Bless you for posting !!! I didn't know how many more days until the national. Lets see now. I have 12 smoke free days plus the 263 equals 275 times the 4,50 cents pre day I am not spending on smoles. that gives me 1,237.50 of extra money to spend on the national. :0) Yes!! Not enough for a face lift or a tummy tuck but I will take it :0) Terry Paula Cooke <psharp212@xxxxxxx> wrote: Well, she WANTED to go AND she found a way to get there, didn't she?
