Re: *** BREAD : THE MOVIE ***

The bread movie was so good I could almost smell it Sue. Your experience
sounds like MY experince trying to put some music on my ipod...very much
punctuated by thoughts of smoking...but I didn't.I managed to get around
not
having SP2.Took around 5 frustrating hours trying heaps of different
things....aaaarrrrrgggggg.

One week, one day, 23 hours, 45 minutes and 15 seconds. 359 cigarettes not
smoked, saving $151.02. Life saved: 1 day, 5 hours, 55 minutes.
