I'm 70 ("The New 69") and I've lost a lot of friends to one thing or another. I retired at 58 to enjoy my remaining years. It's been great! One of my favorite sayings, from a physician: "I never heard anyone on his death bed say 'Damn, I wish I'd spent more time in the office!'" Every day is a gift!

Sheila and I both gave it up in our early 30's. I got mad when they got to.50 cents a pack out of the machine at work so I quite.

Sheila found a butt had burned it self out on her night table and said one day that may kill me so she quite too. Now with luck I'll probability get shot by a jealous husband..... guess there worst ways to go.. He He.

By the way he was a real nice guy and she really like working for him but he was a workaholic and way over weight. He was 62 and a real loss to all.....
