Hang in there and stay focused. If you're suffering a bit, try going for a brisk walk or get yourself engrosed into something thoughtfully interesting. Next you'll be needing to do a thorough clean-up to get rid of the lingering stale smells as your own sense of smell and taste come back. Avoid using "air freshners", they just add to whatever stink regardless of what the advertising claim! Good luck, And good smoke-free crunchin!

Decided to buy myself a present, partially paid for with the proceeds of not smoking.....I am sure I've kept at least $100.00 in my pocket since quitting.... Gonna try to pick out a new digital camera this weekend..... Maybe some new kitty pics on the way!!! A kitty keeps loneliness away. More meowing, less hissing. I speak meow, do you? Have made friends in this life. Most were cats.

Or wait for a couple more weeks & buy a really sweet one! Let us know what you got, & what you traded it for! An added something is that you're helping our faltering economy. What did you smoke before? I just stopped by the drive-thru the other day and Marlboro was $4.08 a pack. WOW. Am I ever glad I quit 3 years ago. *pulling up the calculator* I saved about $4380 over 3 years. (Funny, I still feel broke) Account frozen... ID: 774262 · |

Pall Mall straights.......and they were over $6.00/pack since Wisconsin added an additional $1.00/pack tax the first of the year....... A kitty keeps loneliness away. More meowing, less hissing.

Don't forget Mark, I pledged £100 ($200) if you kept off the fags until Xmas. That still stands. Well done so far. Those are my principles, and if you don't like them ... well, I have others.

EDIT....after reading the Seti USA bid again, it looks like the first installment payment is due at the end of July for July's crunching.... A kitty keeps loneliness away. More meowing, less hissing.

I figured it out and I quit 24 years ago. Yes, I'm as old as dirt. Maybe the fact that I scared the crap out of myself at a relatively young age is why I'm still here. Hang in there, Mark. Maybe then we'll all be here bitching about the price of new fuel cells in 10-15 years.  Join the PACK! ID: 774579 · |

Mark just read the thread. I was always too much of a tightwad to smoke. When I might have smoked the price though piddling by todays' standards, still amounted to 2/3 of my income at the time. I am proud of your efforts. Keep it up. By the way have you heard how John Gant is doing. If you make it to Xmas I'll donate to Fox Valley. Ed Do not live your life for anyone else.

Who the heck has the dilithium crystal market rigged anyway???? I used to get my street racer recharged for 20 or 30 credits......now it costs 60.....dang Martians....... Ever since their dilithium fields started to yield 60% purity, they think they own us all........we need to start drilling on the moon right now...... A kitty keeps loneliness away.

Good to see the humour and mind is else where. Keep up the resistance, Mark, and another long week end will have been successfully conquered. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Tell ya what pees me off, why is it that every last darn thing you enjoy in this life is supposed to be bad for you? 'cos people take the 'good' to extremes and it's the excess(iveness) that is bad... All good should be good in moderation... I'm sure there'll be a lot about that in the Zen/Buddism writings...
