Welp, I tossed the digits into the random.org randomizer with my parameters set at 2 random integers with the smallest value being 3 (first non-me post in the thread) and the largest value being 106 (last post number in the thread as of midnight).
The lucky numbers are 37 and 60! That means AshesofWake and ramatut4001, a winners are you! I'll be contacting you via PM here in the next couple of minutes to verify which prize you wanted -- a points card for either the Wii or the 360.
My sincerest thanks to everyone who posted in this thread with kind words and encouragement. It really did make a difference, and I'm grateful to you all. Also, thanks to Cheapy and the mods for letting this thing roll -- best mods in the business!
And I wanted to extend a word of hope for those who are in the process of quitting smoking like I am. I know from first-hand experience how freakin' brutal this can be and how much inner-strength it requires. You guys are doing great, and I'm really proud of you! Keep it up and feel free to shoot me a PM if you ever need encouragement or if there's ever anything I can do.
To those CAGs who are still on the stick, don't let anybody browbeat you too badly about smoking. Don't let the smug non-smokers get you down when they pass by you with their fake coughing. I've been right where you are and I know exactly what it's like, standing outside in the cold and the rain, grabbing a few puffs to keep the nicotine levels up. I hope you'll find a time to quit, but do it when you're ready. And if you really don't want to quit, I think that's absolutely fine and legitimate, too.
