		<description>Evil Genius - What is this &quot;insurance&quot; you speak of?

Nat - Thanks. :)

Stephanie - Keesha and Memphis bug the crap out of me, but I love Dan and Renny. And while Hilly HATES Jerry, I don&#039;t. I kinda like him, though he is really old-fashioned. Cuz, y&#039;know, he&#039;s 75.</description>

You know.

In case you didn&#039;t hear him say it 4,968 times.</description>

		<description>There was a study, apparently it takes like three or four or 20 tries before you actually quit -- for good. 

Congrats on the gig, and not smoking for 5 days. :) You&#039;ll get the hang of it.</description>

		<description>The only thing I can balance is my checkbook. And that&#039;s because it&#039;s got a fucking two-digit balance most of the time. Bah. Balance schmalance. Highly overrated.

Congrats on your new job and I&#039;m so glad you&#039;re loving it! I hate mine like a bitch in heat, but I need the insurance. Sigh. That&#039;s THE MAN again.</description>

		<description>Avitable - Thanks, I&#039;ll definitely do that. You know, when I quit again.

Blondefabulous - Yeah, I was chewing on straws. It&#039;ll happen in the next couple of days and I&#039;ll announce it again.

James - Thanks, dude. Yeah, I dig what you&#039;re saying. I&#039;ve also thought about how bizarre and abstract the concept of currency is. If it&#039;s not important, why do I want it so badly? :)

Whit - didn&#039;t know you did the tech writing thing. Yeah, not the most creative outlet in the writing world.

Penny - It&#039;s not the job stressing me out. I love the job. It rocks. It&#039;s other shit.

Penelope - Yeah, that sounds like a great working environment. In the tech writing world, though, those sorts of places are few and very far between.

Sodapop - If I figure out the balance thing, I&#039;ll probably be on my deathbed. :)

Crys - Exactly. ;)

Heaven&#039;s Devil - Great advice.

Sybil - Yeah, hope I don&#039;t need a lawyer. Except for making out a will or something.

Britt - Actually, yeah, I can buy into it. Because it&#039;s all about making FUN of them. That I can dig. If I had to write fluffy lovey dovey stuff all the  time, I&#039;d gag. And I&#039;ll call you soon.

Becky - Thanks!

Princess - Yeah, just need to stop again.

Metalmom - Heh, thanks for the tough love, babe.

Finn - Thanks.

Hello - Appreciate the love, hon. No worries about the gossip thing. It&#039;s all about the snark, which I can bring without a hitch. Plus, it&#039;s creative, as opposed to tech writing. And you can totally get burned out on sex, trust me. I&#039;m not NOW. Course, I&#039;m not having sex, either. In fact, I&#039;m getting to be an expert at not having sex.

Winter - Heh.

Lisa - I will. :)

Stephanie - Hmm, I don&#039;t know if I should say. I&#039;m really hoping Dan wins it all, but if not him, then Renny.

Anissa - Well, yeah, there&#039;s that.</description>

		<description>Consider yourself one up on me because you at least have the good sense to desire to quit. I&#039;m still working up to that point.</description>

		<description>First of all, congrats on the writing gig.  I think that&#039;s awesome and I know how much you enjoy writing.

Second, I agree with hello haha narf.  It had to be tough to admit that you picked up a cigarette to your friends and readers but I&#039;m glad you did.  You owned that you fell off the wagon.  Now pick your ass up and jump back on.  

Like Avitable said, there are plenty of us who aren&#039;t smoking that are here to support you...use us!  You have my phone number...USE IT!</description>
