EAST, Good job! Do you go to any of the support web sites? My wife has been to several.

FYI, I deleted 3 threads a few minutes ago in the 4 sale section, as the sellers did not meet the requirements of our classified section. If anyone was interested in any of those items, I can get you the information, otherwise, sorry, but we have rules for the protection of our MCF family. Been there, done that. Hope everyone understands why we have those rules.

Hi everyone! I haven't been around a lot lately cause I have been real busy. My Fiance got in to a Motorcycle accident on Saturday late afternoon so I've been taking care of him. He got this second Motorcycle from when he sold his 72 Monte. He has been trying to sell it and everyone who has looked at it was bitching that it needs tires. So, my Fiance goes to the dealership Sat afternoon to put new tires on it. It was cold, about 85 personal watercraft came through to get winterized and new tires makes a dangerous combo. He pulled out of the parking lot driving through a lot of water puddles and he started heading south on RT 83 and gave it a little bit of throttle and he wiped out. He scraped up the left faring, broke the turn signal, broke the foot petal and part of the throttle lever. So much for selling the bike - boy is he pissed. He ended up spraining his left ankle and breaking his left wrist. It could have been a lot worse. It only happened about 50 ft from the entrance to the dealership so the service guys heard it. They said my Fiance was the 4th guy to wipe out this year on new tires right outside the entrance of the dealership!

Hey thanks for the encouragement guys that means a lot not to be all sappy but man it's been ROUGH. Things seem to be getting better as time progresses though. I had maybe one weak crave today which is a world away from days 1-3.

I'm not literally counting down to the minute though, there's this counter addon for firefox that I'm using which also has how much money I've saved, kind of helpful in keeping me going.

and btw Budsjlm, just keep trying I dunno this is my first real quit (that's lasted longer than 24hrs). If I cave someday I'm going to just have to keep trying you know can't give up the alternative is no fun.

Thanks guys. My fiance is very careful and always wears a helmet and full gear. He got into a really bad accident about 20 years ago and broke his left leg really bad.

Hey Chris did you hear that Chris Chelious wants to play minor league hockey with the Chicago Wolves. What did he get kicked off of the Detroit Red Wings? I gotta give the guy credit, 47 and still wants to play hockey.
