Re: Thirty days tobacco free
I hit the powerball on Saturday's drawing. ONLY the powerball. Got $4. Now, if only I could get a few more zeros on that "4". As to the living longer by a bit of alcohol... well, I still have my one...

Re: Star Trek!!
In order: My personal preference goes:
1 Next Gen
2 TOS
3 DS9

When one says "fan fiction" one usually doesn't equate it with any semblance of quality, but sometimes the "fans" can surprise you. Such is the case of the brand-new Star Trek Continues...
