They've hijacked the word "Cockamamie" and made it "Caca Meme"

The first one means "rediculous" "implausible"

The second  one means:

"Crock of bull tiny.jpg  tiny.jpg that comes out of someone's mouth who knows absolutely Jack tiny.jpg of what they're talking about, but will try to fake it for the sake of conversation."

Like a used car salesman?

When Mark and I were 8, my mom would bribe us to sit still by breaking squares off one of those giant Hershey bars so she could watch "Perry Mason."

Did your mom have a favorite TV show she just had to watch when you were young?

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
