That is awesome Astrofan! My wife Susan said one day when we smoked she was at the grocery store and asked the lady at the counter for a carton of cigarettes. The clerk said, you should not smoke. Sue gave her that "Mind your own business look" and walked out. A few months later, she saw that same worker in the store, approached her and told her that we quit. The girl from the store was so happy she gave my wife a hug. Do you suppose someone in her life had died from smoking? Maybe so? Do you ever wonder if you quit just in time to prevent you from getting lung cancer? I do.

Good job, Astrofan!!! That's like looking that devil straight in the eyes and slapping him up side his head!!! I, too, will be up against my first major test this evening... "Friday Night Shot Night" with the neighbors! Well, sometimes we do shots and sometimes not. The thing is that they both smoke little cigars and I usually join in. NOT TONIGHT! I'll drink a beer or 2 and maybe have a shot, but I WILL NOT be smoking ANY tobacco product!! I QUIT! I'm even sort of looking to the competition!!! (What, am I crazy???) Anyways, good luck tonight and over the weekend and continue winning the battle with our adversary!!! Jim PS DL, thanks for your welcome and support since I've been here!! Maybe you should look into some velcro boots! Easier than laces!!
