OH MY GOSH! I'm SO sorry. How long do you have to live???? I had no idea you were in such shape. I'm so sorry..........

It is your choice. Chances are your lung looks like the one in the photo. I know mine doesn't.

[cinFLA]

Huh? You lost me. WHICH people........

The one's that vote the politicians in and pass the intiatives.

Before and after throat cancer surgery.

Sorry about your "bad gene" there. I, too, had cancer twice in my life. Two major surgery's. Teams of Doctors both times.

Each time, they ask me if I smoked, and how much. I told them. Each time each team told me that smoking did NOT cause my cancers.

I am really sorry for you plight, but you know........some get it and most don't!

I understand your bitterness........but please..don't try to change the whole world. Please........

Life is a roulette wheel. Many people I knew never smoked and they still died. At least your still alive.

At least till 80. Never had a major illness. You?

I wasn't making light of this. I saw THIS picture before I saw the previous post with your pictures. Sorry. I didn't mean to sound like an ignorant b*tch.

Everyone dies. ?????

Not if Mrleroy gets his way! I was responding to MrLeroy who posts pro-drug propaganda while working.

ack! Foiled again! Sorry.........I just got home and am trying to catch up. I guess I had better read what I missed, eh? heh!

[cinFLA]

27 people vote and you say you are finally getting your message to the people! Indeed, a poll asking if the earth was round or flat would get more people voting for 'flat'.

Acutually, MrLeroy pinged me and I responded before reading this thread subject. We had been discussing cocaine legalization issues and his use of his employer's time for posting. Blame MrLeroy for bringing me to this thread.

Oh yes my friend. I told you in a previous post. Two major cancer surgery's, one followed by 5 years of radioactive iodine in total isolation for 5 days every 6 months. The second one 6 months of chemotherapy.

Been there done that. I thank God every day that I am alive. But my life is in His Hands anyway, so all I can do is live each day to it's fullest.

Everyone dies. ?????

LOL! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of people think if they don't smoke, they will live forEVER! WRONG! No one gets out of this world alive.........sorry.....

ahhhhhhh go watch TV. There is no talking to you. You are walking through life with blinders. I have little tolerance for the likes of you.

And everyone has a cross to bear. I guess yours was throat cancer. I am sorry for that. But that was you and I am me. I've been smoking a long time, and if the Good Lord wants me to die from smoking, so be it.

[SheLion]

Where's everybody at..........

[cinFLA]

A lot of people think if they don't smoke, they will live forEVER!

I have never met any adult that thinks he will live forever. But most know that by NOT smoking, they will have a better life, live longer and save some money if they do smoke.

[cinFLA]

There is no talking to you. You are walking through life with blinders. I have little tolerance for the likes of you.

My eyes are open. Smokers that deny the hazards are the ones with blinders.

[cinFLA]

Good for YOU! Can you imagine your life with someone like that? You can't PEE straight enough for some people.

Peeing is a biological neccessity; smoking is a dirty filthy habit. Smoking shows that one has no respect for his body or the comfort of those around them.

[metesky]

He looks fine here, well after.

cinFLA's brain on full-tilt boogie control-freakism.

An alleged brain is a terrible thing to waste...

[Madame Dufarge]

At least your still alive.

Well, stealing oxygen anyway.

I have left instructions to my family and friends that when I'm on my death bed, and if your tedious life extends beyond mine, they are to seek you out and bring you to my bedside so that I may blow smoke in your face.
