the cost
hmmm...14 packs of cigarettes cost the same (and lasted as long) as 4 three string bales of alfalfa. 59,72,48,0,B
cigarettes...lot less to smoke not to mention no nicotine content in the alfalfa..pointless really,stick with the cowboy killers...sometimes less really is more..more than likely has that generic taste, on second thought I tried a pack once..I think they make em from cow patties...I reckon that's where the cattle figure into the equation
Funny how whatever it is that you are trying to change just snags your attention in everything. Hang in there! The longer you resist, the less power it has over you and the sooner you are really free. Seems there is also a spiritual lesson here. "Having done all, stand!" Ephesians 6:13
In a late work session last night at school, someone offered me snacks that I'm not supposed to eat for health reasons. And I realized that the pull of cravings for those had finally left. It's coming for you, too.
What's that Alfalfa taste like? I know people tend to substitute eating for smoking when they quit. Eating hay is a new one to me. But, whatever works!
I vote for food for the boys
