Wait, I'm not a morning person

That's a nice benefit to the quit. I am a morning person (typically) and I have also noticed higher energy as I wake up. Maybe it's because we are sleeping much better now that our airways are not compromised?

Hey - question for the board....
 
Without looking it up, can you tell me the difference between a boat and a ship?

It's a fuzzy question actually - I've always gone by the rule that a ship has boats. A boat is all alone. So.... A cruise ship has life boats. A submarine is called a boat because it has no other boats....
 
Again, it's fuzzy - see below from wiki...
 
Although there is no universal rule to distinguish a ship from a boat, ships are generally distinguished from boats based on size. Usually, ships are larger than boats. A commonly used rule of thumb is that if one vessel can carry another, the larger of the two is a ship. As dinghies are common on sailing yachts as small as 35 feet (11 m), this rule of thumb is not foolproof.
 
So there you have it - a ship has boats......

I'm really hurting right now...

DON'T GIVE IN!!!!!
 
You can do it - really you can. Deep breaths - take a walk - do whatever it takes to not smoke. The nicodemon is trying whatever it can to keep you from killing it. DON'T LISTEN.
 
I hope you're past the crave and you're still with us....
