What do we

We are heading to south Florida in a couple weeks, I'm ready to skip out a town for awhile myself

ya, we actually have gates and signs to keep out the public

i could use a trip... gotta fix the vans shock issues first... one thing at a time i guess.... weather warming, so, good times to come....

yeah, sometimes im cleaning around the lot, i find cig butts around the pumps.... that gets me....

Sunday a guy came walking towards me ... had a cig and i was at the pumps so i took his arm and motioned that we move away.... i told him the cig was kinda a prob.... he knocked the cherry to the cement and tossed the butt down....

i told him that wasnt a very good way to put the cig out... he asked me where the labor ready was...

i pointed him down the street, and he started walking away, so did i... then, i heard him say something i couldnt understand cause the wind started blowing just then, so i started walking back to him and he was asking me if i had a problem with him...

i said 'no', i just have a prob with cigs near the pumps....

he kept looking at me like it was personal, i kept looking at him like i didnt want cigs around the pumps.....

he turned and started going towards labor ready....

yay.... i wonder if he got the message?

we have a big sign on the tank where the forklift drivers fill the propane tank on the lift, NO SMOKING, one day I was walking by and noticed about 100 butts next to the tank .......... they don't do that anymore, LOL

isnt it funny how people dont read 'signs'?

ya, I never get why people need to smoke every second anyway

well coral... smoking is kinda good topic really... i should cut down myself... get out more... get more exercise.....

probably going to do more of that soon... will be fun i think : )

coral, for those of us who are hard core cigarette addicts, all we really want to do is smoke. Every second of everyday until we're dead.

LOL, I don't have any problem with people who smoke, I used to smoke weed everyday, when I got up that was the first thing I did before coffee ....... I actually went a long period without it, then slipped a little recently, most of my side of the family (mother, father cousins etc) smoke it, and I have been around smokers my whole life

so no judgment here

I just never seen the point of smokin, if it didn't get me buzzed, I try not to smoke it though for obvious reasons and try to avoid being around it, but if I am hangin out with people that do, its hard not to take a few hits socialy ........... I quess I just need to try harder, I didn't go get a bag or nothin but, was at a little party and got a buzz, while listening to, Copper Head Road, my favorite song

My dad was that way until he lost his right lung to lung cancer, and luckily has been in remission of cancer for a bunch of years now...

ok... i dont know if im ready for a convo on cancer myself.. for one thing, its my sun sign... but, i know that not where this was going....

coral said something about smoking marijuana..... i have some friends who do... they're good people....

marijuana is legal in my home state for medical purposes... you get a permit and grow your own... not that i have or anything...

in Denver, the city itself, not the outlying communities, a law was passed allowing personal possession up to one ounce of marijuana..... its hard to support because Fed laws still have precedence....

as for tobacco... well.... i found some non tobacco cigs and gave them a try... taste and smell great, especially with a cup of hot mint tea....

alright.. is tea manly? oh well..... take care guys...

half ounce or less here is just a misdemeanor, as personal possesion, no court or nothin, just send in the ticket and payment like a traffic violation

similar here..... they figure is reduces several 'outbursts' known to be associated with alcohol.... imo, good point.....

I guess I just lost the desire one day to smoke it as a habit and quit, but I never say I'll never do something again ........ heck, I just dont like the habit part of it, as I said before its hard not to, when its around at a social gathering, with good people

well gotta go to the mall with the wife and kids now

anyone got anything planned for the weekend ?

I'm absolutely terrified of getting cancer. I worry about it constantly. So you'd think that would be enough to get me to quit smoking, right? Nope. I've tried many times and I keep going back.

They really need rehab for smoking. Complete lockdown in an institution for 17 days or whatever. I would totally sign up.

i would join you Cy....

Interesting update on this. For kicks I searched for such a program and there are two in Minnesota (where I happen to live). One of them is at the Mayo clinic in Rochester. It's an 8 day inpatient rehab program for smokers. They're boasting a high success rate and while I'm not loving the idea of being locked in rehab, this could be exactly what I need. I've filled out the preliminary paper work to see if my insurance will share the bill (the only way I could afford to go to the five thousand dollar program).

thats great news Cy... i know you can do it and i'll bet there's a return of lost energy (although you already seem pretty energetic to me)

and really... if i was there... i'd join you

Good for you Cy ...... acceptance is always the first step
