            <description>    &lt;p&gt;Where on earth did I go?&lt;div&gt;Anyway, I am back for a second. &amp;#160;Had to check and see if you were all okay and stuff. &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So far, so good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You all appear to be fine...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I on the other hand have had a rough month or so...I found out I have severe Copd. &amp;#160;Lovely. &amp;#160;I&amp;#39;m not surprised though. I could barely inhale a cigarette anymore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It has been 97 days so far without....that is the longest time since I started smoking 28 years ago. &amp;#160;I can honestly say that I don&amp;#39;t want one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The doctor says my lungs are shot. &amp;#160;But, I am breathing better than when I was smoking. &amp;#160;I don&amp;#39;t cough like crazy. &amp;#160;I do get out of breath depending on what I am doing though and then I just tell myself to take it easy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well...enough about me. &amp;#160;LOL! &amp;#160;Later dudes....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you save cards and letters or throw them away? Bonus points if you can show us one that you saved. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I definately, without a doubt,&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;THROW THEM OUT!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t had a smoke for 13 days....&lt;div&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t taken a champix for 7 days...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So there...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take that...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think it was the easiest thing ever...quitting. &amp;#160;I only took the first 2 weeks worth of pills too. &amp;#160;Not even...I still have 3 pills left over. &amp;#160;I just decided that they weren&amp;#39;t needed and I didn&amp;#39;t take anymore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So...anyone who is thinking about trying to quit...try this drug. &amp;#160;It was AMAZING. &amp;#160;I had no cravings, no moodiness, nothing. &amp;#160;The only thing I did have was alittle nausea when the dosage went up so I cut the pills in half and took them like that....whatever. &amp;#160;It worked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;It actually looks like spring might be right around the corner.&lt;div&gt;Really.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was melting today. &amp;#160;There was water running down the alley! &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is so much ice infront of the dumpsters that it&amp;#39;s hard for the girls to get the garbage and the cardboard in the bins. &amp;#160;I went out and used the ice chipper alittle and that seemed to get the water going in the right direction. &amp;#160;It should be warm for the next 5 days anyway...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have turned over a new leaf....after reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle A year of food life. &amp;#160;I have started to watch what I buy...eating way more veggies and way less packaged &amp;#160;frozen stuff. &amp;#160;Too bad it took so long for me to clue in to the salad thing...it really is good. &amp;#160;More than good.&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
