Smoking vs Alcohol

What is the worst addiction ?

I get into very heated arguments on that topic.

Have you ever known anyone to kill others because he has been on the fags ?

Crash the car because they are smoking ?

Lose their Job, Wife, family and Home because they smoke ?

BUT ! Put drink into the equation and you have a whole new ball game

If I have to be addicted then please let it be nicotine and not alcohol.

Preferably neither of them.

Linda, no I did not send the email to Stephen.

My dear Papa always told me 3 subjects you do not discuss in Mixed Company.

Politics
Sex
Religion

If one of you wants to send it on to Stephen, please do.

But, I'm shy Mary Ellen, I'm shy.
lol

Maddie,

Are you saying I'm Mixed Up ? ROFL

Now you have left me hanging on a limb wondering what it's all about.

evening everyone

Woke up this morning with sore head but that went away while I was mucking out the horse, funny how that clears the head lol. Got washing out as it was a sunny day and pottered around stable yard doing little jobs like sorting out the winter rugs for cleaning and repair.

I've never smoked, made me cough but my mum and dad did and my sisters and brother. Dad gave up when mum had a heart bypass, only my older sister smokes now.

Maddie I've just read your email, so funny

Yvonne,

Maybe that's why they are called 'Coffin Nails'

Well folks,

Time to wrap my leg up in a Poly Bag and head for the shower.

Night all.

stephen i love this one

Smoking vs Alcohol

one dos your liver and one dos the kidney think thats right


now im a non drinker and i hate people drunk around me

people moan thay dont want to be in the same room as smokers
ok fare enuth smoker smell of smoke

well me i dont want to walk in a pub and it smells of stall beer
and peolpe fulling all over the place
o and drinkers do smell of alcol to a non drinker just like a smoker smells to a non smoker

drinking and smoking both kill so whats the diffrence not a lot


my reson for wanting to give up is not cos i dont want to smoke any more
its becouse i dont want to pay over £7 for a packet of 20



if you smoke and drink then you must dubble smell LOL

Morning friendlies,
Hope everyone is well this morning. Dull and overcast here but the sun should be out later.
Sally I agree with you about the smoking ban in public places. I used to hate it when eating out if someone at the next table was smoking and it drifted my way and I'm a smoker. Its so nice to eat out now and not have to deal with that.
I have seen firsthand the damage alcohol can do, not just to the drinker but to the whole family and it is devastating. Whilst smoking is a disgusting habit I have never seen or heard of a smoker beating a spouse or becoming violent after a ciggy. Maybe alcohol should be banned in streets and parks etc as an early morning walk through towns, and parks is a minefield of bottles and cans not to mention puddles of vomit.

Must dash, washing to put out and then a bacon butty for breakfast.

It's 'Hopalong Stephen' logging in.

I was told by a friend that it was 'Mind over Matter' I didn't need crutches. It was just a figment of my imagination.

So I took him at his word.

Focussed my mind.

I threw away the right crutch..............so far so good.

I threw away the left crutch.................and fell on my ar*e.

Ah well !

I don't mind so what does it matter.

Morning all.

The sun is already splitting the Heavens. Gonna be another cracking day here again.

Did all you lovely women go out and wash your face in the May-Day dew ?

Catch you later.

Morning all
Slept well last nigt. Already have the washing doing the rounds before I hang it out on this beautiful May Day.
The sun is shining
Shows up where more cleaning needs to be done, oh well.
Hubby has made my morning tea so I'm set up for the day.

See you all later

Stephen try hanging on to the walls

Linda :o) XxX

morning Catherine. Stephen and all the others that may join in. this morning.

It is a beautiful day here at the moment a clear blue sky. but we have been told we will get thunder. so I will not be a happy bunny.

Stephen sorry about your leg. hope your soon be able to run. but dont try that till you walk without crutches.
At least you have a good excuse to the Mrs to take a rest while she does the hard stuff. like tossing the caber.

My husband was a" Mind over matter type " he was always on about that. but it never worked when he was ill. Lol

Rita

Morning All,

Nice to see you all back !!

Well I'm not giving up my Alcohol...LOL.. its the only vice I got left !

When I asked my Dad did he ever think he would live until 96yrs he said its the whisky and no sugar that's kept him going, and my mother used to make him smoke a cigar every Christmas day because she loved the smell of them , that's the only time he ever smoked.to this day he has a whisky & ginger every night & maybe one in the afternoon because I always notice a glass along side the coffee table next to his chair , I know he buys a bottle a week because we all take in turns to take him to Asd* its got to be a good brand . Top of his shopping list !!!


Not sure what to do today as its overcast here.....

Got up too late for Church....


Maddie Glad I don't play Golf I'd get a chill then flu.



.

Good morning all.

Lovely morning, already walked the dog and got the papers.

Lots of lovely Wedding Photos in all the newsrags.

Going to work for a few hours today. So a late dinner when I come in.

I have managed two chapters of my Paul O'Grady book, so looking forward to a few more tomorrow. Very funny, very cruel. lol

See you later.

Morning everyone,
It's cloudy down here and it tried to rain.
I've nothing planned except a bit of reading, watching TV.
I'm trying not to think about Tuesday!

Pat ...

What's happening on Tuesday ?

Marilyn
Pat has to go back to work after 11 days off over Easter, Wedding and May Day Bank Holidays.

Just in from a bit more potting up and tidying. Not easy as it very windy, but the sun is shinning yet again. Wonder if we have the tail end of the Tornados from America??

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone.
Have to do dinner before hubby goes off to work

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Linda....I thought Pat was going to have a catastrophe..!! LOL

Glad its only work that she's going back too ....Pat how much longer do you have to work for ?

Shelly.....8 more sleeps !!

Yes Linda It's back to work after 11 days off.
Unfortunately I'm one of those who'll have to work until I'mm 66- that's unless the government put the retirement age up again! I've got 12 years to go. However when I started work all those many moons ago the retirement age for women was 60!
At least I've got my God daughter's wedding to look forward to on Saturday.
