she needs to light up in the nursing home and have the nursing home call the cops and have her arrested.Then her daughter needs to make sure al lthe local media is there when the police arrive
The widely distributed report on Don Knotts death from AP states that he died from pulmonary and respiratory failure; one report I heard while channel surfing last evening said he died of lung cancer while Darren McGavin's family's official statement on his death was that he died from natural causes, 81 and 83 respectively and only a 50/50 chance of not being blamed, could be worse, I guess.
To whom it may concern, please knock off the personal stuff.
This is bull and they KNOW it. It's no safety hazard, but just an annoyance to non-smokers and not much of one if she smokes in a room away from everyone else.
Someone I know had their 82 year old mother smoke out in the cold. I told them in a light joking manner it was not right to do that to her. They now allow her to smoke in a room upstairs with the window open when she comes to visit. Not the same situation as the woman in the story but not nice none the less. I'm glad they thought better of it.
Tips for going outside in the cold.
2. Wear loose fitting clothing.
3. Keep dry. Use an umbrella and boots if it's raining or snowing.
4. Wear mittens instead of fingered gloves.
5. Wear a stocking cap and make sure to cover ears and neck.
6. Wear plenty of clothes
What? She didn't know the rules when she moved in??
Some genius should invent the "smoking tent". I mean if we can do an oxygen tent why not a smoking tent ?
This is very sad, but it is a personal problem, not the nursing home's problem. Sorry - this may sound callous, but if those are the rules, then those are the rules.
I agree with you on a lot of things, but not this.
It's a nursing home where lots of the patients probably have respiratory problems.
If she's hale enough to smoke, she's hale enough to go outside.
In Arkansas, people can't even smoke in their own cars if it is parked on hospital property. Everyone has to go across the street to the cemetary now.
Not as sick as the people who read the headline and thought to themselves, "Good for her," or "Serves her right."
