You should sit up straight and alternate between the front brain and the rear brain. Also, lose some weight, and I don't believe anything you say anyway.

Tomorrow morning, go to ProcyclingLive | Home - live updates and live streaming video from procycling events around the world and watch Milan Sanremo live. That should cool you down.

I see that other thread is up to 5 pages. Should I take another look at it after being away for a while?

In truth? Not really.
Your Brains will have to quit smoking for their own reasons in their own time.
Interventions are rarely effective and often provoke hostility and resentment.

reduce your salt intake, unless you're on a low sodium diet already. Then increase your salt intake, that is only if you're on a low fat diet, but not a low carb diet. If you're on a low carb diet, as they say in Ireland; yer fecked.
