92, actually - Herbert Taryton NON-FILTERED! 92! True story. Easy Peas

When Mrs. Sarge is ready to quit with, so we can do it together. HINT: She never was and still isn't ready yet near 3 years later. Don't wait on anyone else -- you might just be waiting forever if you do. Easy Peaey

On the bright side - at least you don't have cigarettes to pay for now, too, right? Easy Peasy

We're not "trying to" ... We Are! Even those who only manage to get in a day or three before relapsing ... that's a day or three better than before. :) Easy Peasy

The Sarge can think of more than a handful of quitters who are stupid. Some of them by birth, some worked hard all their lives to be stupid. Stupidity knows no bounds. Quitter or Smoker. Stupid is stupid. Quitter/Smoker and Smart/Stupid are orthogonal - independent of one another. Easy Peasy "Stupid is as Stupid does ..." -- Momma Gump

After 6 full weeks off (Achilles pain), The Sarge had his first run this morning. A pain-free (YAY!) run, even. 4 miles, treadmill, 1% hill/grade @ 33:35 (8:23/mile) - starting slow and working back to race pace. Easy Peasy EDIT: And Mrs. Sarge asked about a quick 2.5-miler tonight before sunset. Sarge feels so good about running again with no achilles pain, he's gonna go ahead and run with her tonight, too.

Just leave it at home. It's like The Magic Feather. Ya don't need it to fly. You can fly without it ... Fly! Easy Peasy

If you take a "holiday", it will be a Smoking holiday. You know it. I know it. Everybody here knows it. Why would you do that? Aren't you about done with all this bullsh*t yet? Easy Peasy

Today was "Orchard Expansion Day, Fall 2014". A whole mess o' Black Walnut in somebody's future (Not Sarge's - He'll be about a-hundred-and-four years old before these are in peak production years). 16 Black Walnuts planted in 8 holes ... hoping to net 1 or 2 Black Walnut seedlings in Spring/Summer 2015. The ones that don't pop on their own and appear dead will be filled in with White Walnut (English Walnut) saplings purchased from the nursery next spring. Nutty Buddy

Have ya seen Sarge's garden? https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.745171265503443.1073741840.100000317292043&type=1&l=235fd942e5 We get about 80% of our food from the yard. For free. Easy Peasy

Space. Square footage. Pumpkins eat space for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With most stuff, you can go vertical on a trellis if space is short, but watermelon and pumpkin really don't work on a trellis. Also timing. Where Sarge lives, it's too late to start pumpkins this year (middle of June at the latest here in Ohio) ... but you can work on pulling sod, tilling/hoeing/weeding, and improving the soil for next year. 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day, about 100 square feet per plant (10 x 10-ish, depending on variety) If space is tight, you can prune it to run between other rows in the garden, or around trees and shrubs, etc. They're pretty carefree here, but powdery mildew runs rampant. Baking soda and water sprayed will lower pH to where it gets under control. Can't get rid of it here, but can be managed well. Easy Peaey

Tell him Sarge thinks he's crazy, too. The Sarge's don't spend $40 a month between both of 'em on people food. Easy Peasy

"Domingo". Sarge's first "roommate" (if you can call 'em that) in The Army after Basic Training was his little Cubano Buddy from Miami: Domingo Hernandez. Best buds as newly minted Privates in The Army ... but always wondered who would name their kid "Sunday". [1] :D Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] "Domingo" is Spanish for "Sunday"

You smoked because you wanted to smoke. Blaming other, unrelated events will not help you. Responsibility for your actions will. BTW: The "just don't smoke" is the only thing that ever worked for anyone, and the only thing that can possibly work. Everyone who's ever quit successfully has used it, and everyone who has failed a quit has ignored it. Everyone. Ignore it at you peril. Embrace it and you win. Easy Peasy Easy Peasy

We are addicts. We are Nicotine Junkies. As such, we will never be "not at risk". BTW: Where, exactly, is this "big smoke free world" you seek to venture to? (HINT: It doesn't exist ... and you are already where you want to be.) Easy Peasy
