Just went outside to smoke my last ever cigarette when I noticed a gang on youths climbing over our complex wall and then start trying to break into our cars.

So, Tuesday night will be the night to give up cigarettes!
Wow scary night!

And yep, we all have to give up cigarettes.

I just can't seem to get that far. Good luck Rosemary!

Rosemary, F-A... sounds as if you've both had more than your share of "excitement" lately. Let's hope all that settles down and things start going better for you. (Having had my place broken into -- former place and more than once -- you have my utmost sympathy....)

I AM GETTING TIRED OF THIS SITE LOCKING ME OUT FOR DAYS AT A TIME THEN COMING BACK ON FOR NO OBSERVABLE REASON.
WOULD THE PERSON WHO HAS LAID A CURSE ON ME PLEASE P.M. ME SO WE CAN COME TO SOME REASONABLE TERMS.
OH, AND I DIDN'T APRECIATE THE DAY OFF IN BED WITH FLU, EITHER. WITHOUT A CAT, IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT.

Poor Chris. You're right, though, being sick just isn't worth it if there isn't a kitty to take care of you...or at least curl up on top of you. Hope you're feeling better.

Can't really address the other problem, since I use this internet thing but don't know how it works...I still insist that it's magic...and I certainly would never curse you.

Rosemary...Sounds like too much stress to try to quit the cigs. A friend of mine used to have his life go all to pieces every time he decided to try to quit, so he never could quite do it. I hope you have more success than he did.

And, thanks for the Aussie sunshine...it arrived here right on time for a beautiful, clear day. I think I'm feeling better, although this creeping crud is trying now to turn from a head cold into a chest cold, and I've gone through another half-box of kleenex.

Gods, that computer trouble must be annoying beyond belief, Chrispy. I hope the problem is sorted asap.

And I hope you Chrispy, and you LMA feel better very soon

I just gave the ciggies up again, I had been off them for ages but got lazy and the 'odd one' had gotten less and less odd. I hate to throw in an ad but I did find a book by Allen Carr was brilliant for getting me in the right frame of mind to quit.

My sympathies to everyone who's had things stolen/damaged lately

Almost $1.50 here in Sydney. Its outrageous.

Why do I have to take a test about Employment when I will probably never be employing someone?

I had that same problem with a different forum I used to be on. My ISP, Tiscali, would block access to it, and then 2/3 days later BAM, it would appear again. I hate that. You have my sympathies.

Do you get any error messages at all? What happens when you're locked out?

Well I hope the basket gets no joy and all the grief it deserves, and some more for doing that.

Just says "we can't find this URL, are you sure you're spelling it right? Or else there might be a technical error with the site".
This on three different computers, four different operating systems, and four different browsers (yes, including Opera).
It drops out mysteriously in the midddle of a page change, stays away for a couple of days, then one day I try, and it's back.
It's driving me sane, I tell you, completely comventional!
