Re: Happy Birthday Jesse

Jesse and Kathy,
For the first dozen years, I often would hop into the car, put it in gear, and reach for the (nonexistent) cigarette pack. I still sometimes dream about smoking a cigarette, then wake up berating myself for smoking, until I realize that it was only a dream.
I used to have a smoke every now and then after I quit. I found that it always made it harder to resist the next time. So much so that one lousy cigarette triggered another 3 years of addiction. In addition, because of the way nicotine paralyzes the cilia in the lung (the cells that remove the crud) , it makes it harder to clean up the gunk if you have a cold. You probably remember cilia from your high school biology.
I just googled cilia and lungs and found this. http://www.ffn.yuku.com/topic/9972

Jesse, Happy, happy birthday. Hope you get that dinner out soon.
I agree with Daryl about the smoking taking many years to affect they way a cold acts. And tell Robert that I at least, still missed smoking at the 6 yr point! But now, after 20 yrs, I just thank God I'm not still doing it. Kathy 
p.s. What do you know about Lady Chatsworth?
