Both of them? :-)

There's a plausible explanation of course why some of these reports
have been hushed up or glossed over. There's a good chance that at
least a few of them have been sightings of secret projects of one sort
or another.

There's also an excellent chance that some of them have been large
meteors. I've seen a few spectacular displays while on the water at
night and they really get your attention. One was so bright that it
lit up the entire sky and was visible through the mainsail while
streaking from horizon to horizon in a few seconds. It left a glowing
trail behind it that stayed visible for a short while after it was
gone.

We were all momentarily speechless, not because of supernatural forces
but because it was just awesome.

Saw one like that myself a few months back 'round midnight when I went
out in the backyard for a smoke. All I could think was "holy shyt".

Possibly back in "the day" but Im just hooked on nicotine now.

A most powerful drug it is. The wife and I tried Chantix in January
and had pretty good luck with it for several months. It works as
advertised.

My brother is trying Chantix. He took it for a couple of weeks or so then
stopped. Hasn't had a cigarette in two or three months now after smoking
for 30+ years.

Promising.

That's a good start, tell him not to let his guard down. Based on
personal experience you are really not out of the danger zone until
you begin to find the smell of smoke offensive. Even after a year I
would still find myself reaching for a cigarette in stressful
situations.

Cigarette smoke doens't bother me much at all.

Booze now, that's an entirely different story.

I hate the smell of smoke on a person, but if I get a whiff of someone
lighting a cig. outside, it still smells good. I don't think I have a
had a cig. in over 5 yrs.

You are really not cured until you can smoke one in a bar and not have

Personally, and speaking from experience, I would never recommend
doing that. I found it easier the first couple of years to just stay
away from people who smoked. That's gotten a lot easier than it used
to be.

That was me..

I only took it for a couple weeks. And I was only taking
1/2 dose.(Doc sez to take it for 12+ weeks)

Its amazing how quickly I noticed a difference. 20 minutes after
the first dose, I lit up and wound up putting the thing out
before it was done. It tasted like cardboard.

I didn't start back for almost 5 months.

I don't know if taking the full regimen would have made a difference or not.
I still have loads of pills and am planning on trying again.....soon.

Oh yea... tell your bro to stay out of the bar for while.
