Perfectly fine to screw up. I wish more people would "get it." That's what we're all about. We have our moments on both sides of the self-esteem scale.

You know, sometimes I can start to see the beef some folks have with liberals. I'm not sensitive to all that second-hand smoke crap. Like the earlier finding, for example. Frankly, children who are exposed to second-hand smoke are also more likely to be exposed to drunk parents, mold in the sink, diet issues, etc. I would think. So I'm not sure how they;re isolating those effects. Sure, SS smoke is bad, so it should simply not happen around children. I'd guess very few of you would have exposed your kids to it. I don't.

Lendaddy's experiences are similar to what I remember. Extreme anguish each waking second for two days or three. Then the World of Smells comes to you, whether you like certain aromas or not. And yes, sleep is much better and the lines on your face begin to disappear. I'm sure you've noticed the alert-looking guy in the mirror.

You know, I think an important practice established early might be worhtwhile, and that is to replace the banned behavior with something more productive. Not sure what that is, but just to stay busy. And maybe salad, with just a little dressing to go with your improved taste sense. Write. Reward yourself with a half hour of reading a nice book and having a half-glass of wine before bed. Take walks. Exploit your new senses as a reward, including your improved mental acuity. That will help you notice the improvements. I'm admiring you guys a great deal. I'm happy for you guys and, well okay, envious.
