I have a real quandry if I meet someone, we get along, and AFTER I find out how nice she is, I discover, YECCH, she smokes! Has only hapened (happened) once -- I suppose this means I am automatically shutting myself off from some swwell person, but, c'est la guerre. My sister-in-law, for example, smokes very rarely, but had I seen her doing it even once, yecch! And she is sweet, lovable, and marvelous. By the by, speaking of her, it is due to her that I am a gourmet cook. (My brother is about 11 years older than I and has been going with/ married to Judy since I have been about 7). One day she said to me, (a la Arlo Guthrie) --- " KID!! I'm going to teach you how to cook. One day you will thank me for this" . And I have too. (I remember thinking at the time it was more fun than chemistry 'cuz at the end you could EAT the YUMMY stuff!!). (Flame slowly dying into the sun rise) -- Larry S.
