You forgot banning perfume. Gag. Talk about interferring with the right of
others to enjoy their own space. I've often thought the perfume and
cigarettes should be grouped together.



Precisely!

Perfume is something that your lover should get a subtle whiff of when
he is nuzzling your neck (or elsewhere). It should not be ladled on in
quantities that will make a skunk cry 50 feet downwind.

That's what the $250 cleaning fee is for, fumigating or something,
although $250 sounds excessive.

To do the job right they would have to remove and wash the drapes
and all the bedding, and have the carpet steamed. That takes
the room out of service for a day or two. $250 doesn't sound
too far out of line for that. Not that I think they'd actually
do all that, but they should.

Trying to figure out how to wipe the smirk off my face. OTOH, the
Republikans may have screwed up in reverse. If the Dems can't figure
out how to fix twelve years of Republikan malfeasance and misfeasance
before the next election cycle, they're going to look like toothless
tigers. Unfair, to be sure, but the American voting public is a fickle
brat.


Lucky you--Ahhhnold for another term. (You DO have term limits, I
hope?) I can't believe the Dems couldn't field a candidate to beat
him. ICK.

The last car I rented was supposed to be smoke free, but someone
smoked in that car. Nothing like a car I rented once, it was
smothering, the stench. Car only had about 40,000 miles on it, I have
no idea how you could get something to be so saturated with a smell.
I grew up in a smoking household, it's not like I faint at a whiff of
smoke, the car was so bad, you couldn't drive with the windows closed.


It wasn't a Jaguar XJ6 by any chance? I rented a 2003 from Hertz and it
only had 300 miles on it. My best friend and myself California road tripped
in it, smoking (in violation of the rental agreement) in it for 7 days. I
turned it in with 2,300 miles on it. They must've had a fit! Didn't cost me
a penalty fee and it was the best road trip of all time! It probably still
smells of cigarettes. Me bad.

What do you call the Secretary of State, and the other
cabinet Secretaries? Those come in line after the Speaker.

No, they come after the President Pro Tem of the Senate, who follows
the Speaker.

Staying out of the way.

I went to the local diner after voting (as usual) and had the
mile-high stack-o-pancakes and the bottomless cup of coffee. De-caf.

A lot of political faces have changed in Pennsylvania. Even I crossed
party lines for the first time in ages.

I am from PA, understand the election was mostly an anti-Bush referendum
but I think it was a real mistake to elect the "I've never had a real
job and never performed/worked at all of the political offices I have
held and don't forget my father was governor guy.."

But, on consideration, a rubber tree, a '53 Packard hood
ornament, or a 2003 calendar with April and July missing
would still be better than Santorum. If nature abhors a
vacuum, how did he ever get elected in the first place?

Speaking of vacuums, George Allen being defeated made my
homemade onion soup taste 38% better.

If that is official I will rejoice. I lived in VA during his term as
governor.

LOL!!!

I never realized how bad cigarettes smelled until I gave them up! I can
smell smoke from a considerable distance now and it smells noxious!!!

I have to say that I find the lingering smell from smokers around
the exits of buildings worse that the smoke. I have smoked in
the past and would agree that a lot of smoking in an enclosed
space gets a little noxious. A little smoke doesn't bother me.
Some tobaccos smell better than others and every once in a while
I catch a whiff that makes me think about taking it up again, but
then I shake my head and realize how dumb that would be. I just
don't get worked up about it.

The thing about me and tobacco smoke is that even when I am
assaulted by the smell of a person who has just sucked back a
fast cigarette or a room thick with smoke, I am quickly
desensitized to it. Perfume, OTOH, just gets worse and worse.

Now if you really want to ban something, ban subwoofers in cars.

Smoke free since 9/1/04

I had quit for 17 years. I went on a t 2 week trip to Europe with
my brothers and their wives, all smokers, and came back with the
habit. On New Years day this year I was going to go to the store
for cigarettes but decided that, being Jan. 1 it might be a good
day to quit. So I did. I haven't had one, haven't had cravings,
just up and quit.

I don't even like to walk into department stores where they have
the perfume counters right there. A few years ago I bought the
perfect surprise gift for my wife, a small bottle of perfume.
Knowing how I feel about perfume it was the last thing she
expected from me. However, there was on condition .... she was
not to wear it around me.

Isn't that like giving your wife a sexy negligee that she is not to wear
around you?

Not at all. Sexy lingerie is something I get to play with too.
It is bound to attract me. Perfume repels me.

Maybe it's just allergies.

For me, it is asthma. Being around someone that has lavishly doused
themselves with perfume is enough to trigger my asthma. Not fun not
being able to breathe, believe me. This also includes things like
aftershave lotion if it has been used with a heavy hand.

You don't get it. Perfume is, like a sexy negligee, something that a
woman wears to make herself more attractive to men. Perhaps you are very
open-minded, but I don't see the point of giving your wife perfume that
you won't enjoy.
