A contest, of sorts.....
#1
The back story.
A friend of mine who smoked the very occasional cigar, recently went through some medical issues. Due to his medical conditions, he was informed the he is no longer allowed to enjoy any tobacco products. So he had to give up his clove cigarettes, hookah, and his cigars.

The current situation.
After getting himself better, he and his wife went through an adjustment period and have finally gotten rid of all their ashtrays, secret stashes, hookah tobacco's and stuff. A couple weeks ago, he brought a stash of cigars over to game night and asked those of us that smoke them (two of us), to divy them up.
I felt bad of course, but he insisted. So my friend that smokes cigars and I went through them. Most of the cigars were the flavored kind. Acid and Isla Del Sol's. I have tried Acid's in the past, and they aren't for me. So I figured that a small contest would get them into the hands of someone who would appreciate them, or possibly someone that they know that likes them, would be in order. I know that these sticks have more than two years on them. They have been properly maintained and as far as I know are ready to smoke!

The contest.
I have a fiver of acid's. Two Toast's and Three Kuba Kuba's.

The contest is a simple one, that I will give each of you the best chance of winning. Smile

As many of you know, back on november 1st 2011, I had the misfortune to fall off of a ladder. I tore my ACL and ripped the meniscus of my right knee. I had the ACL replaced, meniscus repaired, and lots of physical therapy.
Now there is some doctor-esse name for everything they did that ended in, 'ectomy'. It was lots of 'fun'.
As a result of the knee brace, and walking like Frankenstein, I compressed a disk in my lower spine. I had an S.I. injection and three epidural lumbar punctures done to relieve that (not entirely successful - but about as good as its going to get). Now here I am nine-ish months later from the accident, and about as good as I am going to get from that. Now I'm paying for it.
Here we go.....
I totaled up everything that my insurance company has been billed. From the initial ER visit, up through my last physical therapy visit.
I've also totaled up everything that *I* have been billed with my co-insurance and co-pay's.

The contest is for you to guess as closely as possible, these two numbers.

This contest is open to all registered members of this forum, (except for one person who has agreed to be my verification master) with a post count of 50 or more.
The contest starts today (07-21-12) and runs until next friday night (07-27-12) at 11:55pm eastern time.
The person who guesses closest without going over, wins.
Each registered member (with more than 50 posts) can enter two guesses, (for each) total.

Good guessing!!
...moving along...nothing left to see here.
