RETIRED: Target chit chat

Inquiring minds wanna know, what type of word is oy and what does it mean and when is it properly used?

Ank uses it a lot, and someone from the Northwest used it today in the deals thread. Is it a regional expression like ya'll (for you all or yous guys)? If it is, what is oy short for

I quit smoking almost 2 years ago. 1st suggestion from me is even if you don;t know when you will try buy the 'patch' or 'gum' or whatever NOW cause this is when all the coupons are out.
2nd I used the patch, I had smoked 2 packs a day for 17 years, I was a cheater on the patch - they say not to smoke with it on but I did, nearly everyday for the fist 6-7 weeks of quiting. IDK if it was psychosamatic or actual need for more nicotine but I didn't gat sick, and I would sneak the extra cigs and not let anyone see me leave the house or be around to smell it. - I am not suggesting being a cheater but it is what worked for me. My 'cheating' made ME the boss of MY quitting, not the patch. I know - weird but that is just me.
3rd I will say stay away from your normal smoking activites. The 1st night I quit we went out on a date, sat at the bar, had drinks and then saw a movie. I would be a chiminey normally and my attitude was freaking horrible being in that situation. It was also really hard to clean my house for a while too because I had always used a cigarette as a reward for each accoplishment. Okay toilet is sparkling smoke now, pantry is orgazied smoke now. Plus we used to smoke outside only and we had a little key shelf were we kept our cig, I replaced the box of cigs with a bowl of M&Ms.
I will NEVER go back to being a smoker again! It is the most disgusing thing in the whole world. I HATE smoker now! HATE THEM It is kind of funny.
:tehee: I used to smoke during sex.
IDK how you lived wth a smoker after quitting. I think it worked for me because both DH and I quit at the same time. He 3 weeks b4 me.

Thanks.. Good price! I am resisting the urge to buy some.. I bought 6 bottles last time.. Only because the 3 packs are a much better deal deal than the singles.. I got 3 vanilla and 3 caramel last time. I like them both, but the vanilla is my favorite. I would like to try another, but hate to buy 3 bottles of some of those, like chocolate, cause I don't think I would drink that much of it.. I wish there was a way to combine a 3 pack of your flavor choices. I am gonna sticky the thread because the deal runs through 1/31 and I may order some more vanilla then

*snip*

I ended up ordering a 3-pack of Vanilla since I'd gotten the 1 bottle to try at Gordman's (this was a MUCH better deal!) and the 3-pack of caramel. I agree, there is not much else I would order a 3-pack of Vanilla and Caramel are both pretty staple flavors for me.....all the others, eh. I am content with those couple though. There is a 6-pk. variety pack here [amazon.com] but not available right now (maybe OOS???) and you can sign up to be notified when it becomes available.

Oooooooo now I am thinking that some of the SF raspberry or something would be yummy in the summertime mixed with some seltzer water or something Hmmmmm might hafta think on that

or, raspberry mixed with unsweet tea if you like flavored stuff.. or mixed with some lemonade

Both of those sound good.

I just cannot believe they are sugar-free; they don't taste like it to me.

Not that you really asked, but I agree with Dazzled -- get some patches. I quit 3 years ago, I think. Might have been 4 but think it's 3. I smoked 2+ packs per day and had for 25 years. Long story short -- hubby got sick (pneumonia) didn't even want to smoke. I figure if he could do without, I could at least smoke in the basement or outside for a while. By bedtime, I had decided I would just quit. I handed a nearly full carton to my daughter and told her to put them up. I haven't had one since.

About day two or three we decided some patches might be nice. They really did help take the edge off. Put your new ones on in the morning so they are strongest through the day. I highly, highly recommend them.

You know how everybody says they are so glad they quit and how they feel ever so much better? Well let me tell ya. I have never felt worse and I miss it. I do have to admit that I don't think about it or miss it every day now like I did for the first year or two. And, my chest is clear, no icky phlegmy cough or wheezing. I just had chest X-rays a few weeks back and doc says by looking at my lungs now you cannot tell I smoked all those years. There is a little bit of scarring but nothing more than what you might expect to see in any 47 year old. I also went from loving the smell at first to not liking it at all now. I just say I haven't quit -- I am taking an extended break. If the day comes that I am ever given a terminal diagnosis, my first stop with the be the cigarette shop.

Good luck to ya. I never thought I could do it and never really wanted to do it. Then just poof, all at once over a few hours one night, I quit.

yeah, they are good.. I also would like to try the peppermint and white chocolate.. I bet that would make an awesome cup of coffee..

DH got me both of those last year and again this year for Christmas. They are awesome!!! He got them from World Market.

When you guys use these syrup, so you still use milk or cream? I'm trying to figure out the best way to make my coffee low WW points and still tasty.
