Monopoly Gets a Serious Make-Over!

My grandparents had the original board game and we played it ever time we went to visit them.

My uncle has it now, and I hope he will pass it on to me, some day.

3rd Day of Not Smoking

Any method will work if you got your mind set on quitting, and don't let anyone talk you out of it.

I am not saying it is easy, but if a weak-willed sap like me can quit smoking, anyone can.

And, I did it 'cold turkey'.
