I am new here, been a lurker for awhile on this site. However I decided it was time to join. I live In W.N.C. and I teach at a local university. I've been married for 5 years to a wonderful woman. No children as of yet. I love smoking cigars, and have varying interests in many things. I am really big into model trains, hopefully there's a few of "y'all" on here.

I'm currently in the military. I used to live and work in Fort Myers, Florida until I met my wife prior to my last deployment and moved to Mississippi when I got home. I have been married for about a year. I love a good cigar, but most of my time not spent at work, with my wife or smoking a cigar is normally spent working around the house or at church. I am a worship leader and a youth leader. I used to ride my motorcycle, but that changed recently :-( That's about all for me!

I'm a Information Systems Analyst for Knox County, TN, which is also where I live. I'm 21 years old, no wife, no kids.

As far as what keeps me occupied outside of work, I'm a licensed pilot, and try to fly when I can afford it. Photography is also a passion of mine, and only recently have I discovered how incredibly expensive it also can be. In college I was a semi-pro paintball player, and played for the University of Tennessee, but I have since then fallen out of the sport and only rarely get out to the fields. My two main vices are good cigars, and great local-brewed beer, of which we have several in Knoxville. My main time waster (and cause for expanding waistline) is of course video games. Old habits are hard to break... Well thats it about me!

For a living I'm a software architect.

To live I sail, read, play music, read, run, read, garden, read, cook, read, write, read, talk and read. I also am an avid reader.

Just started cigar smoking and drinking scotch to properly balance out my other mostly healthy habits.

I like this thread. :)

I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I currently work at McDonald's. I'm really focused on school right now, and that's pretty much my life at this moment: work, school, family, and church. I'm also a volunteer youth group leader for my parish.

I like relaxing and thinking. I'm more laid back than most my age, and I'm just enjoying the single life right now.

I work in IT as a Network Engineer for HSN. I enjoy researching and re-creating classic cocktails. I also enjoy home roasting coffee beans.

I write an internet column on cigars and sporadically post on my cocktail blog.

Thinning hair, flirting with obesity, get winded if walk up 1 flight of stairs (which are of course avoided), gigantic occasional hemmorhoids, gassy, dumpy clothes, work for the state, live in a too-small-house, drive old cars, live hand-to-mouth, hobbies are watching TV and farting around with tobacco plants in a doomed yet self-entertaining effort to try to end up with halfway respectable cigar tobacco leaf sometime in 2011, have realized long ago by now would have been better off from an economic perspective to just buy a few boxes of really good cigars and call it even.

Happy, great wife, great kids, Christian, and figure I have far more and live far better than the richest people did, including kings, from the dawn of human civilization all the way up to about 200 years ago, give or take 100 years. Horseless chariots, medical wonders, hot & cold drinkable water at the turn of a lever, cornucopias of food available 24 hours a day, cool in summer, warm in winter, the list is endless. An embarrassment of riches!

Who reads this anyway? An obscure sub-folder in a cigar forum of all places. Why did I spend the time writing this? I could have washed the dishes which are right in front of me this whole time. Or done any number of productive things. Aw nuts.

Dude, I'll second the majority of that. People get so caught up sometimes in the tragedies that life tosses in our lap that we take some wonderful things for granted.

After comming home from the Navy back in 1990 I came home to find there were no jobs in Marine Biology. Seeing how I was a single father I had to find something quick and I landed a machinest job at a Seal & Pump componant company. It's not what I had in mind but it payed damn good and great benifits. Soon after that I met my wife and worked as a CNC operator for 16 years. Then one day I get bit by a spider, turned into a strep infection which the doctors missed and a year later I was almost dead. After seeing all kinds of doctors and no results I asked to see a nurologist. He was the best in western MI. He took one look at me an new right away what I had. He figured I had about 2 months to live because the desease was now working it's way into my heart cavity. I was diagnosed with an auto ammune connective tissue disease called Dramatomyositis which was treated with alot of steriods and other meds. I could barely function. This doctor saved my life!
Anyways It took almost 6 months to recover and I wanted to get back to work so I did. After about a year I got really sick again and had to be hospitalized. My body was loosing the battle. The docs told me I had two choices...Go back to work and die or file for disability and try to have a somewhat normal life. My job was extreamly physical and stressfull, two things that really affect this desease. I had a tough choice to make because I made really good money for my family and didn't want to fail them. I've worked my whole life and didn't know what to do. Dying was not an option so I filed. Before we went to court I wound up developing Bone and Joint deseases as well. I won my disabilty of course but my lifestyle has done a 180. I always know it could be alot worse and thank God every day that I am still here as a husband and a father. I would be nothing without my family. It has been 5 years since I first got sick. I have had 6 surguries in under three years and have pains everyday....But I'm still here baby and that's what matters!!! A good stogie in the afternoon is what I enjoy the most as it just takes me away from everyday worries for a nice couple hours and BOTL is my daily cyber social getaway! Thanks Fellas!!
