Our daughter claimed that after we kept her Golden for a week, his fur smelled like an ashtray.

That doesn't mean they won't bring him back when they go on vacation again. (ha)

I just found out that a friend of 30 years--a woman I thought quit smoking 10 years ago--never quit.

She just doesn't tell anybody, but she knows I don't care.

I don't smoke, but I love smokers. Their sins are right there in the air and so innocent and sweet.

I think the thing to worry about is the fact that "lying" has become such an accepted thing!! Lying is a terrible character flaw, worse than smoking(since its one of the big ten!) I am an adult, I enjoy smoking, I am honest enough with myself to admit that I don't WANT to quit, so I won't. When my kids say "you should stop mom", because this is what they were told to do in school, I tell them that I am an adult, I am doing nothing illegal and I don't let children make my decisions for me, as for secondhand smoke I pointed out that if it were as dangerous as the "experts" say then no one from the "babyboom" would still be alive. in the 1950's with 75 percent of the population smoking and pregnant women smoking packs a day, the babyboomer generation should have been born retarded and died in their twenties and even the ones that escaped the afore mentioned landmines shouldn't have had the health or intelligence to actually go to college, invent computers, all modern technology, etc...

If you want to smoke, smoke, if you don't , don't....there are many many more critical issues to spend our time, attention and money on!
