[Mishmash] Can it really be?????

[Hugh Gigante]

Carole:

I'm one of those people who can be subject to socially acceptable discrimination on all fronts (white, male, smoker).

I guess we'll have to wait until they give the illegal aliens a get out of jail free card, and just claim the smoking laws as the one we choose to ignore.

BTW who wants to bet one of the fools now running around Iowa come up with the notion we owe illegl aliens something because of how porly we've treated them.

        well, since i was already old in 2007 - i don't really feel any older today.  i went to my daughter's annual new years eve party last nite.  not as many there as usually because it started snowing and blowing around here in the afternoon and the roads were pretty bad.  (we live a in a very small rural town remember - no one cleans the streets and roads unles we get 6 or more inches it seems - and the country roads are the worst).   we played a game called catch phrase until people started to leave before midnite afraid they wouldn't get home at all.  then we played a game called scene it - about movies.  i was very bad at that one.  

        this morning my friends called to see if i were going to go for coffee and i still had my jammies on - i told them to come over here and watch the parade with me so i had a house full of old women all morning.  i intend not to leave my house today. 

         illinois just implemented a law today to have no smoking in all bars, restaurants, private clubs even and smokers have to be 15 feet from a door outside.   you know, i have been socially unacceptable with my smoking and so have most of my friends.  we have coffee every morning to check up on each other as we all live alone.   if someone isn't there and we didn't know ahead of time it is time to start calling them.  we're really upset about this law but will try it for awhile - if we decide coffee isn't fun anymore we will all congregate at my house.   my non-smoking friends are as unhappy about the law as my smoking friends.  i often wondered how the nazi's were able to just round up all the jews and they all got on the trains and filed into the showers.  i'm beginning to see more and more how that could have happened - we just blindly do whatever our legislators deem right for all of us and most of them are a bunch of hired blowhards.  they even want the citizenry to report on people disobeying this law.  now, didn't the nazi's implement that tattling on your neighbor plan?  ok - i've vented.  happy new year you guys.
