Hoo. Ahh.

Well, if you got rid of the yucky cigarette, it would be. ;)

In the interests of keeping it an equal opportunities thread :)

Now we can't forget Jools!! :wub:

That is plain unfair. You have reminded me of the elegance of smoking the taste, the joy. the calming wonder of inhaling a lungful of toxic chemicals.
How I loved it.
How I loved it.

Sorry Magdala :( didn't mean to stir up memories but I just love that scene and Jools in particular.
Hey Benj, is that from Chelsea Walls?

Aw Magdala that's rough - know that feeling. Found out today that I have Mumps and the Doctor has prescribed staying clear of the fags for at least until it clears in addition to the 'never again' suggestion). All good stuff is bad for you *shrug*
RT- Yes it's Chelsea Walls - bought the dvd a few months back. Totally rec- it's a great film and RSL is fabulously good in it :) - all scruffy, playing guitar and looking extra hot. :D

Going off topic, but you're male right Benj? Yikes, not good. :o :(
Still, here's to yet another adult stricken with a childhood disease. I managed to survive various friends and classmates with chicken pox--yet another disease that can be really bad in adults, though I lucked out with a mild case-- throughout my childhood without being stricken myself, only to get get them over the 4th of July weekend when I was 16 (and then I can only figure I touched something someone contagious touched while on vacation in California). People would call up and ask if I wanted to do something or if they could come over and I'd have to say, "Sorry, I've got chicken pox". The response was generally, "You have what?!?" followed by laughter. :rolleyes:

Mumps?!? You didn't get vaccinated against that? Where I live, they won't even let a kid get enrolled in public school if they don't have the MMR (measles, mumps, reubella) vaccine.
Well, I hope you feel better soon! I've had a cold with a fever for three days and that's more than enough to make me miserable. I can't imagine having something as yucky as mumps! :o

My dear Benj,
Your doctor is a mean predictable bastard. If you feel you must have a cigarette, have one. When you get better you will have the emotional resources to totally give up smoking.
If the doctor is set on his 'cigarette mantra' demand patches, they do help. Or tell him you do not need to cope with mumps and a nervous breakdown as giving up cigarettes at this juncture could only invite depression.
I have never heard of a direct connection between mumps and cigarettes before, or is every illness blamed on smoking now? By which I mean is every illness blamed on the patient.
Of course if this is the same doctor you had as a tot maybe he failed you and your mother in the vaccination department (as stated by Telegram Sam). If this is the case no wonder he wants to hide behind the ever popular cigarettes.
Mumps is so nasty. Get better soon my love.

smoking's not for me but this ain't no PSA.

Hat love- niice
TS- Hope you feel better too! :)
Magdala – cheers for that but the blame for this one lies squarely with my ignorance and my old man’s day dream that root ginger and moonbeams are better informed than people who, y’know, deal with this stuff for a living. My parents opted us out of any vacs and I thought childhood diseases were the exclusive domain of those under twelve -didn’t follow through when I old enough to make my decisions. I have phoned my Dad to tell him that if he ever decides to pay a visit to the planet Earth then he might want to leave his moral superiority at home ‘cause it feels pretty rough here. The doc just said to lay off cigs because they won’t help and I’ll know I’m through with it when I disagree :)
Catlady- Yeah that got mentioned and I feel really bad because, although I’m not into the offspring version of the game, I could have passed it to guys who are. Man, parents really should think about kids other than own :( . I’ll give my Dad a slap next time I see him.

physical violence is so gauche. give him the House equivalent of the slap and play that scene for him from Paternity where House rips that mother a new one about vaccinations. ;)
feel better, Benj.
feel better, Benj.
| QUOTE ([i) |
| Paternity[/i]transcript][House walks away. Cut to the clinic and House is in an exam room with a young mother and her baby.] Young Mother: No formula, just mommy’s healthy natural breast milk. House: Yummy. Young Mother: Her whole face just got swollen like this overnight. House: Mmhmm. No fever, glands normal, missing her vaccination dates. Young Mother: We’re not vaccinating. [Baby giggles and coos] Young Mother: [Takes a toy frog and starts to make frog sounds] Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. [Giggles] [Baby smiles and giggles too] House: Think they don’t work? Young Mother: I think some multinational pharmaceutical company wants me to think they work. Pad their bottom line. House: Mmmm. May I? [He takes the frog and starts to do the gribbit noise with the baby] Young Mother: [Whispered] Sure. House: Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. [The baby laughs] All natural no dies. That’s a good business: all-natural children’s toys. Those toy companies, they don’t arbitrarily mark up their frogs. They don’t lie about how much they spend in research and development. The worst a toy company can be accused of is making a really boring frog. [Young Mother laughs and so does House. The baby giggles again] House: Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green or fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect the kid for 6 months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you’ll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred parents like you decide they’d rather let their kid die then cough up 40 bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop REALLY fast. Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. Young Mother: Tell me what she has. House: A cold. [Cut to House leaving the clinic when the ducklings all approach.] |

I'm unvacced too, Benj, and I'm cool with that. So far just Chicken Pox, Measles (common childhood diseases, much better than getting them older) and a case of Whooping Cough a couple of years ago.
