Were, per chance, your gums bleeding during this visit? If so, perhaps her insistence was justified. I kid, I agree that doctors should not be insisting such things, but I have no problem with them being overt and not sugarcoating the potential hazards that lifestyle choices present.

I forget, do you still smoke regularly? I know we shared one in DC but I seem to recall bunking that for us from some REALLY snotty girls.

Wow. I just had a memory return to me from the land of blackout.

Nope, gums weren't bleeding. I know I should quit it. I've only been smoking for a year (this go-round). Before that I quit for almost two years and before that I smoked a pack and a half a day. So it's clearly a love-and-leave-em affair for me.

I do still smoke regularly. Sometimes more than less. You may have bunked one from snotty girls after Meriadoc and I departed. I had enough to get me through the night and shared with you and insomniasexx .

Next time we go out I shall have to contrive to blackout. - No not really, I tend to throw up before I blackout, as a result I've only blacked out twice. (Impressively, on one occasion I both did not throw up, and still had the sense to turn down an offer of a ride from a car of three middle eastern men. (THAT was a memory I only kept because drunk me was also TEXTING while stumbling down the block and I told the person I was texting about it.) Yay blackout me.)
