Duffis, your story is so touching to me... and as much as I've read, I had no idea that smoking contributed to osteoporosis! I'm still learning... [quote] Tomorrow we celebrate my 18 month and her 6 month quits. How good is that, I ask you? [/quote] How good is that? It's absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on 2 big milestones! I'm proud you're an Unsmokeable and that you've been there along my journey... and I'm so proud of pete. She's struggled and come through with flying colors. Both of you are such good examples. You and that bride of yours... keep taking good care of each other. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/2/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 556 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,138 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1984.92 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Dear Bob, Things just won�t be the same around here without you. With 18 month/6 month quits and all that you are coping with at present, I can certainly understand your bowing out. Your legacy will live on with all the clubs you began and through your many thought provoking posts. Thank you for all of your advice, support, and mostly for your friendship. It�s been an honor. Love, Hummy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/5/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 464 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 18,598 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3016 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 60 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Dear Bob & Roxanne, You will be soooo missed on this site. I do understand why you feel the need to leave, but, like others, I wonder which came first the chicken or the egg. Anyway, I just want to thank you for your friendship and for so much wisdom gleaned from contact with you and Roxy I will remain in contact with you I hope and I wish you both all you wish yourselves for the future. Huge Congratulations for the 2 anniversaries......18 months and 6 months. I love you both.........Lolly. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/25/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 626 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 21,930 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �3130 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 87 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Duffis, it's hard to express anymore insight about how valued you are and have been. However I would also like to be on the record of expressing my appreciation for your keen insights, honesty, and support. I know nothing of the changes you refer to as I tend to dip in and out of the support group here. I do however recognize the cream and you are on the top. Good luck with whatever road you and your lovely bride take. May you enjoy the rest of your journey to its fullest. Duckman

Duffis, Just wanted to wish you well and congratulate both you and Roxanne on your "milestones". There's been an awful lot of unpleasantness on this site of late .... but that happens from time to time. I read a post that you made on another thread that 'indicated' that your decision to depart from the site would still stand? I so hope that decision has not been made because of some of the comments that have been made? Your knowledge and support would be missed here so much and you are far too valuable to the members here to just walk away. However, it is YOUR choice, and one that will be respected if you do seriously choose to see it through. Take care and look after that wonderful quit :) Rachel Two years, five months, two weeks, two days, 22 hours, 56 minutes and 43 seconds. 17959 cigarettes not smoked, saving �4,040.61. Life saved: 8 weeks, 6 days, 8 hours, 35 minutes.

As I hope and pray I did nothing to cause your decision, the following is provided: I have been here for 4 1/2 years. I have had rifts with other strong minded individuals and my personality got in the way. I would get feeling hurt, lash out and then get the infamous letter from the staff pinning my ears back. Regardless, I knew one thing for true...by helping others (like you have always done) did nothing more than reinforce my own resolve. People actually thought I was doing all that posting to help them...wrong. I was doing it for myself :-) Just don't do it. You mean to much to us all.

Hey Bob, Here's some more bad news for the site - I'm staying!! Your sagacity and support during the past 18 months has been duly noted but you have decided to move on so I respect that; I take this opportunity to thank you and I wish you and Roxanne good luck in the future.
