NlghtJumper 0 #54 January 2, 2006 Its just one of those nice little kick backs from military service. We also get free housing, free utilities, and in some cases, free food at the DFac. And if you are stationed in another country where the currency is worth more than the dollar, we get COLA to help us out with the higher costs of everday idems. The biggest being gas. In Germany you are paying for a liter what you would pay for a gallon in the states. So they help us out and we pay normal US prices. Its a really good deal.

skyjames 2 #57 January 2, 2006 QuoteJust curious. If yes, plz state why you feel the need to. I used to smoke 4 packs of cigs a day, yeah count 'em 4! Most of 'em I never finished, or I would have 2 or 3 going at once. Once the beer light came on ('bout 5 pm) I churned them out one after another, often lighting a new one with the fading embers of the last. Keep the eternal flame going. I couldn't stand to smoke 'em befor I ate in the morn, but lived with a few gals that lit 'em up befor setting foot outta the bed in the morn, sheesh ,gag me will ya! Many years ago I quit cold piggy, no one could believe I just up and quit, but I did. A reformed smoker is the worst kinda person to light up around, what a pia I could be toward smokers polluting MY air. Years later I found cigars, I know god invented 'em just for me. Uppity cigar smoker I was. If the cigar didn't cost at least two bucks I wouldn't smoke it. No rhyme to that, it just was. Alas, I quit them also. I spent many hours trolling the deep blue with no action on the lines, that can be boring as hell. I picked up a packet of Backwoods one day on the way to the boat, man, they smelled great and tasted even better, that was maybe 10 years ago. Lots of ppl ask me what I am smoking (yeah even non smokers) and tell me they smell good. I assume "smell good" is a relative term, I still don't like the odor of ciggs, but you will see me at the DZ with a black and sweet Backwoods hanging from my mouth, if I ain't puffing on them, I am chewing the ends off. It's stupid, I smoke 'em like a cigg, I know it's bad, somehow it doesn't phase me. That girl who sings the country song with words sumtin like ,"I can hear you breath" musta sat next to me one time or 'nother. I was at zhills and this girl comes over and asks, "you were at Rantoul yes?" I didn't remember her, but she remembered me riding the golf thingy puffing away drinking my corona. Said she never saw me without one (cigar). Anyhoo, I generally ask if it's ok if I light up when around non-smokers, they can be sooo anal at times. What was your question again?

NlghtJumper 0 #58 January 2, 2006 I do cigars sometimes do. I was recently shown the light of flavored cigars in the way of amaretto. I will probably never smoke an un-flavored again! I also smoke it like its a cigarette. I guess I have been smoking so long that it is nearly impossible to not inhale normally... reflex or something As for AFN, dont even get me started! I tried watching the Superbowl last year while I was in Germany and I was on a NFL chat room at the same time. Everyone was talking about how great the commercials were. All I could say was, "What the one about not drinking and driving, or the one about wearing proper safety gear when riding a motorcycle?" Threw them all for a loop... I still wish I could have seen them commercials...

skybytch 273 #60 January 2, 2006 QuoteIm a bit of an ass so I probably dont put across what im saying very well but I would hate to be a slave to that product. Do you really think smokers don't hate being a slave to cigarettes? Do you think smokers like being social outcasts? Do you think they enjoy spending way too much money on them when they could be spending that money on other, more fun ways of killing themselves? Sure, smokers all chose to start smoking so, yes, it is our own damn fault, but once that monkey gets it's claws deep enough into our backs it's not a choice anymore - it's a PHYSICAL ADDICTION. I've heard it's harder to kick cigarettes than it is to kick heroin. I've never done heroin so I wouldn't know for sure, but from the perspective of 30 hours after making the decision that this time quitting is going to work, I do know that this is absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done.

I've been smoking for dam'n near 30 years, quit once for 3 months. The stress of going thru my divorce got to be too much so I picked it back up again.
