LMAO !!!!!!!!!!! Now now now..Let's get our minds out of the gutter with those nasty, nasty , nasty, little thoughts..hehehe Nothing THAT entertaining..actually quite the opposite. Just think of what smoking does to the peripheral circulation...and with her lift and implant the nipple had to be removed and set up higher. Well she said that she had stopped smoking before the surgery. I am not sure what the protocal is off the top of my head...But anyway..she didn't and the nipple didn't take when the plastic surgeon sutured in back in place. I got the honors of doing the dressing changes during her admission...Lucky Me !!!!..Just think of a dried up salad mushroom..pretty nasty !!!! Dana

Nat you can do it, I know that it is not easy. I quit back in 1998 and it was hard then but I know in my heart that you can do it. Try chewing gum when you feel the need and it will help of course the sugar-free one.

I have an alternative...c'mon down here to da' beach, and every time you get a hankering for a cig we'll go out for a kayak paddle...take your mind off of it....course...you're arms'll be screaming...so you'll need some ben-gay...but that's better than nicotine...right? Way to go....keep on the quittin' side...(and I'm serious about the paddlin' too!)

Wow..you kayak? That is awesome. Is it hard? How long did it take you to get use to it? Do you ever flip? I still remember the pictures taken at Sandbridge when that guy was kayaking and that killer whale (wasn't it a killer whale??) jumped up right next to him. Hmmmmmmm..maybe I should find that on the internet and use it for a summer screen saver !!! I have always been in aww when I see people do that kind of sport. Remember that kid 3 years ago that was biten by the bullshark at Sandbridge? I was on that day in the ER and although he wasn't my patient it kind of did something to my head. This summer I HAVE to force myself to get past that. It did a number on me.

Yeah...I love the water...back in my 'fat' days I always yearned to be in or on a kayak and when I lost a majority of my weight I ended up with a 'sit-on-top' style kayak, first was an 8" then I got a 14" and did quite a bit of ocean kayakking. Since my weight has stabalized and I wanted to do more year-round kayakking and I can actually fit INTO a sit-in kayak I just bought myself a wilderness systems tsunami 145 and all the gear for year round paddling. Man is it ever a blast to be out on the water, being your own engine, and shaving off the miles...between the kayakking and the bicycling OPEC really doesn't like me very much...but hey I get 35 miles to a glass of milk!... I remember the guy in sandbridge, on one hand I would have loved to have been that close and on the other I think I would probably have had to clean my swim trunks after such a close encounter! I've been in the middle of a pod of dolphins and that is awesome. Sharks I don't worry about, and yes I've fallen off, but usually you just get back on or in...takes some practice though. I'f you're ever in the mood, let me know, I'd be glad to take you out for a real short try-out kayak experience. I usually like to go to 64th street narrows and you could try both of the kayaks...I bet you'd have a blast! No kiddin'...let me know! (No sharks in the narrows...just some ski-doos and an occasional fishermen...but we can avoid them!

Way to go NATALIE!!!! Rumor has it, it takes THREE days to break a habit, you're OVER a 1/3 of the way there. ....oh, and think of all the MONEY you're gonna be saving, and all the beautiful sexy gorgeous clothes you can get instead. Smoking cigs is like burning CASH....trust me, I know. Ugh! Hang tough - Lei
