She smoked a cigarette!?
They should have just shot her in the face with an elephant gun.
If that is not a grevious crime i don’t know what is.

Her grievous crime was running a fake cancer charity.

She should have been shot to begin with.

Instead, she was given a second chance: go to rehab and abide by the rehab center's rules.

She broke them and she deserves whatever she gets.

Her smoking or not isn't really important, except in the sense that they got her on that one, clean and fair, sorta like the tax avoidance for Capone.

Her big scam was the 'cancer cure'.

I'd pull the handle for that one myself, assuming she was lawfully convicted.

I despise these scammers.

I've been better. Who hasn't?

The ONC people forgot my anti-nausea meds last Friday afternoon, so I didn't actually get them until Tuesday and Wed of this week.

All weekend after chemo treatment and no anti-nausea meds.

So yep..I've had better times. It's tough slogging it out that way, and still making sure that I gain a little weight.

Sorry to hear that. I was caught two days without the meds. I tried everything from lemon candy to Tums. No dice. Yeah it stinks. Remember taking a pillow and blanket to the door of the bathroom. Knew I was heading back there:)

It took another 48 hours to get back on regimen after getting the meds.

I didn't allow myself to barf. I got caught off-guard one time and did. It never happened again.

It really, really hurt to control that.

But no excuses for me.

I never allowed my airmen an excuse. I don't get one either. Suck it up and move on.

I can't afford to lose weight or get dehydrated. I don't weigh nearly enough now.
