The Once Again Prince We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortaility, never fully understanding the necessary plan. -- Irving Townsend | ||

Today marks one calendar month since I smoked my last cigarette. With apologies to those who find it self-serving to mark anniversaries of life-changing events, I marked quite a few this past month. I smoked for 28 years, since age 11. I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday as a non-smoker and I did. I have no problem with smokers and am a second-hand smoke junkie*. I believe smokers' rights should not be ignored. This country didn't make cigarettes illegal so they should not illegalize their use. I forgot about some other anniversaries that happened in the last week or so: One year since I had my locks changed (for the 2nd time in a month); 364 weeks since I've seen my ex other than in court. Something sparked a memory yesterday and I realized those so-called "anniversaries" meant nothing to me. My quit-smoking day, however...  * Seriously, I only get good second-hand smoke about 3 times a week. If you're a smoker and I ask you to smoke near me for a minute, please indulge me. And smokers of SOMA, you have rights and I will support them for you. | ||

Must be a serendipitous karma thing. I met a new contractor today, who is starting some work on my house this weekend.  You are a very cool person & I'm glad you're my friend. | ||

I've been banned from Maplewood Online under my name Bets. Because I objected to S.O.D.A. being a huge dick. Let's see whether this disapears. villagenative Dave - what the flock? Why??? | ||

Bets don't let it get you down. You look great a real glow and sound even better since you got rid of the poisons in your life. I know your proud of yourself and I am so immpressed with all that you have accomplished. Great job keep punching you are stronger than you know! Think of all the money you have saved to treat yourself in some special way  | ||

http://www.southorangevillage.com/cgi-bin/show.cgi?tpc=3133&post=599869#POST5998 69 But you really weren't banned. You just needed to agree to "ease up" on Soda and he said he'd do the same via back channel communications. Ongoing spats are boring for others to read. | ||

Over and out. Go ahead and delete this blog, Dave, as I obviously cannot play by the rules. | ||
| greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 7583 Registered: 5-2001 |
I've never really seen the problem with Soda & find him funny on occassion. But, boy, was he out of line in the SO thread (I just read the link). I hope he got banned, too. Edited to add: When I say "too" I don't mean that I thought Bets should have been banned. I didn't really see anything wrong with her posts in that thread. Someone got killed. At a time of day when a child could have been out on his/her bike and been hit. Why is that fodder for parody or jokes? Is Soda so tunnel-visioned by his ongoing feud with Bets that everything she posts needs to be challenged? Maybe Soda & Kathleen should hook up; they'd probably have a lot in common. | ||
