Sneaking one in

@Barbara: I will eventually answer all today, but let me start with you dear Barb...and then I'll go back to visiting 'cause today I'm so late...anyhoo, before I resume my visiting, I want everyone to know that I smoked for a good 20 years and I've quite 15 years ago, and make no mistake, it was the most pleasurable vice I've ever had and to this day, I miss it....so I sneak around and take photos of the lucky people who are still smoking...I'm no saint, sorry :)
AND WAY to GO Barb, hard ain't it.....I can sooo imagine having that habit again, sigh...;)

@Judy: Smartie pants lol I smoked a long time, finally gave it up 15 years ago, I remember before being pregnant smoking two packs a day, nasty...then my doctor told me that as long as I didn't smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day, it wouldn't go through the placenta, it was difficult but I managed to smoke only one or two, late at night outside on the balcony, eventually gave it up completly, it's not easy, and I don't blame anyone for finding it hard to stop :)

@marianne: Ma chère Marianne, ta passion est extraordinaire, aucun pardon à donner, c'est super que tu peux être si passionnée, moi je trouve ça épatant, et je sais que tu juges l'acte et non la personne, je n'ai jamais pensé autrement...ne t'en faits pas, ce qui me désole par contre, c'est d'apprendre que tu as des problèmes au niveau des poumons, ça j'en suis franchement désolée, un gros bisou, et je répète, tu n'as aucunes excuses à faire à moi ou à nos visiteurs x

@akarui: Tout à fait vrai Olivier, mon pauvre frère qui visitait l'Espagne et qui avait cessé de fumer depuis 3 ans recommenca par inadvertance, c'est à dire, qu'une compagne lui demande de tenir sa cigarette pour quelques instants, et sans même s'en apercevoir, a pris une 'drag' et voilà il fume depuis...

@MontereyJohn: Ha Little sneak....did you also eat all the donuts John? Just leave my coffee alone, ok? ;)

@Cool Daddio: Thanks Jim. I'm a horrible, horrible person, after 15 years of quitting, last year, I tried to start up again, just couldn't get the addiction going, plus the smoke bothered me !
