ETA - that said, I wouldn't have a problem with letting my child play at a smoker's house, occasionally. It didn't hurt me that much I guess, and I lived in it, day in, day out.

Agreed.

I wonder if my sensitivity to the smoke is because we have eliminated it so much from our lives? You know, once you get used to something it doesn't bother you? The Boy, too. I swear if we let him go over to his friends for a couple of days in a row he gets really sick. I think it also may be our sinuses are sensitive.

Stay awake. Sometimes that is so hard. As I get my 3rd cup of joe....

Anyone who lives in SoCal and finds cigarette smoke disgusting needs to take a peek at all the SMOG in your air. I mean, really- I have never been to a place more obsessed about individuals smoking and less concerned about something I consider far more insidious. (I no longer smoke, but I fully support smokers rights). I love SoCal, but I could never live there because the pollution wreaks havoc on my allergies. (Plus, the humidity really ****s with my hair).

On another note, we have some very sad kitties in the house tonight. We finally took down the Lurking Tree. We're gonna have to spread around the kitty treats liberally to get through this unscathed.

NA just might have to come up for a visit. Seriously, these cats are just pathetic. First, they laid under the tree while I dismantled it, then they started fighting, then Samwise decided to park it in an American Girl doll box and refuses to come out. Tori gave up and put a blankie on him. For God's sake, we left the Barbie tree up in Tori's room! Isn't that enough?

Tech question:
If one of my tabs is on LoT and the other is on MC, will it say I'm online on both boards at the same time?

Here it says you're searching forums.

Yes. Those are two distinct windows that are open.

I don't trust air I can't see! And I love my air chuncky style anyway.

In fact we even have Air Bars here with flavored air. We wouldn't know how to breath in a fresh air environment.

And we don't have near the humidity of the southern united states, eastern seaboard south of New England, or Florida. The humidity here yesterday was 8% BTW.

I always thought we in SoCal had low humidity, relatively speaking! My stepmom visits from N. Carolina and complains that her skin is cracking while we feel suffocated from the [relative] moisture that occasionally floats by.

*shrugs in confusion*

Oh but on smoking. Weren't all the studies on second-hand smoke based on people who lived their lives indoors with heavy smokers? I remember something like that from high school. I've never tried to be rude about it, but it seems silly when people have walked by, outdoors, near trucks, and have given the fake cough and dirty look to me when I was blowing UP. I've long felt that the anti-smoking battle was just mis-directed anger at the easy target (your smoking neighbor) rather than the unassailable nasty polluter it would take 4 generations to sue successfully for the real damage to your system. Still, quitting is good for me on a personal level.

I'm a non smoker who is sometimes put off by the smell of cigarette smoke. I firmly believe that we have gone way too far in the battle against smoking and smokers.
