I love that mashup, because the guy with the instant vanilla rouge represents just about every smarmy jerk I can think of including the snide and arrogant medium-sized dollop of eyegorp named Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan. I’d never heard of the smug douchebag until his interview with Andrew Breitbart.
Meanwhile, Mr. P.S.P-M can take his carpetbagging anti-American propaganda-pimping style of “journalism” back to Oceania and stuff it up his CNN.

You’ve already done the hardest part of giving up smoking. I started really young and spent years stopping and starting back. What seemed to work best for me is the idea that all I had to do was make it to the next day. Being told I could NEVER do anything again was just too much to deal with. So, I just shortened my time frame to make it do-able.

I can never smoke again. That has been what I was told. After I heal from the triple by-pass they are going to see what is going on with my legs…I have blocked arteries in both legs. But they wanted to make sure the heart was okay first.

Another by-pass? Dammit. Well all I can say is when I do something I don’t do it half-ass I go all the way with it.
/doc was surprised I’m not in pain with my legs but I’m not. The only problem I have is that one leg goes to sleep way too easy and is hard to wake up.

@ yenta-fada:
Indeed. I probably would’ve had problems but not as bad if I hadn’t smoked. Live and learn. I was showing no signs either EKG, blood-work, heart imaging all didn’t show that all my arteries were blocked just about. I’m lucky to be alive. All I had was two spells. Not heart attacks (a mild one of those would have killed me)just spells. And many thanks to {{Calo}} for telling me to get to the doc ASAP. Because I just thought it was some type of muscule spasm. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I had heart problems. I didn’t even have high blood pressure. No signs other than those two spells.
@ Lily:
Smoking side effects hit women quicker than it does men.
I can;t recall the studies I have read on the subject, and am too tired to research it tonight.
But, we are both victims of smoking induced heart disease at a relatively early age.
I only hope I am on the right track to reverse the damage I caused.
@ Calo:
Calo, ya done good with Lily! Now we all have the pleasure of Lily’s company again.
@ yenta-fada:
Good Lord, there is still an entire thread going on from last night!
Damn Quebecians.
Is that a word?
Maybe “hispandering” was the exact wrong thing to do to attract Hispanic voters. It certainly explains the conundrum that every time Republicans push for amnesty their support among Hispanics drops.
@ Calo:
I think we are both very, very lucky because we are young and we are going to recover well. You are ahead of me and younger than me so I think you are going to be great. Who would’ve thunk it huh? No study needs to be shown…I think you and I are the proof of that study. Doc also said heart problems manifest differently in women than in men. One thing I am looking forward to is more energy. I had no idea how little energy I had. Plus I have bad bones on top of everything else! But I really do need to give you many thanks for making me take that first spell seriously. I did go to doc ASAP. If it hadn’t been for you showing concern at the symptoms I would have ignored that spell and blown it off as just stress. Thanks Calo..I owe you my life.

Yeah my surgeon really did well…he said everything went as planned and was surprised that it did because I wasn’t going to be easy he said. But everything went as planned. When I got home I let it hit me about a week after I got home. The first week home I was in and out of it. Yes God was very good to me. Now you are going to make me cry! But good tears…not sad ones!

All of November I was going through tests because I had a spell at the beginning of November..the tests didn’t show anything serious …maybe a stent if I failed the stress test. It wasn’t until they went in with the cath that they saw how badly blocked my arteries were. Once they saw that held hostage at hospital until the doc could do surgery.
Moe Katz wrote:
No I was a smoker…not anymore.
Since surgery I haven’t smoked one cigarette.

You were wise enough to at least get the tests done, and a stress test & cath. I just kept on going to work the whole week. Before I left home for Christmas, my chest hurt so badly I was lying on the floor in the garage. Once the pain went away, I got up, got in the car, and hit the highway.
Mrs should have given me a major ‘Gibbs Smack’.

I smoked and blocked out part of my heart’s electrical system sending m=e into heart failure, no clogged arteries.
Smoking is a killer, shoot me.
@ mfhorn:
Did you have a heart attack? Or were they just spells? I know those spells…Calo who is a retired cardio nurse told me to go to doc ASAP. So I heeded what she said. I thought it was just stress. I would have ignored it…I had another spell and then the tests went into hyper-speed.
@ Calo:
Might as well shoot me too! I was a heavy smoker. Not anymore. Live and learn. Boy what a hard lesson it is too huh?

I don’t think so. I’m still having pain in chest (bone is hurting) so if I were smoking any pain would really freak me out. So besides I don’t want to put my husband through this again.

I don’t know …by then I think I will completely haven’t smoked for a while. I don’t see myself wanting open-heart surgery again anytime soon.
@ Calo:
Yeah…I may still want to smoke..but I think I’ll stay smoke-free.
This is the longest I have gone without smoking for a while. I don’t think I’m going to throw this away and start all over again.
Nite everyone!
Hope you all have a good evening and a great day tomorrow!
@ Lily:
@ Lily:
No heart attack, but the surgeon said I could have had a ‘major event’ at any time. He wasn’t happy I’d driven over 100 miles by myself. I could easily have had that ‘event’, and killed someone else along with myself.
A little fatigue, but the week before I’d had chest pain any time I stood for more than about 5 minutes. It kept getting a bit worse each day, until Sat when I was lying there in the garage in pain.
Best of luck to you on the smoking, Lily.
See ya’ll later!

Well, the Brady Bunch has achieved some of their objectives already. Large capacity magazines for semi-auto weapons are no longer available. Checked yesterday at Midway USA for Mini-14 magazines, and they have ZERO in stock. Not just zero 30 or 20 round ones, but zero 10 or even 5 round ones, even from manufacturers of dubious quality. Also checked LuckyGunner.com for ammo (the only thing they sell, essentially.) They have ZERO ammo in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO. Nothing. Not even the $ 1.00 +/round varmint hunting ammo. CDT has some left, but they’ve raised the price about 150 % over what it was just a couple of weeks ago. I have never seen anything like this before; not in the run-up/aftermath of the last two elections or even the run-up to the old AWB.
This is going to get ugly…
Er, “CTD”, not “CDT.” Need more coffee…
Okay, so I bowed to the current panic a little bit. Or not. Just ordered a couple of HKS speed loaders for each revolver (always wanted to try those, and they’re cheap) and two extra magazines (only 7 round capacity, Moe!) for the LC9. I only have 3 of those currently, and I consider 5 a minimum for magazines for any given weapon. Not really panic buying, as all that stuff is in stock at normal or sales prices, no problem.
