Oh Cat you are making that beach sound awesome. Vicki I wish I could hop on a plane and come visit and soak up the sun and have lots of fun. Maybe we could all go.....sigh....in our heads anyway! No one in their right mind would want to see me in a bathing suit! Happy New Year to everyone. Now check in and let us know how you're doing! Chris.

Merry Christmas Beauty! I felt in my heart that you were out there enjoying life! Thats what I am doing also...catching up on all the things I missed out on as a smoker. I am never giving back this freedom. Okay Vicki thats it...100 at Christmas time....I'm packing my bikini and heading your way for the season LOL. After all you did say they come in all shapes and sizes there on your beaches, so I know I won;t scare anyone off! Ha! Ha!...

Hi Cat, Chris and Seeker great to see you all here and I know all our friends are with us in spirit. Cat how did you guess that I am enjoying all the things that I couldn't do when I was studying. It is so good to have some time to enjoy life. I am grateful for many things this past year and very grateful that I am a free breather and meeting everyone here. I know it is really cold in the NOrth but down here girls it is way over 100 at...

Strange....I posted a response but it was never published. Maybe I did something wrong? Well, thanks again to all who have responded to my original post, and for the valuable tips you all gave. I am happy to tell you that my Christmas present to myself arrived - the book by Alan Carr. I have thumbed through the beginning but have not had a chance yet to give a good read. Seems very encouraging to say the least. I am hoping that gives me more...
