    Twenty nine years!

    Today marks twenty nine years since I last smoked a cigarette!! I'm SO glad that I did it becauce i didn't need bad lungs on top of my other problems. Cigarettes are so expensive now and I can't afford them. I quit when they were 65 cents a pack in 1982! I quit cold turkey which was REALLY tough and I never looked back since!

    Good for you David. Cigarettes affected the health of both my folks. Dad quit cold turkey too & mom puffed on them to the end.

    WELL DONE, David! Congratulations!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    Congratulations, that's an important anniversary! I remember after my Dad quit - cold turkey - he called me one day and said "Y'know what? I can smell things again!" And I am sure the quitting smoking helped your voice, particularly as a tenor! Do you do any singing at Concordia?

    Do you know what, Karen? I've gotten a lot of compliments on my singing voice since I've been here! As a matter of fact, I'm joining the Easter cantata when they start up again.

    Yo David!!!

    Haven't seen you on here in a long time! I smoked briefly, a pack a week for about a year. It was just something to do when I was bored. I HATE cigarette smoke. It makes me nauseous.

    We're getting slammed with snow, from now (8 am to tomorrow around midnight). Glad I bought food.

    Stay warm and dry honey!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!
