I will pray for her today, if that isn’t offensive to you.

My comment was meant as something of a joke. For years now, I’ve volunteered to assist a Viet Nam veteran buddy of mine and month after month, I’d take him to the VA for his checkups, (he had a stroke, then blood clots in the lungs, etc).

Anyway, we’d pull up to the VA and there were always these guys in wheel chairs with oxygen tanks strapped to the chairs, tubes up their noses, smoking away in the designated smoking zone. And yes, I was told by a VA Doctor that occasionally, one of them would go up in flames.

Thanks for the prayer. I was not in the least offended. My husband goes to the VA and I remember being at the Minneapolis VA and there was a guy down there in a hospital bed. My husband is a smoker, recently quit. His mom gave him all sorts of crap about it. That's why it's sort of funny in a perverse sort of way.

If you tell her I'll deny it the whole thing. ;)
