I like the effect of the walnut wings on a fireglo!

Congrats Ben, very nice. Fireglos are very beautiful. As for pics on the desktop, I am guilty also, as well as carrying pics with me at work to show my patients what can be done if one quits smoking. I used my cigarette money to finance my rick and I tell them that in hopes of inspiring them. Guilty there too. I am sorry if I have repeated myself here on the quitting smoking, but hey I am kinda proud of the results.

"I used my cigarette money to finance my rick and I tell them that in hopes of inspiring them."

This sounds like an amazing way to make people quit. Show them something awesome that you've been able to buy or some hobby you've financed with just the money you saved from buying cigs. I know several of my friends here at college could use something like this . . .

Shawn, I kicked a 30 yr smoking habit with Nicorette gum (orange flavor is great). It's been 10 months since I smoked, and I haven't missed it. Now, I just need to quit the gum. Much easier, once I try.

I still smoke, but the more I play my Rick, the less I smoke. And I can't keep my hands off the darn thang! A new addiction?
