Bear, This is what seperates the "bears from the cubs"!.....(oops I meant men from boys) You passed the test. Only a smoker in the quiting process can appreciate what it takes to come across such finds...only to not accept the "bad" fortune. When I found my cigarettes in that purse the world stoped. There was no audible sound, but only for a low pitched buzz. Like that when a TV channel has the emergency test. The one that goes..."This is a test...only a test... do not adjust your dial............" I think we need to analyis this bear. Could it have "not" been the sprinkler system to blame for the wet cigar...but the sweat from your brow? Either way..... I'd rather believe that God made it easier for "you" to "not" dance with the devil!! ;) Great job Bear!! It was a good day for you.

For you that don,t know I had a passion for a good cigar a passion that got me up to 5 a day.I also work part time on a high end golf course green fee,s are $195.00 for a round of golf.It is not unusual to find golf balls while I cut grass, kind of a bonus.This morning while I was doing my thing I spotted a golf ball in the rough,I stopped my machine,got of and went and picked up the ball.On my way back I noticed an object in front of my machine.Low and behold there it was !!! a fine Cuban cigar still in it,s wrapper laying there in all it,s splender.I was in a state of shock at my good fortune.As I picked it up my elation turned to grief, during the night the automatic sprinkler system had come on and this beautiful cigar was soaked.It would have taken a blow torch to light it.I swear a tear came to my eye as I threw it in garbage. :( [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 75 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,350 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $750.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48
