For all of you who think you simlpy can't stop smoking you need t hear this.

A member of my family has literally tried for the last 22 years to stop smoking. Used everything from the cold turkey method to nicotine gum/patches etc. He would go as long as a few weeks or even a month and then right back to smoking.

I got wonderful news last Saturday over coffee with my niece. Her husband whom this family dearly loves and respects has finally won the battle with Chantix. My niece has asked him a few times to try it, and a few weeks before Christmas he did.  He is completely smoke free. She asked him if he minds it and his reply was that smoking no longer even enters his mind. He said that with all other attempts even when not smoking he always wanted to and could not get it off his mind.

He is now concentrating on his health in general and has lost 12 pounds since Christmas!   You go Ray!  He has tried so hard and has come out victorious. 

Don't give up.

P.S. He tried Wellburtin in the past, but eventually went back to smoking due to side effects on the medication.  

This was NOT in the Enquirer. This was really on the first page of the Lakeland Ledger in Florida.  An Indian infant was born with two (count them) two full faces. That is four eyes, 2 noses, 2 mouths, and the baby eats with both mouths.  They are calling this child the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess and a temple is being built to this goddess in the small town.  The family is being given lots of money and gifts, and visits!

You should see the picture of this kid.  Perfectly normal, except each side of the face is a full face.  Nothing else wrong that they know of.  I did not know what to think today, if I feel sorry for the child, or worried about how this defect will affect her life.  Also, what's it like to see with 4 eyes, and how much food will it eat with 2 mouths! Amazing. Maybe you can look it up on the web to see the pix. 

Cats as a species tend to be lactose intolerant, but just like any species (humans included) there are differences from one individual to another.  Milk has more lactose or milk sugar in it and that is what tends to cause the bloating and diarrhea problems.  Half and half does not have so much because the cream does not have it in the volumes that the milk does.  I had one cat who, when she turned 14 or so, sat in front of the fridge and meowed at me until I gave her a little bit of cream.  It was so bad that if I was out, I couldn't even go in to make coffee in the morning or else she would flip me the paw if she didn't get it.

I have an older cat now who is 18 and she tends to do the same thing, but straight cream gives her bad diarrhea.  I put water in a bowl and then sort of color the water with the half and half and that tends to appease her.  I have yet another cat that is allergic to anything dairy or beef related.  Give her half and half, or cheese, or beef cat food and within 10 minutes she's yacking up everything that's in her stomach.

I love the little varmints.  Don't know what I'd do without them.   OP  = I'm very glad for the solution to your problem.  You saved a poor kitty from a bad life outside and solved your mouse problem at the same time.  Yay!

This one came with a special light . . . OH, RIGHT! 

I stood in the bathroom holding this stupid light (which I am sure was not more than a regular flashlight) up to my teeth, running to the kitchen where the light was better and swearing my teeth were getting whiter!  Did this for a few days, applying the solution (which had no color, no smell) and  NOTHING.  After a few days of this exhausting procedure my teeth looked absolutely no better!

TOTAL RIP OFF! 

Out of ideas! Also, looking for simple recipe for brunch requiring stuff I have on hand. Martha always has some confounded ingredient I never heard of. Lost my hash brown recipe. Have frozen hash browns, sour cream, cr. chicken soup, butter & chips, forgot how I put them all together last time. Locked in, more snow coming, zero degrees in NE, don't even know if people will make it here. I'm frustrated. Have a spiral ham on hand, thank goodness! Sounds like I'll be cooking but will they come in the stormy weather. Darned if I do, darned if I don't!  The no dairy, no salt thing is driving me up the walls.

Oh well, have a happy holiday. Tip: Put furniture polish or cooking oil on your snow shovel and the snow won't stick.

I don't have a lot of money right now and my daughter knows this.  I did look into a traditional moving company and it was over $1200.  I'm renting a truck and would gladly provide lunch for all.  I've helped my daughter many times, even since she has been grown, financially and otherwise; in fact, helped her get into her house.  I suppose I did hope she would remember these things, explain to "Bruce", and they would be sympathic to my predicament.  Thanks for your reply.

I watch the Food channel and now they have a special:  Giada in Paradise.  Love love love Santorini (Greece) where this is filmed but I am so distracted by Giada's massive ginormous head and large numbers of teeth along with her phony inflection. It is driving me nuts!  How mean am I??  She just irks me and it's ruining the show for me. 

Big difference between food and foot - MTing too long!
