    FYI, if you are trying to quit smoking, my friend who tried many times had the best luck with a medicine called Chantix that works by blocking the receptors in the brain that give you pleasure from smoking.

    Oh I hate waking up from such a good dream! I don't see why people wish you "sweet dreams" because it's painful to wake up from a sweet dream.

    That's a very good score. You should get ITA soon. From recent trends and discussions, if not the next draw, then likely the next one after.

    I've been feeling much better since joining this forum. I had often been feeling sad and discouraged.
