The signal-to-noise ratio (woodworking being the "signal") is pretty low
(probably similar to here), but the "noise" is considerably more palatable.

waste too much emotion.

We can either read, or not.

We can either comment, or not.

We can either be civil, or not. Or be silent.

I just cheated. I quit smoking about 2 years ago using those tablet
things, and then switched to chewing tobacco. Cheaper, and it can't
possibly hurt anyone but me. Figure I spent about $42 a week on
smokes, and now spend about $5 a week on chew, so it comes out to a
decent compromise in my book, even if I still don't get to live

See, it was chaw and dip that I started on before smoking, and it don't
go well with my current profession (lead systems administrator) when I'm
in meetings all the time. I only smoke 1 carton every 2 weeks, and I
smoke cheap ones, $18 a carton after tax, so my cost is less than $500 a
year, I only smoke outside, so I'm only affecting myself. Besides, I
ride a motorcycle in heavy traffic every day, smoking is no worse than
all those friggin fumes I breath in while in traffic, and cigs taste
MUCH better than diesel fumes.

Butts are harder to quit than booze. As of 8/2, I've been off cigarets
for 16 years, and December 17 sees me off Courvoisier and Wild Turkey
for 19 years. I quite boozing when it hit $13 a fifth for the good WT,
and bailed out of cigarets when they hit $9 a carton. Of course, health
was the reason for both stops.

The idea of changing from cigarets to a chew never once slipped into my
mind. The butts could be daydreamed (stupidly so, but possible) into
some kind of classy deal back in the early '50s. Chewing tobacco was
always on the low end of the class scale. And it just plain looks nasty.

Maggy and I have a modest collection of trashy, tacky ashtrays.
Interestingly, ashtrays of any ilk are difficult to come by these days.

BTW, I watched "Supersize Me" the other night and became ill watching

the statistics on obesity are staggering. One of the few things I miss

but alas, I started back smoking after 5 years quit and haven't quit again.


All I can say about the smoking is "FOO!" Tha money could have bought
you a new (or classic) scoot by now.

Well, I made it to 20. Happy Days! www.diversify.com/20yeartoken/


Umm, the scoot is a 2003, bought it new, and it's paid for I smoke
cheap cigs, $18 a carton, and I smoke a carton every 2 weeks, so, let's
see, $468 a year for 15 years is only $7020. Nope, wouldn't buy even a
cheep scoot.
