But what capped it for me was leaving out cuts of...

    Stupidly cheated and now feel awful!

    Fags and Carbs

    I used to be addicted to cigarettes, old holborn rollies for 30 years. I tried to stop a few times cut back nic gum etc the stress of the potential loss of smoking would make me smoke more! I decided in early 2013 that i MUST stop. The year rolled on and in mid December my smoking addiction...

Cats are amazingly robust and fragile like us so most will thrive on it, my old boy [screen name is his] lived for 19...
