25148. thoughtful - 3/4/2009 5:32:24 PM C'mon, Juds....EVERYONE ends up dead. We all die of SOMETHING.
My only point is that smokers smell and many of them are not aware of how much they smell. And if they knew, it might encourage them to quit...just as they found with young women, the knowledge that smoking contributes to their developing wrinkles on their face was a stronger encouragement to quit than was risk of cancer or heart disease.
I presume people who use perfume are aware that they smell of it...otherwise they wouldn't use it.
And yes we do have to smell other peoples' farts but at least as far as we know, they are noncarcinogenic.
But no, if you choose to keep smoking and keep smelling, by all means. Just don't expose me to the hundreds of toxic chemicals your smoke entails.
The worst one was a Brit I met more than 20 yrs ago and I still remember because he so wreaked and was so covered in nicotine that after we shook hands and he departed, I had to go wash the smell off my hand...it was that strong. 25149. magoseph - 3/4/2009 8:12:28 PM Thank you all for answering the smoking question.
Which 2012 Republican contender do you think may win if Obama screws up?
25150. iiibbb - 3/4/2009 9:58:55 PM I'm rooting for Palin... she's crazy enough not to win. 25151. anomie - 3/4/2009 11:10:13 PM Republicans have contenders? 25152. judithathome - 3/4/2009 11:18:54 PM C'mon, Juds....EVERYONE ends up dead. We all die of SOMETHING.
Trust me, I'm very much aware of that fact.
25153. magoseph - 3/5/2009 3:32:26 PM Republicans have contenders?
Ano, I used the word instead of 'candidates' because of the latest big news this week about the mighty Rush. Now look at the site again and tell me for who you're going to root for, please.
I'm rooting for Palin... she's crazy enough not to win.
iiibbb, I'm rooting for Romney because he's religious enough not to win. 25154. anomie - 3/5/2009 6:30:49 PM Palin-Romney...yeah, that's the ticket...yeah. Moose recipes and baptism for dead republicans.
But with our luck, they'll probably come up with another actor, (Ronald and Arnold come to mind), who knows nothing about government. I almost happened in 2008. So, maybe for 2012....Ron Arnold? Maybe he could get Rosanne back too. 25155. anomie - 3/5/2009 6:37:12 PM Darn! I guess that should have been TOM Arnold. No matter. Rosanne would still improve the ticket. 25156. judithathome - 3/5/2009 7:35:25 PM Except Roseanne is yellow dog liberal! 25157. anomie - 3/5/2009 7:51:26 PM Ha! You make my point even better than I thought. What an improvement! 25158. uzmakk - 3/5/2009 8:12:36 PM My assistant, a smoker, tells me that loose cigarette tobacco has not been taxed at anywhere near the rate ciggys have. The tax on loose tobacco is going up 2400%. Apparently there are signs in the smoke shop telling people that this is no joke,this is the real thing.
This I have been told. 25159. robertjayb - 3/5/2009 8:55:56 PM Damn! Am I going to have to give up Bull Durham?
 25160. judithathome - 3/6/2009 2:49:23 AM Anomie, please email me...I think I have your email address but can't locate it on my list! 25166. magoseph - 3/6/2009 11:00:04 AM Welcome, Clay--you'll find your posts here Message # 25161 in thread 147. The Cafe's conversation about smoking is about tobacco, not marijuana. If you're a new poster, please introduce yourself to us.
25167. magoseph - 3/9/2009 1:00:45 AM Spring forward...Fall backward! This year, I have no clock handles to advance. 25168. alistairConnor - 3/9/2009 1:08:29 AM It's another three weeks before l'heure d'été in France. 25169. magoseph - 3/10/2009 9:50:04 AM Happy birthday, goodwinejoe! 25170. judithathome - 3/11/2009 8:09:20 PM And a very Happy Birthday to YOU, Magos! You may be a year older but like fine wine, just keep improving with age.
Is it still too cold out to have a night out on the town in celebration? 25171. magoseph - 3/12/2009 3:39:07 AM Thanks, Judith--yes, weather is vicious--we're getting the end of what's happening now in Minnesota. 25172. magoseph - 3/13/2009 6:11:03 PM Is the Mote Café going to stay open only until your story in Mote Fiction is finished, Ali?
