This is your last night...
... so smoke up!

Should we start placing bets on who will cheat first?

I have a prediction... BB will give in to the temptation on Friday, January 3 sometime after 8PM....

It's not that I don't have faith in ya, pal. It's just that the stress of watching OSU go up against Miami just might get the better of you.

Prove me wrong! :-)

Anyone else have any predictions?

I haven't had any since the ride back home yesterday. I think this is a great idea. What's the punishment for the first one to smoke? And we are starting right at midnight, right? ;)

yes you can Mike, it might take a trip to the ER to do it but it will work. I know first hand and I haven't smoked my pipe or anything in years.

Punishment - you have to divy up yer gear and give it to the others. Sounds fair... :)

Evergreen - Thanks. I was just telling Q yesterday that I feel real good about this.

Q - If I say "No way" then I'm implying that I may "cheat". But, if I say "Yes" and I end up cheating, I'm gonna lose all my gear.

Perhaps my best defense is to not respond to your suggestion at all.

I think there really shouldn't be any punishment, I'm sure there will be slip ups, but let's keep the spirt alive. Maybe we can make this into like a bag night thingy -
How Many Days Have You Been Smoke Free?

Start running! It helped me, somehow cut down on the urge. I don't run anymore but it definitely helped me during the first couple of years.

If you slip, don't give up, its just one, don't let it become two, then three..........

One day at a time!!!

CMB - I haven't asked him. But, I'm sure he really enjoyed it. I'll try to remember to ask him about it when I chat w/ him next.

Pathman - I took up running this summer and fell off the wagon in the fall. :-(

I do plan to start again once daylight starts a little earlier in the morning.
