I dunno.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#808000&quot;&gt;It's over 8 months since I had a cig, so it can't be that.

Just cannot be messed. Everything is of a sameness. No point in anything.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#808000&quot;&gt;When I was younger, however I felt, I knew it would pass, something would be round the corner.

It is nice to &amp;nbsp;have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will &amp;nbsp;solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break &amp;nbsp;down and be absorbed by the &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;intestine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; faster than the &amp;nbsp;solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into &amp;nbsp;fats and may&amp;nbsp;lead to &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;cancer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. It is best to &amp;nbsp;drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;Common Symptoms Of &amp;nbsp;Heart Attack...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A serious note &amp;nbsp;about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack &amp;nbsp;symptom is going to be the &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;left arm &amp;nbsp;hurting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; . Be aware of &amp;nbsp;intense &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; in the &amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;jaw &amp;nbsp;line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; .&lt;br /&gt; You may never &amp;nbsp;have the first &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;chest &amp;nbsp;pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; during the course &amp;nbsp;of a heart attack. &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;Nausea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; and &amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;intense &amp;nbsp;sweating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; are also common &amp;nbsp;symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do &amp;nbsp;not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be &amp;nbsp;careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could &amp;nbsp;survive.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;cardiologist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; says if everyone &amp;nbsp;who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll &amp;nbsp;save at least one life.
