It's all we've ever known....unless you're John Kerry.
I'm dramatic. I used to be on the stage.
I use caps on certain words to emphasize them. Didn't you know that? Sorry that bothers you, but that's just me.
Shrieking? My goodness. I haven't said a word. You don't live near me do you? :)
NOW WHEN I DO THIS, YOU WILL KNOW I AM MAD!
Heh!
"secondhand smoke. your grandparents killed her."
Good for you. That's great. I know my mom is so glad she doesn't smoke anymore. (This Peter Jennings story has made her a little worried though.) Now we go into a restaurant and she can't stand the smell if they have a smoking section. Personally, I don't like the smell either, but I try not to look down on smokers since I grew up around them my whole life. Most people in my family have quit--dad, mom, brother, husband, father-in-law. Baby brother tried to quit and was successful but then would go back to it. Now he's in a "government facility" (to put it nicely) where they don't allow smoking. Anyway, it's nice to hear about your success story.
It makes me sick, eXe. It really does. I thought I would be safe and secure in Free Republic, thinking I would be among my own and be safe.
But anytime a smoking thread pops up, the nasties come out from under their rocks. I just shake my head. And you see how they accuse me. Just unbelievable.
BTW, El Dorado Co, CA. is the only county in CA with naturally occuring friable asbestos.
Please don't sit down next to me in my favorite bar. I was there first; no smoking in my space. Yes they will determine that beer will kill me too. I'll take my chances.
As to Mr. big shot from Canada? Too bad, he knew that cigarettes were killers at least forty years ago.
Warm laptops in their little laps can cause low sperm count too. LOL
That is the one time it was hardest for my mom when she quit. She loved to have a couple with her morning coffee.
Sickening, isn't it? Well, FnKerry doesn't have to worry. He has money out the gazoo and have you seen pictures of their 6 big mansions?
But oh yes, he is for the little guy. He makes me want to throw up.

Who are you?????
And I can get along with anybody! I'm a lover not a fighter, but I won't lay down and be a rug for anybody.
And don't worry. Now that you made the statement that you did, I would drive down another block just so I wouldn't have to be in the same place as you! Never fear.
And I think I am far north enough never to have to meet you. ~whew
Now I did read that!
I think you have lost it. Did not ask you to lay down. Go have another beer. Dare I say that?
How long had you smoked before you quit? I'd really love to quit, but I've been smoking for about 15 years and think it'd be harder than heck!
My father died of lung cancer in his 50's when I was a little kid. One of the few things I remember about him was that he smoked Camels. I'm not an anti-smoking zealot at all, people can do what they want - I just hope people quit for their own and their kids' sake.
Read what you posted to me. Telling me not to sit next to you and smoke.
"Please don't sit down next to me in my favorite bar. I was there first; no smoking in my space. Yes they will determine that beer will kill me too. I'll take my chances."
And I said:

And for your information, I don't drink. The only bad habit I have is smoking. How's that.
Kinda testy, aren't we? Maybe it's not ME that needs a drink.
Whoohaaawhhooohahahahahahahahaha.
Is there a full moon?
Good night!
Probably the only thing worse than cancer is chemotherapy.
I had a buddy who went into the pharmaceutical research industry and his Dad was a cancer researcher at NIH. Both were highly motivated as they had a hard family history of nearly all males dying in either their 20's from testicular cancer or 50's from brain cancer.
My friend told me that the biggest factors affecting survival rates were late detection and physicians aquiescence to patients desires to go moderate on chemotherapy to mitigate the unpleasant side effects.
He said that he has every suspicious lump or knob checked\biopsied and if he ever comes up positive for a cancer it's being excised and followed up with, as he put it, "The nastiest, hair falling out, puking, crawl on my hands and knees, kill me now chemotherapy I can take".
Any physicians, please weigh in on the veracity of this...
Through a combination of late detection and insufficient alarm in response, my mother lost her battle to colon cancer in three months. By the time they found it, it had hit the liver, and that was that.
