Craven and Bi-Polar Bear have inspired OCCOM BILL to finally

Wonderful avatar, Jer, cool photo.

On lighters, I missed the lighters longer than I missed the cigs themselves. Hmm, I love lighters...

Maybe you could become an arsonist?

That reminds me of the urban legend:

A cigar smoker bought several hundred expensive stogies and had them insured against fire. After he'd smoked them all, he filed a claim, pointing out that the cigars had been destroyed by fire. The company refused to pay, and the man sued. A judge ruled that because the insurance company had agreed to insure against fire, it was legally responsible. So the company paid the claim. And when the man accepted the money, the company had him arrested for arson.

brought on a genuine...LOL!

OB, how ya doin?
Hey OB, how ya doin. You gonna make it over the July 4th holiday? Ya better or we'll beat your ass.

Steady as she goes.

No worries.
No problems.

Still want one bad, but ya know, them things will kill you so I choose not to.

9 more days till Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, July 11th 2004

Go Jer!

Yer a good man, O'Bill.
Especially now that yer circulation's fully restored :wink:

:wink:

GO OB and JER, THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU!

sooooooooooo, is O'Bill gonna make it to the one month mark?
is Jer really gonna give this a try?

enquiring minds want to know

O'Bill still wants a cigarette real bad about 10 times a day (which is a massive improvement). Despite knowing that the nicotine has long been out of my system, my body still manufactures the same gut feeling that I'm ready for a cigarette… silly psychosomatic BS. I will not falter. Urges usually go away pretty fast now and are not strong enough to get me. So far: no cheating, no problem, and no worries. Now; I have hardly left the house… and I haven't had a drop of alcohol since Friday, June 11th 2004... so I do still have some tests in front of me. To answer your question though dear, and thanks for asking: without question!

Jer... 3 more days until Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, July 11th 2004!

GO JER!

Go Jer!!

And Bill, too! If I did have any pull, the entire Green Bay Packer organization would currently be outside your window in formation, spelling out "GO BILL!"

Whoa, as the tingling of the Goosebumps starts to dissipate I find myself at a loss... I have no words to describe how much that statement moved me.

That's great, O'Bill.

Now you need to get out of the house more and take advantage of the benefits you've discovered.

Smell the sea air in the early early morning. Taste a perfect piece of fresh fruit. Kiss a beautiful woman.

I didn't say never leave the house, eh! I can hit the sea with a football from my balcony, have fruit trees just outside and you can't possibly think I've squandered my circulation.
Thanks again for the support you guys! I really don't think I would have done it without you. You've saved a life so smile. You have something to feel good about, too. :wink:

May I propose a special celebration for your one month anniversary as a non-smoker? CHANGE THE AVATAR, WILLYA?!

I was referring to



So run commando through the waves while juggling oranges and pineapples! Have an outrageously good time.

OB
Ob, I will pick the first fresh ripe tomato from my garden and send it to you in honor of your one month anniversary. Its worth my sacrifice to your victory. :wink:

I don't know, people seem to like making fun of the cigar in some pretty funny ways. I'll think about it. Maybe I'll post a half a dozen pics with different hair styles and let you ladies pick your favorite... Could be educational. Of course, I'll be wearing cheese before much longer anyway. :wink:

ehBeth: I have exercised vigorously a few times and the health improvement is remarkable already. I've maintained my pre-quitting weight at about 167 Lbs which is a bit of a surprise because I've been as high as 200 in the past. My thoughts of wanting a cigarette are immediately followed by thoughts of "why? Am I stupid". I new better before I started, they never did me any good and they eventually would have killed me. Why would I want that? (If I ever figure that one out, I'll start dating a different kind of woman too). I think you may have just inspired me. Maybe I'll start exercising first thing in the morning daily starting on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, July 11th 2004.

Do you think it's too soon to tackle another demon?

Re: OB
Too cool. Thanks BBB!
