Congrats Pen on your second Hall of Fame award! Loved to read your story. Thanks for all your pointed and well informed comments to all the newby quitters out there. You know the drill and how to get there and it shows in your years quit. And just remember beauty is in the "Eyja" of the beholder :) Ron
Hehe on the 'Happy Penitent' Oscar award speech : ) But . . . isn't that an oxymoron? LOL :) No matter - you and Duffis are both well deserving of your impressive Hall of Fame nominations and all accolades the honor(s) entails. Also, I'm thinking there are many bandits who take a much worse mug shot that either of you, so no worries on the 2012 archived shots to date.
Feeling all bold and with a whole year quit under my belt now, I decided to enter a HOF story too. Not sure if I am worthy of the honor, but just in case a 'voluptuous blonde' avatar would tip the scale in my favor, I thought I'd add my own best blonde mug to the board. Now I just hafta wait & see whether the Judges can be swayed by such tactics! Either way - I sure am glad I don't smoke anymore! Cheers too!
It is a privilege to be honoured twice and I am happy to receive the plaudits of my peers on this most prestigious occasion. ( It is an Oscar, right?)
Just taken a look at the first two photos in the Hall of Fame for 2012 and, pardon me Duffis, I have to say it looks like something out of the local presinct's mug book. Boy your gonna have to improve with March I think - a voluptuous blonde perhaps? Well, that may be wishful thinking but whoever it turns out to be will get my continued support and hearty congratulations! (bar one, of course!)
I was the first to post on this thread, however it somehow ended up on your poetry page :-( A little late but I wanted to tell you that I am very proud to be associated with the Gentleman from across the pond. Your contributions to this program have helped so many quitters get on down the road to success. A hearty congratulations on your Hall of Fame award, 2nd time.
