I love that! We can live by example now that we are Non-Smokers! We can teach others how not to smoke! Great analogy!

Goodevening members, According to David Leonhardt, there's a brand new fitness program at the San Francisco Zoo � a program that sort of just took off on its own without any goals or leadership from the zookeeper. This fitness program is for the birds, but it carries a lesson for all of us. The birds are penguins. Penguins are supposed to swim. In fact, 46 penguins at the San Francisco zoo have been taking regular dips in the pool to cool off and keep their feathers sleek. Ah, ain't life grand. Lie around, eat, swim, rest, eat, swim, relax, eat, swim. Until six "bodybuilder" penguins moved in from Ohio. The newcomers jumped into the pool and swam. And swam. And swam. In fact, those six penguins kept swimming all day long. Day after day. The newcomers would start early in the morning and keep swimming in circles until they would "stagger" out of the pool at dusk. What is most amazing, though, is that the six penguins have convinced the other 46 to join them. Hitherto "society" penguins are now swimming the whole day through like commoners. What is the secret to the Ohio penguins' success? I don't speak "penguin" very well, but I think I overheard the following conversation: [i] "C'mon, what are you, a penguin or a rock?" "Why, I'm a penguin, of course." "You don't look like a penguin. All you do is sit around like a rock." "That's not true. I swim ... sometimes." "Ha! A true penguin swims all day long. Pepperoni!" *SPLASH!!* "Hey. I'm a real penguin, too." "Who you shouting at, Percy?" "That swimmer with too much adrenaline in his feathers. He says I'm not a real penguin because I don't eggplant enough." "Oh, yeah? We'll show him, won't we, Percy?" "You bet! Uh, how?" "By out-swimming the showoff penguins." *SPLASH!!* [/i] OK, so I may be a little off on my translation, but somehow those six penguins changed the entire lifestyle habits of the other 46. The point is not that the 46 penguins have learned to swim, which they had always been doing as a leisurely pastime, but that they are now in full aquatic stampede mode ... and that they were convinced by the other six to change their entire lifestyle. How did the six penguins do it? Well, I was suspicious about penguins that come from Ohio. Ever

I've got my calculator Hummy! My accounting education hard at work! Lets see... right now there are 132 of us on line we can use that as our statistical sample being as we know some of these people are new and some are regulars that aren't on right now. I would say we could get a 89% regression study out of this (that's statistical talk :) ). That will give us an accurate reading. 132 x 8 (rounding up) is 1,056 people!!!!!! CALL IN TECH SUPPORT! Hurry! The sight is going too crash from too many posts! :p We can all do our part. We can't save everyone but we sure can try :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 326 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,538 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1141 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 28 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 56
