Here Come Health Care Rationing

He...... failed miserably............

And for awhile I was bitching and saying little snide things about it.. but one morning I woke up.. decided that it must be hell to be that addicted to something that you just keep going back to it knowing it will kill you..... so I told him this.

" I am not going to mention or say anymore about your smoking. It's your lungs and your life. If you want to fill them with black shit until you die..then that's your call. All I ask is this.. " Don't stink and smell like smoke. Use lots of cologne all day long.. brush your teeth after each cigarette and make sure your life insurance is paid up.. All those things said.. Knock yourself out and enjoy each puff!"

I know, I know.......... I'm a hard cruel bitch..  

You are such a ray of sunshine in his life!

Took 70 days in the hospital and a constant morphine drip to get me to quit!  Sure glad I did though, I didn't remember how good food could taste or how really nasty I smelled to my wife and kid..

I can breath, my lungs are clear, my heart is strong, I've got a fat ass and limp a bit...Life is Good!

You quit smoking, now to quit morphine!!! 

I can't measure all of my scars. After my bypass (4 of 'em!) my Doctor told me I was the Franken-patient, as they couldn't use some of the veins they pulled and had to go digging elsewhere. I've got scars on 3 out of 4 limbs.

Never smoked, other than the experimentation in HS, a pipe to look studly in college, Antony y Cleopatra's cut in half after the Spaghetti Westerns came out - all of which smoking episodes lasted at most 4 weeks each. I did lose my Dad and younger sister to lung cancer though.

As for the fat ass, well, I have a bike in the garage I am going to ride any day now . . . .

When it comes down to it, just remember you can't live forever, no matter how hard you try.   Rationed health care, addict or clean, rich or poor, every one in the ground or burnt to ashes is equal.  Its all about the quality and company you live it in.

The coolest.   Ain't nothing wrong about taking it easy, shooting pool, drinking single barrel Tennessee whiskey, and smoking some good pipe tabbacy along with a good Nicaraguan cigar.

Naw, life is a hard, cruel bitch.  You just love him and want his ass around for awhile.

I almost lit up a cigar while I was reading in front of a certain house and waiting ... Sure am glad I didn't
