Oh, I bet we have some of those "professionals" here too.

[nopardons]

That's not entirely so. Some people are deathly allergic to some medicines, which they have NEVER been exposed to before. And yes, I can say that, because it shows up in babies, who haven't ever had nor been near those meds, or any other meds at all.

Then there is the dramatic climate/geographical change. This is, for the most part, pollen related

Exactly what happened to me when I moved from NYC to Delaware.......had no clue what was going on, thought I had some kind of a major disease.

It's been an interesting discussion, but this has been a long, and right at the moment unhappy, day and so I will bid you all a fond goodnight. I expect this will get picked back up in the morning :)

[nopardons]

You were a nasty piece back then and a new nic hasn't changed that, pet.

I don't read EVERY thread and neither am I on here all the time. I just happen to know most of the rules here.

Unlike you, I really do have a life and don't have to lie about it.

[Gabz]

My Friend, I am not arguing with you about your problem with tobacco smoke, please, I hope you understand that.

[nopardons]

You can get the same thing, by moving from city to city. You don't really have to make an extreme type of move at all; though that does make things much worse.

I'm so very sorry that you had an unhappy day.

See you again soon........pleasant dreams.

[Ditter]

Yes I know that. ;9)

The fix here is simple, go to a flea market purchase a child restraint seat, some baby blankets, and a doll, set them in the back seat, and light up a nice fat stogie, and wait for the cops to pull you over. When enough cops get tired of pulling smokers over with baby dolls in the back seat the stupidity will end.

[Gabz]

Probably.

Mud is good. :)

nite, Gabz :)

NYC to Dover, Delaware was only 160 miles, not exactly what I would call an extreme move - but for allergy city, it sure was (we won't discuss the supposed culture shock). Where I now live in Virginia is not much better, but of course the climate is the same as Dover, only there is more farm land and forests and I am surrounded by both :)

I'm a conservative living in Virginia and a liberal was just elected Governor - not a good day.............thanks for caring.

I really should hit the sack.

It's been fun talking with you, it's been a while.

[nopardons]

As I said, it really does NOT have to be an extreme move. But the difference in flora and fauna and yucky Liberals, makes the difference. Okay, so the density or not of the damned Liberal population doesn't have anything to do with allergies, but it doesn't help any either.

Sorry about the election results. :-(

Go to bed...this topic was exhausted years ago, long before this thread ever was posted. Try to get a good night's rest.

yes, it's been a while...we were away, TWICE, in a span of two+ months time and I haven't been here all that much, since I've been back.

[TheGunny]

Im good with it!

A bunch of us were following the SARs threads when they were hot topic and there was one that showed people that smoked didn't catch it.

Could you *ping* me to that when you find it?

[Calpernia]

I will try to look for that article tomorrow. We had a miserable elections night....

Sulking on a NJ Thread.

[ShadowDancer]

Unlike you, I really do have a life

Repeat that when you're posting at three in the morning. Night, sweet pea.

My friend with asthma still smokes, and in fact will light one when she feels an attack coming on. In the 20 years I've known her, I've never seen her have an attack and she can only remember having one full blown attack in more than 30 years

I knew two folks with asthma who started smoking to stop the attacks.

When my kids were little I was the "sterile" mom. Both my kids had asthma. When I sent them to stay for the summers with their smoking, wood stove burning, dozen cats, play in the hay mound grandma, the asthma would clear up. Within two weeks of coming home, they'd be wheezing again. I started smoking (not related to their health), got a couple of cats, insisted that they go outside and get dirty at least twice a week and stopped bleaching everything. Neither of them ever had another attack.

Same thing happened to my friend's daughter.

About five years ago workers began stuccoing the building I was living in. It took them two months and I had a *horrible* reaction to whatever they were spraying. The doctor was quite close to putting me in the hospital until they were done (we were living in Germany and I really had no other place to go), but they finished up right when we were at the breaking point. Inhalers helped a little. Breathing treatments, steroids, a half dozen other medicines just barely kept me going. But a cigarette... After a cigarette I was clear for a good half hour.

And one more thing... I've known dozens and dozens of smokers. I have never known a smoker who came down with lung cancer. I knew ONE who got emphysema at the age of 89 after smoking 2 packs a day of Camel filterless since he was 9 years old. He quit smoking (due to the illness) and died of a UTI five years later at the age of 94. NINTY FOUR! Crap! I'll take it!

I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but I just don't believe that it's as common as everyone wants us to think.

Some people are night owls...that doesn't mean that they don't have a for real life; cupcake.

And, tootsie, some of us have never been banned nor had to change our nics. ;^)
