EX Community

Born in S. California and raised there and in Arizona, I moved to the Midwest with my ex and just haven't moved back. I started life in nurses training, though didn't finish (that's where I started smoking - I had a roommate who smoked and hospital cafeteria food helped pack on the "freshman 15" so I decided to stop eating soda crackers to deal with the very real stress and started smoking. The nurses' and doctors' dining hall where we ate our meals was smoke-filled - everyone seemed to be smoking in the '60's.
