Dangerous Temps

meWisconsin and others in the dangerous temperature zone - please stay warm and safe.  Thinking about you all - we are going to be cold - but not like YOU!

Can you IMAGINE going outside to smoke?  Fingers without gloves will develop frostbite in a really short period of time:  "On exposed skin, with wind chill values between -10 and -20 degrees, frostbite can happen in 30 minutes. As wind chills climb to -20 to -30, it could happen in as little as 10 minutes." 

SO glad we don't do that anymore!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
