First things First - CONGRATULATIONS "Prism" on reaching your 2 Year Anniversary to one of the "Sweetest Ladies" I know . . . And as for "Lox" & "Rip" you know I think You 2 are Great and "My" Friends also - but I don't want you to get upset or lead people on if I call you "Sweet" (although You BOTH ARE ) - So I'll just sent your a Simple Congratulations to just "Butch" it up for Ya' Bro's . . .

AH - What the heck - COME OVER HERE ALL 3 Of YOU . . .

Okay - NOW, Where is that PARTY . . .

Yea - somehow I still don't feel right going through with becoming a VET . . .

I was and still am having the problem with my turning day - since I still smoke "analogs"

 

[pwyll]

Jeez, you should have PM'd me!!!

Well, it started out as a half-jest/half-long shot inquiry to Dave if he'd be interested in trading the Genesis Mini he had up for sale in the classies for my nickel TB and it kind of snowballed from there. Actually took me by surprise

Don't sweat it Uncle so do I. I wasn't ashamed to smoke and I'm not ashamed I'm trying to quit. Quitting is hard or none of us would be here. Just stop counting the ones you smoke and count the ones you DON'T. Most importantly just keep trying. I'm sure we'll all get there eventually. I know I've come a long way.

I was doing this movie quote thing, I had fogotten how powerful the following speech was from 1975's Network.......

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, .......n it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

Oh - I don't really count what I smoke any more . . .

And - with all the help I am getting from everyone here and all the encouragement - I am quite happy to say I no longer smoke the 1/2 to 1 PAD "analogs" I use to . . .
