Umm, the scoot is a 2003, bought it new, and it's paid for :) I smoke
cheap cigs, $18 a carton, and I smoke a carton every 2 weeks, so, let's
see, $468 a year for 15 years is only $7020. Nope, wouldn't buy even a
cheep scoot.

Butts are harder to quit than booze. As of 8/2, I've been off cigarets
for 16 years, and December 17 sees me off Courvoisier and Wild Turkey
for 19 years. I quite boozing when it hit $13 a fifth for the good WT,
and bailed out of cigarets when they hit $9 a carton. Of course, health
was the reason for both stops.
The idea of changing from cigarets to a chew never once slipped into my
mind. The butts could be daydreamed (stupidly so, but possible) into
some kind of classy deal back in the early '50s. Chewing tobacco was
always on the low end of the class scale. And it just plain looks nasty.

Foo!
So quit, save it up for a year, then buy a BRAND NEW Griz 1023SL
AND an 8" jointer, etc.
If that's not worth it, WHAT IS?
(Never mind that you smell like a week old ashtray to everyone

I "paused" once for a year... I guess I was pretty irritable, because my (now
ex) wife told me one day "why don't you buy a pack of smokes before we end up
divorced"...
Within about a week I was back up to a pack a day and 5 years later I got a
divorce, so it sure wasn't a good idea to buy that pack..
To get semi-on topic, I ave made a lot of ash tray holders and sold quite a few
snubbers.. (I used to market them as Butt Savers)

Regarding things over which we have little to no control, one must not
waste too much emotion.
We can either read, or not.
We can either comment, or not.
We can either be civil, or not. Or be silent.
I cannot, except through filtering or ignoring, change the behavior of
others, should they decide to disrupt this 'place'.

See, it was chaw and dip that I started on before smoking, and it don't
go well with my current profession (lead systems administrator) when I'm
in meetings all the time. I only smoke 1 carton every 2 weeks, and I
smoke cheap ones, $18 a carton after tax, so my cost is less than $500 a
year, I only smoke outside, so I'm only affecting myself. Besides, I
ride a motorcycle in heavy traffic every day, smoking is no worse than
all those friggin fumes I breath in while in traffic, and cigs taste
MUCH better than diesel fumes.

Maggy and I have a modest collection of trashy, tacky ashtrays.
Interestingly, ashtrays of any ilk are difficult to come by these days.
It used to be that you could go into most any souvenir shop and come
up with some possibilities. Now it's mostly antique shops. Hooray.

I just cheated. I quit smoking about 2 years ago using those tablet
things, and then switched to chewing tobacco. Cheaper, and it can't
possibly hurt anyone but me. Figure I spent about $42 a week on
smokes, and now spend about $5 a week on chew, so it comes out to a
decent compromise in my book, even if I still don't get to live
forever.

So solly, Chahlie. No can do. Bother away!
BTW, I watched "Supersize Me" the other night and became ill watching
the poor guy eat McDognuts for a month, almost killing himself. And
the statistics on obesity are staggering. One of the few things I miss
from LoCal is the percentage of fit, healthy people in the citizenry.
P.S: There is no such thing as "too much chocolate".

Well, everyone has got a devil. I quit drinking, drugs and junk food,
so I figure I'm doing ok. I suppose I could sit around wrapped in
foam and sip cold tea while contemplating the fung shui of the
