27 1/4 years without a cigarette. I still reach into my pocket looking
for them.

Those things killed my dad and SWMBOs mom.
You dodged a bullet.

So, what was it about 1983-1984 that made people give things
up?

It was difficult, because my boss and co-workers
made a point of going out for pizza and beer at
least once a week, sometimes twice.
I really liked those "lunches" but after months
of this I just felt awful, with bloat and stomach
problems.
My boss didn't understand why I started begging off
of "pizza lunches" and tried to convince me to join
them again. I didn't have the testicular mass to
tell him I thought the group was headed for
alcoholism.

I tried something different.
I joined the corporate gym and went on fast jogs
around the park behind the company. A shower and
a modest snack followed.
I started feeling much better and before long
I lost a *lot* of weight and my muscle tone and
endurance really improved. I noticed that I was
thinking more clearly too.

So I figured my conscious steered me in the right
direction.

Or you simply could have eaten less pizza, drank less or no beer and
been the designated driver plus run the laps etc etc on your own time.

And been popular amongst the group. Sometimes this works..sometimes it
only gets puke on your floor boards.

But there were a number of options.


Gunner, who doesnt drink but loves pizza and doesnt mind telling them to
puke in the bag I keep under the seat for just such occasions. Well..its
a dog turd bag...but the pukeee never notices


One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
