I told her that all the yelling, screaming, talking, cajoling, etc., ain't gonna make a bit of difference. A smoker smokes until he or she decides to stop. Nothing that anybody says makes any difference. She said to yell for her anyway.
I've done my bit.
Smiling. She sounds GOOD.
Yeah, that's what everyone says about smokers. There will soon be more than yelling going on here. And we'll see what's more important. Smoking kills people, especially those who have already had a heart attack or stroke. An inconvenient truth. Sorry, but I'm angry about it. My failing, I suppose. But thanks to Diane anyway for the yelling. I'm glad to hear she can.
Thanks Osso for letting us know to wait to call. We'll wait until it's a better time.
Connecting is surely appreciated, but the gurl is trying to breathe. Not many hours ago she was trying to just juggle a phone at all. Let us give her room.
I know what you mean, Osso. At one time, I had 5 calls in an hour while in the hospital. I loved every one of them, in a way, but it really got hectic, especially when one of the nurses was trying to do one of those nasty little procedures. They were somewhat prone to forget what they were doing if they left the room before finished.
Still, I would just love to give her a call. Not knowing the hospital, amongst other reasons, I won't.

Bernie!
Stop smoking on the balcony NOW!
There, that showed him. I just hope I didn't scare him into another heart attack.

It was a stroke.
Me, now, you gave a heart attack.
A cholera on you!
Mmmmm- Maybe dys can be discouraged from smoking another way. If Diane says that the smoke made her nauseous, I think that would be more compelling for dys than if she yelled at him.
Any news?????
(I suspect only Diane gets to yell at Dys...I think we're meant to be nice to him...)
If we are not nice to him,
diane yells at us..
BE. NICE.
Ooooooooooommmmmmmmmm.
That was for Diane.
Ooooooooommmmmmmmmmm.
That is for all women who love men who smoke.
11 o's vs 9 o's.
10 m's vs. 11 m's.
I'm not sure what that means: either Mrs Walter has been just discriminated or .... something else.
Walter--
You're soul is short of poetic apprehension right now. You and Mrs. W. really need that getaway.
Mumpad said Hmmmph.
Not sure what exactly that means.
Don't come to this forum very often so I'm late in getting the news. Very glad to hear that the Lady Diane is doing better. I will be lighting a candle and saying a prayer to the patron saint of gall bladder attacks, St. Dyspepsia of Sienna, to insure a speedy recovery.
My wife and I enjoyed a delightful phone talk with the lady Diane this morning. It seems that the end of her suffering has put her in great spirits. And Dys' continuing suffering, because of her absence, is enhancing his character (he used to be such a wus). The consequence of all this has been positive all around. Now let's see what the hospital bill is like.

Opportunities for character-building like a rich autumn harvest.
Dys, we love you anyway.
I'll leave off the discussion of smoking and the men and women who do it on Lady Diane's thread. Sorry, I'm peavish for several reasons.
Thanks Thomas.
I thought she was referring to Dys.
You're not easy to tell apart....
Dys is the one wearing the Stetson.
