		<title>One month ago, I smoked my last cigarette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been a smoker on and off for the last 27 years.  I am not sure why I started smoking. Be it Rebelliousness, thinking it was &#8220;cool&#8221;, or some other reason.  I just remember that I started when I was about 12 years old.   I used to go out to the back yard and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, it&#8217;s been almost 15 years since I have had a driver&#8217;s license.  I did a lot of traveling and had been using my passport for identification.  Most places I&#8217;ve been, I never really needed to drive.   Angel also loves to drive, she had been driving me pretty much anytime I needed [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Being an Alternative Family and dealing with Religion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My immediate family is very alternative in regards as to how most families function.  First and foremost in my family, the priority resides with my son.  All our decisions and choices ALWAYS take him into consideration first.

		<title>Drupal &#8211; Finally I see the light!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time now, I&#8217;ve been looking for a web framework that I can work with.  I&#8217;ve been a huge proponent of Wordpress, vBulletin, DZOIC, and phpFox.  Those allow for very specialized types of sites.  Lately, I have been looking for something that is very configurable without me having to re-invent the wheel or code [...]]]></description>

		<title>2 years ago, I was a drinking fool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week 2 years ago (in 2007) I stopped drinking.
I woke up one morning and decided it was time to stop.  I have not had a drink of alcohol since.   Prior to that, I was a drinking fool!   I was drinking like mad.  I had gotten to the point in my drinking where [...]]]></description>

		<title>TheJoe gets a Unibody 17&#8243; MacBook Pro&#8230; Twice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me start by saying, &#8220;I did not NEED to upgrade my laptop&#8221;.  I did so because I promised Andrew that when certain things happened, that he would get my late 2008 17&#8243; MacBook Pro.  Those things occurred and I made good on my promise.  So, I had to get a new computer.  This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>GFE should never be an upsell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thing I noticed recently on some of the provider boards I am on, is that for some providers, GFE is offered as an additional service. Meaning, that they have multiple offerings and their base offering is a non-GFE one and then their &#8220;menu&#8221; has additional &#8220;items&#8221; that will either constitute the technical aspects of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What sign are you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got this in an e-mail and thought I would share&#8230;
Do you believe in astrology? Do you read what the stars say about you, checking the papers everyday? Here&#8217;s another take.
What is your sign?
