July 7, 20214 yr Here’s an exercise I like to do from time to time. I smoked a pack a day for about 15-17 years. Quit cold turkey in Jan 2003.20 in a pack. 30 days = 600 cigarettes a month.600*12 = 7,200 cigarettes a year.17.5 years at 7,200 per = 126,000 cigarettes I haven’t smoked.Fucking shit adds up.

The old stat that used to be thrown around was that every cigarette took seven minutes off of your life. So 126k cigarettes = 612.5 days not taken off of your life.

I hammered the importance of not leaving candles burning, if she even walks out of the room I would snuff it out. Seems to have caught on, but we'll see in a few years/months/weeks...

July 9, 20214 yr The good news is that very few homes here have AC (given the typical climate). And since our area of the country also has folks who make interesting hygiene choices, it's been quite a treat. No humidity, though... took the family on a ferry ride in the evening just to cool off. (OK- back to wives gonna' wife)We were surprised that 75% of businesses closed which caused us issues trying to find something to eat. Even the Mexican restaurants were closed. I was thinking - "Have they ever been to Mexico?"

July 9, 20214 yr good thing she left it in cruise control while it was parked.I’ll allow it. My truck never leaves cruise control. I think in the wife’s car and our Jeep the CC automatically turns off. Also, it’s a work truck so f all the dirt and the check light is because I haven’t had my tpms serviced
