Nicotine and its many forms
So I am down to a morning cigarette and a few pipes throughout the day, or a cigar if I am lucky. Apparently the withdrawal symptoms are like a cold, which explains the layer of snot on the roof of my mouth.
Getting the newsletter off the ground has hit a financial snag, damn printer wants nearly twenty dollars to make a production run and one of the contacts is being balky. In general, Deb has mentioned that she is sorry for not being more supportive of the process.
I need to shower and shave, but lack the interest to do so. Too damned many people in the house and not enough willing to put Marxism into practice.
Gonna try to swig more coffee and burn off the residue of nearly twenty years of cigarettes.

I can explain that "cold" for ya. Might help you keep off them. In your airways there are tiny little hairs that constantly beat, pushing all the crap out of your lungs that is sitting over them in a mucus. Kind of like the rollers in a conveyer belt. Smoking deadens these hairs. When you stop (for as little as a night's sleep even) they wake up and begin to push all the crap that has built up while they were down. This is why smoker's get a smoker's hack in the morning and why when you quit you feel like you are bringing up tons of crap. That crap was sitting in your lungs!

I think you’re wrong. The concept of male as universal has been around much longer.A: If by “male as universal,” you mean using male pronouns (“he,” “him,” and “his”) for women as well as men, the idea did indeed begin in the 18th century.Before then – for two centuries, in fact – it was considered…See More
Andrew Bennett posted a discussionThe death of neck ties?
I heard that according to researches that the neck tie is expected to become obsolete in the next few decades. Because more and more men are dressing more casually these days thanks to Facebook and google where the CEO shows up in jeans and a hoodie. So is the neck tie really becoming obsolete or are men just not caring about his personal appearance?Please feel free to give your taken on this.See More
