For everyone here who resolve to quit smoking, well, as an asthma sufferer, I already know how it feels to be unable to walk across this room because you can't breath. Trust me, you don't want that!

Madmaxine, I too have not been able to serve my fellow Americans for physical reasons. Funny thing is all I remember is the doctor telling me and my mom it was not serious but it would keep me out of Vietnam. He used that phrase specifically and it has stuck in my mind every since. And I don't know why. So, I resolve to make a soldier welcome in any capacity I can. I hope I can be worthy enough to serve those who serve.

I had to turn in early last night with sniffles. Not the flu...high mold spore count. I'm still sniflly and nothing is helping. Hope that your back gets better and that the flu is almost over. My stepmother has it. She didn't think she needed a flu shot and caught it from one of the grandchildren ( not mine ). What a way to spend the holidays. Hugs and a heating pad for the back if that would make it feel better. No problem madmaxine. I had to turn in early last night with sniffles. Not the

The very least I can do is give the Anti-American jack-a a piece of my mind. It is nothing compared to your service in Viet Nam. Thank you for keeping me and my family free!

Last year I needed to lose about 10 pounds, now I'm up to 20. It's mine and Mr. Mom2Jack's 10th anniversary this May. I'd like to go away somewhere and look somewhat decent in a swimsuit. I will also try harder to get up when the alarm goes off so I'm not racing to get my son to school on time every morning. I will also make a greater effort to do more volunteering and helping others.

Thank you JohnnyD for sharing your wonderful experience. We should each do this at least once in our lives. I recently greeted returning troops and I was so touched by how much they appreciated it.

This tired, cliched response should be retired because it has become a sure tip-off that what is about to be said next could fertilize every corn field in Iowa for the next three hundred years!

But there is nothing like the real sport of tennis. It is difficult to learn and the big problem is that Federer and Sharapova and other stars are so brilliant at what they do that they make the sport of tennis seem easy. And it difficult as can be and so many beginners quit. But start taking lessons, work at it religiously and results eventually come. When you reach a level of proficiency and you have some capacity with the backhand shot, then you will become addicted to tennis. I promise. Nobody who picks up tennis and sticks with the rough patches will ever give up this sport. It is something that is part of your DNA. Just check out the people in the public park when it is 100 degrees in the summer. To the uninitiated, it seems like madness. But to those of us who are tennis addicts, it is normal behavior. And tennis is not a rich man's sport. Look at Rafa Nadal and the Williams sisters. I am an evangelist for this sport.
