Unless he's already one of those who picks his nose and eats it! I've never been a nail-biter, but I do have this habit of biting the inside of my cheek (no, not *that* one - the one on me face!) Sometimes those kinds of "neurotic" habits can be cured by using a mild dose of a tranquilizer like diazepam, but that's a bit drastic, IMO - why resort to drugs for something like that? (Save 'em for when you really need them!) Better to pay attention to the fact that you're doing it - if you become aware that you are doing it, it's easier to stop (like, I'm an expert on this - the ex bit his nails down to the quick and I found it *really* annoying - I can't stand seeing anyone bite their nails - it drives me nuts.) > Count me in with the people who have given up > smoking.

But it's not the smoke I want - it's the feel of a cigarette in my fingers and that slooow inhale. I know I'd probably get sick if I smoked now - I'm allergic to the smoke and I end up with a massive sinus headache, and sometimes an infection, if I'm around it too long. I won't visit my sister because she and her husband smoke like chimneys and I always end up sick after visiting her, but I have to make other excuses for not going, because she's one of those rabid smokers who thinks people like me are smoke-Nazis. I hate coming home reeking of smoke, so, Michael, just think how *nice* you're going to smell to other people from now on, esp. if the rest of your family are non-smokers. ______________________________________________________ Send your holiday cheer with http://greetings.yahoo.ca
