Way to go, Dexter. It is hard to keep your quit when someone close to you still smokes. Hopefully your success will inspire your wife down the road.

Hi, everybody. This is the strangest thing. I was driving to work this morning, chewing on my coffee straw & stopped at a light. The driver in front of me was smoking & I could see the clouds of smoke in his car when he exhaled. I could also se it puffing out his open window (can't believe I used to kid myself that opening the car window made my car & me less smelly). Anyway, my windows were closed & there is no way I could have smelled the smoke. BUT I DID, & it made me gag & choke & sneeze. My nose was running, my eyes were streaming & I thought I was going to throw up in my own lap. I had to go way slow when the light changed to let him get far ahead of me. Everybody behind me was honking & mad at me but I didn't care, I wouldn't have been able to see to drive if I'd stayed close to him. I am such a non-smoker & I so love it!

You're right, golferman. There is no GOOD reason to smoke, ever. I do think though that some reasons are more understandable than others & Cuddles' was definitely more of a reason than mine. Onward

I'm with you Lainey, miserable weather here too (supposed to SNOW tonight) & it's hard to stay positive. Do the no smokey hokey pokey with me, see if that helps.
