TCOPE'S Top 10 Reasons for Being quit on Christmas
1.  Don't have to worry about knocking the spitter over on the new carpet 50 times while being sprawled out trying to put together the latest toy for kid
2.  Sugar cookies don't have brown stain marks on them
3.  Cool gifts and stocking stuffers fit in my stocking now that I don't need to have a 10 can sleeve in there.
4.  Is that my Jack and Coke or my spitter?
5.  Santa claus can actually drink the cup of milk we put out for him without worrying if the spit and copenhagen were washed out
6.  No more lying about having to run out to the store to get more "batteries" on Christmas Eve because I ran out of copenhagen and the stores are closed on Xmas.
7.  Our sledding hill in the backyard is not covered with brown spots this year.
8.  Don't have to pull the Santa beard to the side every 30 seconds to spit….
9.  Going out to select our Christmas tree is not limited to just how long I can go without a dip.    
10.  No more christmas shopping in the malls and having to find an empty store aisle where I can spit a puddle cause I forgot my spitter.

1,000 days down..... The Comma

Thought I'd just pen some quick thoughts at 1000 days....(actually 1026)....
Life is good.  I'm going thru some pretty big stress right now in my life but  never has the idea of running out for a dip crossed my mind.  I am still fairly active on the site but not perhaps as much as this time last year.  A lot is going on.  It's good to still see so many FOQers in April 09 still posting up.  At last count there were:
Wildcat
Ron
Rkymtnman
Trapper
NKT
Jpcrew
PBKid
ndrooster
Moeman
BigDBingo

Pretty good crowd for quitters coming up on 3 years...

Having the comma feels pretty damn good..
