Thank you, John, for a wonderful serial. I am also so relieved to know the happy ending. But, it's actually a beginning, right? Now you start the life you were always meant to have. The free life. Go fishing, man. Eat those Jolly Ranchers. Consider writing more if you don't already. Live, laugh & love. It's not often that we get new lease.

I cracked a molar by grinding my teeth in my sleep. Didn't know I'd done it til it started to hurt and my DDS said "Root Canal!" It wasn't until later that I read that smokers are more likely to grind their teeth in their sleep. Of course, had I known, I would [i]never[/i] have smoked...
Yeah, right.
And Cold Turkeys can do the back stroke...

Cheryl-
My family teases me about my "lists" whenever we take a trip, even if it's just overnite. I, too, am trying to add some adventure to my life, but I'm having a hard time leaving my "planning-habit" behind. Hubby, dtr. & I are taking our first-ever Family Vacation, (i.e. longer than just a 3-4 day wknd,) and I can't imagine trying to do it w/out my "list". So, how about Spontaneous Planning? Maybe I should add that to my "list"...
Cold Turkeys have to ease into "spontaneous"...

I am battling the bulge, also. And I didn't know about the 200 calories. That explains alot.
But I just had to tell you, Chief [i][think Miss Hathaway fm Beverly Hillbillies][/i], I love the title of this thread. Makes me laugh.
I guess you should be grateful though: At least you know where your pants are!!
Don't smoke, okay? It's bad for you.
Cold Turkeys laugh just hearing the word "Pants"...
Mc
Who are you callin' a Grumpy-Butt?? I am in no mood for this stuff!!
Sheeesh!! Some people!
Oh, now I gotta go do that deep-breathing thing...
(Don't smoke, okay? It's bad for you.)
Cold Turkeys are easily miffed.

I read that 31 is the new "21"! You go, boy! You're gonna do just fine. Just remember: You don't smoke. You're not deprived or "trying" or quitting. You just don't smoke. Sounds like you have the right idea about focusing on fitness & health. That's the best replacement for any habit. And, besides, the "Hotties" prefer the guys that don't smoke. That's you, dude. Your awesome. Post often and keep us up on your great new life!
Cold Turkeys love non-smokers.
