My liver has been repairing itself for about the last year and a half. Funny how life got a bunch cheaper too. :D
It got cheaper again in January when I smoked my last cig.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. My mother and my sister both smoke and I would love nothing more than for them to quit, but I'm sure you can attest, they won't quit until they're ready.

I had two glasses of wine last night on an empty stomach and had a nice little buzz, but that wore off after the meal. LOL

I rediscovered an old friend who I thought had died years ago. He quite smoking but he had emphesma so bad he had to use an oxygen tank. I'd not seen him in 15 years until I read an article in our newspaper about his lung transplant and recovery. He was running a charity that helps provide long term lodging for people who travel to have lung transplants. I paid him a visit and made the decision to stop smoking.

That'll do it everytime. I have a friend whose mother quit when she was 76 years old. She's now 80 and hasn't touched a cigarette and she goes out to karaoke every week in a smoke filled bar. But she got sick from it 4 years ago and never looked back.

Sounds like my night...I'm alone with beer and Bruce DVD. Those lyrics on Dancing in the Dark are speaking to me tonight -

I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

I can certainly attest to this. I make great sweet tea, and yeah, there's an art to it. I drink a LOT of it.

This is how I do it. I use a 3 quart sauce pan and fill it close to the top. Use cold water, as using hot water from the tap stirs up the effluents in the pipes. Not sure effluents is the right word, but you get the idea. Once the water boils, remove it from the burner and then place 3 family sized tea bags, of your choice, I usually use Lipton, in the heated water. Let it steep for a good 10 - 15 minutes. I put a slightly heaping cup of sugar in a gallon pitcher and pour the steeped tea in and then using the sauce pan, fill it to the top. If you try to use the faucet, it creates foam and you just have to wait for the foam to settle, so using the sauce pan to continue filling the pitcher saves time and mess. Just stir it up and pour it over a large glass full of ice. Once the tea has cooled enough, you can put it in the fridge. Tea that's refrigerated requires a lot less ice per glass.

To have instantly cold tea, just add ice to your hot tea/sugar mixture. Just enough to make it cold, stir til melted, finish with cold water. Minimal ice meltage for your first cup. Damn I love tea!

Sounds like how I make it..........it has antioxidents that are good for you, helps fight cancers and stuff. Plus right now my stomach is not doing so hot, and a tall glass of tea is soothing when I am ill. Put a slice of lemon or lime in it and mmmmmmmmmmmmm............McAllisters Deli makes the best Sweet Tea in the south. It is famous for it! :D

At the moment, my liver is still busy working after a 10k walk, but I plan to marinade it in single malt a little later on tonight.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

Good for you! I quit smoking about 4 years ago after seeing Tammy Faye Baker on the Larry King Show. It was just a few days before she passed away from lung cancer. Scared the hell out of me. Just this summer a friend and coworker has been going through treatment for lung cancer it's brutal.

My mother, who only smoked very, very lightly for ten years and quit in her 30s (I can't even remember her smoking), got lung cancer in her 70s. The doctors said there's ten percent, usually women, who get lung cancer not related to smoking and feel she fell in that category. But her father owned a tobacco farm and smoked, and I always wondered if secondhand smoke caused it. They said the other 90 percent is purely smoking related. Her bout with lung cancer was extremely brutal, a nightmare. I've had other relatives and friends' parents, who all smoked, die from lung cancer, also, and many did suffer from emphysema and had to use oxygen from a much earlier age. But after caring for her and watching her suffer and what she went through b/c it spreads to the brain usually, I can't understand people who don't give it up. Though, I understand it's hard to kick.

Lung Cancer is one of the worse deaths I have witnessed.....It's like you are continually drowning...and you cannot come up for air.


Sorry about your mother.....it must have been awful to watch.

Yep, lung cancer is not somethin to fuck around with. My first experience with death was watching my grandfather pass away from it in his mid 60s when I was about 10. Not fun. Still miss him... great guy, very funny, very cool. He woulda been the grandfather playin beer pong at the grad parties and coming to visit at college and all that. Smokin ain't worth it. At least if you die from drinking it's more fun.

You just reminded me of a party years ago where my sister's best friend asked a heavy-drinking mate of ours "Robbie, when you die, can I have your liver for a couch?"
