What debate? You don't allow a debate [1] Easy Peasy FOOTNOTE: [1] Ol' Nancy had it right, waaaaay back in the 1980's.

You will be stressed whether you smoke, don't smoke, quit, try quitting, give up, relapse, stay quit or not ... The stress is independent of all this. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Successful quitters learn this. Serial relapsers never quite understand it. Easy Peasy

Tonail fungus. Easy Peasy

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not yesterday. Not TODAY. Not tomorrow. The Sarge doesn't notice anymore. That's the best single thing, TODAY (or EVER). You will (sooner than you think) not even care about a damned cigarette any more, nor will you even remember what it was like to want one. Easy Peasy

The Sarge never understood multiple credit cards. He has one. Uno. It's both a debit card to one of his bank accounts as well as a credit card. One card. One number (its memorized). One bill to pay. One card to cancel should something adverse happen. Easy Peasy

The Sarge hasn't run in a week. There were two skipped runs last week that miles need made up on. A 10k and a 5k (9.3 miles, total, missed) As such, tonight's 10k will insted be a 10-miler, making up 3.8 of the missed miles. Easy Peasy

Sounds like a good reason to smoke [1] Lotsa folks are gonna have to move in the next century or two. No - really - something like half the world's populations live within 100 miles of ocean coast lines. [2] Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] Not Really. [2] The Sarge is safe. The SargeStead sits on a plot of land that is at 859 feet of elevation. See levels would have to rise 200 meters higher than present for Sarge and family to have to move.

Poison Ivy, anyone? FML

The Sarge thinks he's gonna cry like a baby when they can no longer be patched, sewn, repaired, mended, fixed ... It will be a sad day for Sarge when The Magic Pants are retired from active duty. Easy Peasy

The Pants (and The Hat) are required uniform for outdoor adventure with The Sarge. It wouldn't be the same without 'em. Easy Peasy

The Pants showcasing The Gut (The Sarge was heavier as a smoker. He lost 36 pounds after quitting) Taking a standing break somewhere up the Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains Hiking is much easier (and peasier) without The Gut. Easy Peasy

The Pants Hardening The F_ck Up an overlook above Yosemite Valley Aaaaannnnd The Pants taking a break because Sarge's Ass was SPANKED hiking up there (he was a heavy smoker in those years) Easy Peasy

Perfect. ^^^ 10 out of 10 : would wear! Easy Peasy

The Pants (in shorts mode) just chillin' on some random, un-named trail in Arizona. Easy Peasy

Unknown (precarious) location - but you can just make out The Shorts and The Hardening it took to cross that wall. Easy Peasy

A Harden The F_ck Up hike from The Colorado River up to the Tonto Plateau and out across the Plateau to the Plateau Point overlook with The Magic Pants

Taking it easy (in The Shorts mode - it was 117 degrees down there that day) and dipping into the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon - those dogs were barking after a 14-miler down the North side of the Canyon ... and really weren't looking forward to the next two days of uphill.

16:20. That's ... uhhh ... Military/Sarge time for 4:20, right? Easy Peasy

The Pants in iminent, grave, and mortal danger somewhere in the Kaibob. That was looong ago - some time pre-patches (which would put it pre 2005-ish... sorta ... maybe ... ???)

Hardening The F_ck Up with The Pants after a COOOOOOOOLLLLLLD overnighter (had to scrape the ice off the inside of the tent - who knew? Ice in deserts ...) somewhere back-country in the Pinto Basin. That was a hard, hard night. You can see it in The Sarge's face. Easy Peasy
