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.

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.

Flatwoods · February 28, 2013 2:27AM

I like it. I hope you will too.

lordmarcovan · February 28, 2013 2:53AM

@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.

It's mine now. I just picked this one up. Here's a "true" monster!!...CHD

joeykoins · February 28, 2013 3:01AM

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

Good luck with kicking the addiction!

NumisOxide · February 28, 2013 4:41AM

You can do it LordM. Think about the savings, more money for coins!

SmEagle1795 · February 28, 2013 4:52AM

Best of luck beating the death sticks! As previous posters have said, you can use the funds directly for coins, guilt-free, and you'll feel better as well!

As for something you'll like, here are a few of my ancients (with new and improved photographs!):

Syracuse dekadrachm:

Octavian aureus:

Antoninus Pius aureus:

Put the ciggies down and walk away slowly.....no, wait, RUN!

I tried to find a picture of a nastly looking worn out Shield Nickel but alas, you'll just have to imagine one of those that you buried me in.......

If you don't stop smoking, I'm gonna send them to you Certified Mail so you'll HAVE to handle them once more.

lordmarcovan · February 28, 2013 7:27AM

Oooh, that dekadrachm...

lordmarcovan · February 28, 2013 7:29AM

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.)

JJM · February 28, 2013 7:48AM

you can do it!

crazyhounddog · February 28, 2013 7:55AM

I hope you do it bud. I can quit, it's staying away from the damn things is the hard part for me. I wish you all the best of luck my friend. Just look! Everyone is pulling for ya. Stay around for a while and enjoy all of the best the world has to offer. Hang in there....Joe

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.

GotTheBug · February 28, 2013 9:17AM

Good luck shaking off the smoking monkey - big challenge, big reward (more money to spend on coins)....

JazzmanJAB · February 28, 2013 10:15AM

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.

Crystal Palace >>

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.
