I'm in dire need of entertainment and stimulation.

I have not had a cigarette in exactly 23 hours, now.

*gasp*

Trying very hard to be good.

Actually, I'm doing better than on past attempts to quit.

    You're right, Baley. I like that. image

    Actually, I think that maybe instead of posting pathetic and lame "entertain me" threads on the forum, what I should probably be doing is getting some physical excercise.

    Not one of my strong suits.

    Maybe I'll dust off the metal detector and head out. It's sunny and fairly pleasant today.

    So just post whatever YOU like on this thread. If it also happens to be something I like, so much the better. image

    @mingot- good for you! Congrats on 30 days! I've got ONE day, now.

    @flatwoods- oh yeah, you know I like that. Medals like that could seriously lead me astray down the path to exonumia.

    I like how the cathedral medal detail in your avatar picture is so perfectly 3-D it looks like a sepia-toned photo of an actual cathedral interior. That's a testament to how well-engraved those pieces were, I guess.

    Keep it up buddy,we're pulling for ya! Keep on thinking of something else. Like in the James Stewart movie,"Carbine Williams". Jimmy said something ,that I will never forget. He said," It is impossible to think of two things at the same time." That's why he invented the Carbine rifle (Carbine Williams) while spending time in prison. Williams invented the rifle to only think of the rifle,not prison! So keep focused on other things,my friend. You can do it. I hope this is what you'll like? -joey imageimage

    BTW, I did go out digging.

    Well, fossil hunting.

    Found a few things.

    Might post video over on the MD forum later, if it turned out. (First time with the new headmounted camera, so I dunno.)

    365 days and counting - I quit together with my wife last February. We saved approximately $2400 in one year. But the money is not most important. Finally, I can breath a little bit better and my car smells good. I smell a bit better too and my little boy don't see me sucking that cig.

    Good Luck L.M. !

    I tried to quit a thousand times. The Nicotine Patch was the only thing that worked for me.
    It made the process almost painless.

    Haven't smoked for 11 years now.

    Flatwoods, the medal you have was created by John Pinches of Sydenham, England to commemorate the New York Crystal Palace( a smaller scale reproduction of the London Crystal Palace), which was constructed for the "Exposition for the Industry of All Nations" during 1853-1854. The London Crystal Palace was constructed earlier, as the venue for the London International Exposition in 1851.
