It has been awhile since I last posted, life happens. I have noticed recently how things have been going so smoothly in my daily life. A couple years ago it was not like this, I had a void, something wasn't right, and something was missing. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I now know what it was, why it was causing these problems, and how I came to cope with it. This can be of a great help to most but may be difficult to get used to at first. To introduce myself; I naturally have these characteristics:

The dreaded white ring. It can make a beautiful antique look like an old outdated piece of firewood. White rings and water marks (usually a white haze on the finish) are caused by too much moisture building up underneath the finish, either from water or heat damage.

I quit smoking about a year and a half ago but still have an addiction to nicotine. After pulling up some quick facts at http://www.adha.org, it is clear that tobacco and nicotine are very addictive, deadly.... and popular. We all know how bad nicotine is in all its forms.
