    Welcome Kevin from another New England boy! You will quickly come to really enjoy this place. Great vibe, very knowledgeable about almost anything.

    I don't drink or smoke either.. saves me about a million bucks a year.

    Enjoy the weather! :cool::fire:

    oh, I DID drink once upon a time, but have never smoked...er...anything! Once upon a time maybe, about 2007 or so, I decided that booze didn't ever seem to positively affect anyone, so, made the decision not to use it again...as I said, don't care if you do, just isn't for me....drink up, I'll drive ya home! But, never fear, I have plenty of other vices! I bought this ten pound bag of Australian Glazed apricots that I am trying to finish off at the moment!

    As for forums, I was a member of a different forum for quite some time, but due to some differences of opinion, I had an epiphany one day, that contributing to that site enriched someone who contributed to causes I don't believe in, so, figured I wouldn't anymore contribute there.....said a few goodbyes, which were, well, deleted by mods, etc, so, lol, here I am! Sorry guys and girls!

    hey, any trick in the book works on that end, except my girlfriend doesn't drink either....I end up having to use my savoie-faire, and dashing good looks to try and get anywhere.......hmm.......maybe I should go back to drinking!

    I'm the same way, I don't drink/smoke at all, never have. But I don't hold it against anybody else so long as they are not drinking and driving. And yeah, I'll drive ya home too. :D

    :eek:

    Went to a holiday rock concert a few years ago. Sitting next to us were these 3 or 4 women who bought a glass of something that looked like white wine or champagne. Well at the intermission each one had about half of the itty bitty glass left. Just could not wrap my noggin around that. :p

    Once upon a time I ate, slept, woke up on a brick slap and had sore wrists almost daily...... I do drink but in moderation these days! When I got through the issues it dawned on me the boos wasn't the issue it was the side effect. Yes it can go wrong but that doesn't mean it is wrong. :)

    Never smoked anything, but I have had a few girly drinks. Pretty much can't choke down anything that actually tastes like alcohol. Went crazy last night and had an amaretto sour with my kc strip last night. Yep, just one. That was enough. Like cooking with the stuff, though.

    Hello men! Dexter told me about this site, looks like a nice place to pull up a chair. I'm just a firewood hack, I burn maybe 4-5 cords a year. I'm wanting to do an OWB in the near future. I also like playing with and rebuilding chainsaws. I run the underground utility division of my father and I's construction and excavating company. Since everyone else is saying, I don't smoke, and probably drink more beer than I should haha.

    Nice place :).
