I forgot to tell you my favorite. Mixing acetylene and oxygen in a baloon, or whatever is handy. GO BOOM! We did this in vocational school, drove the instructor mad. We'd probably go to jail for it in today's academic climate. Well, most of us in this line of work ain't right anyway. My point is Plain oxygen out of the bottle will not GO BOOM.

We already had it figured out that you used to smoke, nothing louder than a reformed sinner.

Unfortunately (I guess), I don't have osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease.

That is very true, I always say that I've got to be the worst ex-smoker you ever want to meet. Especially if I've been taking steroids. :-) There really is something to that "roid rage" they talk about.

Any site that accepts or sponsors links of that nature can surely be improved upon as a reference; my points here are that you mustn't take other's inadvertent behavior personally.

This thread began because the specific case described was a perfect irony in a very imperfect world and was not intended for dissection or forensic analysis.

I was referring to the odor; many newer cars have activated charcoal cabin air filters that are part of the scheduled maintenance program outlined in the owner's manual, although I know everyone isn't prepared to just run out and buy a new car for that benefit.

Gee, somehow I came across as being a heartless bastard. I'm not. I smoke. And if I'm in my 90's and in a wheelchair and living in a home but the only way I can smoke is to go outside, well I guess I'll just go outside. They make electric wheelchairs and automatic doors, for cryin' out loud.

And a no-smoking policy in a home is a very good idea. One semi-coherant Alzheimer's patient falls asleep smoking and a dozen moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas go up in flames.

You speak for yourself.

And see post 174.

How are apartments designed to prevent smoke infiltration? Apparently, this apartment wasn't designed that way!! I know that I sound like one of those intolerant non-smokers, but I don't think it's unreasonable to wish for a place that doesn't smell like your neighborhood bar 24 hours a day.

Go to your local government site and read your fire codes.

I guess Poster #36 is right I should have added the sarcasm tag. I didnt think it was necessary. Of course I was kidding.
