Something to go in your "memories" folder -

*ahem*

I've said this many times. But it bears repeating.

Gift me if you will. I will only ask for one thing, and one thing only.

If you smoke, quit. That's what I want for Christmas, New Years, Divali, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Birthday, Fat Tuesday, Happy Friday - what have you.

If you smoke.

Quit. Please.

Lung cancer is only at the top of a very, very long list in the teeniest print you can imagine of things that can happen to you, just because you smoke. Teeny print, I tell you in all honesty.

I never have. I grew up in hospitals, and Jim still works in one. He takes x-rays all day - you tell me who's motivated not to smoke, and to coax other people away from it.

If you don't smoke, I adore bath fizzies. Woodsy scents preferred.

..

Mom's bladder cancer was directly tied to her smoking earlier in life - it was one of the first cancers to be determined to have a direct link to it.

..and jeez, isn't it expensive enough to consider not spending the money?
