A Local Card Collector Died he was only 44. I only knew him from the local card shows, but he seemed like a lonely guy wich was a shame cause he was nice. he collected Troy Aikman cards and i sell almost all vintage but he'd talk your ear off if you just said hi.
With a kid on the way and I am 33 it makes me sure want to start eating better and working out.

I'm 33 too. To be honest though, this makes me want drink more, eat crappy, and enjoy tobacco products, because you never know.
I've had some healthy people in my life die at a young age. Life would seem more fair if those people who ate crappy, smoked two packs a day, and never wore a seatbelt always died before those who lived a healthier life. But it doesn't work that way.
Each day could be your last, don't take any of them for granted. That should be the moral here.
And congrats and best of luck on your arriving baby. For me, that's a reason to live healthy. My dentist put the fear of "leaving my children early" in me to make me quit chewing tobacco over three years ago.
I've gotten off topic, sorry.

You're just a youngster. I am 38. I am currently fighting the chewing tobacco addiction. I have had a major struggle trying to quit. I have two daughters who are 14 and 11 years old and I want to be around to see my grandkids someday. I've tried everything...sunflower seeds...Trident chewing gum, but I am hooked on Copenhagen. I'm proud of you for quitting.
Sorry to here about your friend.

I couldn't agree more. One of the reasons I don't go back is because I know my 9 year old will follow in my footsteps if I get back on it, and I wouldn't wish the addiction (or any other for that matter) on anyone.
I just set a date ahead of time and gave it a try. You can't say you're going to quit tomorrow, you have to give yourself some time to prepare. My dentist told me in October of 2002 that I should think of quitting. I was turning 30 on March 5, 2003, so I made March 4 2003 my quit date, one day before I turned 30.
It was tough, and sadly enough, it still is. I felt I lost a best friend. I certainly don't mean to belittle or actually compare quitting to losing a loved one, but there was an empty feeling for a long, long time. Over three years later, and I'm afraid the feeling isn't going away.
But it does get easier, I suffered some wicked headaches for about three days after, and according to my wife, was not exactly pleasant for a couple of weeks. The desire is still there daily, the craving is just not as strong.
So I'm left waiting for the day they cure cancer so I can start up again. Until then, I'll savor the last one I had on March 4, 2003. I knew it was the last one....at least for a long time.
But my point is, again, that you really never know. I told my wife about a month after quitting that if I happen to go through all this by quitting and then die in a car wreck next week, know that I died pi$$ed off!
