I probably can't even get a A+. Excellent work there. 🙂
 
Good news eh? Well, I don't really know if this counts, but I became a Volunteer firefighter last month. I really enjoy it. 🙂

I'm not as fit as I could be... 5'10" 195lbs... a bit flabby and not particularly flexible, my main source of exercise being ice hockey refereeing and walking my Rottie mix (and I stress walking... he needs to smell everything... running is impossible with him), so lower body was okay, upper body was basically ignored... in the 3 months I've been at it, I'm discovering I'm getting more flexible (btw I'm 41 yrs old) and the endurance is getting better too (our teacher uses boxing elements in our training also)... there's a guy that's over 400 lbs in our class... it's all about desire, determination and discipline! Start up and keep with it 🙂

Thanks for the info 🙂

Btw lbs means nothing to me ,I use stones or Kgs ,I'm 5'10" ,about 12.5st ~80kgs (I think)
 
good news, for me and my family and bad news for anyone unfortunate enough to be around me for a while: i go on the patch wednesday to stop smoking 😛

i should finish my last smokes by then and i pick up the prescription today.

No problem... 195 lbs @ 2.2 kg/lb = ~89Kg... I think... 😛

Great job on your desire to kick the habit! That's the first step!

A guy at work here tried hypnosis... he's been off for over a week now... a woman here at work tried hypnosis and was smoking again the next day... not sure how hypnosis suppresses physiological needs/desires brought on by addiction... but it seems to be hit an miss.
 
thanks guys. i managed to quit for over a year some time ago so i know i can do it. in fact i did it while hospitalized for a week or so a couple years ago. so it can be done.

the problem is filling in the 14,000+ times a year i lit up with something more productive 😛
 
Now I can post and actually be really cheerful about it! I got my taxes done this evening(H&R Block) and am anticipating a refund of about $3,100 from the Feds. :Q 🙂

Aside from bills that I'm going to be cheerfully paying off with the funds, I also spent $300 on the Microsoft Action Pack. For those that don't know, this is a great way for consultants and others to get a TON of great MS products legally to try, test, develop, use, etc. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/partners and click on the link to "Subscribe to Microsoft Action Pack" to learn more. 😉

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to installing XP Pro, Office 2003, 2003 Server, 2003 Exchange Server, 2005 SQL Server, etc. on my home-office computers. 😎

[/i]Financial note: Yes, I know that I'd be wiser to be getting a little extra in each paycheck during the year and investing it to gain the benefit of interest along the way.. I just haven't been disciplined enough to do so.[/i]

I always wanted to be a firefighter growing up. They somewhat recently changed the requirements to include a couple years of college. I don't want to go back.

Excellent! I'm looking at about $2200, and have been eyeballing that Action Pack for about 6 months now... And, I, too, am not disciplined enough to put the extra money aside each paycheck either! :roll:
