Do you know what are stupid?
Cigarettes.
Do you know what's more stupid?
Me three days off cigarettes.
There are five ways to fix a run-on sentence:
RUN-ON EXAMPLE: Cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy they seem worth it right now.
1. Make it two sentences:
Cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy. They seem worth it right now.
2. Use a semicolon:
Cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy; they seem worth it right now.
3. Use a semicolon, a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase, and a comma:
Cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy; however, they seem worth it right now.
4. Use a comma and a coordinating conjunction:
Cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy, but they seem worth it right now.
5. Use a subordinating conjunction:
Although cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy, they seem worth it right now.
I don't even smoke that much, people. I just obsess when feel denied, or when I can feel myself "healing" and "getting healthy". It's totally distracting.
I took a friend up on a MySpace invitation. Another friend suggested yoga.
So I'm all manic back and forth between MySpace and countless sun salutations. These are my current substitutions. It's ridiculous.

the one time i tried to quit with any success (six months), i kept a cigarette on my desk with with this written on it in sharpee: 7 minutes (which is apparently how many minutes a given cigarette takes off of a life -- a life specific to the smoking).
good luck.
Sadly, my first reaction was, "You wrote with a Sharpie on a perfectly good cigarette???"
But I love the visual.
And I appreciate the good wishes.
Thanks Kristi!
i'm totally coming here for all my grammar needs, babe. because you make it so fun! also good luck with all the addictions, withdrawals & substitutions ...
Hey Paula! It's Susan from VC. I just found your blog through Kate's. Yay! You should try Chantix--it's a new prescription anti-smoking drug that blocks cravings and obsessions.
Susan! Nice to hear from you. I have heard of this Chantix. If I fall back off the wagon again, I might have to look into it.
What are you up to??
