Great! Now I'm hungry again.
So...no more perfume, either? Some people are allergic to perfume, you know.
I've never smoked; but I worry about the encroachment of freedoms.
Banning the use of laws to discourage an unhealthy habit is likewise an encroachment of freedoms.
That idea doesn't bother you?
Geocities (non-subscription) prevents the linking of images on their servers. Perhaps SheLion isn't aware that we cannot see the images she posted links to, as they may still appear from her cache to her own browser, but not ours.
Not at all. If people are going to be irresponsible then members of society have a right to discourage them.
Now,now,She,remember my son is with NYPD---though they probably have more to do in NYC than harass smokers----at least I hope so.
LAWS are not "discouragement"--but "INFORCEMENT."
I love ordering lobsters from that site.
It is funny that you said that.
I saw a thread with NEA minutes posted this morning. They had a section talking about banning perfume.
I will check 'my comments' to find it and ping you there.
I believe she corrected the image issues AND explained herself here:

Found it and pinged you.
That's all they have to do. "This is a no smoking beach area. Smokers will be removed." That's all they are required to do.
Then smokers can decide if they still want to set up there or go on to another beach.
Sorry, I meant it's not nice for your ISP to not give you enough bandwidth.
Oh! ~whew! LOL!
Well, I have sites on Tripod and Geo Cities. The images I load on those two sites won't allow me to use them on Free Republic.
So I bought another site "Host File." They allow remote loading. That is where I store all my images for Free Republic. But I posted this on my Maine Smokers Rights this morning and forgot that I loaded the pictures at Geo. So, of course, when I posted this as a thread here, the pictures didn't show up.
I was embarrassed.
Oh common.
I've been apart of the Internet since 1994. I gave my explanation as to why the images didn't appear when I first posted this thread.
I had been working out of Geo Cities all morning and then slapped this onto Free Republic before I remembered that I had to load the pictures in Host File so they would show up here.
How many other times have you read my threads and my images didn't show up? Not very often!
Oh I would certainly think so, Mears. I don't think Winthrop is all that big. How many cops do they have there anyway? 4???
Thank you! And I did it again! ~whew!
Madame Dufarge and I lived at the beach for twenty-eight years. Broken glass was 100 times the threat cigarettes were.
I was hoping you would weigh in, metesky! Broken glass on the beaches. Very true!!!
Smokers are being harrassed all over the place by all kinds of people in authority. They just can't leave us alone!
