I too started when I was 16. Quit for 2 years about 20 years ago (with the patch & running) - then started up again during a 'crisis'. Wife and I have been 36 hours now without a drag (on a cigarette) and determined to make it this time. In the process of washing all clothes that have any hint of tobacco scent on them, and really enjoying not smelling like smoke all the time (we never smoked (cigarettes) in the house. I've tried everything available before, and the patch is the only thing that helped me at all. Wife is hurting as her addiction seems 99% psychological and patches / gum don't do a thing for her. I'm very leery of ANY vaccine.
Looking forward to starting up jogging again.
This is the last straw. Now McCain will have to declare war on Iran and Canada at the same time. Oh well, it will be good for the economy (if you consider Haliburtin the economy).
My 1st 'PC' was an Atari 800 with a cassette tape drive for storage - usually worked about 1 out of 3 times. It had a native Basic, which I learned on. I still remember how excited I was when I purchased my 1st 5 1/4" floppy drive for the Atari (over $500)! When I graduated years later to a 'real PC' (home built 286), I started using MS QuickBasic and wrote software to control laboratory instruments for years, occasionally delving into assembler routines when absolutely necessary for speed (but never by choice). I still use QuickBasic today to write utilities, file parsing / extraction, etc.

It's a good thing bush can't read - he'd think this was good idea.
Wonder if this is deep enough to find the 911 passenger planes that were dumped at sea...
