.

Another 80+ degree day! Normally we're in the high 60's at this point---not that I'm complaining...

I was at my local Home Depot this morning and in the adjacent parking spaces when I returned to my car, I saw a Porsche Boxster, a Maserati Sedan, and a Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Of the three cars, the Toyota FJ Cruiser was the most interesting. The FJ Cruiser had a missile on top.
