Yay! They just delivered my latest haul of Yankee tarts. Remember when I said how I wasn’t going to the Yankee store anymore because of the increase in tart prices ($1.59 each)? This woman has tons, and for the ones that I like, most are 99 cents. I’m so excited.
Then, I was glancing at one of my RT magazines, and there’s a new anti-smoking med on the horizon, called Varenicline tartrate. Sounds v-e-r-y promising. Not only does it mimic nicotine, if you smoke while using it, you don’t get the normal effect ‘cos the med is sitting in your normal *nicotine spots* — hoggin’ all the good space.
I know that most of you guys around here don’t even smoke, but for the few that may, it sounds pretty damn good to me. Of course, if they made a pill to take away the mental cravings, I’d be 1st in line for sure!
Speaking of… did I tell you that I won a contest to redesign our Respiratory Care State Society web site as well as a new logo for it? Honestly, if you saw the current/old one, it looks like it’s a demo on what NOT to do when creating a web site. oy! (the new one isn’t up yet)
Anyhoo. Yes, been fairly quiet on the Kitty home front here. Nothing really happening except for the usual, ya know?
So until next time….

I heard about that drug a while back… and jumped for joy. I will be calling my doctor the day (hour, minute, second) it becomes available. You’ll be happy to know that it is actually a two part system – one blocks the nicotine, the other is like Zyban, to calm you.
May not be on the market for another year, though – but they are trying to fast-track it with the FDA. Still, that’s six months wait time. Wish I could have signed up for the clinical trials… *sigh*
*waves hi to miz kitty*
Don’t I know you??? LOL
*waving back*
Yes, I think we met years ago… hey, it really was years ago!
Hi Dolly Dumpling…….hey, if that drug is available and — if/when you find out all you can about it (safety/side effects, blah blah) and it still sounds groovy…..please! Go for it.
I know. I know. Between your mother, husband and wonderful daughter, you’ve heard all you really care to hear about the blessings of NOT smoking. But. I gotta say it one more time. How wonderful it would be if you could quit, and I know you will one of these days. Right?
It just feels so mah-vel-ous! Would I lie? And of course, think about having a big wad of money in your purse instead of it going up in smoke……….. Yay!
Love you muchly,
