Re: Christmas gift

<t>Courtny,<br/> FYI..playdough is the #1 recognizable smell in the US. Thought that was an intertesting factoid. Very cool that your boyfriend is thinking about you in that way.

Re: Getting off drugs, HOW LONG TO READJUST TO PAIN?

<t>Christopher,<br/> Glad to see you are still amoung us. And still providing inspiration I see. Bro..if you get off neurontin, your my hero. If there is anything I can do..just holler.
