merryb,

I did put on some poundage. NO THANKS TO R.F.C!!! <VBG>

I quit cold turkey (which I DO like with mayo on a roll!).

I quit purely for financial reasons. When the price of cigs reached
$4.00/pack I just decided I'm not gonna pay the tobacco company that much
to kill myself!

As you know we both enjoy the side-benefit of a better sense of taste AND
smell.

Best,

Andy
