16. When I was thirty I was diagnosed with RA.
Before that I enjoyed running with my kids - I enjoyed very good health. So, thirteen years!

17. If you were a "normal" smoker, that's about $50,000 you haven't
burnt into your lungs. Well done.

since I asked the simple question: - Do you love me? - No. - She wanted to explain, but I said – there’s no need to explain; if you don’t love me, the reasons are irrelevant. - and I walked out. Forever.

31. Congratulations, ohiosmith! I went one whole year
got married, and went back immediately. I don't remember the last time I ate chocolate. Years -- maybe seven years. My son is wrestling with his smoking. He'll make it. I may try again this summer.
