We can certainly hope so... :)  Another friend of mine had a similar
experience... and then the clincher for her was when she found out that
the tobacco companies had finally admitted that they'd purposely added
stuff to make people more addicted than they might otherwise have
been... at that point, she was so angry at the companies that her latest
effort to quit actually stuck.... :)
 
 >>> good that the inhaler is working for you now, though....

 >> Thanks, feels good.

 JK> Thanks!  I'm determined really.. and it helps that I'm the only smoker

That does help... no smoke in the house, no readily available cigs...
And support instead of temptation.... :)

Michael's started to write things up... One of the features was a steak
and kidney pie that Dale suggested I make after talking about it in the
echo... Michael helped it make it a reality (actually he did most of
it)...  :)

Looks like next year will be back in the Rochester area again... hoping
to make it easier for the Fords to attend, and my sister in Bloomfield
is willing to have us come again.... :)   We'll see how things work
out...  :)
