Thread Name: Sixty Five Days Without a Cigarette!
Subject: RE: Sixty Five Days Without a Cigarette!
Hmmmmmmm.....No chance of forgetting that I'm a drug addict. Ya see, I was never what might be called a "proud smoker". When the laws started to change, forcing me to go outdoors to smoke, or to tough it out on long plane trips, or to be part of little groups huddled on the periphery of whatever....I never once thought "This is unfair, dammit I know my rights, Nobody's gonna tell me what to do etc...." Surprising I guess, since my views on the ambitious morons who make our laws are well known here.

Nope, it was dumb to start, it was dumber to allow myself to become addicted, and then the dumbness was replaced by weakness. End of story.

I've also noticed that my penchant for jokes and witty rejoiners is missing from this thread. Guess I CAN take some things seriously. (but Roger the S. can handle them for a while!)

How's it goin' Jeri? You can phone anytime you like, if you get that ol' nicotine itch!

Cheers

Rick
