Bear, it must have been extraction week! Yes, the do not smoke for x hours and actually not smoking so therefore not worrying about it is really good. It gives you a nice feeling. Btw, can dentists tell if you have quit? One of the many things I have often wondered. I would have thought putting any body parts near a bears mouth was asking for trouble anyway! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 155 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,875 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �651.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 19 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

On Wed I had 3 teeth extracted ,no big deal it happens to everyone at some time in their life. But what it did do was start a chain of events that has continued into today and if you don't mind I like to share it with you. Well after the deed was done there is of course certain rules you must abide by to ensure proper healing one being no smoking then the dentist said "You don't smoke anymore so you won't have to worry about that one ." Well the next step is to pay the bill (gulp)and I had already anticipated that I would be looking at at least $600.00 much to my surprise it was only $275.00 my dentist knows I have no insurance and is a very generous person and could have in fact charged me the $600.00. When I awoke this morning I was still surprised that this man had been so generous and that " I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE" . What had happened to me over the years that I was smoking had my mind been so dulled that I had forgotten what is was like to appreciate generosity,fresh air,the smell of a womans perfume,dull days ,sunny days or as duffis said just getting out of bed for another day. Well you get the picture hopefully I can learn to appreciate the little things in life again and the fact " I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE " :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 269 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,842 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,690.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 61 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49
