*crawls up from the bottom of a mound of cigars*

you fellas do know that you're all quite crazy, right? LOL

wow. i'm beginning to understand michael corleone who said, "just when i think i'm out they PULL ME BACK IN!"

i just get my head above recent bombings from DrF8, DrMaddVibe, Bloody Spaniard (and if i'm forgetting anyone FORGIVE ME but my meds are working reeeeeeeeeally well right now which me=ans my brain isn't!), and then it happens AGAIN!

bombs from the sky arrive from USAHOG and AZNARIES78 and a package with a couple of nice sticks and some MUCH-wanted cedar pieces arrive from DJHEATER!

pummeled to the ground, gasping, i struggle to climb back to civilisation when what should happen but REPEATERS drop from the skies! AUUUUUUGH! i duck and take cover, but more bombs from BLOODY SPANIARD and they wily BUDDHA DADDY come raining down upon me!!!

*shudder* is it safe to come out now???

*grin* gentlemen, i thought the meds were making me hallucinate, but nope... the double and triple i was seeing was the size my stash had grown from your generosity. i am truly grateful, humbled and thoroughly amazed by your kindness. thank you, thank you, thank you! i am (not just euphamistically!) blown away!!

WTG Guys,

Physical therapy, that's all it is.

LOL oh man! my day is now complete!!

this is long, i know, but stay with me here. 🙂

you know, since thursday last, a whole lot of suckage has been going on -- healing from a (very painful) procedure, stuck in bed most of the time, worrying about what's going to happen healthwise... but all of it, ALL of it, has truly taken a backseat to all the outright JOY i've received courtesy of you BOTLs here.

i'm not just talking about the cigars (with which you have been EXTREMELY generous), though they are so very deeply appreciated. i'm also blessed with the most amazing friendships and buddyhoods that are growing here as well.

welcome, m3swatson!!! guys, this-a here fellow recently kicked off this past few days of "it's raining cigars" by blowing the bajeepers off my mailbox with... baaah, what am i talking about-- that package wouldn't even come close to fitting inside my mailbox! i'm glad to see you here, as it gives me the opportunity to thank you here, too. 🙂

smelly, you'll probably recognize the legendary m3s from elsewhere. gentlemen, it is an HONOR for me to introduce you to m3swatson, or "mark" as we mere mortals call him. not only is he a top-notch, old-school, supercalifragilisticBOTL extreme *laugh* but he is also one damned fine human being. so good to see you here, brother!! truly makes my day. 🙂

buddha dude-ha... LOL physical therapy it is, all right! i'll get lots of PT on my "smoking arm" at least, raising up cigar after cigar to my lips. does that count as lifting weights? doing reps? 🙂

*shakes head* i don't know what's going on... if the stars all aligned in such a way that sent subliminal cosmic messages that said "every great BOTL slam sicilian tony with bunches of cigars" or WHAT... but i have been truly truly blessed with your generosity, guys.

ALL of you who have conspired to blow my mailbox into oblivion, you have succeeded BIGTIME.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

and smelly-o, that goes for you, too. i want to tell you, i'm still enjoying the heck out of that tuppador you sent (not to mention the sticks, the foam, the PG, etc.). every time i open that up i say a little thank-you to the smellinator. seriously, the other container i had was KILLING my fingers. every time i opened it, it felt like it was ridged with razor blades. :/ the one you sent is so so easy on my uber-sensitive fingers.

okay... okay... i've gotta take a break now from running my mouth (via my fingers). i really just want you ALL to know that you have each made a very difficult, painful time into a cause for JOY and GRATITUDE and HAPPY DANCES -- gimpy, but with enthusism anyway. 🙂

thank you -- can't thank you all enough (but oh, i will enjoy trying!) -- and god bless each of you whackadoodle brothers!
