I'm sure it would help you to stop if she would at least not smoke around you.
Quite.
When I used to smoke and she didn't, for several years she used to make me go outside in the cold, rain and snow, or smoke in out freezing conservatory. I couldn't do that to her. , but she could smoke in her sitting room, and not with me.
But i am still smoking, just less.

Just a flying visit this morning- busy day ahead.

Already had the electrician to the house: replaced a fluorescent light in the kitchen that had gone bad. But his biggest task was correcting the labeling of our breaker box. When the house was built, 18 years ago, the electrician apparently COMPLETELY mislabeled the breaker box. Found this out last summer when we had to replace the dishwasher. I turned off the breaker labeled "dishwasher" but the poor workman doing the installation still got a shock! He was able to figure out which breaker DID go to the dishwasher: the one labelled "garage door opener!" o_O
Hubby and I figured that electrocuting workmen was really not the thing to do
, so the next time we needed something fixed we'd have them correct the labelling as well. It was quite fun, really: the workman turned off all the breakers, selected an outlet and plugged in a gadget that would light up orange when it had power. My task was to stand and watch the gadget while he turned breakers back on, and to shout when this one lit up. He was guessing that just a few were mixed up, but we found the :eek: WHOLE panel was completely mislabelled!!!!!!!!!! But it's corrected now, so I'm VERY glad!!! It took almost a hour.
Got regular errands plus physical therapy this afternoon, so will pop back in this evening- which will be quite late for our UK contingent.

TTFN ;)

I think it's good training. If they don't test it beforehand, then its entirely their fault and they deserve to be shocked. ;)

For 35 years.
Which considering my lung condition and breathing problems is really, really stupid.
I have cut down, but enjoy it too much.
And I am uncontrollably nasty and bad-tempered if i can't have a cigarette.
Nicotine is a VERY powerful addiction. :(
When I worked at a Substance Abuse clinic many years ago, we had guys who could quit alcohol, could quit narcotics/opiates, could quit cocaine and anything else you can think of, but they COULDN'T quit the cigarettes!!!!!! Powerful, POWERFUL addiction. PLUS nicotine is known to improve concentration and focus, so without it people really notice!

So, please don't beat yourself up, Adam. :)

Just pulled up at the PT office, so I'm dashing off again!!!! ;)
