I enjoyed reading all your stories posted, about the camel (I often babysit grands so I can relate) and stopping smoking! I'm not a smoker but I do understand how powerful the addiction is. Congrats on making the break and remaining smoke-free all this time. The photo reminds me of my old days, the fashions, etc.CONNIE Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524592276175272170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-62685364911031296772007-04-10T20:28:00.000+10:002007-04-10T20:28:00.000+10:00Meggie !What an *interesting* photo - just look at...Meggie !<BR/>What an *interesting* photo - just look at the people .. and I believe DB Beer is STILL popular in NZ ;)<BR/><BR/>The couple closest you on the left though, she with her arm around he ... are they siblings ?<BR/><BR/>Look at the mouth, the nose, the eyebrows, eyes, jawline etc. Doppelgangers.

I said I won't smoke after tonight..! When the laughter died down, several other said they would join me. I did it, I quit. Cold Turkey too. I don't know why that time was different. I went from a svelte smoker to a fat non~smoker, and now if they would just come up with a candy 'patch' I'd be all set..Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-88398726011265747652007-04-10T01:32:00.000+10:002007-04-10T01:32:00.000+10:00You all look so glamourous in the illegal nightclu...You all look so glamourous in the illegal nightclub...I love B&W photos.verniciousknidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493126794954857798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-70484299623686642682007-04-09T21:52:00.000+10:002007-04-09T21:52:00.000+10:00I'm glad you were able to quit.

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been, particularly with small daredevil children wandering around the acupuncturist's.<BR/><BR/>In the photo you look like you're having fun.
