Smokers are dumb

Cigarette smoke for a migraine headache...oy

Smoking; Sucking the smoke of dead smoldering bushes into your lungs through a paper tube and paying for it. Mmmmmm thats a great idea

p.s. sometimes I have a smoke when I've had a couple of beers.

yep, smoking is dumb. But, maybe not the smokers.

So, slappy, you still getting the nookie?

I'm now dating the nookie. Things are good.

Does everyone know what time it is?

Time to make the doughnuts?

Pretty much, yes. Nothing's being hidden.

Slappy, have I ever told you that I find you attractive?

Yes, Uncle Stu. About 40 times already. Now put down the absinthe and go to bed.

<shuffles off for bed, leaving a trail of drool behind>

Wait so what happened with stupid friend guy? Did he get over it? (Is there an update someplace that I missed?)

If you missed it, so did I

There was no update anywhere, I never kept posting about it because I wasn't sure for a week or two where it was going.

She told my friend and at first, he got pissed. I called him the next day, then he was fine with it after hearing about it from me. He thought I was just trying to bang her behind his back, and making some big secret out of it. Then in Vegas he said he was totally cool with it, and he knew he has no reason to be upset. Got along with him like nothing happened the whole time, which was great.

The one stupid thing I did was not tell FL chick not to come up two weekends ago. She said she didn't want to talk about it over the phone, and instead of just telling her not to come anyway, I let her. She flew up, then left in a cab about 3 hours later. I felt like sh!t, and didn't handle it right, but it was a weird situation at the time. I did tell her days before she came up I started seeing someone else...figured that would have been enough of a hint.

Other than that, so far so good.

Hey, great!

Good to hear, Slappy - you're handling it all pretty well - and so is everyone else. <all things consdiered>

I agree yet I started smoking when I was 21. It's odd, really. I was so anti-smoking before that. I never allowed anyone to smoke in my home and I was disgusted at people who did smoke. Then, as I was going through my divorce at age 21 (married at 17 and had two small babies) a "friend" suggested I try a cigarette "just to take the edge off."

I was so stressed out, angry and alone with two little kids and after a while I went into rebellion mode and tried a cigarette. Well, one led to another and here I am 20 years later.

I have quit many times, one time for over a year, but always went back to smoking when I was extremely stressed.

I also do not smoke in my home, in restaurants or anywhere in public. It's the shame of being a smoker in this day and age when I should know better. I smoke a pack a day - outside in the garage. I would feel too guilty subjecting my family (or even my pets) to my second-hand smoke.

I felt guilty when Dana Reeve died of lung cancer when she had never smoked a cigarette in her life. Now I'm going to try quitting again with Zyban and the patch. Wish me luck!

jeez, this all makes me want to light up one.... and i'm gonna. i have to keep writing a paper, it's as good an excuse as any to take a break..

I'd say masturbating is a better stress relief than smoking.

well, stepping outside for a cigarette is much less looked down upon in a public library, but it is a worthwhile idea, slappy. to each his own, to each his own.
