    Smoking

    Here's a good general rule of thumb. If it used to be inside your body, then I don't want to be forced to accept it inside mine. One exception - a medical emergency and I'll die if I don't get a transfusion and/or a body part AND I'm unconscious and unable to give consent. Otherwise -- uh-uh.

    Smoking

    I think that smoking presents a unique problem. Specifically, it is the only product that comes to mind that requires the partial use of a noxious product that was INSIDE THE BODY OF ANOTHER PERSON, simply because of your proximity to that person. It is for this reason that I think that smoking in public places should be banned, outright. However, my position is that whatever a person wants to do on his own property is his business and no one else's - just as long as his smoking doesn't adversely affect anyone else.
  4. Zoo, he probably wanted a drag off your cig!
  5. I probably didn't. But then, I'm no fun anymore, they say!
  6. Me, too, Juleebella! Not foot surgery, though - wrist surgery. I've been mentally walking through how I'm going to function with just the use of one hand for 6 - 8 weeks (doesn't that seem like a long time?). I may have to get foot surgery done, too, for the same reason as you. I just don't want to do those at the same time. I'll be curious to know how yours goes. I know that it's going to be difficult on you. But some things, you just gotta do, you know? The alternative is to let everything just go all to hell!
  7. Apparently , someone cares a heck of a lot more about this narrow issue than I do, which is -- not at all. I'd encourage the OP to get a good night's sleep and possibly to sleep it off.
  8. I guess everyone has his or her motivation for being here. I enjoy talking to people, bouncing ideas, participating in topical discussions -- But I don't know that this is my place to come for "fun". Maybe when I was younger, like you, lowrider ----- I enjoyed having a chuckle at the expense of others or at pushing the limits of the rules of a site like PCOM. Nowadays, I just don't have that inclination. Maybe I'm missing something. I've found some things here that were a little humorous, but "funny as hell" -- I'm just not that easily amused, I guess. It's the getting older thing
  9. Sounds like the start of something great!
  10. If you start at about 2:30 It explains that she went up to the station to talk to the same guy who asked if she was the one with the "foul mouth". He should have been fired immediately. "It's not our finest hour" my hind end! It was an abuse of the position entrusted to him by the taxpayer.
  11. I listened to it again and it seems to have been the SAME officer. Did you all catch this - that he had NEVER been disciplined before? I sorta think that's the problem!!!
  12. The only people possibly with an ounce of character or principle - the children! Ms. Rowe? She agreed to have the children and to marry MJ in exchange for money . MJ bought the children, essentially. He has no biological link to them - he didn't WANT a biological link to them because he considered himself genetically tainted. The other Jacksons are parasites. Now that they have no host to feed off of, they'll scavenge each other. None of them wants to raise the children! They just want the money. They'll hire somebody to do the child-raising! And that's a good thing.
  13. I got money. I plan on paying the fry-costs in advance. It won't be too much as to be an inconvenience. No other costs, party is optional, as it will be post-me.
  14. My wishes - Cremation, no service. I went to a funeral not too long ago where the officiant did not even know the deceased! He talked in GENERAL terms about this specific individual. No thank you to that! Mrs. Sirius can have a "farewell party" if she likes. I have some fun ideas for party games!
  15. I remember going in to see Buster and him giving me a line about "highway miles vs. city miles". He told me that the car that I was interested in was driven by a salesman who only put "highway miles" on the vehicle (that had 60K on it), so it was still in its prime. When we were discussing my trade-in, I told Buster, "It has 87,000 miles on it -- but those are all highway miles, Mr. Miles" He reminded me that I had owned the car for 3 years and that they were all college student miles - the worst kind! We didn't make the deal. Say it backwards and you have reverse discri
  16. The fact is that nobody's looking and nobody cares. If someone out there won't be friends with me (or whatever) because I don't wear a certain name brand - Those people wouldn't be friends with me anyway. And here's the kicker - Those handbags, those designer dresses worn on the runway - They're still made in Sri Lanka! The designer didn't have anything to do with making the garment or accessory. I was given a sports bag many years ago. It was a gift, as the basketball team's way of saying "thank you " for coaching them. In fact, on the side of the bag, it says, "Coach". Wonder if i
  17. SS -- Aigner was REAL big in rural AL, where the exfromhell was from - And where they pronounced Aigner, not Ahn-Yay, but AGGNER.
  18. As it relates to the example in the article, whether or not the lawnmower was used on the street is not the issue. It wasn't reported that the lawnmower was used on the street, but merely stolen and it was called "motor vehicle theft". I say, "no", the lawnmower is not a motor vehicle, as it pertains to the law - despite the obvious fact that it has an engine and can transport a person.
  19. Yeah, what LPPT said. It\'s like this: Youtube in brackets, then slashyoutube in brackets In between is the youtube number of the video
  20. No. Actually, companies of quality WANT you to let them know when they fail to meet your expectations. When you ask to see the manager, most likely the waitress will ask what the problem is. You can say that the bacon is burned, the pancakes were so old that they were tough, and that the eggs weren't cooked to order. This isn't being picky - these are basic expectations. It may be difficult for you to say anything at first. So try this: Ask to see the manager on your next time out. Tell him how GOOD the server is, if that's the case, or how delicious the meal was, if that's the case. It
  21. When you can get the attention of the waitress, ask her if she can send the manager to your table. When he comes over, explain that the waitress seemed to take your order correctly, but it is not to your liking, due to ____________(whatever the problem is). The manager does this several times a day, so it's not a scene, it's commonplace for him and he/she will handle it so that it's not a scene. But you should never have to pay for items that aren't cooked to your specifications. You just have to let them know. They want to know! And if they don't want to know, then you need to know that.
  22. As an adult, I use 100 percent DEET and apply it several hours before going where there are chiggers. As a young person, I once got into chiggers (and they got into me) at camp one summer in Glynn Co. near the GA coast. When I came home I had 88 chigger bites on my legs and around my waist. I think that some people have gotten chiggers and thought that they were mosquito bites. Mosquito bites usually disappear in a day or so. Chiggers burrow into the skin, feed and die in the festering sore that lasts a week or more. And it itches - A lot! Pretty much, if you go in high grass in the
