Run, John, RRRUUNNNNN!!!!! Sue, wait, come back, I have wine & chocolate! Yeah, that's it. Come back now. OK, you have to put down the skillet. I know he has it coming, yes boys are stupid but you need your hands free for this wineglass, there you go, and this plate of gorgeous chocolate. There, now, isn't that better?

Well, Bear, if being able to sleep, breathe, taste, smell, & actually enjoy some of your retirement years in good health isn't enough to ring bells & blow whistles for you, then I suggest you take a trip down to the hospital & observe the patients dragging their oxygen tanks & IV's, or wheeling their chairs outside in the freezing cold to get a fix of what put them there in the first place. Plus, you got to meet all of us & there are definately some ding-dongs & yoohoo's around here! And we all love you.

Bear??!!! You haven't realized what you've accomplished? Let's start with $2,370 and 54 days of life. We know that all our days gained are vacation days and good hair days, and if that isn't enough, think of how great you sleep and how there's no lung butter in the shower in the morning. Think of how much better you smell, how much better food tastes, think of the fresh air smell, the flowers in the Spring, a whiff of perfume when a pretty lady walks by. Think of all the quitters you've inspired here, all the advice you've given and the example you're showing. Bear, think of the friends you've made and how much bigger and brighter your world is. Haven't realized what you've accomplished?? C'mere. No, a little closer, there ya go. Slllaaapppp! That what you needed? No prob, that's what I'm here for. Silly Bear. Sheeesh.
