    Once that thing is sold (it's been on the market for 8 months), we'll no longer be pissing away $1,000+ for something we don't use.
    That means I can get a new truck! :viking:


    Or you can spend $1,000+ more on alcohol and merch on the cruise!
    :lol:

    Well, yeah, that too! I'm already planning on spending a shit ton of $ on the boat. :heavydrink: :party:

    Without a doubt, the housing market is "Brutal" right now. My neighbor's house sold last year for $10k less than I paid for my house ten years ago. :cry:

    Yeah, it's a crazy time. We have a bunch of foreclosures in our neighborhood (like most everywhere I guess). Unfortunately some of our friends are going through it.

    But enough somber stuff from me and back to rejoicing... I got my fire pit in the mail the other day and put it together. Tonight it is time to hang with my woman, drink and burn some shit!

    "Come on Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down!" :headbanger:
    Have a good time...all the time.

    let's say, hypothetically of course, that I do that regularly already...

    is that bad?

    So, I play roller derby and we have had a bout scheduled for this Saturday for quite some time. It's happening a mere two weeks after our league's last one, so things have been crazy trying to get ready in such a short time.....

    ....AND THEN we got notice that Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed are going to be in town, and are going to come to the bout!!!!! On top of that, they're going to be shooting for their reality show too. Things just got really crazy. I live in a small city in central/western Canada so it's not everyday we have big-time celebrities coming to local events. Shannon Tweed is from here and rumor has it they're looking to buy some property here or something.

    I don't really do the, "OMG OMG OMG you're famous, let me just be NEAR you for a minute" thing, but dude, it's Gene Simmons and I'm potentially going to get filmed playing derby and shown on the A&E network. Pretty freakin' cool!

    very cool, that may actually convince me to watch one episode of that train-wreck of a reality show. I really dislike reality shows...

    Seriously. I mean, it's not much of an insult, is it?

    I would have gone with:
    I hope your mother dies a painful syphilis related death, and when you have the wake, her corpse reawakens, and she bites your father, turning him into a zombie. Your parental zombies would then begin to consume the brains of everybody you know and love at the wake. You have to smash open a nearby fire emergency panel, which inexplicably has an axe in it, and hack the heads off of your undead folks.
    Only decapitation isn't as easy as you thought. It takes you 6 cleaves to sever your mother's spinal column, and you hear the scrape of metal on bone each time you bring down the axe.

    Your mother dispatched, you fix your sights on your approaching father. You're tired. Every strike with the axe is an almost insurmountable burden, sending the painful shock of lactic acid shooting through your overworked arms. As you bring down the now dulled blade laterally into the top of your dad's skull, you're reminded of the first baseball game he brought you to. You remember it well. Oh, how simple life was back then. You begin to sob uncontrollably as you attempt to pull the weapon from your now doubly deceased father, the fractured remains of his cranium crunching sickeningly with the exertion. It's no use.

    Your parents' badly brutalized remains lie mangled, dormant. The empty, accusing stare in their eye calls out to you.
    "You did this to us" they seem to say.
    You collapse on the ground, shaking, sobbing, terrified. What did you do to deserve this?
    The remaining undead close in around you, the stench of putrified flesh burning your nostrils. You want to run. You won't die here.
    As you attempt to rise to your feet, what was once your uncle grabs at your hair. You pull away, feeling the searing pain of your scalp being peeled from your skull. Your eyes burn from crying. You couldn't have seen the funeral director approach from the side. He sinks his teeth into the back of your neck. It feels at first like a great weight pushing down on you, but you soon feel the damage. Warm blood flows down your back, the wound pulsating and gurgling in synchronization with your heartbeat.

    You feel light headed. Everything appears to be blanketed in a gray haze; You feel as if you are looking through the eyes of someone else. A stranger in a morbid practical joke, maybe. You feel the distant sensation of hands touching you. The warm embrace of loved ones who have passed?
    This must be it!, you think to yourself. All of our hopes and dreams confirmed, an eternity of exuberance of and peace!
    The benevolent hands tighten their grip.
    You feel more teeth penetrating your skin.
    Blinding pain.
    No more thoughts.
    Darkness.


    This is 100% WIN! :cheers:

    I'm going to go smoke now. Sorry. :twisted:

    I remember quitting for about 8 months once, and I haven't felt that good since then. I suck at keeping control of my vices... it's like a bad rash, my habits just won't go away. Good luck though, and CONQUER ALL! :beerhorns:


    Thanks! I am very weak, and have quit many times. There are moments that I think that I am just meant to be a smoker.

    I have never taken a puff so I can't talk you through the physical withdrawal, but I got my wife off them when we first started dating. (I assume Karl is a smoker? If not, he needs to raise hell and make life miserable for you (so it becomes better when you don't smoke)).

    She was a very casual smoker, would not have them everyday, only when stressed or whatever she would have a few. Every so often I would find a pack in her purse and I would be pissed off (to put it mildly). I don't want to say I verbally "brow beat" her but I made it abundantly clear I was not going to tolerate that and that she needed to stop. I would throw the shitty smelling cancer sticks in the garbage.

    Thankfully she stopped completely soon after that, probably cause she got sick of hearing me whine and complain and carry on to her about it.

    Alot of it is mental and I like to think that if you view cigarettes as "corporations pulling the wool over your eyes" it would be easy to say "Fuck Them". You are paying for a product that corporate fat cats devised to addict you into buying all the time like a damn lab rat, while in the process killing you. The thought of that is insulting to me and I automatically REBEL.

    Try switching the smoking with something else like working out. I know for me to get rid of any "obsessive habit" I need something else to focus on as an outlet for me energy. Probably since I don't drink/smoke gamble, I make fun of Deb, annoy the hell out of my wife and am a general "wise ass" as my outlet to relieve stress.

    And if none of that works for you, you'll have my love and adoration if you quit. That should get you through any mental barrier. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    And I forgot the MOST IMPORTANT reason not to smoke (assuming you don't consider death/cancer bad enough):


    $$$$$$

    Why in hell would you pay for crap like that when you can buy more CD's, videogames, shows :? :? :? :? :? :?

    With the amount of folk metal bands popping up everyday, there's no way you can afford to follow them all puffing away all those "toonies"

    No way hon! Addictions don't run around sparing the strong and only thriving on the weak. It's way more complicated and insidious than that. And trust me (and the stats) hardly ANYONE quits any kind of drug once, the first time, end of story. I don't have the stats in front of me but I'd bet it's way less than 10%. It's possible, just not highly probable.

    I had to quit smoking several times before it really stuck. I'd quit for 2.5 years once and was certain I'd never smoke again but my brain found a way to convince me that just one was a good idea that one time. Took me another 3 or 4 years before I quit again and even now, with something like 6 years under my belt, I'm not out of the woods. I'm confident, but ya never know. Alcoholics Anonymous doesn't even count a member as 'successful' in their statistics until they have 5 years of complete sobriety, and some of those relapse too.

    The key is just to focus on each day or minute and not worry about big picture questions like being 'meant to be a smoker' No one is 'meant' to kill themselves slowly, day by day like that. It's just something we humans are susceptible to. Suicide on the installment plan is one of my fave sayings :lol:

    Trust me, stick with it and before ya know it, a full day goes by and ya haven't even thought of having one. Then, instead of having cravings triggered when you see others smoking or smell it on their clothes, you begin to be repulsed by it. Next thing ya know, a full week or a month goes by and it doesn't even cross your mind. It's awesome! And more money for cd's and gigs and TRIPS!!!

    Anyways, seriously, don't attach any guilt or disappointment to relapses past or current. They're a normal part of the process and only serve to reinforce the commitment on the next quit. I'm certain you'll be successful. Just treat yourself well through the whole process. I don't wanna sound too much like Stuart Smalley but you are worth it. If it helps, think of yourself as you would a dear friend who was doing something self-destructive. Would you guilt and shame them over a set back or for not being perfect or would you just gently encourage them to keep trying and then do something cool and fun to take their minds off their troubles?
