Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Dear Dawn you must enlighten me. You said to Debbie that what she was greatly worded and you asked me to listen but I'm afraid I missed what it was. Sorry but I have been such a scatterbrain.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hey Debbie, You are absolutely right about me feeling proud of myself but as you may know, it takes a long time to realize it. Actually, it was somebody on the net that pointed it out to me. It dawned (excuse the pun) on me that not only have I lost 40 pounds since may but I have also given up smoking. God, my nerves are shot! LOL. But the self-esteem issue still hangs around like a bad penny. It is something I am working on though. Thanks for your wonderful letter I honestly appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hey Norma I will do that. I'm making a list and I'm going to ask my darling wife to e-mail both lists. You people are so wonderful. I don't know any other way to show it. By the way, I love Bradford and I am literally fifteen minutes away. So like I said, I will let you know.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Dawn To be honest, I went into the hospital in May because I literally could not breathe. I had fluid on my lungs and heart and they kept me for nine days. So I kind of went down kicking and screaming with the smoking. It has been tough I can tell you but I had what they call an event so as much stress that I have been under, there is something making not go back. Of course, not being able to breathe will do that to you. I still want one but it passes real quick and frankly I'm glad I stopped because I really do feel better. By the way, I used the patch in the hospital because I threatened to beat up a doctor until I got one. Just kidding. But one day I literally forgot to put it on and I haven't worn one since. It's a huge mind game but you really should try it. Like I said, I'm still out of breath because of my weight, but now if I pause I can catch it whereas before I couldn't Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 Dawn- Well if they talk about a strict, but caring teacher - that's her! LOL She's going to retire after this year. She's been teaching for over 30 years and I think it's time.
