"Can you take me high enough, to fly me over yesterday? Can you take me high me high enough? It's never over. Yesterday's just a memory." Damn Yankees
It wasn't the lung cancer that scared me because we all have to die from something. It wasn't the bad breath or plaque that did me in, I chew plenty of gum and brush three times a day. It wasn't even the early aging process that made me quiver, wrinkles don't show up in Polish ethinicity until about 45. This is what did for me and yes no matter what it takes I'm quitting!!!
"While most people recognize many adverse health hazards of tobacco smoking, they remain largely unaware of its link with blindness," writes Simon P. Kelly, MD, an ophthalmic surgeon with Bolton Hospitals in Great Britain. His editorial appears in this week's British Medical Journal.
I'm back!!! Now, I've been meaning to do this for a while so bare with me. I'll finish my story a little later. In Iraq it became apparent to me that I do have an extensive vocabulary but cannot pronounce the words as their spoken origin. Go figure!!! Thanks, Lisa for pointing this out to me. So, I've been toying with the idea to develope my own dictionary per say.
Without further a do

i love your mispronunciations! lol
that's good that you're going to quit smoking... practically everyone in my family does and many [including my dad] have suffered heart attacks and even worse because of their bad habits... i'm glad you're preventing that even if it's only because of the blindness... good for you!
