I had a roommate left spit cups in various places hidden from his girlfriend. I would put them on his dresser. I did not need to be told it caused cancer, I just found it disgusting, all the spit. The President is a fink. |

I'm certainly open to this. Was wondering if we could do something more akin to actions we have to take. I forget why but once you went to the Cathedral to light candles for people. I don't know what you might have me do but I don't plan on losing this one (famous last words). Let me know what you think. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Yes, I enjoyed the experience so much I lit a few more since then. I know you don't smoke but tobacco has caused untold number of deaths by lung disease. In that spirit, I'm suggesting I do the 2018 Scale the Stratosphere and I'll make a $500 donation to the American Lung Association as part of the conditions to do it. It's coming up so I'm putting you on the spot to succeed. We will have to think of some kind of serious penance if you fail. It's coming up on the 25th so I have to act quickly. I'll do it on your word of honor you will give it your best effort to quit for at least three months and there will be a punishment TBD if you fail. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Are you serious? I have had a cold this week and skipped at least two days this week. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I'm sorry Padre, I forgot I have to be at a funeral in the Los Angeles area the day before and will probably not return to Vegas until late the next day. Let's think of a plan B. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I'm a determined individual =p It's not even a question. I know I have never missed a day since summer of '99. Was sick as a dog this week, too. Still banged down 30 a day. Christ, man, I smoke on the ice where allowed. You know the guy you see sucking one down through his trach hole? Say "hi", cuz he is me. In perhaps the weirdest coincidence of the week, I did call the NYS quit line today. That call represents the entirety of my efforts to quit over the last... 19yrs. Nineteen years. F#$% me.
