> > > > Gee, that's somewhat peculiar, About a year ago, my younger sister moved up to Anchorage with her boyfriend. I have always wondered why they chose Anchorage. It almost seemed random since neither of them even knew anyone, or had any professional plans there. Funny... I never knew her to be a pot-head (quite the opposite actually), but now that you mention it,... it could... explain (~raises eyebrow~) a few things (~glances right- then left~) about her.

Not that it's. like, taboo or anything to discuss its growing and harvesting in sixth hour with the teacher *right there* and any of the students listening... people, I'm telling you, it really does make you stupid. Or stupider.

> Hey, cigerettes don't always cause you to die a horrible, painful death. A friend of mine smoked three packs a day. Then one day he laid down a cigarette and had a massive heart attack. He never knew what hit him. He was 28. Same thing happened to my eye doctor. He quit smoking the same way, but he was older. 32. And some people will tell you that cigarettes only kill people who are over the hill. I guess I'm a little anti-tobacco. Of all the members of my family who have died in the last 50 years or so, cigaretts got more than half of them, including my parents.
> How"I probably have offended a few people myself"ard

well, I found out what light cigarettes are... they produce less smoke than normal ones, they aren't 'less fattening' or anything. of course, I had to ask one of my friends who smokes....

uni"with all the education we've gotten in this day and age about how it kills you, wouldn't you think they'd know better?"peg
