Giving up chocolate probably isn’t hazardous to the person doing the giving up but those they encounter who tick them off. The following is not mine but sent to me by my sister.

The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man
has to do is open his mouth and he takes his very life into his own hands!
This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver’s license in the
wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!!

DANGEROUS: What’s for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: WOW! Look at you!
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?
SAFER: What did I do wrong?
SAFEST: Here’s fifty dollars.
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS: What did you do all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn’t overdo it today.
SAFEST: I’ve always loved you in that robe!
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some more chocolate.

Another thing to giggle about... My husband, not happy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my
moods. When I’m in a good mood, it turns green. When I’m in a bad mood, it
leaves a big red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he’ll buy me
diamonds. Here have some chocolate.

I've got a 14th: Permanent Menstrual Syndrome

It was bad enough when my wife went through the well known symptoms once a month, but when she hit menopause, I found out what hell was like. ;o)

I have a tee shirt with another version of what PMS stands for: Precious Moody Southerner. As a Southern girl from NC, I particularly like that version.

As for the relationship between smoking and cancer, I have always thought the record was mixed since people who have never smoked develop lung cancer and many people who have smoked for decades do not. My husband, now 56, is trying to stop smoking after having smoked since he was 14. He has recently been diagnosed with the beginnings of emphysema which does have a direct connection to smoking. His father, who died of a heart attack when my husband was only 16, also suffered from emphysema. There is thought to be a genetic component to the disease, also.
